2006-06-10[PATCH] Further alterations for memory barrier documentDavid Howells1-78/+270
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan Stern. The following changes were made: (*) One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory barriers was wrong. (*) The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier. This isn't entirely true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both. (*) The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the opposite order to the stores around the write barrier. (*) Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to the stores. (*) Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences" section to make them clearer. Added a couple of diagrams to make it more clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier. (*) Added a section on memory speculation. (*) Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory barriers. They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on. This may be worthy of further documentation later. (*) Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.

Grand unification of the three types of workarounds we have so far. The "skip mode page 8" workaround is now limited to devices which pretend to be of TYPE_DISK instead of TYPE_RBC. This workaround is no longer enabled for Initio bridges. Patch update in anticipation of more workarounds: - Add module parameter "workarounds". - Deprecate parameter "force_inquiry_hack". - Compose the blacklist of a compound type for better readability and extensibility. - Remove a now unused #define.

As reported in Bugzilla Bug 6406, resume from S3 results in a blank screen. For the IBM Thinkpad X30 using vesafb as the console driver, successful resume from S3 requires option acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode. Update documentation.

2006-04-27[SCSI] megaraid_{mm,mbox}: fix a bug in reset handlerJu, Seokmann1-0/+25
When abort failed, the driver gets reset handleer called. In the reset handler, driver calls 'scsi_done()' callback for same SCSI command packet (struct scsi_cmnd) multiple times if there are multiple SCSI command packet in the pend_list. More over, if there are entry in the pend_lsit with IOCTL packet associated, the driver returns it to wrong free_list so that, in turn, the driver could end up with 'NULL pointer dereference..' during I/O command building with incorrect resource. Also, the patch contains several minor/cosmetic changes besides this.

2006-04-14[PATCH] dma doc updatesDavid Brownell2-18/+53
This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues: - The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results: using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup. - Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers that may need to be flushed. - Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and (especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls. I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

Also explains why special barriers exist in addition to normal barriers. Further fix the memory barrier documents to portray bitwise operation memory barrier effects correctly following Nick Piggin's comments. It makes the point that any atomic op that both modifies some state in memory and returns information on that state implies memory barriers on both sides.

