2011-07-27bonding: fix string comparison errorsAndy Gospodarek1-62/+71
When a bond contains a device where one name is the subset of another (eth1 and eth10, for example), one cannot properly set the primary device or the currently active device. This was reported and based on work by Takuma Umeya. I also verified the problem and tested that this fix resolves it. V2: A few did not like the the current code or my changes, so I refactored bonding_store_primary and bonding_store_active_slave to be a bit cleaner, dropped the use of strnicmp since we did not really need the comparison to be case insensitive, and formatted the input string from sysfs so a comparison to IFNAMSIZ could be used. I also discovered an error in bonding_store_active_slave that would modify bond->primary_slave rather than bond->curr_active_slave before forcing the bonding driver to choose a new active slave.

After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in their skbs.

Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by some drivers as they keep state information in skbs. This patch adds a flag marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path. Drivers are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can handle shared skbs.

2011-07-27sparc: Detect and handle UltraSPARC-T3 cpu types.David S. Miller7-4/+50
The cpu compatible string we look for is "SPARC-T3". As far as memset/memcpy optimizations go, we treat this chip the same as Niagara-T2/T2+. Use cache initializing stores for memset, and use perfetch, FPU block loads, cache initializing stores, and block stores for copies. We use the Niagara-T2 perf support, since T3 is a close relative in this regard. Later we'll add support for the new events T3 can report, plus enable T3's new "sample" mode. For now I haven't added any new ELF hwcap flags. We probably need to add a couple, for example: T2 and T3 both support the population count instruction in hardware. T3 supports VIS3 instructions, including support (finally) for partitioned shift. One can also now move directly between float and integer registers. T3 supports instructions meant to help with Galois Field and other HPC calculations, such as XOR multiply. Also there are "OP and negate" instructions, for example "fnmul" which is multiply-and-negate. T3 recognizes the transactional memory opcodes, however since transactional memory isn't supported: 1) 'commit' behaves as a NOP and 2) 'chkpt' always branches 3) 'rdcps' returns all zeros and 4) 'wrcps' behaves as a NOP. So we'll need about 3 new elf capability flags in the end to represent all of these things. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-07-28md/raid10: Handle read errors during recovery better.NeilBrown1-33/+121
Currently when we get a read error during recovery, we simply abort the recovery. Instead, repeat the read in page-sized blocks. On successful reads, write to the target. On read errors, record a bad block on the destination, and only if that fails do we abort the recovery. As we now retry reads we need to know where we read from. This was in bi_sector but that can be changed during a read attempt. So store the correct from_addr and to_addr in the r10_bio for later access. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown<neilb@suse.de>
2011-07-28md/raid10: simplify read error handling during recovery.NeilBrown1-5/+4
If a read error is detected during recovery the code currently fails the read device. This isn't really necessary. recovery_request_write will signal a write error to end_sync_write and it will record a write error on the destination device which will record a bad block there or kick it from the array.

We already attempt to fix read errors found during normal IO and a 'repair' process. It is best to try to repair them at any time they are found, so move a test so that during sync and check a read error will be corrected by over-writing with good data. If both (all) devices have known bad blocks in the sync section we won't try to fix even though the bad blocks might not overlap. That should be considered later. Also if we hit a read error during recovery we don't try to fix it. It would only be possible to fix if there were at least three copies of data, which is not very common with RAID10. But it should still be considered later. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2011-07-28md/raid10: avoid reading from known bad blocks - part 1NeilBrown2-16/+129
This patch just covers the basic read path: 1/ read_balance needs to check for badblocks, and return not only the chosen slot, but also how many good blocks are available there. 2/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to different devices as different bad blocks on different devices could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one device, but can still be served by the array. This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests per bio. This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments' On read error we currently just fail the request if another target cannot handle the whole request. Next patch refines that a bit.
