Profiling has shown that sdma_lock is proving a bottleneck for performance. The situations include: - RDMA reads when krcvqs > 1 - post sends from multiple threads For RDMA read the current global qib_wq mechanism runs on all CPUs and contends for the sdma_lock when multiple RMDA read requests are fielded on differenct CPUs. For post sends, the direct call to qib_do_send() from multiple threads causes the contention. Since the sdma mechanism is per port, this fix converts the existing workqueue to a per port single thread workqueue to reduce the lock contention in the RDMA read case, and for any other case where the QP is scheduled via the workqueue mechanism from more than 1 CPU. For the post send case, This patch modifies the post send code to test for a non empty sdma engine. If the sdma is not idle the (now single thread) workqueue will be used to trigger the send engine instead of the direct call to qib_do_send().

Profiling indicates that MR validation locking is expensive. The MR table is largely read-only and is a suitable candidate for RCU locking. The patch uses RCU locking during validation to eliminate one lock/unlock during that validation.

A timing issue can occur where qib_mr_dereg can return -EBUSY if the MR use count is not zero. This can occur if the MR is de-registered while RDMA read response packets are being progressed from the SDMA ring. The suspicion is that the peer sent an RDMA read request, which has already been copied across to the peer. The peer sees the completion of his request and then communicates to the responder that the MR is not needed any longer. The responder tries to de-register the MR, catching some responses remaining in the SDMA ring holding the MR use count. The code now uses a get/put paradigm to track MR use counts and coordinates with the MR de-registration process using a completion when the count has reached zero. A timeout on the delay is in place to catch other EBUSY issues. The reference count protocol is as follows: - The return to the user counts as 1 - A reference from the lk_table or the qib_ibdev counts as 1. - Transient I/O operations increase/decrease as necessary A lot of code duplication has been folded into the new routines init_qib_mregion() and deinit_qib_mregion(). Additionally, explicit initialization of fields to zero is now handled by kzalloc(). Also, duplicated code 'while.*num_sge' that decrements reference counts have been consolidated in qib_put_ss().

An MR reference leak exists when handling UC RDMA writes with immediate data because we manipulate the reference counts as if the operation had been a send. This patch moves the last_imm label so that the RDMA write operations with immediate data converge at the cq building code. The copy/mr deref code is now done correctly prior to the branch to last_imm.

The acpi_pad driver can get stuck in destroy_power_saving_task() waiting for kthread_stop() to stop a power_saving thread. The problem is that the isolated_cpus_lock mutex is owned when destroy_power_saving_task() calls kthread_stop(), which waits for a power_saving thread to end, and the power_saving thread tries to acquire the isolated_cpus_lock when it calls round_robin_cpu(). This patch fixes the issue by making round_robin_cpu() use its own mutex. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42981 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stuart Hayes <Stuart_Hayes@Dell.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

In reviewing Kay's fix up patch: "printk: Have printk() never buffer its data", I found two if statements that could be combined and optimized. Put together the two 'cont.len && cont.owner == current' if statements into a single one, and check if we need to call cont_add(). This also removes the unneeded double cont_flush() calls.

Continuation lines are buffered internally, intended to merge the chunked printk()s into a single record, and to isolate potentially racy continuation users from usual terminated line users. This though, has the effect that partial lines are not printed to the console in the moment they are emitted. In case the kernel crashes in the meantime, the potentially interesting printed information would never reach the consoles. Here we share the continuation buffer with the console copy logic, and partial lines are always immediately flushed to the available consoles. They are still buffered internally to improve the readability and integrity of the messages and minimize the amount of needed record headers to store.

Commit f948501b ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working. ->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely. The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did nothing. This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable too.

As I was adding code that affects all archs, I started testing function tracer against PPC64 and found that it currently locks up with 3.4 kernel. I figured it was due to tracing a function that shouldn't be, so I went through the following process to bisect to find the culprit: cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions > t num=`wc -l t` sed -ne "1,${num}p" t > t1 let num=num+1 sed -ne "${num},$p" t > t2 cat t1 > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo function /debug/tracing/current_tracer <failed? bisect t1, if not bisect t2> It finally came down to this function: restore_interrupts() I'm not sure why this locks up the system. It just seems to prevent scheduling from occurring. Interrupts seem to still work, as I can ping the box. But all user processes freeze. When restore_interrupts() is not traced, function tracing works fine.

In entry_64.S version of ret_from_except_lite, you'll notice that in the !preempt case, after we've checked MSR_PR we test for any TIF flag in _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide whether to go to do_work or not. However, in the preempt case, we do a convoluted trick to test SIGPENDING only if PR was set and always test NEED_RESCHED ... but we forget to test any other bit of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK !!! So that means that with preempt, we completely fail to test for things like single step, syscall tracing, etc... This should be fixed as the following path: - Test PR. If not set, go to resume_kernel, else continue. - If go resume_kernel, to do that original do_work. - If else, then always test for _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide to do that original user_work, else restore directly.

In commit 7a879824 we added a wrapper for the WDIOC_GETSTATUS ioctl call. The code results however in a different behaviour: it returns an error if the driver doesn't support the status operation. This is not according to the API that says that when we don't support the status operation, that we just should return a 0 value. Only when the device isn't there anymore, we should return an error.
