The preempt_count member of struct thread_info is currently either defined
as int, unsigned int or __s32 depending on arch. This patch makes the type
of preempt_count an int on all archs.
Having preempt_count be an unsigned type prevents the catching of
preempt_count < 0 bugs, and using int on some archs and __s32 on others is
not exactely "neat" - much nicer when it's just int all over.
A previous version of this patch was already ACK'ed by Robert Love, and the
only change in this version of the patch compared to the one he ACK'ed is
that this one also makes sure the preempt_count member is consistently
commented.

Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot. Increase lock widths
slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request. Also it was quite
trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic
requirement. This also makes memory ordering explicitly correct, which is
nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs).
Test was reading 4 250MB files in parallel on ext2-on-tmpfs filesystem (1K
block size, 4K page size). System is 2 socket Xeon with HT (4 thread).

Based on analysis and a patch from Russ Weight <rweight@us.ibm.com>
There is a race condition that can occur if an inode is allocated and then
released (using iput) during the ->fill_super functions. The race
condition is between kswapd and mount.
For most filesystems this can only happen in an error path when kswapd is
running concurrently. For isofs, however, the error can occur in a more
common code path (which is how the bug was found).
The logic here is "we want final iput() to free inode *now* instead of
letting it sit in cache if fs is going down or had not quite come up". The
problem is with kswapd seeing such inodes in the middle of being killed and
happily taking over.
The clean solution would be to tell kswapd to leave those inodes alone and
let our final iput deal with them. I.e. add a new flag
(I_FORCED_FREEING), set it before write_inode_now() there and make
prune_icache() leave those alone.

This patch splits del_timer_sync() into 2 functions. The new one,
try_to_del_timer_sync(), returns -1 when it hits executing timer.
It can be used in interrupt context, or when the caller hold locks which
can prevent completion of the timer's handler.
NOTE. Currently it can't be used in interrupt context in UP case, because
->running_timer is used only with CONFIG_SMP.
Should the need arise, it is possible to kill #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in
set_running_timer(), it is cheap.

This patch tries to solve following problems:
1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after
del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck
timer_pending().
2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine
if the timer is running on that cpu.
With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain
del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for
completion of the currently running timer.
The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use
add_timer_on().
3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself.
If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently
running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on
CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1.
4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks
at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers.
The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not
need memory barriers.
Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case
->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock
because ->base can be == NULL.
This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is
pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del()
when the timer is deleted.
The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized
in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the
tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied
to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked
too.
So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could
be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers).
When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list
(which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is
possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains
locked.
This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL,
locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same.
__mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base.
However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the
timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and
unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base,
and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not
possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed
while the timer's handler is running on the old base.
__run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear
pending flag.
So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect
whether it is running or not.
We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it.
We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb()
before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer()
did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add()
could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are
serialized through base->lock.
One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch
adds global
struct timer_base_s {
spinlock_t lock;
struct timer_list *running_timer;
} __init_timer_base;
which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s
struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base.
It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global
__init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first
time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates
to the local CPU.

Issue:
Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in
loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs
(System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could
lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6
kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling
latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things
like legacy keyboard emulation).
Description:
The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like
(0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy
(1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough)
(2) wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1)
(3) Note down current tsc (tsc1)
(4) loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy
(5) check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine
loops_per_jiffy estimate
Consider the following cases
Case 1:
If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and
kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization
timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified
interval).
Case 2:
If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too
high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in
delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic().
Solution:
The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events
like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any
significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to
user.
Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this
new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.

Make sparse's initalization be accessible at runtime. This allows sparse
mappings to be created after boot in a hotplug situation.
This patch is separated from the previous one just to give an indication how
much of the sparse infrastructure is *just* for hotplug memory.
The section_mem_map doesn't really store a pointer. It stores something that
is convenient to do some math against to get a pointer. It isn't valid to
just do *section_mem_map, so I don't think it should be stored as a pointer.
There are a couple of things I'd like to store about a section. First of all,
the fact that it is !NULL does not mean that it is present. There could be
such a combination where section_mem_map *is* NULL, but the math gets you
properly to a real mem_map. So, I don't think that check is safe.
Since we're storing 32-bit-aligned structures, we have a few bits in the
bottom of the pointer to play with. Use one bit to encode whether there's
really a mem_map there, and the other one to tell whether there's a valid
section there. We need to distinguish between the two because sometimes
there's a gap between when a section is discovered to be present and when we
can get the mem_map for it.

