[PATCH] knfsd: add svc_set_num_threads
Currently knfsd keeps its own list of all nfsd threads in nfssvc.c; add a new
way of managing the list of all threads in a svc_serv. Add
svc_create_pooled() to allow creation of a svc_serv whose threads are managed
by the sunrpc code. Add svc_set_num_threads() to manage the number of threads
in a service, either per-pool or globally across the service.

[PATCH] knfsd: split svc_serv into pools
Split out the list of idle threads and pending sockets from svc_serv into a
new svc_pool structure, and allocate a fixed number (in this patch, 1) of
pools per svc_serv. The new structure contains a lock which takes over
several of the duties of svc_serv->sv_lock, which is now relegated to
protecting only sv_tempsocks, sv_permsocks, and sv_tmpcnt in svc_serv.
The point is to move the hottest fields out of svc_serv and into svc_pool,
allowing a following patch to arrange for a svc_pool per NUMA node or per CPU.
This is a major step towards making the NFS server NUMA-friendly.

[PATCH] knfsd: move tempsock aging to a timer
Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more
Numa-aware. They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some
data-structures that can be node-local.
knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new
request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received
the interrupt.
The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in
the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is
probably fine for most sites.
Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of
NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients. Number of NUMA nodes == N/2
N Throughput, MiB/s CPU usage, % (max=N*100)

This patch:
Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to
a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes. This reduces
the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length
of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock.

If lockd_up fails - what should we expect? Do we have to later call

Well the nfs client thinks "no", the nfs server thinks "yes". lockd thinks
"yes".
The only answer that really makes sense is "no" !!
So:
Make lockd_up only increment nlmsvc_users on success.
Make nfsd handle errors from lockd_up properly.
Make sure lockd_up(0) never fails when lockd is running
so that the 'reclaimer' call to lockd_up doesn't need to

We have an array 'nfsd_version' which lists the available versions of nfsd,
and 'nfsd_versions' (poor choice there :-() which lists the currently active

Then we have a bitmap - nfsd_versbits which says which versions are wanted.
The bits in this bitset cause content to be copied from nfsd_version to
nfsd_versions when nfsd starts.
This patch removes nfsd_versbits and moves information directly from
nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when requests for version changes arrive.
Note that this doesn't make it possible to change versions while the server is
running. This is because serv->sv_xdrsize is calculated when a service is
created, and used when threads are created, and xdrsize depends on the active
versions.

[PATCH] knfsd: be more selective in which sockets lockd listens on
Currently lockd listens on UDP always, and TCP if CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is set.
However as lockd performs services of the client as well, this is a problem.
If CONFIG_NfSD_TCP is not set, and a tcp mount is used, the server will not be
able to call back to lockd.
So:
- add an option to lockd_up saying which protocol is needed
- Always open sockets for which an explicit port was given, otherwise
only open a socket of the type required
- Change nfsd to do one lockd_up per socket rather than one per thread.
This
- removes the dependancy on CONFIG_NFSD_TCP
- means that lockd may open sockets other than at startup
- means that lockd will *not* listen on UDP if the only
mounts are TCP mount (and nfsd hasn't started).
The latter is the only one that concerns me at all - I don't know if this
might be a problem with some servers.

[PATCH] usb: fixup usb so it uses struct pid
The problem with remembering a user space process by its pid is that it is
possible that the process will exit, pid wrap around will occur.
Converting to a struct pid avoid that problem, and paves the way for
implementing a pid namespace.
Also since usb is the only user of kill_proc_info_as_uid rename
kill_proc_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_uid and have the new version take
a struct pid.

[PATCH] vt: Make vt_pid a struct pid (making it pid wrap around safe).
I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid
is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console
semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of
which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful
because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily
dropped.
Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs.
Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of
introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to
signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the
struct pid * pointer instead.
Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except
for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should
kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken
anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong
signal.

