Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options. Its effectiveness varies we've found in the Fedora case. Quite a few systems with misdescribed IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll. It also fixes up the VIA systems although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically). A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for. In those cases it doesn't help. Signed-off-by:

Currently in ext3 block reservation code, the global filesystem reservation tree lock (rsv_block) is hold during the process of searching for a space to make a new reservation window, including while scaning the block bitmap to verify if the avalible window has a free block. Holding the lock during bitmap scan is unnecessary and could possibly cause scalability issue and latency issues. This patch tries to address this by dropping the lock before scan the bitmap. Before that we need to reserve the open window in case someone else is targetting at the same window. Question was should we reserve the whole free reservable space or just the window size we need. Reserve the whole free reservable space will possibly force other threads which intended to do block allocation nearby move to another block group(cause bad layout). In this patch, we just reserve the desired size before drop the lock and scan the block bitmap. This patch fixed a ext3 reservation latency issue seen on a cvs check out test. Patch is tested with many fsx, tiobench, dbench and untar a kernel test. Signed-Off-By:

get_io_context needlessly turned off interrupts and checked for racing io context creations. Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can only be created while in process context of the current process. Also, split the function in 2. A light version, current_io_context does not elevate the reference count specifically, but can be used when in process context, because the process holds a reference itself. Signed-off-by:

In the case where the request is not able to be merged by the elevator, don't retake the lock and retry the merge mechanism after allocating a new request. Instead assume that the chance of a merge remains slim, and now that we've done most of the work allocating a request we may as well just go with it. Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking. Lastly, in get_request_wait, do an initial get_request call before going into the waitqueue. This is reported to help efficiency. Signed-off-by:

We add a check of the return value of tty_ldisc_ref(), which is checked 7 out of 8 times, e.g.: 149 ld = tty_ldisc_ref(tty); 150 if (ld != NULL) { 151 if (ld->set_termios) 152 (ld->set_termios)(tty, &old_termios); 153 tty_ldisc_deref(ld); 154 } This defect was found automatically by Coverity Prevent, a static analysis tool. (akpm: presumably `ld' is never NULL. Oh well) Signed-off-by:Zaur Kambarov <zkambarov@coverity.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by:

This patch cleans up asm-ppc64/byteorder.h to enable ___arch__swab16 and ___arch__swab32 which are marked TODO currently. It removes ___arch__swab64 because ppc64 does not have short instruction combinations for swab64, the recent gcc generates enough smart code that is equivalent to hand assembled code under my tests.

In the case of buffered AIO, in the aio retry path (aio_run_iocb), when the retry method returns EIOCBRETRY the kicked iocb is added to the context run list but is never queued onto the work queue. The request therefore is never completed. This patch fixes that by adding the appropriate call to aio_queue_work in aio_run_aiocb so that subsequent retries will be handled by the aio worker thread.

As Steven Rostedt pointed out, there are 2 problems with ITIMER_REAL timers. 1. do_setitimer() does not call del_timer_sync() in case when the timer is not pending (it_real_value() returns 0). This is wrong, the timer may still be running, and it can rearm itself. 2. It calls del_timer_sync() with tsk->sighand->siglock held. This is deadlockable, because timer's handler needs this lock too. Signed-off-by:

This patch tweaks idle thread setup semantics a bit: instead of setting NEED_RESCHED in init_idle(), we do an explicit schedule() before calling into cpu_idle(). This patch, while having no negative side-effects, enables wider use of cond_resched()s. (which might happen in the stock kernel too, but it's particulary important for voluntary-preempt) Signed-off-by:

Currently we cap request allocations at q->nr_requests, but we allow a batching io context to allocate up to 32 more (default setting). This can flood the queue with request allocations, with only a few batching processes. The real fix would be to limit the number of batchers, but as that isn't currently tracked, I suggest we just cap the maximum number of allocated requests to eg 50% over the limit. This was observed in real life, users typically see this as vmstat bo numbers going off the wall with seconds of no queueing afterwards. Behaviour this bursty is not beneficial. Signed-off-by:

Patch from Tony Lindgren This patch was suggested by RMK, and adds a warning on the accuracy of timekeeping when using dynamic tick on some platforms. Depending on the timer implementation, dynamic tick may affect the accuracy of timekeeping. Currently at least OMAP is known to have accurate timekeeping with dynamic tick. Signed-off-by:
