[DCCP] ccid3: Shift window counter computation

 This puts the window counter computation [RFC 4342, 8.1] into a separate
 function which is called whenever a new packet is ready for immediate
 transmission in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet.

Justification:

 The window counter update was previously computed after the packet was sent. This has
 two drawbacks, both fixed by this patch:
   1) re-compute another timestamp almost directly after the packet was sent (expensive),
   2) the CCVal for the window counter is needed at the instant the packet is sent.

Further details:

 The initialisation of the window counter is left in the state NO_SENT, as before.
 The algorithm will do nothing if either RTT is initialised to 0 (which is ok) or if
 the RTT value remains below 4 microseconds (which is almost pathological).

[DCCP] ccid3: Sanity-check RTT samples

CCID3 performance depends much on the accuracy of RTT samples.  If RTT
samples grow too large, performance can be catastrophically poor.

To limit the amount of possible damage in such cases, the patch
 * introduces an upper limit which identifies a maximum `sane' RTT value;
 * uses a macro to enforce this upper limit.

Using a macro was given preference, since it is necessary to identify the
calling function in the warning message. Since exceeding this threshold
identifies a critical condition, DCCP_CRIT is used and not DCCP_WARN.

In migrating towards using the newer functions scaled_div/scaled_div32
for TFRC computations mapped from floating-point onto integer arithmetic,
this completes the last stage of modifications.

In particular, the overflow case for computing X_calc is circumvented by
 * breaking the computation into two stages
 * the first stage, res = (s*1E6)/R, cannot overflow due to use of u64
 * in the second stage, res = (res*1E6)/f, overflow on u32 is avoided due

   and (ii) issuing a warning message into the system log (since very likely
   there is a problem somewhere else with the parameters)

[DCCP] ccid3: Simplify calculation for reverse lookup of p

 This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the
 first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the
 two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection.

 Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this
 case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%.

Background:

 The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval
 should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling
 by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds.
 This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage
 computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes
 fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32.
 This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.

17 years agoMake SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary again
Linus Torvalds [Mon, 11 Dec 2006 17:28:46 +0000 (09:28 -0800)] 
Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary again

As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary.  It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)

That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba6d71416712e798276bf7c40b64e6e5:
"[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").

This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding.  And /proc/version simply uses a different string.

To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface

web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net

mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
  (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)

The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture.  The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace.  Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.

Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.

Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process.  kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected.  In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode.  Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm).  Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.

The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests.  All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host.  For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.

SMP hosts and UP guests are supported.  At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.

Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch.  We plan to address this in two ways:

- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables

Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU.  Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization.  Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.

In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.

Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):

- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
  virtual APIC.  We are working on a fix.  A temporary workaround is to
  use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work.  That's also true for qemu, so it's
  probably a problem with the device model.

[PATCH] fdtable: Implement new pagesize-based fdtable allocator

This patch provides an improved fdtable allocation scheme, useful for
expanding fdtable file descriptor entries.  The main focus is on the fdarray,
as its memory usage grows 128 times faster than that of an fdset.

The allocation algorithm sizes the fdarray in such a way that its memory usage
increases in easy page-sized chunks. The overall algorithm expands the allowed
size in powers of two, in order to amortize the cost of invoking vmalloc() for
larger allocation sizes. Namely, the following sizes for the fdarray are
considered, and the smallest that accommodates the requested fd count is
chosen:

    pagesize / 4
    pagesize / 2
    pagesize      <- memory allocator switch point
    pagesize * 2
    pagesize * 4
    ...etc...

Unlike the current implementation, this allocation scheme does not require a
loop to compute the optimal fdarray size, and can be done in efficient
straightline code.

Furthermore, since the fdarray overflows the pagesize boundary long before any
of the fdsets do, it makes sense to optimize run-time by allocating both
fdsets in a single swoop.  Even together, they will still be, by far, smaller
than the fdarray.  The fdtable->open_fds is now used as the anchor for the
fdset memory allocation.

[PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size

Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the

fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).

In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.

Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This

[PATCH] dio: lock refcount operations

The wait_for_more_bios() function name was poorly chosen.  While looking to
clean it up it I noticed that the dio struct refcounting between the bio
completion and dio submission paths was racey.

The bio submission path was simply freeing the dio struct if
atomic_dec_and_test() indicated that it dropped the final reference.

The aio bio completion path was dereferencing its dio struct pointer *after
dropping its reference* based on the remaining number of references.

These two paths could race and result in the aio bio completion path
dereferencing a freed dio, though this was not observed in the wild.

This moves the refcount under the bio lock so that bio completion can drop
its reference and decide to wake all in one atomic step.

Once testing and waking is locked dio_await_one() can test its sleeping
condition and mark itself uninterruptible under the lock.  It gets simpler
and wait_for_more_bios() disappears.

The addition of the interrupt masking spin lock acquiry in dio_bio_submit()
looks alarming.  This lock acquiry existed in that path before the recent
dio completion patch set.  We shouldn't expect significant performance
regression from returning to the behaviour that existed before the
completion clean up work.

[PATCH] dio: only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED

The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry
function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core.  direct_io_worker() has
historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return
codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case.  It did this by trying to keep
conditionals in sync.  direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was
going to call aio_complete().  It would reverse the test and wait and free the
dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to.

Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong.  'ret' could be a negative
errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to
finished_one_bio().  direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers
wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called.  In the
future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete()
would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops.

The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down
to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant
that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED.
direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to
drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call
aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount.
direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count
by waiting for bios to drain.  It does this for sync ops, of course, and for
partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw
errors during submission.

This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as
aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio.  Instead we return the return
code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete().  This is
purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call
aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size.

Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers
no longer have to translate for it.  XFS needs to be careful not to free
resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned.
 We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC
aio+dio writes.

[PATCH] dio: formalize bio counters as a dio reference count

Previously we had two confusing counts of bio progress.  'bio_count' was
decremented as bios were processed and freed by the dio core.  It was used to
indicate final completion of the dio operation.  'bios_in_flight' reflected
how many bios were between submit_bio() and bio->end_io.  It was used by the
sync path to decide when to wake up and finish completing bios and was ignored
by the async path.

This patch collapses the two notions into one notion of a dio reference count.
 bios hold a dio reference when they're between submit_bio and bio->end_io.

Since bios_in_flight was only used in the sync path it is now equivalent to
dio->refcount - 1 which accounts for direct_io_worker() holding a reference
for the duration of the operation.

dio_bio_complete() -> finished_one_bio() was called from the sync path after
finding bios on the list that the bio->end_io function had deposited.
finished_one_bio() can not drop the dio reference on behalf of these bios now
because bio->end_io already has.  The is_async test in finished_one_bio()
meant that it never actually did anything other than drop the bio_count for
sync callers.  So we remove its refcount decrement, don't call it from
dio_bio_complete(), and hoist its call up into the async dio_bio_complete()
caller after an explicit refcount decrement.  It is renamed dio_complete_aio()
to reflect the remaining work it actually does.

This set of patches cleans up the completion phase with the goal of removing
the complexity that lead to these bugs.  We end up with one path that
calculates the result of the operation after all off the bios have completed.
We decide when to generate a result of the operation using that path based on
the final release of a refcount on the dio structure.

I tried to progress towards the final state in steps that were relatively easy
to understand.  Each step should compile but I only tested the final result of
having all the patches applied.

I've tested these on low end PC drives with aio-stress, the direct IO tests I
could manage to get running in LTP, orasim, and some home-brew functional
tests.

In http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/21/103 IBM reports success with ext2 and ext3
running DIO LTP tests.  They found that XFS bug which has since been addressed
in the patch series.

This patch:

The mechanics which decide the result of a direct IO operation were duplicated
in the sync and async paths.

The async path didn't check page_errors which can manifest as silently
returning success when the final pointer in an operation faults and its
matching file region is filled with zeros.

The sync path and async path differed in whether they passed errors to the
caller's dio->end_io operation.  The async path was passing errors to it which
trips an assertion in XFS, though it is apparently harmless.

