12 years agovfs: kill write_super and sync_supers
Artem Bityutskiy [Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:11:59 +0000 (18:11 +0300)]
vfs: kill write_super and sync_supers

Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the
'->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone.
Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and
its dirty state.

The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management.
Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up
every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and
even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and
journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And
because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it.
So I am quite happy to make it go away.

Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which
was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old
Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and
'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.

 "This looks scary at first glance, but what it is is:
   - a rework of the sa11x0 DMA engine driver merged during the previous
     cycle, to extract a common set of helper functions for DMA engine
     implementations.
   - conversion of amba-pl08x.c to use these helper functions.
   - addition of OMAP DMA engine driver (using these helper functions),
     and conversion of some of the OMAP DMA users to use DMA engine.

  Nothing in the helper functions is ARM specific, so I hope that other
  implementations can consolidate some of their code by making use of
  these helpers.

  This has been sitting in linux-next most of the merge cycle, and has
  been tested by several OMAP folk.  I've tested it on sa11x0 platforms,

KVM: VMX: Fix ds/es corruption on i386 with preemption

Commit b2da15ac26a0c ("KVM: VMX: Optimize %ds, %es reload") broke i386
in the following scenario:

  vcpu_load
  ...
  vmx_save_host_state
  vmx_vcpu_run
  (ds.rpl, es.rpl cleared by hardware)

  interrupt
    push ds, es  # pushes bad ds, es
    schedule
      vmx_vcpu_put
        vmx_load_host_state
          reload ds, es (with __USER_DS)
    pop ds, es  # of other thread's stack

  # other thread runs
  interrupt
    push ds, es
    schedule  # back in vcpu thread
    pop ds, es  # now with rpl=0
    iret
  ...
  vcpu_put
  resume_userspace
  iret  # clears ds, es due to mismatched rpl

(instead of resume_userspace, we might return with SYSEXIT and then
take an exception; when the exception IRETs we end up with cleared
ds, es)

Fix by avoiding the optimization on i386 and reloading ds, es on the
lightweight exit path.
