2015-04-20ceph: hold on to exclusive caps on complete directoriesYan, Zheng
If a directory is complete, we want to keep the exclusive cap. So that MDS does not end up revoking the shared cap on every create/unlink operation. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>
2015-04-20libceph: simplify our debugfs attr macroIlya Dryomov

2015-04-20ceph: show non-default options onlyIlya Dryomov
Don't pollute /proc/mounts with default options (presently these are dcache, nofsc and acl). Leave the acl/noacl however - it's a bit of a special case due to CONFIG_CEPH_FS_POSIX_ACL. Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>

2015-04-20libceph, ceph: split ceph_show_options()Ilya Dryomov
Split ceph_show_options() into two pieces and move the piece responsible for printing client (libceph) options into net/ceph. This way people adding a libceph option wouldn't have to remember to update code in fs/ceph. Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>
2015-04-20rbd: mark block queue as non-rotationalIlya Dryomov
Set QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT. Following commit b277da0a8a59 ("block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices") we should also clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, but it's off by default for blk-mq drivers, so just note it in the comment. Also remove physical block size assignment - no sense in repeating defaults that are not going to change. Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>
2015-04-20libceph: don't overwrite specific con error msgsIlya Dryomov
- specific con->error_msg messages (e.g. "protocol version mismatch") end up getting overwritten by a catch-all "socket error on read / write", introduced in commit 3a140a0d5c4b ("libceph: report socket read/write error message") - "bad message sequence # for incoming message" loses to "bad crc" due to the fact that -EBADMSG is used for both Fix it, and tidy up con->error_msg assignments and pr_errs while at it.

remove_session_caps_cb() does not truncate dirty data in page cache, but zeros i_wrbuffer_ref/i_wrbuffer_ref_head. This will result negtive i_wrbuffer_ref/i_wrbuffer_ref_head Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>
2015-04-20ceph: don't mark dirty caps when there is no auth capYan, Zheng
No i_auth_cap means reconnecting to MDS was denied. So don't add new dirty caps. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>
2015-04-20ceph: keep i_snap_realm while there are writersYan, Zheng
when reconnecting to MDS is denied, we remove session caps forcibly. But it's possible there are ongoing write, the write code needs to reference i_snap_realm. So if there are ongoing write, we keep i_snap_realm. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>

2015-04-19hexdump: avoid warning in test functionLinus Torvalds
The test_data_1_le[] array is a const array of const char *. To avoid dropping any const information, we need to use "const char * const *", not just "const char **". I'm not sure why the different test arrays end up having different const'ness, but let's make the pointer we use to traverse them as const as possible, since we modify neither the array of pointers _or_ the pointers we find in the array.

2015-04-19smp: Fix error case handling in smp_call_function_*()Linus Torvalds
Commit 8053871d0f7f ("smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async() locking") fixed the locking for the asynchronous smp-call case, but in the process of moving the lock handling around, one of the error cases ended up not unlocking the call data at all. This went unnoticed on x86, because this is a "caller is buggy" case, where the caller is trying to call a non-existent CPU. But apparently ARM does that (at least under qemu-arm). Bindly doing cross-cpu calls to random CPU's that aren't even online seems a bit fishy, but the error handling was clearly not correct. Simply add the missing "csd_unlock()" to the error path.

