2013-10-30kvm: Add VFIO deviceAlex Williamson1-0/+1
So far we've succeeded at making KVM and VFIO mostly unaware of each other, but areas are cropping up where a connection beyond eventfds and irqfds needs to be made. This patch introduces a KVM-VFIO device that is meant to be a gateway for such interaction. The user creates the device and can add and remove VFIO groups to it via file descriptors. When a group is added, KVM verifies the group is valid and gets a reference to it via the VFIO external user interface.

2013-10-15KVM: Drop FOLL_GET in GUP when doing async page faultchai wen1-1/+1
Page pinning is not mandatory in kvm async page fault processing since after async page fault event is delivered to a guest it accesses page once again and does its own GUP. Drop the FOLL_GET flag in GUP in async_pf code, and do some simplifying in check/clear processing.

This reverts commit 9d8eab7af79cb4ce2de5de39f82c455b1f796963. There is still no consensus on the bindings for the reserved memory and various drawbacks of the proposed solution has been shown, so the best now is to revert it completely and start again from scratch later.

So in order to not break userspace we just reverted things back to the old known broken status so maybe we can try and design out way out.

2013-10-11Revert "i915: Update VGA arbiter support for newer devices"Dave Airlie1-7/+0
This reverts commit 81b5c7bc8de3e6f63419139c2fc91bf81dea8a7d. Adding drm/i915 into the vga arbiter chain means that X (in a piece of well-meant paranoia) will do a get/put on the vga decoding around _every_ accel call down into the ddx. Which results in some nice performance disasters [1]. This really breaks userspace, by disabling DRI for everyone, and stops OpenGL from working, this isn't limited to just the i915 but both the integrated and discrete GPUs on multi-gpu systems, in other words this causes untold worlds of pain, Ville tried to come up with a Great Hack to fiddle the required VGA I/O ops behind everyone's back using stop_machine, but that didn't really work out [2]. Given that we're fairly late in the -rc stage for such games let's just revert this all. One thing we might want to keep is to delay the disabling of the vga decoding until the fbdev emulation and the fbcon screen is set up. If we kill vga mem decoding beforehand fbcon can end up with a white square in the top-left corner it tried to save from the vga memory for a seamless transition. And we have bug reports on older platforms which seem to match these symptoms. But again that's something to play around with in -next.

Allow architectures which have a disabled get_cycles() function to provide a random_get_entropy() function which provides a fine-grained, rapidly changing counter that can be used by the /dev/random driver. For example, an architecture might have a rapidly changing register used to control random TLB cache eviction, or DRAM refresh that doesn't meet the requirements of get_cycles(), but which is good enough for the needs of the random driver.

2013-10-04perf: Fix perf_pmu_migrate_contextPeter Zijlstra1-1/+23
While auditing the list_entry usage due to a trinity bug I found that perf_pmu_migrate_context violates the rules for perf_event::event_entry. The problem is that perf_event::event_entry is a RCU list element, and hence we must wait for a full RCU grace period before re-using the element after deletion. Therefore the usage in perf_pmu_migrate_context() which re-uses the entry immediately is broken. For now introduce another list_head into perf_event for this specific usage. This doesn't actually fix the trinity report because that never goes through this code.

2013-10-01mm: avoid reinserting isolated balloon pages into LRU listsRafael Aquini1-0/+25
Isolated balloon pages can wrongly end up in LRU lists when migrate_pages() finishes its round without draining all the isolated page list. The same issue can happen when reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() tries to reclaim pages from an isolated page list, before migration, in the CMA path. Such balloon page leak opens a race window against LRU lists shrinkers that leads us to the following kernel panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 IP: [<ffffffff810c2625>] shrink_page_list+0x24e/0x897 PGD 3cda2067 PUD 3d713067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 0 PID: 340 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 3.12.0-rc1-22626-g4367597 #87 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 RIP: shrink_page_list+0x24e/0x897 RSP: 0000:ffff88003da499b8 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88003e82bd60 RCX: 00000000000657d5 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 000000000000031f RDI: ffff88003e82bd40 RBP: ffff88003da49ab0 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000081121a45 R10: ffffffff81121a45 R11: ffff88003c4a9a28 R12: ffff88003e82bd40 R13: ffff88003da0e800 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: ffff88003da49d58 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88003fc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000067d9000 CR3: 000000003ace5000 CR4: 00000000000407b0 Call Trace: shrink_inactive_list+0x240/0x3de shrink_lruvec+0x3e0/0x566 __shrink_zone+0x94/0x178 shrink_zone+0x3a/0x82 balance_pgdat+0x32a/0x4c2 kswapd+0x2f0/0x372 kthread+0xa2/0xaa ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 Code: 80 7d 8f 01 48 83 95 68 ff ff ff 00 4c 89 e7 e8 5a 7b 00 00 48 85 c0 49 89 c5 75 08 80 7d 8f 00 74 3e eb 31 48 8b 80 18 01 00 00 <48> 8b 74 0d 48 8b 78 30 be 02 00 00 00 ff d2 eb RIP [<ffffffff810c2625>] shrink_page_list+0x24e/0x897 RSP <ffff88003da499b8> CR2: 0000000000000028 ---[ end trace 703d2451af6ffbfd ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception This patch fixes the issue, by assuring the proper tests are made at putback_movable_pages() & reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() to avoid isolated balloon pages being wrongly reinserted in LRU lists.

