      iscsi-target; Allow an extra tag_num / 2 number of percpu_ida tags · 9e20ae33
      Nicholas Bellinger authored
      
      
      This patch bumps the default number of tags allocated per session by
      iscsi-target via transport_alloc_session_tags() -> percpu_ida_init()
      by another (tag_num / 2).
      
      This is done to take into account the tags waiting to be acknowledged
      and released in iscsit_ack_from_expstatsn(), but who's number are not
      directly limited by the CmdSN Window queue_depth being enforced by
      the target.
      
      Using a larger value here is also useful to prevent percpu_ida_alloc()
      from having to steal tags from other CPUs when no tags are available
      on the local CPU, while waiting for unacknowledged tags to be released.

      iscsi-target: Perform release of acknowledged tags from RX context · f56cbbb4
      Nicholas Bellinger authored
      
      
      This patch converts iscsit_ack_from_expstatsn() to populate a local
      ack_list of commands, and call iscsit_free_cmd() directly from RX
      thread context, instead of using iscsit_add_cmd_to_immediate_queue()
      to queue the acknowledged commands to be released from TX thread
      context.
      
      It is helpful to release the acknowledge commands as quickly as
      possible, along with the associated percpu_ida tags, in order to
      prevent percpu_ida_alloc() from having to steal tags from other
      CPUs while waiting for iscsit_free_cmd() to happen from TX thread
      context.

      iscsi-target: Only perform wait_for_tasks when performing shutdown · e255a285
      Nicholas Bellinger authored
      
      
      This patch changes transport_generic_free_cmd() to only wait_for_tasks
      when shutdown=true is passed to iscsit_free_cmd().
      
      With the advent of >= v3.10 iscsi-target code using se_cmd->cmd_kref,
      the extra wait_for_tasks with shutdown=false is unnecessary, and may
      end up causing an extra context switch when releasing WRITEs.

      target: Fall back to vzalloc upon ->sess_cmd_map kzalloc failure · 8c7f6e9b
      Nicholas Bellinger authored
      
      
      This patch changes transport_alloc_session_tags() to fall back to
      use vzalloc when kzalloc fails for big tag_num that end up generating
      larger order allocations.
      
      Also use is_vmalloc_addr() in transport_alloc_session_tags() failure
      path, and normal transport_free_session() path to determine when
      vfree() needs to be called instead of kfree().
      
      v2 changes:
        - Use  __GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_REPEAT for sess_cmd_map kzalloc (mst)

      This patch fixes a bug where ib_destroy_cm_id() was incorrectly being called
      after srpt_destroy_ch_ib() had destroyed the active QP.

      .
      
      Markus Trippelsdorf reported that this commit broke 'perf top':
      
       > I just see a gray screen with no text at all. Sometimes the

      While this code is fixable, the commit itself fails on several levels:
      
       - it should have been a separate helper function
       - why the heck does it do strchr() twice
       - it casts a const char * over into char *
       - sloppy style
       - it's not even a regression fix!
      
      So lets revert it and re-try the patch in v3.13.

       "These fix one recent cpufreq regression, a few older bugs that may
        harm users and a kerneldoc typo.
      
        Specifics:
      
         1) After the recent locking changes in the cpufreq core it is
            possible to trigger BUG_ON(!policy) in lock_policy_rwsem_read() if
            cpufreq_get() is called before registering a cpufreq driver.  Fix
            from Viresh Kumar.
      
         2) If intel_pstate has been loaded already, it doesn't make sense to
            do anything in acpi_cpufreq_init() and moreover doing something in
            there in that case may be harmful, so make that function return
            immediately if another cpufreq driver is already present.  From
            Yinghai Lu.
      
         3) The ACPI IPMI driver sometimes attempts to acquire a mutex from
            interrupt context, which can be avoided by replacing that mutex
            with a spinlock.  From Lv Zheng.
      
         4) A NULL pointer may be dereferenced by the exynos5440 cpufreq
            driver if a memory allocation made by it fails.  Fix from Sachin
            Kamat.
      
         5) Hanjun Guo's commit fixes a typo in the kerneldoc comment
            documenting acpi_bus_unregister_driver()"

      PCI: Workaround missing pci_set_master in pci drivers · f41f064c
      Yinghai Lu authored
      Ben Herrenschmidt found that commit 928bea96
      
       ("PCI: Delay enabling
      bridges until they're needed") breaks PCI in some powerpc environments.
      
      The reason is that the PCIe port driver will call pci_enable_device() on
      the bridge, so the device is enabled, but skips pci_set_master because
      pcie_port_auto and no acpi on powerpc.
      
      Because of that, pci_enable_bridge() later on (called as a result of the
      child device driver doing pci_enable_device) will see the bridge as
      already enabled and will not call pci_set_master() on it.
      
      Fixed by add checking in pci_enable_bridge, and call pci_set_master
      if driver skip that.
      
      That will make the code more robot and wade off problem for missing
      pci_set_master in drivers.

      Pull s390 lockref enablement from Heiko Carstens:
       "Enabling the new lockless lockref variant on s390 would have been
        trivial until Tony Luck added a cpu_relax() call into the
        CMPXCHG_LOOP(), with commit d472d9d9 ("lockref: Relax in cmpxchg
        loop")
      
        As already mentioned cpu_relax() is very expensive on s390 since it
        yields() the current virtual cpu.  So we are talking of several
        thousand cycles.  Considering this enabling the lockless lockref
        variant would contradict the intention of the new semantics.  And also
        some quick measurements show performance regressions of 50% and more.
      
        Simply removing the cpu_relax() call again seems also not very
        desireable since Waiman Long reported that for some workloads the call
        improved performance by 5%."