[PATCH] pid: implement access helpers for a tacks various process groups
In the last round of cleaning up the pid hash table a more general struct pid
was introduced, that can be referenced counted.
With the more general struct pid most if not all places where we store a pid_t
we can now store a struct pid * and remove the need for a hash table lookup,
and avoid any possible problems with pid roll over.
Looking forward to the pid namespaces struct pid * gives us an absolute form a
pid so we can compare and use them without caring which pid namespace we are
in.
This patchset introduces the infrastructure needed to use struct pid instead
of pid_t, and then it goes on to convert two different kernel users that
currently store a pid_t value.
There are a lot more places to go but this is enough to get the basic idea.
Before we can merge a pid namespace patch all of the kernel pid_t users need
to be examined. Those that deal with user space processes need to be
converted to using a struct pid *. Those that deal with kernel processes need
to converted to using the kthread api. A rare few that only use their current
processes pid values get to be left alone.
This patch:
task_session returns the struct pid of a tasks session.
task_pgrp returns the struct pid of a tasks process group.
task_tgid returns the struct pid of a tasks thread group.
task_pid returns the struct pid of a tasks process id.
These can be used to avoid unnecessary hash table lookups, and to implement
safe pid comparisions in the face of a pid namespace.

[PATCH] proc: readdir race fix (take 3)
The problem: An opendir, readdir, closedir sequence can fail to report
process ids that are continually in use throughout the sequence of system
calls. For this race to trigger the process that proc_pid_readdir stops at
must exit before readdir is called again.
This can cause ps to fail to report processes, and it is in violation of
posix guarantees and normal application expectations with respect to
readdir.
Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short
of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all
happens in on system call.
This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that
guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed
while reading the directory entry will be returned. For directory that are
either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them.
Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen.
These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and
more importantly that user space expects. Plus it is a simple semantic to
implement reliable service. It is just a matter of calling readdir a
second time if you are wondering if something new has show up.
These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in
numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset.
The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is
remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm. Given that a typical
cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids. There
are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space. A typical system
will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to
look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the
entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable.
If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data
structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be
sufficient.
In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than
what we are doing now.
Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed. It is possible
to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the
thread of it's thread group leader. This patch carefully handles that case
so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the
de_thread dance.

It also turns out, there was one pte update in PAE mode that wasn't using any

The ptep_establish macro is only used on user-level PTEs, for P->P mapping

the strong synchronization of a 64-bit cmpxchg is not needed, in fact, not

[PATCH] paravirt: kpte flush
Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the
subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single
hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for
kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing
a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries
which may still have valid TLB mappings. This is required for direct mode
hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when
changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page
table or descriptor table page). But it also provides some nicer semantics
for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale
mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the
cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when
two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

[PATCH] paravirt: combine flush accessed dirty.patch
Remove ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty|young} from i386, and instead use the
dominating functions, ptep_clear_flush_{dirty|young}. This allows the TLB
page flush to be contained in the same macro, and allows for an eager
optimization - if reading the PTE initially returned dirty/accessed, we can
assume the fact that no subsequent update to the PTE which cleared accessed /
dirty has occurred, as the only way A/D bits can change without holding the
page table lock is if a remote processor clears them. This eliminates an
extra branch which came from the generic version of the code, as we know that
no other CPU could have cleared the A/D bit, so the flush will always be
needed.
We still export these two defines, even though we do not actually define
the macros in the i386 code:
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_DIRTY
The reason for this is that the only use of these functions is within the
generic clear_flush functions, and we want a strong guarantee that there
are no other users of these functions, so we want to prevent the generic
code from defining them for us.

[PATCH] paravirt: lazy mmu mode hooks.patch
Implement lazy MMU update hooks which are SMP safe for both direct and shadow
page tables. The idea is that PTE updates and page invalidations while in
lazy mode can be batched into a single hypercall. We use this in VMI for
shadow page table synchronization, and it is a win. It also can be used by
PPC and for direct page tables on Xen.
For SMP, the enter / leave must happen under protection of the page table
locks for page tables which are being modified. This is because otherwise,
you end up with stale state in the batched hypercall, which other CPUs can
race ahead of. Doing this under the protection of the locks guarantees the
synchronization is correct, and also means that spurious faults which are
generated during this window by remote CPUs are properly handled, as the page
fault handler must re-check the PTE under protection of the same lock.

