This patch takes the CTL_UNNUMBERD concept from NFS and makes it available to
all new sysctl users.
At the same time the sysctl binary interface maintenance documentation is
updated to mention and to describe what is needed to successfully maintain the
sysctl binary interface.

Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary
sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel
will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address
the sysctl maintenance issues.
The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate
sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur. The proc interface
to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated.
By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a
procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the
binary sysctl interface. Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary
sysctl value when not needed.
I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single
sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry. So
this change in behavior should not affect anything.
I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little
disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

Add a swsusp debugging mode. This does everything that's needed for a suspend
except for actually suspending. So we can look in the log messages and work
out a) what code is being slow and b) which drivers are misbehaving.
(1)
# echo testproc > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state
This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, wait for 5
seconds and then thaw the processes and the CPU.
(2)
# echo test > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state

printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers
which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency.
Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to
permit more flexibility.
This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting
and is perhaps poorly named.

The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim
path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten
(say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer.
The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but
it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate
priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is
no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we
reclaim from.
Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and
setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress
artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are,
in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0).
This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly.
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>
__zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority
is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive
list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because
zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up
stuck on the active list.
Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as
__zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages.
This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be
possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg,
core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next
level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling
core_initcall are still executing. This breaks the guarantees which the
layered initcalls previously gave us.
IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between
different levels.
Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at
one level to complete before we start processing the next level.

Eliminate more __must_check madness.
The return code from device_for_each_child() depends on the values
which the helper function returns. If the helper function always
returns zero, it's utterly pointless to check the return code from
device_for_each_child().
The only code which knows if the return value should be checked is
the caller itself, so forcing the return code to always be checked
is silly. Hence, remove the __must_check annotation.

This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment
to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is
longer.
On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts. See attached plots,
which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue
for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO. This burstiness
causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short
queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult.
Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small

Problem:
New Dell PowerEdge servers have 2 embedded ethernet ports, which are
labeled NIC1 and NIC2 on the chassis, in the BIOS setup screens, and
in the printed documentation. Assuming no other add-in ethernet ports
in the system, Linux 2.4 kernels name these eth0 and eth1
respectively. Many people have come to expect this naming. Linux 2.6
kernels name these eth1 and eth0 respectively (backwards from
expectations). I also have reports that various Sun and HP servers
have similar behavior.
Root cause:
Linux 2.4 kernels walk the pci_devices list, which happens to be
sorted in breadth-first order (or pcbios_find_device order on i386,
which most often is breadth-first also). 2.6 kernels have both the
pci_devices list and the pci_bus_type.klist_devices list, the latter
is what is walked at driver load time to match the pci_id tables; this
klist happens to be in depth-first order.
On systems where, for physical routing reasons, NIC1 appears on a
lower bus number than NIC2, but NIC2's bridge is discovered first in
the depth-first ordering, NIC2 will be discovered before NIC1. If the
list were sorted breadth-first, NIC1 would be discovered before NIC2.
A PowerEdge 1955 system has the following topology which easily
exhibits the difference between depth-first and breadth-first device
lists.
-[0000:00]-+-00.0 Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub
+-02.0-[0000:03-08]--+-00.0-[0000:04-07]--+-00.0-[0000:05-06]----00.0-[0000:06]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC2, 2.4 kernel name eth1, 2.6 kernel name eth0)
+-1c.0-[0000:01-02]----00.0-[0000:02]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC1, 2.4 kernel name eth0, 2.6 kernel name eth1)
Other factors, such as device driver load order and the presence of
PCI slots at various points in the bus hierarchy further complicate
this problem; I'm not trying to solve those here, just restore the
device order, and thus basic behavior, that 2.4 kernels had.
Solution:
The solution can come in multiple steps.
Suggested fix#1: kernel
Patch below optionally sorts the two device lists into breadth-first
ordering to maintain compatibility with 2.4 kernels. It adds two new
command line options:
pci=bfsort
pci=nobfsort
to force the sort order, or not, as you wish. It also adds DMI checks
for the specific Dell systems which exhibit "backwards" ordering, to
make them "right".
Suggested fix#2: udev rules from userland
Many people also have the expectation that embedded NICs are always
discovered before add-in NICs (which this patch does not try to do).
Using the PCI IRQ Routing Table provided by system BIOS, it's easy to
determine which PCI devices are embedded, or if add-in, which PCI slot
they're in. I'm working on a tool that would allow udev to name
ethernet devices in ascending embedded, slot 1 .. slot N order,
subsort by PCI bus/dev/fn breadth-first. It'll be possible to use it
independent of udev as well for those distributions that don't use
udev in their installers.
Suggested fix#3: system board routing rules
One can constrain the system board layout to put NIC1 ahead of NIC2
regardless of breadth-first or depth-first discovery order. This adds
a significant level of complexity to board routing, and may not be
possible in all instances (witness the above systems from several
major manufacturers). I don't want to encourage this particular train
of thought too far, at the expense of not doing #1 or #2 above.
Feedback appreciated. Patch tested on a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade
with 2.6.18.
You'll also note I took some liberty and temporarily break the klist
abstraction to simplify and speed up the sort algorithm. I think
that's both safe and appropriate in this instance.

