561ec68e4d block: fix boot failure with CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT=y and nash
We run into system boot failure with kernel 2.6.28-rc. We found it on a
couple of machines, including T61 notebook, nehalem machine, and another
HPC NX6325 notebook.  All the machines use FedoraCore 8 or FedoraCore 9.
With kernel prior to 2.6.28-rc, system boot doesn't fail.

I debug it and locate the root cause. Pls. see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11899
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471517

As a matter of fact, there are 2 bugs.

1)root=/dev/sda1, system boot randomly fails. Mostly, boot for 5 times
and fails once. nash has a bug. Some of its functions misuse return
value 0.  Sometimes, 0 means timeout and no uevent available. Sometimes,
0 means nash gets an uevent, but the uevent isn't block-related (for
exmaple, usb). If by coincidence, kernel tells nash that uevents are
available, but kernel also set timeout, nash might stops collecting
other uevents in queue if current uevent isn't block-related.  I work
out a patch for nash to fix it.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18858

2) root=LABEL=/, system always can't boot. initrd init reports
switchroot fails. Here is an executation branch of nash when booting:
    (1) nash read /sys/block/sda/dev; Assume major is 8 (on my desktop)
    (2) nash query /proc/devices with the major number; It found line
	"8 sd";
    (3) nash use 'sd' to search its own probe table to find device (DISK)
	type for the device and add it to its own list;
    (4) Later on, it probes all devices in its list to get filesystem
	labels; scsi register "8 sd" always.

When major is 259, nash fails to find the device(DISK) type. I enables
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT=y when compiling kernel, so 259 is picked up
for device /dev/sda1, which causes nash to fail to find device (DISK)
type.

To fixing issue 2), I create a patch for nash and another patch for
kernel.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18859
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18837

Below is the patch for kernel 2.6.28-rc4. It registers blkext, a new
block device in proc/devices.

With 2 patches on nash and 1 patch on kernel, I boot my machines for
dozens of times without failure.

e270219f43 kernel/profile.c: fix section mismatch warning
Impact: fix section mismatch warning in kernel/profile.c

Here, profile_nop function has been called from a non-init function
create_hash_tables(void). Which generetes a section mismatch warning.
Previously, create_hash_tables(void) was a init function. So, removing
__init from create_hash_tables(void) requires profile_nop to be
non-init.

This patch makes profile_nop function inline and fixes the
following warning:

 WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6ebb6): Section mismatch in reference from
 the function create_hash_tables() to the function
 .init.text:profile_nop()
 The function create_hash_tables() references
 the function __init profile_nop().
 This is often because create_hash_tables lacks a __init
 annotation or the annotation of profile_nop is wrong.

700018e0a7 cpuset: fix regression when failed to generate sched domains
Impact: properly rebuild sched-domains on kmalloc() failure

When cpuset failed to generate sched domains due to kmalloc()
failure, the scheduler should fallback to the single partition
'fallback_doms' and rebuild sched domains, but now it only
destroys but not rebuilds sched domains.

The regression was introduced by:

| Date:   Fri Aug 29 13:11:41 2008 -0700
|
|    sched: arch_reinit_sched_domains() must destroy domains to force rebuild

After the above commit, partition_sched_domains(0, NULL, NULL) will
only destroy sched domains and partition_sched_domains(1, NULL, NULL)
will create the default sched domain.

b066a48c95 prevent cifs_writepages() from skipping unwritten pages
Fixes a data corruption under heavy stress in which pages could be left
dirty after all open instances of a inode have been closed.

In order to write contiguous pages whenever possible, cifs_writepages()
asks pagevec_lookup_tag() for more pages than it may write at one time.
Normally, it then resets index just past the last page written before calling
pagevec_lookup_tag() again.

If cifs_writepages() can't write the first page returned, it wasn't resetting
index, and the next call to pagevec_lookup_tag() resulted in skipping all of
the pages it previously returned, even though cifs_writepages() did nothing
with them.  This can result in data loss when the file descriptor is about
to be closed.

This patch ensures that index gets set back to the next returned page so
that none get skipped.

93ce99e849 x86: add rdtsc barrier to TSC sync check
Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock

Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has
a regression on one of the test systems here.

With the patch, I see:

 checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
 Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
 Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed

Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs:

 checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.

Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable.
This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit.

As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add
explicit syncs as below?

