But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side\ncritical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing. A more\nfine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required.\n\nThis commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service,\nso that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is\nalways invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration. Similarly,\nrcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked\nat the end of an idle-loop iteration. This allows the idle task to\nuse RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and\nrcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to\nspecify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used.\n\nBecause some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks\nto RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that\nthe irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts. This\npatch therefore expands the -\u003edynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits\nand uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions\nand interrupt entry/exit transitions. It is presumed that userspace\nupcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution\n(though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall).\nThe counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which\navoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating.

This can be\nrevisited once the upstream cleanup is backported.\n\nSigned-off-by: Eric Gouriou \u003cegouriou@google.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: \"Theodore Ts\u0027o\" \u003ctytso@mit.edu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "8a4a8918ed6e4a361f4df19f199bbc2d0a89a46c", "tree": "d76974986aaaa8549baf2d6a106fa6cb60d64b88", "parents": [ "8686a0e200419322654a75155e2e6f80346a1297", "540f41edc15473ca3b2876de72646546ae101374" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Oct 26 17:08:43 2011 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Oct 26 17:08:43 2011 +0200" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027sched-core-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip\n\n* \u0027sched-core-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (46 commits)\n llist: Add back llist_add_batch() and llist_del_first() prototypes\n sched: Don\u0027t use tasklist_lock for debug prints\n sched: Warn on rt throttling\n sched: Unify the -\u003ecpus_allowed mask copy\n sched: Wrap scheduler p-\u003ecpus_allowed access\n sched: Request for idle balance during nohz idle load balance\n sched: Use resched IPI to kick off the nohz idle balance\n sched: Fix idle_cpu()\n llist: Remove cpu_relax() usage in cmpxchg loops\n sched: Convert to struct llist\n llist: Add llist_next()\n irq_work: Use llist in the struct irq_work logic\n llist: Return whether list is empty before adding in llist_add()\n llist: Move cpu_relax() to after the cmpxchg()\n llist: Remove the platform-dependent NMI checks\n llist: Make some llist functions inline\n sched, tracing: Show PREEMPT_ACTIVE state in trace_sched_switch\n sched: Remove redundant test in check_preempt_tick()\n sched: Add documentation for bandwidth control\n sched: Return unused runtime on group dequeue\n ...\n" }, { "commit": "7115e3fcf45514db7525a05365b10454ff7f345e", "tree": "17450e6337d559cc35dae6a7a73abab01ac63f00", "parents": [ "1f6e05171bb5cc32a4d6437ab2269fc21d169ca7", "c752d04066a36ae30b29795f3fa3f536292c1f8c" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Oct 26 17:03:38 2011 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Oct 26 17:03:38 2011 +0200" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027perf-core-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip\n\n* \u0027perf-core-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (121 commits)\n perf symbols: Increase symbol KSYM_NAME_LEN size\n perf hists browser: Refuse \u0027a\u0027 hotkey on non symbolic views\n perf ui browser: Use libslang to read keys\n perf tools: Fix tracing info recording\n perf hists browser: Elide DSO column when it is set to just one DSO, ditto for threads\n perf hists: Don\u0027t consider filtered entries when calculating column widths\n perf hists: Don\u0027t decay total_period for filtered entries\n perf hists browser: Honour symbol_conf.show_{nr_samples,total_period}\n perf hists browser: Do not exit on tab key with single event\n perf annotate browser: Don\u0027t change selection line when returning from callq\n perf tools: handle endianness of feature bitmap\n perf tools: Add prelink suggestion to dso update message\n perf script: Fix unknown feature comment\n perf hists browser: Apply the dso and thread filters when merging new batches\n perf hists: Move the dso and thread filters from hist_browser\n perf ui browser: Honour the xterm colors\n perf top tui: Give color hints just on the percentage, like on --stdio\n perf ui browser: Make the colors configurable and change the defaults\n perf tui: Remove unneeded call to newtCls on startup\n perf hists: Don\u0027t format the percentage on hist_entry__snprintf\n ...\n\nFix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c manually.\n\nIngo\u0027s tree did the insane \"add volatile to const array\", which just\ndoesn\u0027t make sense (\"volatile const\"?).