The part of the sparsemem patch which modifies memmap_init_zone() has recently
become a problem. It changes behavior so that there is a call to
pfn_to_page() for each individual page inside of a node's range:
node_start_pfn through node_end_pfn. It used to simply do this once, at the
beginning of the node, but having sparsemem's non-contiguous mem_map[]s inside
of a node made it necessary to change.
Mike Kravetz recently wrote a patch which made the NUMA code accept some new
kinds of layouts. The system's memory was laid out like this, with node 0's
memory in two pieces: one before and one after node 1's memory:
Node 0: +++++ +++++
Node 1: +++++
Previous behavior before Mike's patch was to assign nodes like this:
Node 0: 00000 XXXXX
Node 1: 11111
Where the 'X' areas were simply thrown away. The new behavior was to make the
pg_data_t span node 0 across all of its areas, including areas that are really
node 1's: Node 0: 000000000000000 Node 1: 11111
This wastes a little bit of mem_map space, but ends up being OK, and more
fully utilizes the system's memory. memmap_init_zone() initializes all of the
"struct page"s for node 0, even for the "hole", but those never get used,
because there is no pfn_to_page() that resolves to those pages. However, only
calling pfn_to_page() once, memmap_init_zone() always uses the pages that were
allocated for node0->node_mem_map because:
struct page *start = pfn_to_page(start_pfn);
// effectively start = &node->node_mem_map[0]
for (page = start; page < (start + size); page++) {
init_page_here();...
page++;
}
Slow, and wasteful, but generally harmless.
But, modify that to call pfn_to_page() for each loop iteration (like sparsemem
does):
for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < < (start_pfn + size); pfn++++) {
page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
}
And you end up trying to initialize node 1's pages too early, along with bogus
data from node 0. This patch checks for those weird layouts and declines to
touch the pages, making the more frequent pfn_to_page() calls OK to do.

Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of
mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old
CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem
replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually
become a complete replacement.
A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated
from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA
and DISCONTIG are often confused.
Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be
contiguous. It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems,
where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory.
Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for
each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory. This is what allows the mem_map[]
to be chopped up.
In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page
is encoded in page->flags. Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables
sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the
page_zone() and sparsemem operations. However, on 32-bit architectures, the
number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the
page->flags type in certain conditions. Several things might force this to
occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of
memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the
number of used page->flags.
One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node
information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags. It might provide
speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is
room. But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is
used.
This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM. It is used in almost all cases where
there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM
often have to compile out the same areas of code.

There is some confusion that arose when working on SPARSEMEM patch between
what is needed for DISCONTIG vs. NUMA.
Multiple pg_data_t's are needed for DISCONTIGMEM or NUMA, independently.
All of the current NUMA implementations require an implementation of
DISCONTIG. Because of this, quite a lot of code which is really needed for
NUMA is actually under DISCONTIG #ifdefs. For SPARSEMEM, we changed some
of these #ifdefs to CONFIG_NUMA, but that broke the DISCONTIG=y and NUMA=n
case.
Introducing this new NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES config option allows code that is
needed for both NUMA or DISCONTIG to be separated out from code that is
specific to DISCONTIG.
One great advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require every
architecture to be converted over. All of the current implementations
should "just work", only the ones implementing SPARSEMEM will have to be
fixed up.
The change to free_area_init() makes it work inside, or out of the new
config option.

Generify the value fields in the page_flags. The aim is to allow the location
and size of these fields to be varied. Additionally we want to move away from
fixed allocations per field whilst still enforcing the overall bit utilisation
limits. We rely on the compiler to spot and optimise the accessor functions.

Introduce a simple allocator for the NUMA remap space. This space is very
scarce, used for structures which are best allocated node local.
This mechanism is also used on non-NUMA ia64 systems with a vmem_map to keep
the pgdat->node_mem_map initialized in a consistent place for all
architectures.
Issues:
o alloc_remap takes a node_id where we might expect a pgdat which was intended
to allow us to allocate the pgdat's using this mechanism; which we do not yet
do. Could have alloc_remap_node() and alloc_remap_nid() for this purpose.