1e74f3000b swiotlb: use coherent_dma_mask in alloc_coherent
Impact: fix DMA buffer allocation coherency bug in certain configs

This patch fixes swiotlb to use dev->coherent_dma_mask in
swiotlb_alloc_coherent().

coherent_dma_mask is a subset of dma_mask (equal to it most of
the time), enumerating the address range that a given device
is able to DMA to/from in a cache-coherent way.

But currently, swiotlb uses dev->dma_mask in alloc_coherent()
implicitly via address_needs_mapping(), but alloc_coherent is really
supposed to use coherent_dma_mask.

This bug could break drivers that uses smaller coherent_dma_mask than
dma_mask (though the current code works for the majority that use the
same mask for coherent_dma_mask and dma_mask).

integer argument (val) is required and whether routines being called do
their own locking.

Some options (such as setting the CCID) use u8 rather than int, so that for
these the test with regard to integer-sizeof can not be used.

The second switch-case statement now only has those statements which need
locking and which make use of `val'.

dd9c0e363c dccp: Deprecate Ack Ratio sysctl
This patch deprecates the Ack Ratio sysctl, since
 * Ack Ratio is entirely ignored by CCID-3 and CCID-4,
 * Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1);
 * even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it:
   - Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2),
   - if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts
     (since waiting for Acks which will never arrive in this window),
   - cwnd is not a user-configurable value.

The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is
planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe.

With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation:
 * Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID;
 * if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to
   the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack
   Ratio 2 for both endpoints";
 * what happens then is part of another patch set, since it concerns the
   dynamic update of Ack Ratio while the connection is in full flight.

2945055984 dccp: Feature negotiation for minimum-checksum-coverage
This provides feature negotiation for server minimum checksum coverage
which so far has been missing.

Since sender/receiver coverage values range only from 0...15, their
type has also been reduced in size from u16 to u4.

Feature-negotiation options are now generated for both sender and receiver
coverage, i.e. when the peer has `forgotten' to enable partial coverage
then feature negotiation will automatically enable (negotiate) the partial

49aebc66d6 dccp: Deprecate old setsockopt framework
The previous setsockopt interface, which passed socket options via struct
dccp_so_feat, is complicated/difficult to use. Continuing to support it leads to
ugly code since the old approach did not distinguish between NN and SP values.

This patch removes the old setsockopt interface and replaces it with two new
functions to register NN/SP values for feature negotiation. 
These are essentially wrappers around the internal __feat_register functions,
with checking added to avoid

 * wrong usage (type);
 * changing values while the connection is in progress.

0c1168398e dccp: Mechanism to resolve CCID dependencies
This adds a hook to resolve features whose value depends on the choice of
CCID. It is done at the server since it can only be done after the CCID
values have been negotiated; i.e. the client will add its CCID preference
list on the Change options sent in the Request, which will be reconciled
with the local preference list of the server.

The concept is documented on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\

3f2c31d903 virtio_net: VIRTIO_NET_F_MSG_RXBUF (imprive rcv buffer allocation)
If segmentation offload is enabled by the host, we currently allocate
maximum sized packet buffers and pass them to the host. This uses up
20 ring entries, allowing us to supply only 20 packet buffers to the
host with a 256 entry ring. This is a huge overhead when receiving
small packets, and is most keenly felt when receiving MTU sized
packets from off-host.

The VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature flag is set by hosts which support
using receive buffers which are smaller than the maximum packet size.
In order to transfer large packets to the guest, the host merges
together multiple receive buffers to form a larger logical buffer.
The number of merged buffers is returned to the guest via a field in
the virtio_net_hdr.

Make use of this support by supplying single page receive buffers to
the host. On receive, we extract the virtio_net_hdr, copy 128 bytes of
the payload to the skb's linear data buffer and adjust the fragment
offset to point to the remaining data. This ensures proper alignment
and allows us to not use any paged data for small packets. If the
payload occupies multiple pages, we simply append those pages as
fragments and free the associated skbs.

This scheme allows us to be efficient in our use of ring entries
while still supporting large packets. Benchmarking using netperf from
an external machine to a guest over a 10Gb/s network shows a 100%
improvement from ~1Gb/s to ~2Gb/s. With a local host->guest benchmark
with GSO disabled on the host side, throughput was seen to increase
from 700Mb/s to 1.7Gb/s.

