2006-12-10[PATCH] io-accounting: write-cancel accountingAndrew Morton2-2/+9
Account for the number of byte writes which this process caused to not happen after all.

2006-12-10[PATCH] io-accounting: write accountingAndrew Morton2-2/+8
Accounting writes is fairly simple: whenever a process flips a page from clean to dirty, we accuse it of having caused a write to underlying storage of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes. This may overestimate the amount of writing: the page-dirtying may cause only one buffer_head's worth of writeout. Fixing that is possible, but probably a bit messy and isn't obviously important.

2006-12-10[PATCH] io-accounting: core statisticsAndrew Morton5-0/+97
The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful. It simply counts the number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O, which is wrong. (David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting: For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very useful read_bytes/read_calls average read request size write_bytes/write_calls average write request size read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can be missed I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache contention. I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high IO commands). This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account for three things: reads: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and CIFS. writes: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time. The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write. So... cancelled_writes: account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by truncating pagecache. We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative amounts of write IO, which is silly. So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace. Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But - This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page level (would require a new pointer in struct page). - It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot communicate this info via taskstats. This patch: Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to manipulate them.

2006-12-10[PATCH] pdc202xx_new: fix PLL/timing issuesSergei Shtylyov1-108/+375
Fix the CRC errors in the higher UltraDMA modes with the Promise PDC20268 and newer chips that always occur on non-x86 machines and when there are more than 2 adapters on x86 machines. Fix the overclocking issue for PDC20269 and newer chips that occurs when an UltraDMA/133 capable drive is connected. Here's the summary of changes: - add code to detect the PLL input clock detection and setup it output clock, remove the PowerMac hacks; - replace the macros accessing the indexed regiters with functions, switch to using them where appropriate, gather the PIO/MWDMA/UDMA timings into tables; - rewrite the speedproc() handler to set the drive's transfer mode first, and then override the timing registers set by hardware on UltraDMA/133 chips; - use better criterion for determining higher UltraDMA modes, and add comment concerning the doubtful value of the code enabling IORDY/prefetch; - replace the stupid 'pdcnew_new_' prefixes with mere 'pdcnew_'; - get rid of unneded spaces, parens and type casts, clean up some printk's, add some new lines here and there... This work is loosely based on these former patches by Albert Lee: [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992442032300 [2] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992457729382 [3] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992474205555 [4] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=111019224802939 Some PLL clock detection code was backported from his pata_pdc2027x driver... This code has been successfully tested by me on PDC2026[89] chips. I tried to keep this rework as several patches but it made no sense: [2] was largely a modification of the non-working timing override code, [3] by itself extended the overclocking issue to the case of non-UltraDMA/133 drives, and finally, the cleanup patch based on [1] ended up rejected...

2006-12-10[PATCH] IPMI: misc fixesCorey Minyard2-58/+68
Fix various problems pointed out by Andrew Morton and others: * platform_device_unregister checks for NULL, no need to check here. * Formatting fixes. * Remove big macro and convert to a function. * Use strcmp instead of defining a broken case-insensitive comparison, and make the output parameter info match the case of the input one (change "I/O" to "i/o"). * Return the length instead of 0 from the hotmod parameter handler. * Remove some unused cruft. * The trydefaults parameter only has to do with scanning the "standard" addresses, don't check for that on ACPI.
