git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "Lots of activity again this round for I/O performance optimizations (per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for vhost + iscsi/target), and the addition of new fabric independent features to target-core (COMPARE_AND_WRITE + EXTENDED_COPY). The main highlights include: - Support for iscsi-target login multiplexing across individual network portals - Generic Per-cpu IDA logic (kent + akpm + clameter) - Conversion of vhost to use per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for descriptors, SGLs and userspace page pointer list - Conversion of iscsi-target + iser-target to use per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for descriptors - Add support for generic COMPARE_AND_WRITE (AtomicTestandSet) emulation for virtual backend drivers - Add support for generic EXTENDED_COPY (CopyOffload) emulation for virtual backend drivers. - Add support for fast memory registration mode to iser-target (Vu) The patches to add COMPARE_AND_WRITE and EXTENDED_COPY support are of particular significance, which make us the first and only open source target to support the full set of VAAI primitives. Currently Linux clients are lacking upstream support to actually utilize these primitives. However, with server side support now in place for folks like MKP + ZAB working on the client, this logic once reserved for the highest end of storage arrays, can now be run in VMs on their laptops" * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (50 commits) target/iscsi: Bump versions to v4.1.0 target: Update copyright ownership/year information to 2013 iscsi-target: Bump default TCP listen backlog to 256 target: Fix >= v3.9+ regression in PR APTPL + ALUA metadata write-out iscsi-target; Bump default CmdSN Depth to 64 iscsi-target: Remove unnecessary wait_for_completion in iscsi_get_thread_set iscsi-target: Add thread_set->ts_activate_sem + use common deallocate iscsi-target: Fix race with thread_pre_handler flush_signals + ISCSI_THREAD_SET_DIE target: remove unused including <linux/version.h> iser-target: introduce fast memory registration mode (FRWR) iser-target: generalize rdma memory registration and cleanup iser-target: move rdma wr processing to a shared function target: Enable global EXTENDED_COPY setup/release target: Add Third Party Copy (3PC) bit in INQUIRY response target: Enable EXTENDED_COPY setup in spc_parse_cdb target: Add support for EXTENDED_COPY copy offload emulation target: Avoid non-existent tg_pt_gp_mem in target_alua_state_check target: Add global device list for EXTENDED_COPY target: Make helpers non static for EXTENDED_COPY command setup target: Make spc_parse_naa_6h_vendor_specific non static ...
2013-09-09idr: Percpu idaKent Overstreet
Percpu frontend for allocating ids. With percpu allocation (that works), it's impossible to guarantee it will always be possible to allocate all nr_tags - typically, some will be stuck on a remote percpu freelist where the current job can't get to them. We do guarantee that it will always be possible to allocate at least (nr_tags / 2) tags - this is done by keeping track of which and how many cpus have tags on their percpu freelists. On allocation failure if enough cpus have tags that there could potentially be (nr_tags / 2) tags stuck on remote percpu freelists, we then pick a remote cpu at random to steal from. Note that there's no cpu hotplug notifier - we don't care, because steal_tags() will eventually get the down cpu's tags. We _could_ satisfy more allocations if we had a notifier - but we'll still meet our guarantees and it's absolutely not a correctness issue, so I don't think it's worth the extra code. From akpm: "It looks OK to me (that's as close as I get to an ack :)) v6 changes: - Add #include <linux/cpumask.h> to include/linux/percpu_ida.h to make alpha/arc builds happy (Fengguang) - Move second (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) check inside of first check scope in steal_tags() (akpm + nab) v5 changes: - Change percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags to cpumask_t (kmo + akpm) - Add comment for percpu_ida_cpu->lock + ->nr_free (kmo + akpm) - Convert steal_tags() to use cpumask_weight() + cpumask_next() + cpumask_first() + cpumask_clear_cpu() (kmo + akpm) - Add comment for alloc_global_tags() (kmo + akpm) - Convert percpu_ida_alloc() to use cpumask_set_cpu() (kmo + akpm) - Convert percpu_ida_free() to use cpumask_set_cpu() (kmo + akpm) - Drop percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags allocation in percpu_ida_init() (kmo + akpm) - Drop percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags kfree in percpu_ida_destroy() (kmo + akpm) - Add comment for percpu_ida_alloc @ gfp (kmo + akpm) - Move to percpu_ida.c + percpu_ida.h (kmo + akpm + nab) v4 changes: - Fix tags.c reference in percpu_ida_init (akpm) Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: "Nicholas A.

