But rcu_lock() just makes sure the thing some pointer points to,
if any, won't go away. It does not make the pointer itself immutable.

In fact there is no need to "filter" connections based on whether or not

as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).

In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.

With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
will BUG within a few minutes.

dm thin: fix regression in advertised discard limits

When establishing a thin device's discard limits we cannot rely on the
underlying thin-pool device's discard capabilities (which are inherited
from the thin-pool's underlying data device) given that DM thin devices
must provide discard support even when the thin-pool's underlying data
device doesn't support discards.

Users were exposed to this thin device discard limits regression if
their thin-pool's underlying data device does _not_ support discards.
This regression caused all upper-layers that called the
blkdev_issue_discard() interface to not be able to issue discards to
thin devices (because discard_granularity was 0).  This regression
wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive
'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against
thin-pool's with data devices that support discards.

Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature
rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support
should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity.

8 years agoslab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API

slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.

Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.

A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.

The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.

To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to

8 years agoslub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist
Jesper Dangaard Brouer [Fri, 20 Nov 2015 23:57:49 +0000 (15:57 -0800)]
slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.

The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.

To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist.  The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:

 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
    thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.

 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
    each with a separate head pointer.

 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.

Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization.  The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed.  The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk.  Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.

All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page.  The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.

Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().

Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
"slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).

8 years agoslub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists

slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).

Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object.  This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.

This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().

Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists.  When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.

These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.

Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

The issue is that we've got the software context pinned while
calling blk_flush_plug_list(), which flushes callbacks that
are allowed to sleep. btrfs and raid has such callbacks.

Flip the checks around a bit, so we can enable preempt a bit
earlier and flush plugs without having preempt disabled.

This only affects blk-mq driven devices, and only those that
register a single queue.

But this patch is more than a boring cleanup patch, it fixes a real issue
on UserModeLinux.  UML has a special console driver to display ttys using
xterm, or other terminal emulators, on the host side.  Vegard reported
that sometimes UML is unable to spawn a xterm and he's facing the
following warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 908 at include/linux/thread_info.h:128 sigsuspend+0xab/0xc0()

It turned out that this warning makes absolutely no sense as the UML
xterm code calls sigsuspend() on the host side, at least it tries.  But
as the kernel itself offers a sigsuspend() symbol the linker choose this
one instead of the glibc wrapper.  Interestingly this code used to work
since ever but always blocked signals on the wrong side.  Some recent
kernel change made the WARN_ON() trigger and uncovered the bug.

It is a wonderful example of how much works by chance on computers. :-)

mm/hugetlbfs: fix bugs in fallocate hole punch of areas with holes

Hugh Dickins pointed out problems with the new hugetlbfs fallocate hole
punch code.  These problems are in the routine remove_inode_hugepages and
mostly occur in the case where there are holes in the range of pages to be
removed.  These holes could be the result of a previous hole punch or
simply sparse allocation.  The current code could access pages outside the
specified range.

remove_inode_hugepages handles both hole punch and truncate operations.
Page index handling was fixed/cleaned up so that the loop index always
matches the page being processed.  The code now only makes a single pass
through the range of pages as it was determined page faults could not race
with truncate.  A cond_resched() was added after removing up to
PAGEVEC_SIZE pages.

Some totally unnecessary code in hugetlbfs_fallocate() that remained from
early development was also removed.

Tested with fallocate tests submitted here:

them via configfs and adds the IIO hrtimer based interrupt source to be used
with software triggers.

The architecture is now split in 3 parts, to remove all IIO trigger specific
parts from IIO configfs core:

(1) IIO configfs - creates the root of the IIO configfs subsys.
(2) IIO software triggers - software trigger implementation, dynamically
    creating /config/iio/triggers group.
(3) IIO hrtimer trigger - is the first interrupt source for software triggers
    (with syfs to follow). Each trigger type can implement its own set of
    attributes.

Lockdep seems to be happy with the locking in configfs patch.

This patch (of 5):

We don't want to hardcode default groups at subsystem
creation time. We export:
* configfs_register_group
* configfs_unregister_group
to allow drivers to programatically create/destroy groups
later, after module init time.

This is needed for IIO configfs support.

covering the middle part with a little overlap.  Maybe arches which do not
allow unaligned stores gain even more.

I don't know if gcc can actually make use of alignments greater than 8 for
anything, so one could probably drop the __assume_xyz_alignment macros and
just use __assume_aligned(8).

The increases in code size are mostly caused by gcc deciding to
opencode strlen() using the check-four-bytes-at-a-time trick when it
knows the buffer is sufficiently aligned (one function grew by 200
bytes). Now it turns out that many of these strlen() calls showing up
were in fact redundant, and they're gone from -next. Applying the two
patches to next-20151001 bloat-o-meter instead says

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 6/52 up/down: 244/-2140 (-1896)

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are mostly fixes and cleanups (ACPI core, PM core, cpufreq, ACPI
  EC driver, device properties) including three reverts of recent
  intel_pstate driver commits due to a regression introduced by one of
  them plus support for Atom Airmont cores in intel_pstate (which really
  boils down to adding new frequency tables for Airmont) and additional
  turbostat updates.

  Specifics:

   - Revert three recent intel_pstate driver commits one of which
     introduced a regression and the remaining two depend on the
     problematic one (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix breakage related to the recently introduced ACPI _CCA object
     support in the PCI DMA setup code (Suravee Suthikulpanit).

   - Fix up the recently introduced ACPI CPPC support to only use the
     hardware-reduced version of the PCCT structure as the only
     architecture to support it (ARM64) will only use hardware-reduced
     ACPI anyway (Ashwin Chaugule).

   - Fix a cpufreq mediatek driver build problem (Arnd Bergmann).

   - Fix the SMBus transaction handling implementation in the ACPI core
     to avoid re-entrant calls to wait_event_timeout() which makes
     intermittent boot stalls related to the Smart Battery Subsystem
     initialization go away and revert a workaround of another problem
     with the same underlying root cause (Chris Bainbridge).

   - Fix the generic wakeup interrupts framework to avoid using invalid
     IRQ numbers (Dmitry Torokhov).

   - Remove a redundant check from the ACPI EC driver (Markus Elfring).

   - Modify the intel_pstate driver so it can support more Atom flavors
     than just one (Baytrail) and add support for Atom Airmont cores
     (which require new freqnency tables) to it (Philippe Longepe).
