Arthur Jones [Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:49:04 +0000 (01:49 -0700)]
edac: i5100 new intel chipset driver

Preliminary support for the Intel 5100 MCH.  CE and UE errors are reported
along with the current DIMM label information and other memory parameters.

Reasons why this is preliminary:

1) This chip has 2 independent memory controllers which, for best
   perforance, use interleaved accesses to the DDR2 memory.  This
   architecture does not map very well to the current edac data structures
   which depend on symmetric channel access to the interleaved data.
   Without core changes, the best I could do for now is to map both memory
   controllers to different csrows (first all ranks of controller 0, then
   all ranks of controller 1).  Someone much more familiar with the edac
   core than I will probably need to come up with a more general data
   structure to handle the interleaving and de-interleaving of the two
   memory controllers.

2) I have not yet tackled the de-interleaving of the rank/controller
   address space into the physical address space of the CPU.  There is
   nothing fundamentally missing, it is just ending up to be a lot of
   code, and I'd rather keep it separate for now, esp since it doesn't
   work yet...

3) The code depends on a particular i5100 chip select to DIMM mainboard
   chip select mapping.  This mapping seems obvious to me in order to
   support dual and single ranked memory, but it is not unique and DIMM
   labels could be wrong on other mainboards.  There is no way to query
   this mapping that I know of.

4) The code requires that the i5100 is in 32GB mode.  Only 4 ranks per
   controller, 2 ranks per DIMM are supported.  I do not have hardware
   (nor do I expect to have hardware anytime soon) for the 48GB (6 ranks
   per controller) mode.

5) The serial presence detect code should be broken out into a "real"
   i2c driver so that decode-dimms.pl can work.

NFS.  This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely
used and tested.

It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS
export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of
doing it, than through the kernel.

While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort
at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the
protocol).  This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we
are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way.

If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away,
which would have several advantages:

  - not having to maintain two versions
  - less confusion for users
  - no bugs due to kernel API changes

bsdacct: rename acct_gbls to bsd_acct_struct

After I fixed access to task->tgid in kernel/acct.c, Oleg pointed out some
bad side effects with this accounting vs pid namespaces interaction.  I.e.
 when some task in pid namespace sets this accounting up, this blocks all
the others from doing the same.  Restricting this to init namespace only
could help, but didn't look a graceful solution.

So here is the approach to make this accounting work with pid namespaces
properly.

The idea is simple - when a task dies it accounts itself in each namespace
it is visible from and which set the accounting up.

For example here are the commands run and the output of lastcomm from init
and sub namespaces:

init_ns# accton pacct
 sub_ns# accton pacct (this is a different file - sub ns is run in
                       a chroot-ed environment)
init_ns# cat /dev/null
 sub_ns# ls /dev/null
init_ns# accton
 sub_ns# accton

 sub_ns#  lastcomm -f pacct
ls                      0        [136,0]    0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30
accton                  0        [136,0]    0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30

init_ns# lastcomm -f pacct
accton                  root     pts/0      0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub
cat                     root     pts/1      0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30
ls                      root     pts/0      0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub
accton                  root     pts/1      0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30

That was the summary, the details are in patches.

This patch:

It will be visible in pid_namespace.h file, so fix its name to look better
outside the acct.c file.

16 years agoipc: do not use a negative value to re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing
Nadia Derbey [Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:48:08 +0000 (01:48 -0700)]
ipc: do not use a negative value to re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing

This patch proposes an alternative to the "magical
positive-versus-negative number trick" Andrew complained about last week
in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/24/418.

This had been introduced with the patches that scale msgmni to the amount
of lowmem.  With these patches, msgmni has a registered notification
routine that recomputes msgmni value upon memory add/remove or ipc
namespace creation/ removal.

When msgmni is changed from user space (i.e.  value written to the proc
file), that notification routine is unregistered, and the way to make it
registered back is to write a negative value into the proc file.  This is
the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick".

To fix this, a new proc file is introduced: /proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni.
This file acts as ON/OFF for msgmni automatic recomputing.

With this patch, the process is the following:
1) kernel boots in "automatic recomputing mode"
   /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni contains the value that has been computed (depends
                           on lowmem)
   /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni contains "1"

2) echo <val> > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
   . sets msg_ctlmni to <val>
   . de-activates automatic recomputing (i.e. if, say, some memory is added
     msgmni won't be recomputed anymore)
   . /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni now contains "0"

3) echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni
   . de-activates msgmni automatic recomputing
     this has the same effect as 2) except that msg_ctlmni's value stays
     blocked at its current value)

3) echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni
   . recomputes msgmni's value based on the current available memory size
     and number of ipc namespaces
   . re-activates automatic recomputing for msgmni.

Manfred Spraul [Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:48:06 +0000 (01:48 -0700)]
ipc/sem.c: rewrite undo list locking

The attached patch:
- reverses the locking order of ulp->lock and sem_lock:
  Previously, it was first ulp->lock, then inside sem_lock.
  Now it's the other way around.
- converts the undo structure to rcu.

Benefits:
- With the old locking order, IPC_RMID could not kfree the undo structures.
  The stale entries remained in the linked lists and were released later.
- The patch fixes a a race in semtimedop(): if both IPC_RMID and a semget() that
  recreates exactly the same id happen between find_alloc_undo() and sem_lock,
  then semtimedop() would access already kfree'd memory.

16 years agoidr: change the idr structure
Nadia Derbey [Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:47:57 +0000 (01:47 -0700)]
idr: change the idr structure

After scalability problems have been detected when using the sysV ipcs, I have
proposed to use an RCU based implementation of the IDR api instead (see
threads http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/11/212 and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/295).

This resulted in many people asking to convert the idr API and make it rcu
safe (because most of the code was duplicated and thus unmaintanable and
unreviewable).

So here is a first attempt.

The important change wrt to the idr API itself is during idr removes: idr
layers are freed after a grace period, instead of being moved to the free
list.

The important change wrt to ipcs, is that idr_find() can now be called
locklessly inside a rcu read critical section.

Here are the results I've got for the pmsg test sent by Manfred:

calgary iommu: use the first kernels TCE tables in kdump

kdump kernel fails to boot with calgary iommu and aacraid driver on a x366
box.  The ongoing dma's of aacraid from the first kernel continue to exist
until the driver is loaded in the kdump kernel.  Calgary is initialized
prior to aacraid and creation of new tce tables causes wrong dma's to
occur.  Here we try to get the tce tables of the first kernel in kdump
kernel and use them.  While in the kdump kernel we do not allocate new tce
tables but instead read the base address register contents of calgary
iommu and use the tables that the registers point to.  With these changes
the kdump kernel and hence aacraid now boots normally.

workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_UP_PREPARE) expects that if it returns
NOTIFY_BAD, _cpu_up() will send CPU_UP_CANCELED then.

However, this is not true since

The callback which has returned NOTIFY_BAD will not receive
CPU_UP_CANCELED.  Change the code to fulfil the CPU_UP_CANCELED logic if
CPU_UP_PREPARE fails.
