Recent U-Boot commit 5ccd29c3679b3669b0bde5c501c1aa0f325a7acb caused the "cpu-release-addr" device tree property to contain the physical RAM location that secondary cores were spinning at. Previously, the "cpu-release-addr" property contained a value referencing the boot page translation address range of 0xfffffxxx, which then indirectly accessed RAM. The "cpu-release-addr" is currently ioremapped and the secondary cores kicked. However, due to the recent change in "cpu-release-addr", it sometimes points to a memory location in low memory that cannot be ioremapped. For example on a P2020-based board with 512MB of RAM the following error occurs on bootup: <...> mpic: requesting IPIs ... __ioremap(): phys addr 0x1ffff000 is RAM lr c05df9a0 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000014 Faulting instruction address: 0xc05df9b0 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=2 P2020 RDB Modules linked in: <... eventual kernel panic> Adding logic to conditionally ioremap or access memory directly resolves the issue.

Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had no active vmap regions within them. Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so as to avoid a large build up of them). Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the previous bug fix.

RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU walking). While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier iteration. These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS changes into their local tree).

Commit 221af7f8 ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint, but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a bit more careful. In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup' stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state that we're just setting up. So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()', which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment. This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu environment.

Few weeks back, Shaohua Li had posted similar patch. I am reposting it with more test results. This patch does two things. - Do not idle on async queues. - It also changes the write queue depth CFQ drives (cfq_may_dispatch()). Currently, we seem to driving queue depth of 1 always for WRITES. This is true even if there is only one write queue in the system and all the logic of infinite queue depth in case of single busy queue as well as slowly increasing queue depth based on last delayed sync request does not seem to be kicking in at all. This patch will allow deeper WRITE queue depths (subjected to the other WRITE queue depth contstraints like cfq_quantum and last delayed sync request). Shaohua Li had reported getting more out of his SSD. For me, I have got one Lun exported from an HP EVA and when pure buffered writes are on, I can get more out of the system. Following are test results of pure buffered writes (with end_fsync=1) with vanilla and patched kernel. These results are average of 3 sets of run with increasing number of threads. AVERAGE[bufwfs][vanilla] ------- job Set NR ReadBW(KB/s) MaxClat(us) WriteBW(KB/s) MaxClat(us) --- --- -- ------------ ----------- ------------- ----------- bufwfs 3 1 0 0 95349 474141 bufwfs 3 2 0 0 100282 806926 bufwfs 3 4 0 0 109989 2.7301e+06 bufwfs 3 8 0 0 116642 3762231 bufwfs 3 16 0 0 118230 6902970 AVERAGE[bufwfs] [patched kernel] ------- bufwfs 3 1 0 0 270722 404352 bufwfs 3 2 0 0 206770 1.06552e+06 bufwfs 3 4 0 0 195277 1.62283e+06 bufwfs 3 8 0 0 260960 2.62979e+06 bufwfs 3 16 0 0 299260 1.70731e+06 I also ran buffered writes along with some sequential reads and some buffered reads going on in the system on a SATA disk because the potential risk could be that we should not be driving queue depth higher in presence of sync IO going to keep the max clat low. With some random and sequential reads going on in the system on one SATA disk I did not see any significant increase in max clat. So it looks like other WRITE queue depth control logic is doing its job. Here are the results.

The spi_sh_msiof.c driver presently misconfigures REDG and TEDG. TEDG==0 outputs data at the **rising edge** of the clock and REDG==0 samples data at the **falling edge** of the clock. Therefore for SPI, TEDG must be equal to REDG, otherwise the last byte received is not sampled in SPI mode 3. This brings the driver in line with the SH7723 HW Reference Manual settings documented in Figures 20.20 and 20.21 ("SPI Clock and data timing").

No other driver does anything remotely like this that I know of except for the tty drivers, and I can't see any reason for random/urandom to do it. In fact, it's a (trivial, harmless) timing information leak. And obviously, it generates power- and flash-cycle wasting I/O, especially if combined with something like hwrngd. Also, it breaks ubifs's expectations. Signed-off-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

DBDMA descriptors need to be located at 32-byte aligned addresses; however kmalloc in conjunction with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLUB enabled doesn't deliver any. The dbdma code works around that by allocating a larger area and realigning the start address within it. When freeing a channel however this adjustment is not taken into account which results in an oops: Kernel bug detected[#1]: [...] Call Trace: [<80186010>] cache_free_debugcheck+0x284/0x318 [<801869d8>] kfree+0xe8/0x2a0 [<8010b31c>] au1xxx_dbdma_chan_free+0x2c/0x7c [<80388dc8>] au1x_pcm_dbdma_free+0x34/0x4c [<80388fa8>] au1xpsc_pcm_close+0x28/0x38 [<80383cb8>] soc_codec_close+0x14c/0x1cc [<8036dbb4>] snd_pcm_release_substream+0x60/0xac [<8036dc40>] snd_pcm_release+0x40/0xa0 [<8018c7a8>] __fput+0x11c/0x228 [<80188f60>] filp_close+0x7c/0x98 [<80189018>] sys_close+0x9c/0xe4 [<801022a0>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c Fix this by recording the address delivered by kmalloc() and using it as parameter to kfree(). This fix is only necessary with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB enabled; non-debug SLAB, SLUB do return nicely aligned addresses, debug-enabled SLUB currently panics early in the boot process.

ince gfs2 writes the rindex file a block at a time, and releases the exclusive lock after each block, it is possible that another process will grab the lock in the middle of the write. Since rindex entries are not an even divisor of blocks, that other process may see partial entries. On grows, this is fine. The process can simply ignore the the partial entires. Previously, the code withdrew when it saw partial entries. Now it simply ignores them. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
