trace: module: Maintain a valid user count

2014-06-07T23:02:02Z

commit 098507ae3ec2331476fb52e85d4040c1cc6d0ef4 upstream. The replacement of the 'count' variable by two variables 'incs' and 'decs' to resolve some race conditions during module unloading was done in parallel with some cleanup in the trace subsystem, and was integrated as a merge. Unfortunately, the formula for this replacement was wrong in the tracing code, and the refcount in the traces was not usable as a result. Use 'count = incs - decs' to compute the user count.

blktrace: fix accounting of partially completed requests

2014-05-18T12:25:55Z

commit af5040da01ef980670b3741b3e10733ee3e33566 upstream. trace_block_rq_complete does not take into account that request can be partially completed, so we can get the following incorrect output of blkparser: C R 232 + 240 [0] C R 240 + 232 [0] C R 248 + 224 [0] C R 256 + 216 [0] but should be: C R 232 + 8 [0] C R 240 + 8 [0] C R 248 + 8 [0] C R 256 + 8 [0] Also, the whole output summary statistics of completed requests and final throughput will be incorrect. This patch takes into account real completion size of the request and fixes wrong completion accounting.

xen/mmu: Use Xen specific TLB flush instead of the generic one.

2012-11-17T21:15:54Z

commit 95a7d76897c1e7243d4137037c66d15cbf2cce76 upstream. As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb) we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor do it correctly. This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating idle guest's from one host to another.

tracing: Don't call page_to_pfn() if page is NULL

2012-10-02T17:30:08Z

commit 85f2a2ef1d0ab99523e0b947a2b723f5650ed6aa upstream. When allocating memory fails, page is NULL. page_to_pfn() will cause the kernel panicked if we don't use sparsemem vmemmap.

tracing, sched, vfs: Fix 'old_pid' usage in trace_sched_process_exec()

2012-03-31T09:53:22Z

1. TRACE_EVENT(sched_process_exec) forgets to actually use the old pid argument, it sets ->old_pid = p->pid. 2. search_binary_handler() uses the wrong pid number. tracepoint needs the global pid_t from the root namespace, while old_pid is the virtual pid number as it seen by the tracer/parent. With this patch we have two pid_t's in search_binary_handler(), not really nice. Perhaps we should switch to "struct pid*", but in this case it would be better to cleanup the current code first and move the "depth == 0" code outside.

2012-03-30T19:44:29Z

Pull btrfs fixes and features from Chris Mason: "We've merged in the error handling patches from SuSE. These are already shipping in the sles kernel, and they give btrfs the ability to abort transactions and go readonly on errors. It involves a lot of churn as they clarify BUG_ONs, and remove the ones we now properly deal with. Josef reworked the way our metadata interacts with the page cache. page->private now points to the btrfs extent_buffer object, which makes everything faster. He changed it so we write an whole extent buffer at a time instead of allowing individual pages to go down,, which will be important for the raid5/6 code (for the 3.5 merge window ;) Josef also made us more aggressive about dropping pages for metadata blocks that were freed due to COW. Overall, our metadata caching is much faster now. We've integrated my patch for metadata bigger than the page size. This allows metadata blocks up to 64KB in size. In practice 16K and 32K seem to work best. For workloads with lots of metadata, this cuts down the size of the extent allocation tree dramatically and fragments much less. Scrub was updated to support the larger block sizes, which ended up being a fairly large change (thanks Stefan Behrens). We also have an assortment of fixes and updates, especially to the balancing code (Ilya Dryomov), the back ref walker (Jan Schmidt) and the defragging code (Liu Bo)." Fixed up trivial conflicts in fs/btrfs/scrub.c that were just due to removal of the second argument to k[un]map_atomic() in commit 7ac687d9e047. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: (75 commits) Btrfs: update the checks for mixed block groups with big metadata blocks Btrfs: update to the right index of defragment Btrfs: do not bother to defrag an extent if it is a big real extent Btrfs: add a check to decide if we should defrag the range Btrfs: fix recursive defragment with autodefrag option Btrfs: fix the mismatch of page->mapping Btrfs: fix race between direct io and autodefrag Btrfs: fix deadlock during allocating chunks Btrfs: show useful info in space reservation tracepoint Btrfs: don't use crc items bigger than 4KB Btrfs: flush out and clean up any block device pages during mount btrfs: disallow unequal data/metadata blocksize for mixed block groups Btrfs: enhance superblock sanity checks Btrfs: change scrub to support big blocks Btrfs: minor cleanup in scrub Btrfs: introduce common define for max number of mirrors Btrfs: fix infinite loop in btrfs_shrink_device() Btrfs: fix memory leak in resolver code Btrfs: allow dup for data chunks in mixed mode Btrfs: validate target profiles only if we are going to use them ...

The same is true of the change to remove the s_dirt helper functions which never got used by anyone in-tree. I've run these changes by Al Viro, and am carrying them so that Artem can more easily fix up the rest of the file systems during the next merge window. (Originally we had hopped to remove the use of s_dirt from ext4 during this merge window, but his patches had some bugs, so I ultimately ended dropping them from the ext4 tree.)" * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (66 commits) vfs: remove unused superblock helpers mm: export dirty_writeback_interval ext4: remove useless s_dirt assignment ext4: write superblock only once on unmount ext4: do not mark superblock as dirty unnecessarily ext4: correct ext4_punch_hole return codes ext4: remove restrictive checks for EOFBLOCKS_FL ext4: always set then trimmed blocks count into len ext4: fix trimmed block count accunting ext4: fix start and len arguments handling in ext4_trim_fs() ext4: update s_free_{inodes,blocks}_count during online resize ext4: change some printk() calls to use ext4_msg() instead ext4: avoid output message interleaving in ext4_error_() ext4: remove trailing newlines from ext4_msg() and ext4_error() messages ext4: add no_printk argument validation, fix fallout ext4: remove redundant "EXT4-fs: " from uses of ext4_msg ext4: give more helpful error message in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() ext4: remove unused code from ext4_ext_map_blocks() ext4: rewrite punch hole to use ext4_ext_remove_space() jbd2: cleanup journal tail after transaction commit ...

Pull avoidance patches from Paul Gortmaker: "Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like: void foo(struct device *dev); and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the sub fields within the device struct. This allows us to significantly reduce the scope of headers including headers. For this instance, a reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct. Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two commits. One to fix the implicit users, and then one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever possible." * tag 'device-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir device.h: cleanup users outside of linux/include (C files)