This patch effectively eliminates direct use of pgdat->node_mem_map outside
of the DISCONTIG code. On a flat memory system, these fields aren't
currently used, neither are they on a sparsemem system.
There was also a node_mem_map(nid) macro on many architectures. Its use
along with the use of ->node_mem_map itself was not consistent. It has
been removed in favor of two new, more explicit, arch-independent macros:
pgdat_page_nr(pgdat, pagenr)
nid_page_nr(nid, pagenr)
I called them "pgdat" and "nid" because we overload the term "node" to mean
"NUMA node", "DISCONTIG node" or "pg_data_t" in very confusing ways. I
believe the newer names are much clearer.
These macros can be overridden in the sparsemem case with a theoretically
slower operation using node_start_pfn and pfn_to_page(), instead. We could
make this the only behavior if people want, but I don't want to change too
much at once. One thing at a time.
This patch removes more code than it adds.

This patch is a follow up to patch 1 regarding "Selective Sub Address
matching with call user data". It allows use of the Fast-Select-Acceptance
optional user facility for X.25.
This patch just implements fast select with no restriction on response
(NRR). What this means (according to ITU-T Recomendation 10/96 section
6.16) is that if in an incoming call packet, the relevant facility bits are
set for fast-select-NRR, then the called DTE can issue a direct response to
the incoming packet using a call-accepted packet that contains
call-user-data. This patch allows such a response.
The called DTE can also respond with a clear-request packet that contains
call-user-data. However, this feature is currently not implemented by the
patch.
How is Fast Select Acceptance used?
By default, the system does not allow fast select acceptance (as before).
To enable a response to fast select acceptance,
After a listen socket in created and bound as follows
socket(AF_X25, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
bind(call_soc, (struct sockaddr *)&locl_addr, sizeof(locl_addr));
but before a listen system call is made, the following ioctl should be used.
ioctl(call_soc,SIOCX25CALLACCPTAPPRV);
Now the listen system call can be made
listen(call_soc, 4);
After this, an incoming-call packet will be accepted, but no call-accepted
packet will be sent back until the following system call is made on the socket
that accepts the call
ioctl(vc_soc,SIOCX25SENDCALLACCPT);
The network (or cisco xot router used for testing here) will allow the
application server's call-user-data in the call-accepted packet,
provided the call-request was made with Fast-select NRR.

From: Shaun Pereira <spereira@tusc.com.au>
This is the first (independent of the second) patch of two that I am
working on with x25 on linux (tested with xot on a cisco router). Details
are as follows.
Current state of module:
A server using the current implementation (2.6.11.7) of the x25 module will
accept a call request/ incoming call packet at the listening x.25 address,
from all callers to that address, as long as NO call user data is present
in the packet header.
If the server needs to choose to accept a particular call request/ incoming
call packet arriving at its listening x25 address, then the kernel has to
allow a match of call user data present in the call request packet with its
own. This is required when multiple servers listen at the same x25 address
and device interface. The kernel currently matches ALL call user data, if
present.
Current Changes:
This patch is a follow up to the patch submitted previously by Andrew
Hendry, and allows the user to selectively control the number of octets of
call user data in the call request packet, that the kernel will match. By
default no call user data is matched, even if call user data is present.
To allow call user data matching, a cudmatchlength > 0 has to be passed
into the kernel after which the passed number of octets will be matched.
Otherwise the kernel behavior is exactly as the original implementation.
This patch also ensures that as is normally the case, no call user data
will be present in the Call accepted / call connected packet sent back to
the caller
Future Changes on next patch:
There are cases however when call user data may be present in the call
accepted packet. According to the X.25 recommendation (ITU-T 10/96)
section 5.2.3.2 call user data may be present in the call accepted packet
provided the fast select facility is used. My next patch will include this
fast select utility and the ability to send up to 128 octets call user data
in the call accepted packet provided the fast select facility is used. I
am currently testing this, again with xot on linux and cisco.

This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the
same network device. Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook,
however. In practice, this restriction has not been problematic. It is
worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to
allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks.
The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info
structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in. Aside
from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct
net_device to an individual struct netpoll.
A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx
pointer. The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module
removal, and the lock should be uncontested.

This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device
will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll. The reason for
this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock
should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll; and 2) this is a first
step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the
same net_device.
The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure. As
such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved.

If the lock blocks, the server may send us a GRANTED message that
races with the reply to our LOCK request. Make sure that we catch
the GRANTED by queueing up our request on the nlm_blocked list
before we send off the first LOCK rpc call.
