2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: knfsd: cache ipmap per TCP socketGreg Banks
Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache hashtable on every call. This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication over TCP. Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16 synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e. recursive directory listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480 regular files in 10841 directories) on the server. That tree is small enough to fill in the server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved. This setup gives a sustained call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec before being CPU-bound on the server. Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%. This patch drops both contribution into the profile noise. Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most workloads. The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash. Because the kernel measured contained the bug fixed in commit commit 1f1e030bf75774b6a283518e1534d598e14147d4 and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64 entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup(). With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of performance improvement. This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: Allow max size of NFSd payload to be configuredNeilBrown
The max possible is the maximum RPC payload. The default depends on amount of total memory. The value can be set within reason as long as no nfsd threads are currently running. The value can also be ready, allowing the default to be determined after nfsd has started.

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: Prepare knfsd for support of rsize/wsize of up to 1MB, over TCPGreg Banks
The limit over UDP remains at 32K. Also, make some of the apparently arbitrary sizing constants clearer. The biggest change here involves replacing NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE by a function of the rqstp. This allows it to be different for different protocols (udp/tcp) and also allows it to depend on the servers declared sv_bufsiz. Note that we don't actually increase sv_bufsz for nfs yet. That comes next.

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: Avoid excess stack usage in svc_tcp_recvfromNeilBrown
.. by allocating the array of 'kvec' in 'struct svc_rqst'. As we plan to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from 8 upto 256, we can no longer allocate an array of this size on the stack. So we allocate it in 'struct svc_rqst'. However svc_rqst contains (indirectly) an array of the same type and size (actually several, but they are in a union). So rather than waste space, we move those arrays out of the separately allocated union and into svc_rqst to share with the kvec moved out of svc_tcp_recvfrom (various arrays are used at different times, so there is no conflict).

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: Replace two page lists in struct svc_rqst with oneNeilBrown
We are planning to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from about 8 to about 256. This means we need to be a bit careful about arrays of size RPCSVC_MAXPAGES. struct svc_rqst contains two such arrays. However the there are never more that RPCSVC_MAXPAGES pages in the two arrays together, so only one array is needed. The two arrays are for the pages holding the request, and the pages holding the reply. Instead of two arrays, we can simply keep an index into where the first reply page is. This patch also removes a number of small inline functions that probably server to obscure what is going on rather than clarify it, and opencode the needed functionality. Also remove the 'rq_restailpage' variable as it is *always* 0. i.e. if the response 'xdr' structure has a non-empty tail it is always in the same pages as the head. check counters are initilised and incr properly check for consistant usage of ++ etc maybe extra some inlines for common approach general review Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Magnus Maatta <novell@kiruna.se> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-03[MIPS] BCM1250: TRDY timeout tweaks for Broadcom SiByte systemsMaciej W. Rozycki
It was obesrved that at least one older PCI card predating the requirement for the TRDY signal to respond within 16 clock ticks actually does not meet this rule nor even the power-on defaults of the PCI bridges found in development systems built around the Broadcom SiByte SOCs. Here is a patch that bumps up the timeout to the highest finite value supported by these chips, which is 255 clock ticks. The bridges affected are the SiByte SOC itself and the SP1011. This change does not effectively affect systems only having PCI option cards installed that meet the TRDY requirement of the current PCI spec. The rule was introduced with PCI 2.1, so any older card may make the system affected. If this is the case, performance of the system will suffer in return for the card working at all. If this is a concern, then the solution is not to use such cards. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> ---

2006-10-03[PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmapPaul Clements
Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied. The interface is write-only, and is used as follows: echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap (dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk bitmaps of array md2) echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap (dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap) This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

2006-10-03[PATCH] fbdev: Add generic ddc read functionalityDennis Munsie
Adds functionality to read the EDID information over the DDC bus in a generic way. This code is based on the DDC implementation in the radeon driver. [adaplas] - separate from fbmon.c and place in new file fb_ddc.c - remove dependency to CONFIG_I2C and CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT, otherwise, feature will not compile if i2c support is compiled as a module - feature is selectable only by drivers needing it. It must have a 'select FB_DDC if xxx' in Kconfig - change printk's to dev_*, the i2c people prefers it Signed-off-by: Dennis Munsie <dmunsie@cecropia.com> Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-10-03[PATCH] ide: Fix crash on repeated resetAlan Cox
Michal Miroslaw reported a problem (bugzilla #7023) where a user initiated reset while the IDE layer was already resetting the channel caused a crash, and provided a rough fix. This is a slightly cleaner version of the fix which tracks the reset state and blocks further reset requests while a reset is in progress. Note this is not a security issue - random end users can't access the ioctl in question anyway.

2006-10-03[PATCH] Make number of IDE interfaces configurableMatt Mackall
Make IDE_HWIFS configurable if EMBEDDED This lets us lop as much as 16k off an x86 build. It's a little ugly, but it's dead simple. Note the fix for HWIFS < 2.

2006-10-03[PATCH] sched: cleanup sched_group cpu_power setupSiddha, Suresh B
Up to now sched group's cpu_power for each sched domain is initialized independently. This made the setup code ugly as the new sched domains are getting added. Make the sched group cpu_power setup code generic, by using domain child field and new domain flag in sched_domain. For most of the sched domains(except NUMA), sched group's cpu_power is now computed generically using the domain properties of itself and of the child domain. sched groups in NUMA domains are setup little differently and hence they don't use this generic mechanism.
