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.

Fix the CRC errors in the higher UltraDMA modes with the Promise PDC20268 and newer chips that always occur on non-x86 machines and when there are more than 2 adapters on x86 machines. Fix the overclocking issue for PDC20269 and newer chips that occurs when an UltraDMA/133 capable drive is connected. Here's the summary of changes: - add code to detect the PLL input clock detection and setup it output clock, remove the PowerMac hacks; - replace the macros accessing the indexed regiters with functions, switch to using them where appropriate, gather the PIO/MWDMA/UDMA timings into tables; - rewrite the speedproc() handler to set the drive's transfer mode first, and then override the timing registers set by hardware on UltraDMA/133 chips; - use better criterion for determining higher UltraDMA modes, and add comment concerning the doubtful value of the code enabling IORDY/prefetch; - replace the stupid 'pdcnew_new_' prefixes with mere 'pdcnew_'; - get rid of unneded spaces, parens and type casts, clean up some printk's, add some new lines here and there... This work is loosely based on these former patches by Albert Lee: [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992442032300 [2] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992457729382 [3] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992474205555 [4] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=111019224802939 Some PLL clock detection code was backported from his pata_pdc2027x driver... This code has been successfully tested by me on PDC2026[89] chips. I tried to keep this rework as several patches but it made no sense: [2] was largely a modification of the non-working timing override code, [3] by itself extended the overclocking issue to the case of non-UltraDMA/133 drives, and finally, the cleanup patch based on [1] ended up rejected...

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. Signed-off-by:

Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel bugzilla 7645. Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem, but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range getting there. It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3. The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly affected. So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in that case - there's no need to optimize for it. Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there. And since mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that than -ENOMEM. Signed-off-by:

2.6.19 stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64 systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19. check_nmi_watchdog schedules an IPI on all cpus to busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait flag if NMI functionality is disabled. This causes the secondary cpus to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang. Depending upon the build, the busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable) and caused the kernel to bootup on certain builds. Following patch fixes the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog. I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.

Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() as the latter is unavailable and unimplementable on some platforms and is actually unnecessary. The use of cmpxchg() was to guard against two possibilities, neither of which can actually occur: (1) The pending flag may have been unset or may be cleared. However, given where it's called, the pending flag is _always_ set. I don't think it can be unset whilst we're in set_wq_data(). Once the work is enqueued to be actually run, the only way off the queue is for it to be actually run. If it's a delayed work item, then the bit can't be cleared by the timer because we haven't started the timer yet. Also, the pending bit can't be cleared by cancelling the delayed work _until_ the work item has had its timer started. (2) The workqueue pointer might change. This can only happen in two cases: (a) The work item has just been queued to actually run, and so we're protected by the appropriate workqueue spinlock. (b) A delayed work item is being queued, and so the timer hasn't been started yet, and so no one else knows about the work item or can access it (the pending bit protects us). Besides, set_wq_data() _sets_ the workqueue pointer unconditionally, so it can be assigned instead. So, replacing the set_wq_data() with a straight assignment would be okay in most cases. The problem is where we end up tangling with test_and_set_bit() emulated using spinlocks, and even then it's not a problem _provided_ test_and_set_bit() doesn't attempt to modify the word if the bit was set. If that's a problem, then a bitops-proofed assignment will be required - equivalent to atomic_set() vs other atomic_xxx() ops. Signed-off-by: -