When IO error happens on metadata buffer, buffer is freed from memory and
later fsync() is called, filesystems like ext2 fail to report EIO. We
solve the problem by introducing a pointer to associated address space into
the buffer_head. When a buffer is removed from a list of metadata buffers
associated with an address space, IO error is transferred from the buffer to
the address space, so that fsync can later report it.

It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an
answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request
has to be 'dropped', to be retried later. That error status is not currently
propagated back.
So:
Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private
protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code.
Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply
when this error comes back.
Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of
rpc_drop_reply.

Unify the following functions:
acpi_ec_poll_read()
acpi_ec_poll_write()
acpi_ec_poll_query()
acpi_ec_intr_read()
acpi_ec_intr_write()
acpi_ec_intr_query()
into:
acpi_ec_poll_transaction()
acpi_ec_intr_transaction()
These new functions take as arguments an ACPI EC command, a few bytes
to write to the EC data register and a buffer for a few bytes to read
from the EC data register. The old _read(), _write(), _query() are
just special cases of these functions.
Then unified the code in acpi_ec_poll_transaction() and
acpi_ec_intr_transaction() a little more. Both functions are now just
wrappers around the new acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked() function. The
latter contains the EC access logic, the two original
function now just do their special way of locking and call the the
new function for the actual work.
This saves a lot of very similar code. The primary reason for doing
this, however, is that my driver for MSI 270 laptops needs to issue
some non-standard EC commands in a safe way. Due to this I added a new
exported function similar to ec_write()/ec_write() which is called
ec_transaction() and is essentially just a wrapper around
acpi_ec_{poll,intr}_transaction().

Currently when an IPSec policy rule doesn't specify a security
context, it is assumed to be "unlabeled" by SELinux, and so
the IPSec policy rule fails to match to a flow that it would
otherwise match to, unless one has explicitly added an SELinux
policy rule allowing the flow to "polmatch" to the "unlabeled"
IPSec policy rules. In the absence of such an explicitly added
SELinux policy rule, the IPSec policy rule fails to match and
so the packet(s) flow in clear text without the otherwise applicable
xfrm(s) applied.
The above SELinux behavior violates the SELinux security notion of
"deny by default" which should actually translate to "encrypt by
default" in the above case.
This was first reported by Evgeniy Polyakov and the way James Morris
was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a
confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the
appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec.
With this patch applied, SELinux "polmatching" of flows Vs. IPSec
policy rules will only come into play when there's a explicit context
specified for the IPSec policy rule (which also means there's corresponding
SELinux policy allowing appropriate domains/flows to polmatch to this context).
Secondly, when a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the
security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return errors other than access denied,
such as -EINVAL. We were not handling that correctly, and in fact
inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to
xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not
associated with an xfrm policy.
The solution for this is to first ensure that errno values are
correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains
from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly.
Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver
fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow
cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which
indicates that the packet can pass freely). This also forces any future
lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux)
for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the
flow cache entry).
This patch: Fix the selinux side of things.
This makes sure SELinux polmatching of flow contexts to IPSec policy
rules comes into play only when an explicit context is associated
with the IPSec policy rule.
Also, this no longer defaults the context of a socket policy to
the context of the socket since the "no explicit context" case
is now handled properly.

The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go
by:
(1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root.
(2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time.
(3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves
inwards.
This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids
iterating through the dentry_unused list.
Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*()
functions added by this patch. This is because:
(1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not
permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may
it remove aliases from inodes;
(2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted;
and
(3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS
can reach it.
Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries
from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a
time.
We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly
and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput().
A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into
shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function. Apart from not needing to unlock
things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches.
In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use
has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.
This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().
We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.
This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.
Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism
with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait
is:
int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents,
int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize);
The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the
latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting
for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event,
or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system
call will act exactly like epoll_wait. For the POSIX definition of
pselect, information is available here:

commit fe1668ae5b causes kernel to oops with
libhugetlbfs test suite. The problem is that hugetlb pages can be shared
by multiple mappings. Multiple threads can fight over page->lru in the
unmap path and bad things happen. We now serialize __unmap_hugepage_range
to void concurrent linked list manipulation. Such serialization is also
needed for shared page table page on hugetlb area. This patch will fixed
the bug and also serve as a prepatch for shared page table.

This annotation makes it possible to assign a subclass on lock init. This
annotation is meant to reduce the _nested() annotations by assigning a
default subclass.
One could do without this annotation and rely on lockdep_set_class()
exclusively, but that would require a manual stack of struct lock_class_key
objects.

This patch moves code out of fs/xattr.c:listxattr into a new function -
vfs_listxattr. The code for vfs_listxattr was originally submitted by Bill
Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> to Unionfs.
Sorry about that. The reason for this submission is to make the
listxattr code in fs/xattr.c a little cleaner (as well as to clean up
some code in Unionfs.)
Currently, Unionfs has vfs_listxattr defined in its code. I think
that's very ugly, and I'd like to see it (re)moved. The logical place
to put it, is along side of all the other vfs_*xattr functions.
Overall, I think this patch is benefitial for both kernel.org kernel and
Unionfs.

There is some confusion about the meaning of 'bufsz' for a sunrpc server.
In some cases it is the largest message that can be sent or received. In
other cases it is the largest 'payload' that can be included in a NFS
message.
In either case, it is not possible for both the request and the reply to be
this large. One of the request or reply may only be one page long, which
fits nicely with NFS.
So we remove 'bufsz' and replace it with two numbers: 'max_payload' and
'max_mesg'. Max_payload is the size that the server requests. It is used
by the server to check the max size allowed on a particular connection:
depending on the protocol a lower limit might be used.
max_mesg is the largest single message that can be sent or received. It is
calculated as the max_payload, rounded up to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, and
with PAGE_SIZE added to overhead. Only one of the request and reply may be
this size. The other must be at most one page.

Add a way for a no_page() handler to request a retry of the faulting
instruction. It goes back to userland on page faults and just tries again
in get_user_pages(). I added a cond_resched() in the loop in that later
case.
The problem I have with signal and spufs is an actual bug affecting apps and I
don't see other ways of fixing it.
In addition, we are having issues with infiniband and 64k pages (related to
the way the hypervisor deals with some HV cards) that will require us to muck
around with the MMU from within the IB driver's no_page() (it's a pSeries
specific driver) and return to the caller the same way using NOPAGE_REFAULT.
And to add to this, the graphics folks have been following a new approach of
memory management that involves transparently swapping objects between video
ram and main meory. To do that, they need installing PTEs from a no_page()
handler as well and that also requires returning with NOPAGE_REFAULT.
(For the later, they are currently using io_remap_pfn_range to install one PTE
from no_page() which is a bit racy, we need to add a check for the PTE having
already been installed afer taking the lock, but that's ok, they are only at
the proof-of-concept stage. I'll send a patch adding a "clean" function to do
that, we can use that from spufs too and get rid of the sparsemem hacks we do
to create struct page for SPEs. Basically, that provides a generic solution
for being able to have no_page() map hardware devices, which is something that
I think sound driver folks have been asking for some time too).
All of these things depend on having the NOPAGE_REFAULT exit path from
no_page() handlers.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

Kill a hard-to-calculate 'rsinterval' boot parameter and per-cpu
rcu_data.last_rs_qlen. Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled,
which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the
last rcu_start_batch().
Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks
from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark
and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again
after we gone through a quiescent state.
On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again
when another CPU detects overflow of the queue.

Currently the init_srcu_struct() routine has no way to report out-of-memory

allocation fails.
The patch also makes srcu_init_notifier_head() report a BUG if a notifier
head can't be initialized. Perhaps it should return -ENOMEM instead, but
in the most likely cases where this might occur I don't think any recovery
is possible. Notifier chains generally are not created dynamically.

This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU
(Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel. An
SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must
be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep.
The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU
mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has
extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing. On
the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain
head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be
deallocated).
SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very
frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom. The proposed
"task notifier" scheme qualifies, as may some of the network notifiers.

Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side
critical sections. SRCU is as follows:
o Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each
srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods. This is
critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking
reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other
subsystems.
o The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(),
and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct.
o The SRCU primitives must be called from process context.
o srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to
the matching srcu_read_unlock(). Realtime RCU avoids the
need for this by storing the state in the task struct,
but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through
multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct
would therefore require either arbitrary space in the
task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting. So I
kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller.
Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu()
while in an SRCU read-side critical section.
o There is no call_srcu(). It would not be hard to implement
one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system.
(Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does
-not- permit readers to sleep!!!) So, if you want it,
please tell me why...

It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture
specific details of msi. So I have moved the resposibility of constructing
the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific
functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq.
For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work. For
architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate
platform code.
With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this
actually takes less code.
The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h
to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h

Currently msi.c is doing sanity checks that make certain before an irq is

By adding irq_has_action I can perform the test is a generic way, instead of
relying on a msi specific data structure.
By performing the core check in dynamic_irq_cleanup I ensure every user of
dynamic irqs has a test present and we don't free resources that are in use.
In msi.c this allows me to kill the attrib.state member of msi_desc and all of
the assciated code to maintain it.
To keep from freeing data structures when irq cleanup code is called to soon
changing dyanamic_irq_cleanup is insufficient because there are msi specific
data structures that are also not safe to free.

This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for
use by drivers. Several other functions are implemented as helpers for
arch specific irq_chip handlers.
The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged.
However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other
places in the kernel. Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19
Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be
generalized to work there.
I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a
chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less
interesting.
However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch
specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of
how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

With the msi support comes a new concept in irq handling, irqs that are
created dynamically at run time.
Currently the msi code allocates irqs backwards. First it allocates a
platform dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it
figures out from the vector which irq you are on.
This msi backwards allocator suffers from two basic problems. The allocator
suffers because it is trying to do something that is architecture specific in
a generic way making it brittle, inflexible, and tied to tightly to the
architecture implementation. The alloctor also suffers from it's very
backwards nature as it has tied things together that should have no
dependencies.
To solve the basic dynamic irq allocation problem two new architecture
specific functions are added: create_irq and destroy_irq.
create_irq takes no input and returns an unused irq number, that won't be
reused until it is returned to the free poll with destroy_irq. The irq then
can be used for any purpose although the only initial consumer is the msi
code.
destroy_irq takes an irq number allocated with create_irq and returns it to
the free pool.
Making this functionality per architecture increases the simplicity of the irq
allocation code and increases it's flexibility.
dynamic_irq_init() and dynamic_irq_cleanup() are added to automate the
irq_desc initializtion that should happen for dynamic irqs.

The current msi_ops are short sighted in a number of ways, this patch attempts
to fix the glaring deficiences.
- Report in msi_ops if a 64bit address is needed in the msi message, so we
can fail 32bit only msi structures.
- Send and receive a full struct msi_msg in both setup and target. This is
a little cleaner and allows for architectures that need to modify the data
to retarget the msi interrupt to a different cpu.
- In target pass in the full cpu mask instead of just the first cpu in case
we can make use of the full cpu mask.
- Operate in terms of irqs and not vectors, currently there is still a 1-1
relationship but on architectures other than ia64 I expect this will change.

Currently move_native_irq disables and renables the irq we are migrating to
ensure we don't take that irq when we are actually doing the migration
operation. Disabling the irq needs to happen but sometimes doing the work is
move_native_irq is too late.
On x86 with ioapics the irq move sequences needs to be:
edge_triggered:
mask irq.
move irq.
unmask irq.
ack irq.
level_triggered:
mask irq.
ack irq.
move irq.
unmask irq.
We can easily perform the edge triggered sequence, with the current defintion
of move_native_irq. However the level triggered case does not map well. For
that I have added move_masked_irq, to allow me to disable the irqs around both
the ack and the move.
Q: Why have we not seen this problem earlier?
A: The only symptom I have been able to reproduce is that if we change
the vector before acknowleding an irq the wrong irq is acknowledged.
Since we currently are not reprogramming the irq vector during
migration no problems show up.
We have to mask the irq before we acknowledge the irq or else we could
hit a window where an irq is asserted just before we acknowledge it.
Edge triggered irqs do not have this problem because acknowledgements
do not propogate in the same way.

