Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
fdarray and two fdsets. The code allows the number of fds supported by 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 removes fdtable->max_fdset. As an added bonus, most of the supporting
code becomes simpler.

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
aligned requests.

The ESB2 appears to emit spurious DMA interrupts when configured for native
mode and handling ATAPI devices. Stratus were able to pin this bug down and
produce a patch. This is a rework which applies the fixup only to the ESB2
(for now). We can apply it to other chips later if the same problem is found.
This code has been tested and confirmed to fix the problem on the tested
systems.

Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a
load balance at the frequency of balance_interval. More the cores and
threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain.
And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those
domains.
Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if
all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that
particular sched domain and this load will slowly percolate down to the
other cpus with in that group(when they do load balancing at lower
domains).

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.

The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful. It simply counts the
number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB
from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,
which is wrong.
(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:
For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very
useful
read_bytes/read_calls average read request size
write_bytes/write_calls average write request size
read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing
write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can
be missed
I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache
problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are
dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache
contention.
I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing
efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high
IO commands).
This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account
for three things:
reads:
attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause
to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it
is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and
CIFS.
writes:
attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent
to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time.
The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file
and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will
have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.
So...
cancelled_writes:
account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by
truncating pagecache.
We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But
that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative
amounts of write IO, which is silly.
So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.
Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But
- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page
level (would require a new pointer in struct page).
- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available
long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot
communicate this info via taskstats.
This patch:
Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to
manipulate them.

Stabilize PIO mode transfers against a range of word sizes and FIFO
thresholds and fixes word size setup/override issues.
1) 16 and 32 bit DMA/PIO transfers broken due to timing differences.
2) Potential for bad transfer counts due to transfer size assumptions.
3) Setup function broken is multiple ways.
4) Per transfer bit_per_word changes break DMA setup in pump_tranfers.
5) False positive timeout are not errors.
6) Changes in pxa2xx_spi_chip not effective in calls to setup.
7) Timeout scaling wrong for PXA255 NSSP.
8) Driver leaks memory while busy during unloading.
Known issues:
SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled.
Testing:
This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word,
random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves
(3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test. It is robust in PIO mode, using any
combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which
internally computes the thresholds).
Much thanks to Ned Forrester for exhaustive reviews, fixes and testing.
The driver is substantially better for his efforts.

In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing.
For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths
are available instead of returning it -EIO.
This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the
contents of any such in-target queue back into the core. This frees up the
resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an
alternative one and then resend the I/O to it. Without this patch the only
way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with
an error back to the filesystem/application. In the multipath case, this
patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing
paths have failed.
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
----------------------
If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend(). It
is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns.
The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it
is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait
for md->pending where the flush ends.
Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending().
DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE / DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE
-----------------------------------
A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the
device mapper core queue the bio.
Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request
the same. This has been labelled 'pushback'.
The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return
values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O.
dec_pending
-----------
dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error. Once all
the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on
the md->pushback list. Note that this supercedes any I/O errors.
It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while
in progress (e.g. by user interrupt). dec_pending() checks for this and
returns -EIO if it happened.
pushdback list and pushback_lock
--------------------------------
The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after
all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in
dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time.
md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback.
The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be
called from interrupt context.
Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically
with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag. So md->pushback_lock is
held when checking the flag. Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to
md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback.
Then the bio would be left in md->pushback.
Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because
the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already
made visible via the target's presuspend function.
The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of
the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again
with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback
as described above. So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless
checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications
with -EIO.
Other notes on the current patch
--------------------------------
- md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using
md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is
rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(),
and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too.
- Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be
pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices.
- If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to
the list already. (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend())
Test results
------------
I have tested using multipath target with the next patch.
The following tests are for regression/compatibility:
- I/Os succeed when valid paths exist;
- I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not
set;
- I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set;
- The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the
DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option. I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also
fail.
The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature:
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target
but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
ioctl option;
- The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when
resume is issued without path recovery;
- The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery
or table load;
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued
with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os
spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed.
The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature:
- When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the
pushback list are flushed properly.
- When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted,
o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list
at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time;
o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.

Provide a dm ioctl option to request noflush suspending. (See next patch for
what this is for.) As the interface is extended, the version number is
incremented.
Other than accepting the new option through the interface, There is no change
to existing behaviour.
Test results:
Confirmed the option is given from user-space correctly.

Tighten the use of return values from the target map and end_io functions.
Values of 2 and above are now explictly reserved for future use. There are no
existing targets using such values.
The patch has no effect on existing behaviour.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions.
Any positive value currently indicates "mapping complete", but all
existing drivers use the value 1. We now make that a requirement
so we can assign new meaning to higher values in future.
The new definition of return values from target map functions is:
< 0 : error
= 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED).
= 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED).
> 1 : Reserved (undefined). Previously this was the same as '= 1'.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions
for similar reasons.
DM_ENDIO_INCOMPLETE is introduced for a return value of 1.
Test results:
I have tested by using the multipath target.
I/Os succeed when valid paths exist.
I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set.
I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set.

Change the interface of dm_suspend() so that we can pass several options
without increasing the number of parameters. The existing 'do_lockfs' integer
parameter is replaced by a flag DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG.
There is no functional change to the code.
Test results:
I have tested 'dmsetup suspend' command with/without the '--nolockfs'
option and confirmed the do_lockfs value is correctly set.

This patch adds a way to create and use the video plane (YUV overlay) and
scaling video scaling features of the chip.
The overlay is configured, resized and modified using a device specific
ioctl.
Also included in this patch:
- If no platform data was passed, print an error and exit instead of crashing.
- Added a write_reg(_dly) macro. This improves readability when
manipulating chip registers. (no more udelay() after each write).
- Comments about some issues.

- Mark the default colormaps read-only, as nobody should be allowed to
modify them
- Additionally mark color values as __read_mostly since they will only be
modified (very seldom) by fb_invert_cmaps()

This patch adds support for stn displays on the s3c2410 arm SoC.
The LCD type is choosen by a new field in the s3c2410fb_mach_info structure
and its value is the value of the PNRMODE bits. This worth to be noted as
a value of 0 means that you configure a 4 bit dual scan stn display.

This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.
The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.
For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.
- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
--> kmem_cache_alloc
This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.
The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)
So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.
Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation
failures only for a specific module
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt
