      [PATCH] io-accounting: report in procfs · aba76fdb
      Andrew Morton authored
      Add a simple /proc/pid/io to show the IO accounting fields.
      
      Maybe this shouldn't be merged in mainline - the preferred reporting channel
      is taskstats.  But given the poor state of our userspace support for
      taskstats, this is useful for developer-testing, at least.  And it improves
      the changes that the procps developers will wire it up into top(1).  Opinions
      are sought.
      
      The patch also wires up the existing IO-accounting fields.
      
      It's a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if process A reads process B's
      /proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of those 64-bit counters, process
      A could see an intermediate result.

      [PATCH] io-accounting: write accounting · 55e829af
      Andrew Morton authored
      Accounting writes is fairly simple: whenever a process flips a page from clean
      to dirty, we accuse it of having caused a write to underlying storage of
      PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes.
      
      This may overestimate the amount of writing: the page-dirtying may cause only
      one buffer_head's worth of writeout.  Fixing that is possible, but probably a
      bit messy and isn't obviously important.

      [PATCH] io-accounting: core statistics · 7c3ab738
      Andrew Morton authored
      The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful.  It simply counts the
      number of bytes passed into read() and write().  So if a process reads 1MB
      from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,
      which is wrong.
      
      (David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:
      
        For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very
        useful
      
        read_bytes/read_calls  average read request size
        write_bytes/write_calls average write request size
      
        read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing
        write_bytes/write_blocks  ie logical/physical  guess since pdflush writes can
                                                      be missed
      
        I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache
        problems.  And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are
        dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache
        contention.
      
        I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing
        efficient IO.  Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high
        IO commands).
      
      This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate.  We account
      for three things:
      
      reads:
      
        attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause
        to be fetched from the storage layer.  Done at the submit_bio() level, so it
        is accurate for block-backed filesystems.  I also attempt to wire up NFS and
        CIFS.
      
      writes:
      
        attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent
        to the storage layer.  This is done at page-dirtying time.
      
        The big inaccuracy here is truncate.  If a process writes 1MB to a file
        and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout.  But it will
        have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.
      
        So...
      
      cancelled_writes:
      
        account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by
        truncating pagecache.
      
        We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting.  But
        that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative
        amounts of write IO, which is silly.
      
        So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.
      
      Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level.  But
      
      - This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page
        level (would require a new pointer in struct page).
      
      - It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available
        long after that process has exitted.  Which means that we probably cannot
        communicate this info via taskstats.
      
      This patch:
      
      Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to
      manipulate them.

      [PATCH] pdc202xx_new: fix PLL/timing issues · 47694bb8
      Sergei Shtylyov authored
      Fix the CRC errors in the higher UltraDMA modes with the Promise PDC20268
      and newer chips that always occur on non-x86 machines and when there are
      more than 2 adapters on x86 machines.  Fix the overclocking issue for
      PDC20269 and newer chips that occurs when an UltraDMA/133 capable drive is
      connected.  Here's the summary of changes:
      
      - add code to detect the PLL input clock detection and setup it output clock,
        remove the PowerMac hacks;
      
      - replace the macros accessing the indexed regiters with functions, switch to
        using them where appropriate, gather the PIO/MWDMA/UDMA timings into tables;
      
      - rewrite the speedproc() handler to set the drive's transfer mode first, and
        then override the timing registers set by hardware on UltraDMA/133 chips;
      
      - use better criterion for determining higher UltraDMA modes, and add comment
        concerning the doubtful value of the code enabling IORDY/prefetch;
      
      - replace the stupid 'pdcnew_new_' prefixes with mere 'pdcnew_';
      
      - get rid of unneded spaces, parens and type casts, clean up some printk's,
        add some new lines here and there...
      
      This work is loosely based on these former patches by Albert Lee:
      
      [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992442032300
      [2] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992457729382
      [3] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992474205555
      [4] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=111019224802939
      
      Some PLL clock detection code was backported from his pata_pdc2027x driver...
      
      This code has been successfully tested by me on PDC2026[89] chips.
      
      I tried to keep this rework as several patches but it made no sense: [2] was
      largely a modification of the non-working timing override code, [3] by itself
      extended the overclocking issue to the case of non-UltraDMA/133 drives, and
      finally, the cleanup patch based on [1] ended up rejected...

      Add rtc_merge_alarm(), which can be used by rtc drivers to turn a partially
      specified alarm expiry (i.e.  most significant fields set to -1, as with the
      RTC_ALM_SET ioctl()) into a fully specified expiry.
      
      If the most significant specified field is earlier than the current time, the
      least significant unspecified field is incremented.

      [PATCH] spi: stabilize PIO mode transfers on PXA2xx systems · 8d94cc50
      Stephen Street authored
      Stabilize PIO mode transfers against a range of word sizes and FIFO
      thresholds and fixes word size setup/override issues.
      
      1) 16 and 32 bit DMA/PIO transfers broken due to timing differences.
      2) Potential for bad transfer counts due to transfer size assumptions.
      3) Setup function broken is multiple ways.
      4) Per transfer bit_per_word changes break DMA setup in pump_tranfers.
      5) False positive timeout are not errors.
      6) Changes in pxa2xx_spi_chip not effective in calls to setup.
      7) Timeout scaling wrong for PXA255 NSSP.
      8) Driver leaks memory while busy during unloading.
      
      Known issues:
      
      SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled.
      
      Testing:
      
      This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word,
      random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves
      (3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test.  It is robust in PIO mode, using any
      combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which
      internally computes the thresholds).
      
      Much thanks to Ned Forrester for exhaustive reviews, fixes and testing.
      The driver is substantially better for his efforts.

      [PATCH] read_zero_pagealigned() locking fix · 5fcf7bb7
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel
      bugzilla 7645.  Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem,
      but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can
      easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range
      getting there.  It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3.
      
      The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads
      of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly
      affected.  So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of
      BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in
      that case - there's no need to optimize for it.
      
      Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of
      zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there.  And since
      mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that
      than -ENOMEM.

      Randy Dunlap authored
      This driver is an AC97 codec according to its help text.  However, if SOUND is
      disabled, the "select SND_AC97_BUS" still inserts that into the .config file:
      
      #
      # Sound
      #
      # CONFIG_SOUND is not set
      CONFIG_SND_AC97_BUS=m
      
      Even if the config software followed dependency chains on selects, we should
      try to limit usage of "select" to library-type code that is needed (e.g., CRC
      functions) instead of bus-type support.
