With the use of RCU in files structure, the look-up of files using fds can now be lock-free. The lookup is protected by rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock(). This patch changes the readers to use lock-free lookup. Signed-off-by:

Patch to eliminate struct files_struct.file_lock spinlock on the reader side and use rcu refcounting rcuref_xxx api for the f_count refcounter. The updates to the fdtable are done by allocating a new fdtable structure and setting files->fdt to point to the new structure. The fdtable structure is protected by RCU thereby allowing lock-free lookup. For fd arrays/sets that are vmalloced, we use keventd to free them since RCU callbacks can't sleep. A global list of fdtable to be freed is not scalable, so we use a per-cpu list. If keventd is already handling the current cpu's work, we use a timer to defer queueing of that work. Since the last publication, this patch has been re-written to avoid using explicit memory barriers and use rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference() premitives instead. This required that the fd information is kept in a separate structure (fdtable) and updated atomically. Signed-off-by:

In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent applciation of RCU becomes easier after this. Signed-off-by:

First of a number of files_lock scaability patches. Here are the x86 numbers - tiobench on a 4(8)-way (HT) P4 system on ramdisk : (lockfree) Test 2.6.10-vanilla Stdev 2.6.10-fd Stdev ------------------------------------------------------------- Seqread 1400.8 11.52 1465.4 34.27 Randread 1594 8.86 2397.2 29.21 Seqwrite 242.72 3.47 238.46 6.53 Randwrite 445.74 9.15 446.4 9.75 The performance improvement is very significant. We are getting killed by the cacheline bouncing of the files_struct lock here. Writes on ramdisk (ext2) seems to vary just too much to get any meaningful number. Also, With Tridge's thread_perf test on a 4(8)-way (HT) P4 xeon system : 2.6.12-rc5-vanilla : Running test 'readwrite' with 8 tasks Threads 0.34 +/- 0.01 seconds Processes 0.16 +/- 0.00 seconds 2.6.12-rc5-fd : Running test 'readwrite' with 8 tasks Threads 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds Processes 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds I repeated the measurements on ramfs (as opposed to ext2 on ramdisk in the earlier measurement) and I got more consistent results from tiobench : 4(8) way xeon P4 ----------------- (lock-free) Test 2.6.12-rc5 Stdev 2.6.12-rc5-fd Stdev ------------------------------------------------------------- Seqread 1282 18.59 1343.6 26.37 Randread 1517 7 2415 34.27 Seqwrite 702.2 5.27 709.46 5.9 Randwrite 846.86 15.15 919.68 21.4 4-way ppc64 ------------ (lock-free) Test 2.6.12-rc5 Stdev 2.6.12-rc5-fd Stdev ------------------------------------------------------------- Seqread 1549 91.16 1569.6 47.2 Randread 1473.6 25.11 1585.4 69.99 Seqwrite 1096.8 20.03 1136 29.61 Randwrite 1189.6 4.04 1275.2 32.96 Also running Tridge's thread_perf test on ppc64 : 2.6.12-rc5-vanilla -------------------- Running test 'readwrite' with 4 tasks Threads 0.20 +/- 0.02 seconds Processes 0.16 +/- 0.01 seconds 2.6.12-rc5-fd -------------------- Running test 'readwrite' with 4 tasks Threads 0.18 +/- 0.04 seconds Processes 0.16 +/- 0.01 seconds The benefits are huge (upto ~60%) in some cases on x86 primarily due to the atomic operations during acquisition of ->file_lock and cache line bouncing in fast path. ppc64 benefits are modest due to LL/SC based locking, but still statistically significant. This patch: RCU head initilizer no longer needs the head varible name since we don't use list.h lists anymore. Signed-off-by: -

The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

multifunction cards need to have the same irq assigned to both functions. the code tries that but fails because ret is still set to CS_IN_USE which results in the function having the CB irq assigned. yenta_set_socket then just changes the irq routing to use the PCI interrupt but the first functions irq handler is registered on an ISA interrupt. boom.

Share code between setup-bus.c and yenta_socket.c: use the write-out code of resources to the bridge also in yenta_socket.c, as it provides useful debug output. In addition, it fixes the bug that the CPU-centric resource view might need to be transferred to the PCI-centric view: setup-bus.c does that, while yenta-socket.c did not. Signed-off-by:
