If a bypass-the-cache read fails, we simply try again through the cache. If it fails again it will trigger normal recovery precedures. update 1: From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 1/ chunk_aligned_read and retry_aligned_read assume that data_disks == raid_disks - 1 which is not true for raid6. So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data. 2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio (to test BIO_UPTODATE). 3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting a bio for aligned-read 4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev, so we need to invalidate the segment counts. 5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes. This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still available in the end_io routine. Fortunately bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so we can stuff it in there. 6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable. From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> update 2: 1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried via the normal method (stripe cache). As we cannot be sure that we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried. When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to the list, not to single-bio... 2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed aligned requests.

The ESB2 appears to emit spurious DMA interrupts when configured for native mode and handling ATAPI devices. Stratus were able to pin this bug down and produce a patch. This is a rework which applies the fixup only to the ESB2 (for now). We can apply it to other chips later if the same problem is found. This code has been tested and confirmed to fix the problem on the tested systems. Signed-off-by:

Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a load balance at the frequency of balance_interval. More the cores and threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain. And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those domains. Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that particular sched domain and this load will slowly percolate down to the other cpus with in that group(when they do load balancing at lower domains).

Co-opt rq->timestamp_last_tick to maintain a cache_hot_time evaluation reference timestamp at both tick and sched times to prevent said reference, formerly rq->timestamp_last_tick, from being behind task->last_ran at evaluation time, and to move said reference closer to current time on the remote processor, intent being to improve cache hot evaluation and timestamp adjustment accuracy for task migration. Fix minor sched_time double accounting error which occurs when a task passing through schedule() does not schedule off, and takes the next timer tick.

Trigger softirq less frequently We trigger the softirq before this patch using offset of sd->interval. However, if the queue is busy then it is sufficient to schedule the softirq with sd->interval * busy_factor. So we modify the calculation of the next time to balance by taking the interval added to last_balance again. This is only the right value if the idle/busy situation continues as is. There are two potential trouble spots: - If the queue was idle and now gets busy then we call rebalance early. However, that is not a problem because we will then use the longer interval for the next period. - If the queue was busy and becomes idle then we potentially wait too long before rebalancing. However, when the task goes idle then idle_balance is called. We add another calculation of the next balance time based on sd->interval in idle_balance so that we will rebalance soon. V2->V3: - Calculate rebalance time based on current jiffies and not based on the jiffies at the last time we load balanced. We no longer rely on staggering and therefore we can affort to do this now. V3->V4: - Use functions to do jiffy comparisons. Signed-off-by:

Call rebalance_tick (renamed to run_rebalance_domains) from a newly introduced softirq. We calculate the earliest time for each layer of sched domains to be rescanned (this is the rescan time for idle) and use the earliest of those to schedule the softirq via a new field "next_balance" added to struct rq.

Perform the idle state determination in rebalance_tick. If we separate balancing from sched_tick then we also need to determine the idle state in rebalance_tick. V2->V3 Remove useless idlle != 0 check. Checking nr_running seems to be sufficient. Thanks Suresh. Signed-off-by:

Christoph Lameter authored
A load calculation is always done in rebalance_tick() in addition to the real load balancing activities that only take place when certain jiffie counts have been reached. Move that processing into a separate function and call it directly from scheduler_tick(). Also extract the time slice handling from scheduler_tick and put it into a separate function. Then we can clean up scheduler_tick significantly. It will no longer have any gotos. Signed-off-by:

Interrupts must be disabled for request queue locks if we want to run load_balance() with interrupts enabled. Signed-off-by:
-
Christoph Lameter authored
Timer interrupts already are staggered. We do not need an additional layer of time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a reasonably small portion of the time slice. For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization later that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has the same effect as load staggering. Signed-off-by:

Siddha, Suresh B authored
With SMT, if the logical processor is busy, load balance happens for every 8msec(min)-16msec(max). There is no need to do this often, as this is just for fairness(to maintain uniform runqueue lengths) and default time slice anyhow is 100msec. Appended patch increases this interval to 64msec(min)-128msec(max) when the logical processor is busy. Signed-off-by:

Add a simple /proc/pid/io to show the IO accounting fields. Maybe this shouldn't be merged in mainline - the preferred reporting channel is taskstats. But given the poor state of our userspace support for taskstats, this is useful for developer-testing, at least. And it improves the changes that the procps developers will wire it up into top(1). Opinions are sought. The patch also wires up the existing IO-accounting fields. It's a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if process A reads process B's /proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of those 64-bit counters, process A could see an intermediate result.

Accounting writes is fairly simple: whenever a process flips a page from clean to dirty, we accuse it of having caused a write to underlying storage of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes. This may overestimate the amount of writing: the page-dirtying may cause only one buffer_head's worth of writeout. Fixing that is possible, but probably a bit messy and isn't obviously important.

The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful. It simply counts the number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O, which is wrong. (David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting: For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very useful read_bytes/read_calls average read request size write_bytes/write_calls average write request size read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can be missed I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache contention. I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high IO commands). This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account for three things: reads: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and CIFS. writes: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time. The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write. So... cancelled_writes: account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by truncating pagecache. We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative amounts of write IO, which is silly. So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace. Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But - This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page level (would require a new pointer in struct page). - It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot communicate this info via taskstats. This patch: Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to manipulate them.

Fix the CRC errors in the higher UltraDMA modes with the Promise PDC20268 and newer chips that always occur on non-x86 machines and when there are more than 2 adapters on x86 machines. Fix the overclocking issue for PDC20269 and newer chips that occurs when an UltraDMA/133 capable drive is connected. Here's the summary of changes: - add code to detect the PLL input clock detection and setup it output clock, remove the PowerMac hacks; - replace the macros accessing the indexed regiters with functions, switch to using them where appropriate, gather the PIO/MWDMA/UDMA timings into tables; - rewrite the speedproc() handler to set the drive's transfer mode first, and then override the timing registers set by hardware on UltraDMA/133 chips; - use better criterion for determining higher UltraDMA modes, and add comment concerning the doubtful value of the code enabling IORDY/prefetch; - replace the stupid 'pdcnew_new_' prefixes with mere 'pdcnew_'; - get rid of unneded spaces, parens and type casts, clean up some printk's, add some new lines here and there... This work is loosely based on these former patches by Albert Lee: [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992442032300 [2] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992457729382 [3] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992474205555 [4] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=111019224802939 Some PLL clock detection code was backported from his pata_pdc2027x driver... This code has been successfully tested by me on PDC2026[89] chips. I tried to keep this rework as several patches but it made no sense: [2] was largely a modification of the non-working timing override code, [3] by itself extended the overclocking issue to the case of non-UltraDMA/133 drives, and finally, the cleanup patch based on [1] ended up rejected...
