Markus Stockhausen 7e92e1d762 md/raid6 algorithms: improve test program
It is always helpful to have a test tool in place if we implement
new data critical algorithms. So add some test routines to the raid6
checker that can prove if the new xor_syndrome() works as expected.

Run through all permutations of start/stop pages per algorithm and
simulate a xor_syndrome() assisted rmw run. After each rmw check if
the recovery algorithm still confirms that the stripe is fine.

Markus Stockhausen fe5cbc6e06 md/raid6 algorithms: delta syndrome functions
v3: s-o-b comment, explanation of performance and descision for
the start/stop implementation

Implementing rmw functionality for RAID6 requires optimized syndrome
calculation. Up to now we can only generate a complete syndrome. The
target P/Q pages are always overwritten. With this patch we provide
a framework for inplace P/Q modification. In the first place simply
fill those functions with NULL values.

xor_syndrome() has two additional parameters: start & stop. These
will indicate the first and last page that are changing during a
rmw run. That makes it possible to avoid several unneccessary loops
and speed up calculation. The caller needs to implement the following
logic to make the functions work.

1) xor_syndrome(disks, start, stop, ...): "Remove" all data of source
blocks inside P/Q between (and including) start and end.

2) modify any block with start <= block <= stop

3) xor_syndrome(disks, start, stop, ...): "Reinsert" all data of
source blocks into P/Q between (and including) start and end.

Pages between start and stop that won't be changed should be filled
with a pointer to the kernel zero page. The reasons for not taking NULL
pages are:

1) Algorithms cross the whole source data line by line. Thus avoid
additional branches.

2) Having a NULL page avoids calculating the XOR P parity but still
need calulation steps for the Q parity. Depending on the algorithm
unrolling that might be only a difference of 2 instructions per loop.

The benchmark numbers of the gen_syndrome() functions are displayed in
the kernel log. Do the same for the xor_syndrome() functions. This
will help to analyze performance problems and give an rough estimate
how well the algorithm works. The choice of the fastest algorithm will
still depend on the gen_syndrome() performance.

With the start/stop page implementation the speed can vary a lot in real
life. E.g. a change of page 0 & page 15 on a stripe will be harder to
compute than the case where page 0 & page 1 are XOR candidates. To be not
to enthusiatic about the expected speeds we will run a worse case test
that simulates a change on the upper half of the stripe. So we do:

1) calculation of P/Q for the upper pages

2) continuation of Q for the lower (empty) pages

shli@kernel.org dabc4ec6ba raid5: handle expansion/resync case with stripe batching
expansion/resync can grab a stripe when the stripe is in batch list. Since all
stripes in batch list must be in the same state, we can't allow some stripes
run into expansion/resync. So we delay expansion/resync for stripe in batch

shli@kernel.org 59fc630b8b RAID5: batch adjacent full stripe write
stripe cache is 4k size. Even adjacent full stripe writes are handled in 4k
unit. Idealy we should use big size for adjacent full stripe writes. Bigger
stripe cache size means less stripes runing in the state machine so can reduce
cpu overhead. And also bigger size can cause bigger IO size dispatched to under
layer disks.

With below patch, we will automatically batch adjacent full stripe write
together. Such stripes will be added to the batch list. Only the first stripe
of the list will be put to handle_list and so run handle_stripe(). Some steps
of handle_stripe() are extended to cover all stripes of the list, including
ops_run_io, ops_run_biodrain and so on. With this patch, we have less stripes
running in handle_stripe() and we send IO of whole stripe list together to
increase IO size.

Stripes added to a batch list have some limitations. A batch list can only
include full stripe write and can't cross chunk boundary to make sure stripes
have the same parity disks. Stripes in a batch list must be in the same state
(no written, toread and so on). If a stripe is in a batch list, all new
read/write to add_stripe_bio will be blocked to overlap conflict till the batch
list is handled. The limitations will make sure stripes in a batch list be in
exactly the same state in the life circly.

I did test running 160k randwrite in a RAID5 array with 32k chunk size and 6
PCIe SSD. This patch improves around 30% performance and IO size to under layer
disk is exactly 32k. I also run a 4k randwrite test in the same array to make
sure the performance isn't changed with the patch.

NeilBrown ac8fa4196d md: allow resync to go faster when there is competing IO.
When md notices non-sync IO happening while it is trying
to resync (or reshape or recover) it slows down to the
set minimum.

