2007-10-22Intel IOMMU: Avoid memory allocation failures in dma map api callsKeshavamurthy, Anil S1-4/+26
Intel IOMMU driver needs memory during DMA map calls to setup its internal page tables and for other data structures. As we all know that these DMA map calls are mostly called in the interrupt context or with the spinlock held by the upper level drivers(network/storage drivers), so in order to avoid any memory allocation failure due to low memory issues, this patch makes memory allocation by temporarily setting PF_MEMALLOC flags for the current task before making memory allocation calls. We evaluated mempools as a backup when kmem_cache_alloc() fails and found that mempools are really not useful here because 1) We don't know for sure how much to reserve in advance 2) And mempools are not useful for GFP_ATOMIC case (as we call memory alloc functions with GFP_ATOMIC) (akpm: point 2 is wrong...) With PF_MEMALLOC flag set in the current->flags, the VM subsystem avoids any watermark checks before allocating memory thus guarantee'ing the memory till the last free page. Further, looking at the code in mm/page_alloc.c in __alloc_pages() function, looks like this flag is useful only in the non-interrupt context. If we are in the interrupt context and memory allocation in IOMMU driver fails for some reason, then the DMA map api's will return failure and it is up to the higher level drivers to retry. Suppose, if upper level driver programs the controller with the buggy DMA virtual address, the IOMMU will block that DMA transaction when that happens thus preventing any corruption to main memory. So far in our test scenario, we were unable to create any memory allocation failure inside dma map api calls.

Actual intel IOMMU driver. Hardware spec can be found at: http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization This driver sets X86_64 'dma_ops', so hook into standard DMA APIs. In this way, PCI driver will get virtual DMA address. This change is transparent to PCI drivers.

2007-10-22Intel IOMMU: IOVA allocation and management routinesKeshavamurthy, Anil S2-0/+419
This code implements a generic IOVA allocation and management. As per Dave's suggestion we are now allocating IO virtual address from Higher DMA limit address rather than lower end address and this eliminated the need to preserve the IO virtual address for multiple devices sharing the same domain virtual address. Also this code uses red black trees to store the allocated and reserved iova nodes. This showed a good performance improvements over previous linear linked list.

2007-10-22Intel IOMMU: PCI generic helper functionKeshavamurthy, Anil S4-0/+51
When devices are under a p2p bridge, upstream transactions get replaced by the device id of the bridge as it owns the PCIE transaction. Hence its necessary to setup translations on behalf of the bridge as well. Due to this limitation all devices under a p2p share the same domain in a DMAR. We just cache the type of device, if its a native PCIe device or not for later use.

2007-10-22Intel IOMMU: DMAR detection and parsing logicKeshavamurthy, Anil S5-7/+415
This patch supports the upcomming Intel IOMMU hardware a.k.a. Intel(R) Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Architecture and the hardware spec for the same can be found here http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/index.htm FAQ! (questions from akpm, answers from ak) > So... what's all this code for? > > I assume that the intent here is to speed things up under Xen, etc? Yes in some cases, but not this code. That would be the Xen version of this code that could potentially assign whole devices to guests. I expect this to be only useful in some special cases though because most hardware is not virtualizable and you typically want an own instance for each guest. Ok at some point KVM might implement this too; i likely would use this code for this. > Do we > have any benchmark results to help us to decide whether a merge would be > justified? The main advantage for doing it in the normal kernel is not performance, but more safety. Broken devices won't be able to corrupt memory by doing random DMA. Unfortunately that doesn't work for graphics yet, for that need user space interfaces for the X server are needed. There are some potential performance benefits too: - When you have a device that cannot address the complete address range an IOMMU can remap its memory instead of bounce buffering. Remapping is likely cheaper than copying. - The IOMMU can merge sg lists into a single virtual block. This could potentially speed up SG IO when the device is slow walking SG lists. [I long ago benchmarked 5% on some block benchmark with an old MPT Fusion; but it probably depends a lot on the HBA] And you get better driver debugging because unexpected memory accesses from the devices will cause a trappable event. > > Does it slow anything down? It adds more overhead to each IO so yes. This patch: Add support for early detection and parsing of DMAR's (DMA Remapping) reported to OS via ACPI tables. DMA remapping(DMAR) devices support enables independent address translations for Direct Memory Access(DMA) from Devices. These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables and includes pci device scope covered by these DMA remapping device.

Fix a panic due to access NULL pointer of kmem_cache_node at discard_slab() after memory online. When memory online is called, kmem_cache_nodes are created for all SLUBs for new node whose memory are available. slab_mem_going_online_callback() is called to make kmem_cache_node() in callback of memory online event. If it (or other callbacks) fails, then slab_mem_offline_callback() is called for rollback. In memory offline, slab_mem_going_offline_callback() is called to shrink all slub cache, then slab_mem_offline_callback() is called later.

2007-10-22memory hotplug: rearrange memory hotplug notifierYasunori Goto3-23/+61
Current memory notifier has some defects yet. (Fortunately, nothing uses it.) This patch is to fix and rearrange for them. - Add information of start_pfn, nr_pages, and node id if node status is changes from/to memoryless node for callback functions. Callbacks can't do anything without those information. - Add notification going-online status. It is necessary for creating per node structure before the node's pages are available. - Move GOING_OFFLINE status notification after page isolation. It is good place for return memory like cache for callback, because returned page is not used again. - Make CANCEL events for rollingback when error occurs. - Delete MEM_MAPPING_INVALID notification. It will be not used. - Fix compile error of (un)register_memory_notifier().

2007-10-22i386: paravirt boot sequenceRusty Russell4-6/+63
This patch uses the updated boot protocol to do paravirtualized boot. If the boot version is >= 2.07, then it will do two things: 1. Check the bootparams loadflags to see if we should reload the segment registers and clear interrupts. This is appropriate for normal native boot and some paravirtualized environments, but inapproprate for others. 2. Check the hardware architecture, and dispatch to the appropriate kernel entrypoint. If the bootloader doesn't set this, then we simply do the normal boot sequence.

2007-10-21[PATCH] audit: watching subtreesAl Viro10-10/+1310
New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree". The part that can be sanely implemented, that is. Limitations: * if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously) * if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees * if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there. New command tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false positives. Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places (multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does _not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

2007-10-20[PARISC] fix uninitialized variable warning in asm/rtc.hKyle McMartin1-2/+2
get_rtc_time, in the case that PDC returns that the battery is bad, returns an unmodified rtc_time arg to the caller, which then uses uninitialized values. Fix this by memset-ing the arg with zeroes, so it will at least be cleared if we return failure. Spotted by John David Anglin. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca>

2007-10-20kbuild: restore arch/{ppc/xtensa}/boot cflagsMilton Miller2-1/+4
Commit 9a39e273d4df0560c724c5fe71f6314a0583ca2b removed the boot directory addition to CFLAGS that was being used by the subdirectory builds. For the other files, that patch set EXTRA_CFLAGS, but Makefile.build explicitly sets that to empty as it is explicitly for a single directory only. Append to KBUILD_CFLAGS instead.
