Pull block IO driver bits from Jens Axboe: "As I mentioned in the core block pull request, due to real life circumstances the driver pull request would be late. Now it looks like -rc2 late... On the plus side, apart form the rsxx update, these are all things that I could argue could go in later in the cycle as they are fixes and not features. So even though things are late, it's not ALL bad. The pull request contains: - Updates to bcache, all bug fixes, from Kent. - A pile of drbd bug fixes (no big features this time!). - xen blk front/back fixes. - rsxx driver updates, some of them deferred form 3.10.

2013-07-10Add support driver for Intel Rapid Start TechnologyMatthew Garrett1-0/+21
Intel Rapid Start Technology is a firmware-based suspend-to-disk implementation. Once placed in S3, the device will wake once either a timeout elapses or the battery reaches a critical level. It will then resume to the firmware and copy the contents of RAM to a specialised partition, and then power off the machine. If the user turns the machine back on the firmware will copy the contents of the partition back to RAM and then resume from S3 as normal. This driver provides an interface for configuring the wakeup events and timeout. It still requires firmware support and an appropriate suspend partition.

2013-07-08perf tools: fix a typo of a Power7 event nameRunzhen Wang1-1/+1
In the Power7 PMU guide: https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/ PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED. It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and documentation accordingly. This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok: - It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform. - No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point (none are listed near the interface). - Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf) would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED". - These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable, so hoping we have some wiggle room.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq) remains the most active patch submitter. To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code. Next are the freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight. We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers and a bunch of cleanups all over. Highlights: - Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures. It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely. For example, if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory hot-removal. Needless to say, that is not a very attractive alternative and it had to be addressed. However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI processor driver. It's been split into two parts, a resident one handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing processors). That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a patient who's riding a bike. So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing (a month ago), nobody has complained. As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug code. - Lighter weight freezing of tasks. These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight operation. They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all to call refrigerator(). The time needed for the freezer to decide to report a failure is reduced too. Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is generally unsafe and shouldn't happen). - cpufreq updates First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume. The fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa has identified the root cause. Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via related_cpus. From Lan Tianyu. Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean up some code. The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia, Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian. - ACPICA update A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream. During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted to use them without checking that bit. That caused suspend/resume regressions to happen on some systems. Fix from Lv Zheng causes those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set. Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and Zhang Rui. - cpuidle updates New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek. Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel Lezcano. - ACPI power management updates Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection routine. - ACPI documentation updates Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is updated by Hanjun Guo. - Assorted ACPI updates We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for reverting commit 9f29ab11ddbf ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to the core. A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be fixed on some systems. A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by Mika Westerberg. The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value. From Jeff Wu. Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues. Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus. The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly. Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi Kani. - Assorted power management updates The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not necessary any more after that modification). The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect the "runtime idle" behavior change). New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara (<keun-o.park@windriver.com>). PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu. Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan. - devfreq updates New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan. Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham, Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun. - OMAP power management updates Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) SmartReflex voltage control driver updates from Andrii Tseglytskyi and Nishanth Menon." * tag 'pm+acpi-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (162 commits) cpufreq: Fix cpufreq regression after suspend/resume ACPI / PM: Fix possible NULL pointer deref in acpi_pm_device_sleep_state() PM / Sleep: Warn about system time after resume with pm_trace cpufreq: don't leave stale policy pointer in cdbs->cur_policy acpi-cpufreq: Add new sysfs attribute freqdomain_cpus cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are serialized ACPI: implement acpi_os_get_timer() according the spec ACPI / EC: Add HP Folio 13 to ec_dmi_table in order to skip DSDT scan ACPI: Add CMOS RTC Operation Region handler support ACPI / processor: Drop unused variable from processor_perflib.c cpufreq: tegra: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: s3c64xx: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: omap: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: imx6q: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: exynos: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: dbx500: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: davinci: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: arm-big-little: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: powernow-k8: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: pcc: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen into for-3.11/drivers Konrad writes: It has the 'feature-max-indirect-segments' implemented in both backend and frontend. The current problem with the backend and frontend is that the segment size is limited to 11 pages. It means we can at most squeeze in 44kB per request. The ring can hold 32 (next power of two below 36) requests, meaning we can do 1.4M of outstanding requests. Nowadays that is not enough. The problem in the past was addressed in two ways - but neither one went upstream. The first solution to this proposed by Justin from Spectralogic was to negotiate the segment size. This means that the ‘struct blkif_sring_entry’ is now a variable size. It can expand from 112 bytes (cover 11 pages of data - 44kB) to 1580 bytes (256 pages of data - so 1MB). It is a simple extension by just making the array in the request expand from 11 to a variable size negotiated. But it had limits: this extension still limits the number of segments per request to 255 (as the total number must be specified in the request, which only has an 8-bit field for that purpose). The other solution (from Intel - Ronghui) was to create one extra ring that only has the ‘struct blkif_request_segment’ in them. The ‘struct blkif_request’ would be changed to have an index in said ‘segment ring’. There is only one segment ring. This means that the size of the initial ring is still the same. The requests would point to the segment and enumerate out how many of the indexes it wants to use. The limit is of course the size of the segment. If one assumes a one-page segment this means we can in one request cover ~4MB. Those patches were posted as RFC and the author never followed up on the ideas on changing it to be a bit more flexible. There is yet another mechanism that could be employed  (which these patches implement) - and it borrows from VirtIO protocol. And that is the ‘indirect descriptors’. This very similar to what Intel suggests, but with a twist. The twist is to negotiate how many of these 'segment' pages (aka indirect descriptor pages) we want to support (in reality we negotiate how many entries in the segment we want to cover, and we module the number if it is bigger than the segment size). This means that with the existing 36 slots in the ring (single page) we can cover: 32 slots * each blkif_request_indirect covers: 512 * 4096 ~= 64M. Since we ample space in the blkif_request_indirect to span more than one indirect page, that number (64M) can be also multiplied by eight = 512MB. Roger Pau Monne took the idea and implemented them in these patches. They work great and the corner cases (migration between backends with and without this extension) work nicely. The backend has a limit right now off how many indirect entries it can handle: one indirect page, and at maximum 256 entries (out of 512 - so 50% of the page is used). That comes out to 32 slots * 256 entries in a indirect page * 1 indirect page per request * 4096 = 32MB. This is a conservative number that can change in the future. Right now it strikes a good balance between giving excellent performance, memory usage in the backend, and balancing the needs of many guests. In the patchset there is also the split of the blkback structure to be per-VBD. This means that the spinlock contention we had with many guests trying to do I/O and all the blkback threads hitting the same lock has been eliminated. Also there are bug-fixes to deal with oddly sized sectors, insane amounts on th ring, and also a security fix (posted earlier).

Balance-Boards provide 3 16bit calibration values for each of the 4 sensors. We provide these now as 192bit value via a new "bboard_calib" sysfs attribute. We also re-read the calibration data from the device whenever user-space attempts to read this file. On normal Nintendo boards, this always produces the same results, however, on some 3rd party devices these values change until the device is fully initialized. As I have currently no idea how long to wait until it's ready (sometimes takes up to 10s?) we provide a simple workaround for users by reading this file. If we, at some point, figure out how it works, we can implement it in the kernel and provide offline data via "bboard_calib". This won't break user-space then.

Make it explicit that the format attributes may define overlapping bit ranges. Unfortunately this was left unspecified originally, and all the examples show non-overlapping ranges. I don't believe this is an ABI change, as we are defining something that was previously undefined, but others may disagree. The POWER8 PMU would like to define overlapping ranges, as bit ranges in the event code have different meanings for certain events. It will also allow us to define an overarching "event" field, that encompasses all others. As far as I can see perf is comfortable with this change, however I am not sure if there are any other users of the interface.

