In __blk_complete_request, we check both QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_COMP and req->cpu
to decide whether we should use req->cpu. Actually the user can also
select the complete cpu by either setting BIO_CPU_AFFINE or by calling
bio_set_completion_cpu. Current solution makes these 2 ways don't work
any more. So we'd better just check req->cpu.

bdi_forker_thread() clears BDI_pending bit at the end of the main loop.
However clearing of this bit must not be done in some cases which is
handled by calling 'continue' from switch statement. That's kind of
unusual construct and without a good reason so change the function into
more intuitive code flow.

Cleaning up the code a little bit. attempt_plug_merge() traverses the plug
list anyway, we can do the request counting there, so stack size is reduced
a little bit.
The motivation here is I suspect if we should count the requests for each
queue (task could handle multiple disks in the meantime), but my test doesn't
show it's worthy doing. If somebody proves we should do it, below change
will make that more easier.

Do blk_flush_plug_list() first and then add new request aDo blk_flush_plug_list() first and then add new request aDo blk_flush_plug_list() first and then add new request at the tail. New
request can't be merged to existing requests, but later new requests might
be merged with this new one. If blk_flush_plug_list() is done later, the
merge doesn't happen.
Believe it or not, this fixes a 10% regression running sysbench workload.

Commit 5757a6d76cdf added the QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE flag, but fails to
clear that flag when the current state is '2' (SAME_COMP + SAME_FORCE)
and the new state is '1' (SAME_COMP).

When do block-attach/block-detach test with below steps, umount hangs
in the guest. Furthermore shutdown ends up being stuck when umounting file-systems.
1. start guest.
2. attach new block device by xm block-attach in Dom0.
3. mount new disk in guest.
4. execute xm block-detach to detach the block device in dom0 until timeout
5. Any request to the disk will hung.
Root cause:
This issue is caused when setting backend device's state to
'XenbusStateClosing', which sends to the frontend the XenbusStateClosing
notification. When frontend receives the notification it tries to release
the disk in blkfront_closing(), but at that moment the disk is still in use
by guest, so frontend refuses to close. Specifically it sets the disk state to
XenbusStateClosing and sends the notification to backend - when backend receives the
event, it disconnects the vbd from real device, and sets the vbd device state to
XenbusStateClosing. The backend disconnects the real device/file, and any IO
requests to the disk in guest will end up in ether, leaving disk DEAD and set to
XenbusStateClosing. When the guest wants to disconnect the disk, umount will
hang on blkif_release()->xlvbd_release_gendisk() as it is unable to send any IO
to the disk, which prevents clean system shutdown.
Solution:
Don't disconnect backend until frontend state switched to XenbusStateClosed.

Add a new REQ_PRIO to let requests preempt others in the cfq I/O schedule,
and lave REQ_META purely for marking requests as metadata in blktrace.
All existing callers of REQ_META except for XFS are updated to also

redefined [-Werror] /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:226:0: note: this is the
location of the previous definition

There was a problem with the parse_events() code not printing the
correct event name when an event was unknown and starting with an 'r'.
The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed.
Without the patch:
$ perf stat -e retired_foo
invalid event modifier: 'tired_foo'
With the patch:
$ perf stat -e retired_foo
invalid or unsupported event: 'retired_foo'
This also covers the case where the name of the event was not printed at
all when perf was linked with libpfm4.

When no event is given to perf record, perf top, a default event is
initialized (cycles). However, perf_evlist__add_default() was not
setting the symbolic name for the event. Perf top worked simply because
it was reconstructing the name from the event code. But it should not
have to do this. This patch initializes the evsel->name field properly.
This second version improves the code flow on the non error path.

Fix regression for HVM case on older (<4.1.1) hypervisors caused by
commit 99bbb3a84a99cd04ab16b998b20f01a72cfa9f4f
Author: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com>
Date: Thu Dec 2 17:55:10 2010 +0000
xen: PV on HVM: support PV spinlocks and IPIs
This change replaced the SMP operations with event based handlers without
taking into account that this only works when the hypervisor supports
callback vectors. This causes unexplainable hangs early on boot for
HVM guests with more than one CPU.

