| * powerpc/40x: Add support for PPC40x boards with > 512MB SDRAMStefan Roese2010-02-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for boards with more that 512MByte RAM. Currently only 512MB of memory are enabled in the DCCR/ICCR real-mode cache control registers. This patch now enables caching in real-mode for 2GByte.

| * powerpc/44x: Add MTD support (NOR FLASH) to Katmai dtsStefan Roese2010-02-101-19/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds NOR FLASH MTD support to the Katmai (440SPe) dts file. For this the OPB ranges address is mapped differently (base 0x00000000 -> 0xe0000000). This results in the address being identical to the lower 32bit of its physical address. This is needed for the MTD mapping to work correctly, since U-Boot will insert the physical addresses of the EBC chip selects into the EBC ranges property. This is the way its done in most other 4xx dts files as well. Additionally with a small whitespace cleanup.

* | powerpc: Use lwsync for acquire barrier if CPU supports itAnton Blanchard2010-02-172-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing his patches across other ppc64 processors. Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5 and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression. This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync method.

To avoid a binutils dependency this patch create macros for the extended lwarx format and uses it in the spinlock code. To test this change I used a simple test case that acquires and releases a global pthread mutex: pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex); pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex); On a 32 core POWER6, running 32 test threads we spend almost all our time in the futex spinlock code: 94.37% perf [kernel] [k] ._raw_spin_lock | |--99.95%-- ._raw_spin_lock | | | |--63.29%-- .futex_wake | | | |--36.64%-- .futex_wait_setup Which is a good test for this patch. The results (in lock/unlock operations per second) are: before: 1538203 ops/sec after: 2189219 ops/sec An improvement of 42% A 32 core POWER7 improves even more: before: 1279529 ops/sec after: 2282076 ops/sec An improvement of 78% Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* | powerpc: Convert global "BAD" interrupt to per cpu spuriousAnton Blanchard2010-02-172-15/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day. Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are occurring.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /proc/interrupts With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat summaries. While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions. I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to keep a machine check summary. The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a large machine I noticed the columns of /proc/interrupts failed to line up with the header after CPU9. At sufficiently large numbers of CPUs it becomes impossible to line up the CPU number with the counts. While fixing this I noticed x86 has a number of updates that we may as well pull in. On PowerPC we currently omit an interrupt completely if there is no active handler, whereas on x86 it is printed if there is a non zero count. The x86 code also spaces the first column correctly based on nr_irqs. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

E.g. stall happens on 1 CPU box when a dm-mpath device with queue_if_no_path bounces between all-paths-down and paths-up on I/O load. When target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE, map_request() requeues the request and returns to dm_request_fn(). Then, dm_request_fn() doesn't exit the I/O dispatching loop and continues processing the requeued request again. This map and requeue loop can be done with interrupt disabled, so 1 CPU system can be stalled if this situation happens. For example, commands below can stall my 1 CPU box within 1 minute or so: # dmsetup table mp mp: 0 2097152 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:144 1 1 # while true; do dd if=/dev/mapper/mp of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100; done & # while true; do \ > dmsetup message mp 0 "fail_path 8:144" \ > dmsetup suspend --noflush mp \ > dmsetup resume mp \ > dmsetup message mp 0 "reinstate_path 8:144" \ > done To fix the problem above, this patch changes dm_request_fn() to exit the I/O dispatching loop once if a request is requeued in map_request().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When suspending a failed mirror, bios are completed by mirror_end_io() and __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL where a non-NULL return value is required by design. Fix this by not changing the state of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). Issue On 2.6.33-rc1 kernel, I hit the bug when I suspended the failed mirror by dmsetup command.

When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state, DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time. When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected. Solution Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change because: - If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state. - If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the delayed_bio list. The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end() was added in the following commit: dm raid1: handle resync failures author Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:29:04 +0000 (17:29 +0100) http://git.kernel.org/linus/f44db678edcc6f4c2779ac43f63f0b9dfa28b724 Signed-off-by: Takahiro Yasui <tyasui@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

This code path is taken: do_writes: bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync); do_failures: if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false) else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false) else bio_endio(bio, 0); The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it is reported as success.

| | * dm log: userspace fix overhead_size calcuationsJonathan Brassow2010-02-161-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'. 'overhead_size' is the size of the various header structures used during communication. The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being computed. This is then used in a check to see if the payload (data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure. Since the bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the structure to be breached. (Although the current users of the code do not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.) The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it with fresh data. This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)' not overhead_size. The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's worth of space at the end uncleared. Thus, this bug was never producing a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the value is computed correctly.

When a cycle is lost, the controller will send the packet in the next cycle, instead of terminating the entire DMA program. There are two reasons for this: * This behaviour is compatible with the old IEEE1394 stack. Old applications would not expect the DMA program to stop in this case. * Since the OHCI driver does not report any uncompleted packets, the context would stop silently; clients would not have any chance to detect and handle this error without a watchdog timer. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Pieter Palmers notes: "The reason I added this retry behavior to the old stack is because some cards now and then fail to send a packet (e.g. the o2micro card in my dell laptop). I couldn't figure out why exactly this happens, my best guess is that the card cannot fetch the payload data on time. This happens much more frequently when sending large packets, which leads me to suspect that there are some contention issues with the DMA that fills the transmit FIFO. In the old stack it was a pretty critical issue as it resulted in a freeze of the userspace application. The omission of a packet doesn't necessarily have to be an issue. E.g. in IEC61883 streams the DBC field can be used to detect discontinuities in the stream. So as long as the other side doesn't bail when no [packet] is present in a cycle, there is not really a problem. I'm not convinced though that retrying is the proper solution, but it is simple and effective for what it had to do. And I think there are no reasons not to do it this way. Userspace can still detect this by checking the cycle the descriptor was sent in." Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> (changelog, comment)

This caused a panic in the 1394 async transmit completion tasklet when it dereferenced unitialized list heads: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15077 The fix is to add checks in the tx soft IRQ and in the tasklet to determine which of these two is the last referrer to the transaction object. Then handle the cleanup of the object by the last referrer rather than assuming that the tasklet is always the last one. There is another similar race: Between said tasklet and fwnet_close, i.e. at ifdown. However, that race is much less likely to occur in practice and shall be fixed in a separate update.

The value of fattr->time_start is propagated to read_cache_jiffies by nfs_update_inode(). Subsequent calls to nfs_attribute_timeout() will then use a good time stamp when computing the attribute cache timeout, and squelch unneeded GETATTR calls. Since the direct I/O paths erroneously leave the inode's fattr->time_start field set to zero, read_cache_jiffies for that inode is set to zero after any direct read or write operation. This triggers an otw GETATTR or ACCESS call to update the file's attribute and access caches properly, even when the NFS READ or WRITE replies have usable post-op attributes. Make sure the direct read and write setup code performs the same fattr initialization as the cached I/O paths to prevent unnecessary GETATTR calls. This was likely introduced by commit 0e574af1 in 2.6.15, which appears to add new nfs_fattr_init() call sites in the cached read and write paths, but not in the equivalent places in fs/nfs/direct.c. A subsequent commit in the same series, 33801147, introduces the fattr->time_start field. Interestingly, the direct write reschedule path already has a call to nfs_fattr_init() in the right place.
