  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

will give me this:

  =======================================================
  [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
  2.6.21-rc2-g562aa1d4-dirty #7
  -------------------------------------------------------
  bash/1282 is trying to acquire lock:
   (&cpu_base->lock_key){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f17e>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xc6/0x240

  but task is already holding lock:
   (&cpu_base->lock_key#2){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f174>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xbc/0x240

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

This happens because we have the following code in kernel/hrtimer.c:

  migrate_hrtimers(int cpu)
  [...]
  old_base = &per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu);
  new_base = &get_cpu_var(hrtimer_bases);
  [...]
  spin_lock(&new_base->lock);
  spin_lock(&old_base->lock);

Which means the spinlocks are taken in an order which depends on which cpu
gets shut down from which other cpu. Therefore lockdep complains that there
might be an ABBA deadlock. Since migrate_hrtimers() gets only called on
cpu hotplug it's safe to assume that it isn't executed concurrently on a

The same problem exists in kernel/timer.c: migrate_timers().

As pointed out by Christian Borntraeger one possible solution to avoid
the locking order complaints would be to make sure that the locks are
always taken in the same order. E.g. by taking the lock of the cpu with
the lower number first.

To achieve this we introduce two new spinlock functions double_spin_lock
and double_spin_unlock which lock or unlock two locks in a given order.

john stultz [Mon, 5 Mar 2007 08:30:50 +0000 (00:30 -0800)] 
[PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426

The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.

It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.

Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).

This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

Many places in the raid5 code used "conf->raid_disks-1" to mean "number of
data disks".  With raid6 that had to be changed to "conf->raid_disk -
conf->max_degraded" or similar.  One place was missed.

This bug means that if a raid6 reshape were aborted in the middle the
recorded position would be wrong.  On restart it would either fail (as the
position wasn't on an appropriate boundary) or would leave a section of the
array unreshaped, causing data corruption.

[PATCH] vmi: pit override

The time_init_hook in paravirt-ops no longer functions in the correct manner
after the integration of the hrtimers code.  The problem is that now the call
path for time initialization is:

  time_init :
       late_time_init = hpet_time_init;

  late_time_init -> hpet_time_init:
       setup_pit_timer (BAD)
       do_time_init --> (via paravirt.h)
          time_init_hook --> (via arch_hooks.h)
              time_init_hook (in SUBARCH/setup.c)

If this isn't confusing enough, the paravirt case goes through an indirect
function pointer in the paravirt-ops table.  The problem is, by the time the
paravirt hook is called, the pit timer is already enabled.

But paravirt guests have their own timer, and don't want to use the PIT.
Rather than intensify the struggle for power going on here, just make it all
nice and simple and just unconditionally do all timer setup in the
late_time_init hook.  This also has the advantage of enabling timers in the
same place in all code paths, so everyone has the same bugs and we don't have
outliers who break other code because they turn on timer too early or too
late.

So the paravirt-ops time init function is now by default hpet_time_init, which
is the time init function used for native hardware.  Paravirt guests have the
chance to override this when they setup the paravirt-ops table, and should
need no change.

purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly
represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be
interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled).

To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time,
that is scheduled time.  So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it
into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along.  This allows the tsc.c

backends.

It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct

2) The interrupt handler can no longer adjust xtime due to nested lock
   acquisition.  Drop this.  We don't need to check for wallclock time at
   every tick, it can be done in userspace instead.

3) Add a bypass to disable noidle operation.  This is useful as a last
   minute workaround, or testing measure.

4) The code to skip the IO_APIC timer testing (no_timer_check) should be

disabled no interrupts should be delivered from that device.

17 years ago[PATCH] msi: fix up the msi enable/disable logic
Eric W. Biederman [Mon, 5 Mar 2007 08:30:10 +0000 (00:30 -0800)] 
[PATCH] msi: fix up the msi enable/disable logic

enable/disable_msi_mode have several side effects which keeps them from being
generally useful.  So this patch replaces them with with two much more
targeted functions: msi_set_enable and msix_set_enable.

This patch makes pci_dev->msi_enabled and pci_dev->msix_enabled the definitive
way to test if linux has enabled the msi capability, and has the appropriate
msi data structures set up.

This patch ensures that while writing the msi messages in save/restore and
during device initialization we have the msi capability disabled so we don't
get into races.  The pci spec requires that we do not have the msi capability
enabled and the msi messages unmasked while we write the messages.  Completely
disabling the capability is overkill but it is easy :)

Care has been taken so we never have both a msi capability and intx enabled
simultaneously.  We haven't run into a problem yet but better safe then sorry.

17 years ago[PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disabling
Eric W. Biederman [Mon, 5 Mar 2007 08:30:07 +0000 (00:30 -0800)] 
[PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disabling

In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the
hardware does not have an msi capability enabled.  Currently the code has been
calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that.  However disable_msi_mode
has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is
compiled in so it isn't really appropriate.

Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix
capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects.

pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and
clearing the msi enable bit.  A device that is not allowed to perform bus
mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those
are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering.  So the call
in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant.

quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off.

KVM: Per-vcpu inodes

Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM.  This has the following
benefits:

 - the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
   every ioctl()
 - the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
   KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
   userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
   from the fd used to make the call

Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects.  But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.