The order-based approach is not only less efficient (requiring a shift
and a compare, typical generated code looking like this
mov eax, [machine_to_phys_order]
mov ecx, eax
shr ebx, cl
test ebx, ebx
jnz ...
whereas a direct check requires just a compare, like in
cmp ebx, [machine_to_phys_nr]
jae ...
), but also slightly dangerous in the 32-on-64 case - the element
address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is
sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and
hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
unknown what may actually be mapped there).
Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should
have been __fls()) fixes a latent issue on x86-64 that would trigger
if the code was run on a system with memory extending beyond the 44-bit
boundary.

firewire: core: handle ack_busy when fetching the Config ROM

Some older Panasonic made camcorders (Panasonic AG-EZ30 and NV-DX110,
Grundig Scenos DLC 2000) reject requests with ack_busy_X if a request is
sent immediately after they sent a response to a prior transaction.
This causes firewire-core to fail probing of the camcorder with "giving
up on config rom for node id ...". Consequently, programs like kino or
dvgrab are unaware of the presence of a camcorder.
Such transaction failures happen also with the ieee1394 driver stack
(of the 2.4...2.6 kernel series until 2.6.36 inclusive) but with a lower
likelihood, such that kino or dvgrab are generally able to use these
camcorders via the older driver stack. The cause for firewire-ohci's or
firewire-core's worse behavior is not yet known. Gap count optimization
in firewire-core is not the cause. Perhaps the slightly higher latency
of transaction completion in the older stack plays a role. (ieee1394:
AR-resp DMA context tasklet -> packet completion ktread -> user process;
firewire-core: tasklet -> user process.)
This change introduces retries and delays after ack_busy_X into
firewire-core's Config ROM reader, such that at least firewire-core's
probing and /dev/fw* creation are successful. This still leaves the
problem that userland processes are facing transaction failures.
gscanbus's built-in retry routines deal with them successfully, but
neither kino's nor dvgrab's do ever succeed.
But at least DV capture with "dvgrab -noavc -card 0" works now. Live
video preview in kino works too, but not actual capture.
One way to prevent Configuration ROM reading failures in application
programs is to modify libraw1394 to synthesize read responses by means
of firewire-core's Configuration ROM cache. This would only leave
CMP and FCP transaction failures as a potential problem source for
applications.

This fixes a regression introduced by commit cdcb725c05fe ("Btrfs: check
if there is enough space for balancing smarter"). We can't do 64-bit
divides on 32-bit architectures.
In cases where we need to divide/multiply by 2 we should just left/right
shift respectively, and in cases where theres N number of devices use
do_div. Also make the counters u64 to match up with rw_devices.

There is a race between ext4 buffer write and direct_IO read with
dioread_nolock mount option enabled. The problem is that we clear
PageWriteback flag during end_io time but will do
uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion later with dioread_nolock.
If an O_direct read request comes in during this period, ext4 will return
zero instead of the recently written data.
This patch checks whether there are any pending uninitialized-to-initialized
extent conversion requests before doing O_direct read to close the race.
Note that this is just a bandaid fix. The fundamental issue is that we
clear PageWriteback flag before we really complete an IO, which is
problem-prone. To fix the fundamental issue, we may need to implement an
extent tree cache that we can use to look up pending to-be-converted extents.

Bug discovered by Jan Kara:
Finally, commit 1449032be17abb69116dbc393f67ceb8bd034f92 returned back
the old IO submission code but apparently it forgot to return the old
handling of uninitialized buffers so we unconditionnaly call
block_write_full_page() without specifying end_io function. So AFAICS
we never convert unwritten extents to written in some cases. For
example when I mount the fs as: mount -t ext4 -o
nomblk_io_submit,dioread_nolock /dev/ubdb /mnt and do
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0600);
char buf[1024];
memset(buf, 'a', sizeof(buf));
fallocate(fd, 0, 0, 16384);
write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
I get a file full of zeros (after remounting the filesystem so that
pagecache is dropped) instead of seeing the first KB contain 'a's.

EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag set and the increase of i_aiodio_unwritten
should be done simultaneously since ext4_end_io_nolock always clear
the flag and decrease the counter in the same time.
We don't increase i_aiodio_unwritten when setting
EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN so it will go nagative and causes some process
to wait forever.
Part of the patch came from Eric in his e-mail, but it doesn't fix the
problem met by Michael actually.

Flush inode's i_completed_io_list before calling ext4_io_wait to
prevent the following deadlock scenario: A page fault happens while
some process is writing inode A. During page fault,
shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode
B. Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero. However, inode
B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue. As the ext4-dio-unwritten
thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
grab inode A's i_mutex lock. Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.
Also moves ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from
ext4_destroy_inode() to ext4_evict_inode(). During inode deleteion,
ext4_evict_inode() is called before ext4_destroy_inode() and in
ext4_evict_inode(), we may call ext4_truncate() without holding
i_mutex lock. As a result, there is a race between flush_completed_IO
that is called from ext4_ext_truncate() and ext4_end_io_work, which
may cause corruption on an io_end structure. This change moves
ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from ext4_destroy_inode()
to ext4_evict_inode() to resolve the race between ext4_truncate() and
ext4_end_io_work during inode deletion.

