Commit ae1b153962, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA). The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:
static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
struct request *rq;
while (1) {
- while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+ if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
- if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
- (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
- return rq;
- rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
- if (rq)
- return rq;
+ return rq;
}
Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:
struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
REQ_FUA);
unsigned skip = 0;
...
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
if (!has_fua)
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
return rq;
}
So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).
Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.
The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.
In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.
I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeff

Attempting to try and turn off disconnected display hw in the
hotput handler lead to more problems than it helped. For
now just register an event and only attempt the do something
interesting with DP. Other connectors are just too problematic:
- Some systems have an HPD pin assigned to LVDS, but it's rarely
if ever connected properly and we don't really care about hpd
events on LVDS anyway since it's always connected.
- The HPD pin is wired up correctly for eDP, but we don't really
have to do anything since the events since it's always connected.
- Some HPD pins fire more than once when you connect/disconnect
- etc.

The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to
the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr. If that's 0, it
tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code
to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'.
The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing
setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.

Commit db64fe0225 ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") introduced code that does
address calculations under the assumption that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE is a
power of two. However, this might not be true if CONFIG_NR_CPUS is not
set to a power of two.
Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption.
However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been
diagnosed correctly); what caught this was the BUG_ON in vb_alloc() that
checks for inconsistent vmap_block indices.
To fix this, ensure that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE always is a power of two.

The snd_usb_caiaq driver currently assumes that output urbs are serviced
in time and doesn't track when and whether they are given back by the
USB core. That usually works fine, but due to temporary limitations of
the XHCI stack, we faced that urbs were submitted more than once with
this approach.
As it's no good practice to fire and forget urbs anyway, this patch
introduces a proper bit mask to track which requests have been submitted
and given back.
That alone however doesn't make the driver work in case the host
controller is broken and doesn't give back urbs at all, and the output
stream will stop once all pre-allocated output urbs are consumed. But
it does prevent crashes of the controller stack in such cases.
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40702 for more details.

In this code, the failure_cleanup label calls the function
plx_pci_del_card, which frees everything in the card->net_dev array. dev
is placed in this array immediately after allocation, so the two subsequent
jumps to failure_cleanup should not also call free_sja1000dev, but the
second one does.
If plx_pci_check_sja1000 fails, then free_sja1000dev is also called on
dev. Because dev is already in the card->net_dev array, this implies that
when plx_pci_del_card is later called, it may get freed again. So that
entry is reset to NULL after the free.
Finally, if there is a problem with one channel, there will be a hole in the
array. card->channels counts the number of channels that have succeeded,
and does not keep track of the index of the largest element in the array
that is valid. So the loop in plx_pci_del_card is changed to go up to
PLX_PCI_MAX_CHAN, which is only 2.

The vmxnet3 driver enables vlan filters if filtering is enabled for
any vlan. In promiscuous mode the filter table is cleared to in
order to disable filtering. However, if a vlan device is subsequently
created that vlan will be added to the filter, re-engaging it. As a
result, not only do we not see all the vlans in promiscuous mode, we
don't even see vlans for which a filter was previously created.