Modify the generic ACPI hotplug code to be able to check if devices scheduled for hot-removal may be gracefully removed from the system using the device offline/online mechanism introduced previously. Namely, make acpi_scan_hot_remove() handling device hot-removal call device_offline() for all physical companions of the ACPI device nodes involved in the operation and check the results. If any of the device_offline() calls fails, the function will not progress to the removal phase (which cannot be aborted), unless its (new) force argument is set (in case of a failing offline it will put the devices offlined by it back online). In support of 'forced' device hot-removal, add a new sysfs attribute 'force_remove' that will reside under /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2013-05-12Driver core: Add offline/online device operationsRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+20
In some cases, graceful hot-removal of devices is not possible, although in principle the devices in question support hotplug. For example, that may happen for the last CPU in the system or for memory modules holding kernel memory. In those cases it is nice to be able to check if the given device can be gracefully hot-removed before triggering a removal procedure that cannot be aborted or reversed. Unfortunately, however, the kernel currently doesn't provide any support for that. To address that deficiency, introduce support for offline and online operations that can be performed on devices, respectively, before a hot-removal and in case when it is necessary (or convenient) to put a device back online after a successful offline (that has not been followed by removal). The idea is that the offline will fail whenever the given device cannot be gracefully removed from the system and it will not be allowed to use the device after a successful offline (until a subsequent online) in analogy with the existing CPU offline/online mechanism. For now, the offline and online operations are introduced at the bus type level, as that should be sufficient for the most urgent use cases (CPUs and memory modules). In the future, however, the approach may be extended to cover some more complicated device offline/online scenarios involving device drivers etc. The lock_device_hotplug() and unlock_device_hotplug() functions are introduced because subsequent patches need to put larger pieces of code under device_hotplug_lock to prevent race conditions between device offline and removal from happening.

2013-05-01rbd: don't create sysfs entries for non-mapped snapshotsAlex Elder1-20/+0
When an rbd image gets mapped a device entry gets created for it under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<id>/. Inside that directory there are sysfs files that contain information about the image: its size, feature bits, major device number, and so on. Additionally, if that image has any snapshots, a device entry gets created for each of those as a "child" of the mapped device. Each of these is a subdirectory of the mapped device, and each directory contains a few files with information about the snapshot (its snapshot id, size, and feature mask). There is no clear benefit to having those device entries for the snapshots. The information provided via sysfs of of little real value--and all of it is available via rbd CLI commands. If we still wanted to see the kernel's view of this information it could be done much more simply by including it in a single sysfs file for the mapped image. But there *is* a clear cost to supporting them. Every time a snapshot context changes, these entries need to be updated (deleted snapshots removed, new snapshots created). The rbd driver is notified of changes to the snapshot context via callbacks from an osd, and care must be taken to coordinate removal of snapshot data structures with the possibility of one these notifications occurring. Things would be considerably simpler if we just didn't have to maintain device entries for the snapshots. So get rid of them. The ability to map a snapshot of an rbd image will remain; the only thing lost will be the ability to query these sysfs directories for information about snapshots of mapped images.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Highlights (1721 non-merge commits, this has to be a record of some sort): 1) Add 'random' mode to team driver, from Jiri Pirko and Eric Dumazet. 2) Make it so that any driver that supports configuration of multiple MAC addresses can provide the forwarding database add and del calls by providing a default implementation and hooking that up if the driver doesn't have an explicit set of handlers. From Vlad Yasevich. 