2010-08-12x86/hpet: Use the FSEC_PER_SEC constant for femto-second periodsChris Wilson
The current computation, introduced with f12a15be63, of FSEC_PER_SEC using the multiplication of (FSEC_PER_NSEC * NSEC_PER_SEC) is performed only with 32bit integers on small machines, resulting in an overflow and a *very* short intervals being programmed. An interrupt storm follows. Note that we also have to specify FSEC_PER_SEC as being long long to overcome the same limitations.

2010-08-12timekeeping: Fix overflow in rawtime tv_nsec on 32 bit archsJason Wessel
The tv_nsec is a long and when added to the shifted interval it can wrap and become negative which later causes looping problems in the getrawmonotonic(). The edge case occurs when the system has slept for a short period of time of ~2 seconds. A trace printk of the values in this patch illustrate the problem: ftrace time stamp: log 43.716079: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec d687faa 43.718513: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec da588bd 43.722161: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec de291d0 46.349925: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 7a122600 tv_nsec e1f9ae3 46.349930: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 1e848980 tv_nsec 8831c0e3 The kernel starts looping at 46.349925 in the getrawmonotonic() due to the negative value from adding the raw value to tv_nsec. A simple solution is to accumulate into a u64, and then normalize it to a timespec_t.

Don't try and #include <linux/slab.h> in lib/inflate.c from the bootloader code as linux/slab.h hauls in function defs that aren't available in the bootloader code and may also haul in conflicting functions. To fix this, make the inclusion of linux/slab.h contingent on NO_INFLATE_MALLOC as are the usages of kmalloc() and kfree().

It is advantageous to have performance tests in a kernel module like mmc_test for the following reasons: - transfer times can be measured very accurately - arbitrarily large transfers are possible - the effect of contiguous vs scattered pages can be determined The new tests are: 23. Best-case read performance 24. Best-case write performance 25. Best-case read performance into scattered pages 26. Best-case write performance from scattered pages 27. Single read performance by transfer size 28. Single write performance by transfer size 29. Single trim performance by transfer size 30. Consecutive read performance by transfer size 31.

2010-08-12mmc: add erase, secure erase, trim and secure trim operationsAdrian Hunter
SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation. In addition, eMMC v4.4 cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are all variants of the basic erase command. SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been added. "erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation. For MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card. Note that "erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the minimum size is always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512 if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise. SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons: 1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card wait. This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a several minutes. 2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress. 3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful. Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several minutes for large areas. "erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good chunk size for erasing large areas. For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card. For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by the card. "preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.

2010-08-12mm: fix writeback_in_progress()Jan Kara
Commit 83ba7b071f3 ("writeback: simplify the write back thread queue") broke writeback_in_progress() as in that commit we started to remove work items from the list at the moment we start working on them and not at the moment they are finished. Thus if the flusher thread was doing some work but there was no other work queued, writeback_in_progress() returned false. This could in particular cause unnecessary queueing of background writeback from balance_dirty_pages() or writeout work from writeback_sb_if_idle(). This patch fixes the problem by introducing a bit in the bdi state which indicates that the flusher thread is processing some work and uses this bit for writeback_in_progress() test. NOTE: Both callsites of writeback_in_progress() (namely, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() and balance_dirty_pages()) would actually need a different information than what writeback_in_progress() provides. They would need to know whether *the kind of writeback they are going to submit* is already queued. But this information isn't that simple to provide so let's fix writeback_in_progress() for the time being.

2010-08-12writeback: merge for_kupdate and !for_kupdate casesWu Fengguang
Unify the logic for kupdate and non-kupdate cases. There won't be starvation because the inodes requeued into b_more_io will later be spliced _after_ the remaining inodes in b_io, hence won't stand in the way of other inodes in the next run. It avoids unnecessary redirty_tail() calls, hence the update of i_dirtied_when. The timestamp update is undesirable because it could later delay the inode's periodic writeback, or may exclude the inode from the data integrity sync operation (which checks timestamp to avoid extra work and livelock). === How the redirty_tail() comes about: It was a long story.. This redirty_tail() was introduced with wbc.more_io. The initial patch for more_io actually does not have the redirty_tail(), and when it's merged, several 100% iowait bug reports arised: reiserfs: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/23/93 jfs: commit 29a424f28390752a4ca2349633aaacc6be494db5 JFS: clear PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY for no-write pages ext2: http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04762.html They are all old bugs hidden in various filesystems that become "visible" with the more_io patch. At the time, the ext2 bug is thought to be "trivial", so not fixed. Instead the following updated more_io patch with redirty_tail() is merged: http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04507.html This will in general prevent 100% on ext2 and possibly other unknown FS bugs.

