2013-05-02[SCSI] fnic: Kernel panic due to FIP mode misconfigurationHiral Patel
If switch configured in FIP and adapter configured in non-fip mode, driver panics while queueing FIP frame in non-existing fip_frame_queue. Added config check before queueing FIP frame in misconfiguration case to avoid kernel panic. Signed-off-by: Hiral Patel <hiralpat@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>
2013-05-02[SCSI] fnic: FIP VLAN Discovery Feature SupportHiral Patel
FIP VLAN discovery discovers the FCoE VLAN that will be used by all other FIP protocols as well as by the FCoE encapsulation for Fibre Channel payloads on the established virtual link. One of the goals of FC-BB-5 was to be as nonintrusive as possible on initiators and targets, and therefore FIP VLAN discovery occurs in the native VLAN used by the initiator or target to exchange Ethernet traffic. The FIP VLAN discovery protocol is the only FIP protocol running on the native VLAN; all other FIP protocols run on the discovered FCoE VLANs. If an administrator has manually configured FCoE VLANs on ENodes and FCFs, there is no need to use this protocol. FIP and FCoE will run over the configured VLANs. An ENode without FCoE VLANs configuration would use this automated discovery protocol to discover over which VLANs FCoE is running. The ENode sends a FIP VLAN discovery request to a multicast MAC address called All-FCF-MACs, which is a multicast MAC address to which all FCFs listen. All FCFs that can be reached in the native VLAN of the ENode are expected to respond on the same VLAN with a response that lists one or more FCoE VLANs that are available for the ENode's VN_Port login. This protocol has the sole purpose of allowing the ENode to discover all the available FCoE VLANs. Now the ENode may enable a subset of these VLANs for FCoE Running the FIP protocol in these VLANs on a per VLAN basis. And FCoE data transactions also would occur on this VLAN. Hence, Except for FIP VLAN discovery, all other FIP and FCoE traffic runs on the selected FCoE VLAN. Its only the FIP VLAN Discovery protocol that is permitted to run on the Default native VLAN of the system. [**** NOTE ****] We are working on moving this feature definitions and functionality to libfcoe module. We need this patch to be approved, as Suse is looking forward to merge this feature in SLES 11 SP3 release. Once this patch is approved, we will submit patch which should move vlan discovery feature to libfoce.

2013-05-01af_unix: fix a fatal race with bit fieldsEric Dumazet
Using bit fields is dangerous on ppc64/sparc64, as the compiler [1] uses 64bit instructions to manipulate them. If the 64bit word includes any atomic_t or spinlock_t, we can lose critical concurrent changes. This is happening in af_unix, where unix_sk(sk)->gc_candidate/ gc_maybe_cycle/lock share the same 64bit word. This leads to fatal deadlock, as one/several cpus spin forever on a spinlock that will never be available again. A safer way would be to use a long to store flags. This way we are sure compiler/arch wont do bad things. As we own unix_gc_lock spinlock when clearing or setting bits, we can use the non atomic __set_bit()/__clear_bit(). recursion_level can share the same 64bit location with the spinlock, as it is set only with this spinlock held.

When mutex debugging is enabled, the above warns the user when we are in fact exectuting in interrupt context interrupt context. After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use here. While mutexes are defined to be unusable in interrupt context, no such condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).

2013-05-01init: Do not warn on non-zero initcall returnSteven Rostedt
Commit f91eb62f71b3 ("init: scream bloody murder if interrupts are enabled too early") added three new warnings. The first two seemed reasonable, but the third included a warning when an initcall returned non-zero. Although, the third WARN() does include an imbalanced preempt disabled, or irqs disable, it shouldn't warn if it only had an initcall that just returns non-zero. In fact, according to Linus, it shouldn't print at all. As it only prints with initcall_debug set, and that already shows enough information to fix things.

2013-05-01Merge branch 'ipc-scalability'Linus Torvalds
Merge IPC cleanup and scalability patches from Andrew Morton. This cleans up many of the oddities in the IPC code, uses the list iterator helpers, splits out locking and adds per-semaphore locks for greater scalability of the IPC semaphore code. Most normal user-level locking by now uses futexes (ie pthreads, but also a lot of specialized locks), but SysV IPC semaphores are apparently still used in some big applications, either for portability reasons, or because they offer tracking and undo (and you don't need to have a special shared memory area for them). Our IPC semaphore scalability was pitiful. We used to lock much too big ranges, and we used to have a single ipc lock per ipc semaphore array. Most loads never cared, but some do.