[PATCH] invalidate_inode_pages2(): ignore page refcounts
The recent fix to invalidate_inode_pages() (git commit
016eb4a) managed to
unfix invalidate_inode_pages2().
The problem is that various bits of code in the kernel can take transient refs
on pages: the page scanner will do this when inspecting a batch of pages, and
the lru_cache_add() batching pagevecs also hold a ref.
Net result is transient failures in invalidate_inode_pages2(). This affects
NFS directory invalidation (observed) and presumably also block-backed
direct-io (not yet reported).
Fix it by reverting invalidate_inode_pages2() back to the old version which
ignores the page refcounts.
We may come up with something more clever later, but for now we need a 2.6.18

[PATCH] Support piping into commands in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
Using the infrastructure created in previous patches implement support to
pipe core dumps into programs.
This is done by overloading the existing core_pattern sysctl
with a new syntax:
|program
When the first character of the pattern is a '|' the kernel will instead
threat the rest of the pattern as a command to run. The core dump will be
written to the standard input of that program instead of to a file.
This is useful for having automatic core dump analysis without filling up
disks. The program can do some simple analysis and save only a summary of
the core dump.
The core dump proces will run with the privileges and in the name space of
the process that caused the core dump.
I also increased the core pattern size to 128 bytes so that longer command
lines fit.
Most of the changes comes from allowing core dumps without seeks. They are
fairly straight forward though.
One small incompatibility is that if someone had a core pattern previously
that started with '|' they will get suddenly new behaviour. I think that's
unlikely to be a real problem though.
Additional background:
> Very nice, do you happen to have a program that can accept this kind of
> input for crash dumps? I'm guessing that the embedded people will
> really want this functionality.
I had a cheesy demo/prototype. Basically it wrote the dump to a file again,
ran gdb on it to get a backtrace and wrote the summary to a shared directory.
Then there was a simple CGI script to generate a "top 10" crashes HTML
listing.
Unfortunately this still had the disadvantage to needing full disk space for a
dump except for deleting it afterwards (in fact it was worse because over the
pipe holes didn't work so if you have a holey address map it would require
more space).
Fortunately gdb seems to be happy to handle /proc/pid/fd/xxx input pipes as
cores (at least it worked with zsh's =(cat core) syntax), so it would be
likely possible to do it without temporary space with a simple wrapper that
calls it in the right way. I ran out of time before doing that though.
The demo prototype scripts weren't very good. If there is really interest I
can dig them out (they are currently on a laptop disk on the desk with the
laptop itself being in service), but I would recommend to rewrite them for any
serious application of this and fix the disk space problem.
Also to be really useful it should probably find a way to automatically fetch
the debuginfos (I cheated and just installed them in advance). If nobody else
does it I can probably do the rewrite myself again at some point.
My hope at some point was that desktops would support it in their builtin
crash reporters, but at least the KDE people I talked too seemed to be happy
with their user space only solution.
Alan sayeth:
I don't believe that piping as such as neccessarily the right model, but
the ability to intercept and processes core dumps from user space is asked
for by many enterprise users as well. They want to know about, capture,
analyse and process core dumps, often centrally and in automated form.

The problem the flush_tlb_all() is trying to solve is to avoid stale tlb
entries in the ioremap area. We're just being conservative by flushing
on both map and unmap. Technically what vmalloc/vfree does (only flush
the tlb on unmap) is just fine because it means that the only tlb
entries in the remap area must belong to in-use mappings.

[PATCH] stack overflow safe kdump: safe smp_send_nmi_allbutself()
Re-implement smp_send_nmi_allbutself() so that calls to smp_processor_id
(through send_IPI_allbutself) can be replaced with safe_smp_processor_id
without affecting other parts of the kernel (as suggested by Eric Biederman).
