2005-10-28[PATCH] ibmveth fix failed addbufSantiago Leon
This patch fixes a bug that happens when the hypervisor can't add a buffer. The old code wrote IBM_VETH_INVALID_MAP into the free_map array, so next time the index was used, a ibmveth_assert() caught it and called BUG(). The patch writes the right value into the free_map array so that the index can be reused. Signed-off-by: Santiago Leon <santil@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-10-28[PATCH] ibmveth lockless TXSantiago Leon
This patch adds the lockless TX feature to the ibmveth driver. The hypervisor has its own locking so the only change that is necessary is to protect the statistics counters. Signed-off-by: Santiago Leon <santil@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-10-28[PATCH] ibmveth fix buffer replenishingSantiago Leon
This patch removes the allocation of RX skb's buffers from a workqueue to be called directly at RX processing time. This change was suggested by Dave Miller when the driver was starving the RX buffers and deadlocking under heavy traffic: > Allocating RX SKBs via tasklet is, IMHO, the worst way to > do it. It is no surprise that there are starvation cases. > > If tasklets or work queues get delayed in any way, you lose, > and it's very easy for a card to catch up with the driver RX'ing > packets very fast, no matter how aggressive you make the > replenishing. By the time you detect that you need to be > "more aggressive" it is already too late. > The only pseudo-reliable way is to allocate at RX processing time. > Signed-off-by: Santiago Leon <santil@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-10-28[PATCH] ibmveth fix buffer pool managementSantiago Leon
This patch changes the way the ibmveth driver handles the receive buffers. The old code mallocs and maps all the buffers in the pools regardless of MTU size and it also limits the number of buffer pools to three. This patch makes the driver malloc and map the buffers necessary to support the current MTU. It also changes the hardcoded names of the buffer pool number, size, and elements to arrays to make it easier to change (with the hope of making them runtime parameters in the future).

2005-10-28[PATCH] tg3: fix ASF heartbeatMichael Chan
Change the ASF heart beat to 5 seconds for faster detection of system crash. The driver sends the heartbeat every 2 seconds and the ASF firmware will timeout and reset the device if no heartbeat is received after 5 seconds. The old scheme of 2 minutes is ineffective. tg3_write_mem_fast() is added to speed up the IO to send the heartbeat. When no workaround is needed, it will use direct MMIO to memory space to write to memory. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-10-28[PATCH] tg3: add 5714/5715 supportMichael Chan

2005-10-28[PATCH] gfp_t: fs/*Al Viro
- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated - missing gfp_t in fs/* added - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks: XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator. The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That, BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that immediately... One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

2005-10-28[BLOCK] Reimplement elevator switchTejun Heo
This patch reimplements elevator switch. This patch assumes generic dispatch queue patchset is applied. * Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator private data set. * Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter iosched. They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue. Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which have its REQ_ELVPRIV set. * Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in q->rq->elvpriv. * If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data is not allocated for new requests. To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS. New implementation is much simpler and main code paths are less cluttered, IMHO. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2005-10-28[PATCH] 02/05: update ioscheds to use generic dispatch queueJens Axboe
This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch queue. There's one behavior change in as-iosched. * In as-iosched, when force dispatching (ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero. This prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after the forced dispatched requests are finished. * In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the number of activated (removed) requests to determine whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been reached. With generic dispatch queue, I think counting the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate. * cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again. Original from Tejun Heo, modified version applied. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