2006-04-09[PATCH] x86_64: Reserve SRAT hotadd memory on x86-64Andi Kleen1-0/+5
From: Keith Mannthey, Andi Kleen Implement memory hotadd without sparsemem. The memory in the SRAT hotadd area is just preserved instead and can be activated later. There are a few restrictions: - Only one continuous hotadd area allowed per node The main problem is dealing with the many buggy SRAT tables that are out there. The strategy here is to reject anything suspicious. Originally from Keith Mannthey, with several hacks and changes by AK and also contributions from Andrew Morton [ TBD: Problems pointed out by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>: 1) Goto's rebuild_zonelist patch will not work if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n. Rebuilding zonelist is necessary when the system has just memory < 4G at boot, and hot add memory > 4G. because x86_64 has DMA32, ZONE_NORAML is not included into zonelist at boot time if system doesn't have memory >4G at boot. [AK: should just force the higher zones at boot time when SRAT tells us] 2) zone and node's spanned_pages and present_pages are not incremented. They should be. For example, our server (ia64/Fujitsu PrimeQuest) can equip memory from 4G to 1T(maybe 2T in future), and SRAT will *always* say we have possible 1T +memory. (Microsoft requires "write all possible memory in SRAT") When we reserve memmap for possible 1T memory, Linux will not work well in +minimum 4G configuraion ;) [AK: needs limiting to 5-10% of max memory] ] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-31[PATCH] Document Linux's memory barriers [try #7]David Howells1-0/+1913
The attached patch documents the Linux kernel's memory barriers. I've updated it from the comments I've been given. The per-arch notes sections are gone because it's clear that there are so many exceptions, that it's not worth having them. I've added a list of references to other documents. I've tried to get rid of the concept of memory accesses appearing on the bus; what matters is apparent behaviour with respect to other observers in the system. Interrupts barrier effects are now considered to be non-existent. They may be there, but you may not rely on them. I've added a couple of definition sections at the top of the document: one to specify the minimum execution model that may be assumed, the other to specify what this document refers to by the term "memory". I've made greater mention of the use of mmiowb(). I've adjusted the way in which caches are described, and described the fun that can be had with cache coherence maintenance being unordered and data dependency not being necessarily implicit. I've described (smp_)read_barrier_depends(). I've rearranged the order of the sections, so that memory barriers are discussed in abstract first, and then described the memory barrier facilities available on Linux, before going on to more real-world discussions and examples. I've added information about the lack of memory barriering effects with atomic ops and bitops. I've added information about control dependencies. I've added more diagrams to illustrate caching interactions between CPUs. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-31[PATCH] LED: class documentationRichard Purdie1-0/+71
The LED class/subsystem takes John Lenz's work and extends and alters it to give what I think should be a fairly universal LED implementation. The series consists of several logical units: * LED Core + Class implementation * LED Trigger Core implementation * LED timer trigger (example of a complex trigger) * LED device drivers for corgi, spitz and tosa Zaurus models * LED device driver for locomo LEDs * LED device driver for ARM ixp4xx LEDs * Zaurus charging LED trigger * IDE disk activity LED trigger * NAND MTD activity LED trigger Why? ==== LEDs are really simple devices usually amounting to a GPIO that can be turned on and off so why do we need all this code? On handheld or embedded devices they're an important part of an often limited user interface. Both users and developers want to be able to control and configure what the LED does and the number of different things they'd potentially want the LED to show is large. A subsystem is needed to try and provide all this different functionality in an architecture independent, simple but complete, generic and scalable manner. The alternative is for everyone to implement just what they need hidden away in different corners of the kernel source tree and to provide an inconsistent interface to userspace. Other Implementations ===================== I'm aware of the existing arm led implementation. Currently the new subsystem and the arm code can coexist quite happily. Its up to the arm community to decide whether this new interface is acceptable to them. As far as I can see, the new interface can do everything the existing arm implementation can with the advantage that the new code is architecture independent and much more generic, configurable and scalable. I'm prepared to make the conversion to the LED subsystem (or assist with it) if appropriate. Implementation Details ====================== I've stripped a lot of code out of John's original LED class. Colours were removed as LED colour is now part of the device name. Multiple colours are to be handled as multiple led devices. This means you get full control over each colour. I also removed the LED hardware timer code as the generic timer isn't going to add much overhead and is just as useful. I also decided to have the LED core track the current LED status (to ease suspend/resume handling) removing the need for brightness_get implementations in the LED drivers. An underlying design philosophy is simplicity. The aim is to keep a small amount of code giving as much functionality as possible. The major new idea is the led "trigger". A trigger is a source of led events. Triggers can either be simple or complex. A simple trigger isn't configurable and is designed to slot into existing subsystems with minimal additional code. Examples are the ide-disk, nand-disk and zaurus-charging triggers. With leds disabled, the code optimises away. Examples are nand-disk and ide-disk. Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific parameters and work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example. You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler is chosen (via /sys/class/leds/somedevice/trigger). So far there are only a handful of examples but it should easy to add further LED triggers without too much interference into other subsystems. Known Issues ============ The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions would cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue compared to the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The rest of the LED subsystem can be modular. Some leds can be programmed to flash in hardware. As this isn't a generic LED device property, I think this should be exported as a device specific sysfs attribute rather than part of the class if this functionality is required (eg. to keep the led flashing whilst the device is suspended). Future Development ================== At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED. There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a particular LED. The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver should cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the current interface. A CPU activity trigger similar to that found in the arm led implementation should be trivial to add. This patch: Add some brief documentation of the design decisions behind the LED class and how it appears to users.

Attached you'll find an ALSA driver for AdLib FM cards. An AdLib card is just an OPL2, which was already supported by sound/drivers/opl3, so only very minimal bus-glue is needed. The patch applies cleanly to both 2.6.16 and 2.6.16-mm1. The driver has been tested with an actual ancient 8-bit ISA AdLib card and works fine. It also works fine for an OPL3 {,emulation} as still found on many ISA soundcards but given that AdLib cards don't have their own mixer, upping the volume from 0 might be a problem without the card driver already loaded and driving the OPL3.