Based on a patch from Herbert Xu.

0276b4972e virtio_net: hook up the set-tso ethtool op
Seems like an oversight that we have set-tx-csum and set-sg hooked
up, but not set-tso.

Also leads to the strange situation that if you e.g. disable tx-csum,
then tso doesn't get disabled.

0a888fd1f6 virtio_net: Recycle some more rx buffer pages
Each time we re-fill the recv queue with buffers, we allocate
one too many skbs and free it again when adding fails. We should
recycle the pages allocated in this case.

A previous version of this patch made trim_pages() trim trailing
unused pages from skbs with some paged data, but this actually
caused a barely measurable slowdown.

5635c10d97 net: make sure struct dst_entry refcount is aligned on 64 bytes
As found in the past (commit f1dd9c379c
[NET]: Fix tbench regression in 2.6.25-rc1), it is really
important that struct dst_entry refcount is aligned on a cache line.

We cannot use __atribute((aligned)), so manually pad the structure
for 32 and 64 bit arches.

for 32bit : offsetof(truct dst_entry, __refcnt) is 0x80
for 64bit : offsetof(truct dst_entry, __refcnt) is 0xc0

As it is not possible to guess at compile time cache line size,
we use a generic value of 64 bytes, that satisfies many current arches.
(Using 128 bytes alignment on 64bit arches would waste 64 bytes)

Add a BUILD_BUG_ON to catch future updates to "struct dst_entry" dont
break this alignment.

"tbench 8" is 4.4 % faster on a dual quad core (HP BL460c G1), Intel E5450 @3.00GHz
(2350 MB/s instead of 2250 MB/s)

3ab5aee7fe net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls
RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure :
- sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the
  price of call_rcu() at freeing time.
- hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers.

This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established
and timewait sockets.

Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications
using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting
rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case.

__inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to
dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock)

Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU
(bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking)

88ab1932ea udp: Use hlist_nulls in UDP RCU code
This is a straightforward patch, using hlist_nulls infrastructure.

RCUification already done on UDP two weeks ago.

Using hlist_nulls permits us to avoid some memory barriers, both
at lookup time and delete time.

Patch is large because it adds new macros to include/net/sock.h.
These macros will be used by TCP & DCCP in next patch.

bbaffaca48 rcu: Introduce hlist_nulls variant of hlist
hlist uses NULL value to finish a chain.

hlist_nulls variant use the low order bit set to 1 to signal an end-of-list marker.

This allows to store many different end markers, so that some RCU lockless
algos (used in TCP/UDP stack for example) can save some memory barriers in
fast paths.

Two new files are added :

include/linux/list_nulls.h
  - mimics hlist part of include/linux/list.h, derived to hlist_nulls variant

include/linux/rculist_nulls.h
  - mimics hlist part of include/linux/rculist.h, derived to hlist_nulls variant

   Only four helpers are declared for the moment :

     hlist_nulls_del_init_rcu(), hlist_nulls_del_rcu(),
     hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu() and hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu()

prefetches() were removed, since an end of list is not anymore NULL value.
prefetches() could trigger useless (and possibly dangerous) memory transactions.

Example of use (extracted from __udp4_lib_lookup())

	struct sock *sk, *result;
        struct hlist_nulls_node *node;
        unsigned short hnum = ntohs(dport);
        unsigned int hash = udp_hashfn(net, hnum);
        struct udp_hslot *hslot = &udptable->hash[hash];
        int score, badness;

        rcu_read_lock();
begin:
        result = NULL;
        badness = -1;
        sk_nulls_for_each_rcu(sk, node, &hslot->head) {
                score = compute_score(sk, net, saddr, hnum, sport,
                                      daddr, dport, dif);
                if (score > badness) {
                        result = sk;
                        badness = score;
                }
        }
        /*
         * if the nulls value we got at the end of this lookup is
         * not the expected one, we must restart lookup.
         * We probably met an item that was moved to another chain.
         */
        if (get_nulls_value(node) != hash)
                goto begin;

        if (result) {
                if (unlikely(!atomic_inc_not_zero(&result->sk_refcnt)))
                        result = NULL;
                else if (unlikely(compute_score(result, net, saddr, hnum, sport,
                                  daddr, dport, dif) < badness)) {
                        sock_put(result);
                        goto begin;
