* net-sched: sch_htb: remove write-only qdisc filter_cntPatrick McHardy2008-07-051-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The filter_cnt is supposed to count filter references to a class. Since the qdisc can't be the target of a filter, it doesn't need a filter_cnt. In fact the counter is never decreased since cls_api considers a return value of zero a failure and doesn't unbind again. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | Now that the qdisc isn't destroyed in hierarchical order anymore, the only user of the child lists left is htb_parent_last_child().

* net-sched: sch_htb: move hash and sibling list removal to htb_deletePatrick McHardy2008-07-051-23/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hash list removal currently happens twice (once in htb_delete, once in htb_destroy_class), which makes it harder to use the dynamically sized class hash without adding special cases for HTB. The reason is that qdisc destruction destroys classes in hierarchical order, which is not necessary if filters are destroyed in a separate iteration during qdisc destruction. Adjust qdisc destruction to follow the same scheme as other hierarchical qdiscs by first performing a filter destruction pass, then destroying all classes in hash order.

* net-sched: add dynamically sized qdisc class hash helpersPatrick McHardy2008-07-052-0/+146
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently all qdiscs which allow to create classes uses a fixed sized hash table with size 16 to hash the classes. This causes a large bottleneck when using thousands of classes and unbound filters. Add helpers for dynamically sized class hashes to fix this. The following patches will convert the qdiscs to use them. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Unfortunately it was also needed for cases other than eth_type_trans(). Adding it back.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unregistering a bridge device may cause virtual devices stacked on the bridge, like vlan or macvlan devices, to be unregistered as well. br_cleanup_bridges() uses for_each_netdev_safe() to iterate over all devices during cleanup. This is not enough however, if one of the additionally unregistered devices is next in the list to the bridge device, it will get freed as well and the iteration continues on the freed element. Restart iteration after each bridge device removal from the beginning to fix this, similar to what rtnl_link_unregister() does.

However, during module cleanup, remove_bridge() will only remove the notify handler iff the root bridge had a hot-pluggable slot directly underneath. That is: root bridge -> hotplug slot But, if the topology looks like either of the following: root bridge -> non-hotplug slot root bridge -> p2p bridge -> hotplug slot Then we currently do not remove the notify handler from that root bridge. This can cause a kernel oops if we modprobe acpiphp later and it gets loaded somewhere else in memory. If the root bridge then receives a hotplug event, it will then attempt to call a stale, non-existent notify handler and we blow up. Much thanks goes to Gary Hade for his persistent debugging efforts.

A nics, any read beyond the VPD end tag will hang the device. This problem was initially observed when a vpd entry was created in sysfs ('/sys/bus/pci/devices/<id>/vpd'). A read to this sysfs entry will dump 32k of data. Reading a full 32k will cause an access beyond the VPD end tag causing the device to hang. Once the device is hung, the bnx2 driver will not be able to reset the device. We believe that it is legal to read beyond the end tag and therefore the solution is to limit the read/write length. A majority of this patch is from Matthew Wilcox who gave code for reworking the PCI vpd size information. A PCI quirk added for the Broadcom NIC's to limit the read/write's.

Conceptually, that makes them sync writes and we should treat them as such so that the IO schedulers can handle them appropriately. This patch fixes a write starvation issue that Lin Ming reported, where xx is stuck for more than 2 minutes because of a large number of synchronous IO in the system: INFO: task kjournald:20558 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

It does the batch switch only after all requests from the previous batch are completed. When switching to a write batch, if there is an on-going read request, it waits for its completion and indicates its intention of switching by setting ad->changed_batch and the new direction but does not update the batch_expire_time for the new write batch which it does in the case of no previous pending requests. On completion of the read request, it sees that we were waiting for the switch and schedules work for kblockd right away and resets the ad->changed_data flag. Now when kblockd enters dispatch_request where it is expected to pick up a write request, it in turn ends the write batch because the batch_expire_timer was not updated and shows the expire timestamp for the previous batch. This results in the write starvation for all the cases where there is the intention for switching to a write batch, but there is a previous in-flight read request and the batch gets reverted to a read_batch right away. This also holds true in the reverse case (switching from a write batch to a read batch with an in-flight write request). I've checked that this bug exists on 2.6.11, 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and linux-2.6-block git HEAD. I've tested the fix on x86 platforms with SCSI drives where the driver asks for the next request while a current request is in-flight. This patch is based off linux-2.6-block git HEAD. Bug reproduction: A simple scenario which reproduces this bug is: - dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/null & - lilo The lilo takes forever to complete. This can also be reproduced fairly easily with the earlier dd and another test program doing msync(). The example test program below should print out a message after every iteration but it simply hangs forever. With this bugfix it makes forward progress. ==== Example test program using msync() (thanks to suleiman AT google DOT com) inline uint64_t rdtsc(void) { int64_t tsc; __asm __volatile("rdtsc" : "=A" (tsc)); return (tsc); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { struct stat st; uint64_t e, s, t; char *p, q; long i; int fd; if (argc < 2) { printf("Usage: %s <file>\n", argv[0]); return (1); } if ((fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_NOATIME)) < 0) err(1, "open"); if (fstat(fd, &st) < 0) err(1, "fstat"); p = mmap(NULL, st.st_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); t = 0; for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { *p = 0; msync(p, 4096, MS_SYNC); s = rdtsc(); *p = 0; __asm __volatile(""::: "memory"); e = rdtsc(); if (argc > 2) printf("%d: %lld cycles %jd %jd\n", i, e - s, (intmax_t)s, (intmax_t)e); t += e - s; } printf("average time: %lld cycles\n", t / 1000); return (0); } Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

If we didn't find an SRAT table and so pick the default "32" for the number of cpus, when we get to: high_cpu = min(high_cpu + reserve_cpus, NR_CPUS); we will end up initializing for just 31 cpus ... and so we will die horribly when bringing up cpu#32.