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove maintenances problems caused by
the irq infrastructure. The two big issues I address are an artificially
small cap on the number of irqs, and that MSI assumes vector == irq. My
primary focus is on x86_64 but I have touched other architectures where
necessary to keep them from breaking.
- To increase the number of irqs I modify the code to look at the (cpu,
vector) pair instead of just looking at the vector.
With a large number of irqs available systems with a large irq count no
longer need to compress their irq numbers to fit. Removing a lot of brittle
special cases.
For acpi guys the result is that irq == gsi.
- Addressing the fact that MSI assumes irq == vector takes a few more
patches. But suffice it to say when I am done none of the generic irq code
even knows what a vector is.
In quick testing on a large Unisys x86_64 machine we stumbled over at least
one driver that assumed that NR_IRQS could always fit into an 8 bit number.
This driver is clearly buggy today. But this has become a class of bugs that
it is now much easier to hit.
This patch:
This is a minor space optimization. In practice I don't think this has any
affect because of our alignment constraints and the other fields but there is
not point in chewing up an uncessary word and since we already read the flag
field this should improve the cache hit ratio of the irq handler.

When we send a GRANTED_MSG call, we current copy the NLM cookie provided in
the original LOCK call - because in 1996, some broken clients seemed to rely
on this bug. However, this means the cookies are not unique, so that when the
client's GRANTED_RES message comes back, we cannot simply match it based on
the cookie, but have to use the client's IP address in addition. Which breaks
when you have a multi-homed NFS client.
The X/Open spec explicitly mentions that clients should not expect the same
cookie; so one may hope that any clients that were broken in 1996 have either

Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on
the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache
hashtable on every call. This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication
over TCP.
Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e. recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480 regular files
in 10841 directories) on the server. That tree is small enough to fill in the
server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved. This setup gives a sustained
call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec before being CPU-bound on the server.
Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each
CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%. This patch drops both contribution
into the profile noise.
Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most
workloads. The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so
there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash. Because the kernel measured
contained the bug fixed in commit
commit 1f1e030bf7
and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64
entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup().
With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of
performance improvement. This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a
deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

struct svc_rqst contains two such arrays. However the there are never more

The two arrays are for the pages holding the request, and the pages holding
the reply. Instead of two arrays, we can simply keep an index into where the
first reply page is.
This patch also removes a number of small inline functions that probably
server to obscure what is going on rather than clarify it, and opencode the

Also remove the 'rq_restailpage' variable as it is *always* 0. i.e. if the

as the head.

Add QUICC Engine (QE) configuration, header files, and
QE management and library code that are used by QE devices
drivers.
Includes Leo's modifications up to, and including, the
platform_device to of_device adaptation:
"The series of patches add generic QE infrastructure called
qe_lib, and MPC8360EMDS board support. Qe_lib is used by
QE device drivers such as ucc_geth driver.
This version updates QE interrupt controller to use new irq
mapping mechanism, addresses all the comments received with
last submission and includes some style fixes.
v2: Change to use device tree for BCSR and MURAM;
Remove I/O port interrupt handling code as it is not generic
enough.
v3: Address comments from Kumar; Update definition of several
device tree nodes; Copyright style change."
In addition, the following changes have been made:
o removed typedefs
o uint -> u32 conversions
o removed following defines:
QE_SIZEOF_BD, BD_BUFFER_ARG, BD_BUFFER_CLEAR, BD_BUFFER,
BD_STATUS_AND_LENGTH_SET, BD_STATUS_AND_LENGTH, and BD_BUFFER_SET
because they hid sizeof/in_be32/out_be32 operations from the reader.
o fixed qe_snums_init() serial num assignment to use a const array
o made CONFIG_UCC_FAST select UCC_SLOW
o reduced NR_QE_IC_INTS from 128 to 64
o remove _IO_BASE, etc. defines (not used)
o removed irrelevant comments, added others to resemble removed BD_ defines
o realigned struct definitions in headers
o various other style fixes including things like pinMask -> pin_mask
o fixed a ton of whitespace issues
o marked ioregs as __be32/__be16
o removed platform_device code and redundant get_qe_base()
o removed redundant comments
o added cpu_relax() to qe_reset
o uncasted all get_property() assignments
o eliminated unneeded casts
o eliminated immrbar_phys_to_virt (not used)