2013-07-09lib: add lz4 compressor moduleChanho Min
This patchset is for supporting LZ4 compression and the crypto API using it. As shown below, the size of data is a little bit bigger but compressing speed is faster under the enabled unaligned memory access. We can use lz4 de/compression through crypto API as well. Also, It will be useful for another potential user of lz4 compression. lz4 Compression Benchmark: Compiler: ARM gcc 4.6.4 ARMv7, 1 GHz based board Kernel: linux 3.4 Uncompressed data Size: 101 MB Compressed Size compression Speed LZO 72.1MB 32.1MB/s, 33.0MB/s(UA) LZ4 75.1MB 30.4MB/s, 35.9MB/s(UA) LZ4HC 59.8MB 2.4MB/s, 2.5MB/s(UA) - UA: Unaligned memory Access support - Latest patch set for LZO applied This patch: Add support for LZ4 compression in the Linux Kernel. LZ4 Compression APIs for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation by Yann Collet and were changed for kernel coding style. LZ4 homepage : http://fastcompression.blogspot.com/p/lz4.html LZ4 source repository : http://code.google.com/p/lz4/ svn revision : r90 Two APIs are added: lz4_compress() support basic lz4 compression whereas lz4hc_compress() support high compression or CPU performance get lower but compression ratio get higher. Also, we require the pre-allocated working memory with the defined size and destination buffer must be allocated with the size of lz4_compressbound.

2013-06-03percpu: implement generic percpu refcountingKent Overstreet
This implements a refcount with similar semantics to atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test() - but percpu. It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the percpu counts. Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate barriers (synchronize_rcu()). It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown synchronization.

2013-04-30Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKSStephen Boyd
The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc. To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls. While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

2012-12-17percpu_rw_semaphore: reimplement to not block the readers unnecessarilyOleg Nesterov
Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are blocked completely. Even if the "write" section was not actually started or if it was already finished. With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the slow path. percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers. Also. With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with barrier.

2012-10-09rbtree: add prio tree and interval tree testsMichel Lespinasse
Patch 1 implements support for interval trees, on top of the augmented rbtree API. It also adds synthetic tests to compare the performance of interval trees vs prio trees. Short answers is that interval trees are slightly faster (~25%) on insert/erase, and much faster (~2.4 - 3x) on search. It is debatable how realistic the synthetic test is, and I have not made such measurements yet, but my impression is that interval trees would still come out faster. Patch 2 uses a preprocessor template to make the interval tree generic, and uses it as a replacement for the vma prio_tree. Patch 3 takes the other prio_tree user, kmemleak, and converts it to use a basic rbtree. We don't actually need the augmented rbtree support here because the intervals are always non-overlapping. Patch 4 removes the now-unused prio tree library. Patch 5 proposes an additional optimization to rb_erase_augmented, now providing it as an inline function so that the augmented callbacks can be inlined in. This provides an additional 5-10% performance improvement for the interval tree insert/erase benchmark. There is a maintainance cost as it exposes augmented rbtree users to some of the rbtree library internals; however I think this cost shouldn't be too high as I expect the augmented rbtree will always have much less users than the base rbtree. I should probably add a quick summary of why I think it makes sense to replace prio trees with augmented rbtree based interval trees now. One of the drivers is that we need augmented rbtrees for Rik's vma gap finding code, and once you have them, it just makes sense to use them for interval trees as well, as this is the simpler and more well known algorithm. prio trees, in comparison, seem *too* clever: they impose an additional 'heap' constraint on the tree, which they use to guarantee a faster worst-case complexity of O(k+log N) for stabbing queries in a well-balanced prio tree, vs O(k*log N) for interval trees (where k=number of matches, N=number of intervals). Now this sounds great, but in practice prio trees don't realize this theorical benefit. First, the additional constraint makes them harder to update, so that the kernel implementation has to simplify things by balancing them like a radix tree, which is not always ideal. Second, the fact that there are both index and heap properties makes both tree manipulation and search more complex, which results in a higher multiplicative time constant. As it turns out, the simple interval tree algorithm ends up running faster than the more clever prio tree. This patch: Add two test modules: - prio_tree_test measures the performance of lib/prio_tree.c, both for insertion/removal and for stabbing searches - interval_tree_test measures the performance of a library of equivalent functionality, built using the augmented rbtree support. In order to support the second test module, lib/interval_tree.c is introduced. It is kept separate from the interval_tree_test main file for two reasons: first we don't want to provide an unfair advantage over prio_tree_test by having everything in a single compilation unit, and second there is the possibility that the interval tree functionality could get some non-test users in kernel over time.

