Reserve just the minimum of pages needed to process one job. Because we allocate pages from page allocator, we don't need to reserve a large number of pages. The maximum job size is SUB_JOB_SIZE and we calculate the number of reserved pages based on this.

Replace the arbitrary calculation of an initial io struct mempool size with a constant. The code calculated the number of reserved structures based on the request size and used a "magic" multiplication constant of 4. This patch changes it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily. Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose. Note that if there is no memory pressure, we can still allocate an arbitrary number of "struct io" structures. One structure is enough to process the whole request.

This patch changes dm-kcopyd so that it allocates pages from the main page allocator with __GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_NORETRY flags (so that it can fail in case of memory pressure).

Remove the spinlock protecting the pages allocation. The spinlock is only taken on initialization or from single-threaded workqueue. Therefore, the spinlock is useless. The spinlock is taken in kcopyd_get_pages and kcopyd_put_pages. kcopyd_get_pages is only called from run_pages_job, which is only called from process_jobs called from do_work. kcopyd_put_pages is called from client_alloc_pages (which is initialization function) or from run_complete_job. run_complete_job is only called from process_jobs called from do_work. Another spinlock, kc->job_lock is taken each time someone pushes or pops some work for the worker thread. Once we take kc->job_lock, we guarantee that any written memory is visible to the other CPUs.

There's a possible theoretical deadlock in dm-kcopyd because multiple allocations from the same mempool are required to finish a request. Avoid this by preallocating sub jobs. There is a mempool of 512 entries. Each request requires up to 9 entries from the mempool. If we have at least 57 concurrent requests running, the mempool may overflow and mempool allocations may start blocking until another entry is freed to the mempool. Because the same thread is used to free entries to the mempool and allocate entries from the mempool, this may result in a deadlock. This patch changes it so that one mempool entry contains all 9 "struct kcopyd_job" required to fulfill the whole request. The allocation is done only once in dm_kcopyd_copy and no further mempool allocations are done during request processing. If dm_kcopyd_copy is not run in the completion thread, this implementation is deadlock-free. MIN_JOBS needs reducing accordingly and we've chosen to reduce it further to 8.

This patch adds a check that a block device has a request function defined before it is used. Otherwise, misconfiguration can cause an oops. Because we are allowing devices with zero size e.g. an offline multipath device as in commit 2cd54d9b ("dm: allow offline devices") there needs to be an additional check to ensure devices are initialised. Some block devices, like a loop device without a backing file, exist but have no request function. Reproducer is trivial: dm-mirror on unbound loop device (no backing file on loop devices) dmsetup create x --table "0 8 mirror core 2 8 sync 2 /dev/loop0 0 /dev/loop1 0" and mirror resync will immediatelly cause OOps.

mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it. But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle(). Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param to simplify the x86 idle code. After this change, kernels configured with (!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above can be used. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

We'd rather that modern machines not check if HLT works on every entry into idle, for the benefit of machines that had marginal electricals 15-years ago. If those machines are still running the upstream kernel, they can use "idle=poll". The only difference will be that they'll now invoke HLT in machine_hlt(). cc: x86@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

We don't want to export the pm_idle function pointer to modules. Currently CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE w/ CONFIG_APM_MODULE forces us to. CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is of dubious value, it runs only on 32-bit uniprocessor laptops that are over 10 years old. It calls into the BIOS during idle, and is known to cause a number of machines to fail. Removing CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE and will allow us to stop exporting pm_idle. Any systems that were calling into the APM BIOS at run-time will simply use HLT instead. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting: 1. Intel C1E is somehow involved 2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E. Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific to AMD processors with Erratum 400.

_SxW returns an Integer containing the lowest D-state supported in state Sx. If OSPM has not indicated that it supports _PR3, then the value “3” corresponds to D3. If it has indicated _PR3 support, the value “3” represents D3hot and the value “4” represents D3cold. Linux does set _OSC._PR3, so we should fix it to expect that _SxW can return 4.

Usually, there are multiple processors defined in ACPI table, for example Scope (_PR) { Processor (CPU0, 0x00, 0x00000410, 0x06) {} Processor (CPU1, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06) {} Processor (CPU2, 0x02, 0x00000410, 0x06) {} Processor (CPU3, 0x03, 0x00000410, 0x06) {} } processor_physically_present(...) will be called to check whether those processors are physically present. Currently we have below codes in processor_physically_present, cpuid = acpi_get_cpuid(...); if ((cpuid == -1) && (num_possible_cpus() > 1)) return false; return true; In UP kernel, acpi_get_cpuid(...) always return -1 and num_possible_cpus() always return 1, so processor_physically_present(...) always returns true for all passed in processor handles. This is wrong for UP processor or SMP processor running UP kernel. This patch removes the !SMP version of acpi_get_cpuid(), so both UP and SMP kernel use the same acpi_get_cpuid function. And for UP kernel, only processor 0 is valid. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16548 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16357Tested-by: Anton Kochkov <anton.kochkov@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ambroz Bizjak <ambrop7@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi. Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some update to my previous patch comments. I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos requests received. This look up currently needs the acquisition of a lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value, slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple cpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot of cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where 64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with 37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock: - 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - 95.65% pm_qos_request menu_select cpuidle_idle_call - cpu_idle 99.98% start_secondary A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below. With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a 2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload. cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Acked-by: mark gross <markgross@thegnar.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Cpuidle menu governor is using u32 as a temporary datatype for storing nanosecond values which wrap around at 4.294 seconds. This causes errors in predicted sleep times resulting in higher than should be C state selection and increased power consumption.

On one machine I've been getting hangs, a page fault's anon_vma_prepare() waiting in anon_vma_lock(), other processes waiting for that page's lock. This is a replay of last year's f1819427 "mm: fix hang on anon_vma->root->lock". The new page_lock_anon_vma() places too much faith in its refcount: when it has acquired the mutex_trylock(), it's possible that a racing task in anon_vma_alloc() has just reallocated the struct anon_vma, set refcount to 1, and is about to reset its anon_vma->root. Fix this by saving anon_vma->root, and relying on the usual page_mapped() check instead of a refcount check: if page is still mapped, the anon_vma is still ours; if page is not still mapped, we're no longer interested.