3) Support GSO segmentation over tunnels and other encapsulating devices such as VXLAN, from Pravin B Shelar. 4) Support L2 GRE tunnels in the flow dissector, from Michael Dalton. 5) Implement Tail Loss Probe (TLP) detection in TCP, from Nandita Dukkipati. 6) In the PHY layer, allow supporting wake-on-lan in situations where the PHY registers have to be written for it to be configured. Use it to support wake-on-lan in mv643xx_eth. From Michael Stapelberg. 7) Significantly improve firewire IPV6 support, from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki. 8) Allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission using network coding in batman-adv, from Martin Hundebøll. 9) Add support for T5 cxgb4 chips, from Santosh Rastapur. 10) Generalize the VXLAN forwarding tables so that there is more flexibility in configurating various aspects of the endpoints. From David Stevens. 11) Support RSS and TSO in hardware over GRE tunnels in bxn2x driver, from Dmitry Kravkov. 12) Zero copy support in nfnelink_queue, from Eric Dumazet and Pablo Neira Ayuso. 13) Start adding networking selftests. 14) In situations of overload on the same AF_PACKET fanout socket, or per-cpu packet receive queue, minimize drop by distributing the load to other cpus/fanouts. From Willem de Bruijn and Eric Dumazet. 15) Add support for new payload offset BPF instruction, from Daniel Borkmann. 16) Convert several drivers over to mdoule_platform_driver(), from Sachin Kamat. 17) Provide a minimal BPF JIT image disassembler userspace tool, from Daniel Borkmann. 18) Rewrite F-RTO implementation in TCP to match the final specification of it in RFC4138 and RFC5682. From Yuchung Cheng. 19) Provide netlink socket diag of netlink sockets ("Yo dawg, I hear you like netlink, so I implemented netlink dumping of netlink sockets.") From Andrey Vagin. 20) Remove ugly passing of rtnetlink attributes into rtnl_doit functions, from Thomas Graf. 21) Allow userspace to be able to see if a configuration change occurs in the middle of an address or device list dump, from Nicolas Dichtel. 22) Support RFC3168 ECN protection for ipv6 fragments, from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 23) Increase accuracy of packet length used by packet scheduler, from Jason Wang. 24) Beginning set of changes to make ipv4/ipv6 fragment handling more scalable and less susceptible to overload and locking contention, from Jesper Dangaard Brouer. 25) Get rid of using non-type-safe NLMSG_* macros and use nlmsg_*() instead. From Hong Zhiguo. 26) Optimize route usage in IPVS by avoiding reference counting where possible, from Julian Anastasov. 27) Convert IPVS schedulers to RCU, also from Julian Anastasov. 28) Support cpu fanouts in xt_NFQUEUE netfilter target, from Holger Eitzenberger. 29) Network namespace support for nf_log, ebt_log, xt_LOG, ipt_ULOG, nfnetlink_log, and nfnetlink_queue. From Gao feng. 30) Implement RFC3168 ECN protection, from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 31) Support several new r8169 chips, from Hayes Wang. 32) Support tokenized interface identifiers in ipv6, from Daniel Borkmann. 33) Use usbnet_link_change() helper in USB net driver, from Ming Lei. 34) Add 802.1ad vlan offload support, from Patrick McHardy. 35) Support mmap() based netlink communication, also from Patrick McHardy. 36) Support HW timestamping in mlx4 driver, from Amir Vadai. 37) Rationalize AF_PACKET packet timestamping when transmitting, from Willem de Bruijn and Daniel Borkmann. 38) Bring parity to what's provided by /proc/net/packet socket dumping and the info provided by netlink socket dumping of AF_PACKET sockets. From Nicolas Dichtel. 39) Fix peeking beyond zero sized SKBs in AF_UNIX, from Benjamin Poirier" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1722 commits) filter: fix va_list build error af_unix: fix a fatal race with bit fields bnx2x: Prevent memory leak when cnic is absent bnx2x: correct reading of speed capabilities net: sctp: attribute printl with __printf for gcc fmt checks netlink: kconfig: move mmap i/o into netlink kconfig netpoll: convert mutex into a semaphore netlink: Fix skb ref counting. net_sched: act_ipt forward compat with xtables mlx4_en: fix a build error on 32bit arches Revert "bnx2x: allow nvram test to run when device is down" bridge: avoid OOPS if root port not found drivers: net: cpsw: fix kernel warn on cpsw irq enable sh_eth: use random MAC address if no valid one supplied 3c509.c: call SET_NETDEV_DEV for all device types (ISA/ISAPnP/EISA) tg3: fix to append hardware time stamping flags unix/stream: fix peeking with an offset larger than data in queue unix/dgram: fix peeking with an offset larger than data in queue unix/dgram: peek beyond 0-sized skbs openvswitch: Remove unneeded ovs_netdev_get_ifindex() ...
