2009-09-11block: improve queue_should_plug() by looking at IO depthsJens Axboe1-0/+2
Instead of just checking whether this device uses block layer tagging, we can improve the detection by looking at the maximum queue depth it has reached. If that crosses 4, then deem it a queuing device. This is important on high IOPS devices, since plugging hurts the performance there (it can be as much as 10-15% of the sys time).

2009-09-11block: implement mixed merge of different failfast requestsTejun Heo1-5/+18
Failfast has characteristics from other attributes. When issuing, executing and successuflly completing requests, failfast doesn't make any difference. It only affects how a request is handled on failure. Allowing requests with different failfast settings to be merged cause normal IOs to fail prematurely while not allowing has performance penalties as failfast is used for read aheads which are likely to be located near in-flight or to-be-issued normal IOs. This patch introduces the concept of 'mixed merge'. A request is a mixed merge if it is merge of segments which require different handling on failure. Currently the only mixable attributes are failfast ones (or lack thereof). When a bio with different failfast settings is added to an existing request or requests of different failfast settings are merged, the merged request is marked mixed. Each bio carries failfast settings and the request always tracks failfast state of the first bio. When the request fails, blk_rq_err_bytes() can be used to determine how many bytes can be safely failed without crossing into an area which requires further retrials. This allows request merging regardless of failfast settings while keeping the failure handling correct. This patch only implements mixed merge but doesn't enable it. The next one will update SCSI to make use of mixed merge. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Niel Lambrechts <niel.lambrechts@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-11block: use the same failfast bits for bio and requestTejun Heo2-20/+27
bio and request use the same set of failfast bits. This patch makes the following changes to simplify things. * enumify BIO_RW* bits and reorder bits such that BIOS_RW_FAILFAST_* bits coincide with __REQ_FAILFAST_* bits. * The above pushes BIO_RW_AHEAD out of sync with __REQ_FAILFAST_DEV but the matching is useless anyway. init_request_from_bio() is responsible for setting FAILFAST bits on FS requests and non-FS requests never use BIO_RW_AHEAD. Drop the code and comment from blk_rq_bio_prep(). * Define REQ_FAILFAST_MASK which is OR of all FAILFAST bits and simplify FAILFAST flags handling in init_request_from_bio().

2009-09-11writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing dataJens Axboe3-10/+55
This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in vmstat: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 1 0 608848 2652 375372 0 0 0 71024 604 24 1 10 48 42 0 1 0 549644 2712 433736 0 0 0 60692 505 27 1 8 48 44 1 0 0 476928 2784 505192 0 0 4 29540 553 24 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 457972 2808 524008 0 0 0 54876 331 16 0 4 38 58 0 1 0 366128 2928 614284 0 0 4 92168 710 58 0 13 53 34 0 1 0 295092 3000 684140 0 0 0 62924 572 23 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 236592 3064 741704 0 0 4 58256 523 17 0 8 48 44 0 1 0 165608 3132 811464 0 0 0 57460 560 21 0 8 54 38 0 1 0 102952 3200 873164 0 0 4 74748 540 29 1 10 48 41 0 1 0 48604 3252 926472 0 0 0 53248 469 29 0 7 47 45 where vanilla tends to fluctuate a lot in the creation phase: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 1 1 0 678716 5792 303380 0 0 0 74064 565 50 1 11 52 36 1 0 0 662488 5864 319396 0 0 4 352 302 329 0 2 47 51 0 1 0 599312 5924 381468 0 0 0 78164 516 55 0 9 51 40 0 1 0 519952 6008 459516 0 0 4 78156 622 56 1 11 52 37 1 1 0 436640 6092 541632 0 0 0 82244 622 54 0 11 48 41 0 1 0 436640 6092 541660 0 0 0 8 152 39 0 0 51 49 0 1 0 332224 6200 644252 0 0 4 102800 728 46 1 13 49 36 1 0 0 274492 6260 701056 0 0 4 12328 459 49 0 7 50 43 0 1 0 211220 6324 763356 0 0 0 106940 515 37 1 10 51 39 1 0 0 160412 6376 813468 0 0 0 8224 415 43 0 6 49 45 1 1 0 85980 6452 886556 0 0 4 113516 575 39 1 11 54 34 0 2 0 85968 6452 886620 0 0 0 1640 158 211 0 0 46 54 A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so.

