2008-05-09module: be more picky about allowing missing module versionsRusty Russell1-2/+7
We allow missing __versions sections, because modprobe --force strips it. It makes less sense to allow sections where there's no version for a specific symbol the module uses, so disallow that.

2008-05-09module: put modversions in vermagicRusty Russell1-1/+7
Don't allow a module built without versions altogether to be inserted into a kernel which expects modversions. modprobe --force will strip vermagic as well as modversions, so it won't be effected, but this will make sure that a non-CONFIG_MODVERSIONS module won't be accidentally inserted into a CONFIG_MODVERSIONS kernel.

2008-05-08Fix cpuset sched_relax_domain_level control filePaul Menage1-12/+40
Due to a merge conflict, the sched_relax_domain_level control file was marked as being handled by cpuset_read/write_u64, but the code to handle it was actually in cpuset_common_file_read/write. Since the value being written/read is in fact a signed integer, it should be treated as such; this patch adds cpuset_read/write_s64 functions, and uses them to handle the sched_relax_domain_level file. With this patch, the sched_relax_domain_level can be read and written, and the correct contents seen/updated.

Looking at the workload i found and fixed what i believe to be the real bug causing the AIM7 regression: it was inefficient wakeup / scheduling / locking behavior of the new generic semaphore code, causing suboptimal performance. The problem comes from the following code. The new semaphore code does this on down(): spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); if (likely(sem->count > 0)) sem->count--; else __down(sem); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags); and this on up(): spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); if (likely(list_empty(&sem->wait_list))) sem->count++; else __up(sem); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags); where __up() does: list_del(&waiter->list); waiter->up = 1; wake_up_process(waiter->task); and where __down() does this in essence: list_add_tail(&waiter.list, &sem->wait_list); waiter.task = task; waiter.up = 0; for (;;) { [...] spin_unlock_irq(&sem->lock); timeout = schedule_timeout(timeout); spin_lock_irq(&sem->lock); if (waiter.up) return 0; } the fastpath looks good and obvious, but note the following property of the contended path: if there's a task on the ->wait_list, the up() of the current owner will "pass over" ownership to that waiting task, in a wake-one manner, via the waiter->up flag and by removing the waiter from the wait list. That is all and fine in principle, but as implemented in kernel/semaphore.c it also creates a nasty, hidden source of contention! The contention comes from the following property of the new semaphore code: the new owner owns the semaphore exclusively, even if it is not running yet. So if the old owner, even if just a few instructions later, does a down() [lock_kernel()] again, it will be blocked and will have to wait on the new owner to eventually be scheduled (possibly on another CPU)! Or if another task gets to lock_kernel() sooner than the "new owner" scheduled, it will be blocked unnecessarily and for a very long time when there are 2000 tasks running. I.e. the implementation of the new semaphores code does wake-one and lock ownership in a very restrictive way - it does not allow opportunistic re-locking of the lock at all and keeps the scheduler from picking task order intelligently. This kind of scheduling, with 2000 AIM7 processes running, creates awful cross-scheduling between those 2000 tasks, causes reduced parallelism, a throttled runqueue length and a lot of idle time. With increasing number of CPUs it causes an exponentially worse behavior in AIM7, as the chance for a newly woken new-owner task to actually run anytime soon is less and less likely. Note that it takes just a tiny bit of contention for the 'new-semaphore catastrophy' to happen: the wakeup latencies get added to whatever small contention there is, and quickly snowball out of control! I believe Yanmin's findings and numbers support this analysis too. The best fix for this problem is to use the same scheduling logic that the kernel/mutex.c code uses: keep the wake-one behavior (that is OK and wanted because we do not want to over-schedule), but also allow opportunistic locking of the lock even if a wakee is already "in flight". The patch below implements this new logic. With this patch applied the AIM7 regression is largely fixed on my quad testbox: # v2.6.25 vanilla: .................. Tasks Jobs/Min JTI Real CPU Jobs/sec/task 2000 56096.4 91 207.5 789.7 0.4675 2000 55894.4 94 208.2 792.7 0.4658 # v2.6.26-rc1-166-gc0a1811 vanilla: ...................................

We are now back to within 1% of the v2.6.25 performance levels and have zero idle time during the test, as expected. Btw., interactivity also improved dramatically with the fix - for example console-switching became almost instantaneous during this workload (which after all is running 2000 tasks at once!), without the patch it was stuck for a minute at times. There's another nice side-effect of this speedup patch, the new generic semaphore code got even smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 1241 0 0 1241 4d9 semaphore.o.before 1207 0 0 1207 4b7 semaphore.o.after (because the waiter.up complication got removed.) Longer-term we should look into using the mutex code for the generic semaphore code as well - but i's not easy due to legacies and it's outside of the scope of v2.6.26 and outside the scope of this patch as well.

