[PATCH] io-accounting: report in procfs
Add a simple /proc/pid/io to show the IO accounting fields.
Maybe this shouldn't be merged in mainline - the preferred reporting channel
is taskstats. But given the poor state of our userspace support for
taskstats, this is useful for developer-testing, at least. And it improves
the changes that the procps developers will wire it up into top(1). Opinions
are sought.
The patch also wires up the existing IO-accounting fields.
It's a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if process A reads process B's
/proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of those 64-bit counters, process
A could see an intermediate result.

Accounting writes is fairly simple: whenever a process flips a page from clean
to dirty, we accuse it of having caused a write to underlying storage of
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes.
This may overestimate the amount of writing: the page-dirtying may cause only
one buffer_head's worth of writeout. Fixing that is possible, but probably a
bit messy and isn't obviously important.

[PATCH] io-accounting: core statistics
The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful. It simply counts the
number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB
from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,
which is wrong.
(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:
For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very
useful
read_bytes/read_calls average read request size
write_bytes/write_calls average write request size
read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing
write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can
be missed
I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache
problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are
dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache
contention.
I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing
efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high
IO commands).
This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account
for three things:
reads:
attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause
to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it
is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and
CIFS.
writes:
attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent
to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time.
The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file
and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will
have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.
So...
cancelled_writes:
account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by
truncating pagecache.
We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But
that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative
amounts of write IO, which is silly.
So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.
Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But
- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page
level (would require a new pointer in struct page).
- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available
long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot
communicate this info via taskstats.
This patch:
Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to
manipulate them.

[PATCH] pdc202xx_new: fix PLL/timing issues
Fix the CRC errors in the higher UltraDMA modes with the Promise PDC20268
and newer chips that always occur on non-x86 machines and when there are
more than 2 adapters on x86 machines. Fix the overclocking issue for
PDC20269 and newer chips that occurs when an UltraDMA/133 capable drive is
connected. Here's the summary of changes:
- add code to detect the PLL input clock detection and setup it output clock,
remove the PowerMac hacks;
- replace the macros accessing the indexed regiters with functions, switch to
using them where appropriate, gather the PIO/MWDMA/UDMA timings into tables;
- rewrite the speedproc() handler to set the drive's transfer mode first, and
then override the timing registers set by hardware on UltraDMA/133 chips;
- use better criterion for determining higher UltraDMA modes, and add comment
concerning the doubtful value of the code enabling IORDY/prefetch;
- replace the stupid 'pdcnew_new_' prefixes with mere 'pdcnew_';
- get rid of unneded spaces, parens and type casts, clean up some printk's,
add some new lines here and there...
This work is loosely based on these former patches by Albert Lee:
Some PLL clock detection code was backported from his pata_pdc2027x driver...
This code has been successfully tested by me on PDC2026[89] chips.
I tried to keep this rework as several patches but it made no sense: [2] was
largely a modification of the non-working timing override code, [3] by itself
extended the overclocking issue to the case of non-UltraDMA/133 drives, and
finally, the cleanup patch based on [1] ended up rejected...

[PATCH] read_zero_pagealigned() locking fix
Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel
bugzilla 7645. Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem,
but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can
easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range
getting there. It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3.
The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads
of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly
affected. So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of
BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in
that case - there's no need to optimize for it.
Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of
zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there. And since
mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that

2.6.19 stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64
systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19. check_nmi_watchdog schedules an
IPI on all cpus to busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait
flag if NMI functionality is disabled. This causes the secondary cpus
to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang.
Depending upon the build, the busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable)
and caused the kernel to bootup on certain builds. Following patch fixes
the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog.
I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could
potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.