This patch enables DCA support on multiple-IOH/multiple-IIO architectures. It modifies dca module by replacing single dca_providers list with dca_domains list, each domain containing separate list of providers. This approach lets dca driver manage multiple domains, i.e. sets of providers and requesters mapped back to the same PCI root complex device. The driver takes care to register each requester to a provider from the same domain.

2009-09-10KVM: x86: Disallow hypercalls for guest callers in rings > 0Jan Kiszka1-0/+1
So far unprivileged guest callers running in ring 3 can issue, e.g., MMU hypercalls. Normally, such callers cannot provide any hand-crafted MMU command structure as it has to be passed by its physical address, but they can still crash the guest kernel by passing random addresses. To close the hole, this patch considers hypercalls valid only if issued from guest ring 0. This may still be relaxed on a per-hypercall base in the future once required.

2009-09-10KVM: add ioeventfd supportGregory Haskins2-2/+32
ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd signal when written to by a guest. Host userspace can register any arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd to a specific end-point of interest for handling. Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller. Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM "heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu. However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the system, as well as latency to the signalling path. Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components. To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling from either an eventfd, or an ioctl(). We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via ioeventfd. You can download this test harness here: ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2 The measured results are as follows: qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO, and -350ns for HC, we get: qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data. Here is a graph for your convenience: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace hop. -------------------- Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

2009-09-10KVM: PIT support for HPET legacy modeBeth Kon1-0/+6
When kvm is in hpet_legacy_mode, the hpet is providing the timer interrupt and the pit should not be. So in legacy mode, the pit timer is destroyed, but the *state* of the pit is maintained. So if kvm or the guest tries to modify the state of the pit, this modification is accepted, *except* that the timer isn't actually started. When we exit hpet_legacy_mode, the current state of the pit (which is up to date since we've been accepting modifications) is used to restart the pit timer. The saved_mode code in kvm_pit_load_count temporarily changes mode to 0xff in order to destroy the timer, but then restores the actual value, again maintaining "current" state of the pit for possible later reenablement.

KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86). Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices, pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via the KVM infrastructure. This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism: Any legal signal on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available interrupt window.

2009-09-10LSM/SELinux: inode_{get,set,notify}secctx hooks to access LSM security context information.David P. Quigley1-0/+55
This patch introduces three new hooks. The inode_getsecctx hook is used to get all relevant information from an LSM about an inode. The inode_setsecctx is used to set both the in-core and on-disk state for the inode based on a context derived from inode_getsecctx.The final hook inode_notifysecctx will notify the LSM of a change for the in-core state of the inode in question. These hooks are for use in the labeled NFS code and addresses concerns of how to set security on an inode in a multi-xattr LSM. For historical reasons Stephen Smalley's explanation of the reason for these hooks is pasted below. Quote Stephen Smalley inode_setsecctx: Change the security context of an inode. Updates the in core security context managed by the security module and invokes the fs code as needed (via __vfs_setxattr_noperm) to update any backing xattrs that represent the context. Example usage: NFS server invokes this hook to change the security context in its incore inode and on the backing file system to a value provided by the client on a SETATTR operation. inode_notifysecctx: Notify the security module of what the security context of an inode should be. Initializes the incore security context managed by the security module for this inode. Example usage: NFS client invokes this hook to initialize the security context in its incore inode to the value provided by the server for the file when the server returned the file's attributes to the client.

2009-09-10VFS: Factor out part of vfs_setxattr so it can be called from the SELinux hook for inode_setsecctx.David P. Quigley1-0/+1
This factors out the part of the vfs_setxattr function that performs the setting of the xattr and its notification. This is needed so the SELinux implementation of inode_setsecctx can handle the setting of the xattr while maintaining the proper separation of layers. Signed-off-by: David P.

2009-09-09PCI: pcie: Ensure hotplug ports have a minimum number of resourcesEric W. Biederman1-0/+4
In general a BIOS may goof or we may hotplug in a hotplug controller. In either case the kernel needs to reserve resources for plugging in more devices in the future instead of creating a minimal resource assignment. We already do this for cardbus bridges I am just adding a variant for pcie bridges. v2: Make testing for pcie hotplug bridges based on a flag. So far we only set the flag for pcie but a header_quirk could easily be added for the non-standard pci hotplug bridges. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
