git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/balbi/usb into usb-next Felipe writes: usb: patches for v3.11 merge window All function drivers are now converted to our new configfs-based binding. Eventually this will help us getting rid of in-kernel gadget drivers and only keep function drivers in the kernel. MUSB was taught that it needs to be built for host-only and device-only modes too. We had this support long ago but it involved a ridiculous amount of ifdefs. Now we have a much cleaner approach. Samsung Exynos4 platform now implements HSIC support. We're introducing support for AB8540 and AB9540 PHYs. MUSB module reinsertion now works as expected, before we were getting -EBUSY being returned by the resource checks done on driver core. DWC3 now has minimum support for TI's AM437x series of SoCs. OMAP5 USB3 PHY learned one extra DPLL configuration values because that PHY is reused in TI's DRA7xx devices. We're introducing support for Faraday fotg210 UDCs. Last, but not least, the usual set of non-critical fixes and cleanups ranging from usage of platform_{get,set}_drvdata to lock improvements.

2013-05-29perf: Expand definition of sysfs format attributeMichael Ellerman
Make it explicit that the format attributes may define overlapping bit ranges. Unfortunately this was left unspecified originally, and all the examples show non-overlapping ranges. I don't believe this is an ABI change, as we are defining something that was previously undefined, but others may disagree. The POWER8 PMU would like to define overlapping ranges, as bit ranges in the event code have different meanings for certain events. It will also allow us to define an overarching "event" field, that encompasses all others. As far as I can see perf is comfortable with this change, however I am not sure if there are any other users of the interface.

2013-05-01rbd: don't create sysfs entries for non-mapped snapshotsAlex Elder
When an rbd image gets mapped a device entry gets created for it under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<id>/. Inside that directory there are sysfs files that contain information about the image: its size, feature bits, major device number, and so on. Additionally, if that image has any snapshots, a device entry gets created for each of those as a "child" of the mapped device. Each of these is a subdirectory of the mapped device, and each directory contains a few files with information about the snapshot (its snapshot id, size, and feature mask). There is no clear benefit to having those device entries for the snapshots. The information provided via sysfs of of little real value--and all of it is available via rbd CLI commands. If we still wanted to see the kernel's view of this information it could be done much more simply by including it in a single sysfs file for the mapped image. But there *is* a clear cost to supporting them. Every time a snapshot context changes, these entries need to be updated (deleted snapshots removed, new snapshots created). The rbd driver is notified of changes to the snapshot context via callbacks from an osd, and care must be taken to coordinate removal of snapshot data structures with the possibility of one these notifications occurring. Things would be considerably simpler if we just didn't have to maintain device entries for the snapshots. So get rid of them. The ability to map a snapshot of an rbd image will remain; the only thing lost will be the ability to query these sysfs directories for information about snapshots of mapped images.

2013-03-21ACPI / LPSS: Add support for exposing LTR registers to user spaceRafael J. Wysocki
Devices on the Intel Lynxpoint Low Power Subsystem (LPSS) have registers providing access to LTR (Latency Tolerance Reporting) functionality that allows software to monitor and possibly influence the aggressiveness of the platform's active-state power management. For each LPSS device, there are two modes of operation related to LTR, the auto mode and the software mode. In the auto mode the LTR is set up by the platform firmware and managed by hardware. Software can only read the LTR register values to monitor the platform's behavior. In the software mode it is possible to use LTR to control the extent to which the platform will use its built-in power management features. This changeset adds support for reading the LPSS devices' LTR registers and exposing their values to user space for monitoring and diagnostics purposes. It re-uses the MMIO mappings created to access the LPSS devices' clock registers for reading the values of the LTR registers and exposes them to user space through sysfs device attributes. Namely, a new atrribute group, lpss_ltr, is created for each LPSS device. It contains three new attributes: ltr_mode, auto_ltr, sw_ltr. The value of the ltr_mode attribute reflects the LTR mode being used at the moment (software vs auto) and the other two contain the actual register values (raw) whose meaning depends on the LTR mode. All of these attributes are read-only. Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

2013-03-13batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure codeMartin Hundebøll
Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay. In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one from Node B to Node A: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B 4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves us one slot of valuable airtime: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D, respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save one transmission: Node A Node B | \ / | | p1 p2 | | \ / | p1 > Node R < p2 | | | / \ | | p1 x p2 p1 x p2 | v / \ v / \ Node C < > Node D More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1]. This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and also because it adds a small delay at each hop.

2013-03-04ACPI / hotplug: Introduce user space interface for hotplug profilesRafael J. Wysocki
Introduce user space interface for manipulating hotplug profiles associated with ACPI scan handlers. The interface consists of sysfs directories under /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/, one for each hotplug profile, containing an attribute allowing user space to manipulate the enabled field of the corresponding profile. Namely, switching the enabled attribute from '0' to '1' will cause the common hotplug notify handler to be installed for all ACPI namespace objects representing devices matching the scan handler associated with the given hotplug profile (and analogously for the converse switch). Drivers willing to use the new user space interface should add their ACPI scan handlers with the help of new funtion acpi_scan_add_handler_with_hotplug(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2013-02-21bdi: allow block devices to say that they require stable page writesDarrick J. Wong
This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to provide stable page writes on those filesystems. It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway) this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not fixing it sooner. Complaints were registered by several people about the long write latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset. Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else. Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support to enable zero-copy writeout. Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems. Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure latencies on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives the flusher more work to do. On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum latencies: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078 ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210 Flush 12129 36.219 168.260 Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 86082 0.141 30.928 ReadX 273358 0.010 36.124 Flush 12214 34.800 165.689 Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343 ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115 Flush 17851 25.004 131.390 Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 123529 0.028 6.299 ReadX 392434 0.005 4.287 Flush 17549 25.120 188.687 Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms ...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency decreases: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 67122 0.083 82.355 ReadX 212719 0.005 2.828 Flush 9547 47.561 147.418 Throughput 35.3391 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=147.433 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 64898 0.101 71.631 ReadX 206673 0.005 7.123 Flush 9190 47.963 219.034 Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=219.044 ms Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same results as -rc3. [1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the author of the stable page series! :) This patch: Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