2012-10-08X.509: Add an ASN.1 decoderDavid Howells
Add an ASN.1 BER/DER/CER decoder. This uses the bytecode from the ASN.1 compiler in the previous patch to inform it as to what to expect to find in the encoded byte stream. The output from the compiler also tells it what functions to call on what tags, thus allowing the caller to retrieve information. The decoder is called as follows: int asn1_decoder(const struct asn1_decoder *decoder, void *context, const unsigned char *data, size_t datalen); The decoder argument points to the bytecode from the ASN.1 compiler. context is the caller's context and is passed to the action functions. data and datalen define the byte stream to be decoded. Note that the decoder is currently limited to datalen being less than 64K. This reduces the amount of stack space used by the decoder because ASN.1 is a nested construct. Similarly, the decoder is limited to a maximum of 10 levels of constructed data outside of a leaf node also in an effort to keep stack usage down. These restrictions can be raised if necessary.

All other lines in the header are ignored. The registry is queries by calling: OID look_up_oid(const void *data, size_t datasize); This returns a number from the registry enum representing the OID if found or OID__NR if not.

David had already taken the x86 strncpy_from_user() function, modified it to work on sparc, and then done the extra work to make it generically useful. This then expands on that work by making x86 use that generic version, completing the circle. But more importantly, it fixes up the word-at-a-time interfaces so that it's now easy to also support things like strnlen_user(), and pretty much most random string functions. David reports that it all works fine on sparc, and Jonas Bonn reported that an earlier version of this worked on OpenRISC too. It's pretty easy for architectures to add support for this and just replace their private versions with the generic code. * generic-string-functions: sparc: use the new generic strnlen_user() function x86: use the new generic strnlen_user() function lib: add generic strnlen_user() function word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine

MX23/28 use IP cores which follow a register layout I have first seen on STMP3xxx SoCs. In this layout, every register actually has four u32: 1.) to store a value directly 2.) a SET register where every 1-bit sets the corresponding bit, others are unaffected 3.) same with a CLR register 4.) same with a TOG (toggle) register Also, the 2 MSBs in register 0 are always the same and can be used to reset the IP core. All this is strictly speaking not mach-specific (but IP core specific) and, thus, doesn't need to be in mach-mxs/include. At least mx6 also uses IP cores following this stmp-style. So: Introduce a stmp-style device, put the code and defines for that in a public place (lib/), and let drivers for stmp-style devices select that code. To avoid regressions and ease reviewing, the actual code is simply copied from mach-mxs. It definately wants updates, but those need a seperate patch series. Voila, mach dependency gone, reusable code introduced. Note that I didn't remove the duplicated code from mach-mxs yet, first the drivers have to be converted.
