2009-12-03net: Batch inet_twsk_purgeEric W. Biederman1-3/+3
This function walks the whole hashtable so there is no point in passing it a network namespace. Instead I purge all timewait sockets from dead network namespaces that I find. If the namespace is one of the once I am trying to purge I am guaranteed no new timewait sockets can be formed so this will get them all. If the namespace is one I am not acting for it might form a few more but I will call inet_twsk_purge again and shortly to get rid of them. In any even if the network namespace is dead timewait sockets are useless. Move the calls of inet_twsk_purge into batch_exit routines so that if I am killing a bunch of namespaces at once I will just call inet_twsk_purge once and save a lot of redundant unnecessary work. My simple 4k network namespace exit test the cleanup time dropped from roughly 8.2s to 1.6s. While the time spent running inet_twsk_purge fell to about 2ms. 1ms for ipv4 and 1ms for ipv6.

This is required for network namespace support so 2 out of the 3 callers already do this, it allows the error handling to be made common, and it allows fib_rules_unregister to free the template for hte caller.

2009-12-03Bluetooth: Implement RejActioned flagGustavo F. Padovan1-0/+1
RejActioned is used to prevent retransmission when a entity is on the WAIT_F state, i.e., waiting for a frame with F-bit set due local busy condition or a expired retransmission timer. (When these two events raise they send a frame with the Poll bit set and enters in the WAIT_F state to wait for a frame with the Final bit set.) The local entity doesn't send I-frames(the data frames) until the receipt of a frame with F-bit set. When that happens it also set RejActioned to false. RejActioned is a mandatory feature of ERTM spec. Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <gustavo@las.ic.unicamp.br> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2009-12-03Bluetooth: Fix sending ReqSeq on I-framesGustavo F. Padovan1-1/+0
As specified by ERTM spec an ERTM channel can acknowledge received I-frames(the data frames) by sending an I-frame with the proper ReqSeq value (i.e. ReqSeq is set to BufferSeq). Until now we aren't setting the ReqSeq value on I-frame control bits. That way we can save sending S-frames(Supervise frames) only to acknowledge receipt of I-frames. It is very helpful to the full-duplex channel. ReqSeq is the packet sequence number sent in an acknowledgement frame to acknowledge receipt of frames up to (ReqSeq - 1). BufferSeq controls the receiver buffer, it is used to delay acknowledgement of new frames to not cause buffer overflow. BufferSeq value is not increased until frames are pulled by reassembly function. Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <gustavo@las.ic.unicamp.br> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2009-12-03GFS2: Tag all metadata with jidSteven Whitehouse1-1/+5
There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2 metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal id of the node which is performing the modification. The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the last to modify a particular metadata block. Since the field is updated before the block is written into the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this is the journal header block, which might have a different node's id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the cluster. Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered it, via the journal header. The other field in the metadata header could potentially be used to hold information about what kind of operation was performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll know that the information (where it exists) is reliable. I did consider using the other field to hold the journal sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write the modified data into the journal and not the original data, this gives no information as to what action caused the modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better use for those 64 bits in the future.

2009-12-03block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroedMartin K. Petersen2-0/+15
The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether discarded blocks are properly zeroed. Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and queried via a new block device ioctl. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

We translate a WRITE SAME 16 command with the unmap bit set into an ATA TRIM command and export enough information in READ CAPACITY 16 and the block limits EVPD page so that the new SCSI layer discard support will driver this for us. Note that I hardcode the WRITE_SAME_16 opcode for now as the patch to introduce the symbolic is not in 2.6.32 yet but only in the SCSI tree - as soon as it is merged we can fix it up to properly use the symbolic name.

2009-12-03libata: retry failed FLUSH if device didn't fail itTejun Heo1-1/+1
If ATA device failed FLUSH, it means that the device failed to write out some amount of data and the error needs to be reported to upper layers. As retries can't recover the lost data, FLUSH failures need to be reported immediately in general. However, if FLUSH fails due to transmission errors, the FLUSH needs to be retried; otherwise, filesystems may switch to RO mode and/or raid array may drop a drive for a random transmission glitch. This condition can be rather easily reproduced on certain ahci controllers which go through a PHY event after powersave mode switch + ext4 combination. Powersave mode switch is often closely followed by flush from the filesystem failing the FLUSH with ATA bus error which makes the filesystem code believe that data is lost and drop to RO mode. This was reported in the following bugzilla bug. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14543 This patch makes libata EH retry FLUSH if it wasn't failed by the device.

2009-12-03KVM: allow userspace to adjust kvmclock offsetGlauber Costa1-0/+10
When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time will be significantly impacted. Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with a smaller monotonic clock. This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

2009-12-03KVM: Xen PV-on-HVM guest supportEd Swierk1-0/+16
Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen hypercall blob into guest address space. A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future. Thus this patch adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR. I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that userspace has loaded from files. When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest. I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.

2009-12-03KVM: Activate Virtualization On DemandAlexander Graf1-1/+1
X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB entries (svm). Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking other VMMs. To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine and disabled on destruction of the last one. So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other hypervisors usable.

This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old) patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original author (Adam Langley): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586 The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce, instead of a user configured offset in the data. This is more flexible and less subject to user configuration error. Such a cookie option has been suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing several related concepts to use the same extension option.