This centralizes the completion phase of dio ops in one place.  AIO will now
return EFAULT consistently and all paths fall back to the previously sync
behaviour of passing the number of bytes 'transferred' to the dio->end_io
callback, regardless of errors.

dio_await_completion() doesn't have to propogate EIO from non-uptodate bios
now that it's being propogated through dio_complete() via dio->io_error.  This
lets it return void which simplifies its sole caller.

stripe_to_pdidx finds the index of the parity disk for a given stripe.  It
assumes raid5 in that it uses "disks-1" to determine the number of data disks.

This is incorrect for raid6 but fortunately the two usages cancel each other
out.  The only way that 'data_disks' affects the calculation of pd_idx in
raid5_compute_sector is when it is divided into the sector number.  But as
that sector number is calculated by multiplying in the wrong value of
'data_disks' the division produces the right value.

So it is innocuous but needs to be fixed.

Also change the calculation of raid_disks in compute_blocknr to make it
more obviously correct (it seems at first to always use disks-1 too).

If a bypass-the-cache read fails, we simply try again through the cache.  If
it fails again it will trigger normal recovery precedures.

update 1:

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

1/
  chunk_aligned_read and retry_aligned_read assume that
      data_disks == raid_disks - 1
  which is not true for raid6.
  So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data.

2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio
   (to test BIO_UPTODATE).

3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting
   a bio for aligned-read

4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev,
   so we need to invalidate the segment counts.

5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes.
   This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still
   available in the end_io routine.  Fortunately
   bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so
   we can stuff it in there.

6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

update 2:

1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried
   via the normal method (stripe cache).  As we cannot be sure that
   we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to
   allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried
   and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried.
   When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to
   the list, not to single-bio...

2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed

[PATCH] sched: call tasklet less frequently

Trigger softirq less frequently

We trigger the softirq before this patch using offset of sd->interval.
However, if the queue is busy then it is sufficient to schedule the softirq
with sd->interval * busy_factor.

So we modify the calculation of the next time to balance by taking
the interval added to last_balance again. This is only the
right value if the idle/busy situation continues as is.

There are two potential trouble spots:
- If the queue was idle and now gets busy then we call rebalance
  early. However, that is not a problem because we will then use
  the longer interval for the next period.

- If the queue was busy and becomes idle then we potentially
  wait too long before rebalancing. However, when the task
  goes idle then idle_balance is called. We add another calculation
  of the next balance time based on sd->interval in idle_balance
  so that we will rebalance soon.

V2->V3:
- Calculate rebalance time based on current jiffies and not
  based on the jiffies at the last time we load balanced.
  We no longer rely on staggering and therefore we can
  affort to do this now.

V3->V4:
- Use functions to do jiffy comparisons.

[PATCH] sched: move idle status calculation into rebalance_tick()

Perform the idle state determination in rebalance_tick.

If we separate balancing from sched_tick then we also need to determine the
idle state in rebalance_tick.

V2->V3
Remove useless idlle != 0 check. Checking nr_running seems
to be sufficient. Thanks Suresh.

[PATCH] sched: extract load calculation from rebalance_tick

A load calculation is always done in rebalance_tick() in addition to the real
load balancing activities that only take place when certain jiffie counts have
been reached.  Move that processing into a separate function and call it
directly from scheduler_tick().

Also extract the time slice handling from scheduler_tick and put it into a
separate function.  Then we can clean up scheduler_tick significantly.  It
will no longer have any gotos.

[PATCH] sched: remove staggering of load balancing

Timer interrupts already are staggered.  We do not need an additional layer of
time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a reasonably small
portion of the time slice.

For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization later
that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has the same effect as
load staggering.

17 years ago[PATCH] sched domain: increase the SMT busy rebalance interval

[PATCH] sched domain: increase the SMT busy rebalance interval

With SMT, if the logical processor is busy, load balance happens for every
8msec(min)-16msec(max).  There is no need to do this often, as this is just
for fairness(to maintain uniform runqueue lengths) and default time slice
anyhow is 100msec.

Appended patch increases this interval to 64msec(min)-128msec(max) when the
logical processor is busy.