The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object. Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the older libata-pata patches.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+5
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

We have a problem in a lot of emulated storage in that it takes a page from get_user_pages() and does something like kmap_atomic(page) modify page kunmap_atomic(page) However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the kunmap. We need a lightweight API to do this, so this new API would specifically be for flushing the kernel cache view of a user page which the kernel has modified. The driver would need to add flush_kernel_dcache_page(page) before the final kunmap.

This is a problem for things like fuse and the SCSI generic ioctl SG_IO which can potentially wish to do DMA to anonymous pages passed in by users.

2006-03-25[PATCH] Validate and sanitze itimer timeval from userspaceThomas Gleixner1-0/+12
According to the specification the timevals must be validated and an errorcode -EINVAL returned in case the timevals are not in canonical form. This check was never done in Linux. The pre 2.6.16 code converted invalid timevals silently. Negative timeouts were converted by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion to the maximum timeout. hrtimers and the ktime_t operations expect timevals in canonical form. Otherwise random results might happen on 32 bits machines due to the optimized ktime_add/sub operations. Negative timeouts are treated as already expired. This might break applications which work on pre 2.6.16. To prevent random behaviour and API breakage the timevals are checked and invalid timevals sanitized in a simliar way as the pre 2.6.16 code did. Invalid timevals are reported with a per boot limited number of kernel messages so applications which use this misfeature can be corrected. After a grace period of one year the sanitizing should be replaced by a correct validation check. This is also documented in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt The validation and sanitizing is done inside do_setitimer so all callers (sys_setitimer, compat_sys_setitimer, osf_setitimer) are catched.

2006-03-24[PATCH] cpuset memory spread basic implementationPaul Jackson1-2/+74
This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches (such as inode caches). The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing. All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA mempolicy. There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'. If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is running. If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is running. The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page' or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation. The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation. This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven. A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

2006-03-23[PATCH] PCI: Provide a boot parameter to disable MSIMatthew Wilcox1-0/+4
Several drivers are starting to grow options to disable MSI. However, it's often a host chipset issue, not something which individual drivers should handle. So we add the pci=nomsi kernel parameter to allow the user to disable MSI modes for systems we haven't added to the quirk list yet.

2006-03-23[PATCH] pause_on_oops command line optionAndrew Morton1-0/+5
Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs. If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option. It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed. The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that architectures other than x86 will find it useful.

2006-03-23[PATCH] swsusp: userland interfaceRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+149
This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp. The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.  Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which sectors of the resume partition are available to them. The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp. The interface documentation is included in the patch. The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been requested. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2006-03-21V4L/DVB (3504): Medion 7134: Autodetect second bridge chipMichael Krufky1-0/+1
The device, Medion 7134, has two saa7134 chips on it, but only one of them is functional in the current saa7134 driver. This patch adds autodetection for the second, unsupported saa7134 chip, as SAA7134_BOARD_MD7134_BRIDGE_2, and displays a message to the user (in dmesg) indicating that the second chip isn't yet functional. This is useful for users, since two instances of the saa7134 driver will spawn. This patch will prevent confusion by warning the user that only one of the chips on the board are functional. There are other versions of the SAA7134_BOARD_MD7134 with only a single saa7134 bridge/decoder -- those devices will not be affected by this patch. Only devices containing the second chip will display the warning. Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky <mkrufky@linuxtv.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
2006-03-21V4L/DVB (3446): Saa7134: add support for AVerMedia A169 Dual Analog tuner cardRickard Osser1-0/+2
- Added support for AVerMedia A169 Dual Analog tuner card (dual saa7134 decoders - only 1 working right now) - Added autodetection for both parts of the card. It shows up like 2 cards, B1 and B - Enabled tuner B1, SVIDEO on B1 and composite1 through SVIDEO, FIXME: B is more or less dead at this point and I suspect the FM-radio is on the B part of the board Signed-off-by: Rickard Osser <ricky@osser.se> Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky <mkrufky@linuxtv.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>

2006-03-20[TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscaleRick Jones1-0/+7
Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated. Some ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of the TCP header and would get confused. Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default now. There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old stacks Signed-off-by: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