This is more efficient than the above\n foreground writeback because the elevator works better and the disk\n seeks less.\n\n- lock contention and cache bouncing on concurrent IO submitters (Dave Chinner)\n\n With this patchset, the fs_mark benchmark on a 12-drive software RAID0 goes\n from CPU bound to IO bound, freeing \"3-4 CPUs worth of spinlock contention\".\n\n * \"CPU usage has dropped by ~55%\", \"it certainly appears that most of\n the CPU time saving comes from the removal of contention on the\n inode_wb_list_lock\" (IMHO at least 10% comes from the reduction of\n cacheline bouncing, because the new code is able to call much less\n frequently into balance_dirty_pages() and hence access the global\n page states)\n\n * the user space \"App overhead\" is reduced by 20%, by avoiding the\n cacheline pollution by the complex writeback code path\n\n * \"for a ~5% throughput reduction\", \"the number of write IOs have\n dropped by ~25%\", and the elapsed time reduced from 41:42.17 to\n 40:53.23.\n\n * On a simple test of 100 dd, it reduces the CPU %system time from 30% to 3%,\n and improves IO throughput from 38MB/s to 42MB/s.\n\n- IO size too small for fast arrays and too large for slow USB sticks\n\n The write_chunk used by current balance_dirty_pages() cannot be\n directly set to some large value (eg. 128MB) for better IO efficiency.\n Because it could lead to more than 1 second user perceivable stalls.\n Even the current 4MB write size may be too large for slow USB sticks.\n The fact that balance_dirty_pages() starts IO on itself couples the\n IO size to wait time, which makes it hard to do suitable IO size while\n keeping the wait time under control.\n\n Now it\u0027s possible to increase writeback chunk size proportional to the\n disk bandwidth. In a simple test of 50 dd\u0027s on XFS, 1-HDD, 3GB ram,\n the larger writeback size dramatically reduces the seek count to 1/10\n (far beyond my expectation) and improves the write throughput by 24%.\n\n- long block time in balance_dirty_pages() hurts desktop responsiveness\n\n Many of us may have the experience: it often takes a couple of seconds\n or even long time to stop a heavy writing dd/cp/tar command with\n Ctrl-C or \"kill -9\".\n\n- IO pipeline broken by bumpy write() progress\n\n There are a broad class of \"loop {read(buf); write(buf);}\" applications\n whose read() pipeline will be under-utilized or even come to a stop if\n the write()s have long latencies _or_ don\u0027t progress in a constant rate.\n The current threshold based throttling inherently transfers the large\n low level IO completion fluctuations to bumpy application write()s,\n and further deteriorates with increasing number of dirtiers and/or bdi\u0027s.\n\n For example, when doing 50 dd\u0027s + 1 remote rsync to an XFS partition,\n the rsync progresses very bumpy in legacy kernel, and throughput is\n improved by 67% by this patchset. (plus the larger write chunk size,\n it will be 93% speedup).\n\n The new rate based throttling can support 1000+ dd\u0027s with excellent\n smoothness, low latency and low overheads.\n\nFor the above reasons, it\u0027s much better to do IO-less and low latency\npauses in balance_dirty_pages().\n\nJan Kara, Dave Chinner and me explored the scheme to let\nbalance_dirty_pages() wait for enough writeback IO completions to\nsafeguard the dirty limit. However it\u0027s found to have two problems:\n\n- in large NUMA systems, the per-cpu counters may have big accounting\n errors, leading to big throttle wait time and jitters.\n\n- NFS may kill large amount of unstable pages with one single COMMIT.\n Because NFS server serves COMMIT with expensive fsync() IOs, it is\n desirable to delay and reduce the number of COMMITs. So it\u0027s not\n likely to optimize away such kind of bursty IO completions, and the\n resulted large (and tiny) stall times in IO completion based throttling.