[PATCH] WorkStruct: Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg()
Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() as the latter is unavailable
and unimplementable on some platforms and is actually unnecessary.
The use of cmpxchg() was to guard against two possibilities, neither of
which can actually occur:
(1) The pending flag may have been unset or may be cleared. However, given
where it's called, the pending flag is _always_ set. I don't think it
can be unset whilst we're in set_wq_data().
Once the work is enqueued to be actually run, the only way off the queue
is for it to be actually run.
If it's a delayed work item, then the bit can't be cleared by the timer
because we haven't started the timer yet. Also, the pending bit can't be
cleared by cancelling the delayed work _until_ the work item has had its
timer started.
(2) The workqueue pointer might change. This can only happen in two cases:
(a) The work item has just been queued to actually run, and so we're
protected by the appropriate workqueue spinlock.
(b) A delayed work item is being queued, and so the timer hasn't been
started yet, and so no one else knows about the work item or can
access it (the pending bit protects us).
Besides, set_wq_data() _sets_ the workqueue pointer unconditionally, so
it can be assigned instead.
So, replacing the set_wq_data() with a straight assignment would be okay
in most cases.
The problem is where we end up tangling with test_and_set_bit() emulated
using spinlocks, and even then it's not a problem _provided_
test_and_set_bit() doesn't attempt to modify the word if the bit was
set.
If that's a problem, then a bitops-proofed assignment will be required -
equivalent to atomic_set() vs other atomic_xxx() ops.

Back in 2.4 arp requests that were recevied by netpoll were processed

for this function, but instead of using the src mac address of the
incomming request, the stored mac address that was registered for the
netconsole application is used. While this is usually ok, it can lead
to failures in netpoll in some situations (specifically situations
where a network may have two gateways, as arp requests from one may be

[PATCH] dm: mpath: use noflush suspending
Implement the pushback feature for the multipath target.
The pushback request is used when:
1) there are no valid paths;
2) queue_if_no_path was set;
3) a suspend is being issued with the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.
Otherwise bios are returned to applications with -EIO.
To check whether queue_if_no_path is specified or not, you need to check
both queue_if_no_path and saved_queue_if_no_path, because presuspend saves
the original queue_if_no_path value to saved_queue_if_no_path.
The check for 1 already exists in both map_io() and do_end_io().
So this patch adds __must_push_back() to check 2 and 3.
Test results:
See the test results in the preceding patch.

[PATCH] dm: suspend: add noflush pushback
In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing.
For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths
are available instead of returning it -EIO.
This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the
contents of any such in-target queue back into the core. This frees up the
resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an
alternative one and then resend the I/O to it. Without this patch the only
way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with
an error back to the filesystem/application. In the multipath case, this
patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing
paths have failed.
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
----------------------
If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend(). It
is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns.
The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it
is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait
for md->pending where the flush ends.
Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending().
A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the
device mapper core queue the bio.
Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request
the same. This has been labelled 'pushback'.
The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return
values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O.
dec_pending
-----------
dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error. Once all
the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on
the md->pushback list. Note that this supercedes any I/O errors.
It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while
in progress (e.g. by user interrupt). dec_pending() checks for this and
returns -EIO if it happened.
pushdback list and pushback_lock
--------------------------------
The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after
all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in
dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time.
md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback.
The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be
called from interrupt context.
Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically
with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag. So md->pushback_lock is
held when checking the flag. Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to
md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback.
Then the bio would be left in md->pushback.
Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because
the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already
made visible via the target's presuspend function.
The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of
the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again
with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback
as described above. So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless
checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications
with -EIO.
Other notes on the current patch
--------------------------------
- md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using
md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is
rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(),
and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too.
- Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be
pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices.
- If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to
the list already. (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend())
Test results
------------
I have tested using multipath target with the next patch.
The following tests are for regression/compatibility:
- I/Os succeed when valid paths exist;
- I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not
set;
- I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set;
- The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the
DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option. I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also
fail.
The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature:
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target
but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
ioctl option;
- The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when
resume is issued without path recovery;
- The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery
or table load;
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued
with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os
spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed.
The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature:
- When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the
pushback list are flushed properly.
- When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted,
o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list
at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time;
o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.
