Don't bother with selection when the current cpu is idle. Recent load balancing changes also make it no longer necessary to check wake_affine() success before returning the selected sibling, so we now always use it. Signed-off-by:

Allow LAST_BUDDY to kick in sooner, improving cache utilization as soon as a second buddy pair arrives on scene. The cost is latency starting to climb sooner, the tbenefit for tbench 8 on my Q6600 box is ~2%. No detrimental effects noted in normal idesktop usage. Signed-off-by:

Now that we no longer depend on the clock being updated prior to enqueueing on migratory wakeup, we can clean up a bit, placing calls to update_rq_clock() exactly where they are needed, ie on enqueue, dequeue and schedule events. In the case of a freshly enqueued task immediately preempting, we can skip the update during preemption, as the clock was just updated by the enqueue event. We also save an unneeded call during a migratory wakeup by not updating the previous runqueue, where update_curr() won't be invoked. Signed-off-by:

Both avg_overlap and avg_wakeup had an inherent problem in that their accuracy was detrimentally affected by cross-cpu wakeups, this because we are missing the necessary call to update_curr(). This can't be fixed without increasing overhead in our already too fat fastpath. Additionally, with recent load balancing changes making us prefer to place tasks in an idle cache domain (which is good for compute bound loads), communicating tasks suffer when a sync wakeup, which would enable affine placement, is turned into a non-sync wakeup by SYNC_LESS. With one task on the runqueue, wake_affine() rejects the affine wakeup request, leaving the unfortunate where placed, taking frequent cache misses. Remove it, and recover some fastpath cycles.

Testing the load which led to this heuristic (nfs4 kbuild) shows that it has outlived it's usefullness. With intervening load balancing changes, I cannot see any difference with/without, so recover there fastpath cycles. Signed-off-by:

Entering nohz code on every micro-idle is costing ~10% throughput for netperf TCP_RR when scheduling cross-cpu. Rate limiting entry fixes this, but raises ticks a bit. On my Q6600, an idle box goes from ~85 interrupts/sec to 128. The higher the context switch rate, the more nohz entry costs. With this patch and some cycle recovery patches in my tree, max cross cpu context switch rate is improved by ~16%, a large portion of which of which is this ratelimiting. Signed-off-by:

Put all statistic fields of sched_entity in one struct, sched_statistics, and embed it into sched_entity. This change allows to memset the sched_statistics to 0 when needed (for instance when forking), avoiding bugs of non initialized fields. Signed-off-by:

On UV systems, the TSC is not synchronized across blades. The sched_clock_cpu() function is returning values that can go backwards (I've seen as much as 8 seconds) when switching between cpus. As each cpu comes up, early_init_intel() will currently set the sched_clock_stable flag true. When mark_tsc_unstable() runs, it clears the flag, but this only occurs once (the first time a cpu comes up whose TSC is not synchronized with cpu 0). After this, early_init_intel() will set the flag again as the next cpu comes up. Only set sched_clock_stable if tsc has not been marked unstable. Signed-off-by:

When writing a disc on certain lite-on dvd-writers (also rebadged as optiarc/LG/...) connected to a vt6420, the ATAPI CDB ends up in the datastream and on the disc, causing silent corruption. Delaying between sending the CDB and starting DMA seems to prevent this. I do not know if there are burners that do not suffer from this, but the patch should be safe for those as well. There are many reports of this issue, but AFAICT no solution was found before. For example: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.3/0561.htmlSigned-off-by:

I have a Delkin Devices compact flash card that isn't being recognized using the SATA/PATA drivers. The card is recognized and works with the deprecated ATA drivers. The error I am seeing is: ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (device reports invalid type, err_mask=0x0) I tracked it down to ata_id_is_cfa() in include/linux/ata.h. The Delkin card has id[0] set to 0x844a and id[83] set to 0. This isn't what the kernel expects and is probably incorrect. The simplest work-around is to add a check for 0x844a to ata_id_is_cfa().

This is similar change as commit 60c3be38 for ata_piix host driver and while pata_atiixp doesn't enable parallel scan yet the race could probably also be triggered by requesting re-scanning of both ports at the same time using SCSI sysfs interface.

This allows parallel scan and the like to be set without having to stop using the existing full helper functions. This patch merely adds the argument and fixes up the callers. It doesn't undo the special cases already in the tree or add any new parallel callers. Signed-off-by:

It's certainly a violation of the ATA specs. Fix it by adding custom ->sff_exec_command method for UDMA33 chipsets. Debugged-by:Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by:

Bart Hartgers authored
Before only the timings for master were set. Datasheet can be found here: ftp://ftp.vtbridge.org/Docs/Storage/DS_VT6421A_100_CCPL.PDF Surprisingly, a slave drive works without this patch. According to the datasheet, the controller by default derives the DMA mode from the Set Features command issued to a drive. Not sure about the PIO timings, though. The real problem is that the timings for the master effectively are the ones tuned for the slave. If these support different UDMA-settings, there is trouble, especially when the slave supports a higher UDMA than the master. Anyhow, using the same mechanism for both master and slave seems like a good idea. Signed-off-by:
