* md: never clear bit from the write-intent bitmap when the array is degraded.NeilBrown2009-03-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is safe to clear a bit from the write-intent bitmap for a raid1 if we know the data has been written to all devices, which is what the current test does. But it is not always safe to update the 'events_cleared' counter in that case. This is because one request could complete successfully after some other request has partially failed. So simply disable the clearing and updating of events_cleared whenever the array is degraded. This might end up not clearing some bits that could safely be cleared, but it is safest approach. Note that the bug fixed here did not risk corrupting data by letting the array get out-of-sync. Rather it meant that when a device is removed and re-added to the array, it might incorrectly require a full recovery rather than just recovering based on the bitmap.

* md: Allow write-intent bitmaps to have chunksize < PAGE_SIZENeilBrown2009-03-311-6/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md currently insists that the chunk size used for write-intent bitmaps (the amount of data that corresponds to one chunk) be at least one page. The reason for this restriction is lost in the mists of time, but a review of the code (and a vague memory) suggests that the only problem would be related to resync. Resync tries very hard to work in multiples of a page, but also needs to sync with units of a bitmap_chunk too. This connection comes out in the bitmap_start_sync call. So change bitmap_start_sync to always work in multiples of a page. If the bitmap chunk size is less that one page, we flag multiple chunks as 'syncing' and generally make them all appear to the resync routines like one chunk. All other code either already works with data ranges that could span multiple chunks, or explicitly only cares about a single chunk. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: Fix is_mddev_idle test (again).NeilBrown2009-03-312-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two problems with is_mddev_idle. 1/ sync_io is 'atomic_t' and hence 'int'. curr_events and all the rest are 'long'. So if sync_io were to wrap on a 64bit host, the value of curr_events would go very negative suddenly, and take a very long time to return to positive. So do all calculations as 'int'. That gives us plenty of precision for what we need. 2/ To initialise rdev->last_events we simply call is_mddev_idle, on the assumption that it will make sure that last_events is in a suitable range. It used to do this, but now it does not. So now we need to be more explicit about initialisation. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6. Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CLONE_PARENT can fool the ->self_exec_id/parent_exec_id logic.

Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the (usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :).

There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.

In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys. But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless. I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the addrconf cleanup function. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

So do it as we use interrupts instead. Also means we only alloc for irqs we use, which was the intent of CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ anyway.

We can get around this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid. 5 seems like a good number. Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!). We could just indicate that we don't support MSRs, or implement lguest_rdmst.

But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled kernels. This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario: Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt happens which updates accouting values. This causes acct_timexpd to be greater than the former stime + utime. The subsequent calculation of dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd); will be negative and the division performed by cputime_to_jiffies(dtime) will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit register. In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any of the accounting values.

This can delay RCU grace period to insane values. Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem. Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from "schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".
