Add new option MT_ST_SILI to enable setting the SILI bit in reads in variable block mode. If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every block speeds up some real applications considerably.

I overlooked ips_scmd_buf_write and ips_scmd_buf_read when I converted ips to use the data buffer accessors. ips is unlikely to use sg chaining (especially in this path) since a) this path is used only for non I/O commands (with little data transfer), b) ips's sg_tablesize is set to just 17. Thanks to Tim Pepper for testing this patch.

Since 2.6.25-rc7, I've been seeing an occasional livelock on one x86_64 machine, copying kernel trees to tmpfs, paging out to swap. Signature: 6000 pages under writeback but never getting written; most tasks of interest trying to reclaim, but each get_swap_bio waiting for a bio in mempool_alloc's io_schedule_timeout(5*HZ); every five seconds an atomic page allocation failure report from kblockd failing to allocate a sense_buffer in __scsi_get_command. __scsi_get_command has a (one item) free_list to protect against this, but rc1's [SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense buffer de25deb1 upset that slightly. When it fails to allocate from the separate sense_slab, instead of giving up, it must fall back to the command free_list, which is sure to have a sense_buffer attached. Either my earlier -rc testing missed this, or there's some recent contributory factor. One very significant factor is SLUB, which merges slab caches when it can, and on 64-bit happens to merge both bio cache and sense_slab cache into kmalloc's 128-byte cache: so that under this swapping load, bios above are liable to gobble up all the slots needed for scsi_cmnd sense_buffers below. That's disturbing behaviour, and I tried a few things to fix it. Adding a no-op constructor to the sense_slab inhibits SLUB from merging it, and stops all the allocation failures I was seeing; but it's rather a hack, and perhaps in different configurations we have other caches on the swapout path which are ill-merged. Another alternative is to revert the separate sense_slab, using cache-line-aligned sense_buffer allocated beyond scsi_cmnd from the one kmem_cache; but that might waste more memory, and is only a way of diverting around the known problem. While I don't like seeing the allocation failures, and hate the idea of all those bios piled up above a scsi host working one by one, it does seem to emerge fairly soon with the livelock fix. So lacking better ideas, stick with that one clear fix for now.

In 2.6.14 a patch was merged which switching the order of the ipmi device naming from in-order-of-discovery over to reverse-order-of-discovery. So on systems with multiple BMC interfaces, the ipmi device names are being created in reverse order relative to how they are discovered on the system (e.g. on an IBM x3950 multinode server with N nodes, the device name for the BMC in the first node is /dev/ipmiN-1 and the device name for the BMC in the last node is /dev/ipmi0, etc.). The problem is caused by the list handling routines chosen in dmi_scan.c. Using list_add() causes the multiple ipmi devices to be added to the device list using a stack-paradigm and so the ipmi driver subsequently pulls them off during initialization in LIFO order. This patch changes the dmi_save_ipmi_device() list handling paradigm to a queue, thereby allowing the ipmi driver to build the ipmi device names in the order in which they are found on the system.

THe CFI driver in 2.6.24 kernel is broken. Not so intensive read/write operations cause incomplete writes which lead to kernel panics in JFFS2. We investigated the issue - it is caused by bug in FL_SHUTDOWN parsing code. Sometimes chip returns -EIO as if it is in FL_SHUTDOWN state when it should wait in FL_PONT (error in order of conditions). The following patch fixes the bug in state parsing code of CFI. Also I've added comments to notify developers if they want to add new case in future.

A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the memory controller. By default the option is on for the following two reasons: 1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory controller turns on if the config option is enabled 2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config option is enabled We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not aware of boot options. We do not populate the directory will memory resource controller specific files.

The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are: - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem. This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run. Hugh said: Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to 1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page). I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.

Mikulas Patocka noted that the optimization where we check if a buffer was already dirty (and we avoid re-dirtying it) was not really SMP-safe. Since the read of the old status was not synchronized with anything, an aggressive CPU re-ordering of memory accesses might have moved that read up to before the data was even written to the buffer, and another CPU that cleaned it again, causing the newly dirty state to never actually hit the disk. Admittedly this would probably never trigger in practice, but it's still wrong. Mikulas sent a patch that fixed the problem, but I dislike the subtlety of the whole optimization, so this is an alternate fix that is more explicit about the particular SMP ordering for the optimization, and separates out the speculative reads of the buffer state into its own conditional (and makes the memory barrier only happen if we are likely to actually hit the optimized case in the first place). I considered removing the optimization entirely, but Andrew argued for it's continued existence. I'm a push-over.

That caused not only a reserved region to leak, but also caused an oops when the driver module was unloaded and somebody tried to cat /proc/ioports - because the string that was assigned to the IO port region was a static string in the module virtual address area.
