13 years agodrbd: fix disconnect/reconnect loop, if ping-timeout == ping-int
Lars Ellenberg [Wed, 9 Mar 2011 21:44:55 +0000 (22:44 +0100)]
drbd: fix disconnect/reconnect loop, if ping-timeout == ping-int

If there is no replication traffic within the idle timeout
(ping-int seconds), DRBD will send a P_PING,
and adjust the timeout to ping-timeout.

If there is no P_PING_ACK received within this ping-timeout,
DRBD finally drops the connection, and tries to re-establish it.

To decide which timeout was active, we compared the current timeout
with the ping-timeout, and dropped the connection, if that was the case.

By default, ping-int is 10 seconds, ping-timeout is 500 ms.

Unfortunately, if you configure ping-timeout to be the same as ping-int,
expiry of the idle-timeout had been mistaken for a missing ping ack,
and caused an immediate reconnection attempt.

Fix:
Allow both timeouts to be equal, use a local variable
to store which timeout is active.

xen/p2m/m2p/gnttab: Support GNTMAP_host_map in the M2P override.

We only supported the M2P (and P2M) override only for the
GNTMAP_contains_pte type mappings. Meaning that we grants
operations would "contain the machine address of the PTE to update"
If the flag is unset, then the grant operation is
"contains a host virtual address". The latter case means that
the Hypervisor takes care of updating our page table
(specifically the PTE entry) with the guest's MFN. As such we should
not try to do anything with the PTE. Previous to this patch
we would try to clear the PTE which resulted in Xen hypervisor
being upset with us:

(XEN) mm.c:1066:d0 Attempt to implicitly unmap a granted PTE c0100000ccc59067
(XEN) domain_crash called from mm.c:1067

(XEN) ----[ Xen-4.0-110228  x86_64  debug=y  Not tainted ]----

and crashing us.

This patch allows us to inhibit the PTE clearing in the PV guest
if the GNTMAP_contains_pte is not set.

On the m2p_remove_override path we provide the same parameter.

Sadly in the grant-table driver we do not have a mechanism to
tell m2p_remove_override whether to clear the PTE or not. Since
the grant-table driver is used by user-space, we can safely assume
that it operates only on PTE's. Hence the implementation for
it to work on !GNTMAP_contains_pte returns -EOPNOTSUPP. In the future
we can implement the support for this. It will require some extra
accounting structure to keep track of the page[i], and the flag.

The problem as explained by Vivek Goyal was:

".. that difference is that sync vs async requests. In the case of
a kernel thread submitting IO, [..] all the WRITES might be being
considered as async and will go in a different queue. If you mix those
with some READS, they are always sync and will go in differnet queue.
In presence of sync queue, CFQ will idle and choke up WRITES in
an attempt to improve latencies of READs.

In case of AIO [note: this is what QEMU qdisk is doing] , [..]
it is direct IO and both READS and WRITES will be considered SYNC
and will go in a single queue and no choking of WRITES will take place."

The solution is quite simple, tack on REQ_SYNC (which is
what the WRITE_ODIRECT macro points to) and the numbers go

* After media change, if the device opened without O_NONBLOCK,
  open_for_data() naturally fails with -ENOMEDIA and
  check_disk_change() is never called.  The media is known to be gone

  invalidation never happens.

  bypassed and cdrom_open() doesn't notice that the media is not there
  and check_disk_change() is called and invalidation happens.

There's nothing to be gained by avoiding calling check_disk_change()
on open failure.  Common cases end up calling check_disk_change()
anyway.  All we get is inconsistent behavior.

13 years agonext_pidmap: fix overflow condition
Linus Torvalds [Mon, 18 Apr 2011 17:35:30 +0000 (10:35 -0700)]
next_pidmap: fix overflow condition

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.

Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.

So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT.  The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).

[ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ]

powerpc/perf_event: Skip updating kernel counters if register value shrinks

Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners
to decrease between reads on POWER7.  This causes a problem with the way that
counters are updated.  Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the
top 32 bits are masked.  If the register value has decreased, this leaves us
with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters.  This patch
protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative.
This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing
the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.
