irq_choose_cpu() should compare the affinity mask against cpu_online_map
rather than CPU_MASK_ALL, since irq_select_affinity() sets the interrupt's
affinity mask to cpu_online_map "and" CPU_MASK_ALL (which ends up being
just cpu_online_map). The mask comparison in irq_choose_cpu() will always
fail since the two masks are not the same. So the CPU chosen is the first CPU
in the intersection of cpu_online_map and CPU_MASK_ALL, which is always CPU0.
That means all interrupts are reassigned to CPU0...
Distributing interrupts to CPUs in a linearly increasing round robin fashion
is not optimal for the UltraSPARC T1/T2. Also, the irq_rover in
irq_choose_cpu() causes an interrupt to be assigned to a different
processor each time the interrupt is allocated and released. This may lead
to an unbalanced distribution over time.
A static mapping of interrupts to processors is done to optimize and balance
interrupt distribution. For the T1/T2, interrupts are spread to different
cores first, and then to strands within a core.
The following is some benchmarks showing the effects of interrupt
distribution on a T2. The test was done with iperf using a pair of T5220
boxes, each with a 10GBe NIU (XAUI) connected back to back.

This gets us real close to the generic implementation of
setup_per_cpu_areas() except:
1) We store the per-cpu offset into the trap_block[], whereas
the generic code has it's own static array.
2) We have to initialize the %g5 register to hold the boot cpu's
per-cpu area offset.
3) The OBP/MDESC cpu info scan is performed at the end.

Now that we defer the cpu_data() initializations to the end of per-cpu
setup, we can get rid of this local hack we had to setup the per-cpu
areas eary.
This is a necessary step in order to support HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA
since the per-cpu setup must run when page structs are available.

This really isn't necessary at all, a local variable suits the
job just fine.
This frees up 8 bytes in the trap_block[] that we can use later

sparc: Fix bus type probing for ESP and LE devices.
sparc32: Update defconfig.
sparc64: Update defconfig.
|
|
If there is a dummy "espdma" or "ledma" parent device above ESP scsi
or LE ethernet device nodes, we have to match the bus as SBUS.
Otherwise the address and size cell counts are wrong and we don't
calculate the final physical device resource values correctly at all.
Commit 5280267c1dddb8d413595b87dc406624bb497946 ("sparc: Fix handling
of LANCE and ESP parent nodes in of_device.c") was meant to fix this
problem, but that only influences the inner loop of
build_device_resources(). We need this logic to also kick in at the
beginning of build_device_resources() as well, when we make the first
attempt to determine the device's immediate parent bus type for 'reg'
property element extraction.
Based almost entirely upon a patch by Friedrich Oslage.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

To fix this problem, check ->mm instead of ->active_mm, and this
means:
> So if you test current->mm, you effectively account for mm_users == 1,
> so the only way the mm can be active on another processor is as a lazy

And therefore we should be OK.

When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type
"cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct
resource are uninitialized.
Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is
responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it,
not the responsibility of request_resource functuion.
After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields
added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this.