ext4_should_writeback_data() had an incorrect sequence of
tests to determine if it should return 0 or 1: in
particular, even in no-journal mode, 0 was being returned
for a non-regular-file inode.
This meant that, in non-journal mode, we would use
ext4_journalled_aops for directories, symlinks, and other
non-regular files. However, calling journalled aop
callbacks when there is no valid handle, can cause problems.
This would cause a kernel crash with Jan Kara's commit
2d859db3e4 ("ext4: fix data corruption in inodes with
journalled data"), because we now dereference 'handle' in
ext4_journalled_write_end().
I also added BUG_ONs to check for a valid handle in the
obviously journal-only aops callbacks.
I tested this running xfstests with a scratch device in
these modes:
- no-journal
- data=ordered
- data=writeback
- data=journal
All work fine; the data=journal run has many failures and a
crash in xfstests 074, but this is no different from a
vanilla kernel.

Currently HD-audio driver shows the all error ELD byte as an error
in the kernel message. This is annoying when the video driver doesn't
set the correct ELD from the beginning. e.g. radeon sends a zero-byte
data, but we still check ELD with the fixed 128 byte as a workaround
for some broken devices, it spews 128-times errors.
For avoiding this, the driver aborts reading when the first byte is
invalid. In such a case, the whole data is certainly invalid.

The recent fix for testing dB range at the mixer creation time seems
to cause regressions in some devices. In such devices, reading the dB
info at probing time gives an error, thus both dBmin and dBmax are still
zero, and TLV flag isn't set although the later read of dB info succeeds.
This patch adds a workaround for such a case by assuming that the later
read will succeed. In future, a similar test should be performed in a
case where a wrong dB range is seen even in the later read.

The snd_usb_caiaq driver currently assumes that output urbs are serviced
in time and doesn't track when and whether they are given back by the
USB core. That usually works fine, but due to temporary limitations of
the XHCI stack, we faced that urbs were submitted more than once with
this approach.
As it's no good practice to fire and forget urbs anyway, this patch
introduces a proper bit mask to track which requests have been submitted
and given back.
That alone however doesn't make the driver work in case the host
controller is broken and doesn't give back urbs at all, and the output
stream will stop once all pre-allocated output urbs are consumed. But
it does prevent crashes of the controller stack in such cases.
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40702 for more details.

Prior to Ivybridge, the GFX_MODE would default to 0x800, meaning that
MI_FLUSH would flush the TLBs in addition to the rest of the caches
indicated in the MI_FLUSH command. However starting with Ivybridge, the
register defaults to 0x2800 out of reset, meaning that to invalidate the
TLB we need to use PIPE_CONTROL. Since we're not doing that yet, go
back to the old default so things work.

We have a kernel build regression since 3.1-rc1, which is about 10%
regression. The kernel source is in an ext3 filesystem.
Alex Shi bisect it to commit:
commit a07405b7802691d29ab3b23bdc76ee6d006aad0b
Author: Justin TerAvest <teravest@google.com>
Date: Sun Jul 10 22:09:19 2011 +0200
cfq: Remove special treatment for metadata rqs.
Apparently this is caused by lack metadata preemption, where ext3/ext4
do use READ_META. I didn't see a way to fix the issue, so suggest
reverting the patch.
This reverts commit a07405b7802691d29ab3b23bdc76ee6d006aad0b.

Commit ae1b1539622fb46e51b4d13b3f9e5f4c713f86ae, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA). The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:
static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
struct request *rq;
while (1) {
- while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+ if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
- if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
- (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
- return rq;
- rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
- if (rq)
- return rq;
+ return rq;
}
Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:
struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
REQ_FUA);
unsigned skip = 0;
...
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
if (!has_fua)
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
return rq;
}
So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).
Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.
The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.
In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.
I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeff

This patch reverts commit 35ae66e0a09ab70ed(block: Make rq_affinity = 1
work as expected). The purpose is to avoid an unnecessary IPI.
Let's take an example. My test box has cpu 0-7, one socket. Say request is
added from CPU 1, blk_complete_request() occurs at CPU 7. Without the reverted
patch, softirq will be done at CPU 7. With it, an IPI will be directed to CPU
0, and softirq will be done at CPU 0. In this case, doing softirq at CPU 0 and
CPU 7 have no difference from cache sharing point view and we can avoid an
ipi if doing it in CPU 7.
An immediate concern is this is just like QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, but actually
not. blk_complete_request() is running in interrupt handler, and currently
I/O controller doesn't support multiple interrupts (I checked several LSI
cards and AHCI), so only one CPU can run blk_complete_request(). This is
still quite different as QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE.
Since only one CPU runs softirq, the only difference with below patch is
softirq not always runs at the first CPU of a group.