This patch removes the bcma_core_pci_power_save() call from the bcma_core_pci_{up,down}() functions as it tries to schedule thus requiring to call them from non-atomic context.

2013-09-25watchdog: update watchdog_thresh properlyMichal Hocko1-0/+6
watchdog_tresh controls how often nmi perf event counter checks per-cpu hrtimer_interrupts counter and blows up if the counter hasn't changed since the last check. The counter is updated by per-cpu watchdog_hrtimer hrtimer which is scheduled with 2/5 watchdog_thresh period which guarantees that hrtimer is scheduled 2 times per the main period. Both hrtimer and perf event are started together when the watchdog is enabled. So far so good. But... But what happens when watchdog_thresh is updated from sysctl handler? proc_dowatchdog will set a new sampling period and hrtimer callback (watchdog_timer_fn) will use the new value in the next round. The problem, however, is that nobody tells the perf event that the sampling period has changed so it is ticking with the period configured when it has been set up. This might result in an ear ripping dissonance between perf and hrtimer parts if the watchdog_thresh is increased. And even worse it might lead to KABOOM if the watchdog is configured to panic on such a spurious lockup. This patch fixes the issue by updating both nmi perf even counter and hrtimers if the threshold value has changed. The nmi one is disabled and then reinitialized from scratch. This has an unpleasant side effect that the allocation of the new event might fail theoretically so the hard lockup detector would be disabled for such cpus. On the other hand such a memory allocation failure is very unlikely because the original event is deallocated right before. It would be much nicer if we just changed perf event period but there doesn't seem to be any API to do that right now. It is also unfortunate that perf_event_alloc uses GFP_KERNEL allocation unconditionally so we cannot use on_each_cpu() and do the same thing from the per-cpu context. The update from the current CPU should be safe because perf_event_disable removes the event atomically before it clears the per-cpu watchdog_ev so it cannot change anything under running handler feet. The hrtimer is simply restarted (thanks to Don Zickus who has pointed this out) if it is queued because we cannot rely it will fire&adopt to the new sampling period before a new nmi event triggers (when the treshold is decreased).

2013-09-20dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it failsMike Snitzer1-1/+2
Workaround the SCSI layer's problematic WRITE SAME heuristics by disabling WRITE SAME in the DM multipath device's queue_limits if an underlying device disabled it. The WRITE SAME heuristics, with both the original commit 5db44863b6eb ("[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME") and the updated commit 66c28f971 ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics"), default to enabling WRITE SAME(10) even without successfully determining it is supported. After the first failed WRITE SAME the SCSI layer will disable WRITE SAME for the device (by setting sdkp->device->no_write_same which results in 'max_write_same_sectors' in device's queue_limits to be set to 0). When a device is stacked ontop of such a SCSI device any changes to that SCSI device's queue_limits do not automatically propagate up the stack. As such, a DM multipath device will not have its WRITE SAME support disabled. This causes the block layer to continue to issue WRITE SAME requests to the mpath device which causes paths to fail and (if mpath IO isn't configured to queue when no paths are available) it will result in actual IO errors to the upper layers. This fix doesn't help configurations that have additional devices stacked ontop of the mpath device (e.g. LVM created linear DM devices ontop). A proper fix that restacks all the queue_limits from the bottom of the device stack up will need to be explored if SCSI will continue to use this model of optimistically allowing op codes and then disabling them after they fail for the first time. Before this patch: EXT4-fs (dm-6): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) device-mapper: multipath: XXX snitm debugging: got -EREMOTEIO (-121) device-mapper: multipath: XXX snitm debugging: failing WRITE SAME IO with error=-121 end_request: critical target error, dev dm-6, sector 528 dm-6: WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing. device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:112. end_request: I/O error, dev dm-6, sector 4616 dm-6: WRITE SAME failed.