2015-04-18Merge branch 'iommu-generic-allocator'David S. Miller
Sowmini Varadhan says: ==================== Generic IOMMU pooled allocator Investigation of network performance on Sparc shows a high degree of locking contention in the IOMMU allocator, and it was noticed that the PowerPC code has a better locking model. This patch series tries to extract the generic parts of the PowerPC code so that it can be shared across multiple PCI devices and architectures. v10: resend patchv9 without RFC tag, and a new mail Message-Id, (previous non-RFC attempt did not show up on the patchwork queue?) Full revision history below: v2 changes: - incorporate David Miller editorial comments: sparc specific fields moved from iommu-common into sparc's iommu_64.h - make the npools value an input parameter, for the case when the iommu map size is not very large - cookie_to_index mapping, and optimizations for span-boundary check, for use case such as LDC. v3: eliminate iommu_sparc, rearrange the ->demap indirection to be invoked under the pool lock. v4: David Miller review changes: - s/IOMMU_ERROR_CODE/DMA_ERROR_CODE - page_table_map_base and page_table_shift are unsigned long, not u32. v5: removed ->cookie_to_index and ->demap indirection from the iommu_tbl_ops The caller needs to call these functions as needed, before invoking the generic arena allocator functions. Added the "skip_span_boundary" argument to iommu_tbl_pool_init() for those callers like LDC which do no care about span boundary checks. v6: removed iommu_tbl_ops, and instead pass the ->flush_all as an indirection to iommu_tbl_pool_init(); only invoke ->flush_all when there is no large_pool, based on the assumption that large-pool usage is infrequently encountered v7: moved pool_hash initialization to lib/iommu-common.c and cleaned up code duplication from sun4v/sun4u/ldc. v8: Addresses BenH comments with one exception: I've left the IOMMU_POOL_HASH as is, so that powerpc can tailor it to their convenience. Discard trylock for simple spin_lock to acquire pool v9: Addresses latest BenH comments: need_flush checks, add support for dma mask and align_order. v10: resend without RFC tag, and new mail Message-Id. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-04-18sparc: Make LDC use common iommu poll management functionsSowmini Varadhan
Note that this conversion is only being done to consolidate the code and ensure that the common code provides the sufficient abstraction. It is not expected to result in any noticeable performance improvement, as there is typically one ldc_iommu per vnet_port, and each one has 8k entries, with a typical request for 1-4 pages.

In iperf experiments running linux as the Tx side (TCP client) with 10 threads results in a severe performance drop when TSO is disabled, indicating a weakness in the software that can be avoided by using the scalable IOMMU arena DMA allocation. Baseline numbers before this patch: with default settings (TSO enabled) : 9-9.5 Gbps Disable TSO using ethtool- drops badly: 2-3 Gbps. After this patch, iperf client with 10 threads, can give a throughput of at least 8.5 Gbps, even when TSO is disabled.

2015-04-18Break up monolithic iommu table/lock into finer graularity pools and lockSowmini Varadhan
Investigation of multithreaded iperf experiments on an ethernet interface show the iommu->lock as the hottest lock identified by lockstat, with something of the order of 21M contentions out of 27M acquisitions, and an average wait time of 26 us for the lock. This is not efficient. A more scalable design is to follow the ppc model, where the iommu_map_table has multiple pools, each stretching over a segment of the map, and with a separate lock for each pool. This model allows for better parallelization of the iommu map search. This patch adds the iommu range alloc/free function infrastructure.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull PMEM driver from Ingo Molnar: "This is the initial support for the pmem block device driver: persistent non-volatile memory space mapped into the system's physical memory space as large physical memory regions. The driver is based on Intel code, written by Ross Zwisler, with fixes by Boaz Harrosh, integrated with x86 e820 memory resource management and tidied up by Christoph Hellwig. Note that there were two other separate pmem driver submissions to lkml: but apparently all parties (Ross Zwisler, Boaz Harrosh) are reasonably happy with this initial version. This version enables minimal support that enables persistent memory devices out in the wild to work as block devices, identified through a magic (non-standard) e820 flag and auto-discovered if CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY=y, or added explicitly through manipulating the memory maps via the "memmap=..." boot option with the new, special '!' modifier character. Limitations: this is a regular block device, and since the pmem areas are not struct page backed, they are invisible to the rest of the system (other than the block IO device), so direct IO to/from pmem areas, direct mmap() or XIP is not possible yet. The page cache will also shadow and double buffer pmem contents, etc. Initial support is for x86" * 'x86-pmem-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: drivers/block/pmem: Fix 32-bit build warning in pmem_alloc() drivers/block/pmem: Add a driver for persistent memory x86/mm: Add support for the non-standard protected e820 type
