clockevents: fix reprogramming decision in oneshot broadcast

Resolve the following regression of a choppy, almost unusable laptop:

 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/7/299
 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9525

A previous version of the code did the reprogramming of the broadcast
device in the return from idle code. This was removed, but the logic in
tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() was kept the same.

When a broadcast interrupt happens we signal the expiry to all CPUs
which have an expired event. If none of the CPUs has an expired event,
which can happen in dyntick mode, then we reprogram the broadcast
device. We do not reprogram otherwise, but this is only correct if all
CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state have been woken up.

The code ignores, that there might be pending not yet expired events on
other CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state. So the delivery of
those events can be delayed for quite a time.

Change the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() function to check for CPUs,
which are in broadcast state and are not woken up by the current event,
and enforce the rearming of the broadcast device for those CPUs.

16 years agohugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl
Nishanth Aravamudan [Tue, 18 Dec 2007 00:20:12 +0000 (16:20 -0800)]
hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl

While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I
became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient:

1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted
patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with
a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the
dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a
per-node basis seems inconsistent to me.

2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs
mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota
would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored.

To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node
control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate
sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark
for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low
watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition

nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0

indicates the same administrative setting as

hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1

Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a
per-mount basis.

A few caveats:

1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is
incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then
try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal
huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is
benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked
correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync.

2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the
number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as
this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be
allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased
sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.

Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot,
modified to use the new sysctl.

but this not work with UML, I guess (only guess) there is a deadlock -
gdb waits for UML and UML waits for gdb.

When clone() is called with SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags, gdb see this
as PTRACE_EVENT_FORK not as PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE and remove breakpoints
from child and at the same time from traced process, because either
have the same address space.

Maybe it is possible to do fix in gdb, but I'm not sure if there is
easy way to find out if traced and child processes share memory. So I

libata: fix ATAPI draining

With ATAPI transfer chunk size properly programmed, libata PIO HSM

idea to suppress trailing data warning for misc ATAPI commands as
there can be many of them per command - for example, if the chunk size
is 16 and the drive tries to transfer 510 bytes, there can be 31
trailing data messages.

This patch makes the following updates to libata ATAPI PIO HSM
implementation.

* Make it drain full spurious chunks.

* Suppress trailing data warning message for misc commands.

* Put limit on how many bytes can be drained.

* If odd, round up consumed bytes and the number of bytes to be

Tejun Heo [Sat, 15 Dec 2007 06:05:03 +0000 (15:05 +0900)]
libata-acpi: implement dev->gtf_cache and evaluate _GTF right after _STM during resume

On certain implementations, _GTF evaluation depends on preceding _STM
and both can be pretty picky about the configuration.  Using _GTM
result cached during controller initialization satisfies the most
neurotic _STM implementation.  However, libata evaluates _GTF after
reset during device configuration and the hardware state can be
different from what _GTF expects and can cause evaluation failure.

This patch adds dev->gtf_cache and updates ata_dev_get_GTF() such that
it uses the cached value if available.  Cache is cleared with a call
to ata_acpi_clear_gtf().

Because for SATA ACPI nodes _GTF must be evaluated after _SDD which
can't be done till IDENTIFY is complete, _GTF caching from
ata_acpi_on_resume() is used only for IDE ACPI nodes.

Tejun Heo [Sat, 15 Dec 2007 06:05:02 +0000 (15:05 +0900)]
libata-acpi: implement and use ata_acpi_init_gtm()

_GTM fetches currently configured transfer mode while _STM configures
controller according to _GTM parameter and prepares transfer mode
configuration TFs for _GTF.  In many cases _GTM and _STM
implementations are quite brittle and can't cope with configuration
changed by libata.

libata does not depend on ATA ACPI to configure devices.  The only
reason libata performs _GTM and _STM are to make _GTF evaluation
succeed and libata also doesn't care about how _GTF TFs configure
transfer mode.  It overrides that configuration anyway, so from
libata's POV, it doesn't matter what value is feeded to _STM as long
as evaluation succeeds for _STM and following _GTF.

This patch adds dev->__acpi_init_gtm and store initial _GTM values on
host initialization before modified by reset and mode configuration.
If the field is valid, ata_acpi_init_gtm() returns pointer to the
saved _GTM structure; otherwise, NULL.

This saved value is used for _STM during resume and peek at
BIOS/firmware programmed initial timing for later use.  The accessor
is there to make building w/o ACPI easy as dev->__acpi_init doesn't
exist if ACPI is not enabled.

On driver detach, the initial BIOS configuration is restored by
executing _STM with the initial _GTM values such that the next driver
can also use the initial BIOS configured values.

(1) Essential data in the rfkill structure were missing.
(2) The rfkill structure was initialized after the LED initialization.
(3) There was a minor memory leak if the radio LED structure was inited.

Once the above problems were fixed, additional difficulties were noted:

(4) The radio LED was in the wrong state at startup.
(5) The radio switch had to be manipulated twice for each state change.
(6) A circular mutex locking situation existed.
(7) If rfkill-input is built as a module, it is not automatically loaded.

usb: Remove broken optimisation in OHCI IRQ handler

The OHCI IRQ handler has an optimisation that avoids reading some
chip registers when the controller reports that the interrupt was
triggered *only* because completed requests were written into the
controller's "done list" and handed to the host.

This mechanism can't be used on some controllers.  Among others, it
fails for the SA1111 and the AMCC 440EP PowerPC processor.