\n\nSo here is a pause time oriented approach, which tries to control the\npause time in each balance_dirty_pages() invocations, by controlling\nthe number of pages dirtied before calling balance_dirty_pages(), for\nsmooth and efficient dirty throttling:\n\n- avoid useless (eg. zero pause time) balance_dirty_pages() calls\n- avoid too small pause time (less than 4ms, which burns CPU power)\n- avoid too large pause time (more than 200ms, which hurts responsiveness)\n- avoid big fluctuations of pause times\n\nIt can control pause times at will. The default policy (in a followup\npatch) will be to do ~10ms pauses in 1-dd case, and increase to ~100ms\nin 1000-dd case.\n\nBEHAVIOR CHANGE\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\n(1) dirty threshold\n\nUsers will notice that the applications will get throttled once crossing\nthe global (background + dirty)/2\u003d15% threshold, and then balanced around\n17.5%. Before patch, the behavior is to just throttle it at 20% dirtyable\nmemory in 1-dd case.\n\nSince the task will be soft throttled earlier than before, it may be\nperceived by end users as performance \"slow down\" if his application\nhappens to dirty more than 15% dirtyable memory.\n\n(2) smoothness/responsiveness\n\nUsers will notice a more responsive system during heavy writeback.\n\"killall dd\" will take effect instantly.\n\nSigned-off-by: Wu Fengguang \u003cfengguang.wu@intel.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "048b718029033af117870d3da47da12995be14a3", "tree": "b3d4bf5219cd6543c35cb79d1aa08ae98cf2a8af", "parents": [ "47ea91b4052d9e94b9dca5d7a3d947fbebd07ba9", "afe24b122eb6edb5f1cb942570ac8d766105c7fc" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Sat Oct 01 14:21:36 2011 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Sat Oct 01 14:21:36 2011 +0200" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027rcu/next\u0027 of git://github.com/paulmckrcu/linux into core/rcu\n" }, { "commit": "d4c08f2ac311a360230eef7e5395b0ec8d8f0670", "tree": "06e425b8153e076fbe43b037cf4497ac50afddb7", "parents": [ "965a002b4f1a458c5dcb334ec29f48a0046faa25" ], "author": { "name": "Paul E.

Substantial changes in the algorithm may require tweaks to\nthe stats but they should be useful for simpler things.\n\nSigned-off-by: Mark Brown \u003cbroonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "593600890110c02eb471cf844649dee213870416", "tree": "c696723995636b93ba7031d1ec7ad6169d7135f7", "parents": [ "2cbbb579bcbe3e11baf1c59920dcd5a780b80447" ], "author": { "name": "Dimitris Papastamos", "email": "dp@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com", "time": "Mon Sep 19 14:34:04 2011 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Mark Brown", "email": "broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com", "time": "Mon Sep 19 19:06:34 2011 +0100" }, "message": "regmap: Add the regcache_sync trace event\n\nSigned-off-by: Dimitris Papastamos \u003cdp@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Mark Brown \u003cbroonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d8990240d8c911064447f8aa5a440f9345a6d692", "tree": "c12cda27583eb9616d91ec38fdfd79c6eb490bd5", "parents": [ "df55c99dc8ee4c3c886a5edc8a4aa6b131c95afc" ], "author": { "name": "Aditya Kali", "email": "adityakali@google.com", "time": "Fri Sep 09 19:18:51 2011 -0400" }, "committer": { "name": "Theodore Ts\u0027o", "email": "tytso@mit.edu", "time": "Fri Sep 09 19:18:51 2011 -0400" }, "message": "ext4: add some tracepoints in ext4/extents.c\n\nThis patch adds some tracepoints in ext4/extents.c and updates a tracepoint in\next4/inode.c.\n\nTested: Built and ran the kernel and verified that these tracepoints work.\nAlso ran xfstests.\n\nSigned-off-by: Aditya Kali \u003cadityakali@google.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: \"Theodore Ts\u0027o\" \u003ctytso@mit.edu\u003e\n \n\n" }, { "commit": "c8ad620638f97bdb7c8ef8cc788f08a04b14eadc", "tree": "9541b23f41a8240c6377658adeb580d04fa7a3e0", "parents": [ "9e79e3e9dd9672b37ac9412e9a926714306551fe" ], "author": { "name": "Wu Fengguang", "email": "fengguang.wu@intel.com", "time": "Mon Aug 29 09:52:23 2011 -0600" }, "committer": { "name": "Wu Fengguang", "email": "fengguang.wu@intel.com", "time": "Wed Aug 31 08:48:15 2011 +0800" }, "message": "writeback: show raw dirtied_when in trace writeback_single_inode\n\nSave inode-\u003edirtied_when in the raw trace output for reliable scripting,\nand to also show in formatted output the relative age in seconds for\neasy human reading.