Sven Eckelmann f86b998425 Staging: batman-adv: Don't write in not allocated packet_buff
Each net_device in a system will automatically managed as a possible
batman_if and holds different informations like a buffer with a prepared
originator messages. To reduce the memory usage, the packet_buff will
only be allocated when the interface is really added/enabled for
batman-adv.

The function to update the hw address information inside the packet_buff
just assumes that the packet_buff is always initialised and thus the
kernel will just oops when we try to change the hw address of a not
already fully enabled interface.

We must always check if the packet_buff is allocated before we try to
change information inside of it.

Sven Eckelmann 51a00eaf6e Staging: batman-adv: Don't use net_dev after dev_put
dev_put allows a device to be freed when all its references are dropped.
After that we are not allowed to access that information anymore. Access
to the data structure of a net_device must be surrounded a dev_hold
and ended using dev_put.

batman-adv adds a device to its own management structure in
hardif_add_interface and will release it in hardif_remove_interface.
Thus it must hold a reference all the time between those functions to
prevent any access to the already released net_device structure.

Sven Eckelmann 1189f130f8 Staging: batman-adv: Create batman_if only on register event
We try to get all events for all net_devices to be able to add special
sysfs folders for the batman-adv configuration. This also includes such
events like NETDEV_POST_INIT which has no valid kobject according to
v2.6.32-rc3-13-g7ffbe3f. This would create an oops in that situation.

It is enough to create the batman_if only on NETDEV_REGISTER events
because we will also receive those events for devices which already
existed when we registered the notifier call.

Marek Lindner b7a23bce7b Staging: batman-adv: always reply batman icmp packets with primary mac
When receiving an batman icmp echo request or in case of a time-to-live
exceeded batman would reply with the mac address of the outgoing
interface which might be a secondary interface. Because secondary
interfaces are not globally known this might lead to confusion.
Now, replies are sent with the mac address of the primary interface.

Marek Lindner 13334d4875 Staging: batman-adv: fix batman icmp originating from secondary interface
If a batman icmp packet had to be routed over a secondary interface
at the first hop, the mac address of that secondary interface would
be written in the 'orig' field of the icmp packet. A node which is
more than one hop away is not aware of the mac address because
secondary interfaces are not flooded through the whole mesh and
therefore can't send a reply.
This patch always sends the mac address of the primary interface
in the 'orig' field of the icmp packet.

It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become

not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add
this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is
safe).

I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

Tim Chen 9d0f4dcc5c mutex: Improve the scalability of optimistic spinning
There is a scalability issue for current implementation of optimistic
mutex spin in the kernel.  It is found on a 8 node 64 core Nehalem-EX
system (HT mode).

The intention of the optimistic mutex spin is to busy wait and spin on a
mutex if the owner of the mutex is running, in the hope that the mutex
will be released soon and be acquired, without the thread trying to
acquire mutex going to sleep. However, when we have a large number of
threads, contending for the mutex, we could have the mutex grabbed by
other thread, and then another ……, and we will keep spinning, wasting cpu
cycles and adding to the contention.  One possible fix is to quit
spinning and put the current thread on wait-list if mutex lock switch to
a new owner while we spin, indicating heavy contention (see the patch
included).

I did some testing on a 8 socket Nehalem-EX system with a total of 64
cores. Using Ingo's test-mutex program that creates/delete files with 256
threads (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) , I see the following speed up
after putting in the mutex spin fix:

 ./mutex-test V 256 10
                 Ops/sec
 2.6.34          62864
 With fix        197200

Repeating the test with Aim7 fserver workload, again there is a speed up
with the fix:

                 Jobs/min
 2.6.34          91657
 With fix        149325

To look at the impact on the distribution of mutex acquisition time, I
collected the mutex acquisition time on Aim7 fserver workload with some
instrumentation.  The average acquisition time is reduced by 48% and
number of contentions reduced by 32%.

                 #contentions    Time to acquire mutex (cycles)
 2.6.34          72973           44765791
 With fix        49210           23067129

The histogram of mutex acquisition time is listed below.  The acquisition
time is in 2^bin cycles.  We see that without the fix, the acquisition
time is mostly around 2^26 cycles.  With the fix, we the distribution get
spread out a lot more towards the lower cycles, starting from 2^13.
However, there is an increase of the tail distribution with the fix at
2^28 and 2^29 cycles.  It seems a small price to pay for the reduced
average acquisition time and also getting the cpu to do useful work.

 Mutex acquisition time distribution (acq time = 2^bin cycles):
         2.6.34                  With Fix
 bin     #occurrence     %       #occurrence     %

 30      0               0.00%   0               0.00%

I've done similar experiments with 2.6.35 kernel on smaller boxes as
well.  One is on a dual-socket Westmere box (12 cores total, with HT).
Another experiment is on an old dual-socket Core 2 box (4 cores total, no
HT)

On the 12-core Westmere box, I see a 250% increase for Ingo's mutex-test
program with my mutex patch but no significant difference in aim7's
fserver workload.

On the 4-core Core 2 box, I see the difference with the patch for both
mutex-test and aim7 fserver are negligible.

So far, it seems like the patch has not caused regression on smaller
systems.

Peter Zijlstra c6db67cda7 watchdog: Don't throttle the watchdog
Stephane reported that when the machine locks up, the regular ticks,
which are responsible to resetting the throttle count, stop too.

Hence the NMI watchdog can end up being throttled before it reports on
the locked up state, and we end up being sad..

Cure this by having the watchdog overflow reset its own throttle count.
