      md: never advance 'events' counter by more than 1. · 51d5668c
      NeilBrown authored
      When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event
      counts as long as the difference is only '1'.  This is to cope with
      a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference
      devices.
      
      However there are currently times when we update the event count by
      2.  This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean
      and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common
      update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep.
      
      This is bad for the above reason.  So change it to never increase by
      two.  This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
      'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a
      small cost.  The spares will get a few more updates but that will
      still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep.
      
      Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an
      array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count
      mismatch.

      Remove double removal of blktrace directory · 39cbb602

          blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path
      
      added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt->dir, in
      blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On
      occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to
      this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks
      with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this
      committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code
      in blk_remove_buf_file_callback.
      
      With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas
      previously I could not get a single run to complete.
      
      The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the
      relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt->dir, and
      so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created
      have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem -
      the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation
      does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we
      should not rely upon that feature.)

      NFS: Fix an O_DIRECT Oops... · 1ae88b2e
      Trond Myklebust authored
      We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without
      first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside
      nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment()
      causes an Oops.
      
      We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
      those cases.
      
      Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
      referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
      structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
      of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
      instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().

      perf_counter, x86: Fix/improve apic fallback · 04da8a43
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Johannes Stezenbach reported that his Pentium-M based
      laptop does not have the local APIC enabled by default,
      and hence perfcounters do not get initialized.
      
      Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters
      and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows
      'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top'
      and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling
      method.
      
      ( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware
        sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled
        permanently by the hardware then this fallback still
        allows more systems to use perfcounters. )
      
      Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC.
      
      -v2: fix typo breaking counters on all other systems ...

      perf record: Add missing -C option support for specifying profile cpu · 0a5ac846

      perf top supports a -C for setting the profile CPU, but perf
      record does not. This adds the same option for perf record,
      allowing the user to specify a specific target profile CPU.
