AGP allocation/deallocation is suffering major performance issues due to
the nature of global_flush_tlb() being called on every change_page_attr()
call.
For small allocations this isn't really seen, but when you start allocating
50000 pages of AGP space, for say, texture memory, then things can take
seconds to complete.
In some cases the situation is doubled or even quadrupled in the time due
to SMP, or a deallocation, then a new reallocation. I've had a case of
upto 20 seconds wait time to deallocate and reallocate AGP space.
This patch fixes the problem by making it the caller's responsibility to
call global_flush_tlb(), and so removes it from every instance of mapping a
page into AGP space until the time that all change_page_attr() changes are
done.

If a panic came from the IPMI watchdog pretimeout and that was reported via
an NMI, it would also be reported via the standard IPMI flags, which would
get picked up when reporting panic events and cause another panic. This
adds an atomic to avoid calling panic twice.

Use rcu_read_lock for the cmd_rcvrs list, since that was what what
intended, anyway. This means that all the users of the cmd_rcvrs_lock are
tasks, so the irq disables are no longer required for that lock and it can
become a semaphore.

We must poll for responses to commands when interrupts aren't in use. The
default poll interval is based on using a kernel timer, which varies with HZ.
For character-based interfaces like KCS and SMIC though, that can be way too
slow (>15 minutes to flash a new firmware with KCS, >20 seconds to retrieve
the sensor list).
This creates a low-priority kernel thread to poll more often. If the state
machine is idle, so is the kernel thread. But if there's an active command,
it polls quite rapidly. This decrease a firmware flash time from 15 minutes
to 1.5 minutes, and the sensor list time to 4.5 seconds, on a Dell PowerEdge
x8x system.
The timer-based polling remains, to ensure some amount of responsiveness even
under high user process CPU load.
Checking for a stopped timer at rmmod now uses atomics and del_timer_sync() to
ensure safe stoppage.

BMCs can get into ERROR0 state while flashing new firmware, particularly while
the BMC is erasing the next flash block, which may take a just under 2 seconds
on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 (1.75 seconds typical), during which time the
single-threaded firmware may not be able to process new commands. In
particular, clearing OBF may not take effect immediately.
We want it to delay in ERROR0 after clearing OBF a bit waiting for OBF to
actually be clear before proceeding.
This introduces a new return value from the LLDD's event loop,
SI_SM_CALL_WITH_TICK_DELAY. This means the calling thread/timer should
schedule_timeout() at least 1 tick, rather than busy-wait. This is a longer
delay than SI_SM_CALL_WITH_DELAY, which is typically a 250us busy-wait.

The current BT retry/reset mechanism fails to succeed on a PowerEdge 1650,
when the controller is wedged with B2H_ATN asserted at XACTION_START. If this
occurs, no further commands will ever succeed unless the state of the
controller is first cleared out.
Furthermore, the soft reset would only occur if the first command after insmod
was the one that timed out, not if a later command timed out.
This patch changes the retry/reset mechanism to be as follows:
Before retrying a command, clear the state of the BT controller such that the
flags represent ready for a new transaction. This increases the chance of
success of the restarted transaction.
After 2 retries, issue a soft reset and retry one more time before giving up
and reporting back a failure.

Some commands, on some system BMCs, don't respond at at all. This is seen on
Dell PowerEdge x6xx and x7xx systems with IPMI 1.0 BT controllers when a "Get
SDR" command is issued, with a length field of 0x3A, which happens to be the
length of about SDR entries. If another length is passed, this command
succeeds.
This patch adds general infrastructure for receiving commands before they're
passed down to the low-level drivers, such that they can be completed
immediately, or modified, prior to being sent to ->start_transaction().

they're used by systems management interrupts, not the host OS.
Make the OEM0 Data Available handler work for pre-IPMI 1.5 systems from Dell

A number of small changes for the various system interface drivers,
consolidated from a number of patches from Matt Domsch.
Clear B2H_ATN and drain the BMC message buffer on command timeout. This
prevents further commands from failing after a timeout.
Add bt_debug and smic_debug module parameters, expose them in sysfs. This
lets you enable and disable debugging messages at runtime.
Unsigned jiffies math in ipmi_si_intf.c causes a too-large value to be passed
to ->event() after jiffies wrap-around. The BT driver had caught this, but
didn't know how to fix it. Now all calls to ->event() use a sane value for
time.
Increase timeout for commands handed to the BT driver from 2 seconds to 5
seconds. This is necessary particularly when the previous command was a
"Clear SEL", as that command completes, yet the BMC isn't really ready to
handle another command yet.
Silence BT debugging messages which were being printed on the console.
Increase SMIC timeout form 1/10s to 2s. This is needed on Dell PowerEdge 2650
and PowerEdge 750 with ERA/O cards to allow commands to complete without
timing out.
Adds kcs_debug module param, to match behavior of BT and SMIC. This also
prevents messages from being sent to the console unless explicitly requested.

This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks
easily and I believe it is an important change. This has been out and tested
for a while in the latest IPMI driver release. There are no functional
changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few
minor style updates).
The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they
are in use. This is bad from a number of points of view. This patch removes
the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.

driver_unregister is not being properly called when the init function
returns an error case. Restructured the return logic such that this and
the other cleanups all happen in one place. Preformed many of the cleanups
that Andrew Morton's patch on Thursday made in tpm_atmel.c. Fixed
Matthieu's concern about writing before discovery.
(akpm: rmk said:
This driver is buggy. You must not provide your own release function - it
doesn't solve the problem which the warning (which you get when you don't
provide one) is telling you about.
You should convert your device driver over to the replacement dynamic platform
support, once it is merged. IOW, something like:
pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id);
if (pdev) {
err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources,
ARRAY_SIZE(resources));
if (err == 0)
err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data,
sizeof(platform_data));
if (err == 0)
err = platform_device_add(pdev);
} else {
err = -ENOMEM;
}
if (err)
platform_device_put(pdev);
)

There is a wrong BUG in mxser_close.

Manual #include fixups for clashes - there may be some unnecessary
|
|
|
|
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.