2010-08-12writeback: balance_dirty_pages(): reduce calls to global_page_stateWu Fengguang
Reducing the number of times balance_dirty_pages calls global_page_state reduces the cache references and so improves write performance on a variety of workloads. 'perf stats' of simple fio write tests shows the reduction in cache access. Where the test is fio 'write,mmap,600Mb,pre_read' on AMD AthlonX2 with 3Gb memory (dirty_threshold approx 600 Mb) running each test 10 times, dropping the fasted & slowest values then taking the average & standard deviation average (s.d.) in millions (10^6) 2.6.31-rc8 648.6 (14.6) +patch 620.1 (16.5) Achieving this reduction is by dropping clip_bdi_dirty_limit as it rereads the counters to apply the dirty_threshold and moving this check up into balance_dirty_pages where it has already read the counters. Also by rearrange the for loop to only contain one copy of the limit tests allows the pdflush test after the loop to use the local copies of the counters rather than rereading them. In the common case with no throttling it now calls global_page_state 5 fewer times and bdi_stat 2 fewer. Fengguang: This patch slightly changes behavior by replacing clip_bdi_dirty_limit() with the explicit check (nr_reclaimable + nr_writeback >= dirty_thresh) to avoid exceeding the dirty limit. Since the bdi dirty limit is mostly accurate we don't need to do routinely clip. A simple dirty limit check would be enough. The check is necessary because, in principle we should throttle everything calling balance_dirty_pages() when we're over the total limit, as said by Peter. We now set and clear dirty_exceeded not only based on bdi dirty limits, but also on the global dirty limit. The global limit check is added in place of clip_bdi_dirty_limit() for safety and not intended as a behavior change. The bdi limits should be tight enough to keep all dirty pages under the global limit at most time; occasional small exceeding should be OK though. The change makes the logic more obvious: the global limit is the ultimate goal and shall be always imposed. We may now start background writeback work based on outdated conditions. That's safe because the bdi flush thread will (and have to) double check the states. It reduces overall overheads because the test based on old states still have good chance to be right.

Fix kconfig dependency warning for PC8736x_GPIO by restricting it to X86_32. warning: (SCx200_GPIO && SCx200 || PC8736x_GPIO && X86) selects NSC_GPIO which has unmet direct dependencies (X86_32) NSC_GPIO is X86_32 only. The other driver (SCx200_GPIO) that selects NSC_GPIO is X86_32 only (indirectly, since SCx200 depends on X86_32), so limit this driver also.

2010-08-12acpi: fix bogus preemption logicThomas Gleixner
The ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() logic was introduced in commit 8bd108d (ACPICA: add preemption point after each opcode parse). The follow up commits abe1dfab6, 138d15692, c084ca70 tried to fix the preemption logic back and forth, but nobody noticed that the usage of in_atomic_preempt_off() in that context is wrong. The check which guards the call of cond_resched() is: if (!in_atomic_preempt_off() && !irqs_disabled()) in_atomic_preempt_off() is not intended for general use as the comment above the macro definition clearly says: * Check whether we were atomic before we did preempt_disable(): * (used by the scheduler, *after* releasing the kernel lock) On a CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel the usage of in_atomic_preempt_off() works by accident, but with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y it's just broken. The whole purpose of the ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() is to reduce the latency on a CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel, so make ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() depend on CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and remove the in_atomic_preempt_off() check.

2010-08-12drm: Remove count_lock for calling lastclose() after 58474713 (v2)Chris Wilson
When removing of the BKL the locking around lastclose() was rearranged and resulted in the holding of the open_count spinlock over the call into drm_lastclose(). The drivers were not ready for this path to be atomic - it may indeed involve long waits to release old objects and cleanup the GPU - and so we ended up scheduling whilst atomic.