The default minimum might have made sense many years ago
but the drives have become faster.  Changing the default
to match the times isn't really a long term solution.

This patch changes the code so that instead of waiting until the speed
has dropped to the target, it just waits until pending requests
have completed.
This means that the delay inserted is a function of the speed
of the devices.

Testing shows that:
 - for some loads, the resync speed is unchanged.  For those loads
   increasing the minimum doesn't change the speed either.
   So this is a good result.  To increase resync speed under such
   loads we would probably need to increase the resync window
   size.

 - for other loads, resync speed does increase to a reasonable
   fraction (e.g. 20%) of maximum possible, and throughput of
   the load only drops a little bit (e.g. 10%)

 - for other loads, throughput of the non-sync load drops quite a bit
   more.  These seem to be latency-sensitive loads.

So it isn't a perfect solution, but it is mostly an improvement.

NeilBrown 09314799e4 md: remove 'go_faster' option from ->sync_request()
This option is not well justified and testing suggests that
it hardly ever makes any difference.

The comment suggests there might be a need to wait for non-resync
activity indicated by ->nr_waiting, however raise_barrier()
already waits for all of that.

So just remove it to simplify reasoning about speed limiting.

This allows us to remove a 'FIXME' comment from raid5.c as that
never used the flag.

NeilBrown 50c37b136a md: don't require sync_min to be a multiple of chunk_size.
There is really no need for sync_min to be a multiple of
chunk_size, and values read from here often aren't.
That means you cannot read a value and expect to be able
to write it back later.

So remove the chunk_size check, and round down to a multiple
of 4K, to be sure everything works with 4K-sector devices.

2. The node initiating re-add, gathers the bitmaps of all nodes

Goldwyn Rodrigues a6da4ef85c md: re-add a failed disk
This adds the capability of re-adding a failed disk by
writing "re-add" to /sys/block/mdXX/md/dev-YYY/state.

This facilitates adding disks which have encountered a temporary
error such as a network disconnection/hiccup in an iSCSI device,
or a SAN cable disconnection which has been restored. In such
a situation, you do not need to remove and re-add the device.
Writing re-add to the failed device's state would add it again
to the array and perform the recovery of only the blocks which
were written after the device failed.

This works for generic md, and is not related to clustering. However,
this patch is to ease re-add operations listed above in clustering
environments.

Bjorn Helgaas 9fbbda5c8e ia64/PCI: Treat all host bridge Address Space Descriptors (even consumers) as windows
Prior to c770cb4cb5 ("PCI: Mark invalid BARs as unassigned"), if we tried
to claim a PCI BAR but could not find an upstream bridge window that
matched it, we complained but still allowed the device to be enabled.

c770cb4cb5 broke devices that previously worked (mptsas and igb in the
case Tony reported, but it could be any devices) because it marks those
BARs as IORESOURCE_UNSET, which makes pci_enable_device() complain and
return failure:

  igb 0000:81:00.0: can't enable device: BAR 0 [mem size 0x00020000] not assigned
  igb: probe of 0000:81:00.0 failed with error -22

The underlying cause is an ACPI Address Space Descriptor for a PCI host
bridge window that is marked as "consumer".  This is a firmware defect:
resources that are produced on the downstream side of a bridge should be
marked "producer".  But rejecting these BARs that we previously allowed is
a functionality regression, and firmware has not used the producer/consumer
bit consistently, so we can't rely on it anyway.

Stop checking the producer/consumer bit, and assume all bridge Address
Space Descriptors are for bridge windows.

Note that this change does not affect I/O Port or Fixed Location I/O Port
Descriptors, which are commonly used for the [io 0x0cf8-0x0cff] config
access range.  That range is a "consumer" range and should not be treated
as a window.

temporary open here in the special-stateid case, as we do for read and

Ben Serebrin 085e68eeaf KVM: VMX: Preserve host CR4.MCE value while in guest mode.
The host's decision to enable machine check exceptions should remain
in force during non-root mode.  KVM was writing 0 to cr4 on VCPU reset
and passed a slightly-modified 0 to the vmcs.guest_cr4 value.

Tested: Built.
On earlier version, tested by injecting machine check
while a guest is spinning.

Before the change, if guest CR4.MCE==0, then the machine check is
escalated to Catastrophic Error (CATERR) and the machine dies.
If guest CR4.MCE==1, then the machine check causes VMEXIT and is
handled normally by host Linux. After the change, injecting a machine
check causes normal Linux machine check handling.

