[PATCH] nfs: fix congestion control

The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the
backing device congested during each nfs_writepages() call but doesn't
mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks.  Also it
implements its own waitqueue.

Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.

Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to
SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

[PATCH] dio: invalidate clean pages before dio write

This patch fixes a user-triggerable oops that was reported by Leonid
Ananiev as archived at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/8/337.

dio writes invalidate clean pages that intersect the written region so that
subsequent buffered reads go to disk to read the new data.  If this fails
the interface tries to tell the caller that the cache is inconsistent by
returning EIO.

Before this patch we had the problem where this invalidation failure would
clobber -EIOCBQUEUED as it made its way from fs/direct-io.c to fs/aio.c.
Both fs/aio.c and bio completion call aio_complete() and we reference freed
memory, usually oopsing.

This patch addresses this problem by invalidating before the write so that
we can cleanly return -EIO before ->direct_IO() has had a chance to return
-EIOCBQUEUED.

There is a compromise here.  During the dio write we can fault in mmap()ed
pages which intersect the written range with get_user_pages() if the user
provided them for the source buffer.  This is a crazy thing to do, but we
can make it mostly work in most cases by trying the invalidation again.
The compromise is that we won't return an error if this second invalidation
fails if it's an AIO write and we have -EIOCBQUEUED.

This was tested by having two processes race performing large O_DIRECT and
buffered ordered writes.  Within minutes ext3 would see a race between
ext3_releasepage() and jbd holding a reference on ordered data buffers and
would cause invalidation to fail, panicing the box.  The test can be found
in the 'aio_dio_bugs' test group in test.kernel.org/autotest.  After this
patch the test passes.

This patch (as869) reinstates the mutual exclusion between sysfs
attribute method calls and attribute unregistration.  The
previously-reported deadlocks have been fixed, and this exclusion is
by far the simplest way to avoid races during driver unbinding.

The check for orphaned read-buffers has been moved down slightly, so

to userspace even after the attribute has been unregistered.

natsemi: Fix NAPI for interrupt sharing

The interrupt status register for the natsemi chips is clear on read and
was read unconditionally from both the interrupt and from the NAPI poll
routine, meaning that if the interrupt service routine was called (for
example, due to a shared interrupt) while a NAPI poll was scheduled
interrupts could be missed.  This patch fixes that by ensuring that the
interrupt status register is only read by the interrupt handler when
interrupts are enabled from the chip.

It also reverts a workaround for this problem from the netpoll hook and
improves the trace for interrupt events.

[PATCH] pci: Repair pci_save/restore_state so we can restore one save many times.

Because we do not reserve space for the pci-x and pci-e state in struct
pci dev we need to dynamically allocate it.  However because we need
to support restore being called multiple times after a single save
it is never safe to free the buffers we have allocated to hold the
state.

So this patch modifies the save routines to first check to see
if we have already allocated a state buffer before allocating
a new one.  Then the restore routines are modified to not free
the state after restoring it.  Simple and it fixes some subtle
error path handling bugs, that are hard to test for.

Eric W. Biederman [Thu, 8 Mar 2007 20:04:57 +0000 (13:04 -0700)]
[PATCH] msi: Safer state caching.

There are two ways pci_save_state and pci_restore_state are used.  As
helper functions during suspend/resume, and as helper functions around
a hardware reset event.  When used as helper functions around a hardware
reset event there is no reason to believe the calls will be paired, nor
is there a good reason to believe that if we restore the msi state from
before the reset that it will match the current msi state.  Since arch
code may change the msi message without going through the driver, drivers
currently do not have enough information to even know when to call
pci_save_state to ensure they will have msi state in sync with the other
kernel irq reception data structures.

It turns out the solution is straight forward, cache the state in the
existing msi data structures (not the magic pci saved things) and
have the msi code update the cached state each time we write to the hardware.
This means we never need to read the hardware to figure out what the hardware
state should be.

By modifying the caching in this manner we get to remove our save_state
routines and only need to provide restore_state routines.

The only fields that were at all tricky to regenerate were the msi and msi-x
control registers and the way we regenerate them currently is a bit dependent
upon assumptions on how we use the allow msi registers to be configured and used
making the code a little bit brittle.  If we ever change what cases we allow
or how we configure the msi bits we can address the fragility then.
