Between 2.6.23 and 2.6.24-rc1 a change was made that broke IBM LS21 systems that had the HPET enabled in the BIOS, resulting in boot hangs for x86_64. Specifically commit b8ce3359, which merges the i386 and x86_64 HPET code. Prior to this commit, when we setup the HPET timers in x86_64, we did the following: hpet_writel(HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC | HPET_TN_SETVAL | HPET_TN_32BIT, HPET_T0_CFG); However after the i386/x86_64 HPET merge, we do the following: cfg = hpet_readl(HPET_Tn_CFG(timer)); cfg |= HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC | HPET_TN_SETVAL | HPET_TN_32BIT; hpet_writel(cfg, HPET_Tn_CFG(timer)); However on LS21s with HPET enabled in the BIOS, the HPET_T0_CFG register boots with Level triggered interrupts (HPET_TN_LEVEL) enabled. This causes the periodic interrupt to be not so periodic, and that results in the boot time hang I reported earlier in the delay calibration. My fix: Always disable HPET_TN_LEVEL when setting up periodic mode. Signed-off-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: Catch cases where lazy MMU state is active in a preemtible context arch_flush_lazy_mmu_cpu() has been changed to disable preemption so the checks in enter/leave will never trigger.

Impact: avoid access to percpu vars in preempible context They are intended to be used whenever there's the possibility that there's some stale state which is going to be overwritten with a queued update, or to force a state change when we may be in lazy mode. Either way, we could end up calling it with preemption enabled, so wrap the functions in their own little preempt-disable section so they can be safely called in any context (though preemption should never be enabled if we're actually in a lazy state). (Move out of line to avoid #include dependencies.) Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit 31a12666 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic fix"). The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no more work to be done. But the !done condition was dropped from the test. This means that any time the page writeout loop breaks (eg. due to nr_to_write == 0), we will set index to 0, then goto again. This will set done_index to index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the function. When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout, we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0. This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and caused bugzilla entry http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604 about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically. With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly 5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

Impact: fix race leading to crash under KVM and Xen The CPA code may be called while we're in lazy mmu update mode - for example, when using DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and doing a slab allocation in an interrupt handler which interrupted a lazy mmu update. In this case, the in-memory pagetable state may be out of date due to pending queued updates. We need to flush any pending updates before inspecting the page table. Similarly, we must explicitly flush any modifications CPA may have made (which comes down to flushing queued operations when flushing the TLB).

Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized) nbd device to hang indefinitely. To reproduce: # ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048 # dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1 ...hangs... This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server connection. Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later will hang. This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277 Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the same. This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD: allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around 2.6.25. The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock being NULL in do_nbd_request. This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of this bug.

Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]: > Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU. > Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so > that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the > process had any mlocked pages. (in fact, it somehow manages to get into > the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get > a swap token) Jeremy explained: Yes. In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned", meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall (or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing). An unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be directly accessed as normal RW pages. As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses. This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap(). The munlocking happens a few lines below. The obvious thing to do would be to move arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side. Thus, this patch: exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap, as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the former to fail.