\n\nCC: Jan Kara \u003cjack@suse.cz\u003e\nAcked-by: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@infradead.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Wu Fengguang \u003cfengguang.wu@intel.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "5ccc38740a283aba81a00e92941310d0c1aeb2ee", "tree": "ba7d725947975a9391e085bd1d5958b004bfdc3e", "parents": [ "0c3bef612881ee6216a36952ffaabfc35b83545c", "b53d1ed734a2b9af8da115b836b658daa7d47a48" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Aug 19 10:47:07 2011 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Aug 19 10:47:07 2011 -0700" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block\n\n* \u0027for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (23 commits)\n Revert \"cfq: Remove special treatment for metadata rqs.\"\n block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags\n block: improve rq_affinity placement\n blktrace: add FLUSH/FUA support\n Move some REQ flags to the common bio/request area\n allow blk_flush_policy to return REQ_FSEQ_DATA independent of *FLUSH\n xen/blkback: Make description more obvious.\n cfq-iosched: Add documentation about idling\n block: Make rq_affinity \u003d 1 work as expected\n block: swim3: fix unterminated of_device_id table\n block/genhd.c: remove useless cast in diskstats_show()\n drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c: relax check on dvd manufacturer value\n drivers/block/drbd/drbd_nl.c: use bitmap_parse instead of __bitmap_parse\n bsg-lib: add module.h include\n cfq-iosched: Reduce linked group count upon group destruction\n blk-throttle: correctly determine sync bio\n loop: fix deadlock when sysfs and LOOP_CLR_FD race against each other\n loop: add BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT\u003d%i to allow distros 0 pre-allocated loop devices\n loop: add management interface for on-demand device allocation\n loop: replace linked list of allocated devices with an idr index\n ...\n" }, { "commit": "c09c47caedc9854d59378d6e34c989e51cfdd2b4", "tree": "ad7de20c08092cdf1cbbb83625a76acab3b0e2ce", "parents": [ "8e4bf84474960e832b56293c9b0674c88b5b05ce" ], "author": { "name": "Namhyung Kim", "email": "namhyung@gmail.com", "time": "Thu Aug 11 10:36:05 2011 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jaxboe@fusionio.com", "time": "Thu Aug 11 10:36:05 2011 +0200" }, "message": "blktrace: add FLUSH/FUA support\n\nAdd FLUSH/FUA support to blktrace.

In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded\nperformance by about 40%.\n\nThe commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed\nhigh rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has\n64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second\nwhich is caused by RCU\u0027s per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of\nthe time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn\u0027t actually handle any callbacks,\nbut instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.\nThis means that RCU\u0027s per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite\na bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related\nprocessing to be done.\n\nAlex Shi\u0027s analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock\ncontention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points\nout, the scheduler\u0027s real-time semantics require global action, which\nmeans that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes,\nperhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not\ngoing to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around\nthis issue in the meantime. And \"the meantime\" might well be forever.)\n\nThis patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only\nfor core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,\nso that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the\ncommon case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to\nskip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST\u003dy kernels.\n\nSigned-off-by: Shaohua Li \u003cshaohua.li@intel.com\u003e\nTested-by: \"Alex,Shi\" \u003calex.shi@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.
