Merge branch 'lockref' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux

2013-09-28T19:36:19+00:00

Pull s390 lockref enablement from Heiko Carstens:
 "Enabling the new lockless lockref variant on s390 would have been
  trivial until Tony Luck added a cpu_relax() call into the
  CMPXCHG_LOOP(), with commit d472d9d98b46 ("lockref: Relax in cmpxchg
  loop")

  As already mentioned cpu_relax() is very expensive on s390 since it
  yields() the current virtual cpu.  So we are talking of several
  thousand cycles.  Considering this enabling the lockless lockref
  variant would contradict the intention of the new semantics.  And also
  some quick measurements show performance regressions of 50% and more.

  Simply removing the cpu_relax() call again seems also not very
  desireable since Waiman Long reported that for some workloads the call
  improved performance by 5%."

 "Clean-up to fix some warnings for !OF builds and spelling fixes in
  docs:

   - Clean-up openrisc prom.h
   - Fix warnings caused by of_irq.h ifdefs
   - Spelling fix for Synopsys"

mutex: replace CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX with simple ifdef

2013-09-28T10:46:21+00:00

Linus suggested to replace

 #ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX
 #define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax()
 #endif

with just a simple

  #ifndef arch_mutex_cpu_relax
  # define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax()
  #endif

to get rid of CONFIG_HAVE_CPU_RELAX_SIMPLE. So architectures can
simply define arch_mutex_cpu_relax if they want an architecture
specific function instead of having to add a select statement in
their Kconfig in addition.

Drivers: hv: util: Correctly support ws2008R2 and earlier

2013-09-26T21:20:21+00:00

The current code does not correctly negotiate the version numbers for the util
driver when hosted on earlier hosts. The version numbers presented by this
driver were not compatible with the version numbers supported by Windows Server
2008. Fix this problem.

I would like to thank Olaf Hering (ohering@suse.com) for identifying the problem.

Merge tag 'dm-3.12-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

2013-09-25T22:12:46+00:00

Pull device-mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
 "A few fixes for dm-snapshot, a 32 bit fix for dm-stats, a couple error
  handling fixes for dm-multipath.  A fix for the thin provisioning
  target to not expose non-zero discard limits if discards are disabled.

  Lastly, add two DM module parameters which allow users to tune the
  emergency memory reserves that DM mainatins per device -- this helps
  fix a long-standing issue for dm-multipath.  The conservative default
  reserve for request-based dm-multipath devices (256) has proven
  problematic for users with many multipathed SCSI devices but
  relatively little memory.  To responsibly select a smaller value users
  should use the new nr_bios tracepoint info (via commit 75afb352
  "block: Add nr_bios to block_rq_remap tracepoint") to determine the
  peak number of bios their workloads create"

of: clean-up ifdefs in of_irq.h

2013-09-25T02:12:32+00:00

Much of of_irq.h is needlessly ifdef'ed. Clean this up and minimize the
amount ifdef'ed code. This fixes some  build warnings when CONFIG_OF
is not enabled (seen on i386 and x86_64):

include/linux/of_irq.h:82:7: warning: 'struct device_node' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]
include/linux/of_irq.h:82:7: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want [enabled by default]
include/linux/of_irq.h:87:47: warning: 'struct device_node' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]

Compile tested on i386, sparc and arm.