2008-05-08netns: Fix arbitrary net_device-s corruptions on net_ns stop.Pavel Emelyanov1-3/+5
When a net namespace is destroyed, some devices (those, not killed on ns stop explicitly) are moved back to init_net. The problem, is that this net_ns change has one point of failure - the __dev_alloc_name() may be called if a name collision occurs (and this is easy to trigger). This allocator performs a likely-to-fail GFP_ATOMIC allocation to find a suitable number. Other possible conditions that may cause error (for device being ns local or not registered) are always false in this case. So, when this call fails, the device is unregistered. But this is *not* the right thing to do, since after this the device may be released (and kfree-ed) improperly. E. g. bridges require more actions (sysfs update, timer disarming, etc.), some other devices want to remove their private areas from lists, etc. I. e. arbitrary use-after-free cases may occur. The proposed fix is the following: since the only reason for the dev_change_net_namespace to fail is the name generation, we may give it a unique fall-back name w/o %d-s in it - the dev<ifindex> one, since ifindexes are still unique. So make this change, raise the failure-case printk loglevel to EMERG and replace the unregister_netdevice call with BUG().

The first requests will elicit error responses from the receiver, causing the SIP helper to flush the RTP expectations even though we might still see a positive response. Note the sequence number of the last INVITE request that contained a media description and only flush the expectations when receiving a negative response for that sequence number.

2008-05-08tcp FRTO: SACK variant is errorneously used with NewRenoIlpo Järvinen1-5/+8
Note: there's actually another bug in FRTO's SACK variant, which is the causing failure in NewReno case because of the error that's fixed here. I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit). There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow. This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO. An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO. In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue. The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow. In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most frequently with some small devices such as network printers that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be retransmitted in order to continue. I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla #10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com> had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure out.

2008-05-07sparc: Fix SA_ONSTACK signal handling.David S. Miller3-8/+51
We need to be more liberal about the alignment of the buffer given to us by sigaltstack(). The user should not need to be mindful of all of the alignment constraints we have for the stack frame. This mirrors how we handle this situation in clone() as well. Also, we align the stack even in non-SA_ONSTACK cases so that signals due to bad stack alignment can be delivered properly. This makes such errors easier to debug and recover from. Finally, add the sanity check x86 has to make sure we won't overflow the signal stack. This fixes glibc testcases nptl/tst-cancel20.c and nptl/tst-cancelx20.c Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-07sparc: Fix fork/clone/vfork system call restart.David S. Miller2-7/+31
We clobber %i1 as well as %i0 for these system calls, because they give two return values. Therefore, on error, we have to restore %i1 properly or else the restart explodes since it uses the wrong arguments. This fixes glibc's nptl/tst-eintr1.c testcase. Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-07IB/ipath: Fix SDMA error recovery in absence of link status changeJohn Gregor2-10/+29
What's fixed: in ipath_cancel_sends() We need to unconditionally set ABORTING. So, swap the tests so the set_bit() isn't shadowed by the &&. If we've disarmed the piobufs, then we need to unconditionally set DISARMED. So, move it out from the overly protective if at the bottom. in sdma_abort_task() Abort_task was written knowing that the SDMA engine would always be reset (and restarted) on error. A recent change broke that fundamental assumption by taking the restart portion and making it conditional on a link status change. But, SDMA can go boom without a link status change in some conditions. Signed-off-by: John Gregor <john.gregor@qlogic.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2008-05-07IB/ipath: Need to always request and handle PIO avail interruptsDave Olson8-202/+224
Now that we always use PIO for vl15 on 7220, we could get stuck forever if we happened to run out of PIO buffers from the verbs code, because the setup code wouldn't run; the interrupt was also ignored if SDMA was supported. We also have to reduce the pio update threshold if we have fewer kernel buffers than the existing threshold. Clean up the initialization a bit to get ordering safer and more sensible, and use the existing ipath_chg_kernavail call to do init, rather than doing it separately. Drop unnecessary clearing of pio buffer on pio parity error. Drop incorrect updating of pioavailshadow when exitting freeze mode (software state may not match chip state if buffer has been allocated and not yet written). If we couldn't get a kernel buffer for a while, make sure we are in sync with hardware, mainly to handle the exitting freeze case.

2008-05-07IB/ipath: Fix count of packets received by kernelMichael Albaugh1-1/+1
The loop in ipath_kreceive() that processes packets increments the loop-index 'i' once too often, because the exit condition does not depend on it, and is checked after the increment. By adding a check for !last to the iterator in the for loop, we correct that in a way that is not so likely to be re-broken by changes in the loop body.
