mtip32xx: Remove dfs_parent after pci unregister

2014-07-07T01:59:09+00:00

commit af5ded8ccf21627f9614afc03b356712666ed225 upstream.

In module exit, dfs_parent and it's subtree were removed before
unregistering with pci. When debugfs entry for each device is attempted
to remove in pci_remove() context, they don't exist, as dfs_parent and
its children were already ripped apart.

Modified to first unregister with pci and then remove dfs_parent.

mtip32xx: Fix ERO and NoSnoop values in PCIe upstream on AMD systems

2014-07-07T01:59:09+00:00

commit d1e714db8129a1d3670e449b87719c78e2c76f9f upstream.

A hardware quirk in P320h/P420m interfere with PCIe transactions on some
AMD chipsets, making P320h/P420m unusable. This workaround is to disable
ERO and NoSnoop bits in the parent and root complex for normal
functioning of these devices

NOTE: This workaround is specific to AMD chipset with a PCIe upstream
device with device id 0x5aXX

zram: correct offset usage in zram_bio_discard

2014-07-01T03:13:55+00:00

commit 38515c73398a4c58059ecf1087e844561b58ee0f upstream.

We want to skip the physical block(PAGE_SIZE) which is partially covered
by the discard bio, so we check the remaining size and subtract it if
there is a need to goto the next physical block.

The current offset usage in zram_bio_discard is incorrect, it will cause
its upper filesystem breakdown.  Consider the following scenario:

On some architecture or config, PAGE_SIZE is 64K for example, filesystem
is set up on zram disk without PAGE_SIZE aligned, a discard bio leads to a
offset = 4K and size=72K, normally, it should not really discard any
physical block as it partially cover two physical blocks.  However, with
the current offset usage, it will discard the second physical block and
free its memory, which will cause filesystem breakdown.

This patch corrects the offset usage in zram_bio_discard.

block: virtio_blk: don't hold spin lock during world switch

2014-07-01T03:13:52+00:00

commit e8edca6f7f92234202d6dd163c118ef495244d7c upstream.

Firstly, it isn't necessary to hold lock of vblk->vq_lock
when notifying hypervisor about queued I/O.

Secondly, virtqueue_notify() will cause world switch and
it may take long time on some hypervisors(such as, qemu-arm),
so it isn't good to hold the lock and block other vCPUs.

On arm64 quad core VM(qemu-kvm), the patch can increase I/O
performance a lot with VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX enabled:
	- without the patch: 14K IOPS
	- with the patch: 34K IOPS

fio script:
	[global]
	direct=1
	bsrange=4k-4k
	timeout=10
	numjobs=4
	ioengine=libaio
	iodepth=64

	filename=/dev/vdc

virtio_blk: fix race between start and stop queue

2014-05-27T14:41:10+00:00

When there isn't enough vring descriptor for adding to vq,
blk-mq will be put as stopped state until some of pending
descriptors are completed & freed.

Unfortunately, the vq's interrupt may come just before
blk-mq's BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED flag is set, so the blk-mq will
still be kept as stopped even though lots of descriptors
are completed and freed in the interrupt handler. The worst
case is that all pending descriptors are freed in the
interrupt handler, and the queue is kept as stopped forever.

This patch fixes the problem by starting/stopping blk-mq
with holding vq_lock.

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
  window.

  Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
  work.  There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
  merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
  boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
  splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
  the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
  (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
  mainline and with some I want more testing.

  This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
  usual beating.  BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
  giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
  memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
  positive, might be a real regression..."