2013-05-01ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedopRik van Riel
Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with multiple semaphores. If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself. If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores. On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this: vanilla Davidlohr's Davidlohr's + Davidlohr's + threads patches rwlock patches v3 patches 10 610652 726325 1783589 2142206 20 341570 365699 1520453 1977878 30 288102 307037 1498167 2037995 40 290714 305955 1612665 2256484 50 288620 312890 1733453 2650292 60 289987 306043 1649360 2388008 70 291298 306347 1723167 2717486 80 290948 305662 1729545 2763582 90 290996 306680 1736021 2757524 100 292243 306700 1773700 3059159 [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: do not call sem_lock when bogus sma] [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: make refcounter atomic] Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Cc: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@hp.com> Cc: Jason Low <jason.low2@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Tested-by: Emmanuel Benisty <benisty.e@gmail.com> Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Some numbers.... 1) With Rik's semop-multi.c microbenchmark we can see the following results: Baseline (3.9-rc1): cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs total operations: 151452270, ops/sec 5048409 + 59.40% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 6.14% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sys_semtimedop + 3.84% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] avc_has_perm_flags + 3.64% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __audit_syscall_exit + 2.06% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string + 1.86% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_lock With this patchset: cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs total operations: 273156400, ops/sec 9105213 + 18.54% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 11.72% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sys_semtimedop + 7.70% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_has_perm.isra.21 + 6.58% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] avc_has_perm_flags + 6.54% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __audit_syscall_exit + 4.71% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_obtain_object_check 2) While on an Oracle swingbench DSS (data mining) workload the improvements are not as exciting as with Rik's benchmark, we can see some positive numbers. For an 8 socket machine the following are the percentages of %sys time incurred in the ipc lock: Baseline (3.9-rc1): 100 swingbench users: 8,74% 400 swingbench users: 21,86% 800 swingbench users: 84,35% With this patchset: 100 swingbench users: 8,11% 400 swingbench users: 19,93% 800 swingbench users: 77,69% [riel@redhat.com: fix two locking bugs] [sasha.levin@oracle.com: prevent releasing RCU read lock twice in semctl_main] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@hp.com> Acked-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Jason Low <jason.low2@hp.com> Cc: Emmanuel Benisty <benisty.e@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-05-01ipc: introduce lockless pre_down ipcctlDavidlohr Bueso
Various forms of ipc use ipcctl_pre_down() to retrieve an ipc object and check permissions, mostly for IPC_RMID and IPC_SET commands. Introduce ipcctl_pre_down_nolock(), a lockless version of this function. The locking version is retained, yet modified to call the nolock version without affecting its semantics, thus transparent to all ipc callers.

2013-05-01ipc: introduce obtaining a lockless ipc objectDavidlohr Bueso
Through ipc_lock() and therefore ipc_lock_check() we currently return the locked ipc object. This is not necessary for all situations and can, therefore, cause unnecessary ipc lock contention. Introduce analogous ipc_obtain_object() and ipc_obtain_object_check() functions that only lookup and return the ipc object. Both these functions must be called within the RCU read critical section.

2013-05-01ipc: remove bogus lock comment for ipc_checkidDavidlohr Bueso
This series makes the sysv semaphore code more scalable, by reducing the time the semaphore lock is held, and making the locking more scalable for semaphore arrays with multiple semaphores. The first four patches were written by Davidlohr Buesso, and reduce the hold time of the semaphore lock. The last three patches change the sysv semaphore code locking to be more fine grained, providing a performance boost when multiple semaphores in a semaphore array are being manipulated simultaneously. On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this: vanilla Davidlohr's Davidlohr's + Davidlohr's + threads patches rwlock patches v3 patches 10 610652 726325 1783589 2142206 20 341570 365699 1520453 1977878 30 288102 307037 1498167 2037995 40 290714 305955 1612665 2256484 50 288620 312890 1733453 2650292 60 289987 306043 1649360 2388008 70 291298 306347 1723167 2717486 80 290948 305662 1729545 2763582 90 290996 306680 1736021 2757524 100 292243 306700 1773700 3059159 This patch: There is no reason to be holding the ipc lock while reading ipcp->seq, hence remove misleading comment.

2013-05-01tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take threeLinus Torvalds
We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit b0de59b5733d: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c76595: "TTY: fix atime/mtime regression"), but it turns out that this was both insufficient and overkill. It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an idle person from an active one with 'w'. So this tries to fix the problem properly. It marks the shared ptmx node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is active or not.

2013-05-01dma-buf: replace dma_buf_export() with dma_buf_export_named()Sumit Semwal
For debugging purposes, it is useful to have a name-string added while exporting buffers. Hence, dma_buf_export() is replaced with dma_buf_export_named(), which additionally takes 'exp_name' as a parameter. For backward compatibility, and for lazy exporters who don't wish to name themselves, a #define dma_buf_export() is also made available, which adds a __FILE__ instead of 'exp_name'.