Here's the big tty/serial driver update for 4.1-rc1.
 
 It was delayed for a bit due to some questions surrounding some of the
 console command line parsing changes that are in here.  There's still
 one tiny regression for people who were previously putting multiple
 console command lines and expecting them all to be ignored for some odd
 reason, but Peter is working on fixing that.  If not, I'll send a revert
 for the offending patch, but I have faith that Peter can address it.
 
 Other than the console work here, there's the usual serial driver
 updates and changes, and a buch of 8250 reworks to try to make that
 driver easier to maintain over time, and have it support more devices in
 the future.

Linus Torvalds 8f443e2372 Revert "ocfs2: incorrect check for debugfs returns"
This reverts commit e2ac55b6a8.

Huang Ying reports that this causes a hang at boot with debugfs disabled.

It is true that the debugfs error checks are kind of confusing, and this
code certainly merits more cleanup and thinking about it, but there's
something wrong with the trivial "check not just for NULL, but for error
pointers too" patch.

Yes, with debugfs disabled, we will end up setting the o2hb_debug_dir
pointer variable to an error pointer (-ENODEV), and then continue as if
everything was fine.  But since debugfs is disabled, all the _users_ of
that pointer end up being compiled away, so even though the pointer can
not be dereferenced, that's still fine.

So it's confusing and somewhat questionable, but the "more correct"
error checks end up causing more trouble than they fix.

Nathan Lynch f80f6531b4 ARM: 8344/1: VDSO: honor CONFIG_VDSO in Makefile
When CONFIG_VDSO=n, the build normally does not enter arch/arm/vdso/
because arch/arm/Makefile does not add it to core-y.

However, if the user runs 'make arch/arm/vdso/' the VDSO targets will
get visited.  This is because the VDSO Makefile itself does not
consider the value of CONFIG_VDSO.

It is arguably better and more consistent behavior to generate an
empty built-in.o when CONFIG_VDSO=n and the user attempts to build
arch/arm/vdso/.  It's nicer because it doesn't try to build things
that Kconfig dependencies are there to prevent (e.g. the dependency on
AEABI), and it's less confusing than building objects that won't be
used in the final image.

Paul Mackerras 66feed61cd KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use msgsnd for signalling threads on POWER8
This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within
the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS
interrupt controller.  This includes waking secondary threads to run
the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the
interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting.

Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32
vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the
change:

 rm_entry:     3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples)
  rm_exit:     4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples)
  rm_intr:     1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples)

and this after the change:

 rm_entry:     3060.1ns (212 - 65138, 953873 samples)
  rm_exit:     4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples)
  rm_intr:     1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples)

for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.

The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host
kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds
with this change.

The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for
good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21
and a little-endian POWER8 host.

Paul Mackerras 6af27c847a KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Streamline guest entry and exit
On entry to the guest, secondary threads now wait for the primary to
switch the MMU after loading up most of their state, rather than before.
This means that the secondary threads get into the guest sooner, in the
common case where the secondary threads get to kvmppc_hv_entry before
the primary thread.

On exit, the first thread out increments the exit count and interrupts
the other threads (to get them out of the guest) before saving most
of its state, rather than after.  That means that the other threads
exit sooner and means that the first thread doesn't spend so much
time waiting for the other threads at the point where the MMU gets
switched back to the host.

This pulls out the code that increments the exit count and interrupts
other threads into a separate function, kvmhv_commence_exit().
This also makes sure that r12 and vcpu->arch.trap are set correctly
in some corner cases.

Statistics from /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/vm*/vcpu*/timings show the
improvement.  Aggregating across vcpus for a guest with 32 vcpus,
8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, gives this before the change:

 rm_entry:     avg 4537.3ns (222 - 48444, 1068878 samples)
  rm_exit:     avg 4787.6ns (152 - 165490, 1010717 samples)
  rm_intr:     avg 1673.6ns (12 - 341304, 3818691 samples)

and this after the change:

 rm_entry:     avg 3427.7ns (232 - 68150, 1118921 samples)
  rm_exit:     avg 4716.0ns (12 - 150720, 1119477 samples)
  rm_intr:     avg 1614.8ns (12 - 522436, 3850432 samples)

showing a substantial reduction in the time spent per guest entry in
the real-mode guest entry code, and smaller reductions in the real
mode guest exit and interrupt handling times.  (The test was to start
the guest and boot Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.)
