Provide a module param "pool_mode" for sunrpc.ko which allows a sysadmin to choose the mode for mapping NFS thread service pools to CPUs. Values are: auto choose a mapping mode heuristically global (default, same as the pre-2.6.19 code) a single global pool percpu one pool per CPU pernode one pool per NUMA node Note that since 2.6.19 the hardcoded behaviour has been "auto", this patch makes the default "global". The pool mode can be changed after boot/modprobe using /sys, if the NFS and lockd services have been shut down. A useful side effect of this change is to fix a small memory leak when unloading the module.

When the last thread of nfsd exits, it shuts down all related sockets. It currently uses svc_close_socket to do this, but that only is immediately effective if the socket is not SK_BUSY. If the socket is busy - i.e. if a request has arrived that has not yet been processes - svc_close_socket is not effective and the shutdown process spins. So create a new svc_force_close_socket which removes the SK_BUSY flag is set and then calls svc_close_socket. Also change some open-codes loops in svc_destroy to use list_for_each_entry_safe.

The sunrpc server code needs to know the source and destination address for UDP packets so it can reply properly. It currently copies code out of the network stack to pick the pieces out of the skb. This is ugly and causes compile problems with the IPv6 stuff. So, rip that out and use recv_msg instead. This is a much cleaner interface, but has a slight cost in that the checksum is now checked before the copy, so we don't benefit from doing both at the same time. This can probably be fixed.

This patch changes the way we determine if a logical volume is larger than 2TB. The original test looked for a total_size of 0. Originally we added 1 to the total_size. That would make our read_capacity return size 0 for >2TB lv's. We assumed that we could not have a lv size of 0 so it seemed OK until we were in a clustered system. The backup node would see a size of 0 due to the reservation on the drive. That caused the driver to switch to 16-byte CDB's which are not supported on older controllers. After that everything was broken. It may seem petty but I don't see the value in trying to determine if the LBA is beyond the 2TB boundary. That's why when we switch we use 16-byte CDB's for all read/write operations. Please consider this for inclusion.

rcutorture's module parameters currently use permissions of 0, so they don't show up in /sys/module/rcutorture/parameters. Change the permissions on all module parameters to world-readable (0444). rcutorture does all of its initialization and thread startup when loaded and relies on the parameters not changing during execution, so they should not permit writing. However, reading seems fine. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org> Cc: "Paul E.

I've only seen this on x86_64. The vsyscall state only gets updated when a timer interrupts comes in. So if the time is set long before the next timer, there will be a period when a gettimeofday() won't reflect the correct time. I added an explicit update_vsyscall() during the settimeofday(), that way the vsyscall state doesn't get stale.

The TIMER_SOFTIRQ runs the hrtimers during bootup until a usable clocksource and clock event sources are registered. The switch to high resolution mode happens inside of the TIMER_SOFTIRQ, but runs the softirq afterwards. That way the tick emulation timer, which was set up in the switch to highres might be executed in the softirq context, which is a BUG. The rbtree has not to be touched by the softirq after the highres switch. This BUG was observed by Andres Salomon, who provided the information to debug it. Return early from the softirq, when the switch was sucessful.

Prior to commit 95492e46 ([PATCH] x86: rewrite SMP TSC sync code), the headers in asm-i386 did not really require anything in include/asm-x86_64. This means that distributions such as fedora did not include asm-x86_64 in kernel-devel headers for i386. Ingo's commit changed that, and broke things. This is easy enough to hack around in package builds by just including asm-x86_64 on i386, but that's kind of annoying. If anything, x86_64 should depend upon i386, not the other way around. This patch changes it so that asm-x86_64/tsc.h includes asm-i386/tsc.h, rather than vice-versa.

Any attempt to open/use a bluetooth rfcomm device locks up scheduling completely on my machine. Interrupts (ping, alt-sysrq) seem to be alive, but nothing else.

The programming of periodic tick devices needs to be saved/restored across suspend/resume - otherwise we might end up with a system coming up that relies on getting a PIT (or HPET) interrupt, while those devices default to 'no interrupts' after powerup. (To confuse things it worked to a certain degree on some systems because the lapic gets initialized as a side-effect of SMP bootup.) This suspend / resume thing was dropped unintentionally during the last-minute -mm code reshuffling.

CONFIG_PARAVIRT broke old glibc bootup: it silently turned off the selectability of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO and thus rendered distro kernels unbootable on old-style VDSO glibc setups. the proper solution is to keep COMPAT_VDSO available - if a hypervisor needs any modification of that concept then we'll judge those changes in full context, once those changes are submitted.

there's a new NMI watchdog related problem: KVM crashes on certain bzImages because ... we enable the NMI watchdog by default (even if the user does not ask for it) , and no other OS on this planet does that so KVM doesnt have emulation for that yet. So KVM injects a #GP, which crashes the Linux guest: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c011a8ae>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00000246 (2.6.20-rc5-rt0 #3) EIP is at setup_apic_nmi_watchdog+0x26d/0x3d3 and no, i did /not/ request an nmi_watchdog on the boot command line! Solution: turn off that darn thing! It's a debug tool, not a 'make life harder' tool!! with this patch the KVM guest boots up just fine. And with this my laptop (Lenovo T60) also stopped its sporadic hard hanging (sometimes in acpi_init(), sometimes later during bootup, sometimes much later during actual use) as well. It hung with both nmi_watchdog=1 and nmi_watchdog=2, so it's generally the fact of NMI injection that is causing problems, not the NMI watchdog variant, nor any particular bootup code.

Clarify the description of the CONFIG_VMI option: describe the reality that VMI is a VMWare-only interface for now. Once that changes and another hypervisor adopts the VMI ABI we can change the text. As can be seen from the Xen paravirtualization patches submitted to lkml the Xen project has chosen its own, non-VMI interface between Xen and the para-Linux - so remove Xen from the description.

CT based mach64 cards were reported to hang on sparc64 boxes when compiled with gcc-4.1.x and later. Looking at this piece of code, it's no surprise. A critical delay was implemented as an empty for() loop, and gcc 4.0.x and previous did not optimize it away, so we did get a delay. But gcc-4.1.x and later can optimize it away, and we get crashes.
