async_syndrome_val check the P and Q blocks used for RAID6 calculations. With DDF raid6, some of the data blocks might be NULL, so this needs to be handled in the same way that async_gen_syndrome handles it. As async_syndrome_val calls async_xor, also enhance async_xor to detect and skip NULL blocks in the list. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

md/raid6 passes a list of 'struct page *' to the async_tx routines, which then either DMA map them for offload, or take the page_address for CPU based calculations. For RAID6 we sometime leave 'blanks' in the list of pages. For CPU based calcs, we want to treat theses as a page of zeros. For offloaded calculations, we simply don't pass a page to the hardware. Currently the 'blanks' are encoded as a pointer to raid6_empty_zero_page. This is a 4096 byte memory region, not a 'struct page'. This is mostly handled correctly but is rather ugly. So change the code to pass and expect a NULL pointer for the blanks. When taking page_address of a page, we need to check for a NULL and in that case use raid6_empty_zero_page.

When a raid5 (or raid6) array is being reshaped to have fewer devices, conf->raid_disks is the latter and hence smaller number of devices. However sometimes we want to use a number which is the total number of currently required devices - the larger of the 'old' and 'new' sizes. Before we implemented reducing the number of devices, this was always 'new' i.e. ->raid_disks. Now we need max(raid_disks, previous_raid_disks) in those places. This particularly affects assembling an array that was shutdown while in the middle of a reshape to fewer devices. md.c needs a similar fix when interpreting the md metadata.

The percpu conversion allowed a straightforward handoff of stripe processing to the async subsytem that initially showed some modest gains (+4%). However, this model is too simplistic and leads to stripes bouncing between raid5d and the async thread pool for every invocation of handle_stripe(). As reported by Holger this can fall into a pathological situation severely impacting throughput (6x performance loss). By downleveling the parallelism to raid_run_ops the pathological stripe_head bouncing is eliminated. This version still exhibits an average 11% throughput loss for: mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-q] -n 16 -l 6 echo 1024 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048 ...but the results are at least stable and can be used as a base for further multicore experimentation.

Both raid1 and raid10 create a mempool during startup. If the 'alloc' function for this mempool fails, unplug_slaves is called. If that happens when the pool is being initialised, unplug_slaves will try to use the 'conf' structure that isn't filled in yet, and badness will happen. So ensure that unplug_slaves doesn't get called unless we know that the conf structure if fully initialised. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

During 'check' of a raid1 or raid10 it is possible for the management thread to spend a lot of time running 'memcmp' on blocks from different devices, so make sure the thread has a chance to schedule. raid5d already has a cond_resched (in process_stripe).

The general one handles NULL, the static obsolescent (CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA) one in module.c doesn't; Eric's commit 720eba31 assumed it did, and various frobbings since then kept that assumption. All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively does the same as free_init is only goto if we fail percpu_modalloc().

Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing (e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures. This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel parameters.

When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including <linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are not available in the decompression environment. linux/kernel.h brings at least: extern int console_printk[]; extern const char hex_asc[]; which causes errors at link-time as they are not available when compiling the pre-boot environement. There are also a few others: arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `valid_user_regs': arch/arm/include/asm/ptrace.h:158: undefined reference to `elf_hwcap' arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `console_silent': include/linux/kernel.h:292: undefined reference to `console_printk' arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `console_verbose': include/linux/kernel.h:297: undefined reference to `console_printk' arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `pack_hex_byte': include/linux/kernel.h:360: undefined reference to `hex_asc' arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `hweight_long': include/linux/bitops.h:45: undefined reference to `hweight32' arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `__cmpxchg_local_generic': include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:21: undefined reference to `wrong_size_cmpxchg' include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:42: undefined reference to `wrong_size_cmpxchg' arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `__xchg': arch/arm/include/asm/system.h:309: undefined reference to `__bad_xchg' However, those files apparently use nothing from <linux/kernel.h>, all they need is the declaration of types such as u32 or u64, so <linux/types.h> should be enough Signed-off-by: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: "H.

See the _rcu_barrier() implementation which explains why extra precausion is needed. The patch adds a comment about rcu_barrier() and as a precausion calls rcu_barrier().
