The determination of the dirty ratio to determine writeback behavior is currently based on the number of total pages on the system. However, not all pages in the system may be dirtied. Thus the ratio is always too low and can never reach 100%. The ratio may be particularly skewed if large hugepage allocations, slab allocations or device driver buffers make large sections of memory not available anymore. In that case we may get into a situation in which f.e. the background writeback ratio of 40% cannot be reached anymore which leads to undesired writeback behavior. This patchset fixes that issue by determining the ratio based on the actual pages that may potentially be dirty. These are the pages on the active and the inactive list plus free pages. The problem with those counts has so far been that it is expensive to calculate these because counts from multiple nodes and multiple zones will have to be summed up. This patchset makes these counters ZVC counters. This means that a current sum per zone, per node and for the whole system is always available via global variables and not expensive anymore to calculate. The patchset results in some other good side effects: - Removal of the various functions that sum up free, active and inactive page counts - Cleanup of the functions that display information via the proc filesystem. This patch: The use of a ZVC for nr_inactive and nr_active allows a simplification of some counter operations. More ZVC functionality is used for sums etc in the following patches.

After do_wp_page has tested page_mkwrite, it must release old_page after acquiring page table lock, not before: at some stage that ordering got reversed, leaving a (very unlikely) window in which old_page might be truncated, freed, and reused in the same position. Signed-off-by:

find_min_pfn_for_node() and find_min_pfn_with_active_regions() sort early_node_map[] on every call. This is an excessive amount of sorting and that can be avoided. This patch always searches the whole early_node_map[] in find_min_pfn_for_node() instead of returning the first value found. The map is then only sorted once when required.

Clean up __cache_alloc and __cache_alloc_node functions a bit. We no longer need to do NUMA_BUILD tricks and the UMA allocation path is much simpler. No functional changes in this patch. Note: saves few kernel text bytes on x86 NUMA build due to using gotos in __cache_alloc_node() and moving __GFP_THISNODE check in to fallback_alloc().

If we are doing a PIO setup for a CFA card and it blows up with a device error then assume it is an older CFA card which doesn't support this rather than failing the device out of existance. Stands seperate to the quieting patch but that is obviously useful with this change. Signed-off-by:

Update sata_nv to wait for the controller to indicate via the status register that it has entered the requested state when switching between ADMA mode and register mode. This issue came up recently when debugging some problems with cache flush command timeouts and while it didn't appear to fix that problem, this is something we should likely be doing in any case. Signed-off-by:

Robert Hancock authored
Some problems showed up recently with cache flush commands timing out on sata_nv. Previously these commands were always handled by transitioning to legacy mode from ADMA mode first. The timeout problem was worked around already by a change to the interrupt handling code for legacy mode, but for non-data commands like these it appears we can handle them in ADMA mode, so the switch to legacy mode is not needed. This patch changes the behavior so that we use ADMA mode to submit interrupt-driven commands with ATA_PROT_NODATA protocol. In addition to avoiding the problem mentioned above entirely, this avoids the overhead of switching to legacy mode and back to ADMA mode for handling cache flushes. When handling non-DMA-mapped commands, we leave the APRD blank and clear the NV_CPB_CTL_APRD_VALID field in the CPB so the controller does not attempt to read it. Signed-off-by:

This cleans up a few issues with the error handling in sata_nv in ADMA mode to make it more consistent with other NCQ-capable drivers like ahci and sata_sil24: - When a command failed, we would effectively set AC_ERR_DEV on the queued command always. In the case of NCQ commands this prevents libata from doing a log page query to determine the details of the failed command, since it thinks we've already analyzed. Just set flags in the port ehi->err_mask, then freeze or abort and let libata figure out what went wrong. - The code handled NV_ADMA_STAT_CPBERR as a "really bad error" which caused it to set error flags on every queued command. I don't know exactly what this flag means (no docs, grr!) but from what I can guess from the standard ADMA spec, it just means that one or more of the CPBs had an error, so we just need to go through and do our normal checks in this case. - In the error_handler function the code would always dump the state of all the CPBs. This output seems redundant at this point since libata already dumps the state of all active commands on errors (and it also triggers at times when it shouldn't, like when suspending). Take this out.

Follow the old SRST rule and delay 150ms between completion of hardreset and status checking. Debouncing delay should usually cover this but debounce duration could be shorter than 150ms under certain circumstances. Usefulness depends on host controller implementation but it can't hurt and serves as a reminder that 2s delay for GoVault should also be added here. Signed-off-by:

This patch is against each libata driver. Two IRQ calls are added in ata_port_operations. - irq_on() is used to enable interrupts. - irq_ack() is used to acknowledge a device interrupt. In most drivers, ata_irq_on() and ata_irq_ack() are used for irq_on and irq_ack respectively. In some drivers (ex: ahci, sata_sil24) which cannot use them as is, ata_dummy_irq_on() and ata_dummy_irq_ack() are used. Signed-off-by:

Update libata LLDs to use devres. Core layer is already converted to support managed LLDs. This patch simplifies initialization and fixes many resource related bugs in init failure and detach path. For example, all converted drivers now handle ata_device_add() failure gracefully without excessive resource rollback code. As most resources are released automatically on driver detach, many drivers don't need or can do with much simpler ->{port|host}_stop(). In general, stop callbacks are need iff port or host needs to be given commands to shut it down. Note that freezing is enough in many cases and ports are automatically frozen before being detached.

Update libata core layer to use devres. * ata_device_add() acquires all resources in managed mode. * ata_host is allocated as devres associated with ata_host_release. * Port attached status is handled as devres associated with ata_host_attach_release(). * Initialization failure and host removal is handedl by releasing devres group. * Except for ata_scsi_release() removal, LLD interface remains the same. Some functions use hacky is_managed test to support both managed and unmanaged devices. These will go away once all LLDs are updated to use devres. Signed-off-by:

Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by:

This is quick rework of the patch Uwe proposed but using Kconfig not ifdefs and user selection to sort out PATA support. Instead of ifdefs and requiring the user to select both drivers the SATA driver selects the PATA one. For neatness I've also moved the extern into the function that uses it.
