o During some testing I did following and noticed throttling stops working.
- Put a very low limit on a cgroup, say 1 byte per second.
- Start some reads, this will set slice_end to a very high value.
- Change the limit to higher value say 1MB/s
- Now IO unthrottles and finishes as expected.
- Try to do the read again but IO is not limited to 1MB/s as expected.o What is happening.
- Initially low value of limit sets slice_end to a very high value.
- During updation of limit, slice_end is not being truncated.
- Very high value of slice_end leads to keeping the existing slice
valid for a very long time and new slice does not start.
- tg_may_dispatch() is called in blk_throtle_bio(), and trim_slice()
is not called in this path. So slice_start is some old value and
practically we are able to do huge amount of IO.o There are many ways it can be fixed. I have fixed it by trying to
adjust/cleanup slice_end in trim_slice(). Generally we extend slices if bio
is big and can't be dispatched in one slice. After dispatch of bio, readjust
the slice_end to make sure we don't end up with huge values.Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal

commit 9284bcf checks for proper length of iov entries in
blk_rq_map_user_iov(). But if the map is unaligned, kernel
will break out the loop without checking for the proper length.
So we need to check the proper length before the unalign check.Signed-off-by: Xiaotian Feng

In commit 9b7f76dc37919ea36caa9680a3f765e5b19b25fb,
Author: Lars Ellenberg
Date: Wed Aug 11 23:40:24 2010 +0200drbd: new configuration parameter c-min-rate
a bad chunk slipped through, which is now reverted as well,
restoring the correct irqsave for the endio callback.This patch also add comments at both req_mod()
and in the endio callback so it should not happen again.Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner

This should fix a performance degradation we observed recently.
If we don't expect any subheader, we should not call into the tcp stack,
as that may add considerable latency if there is no data available at
this point.For a synthetic synchronous write load with single outstanding writes,
this additional latency when processing the "unplug remote" packet
added up to a performance degradation factor >= 10.Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner

The qdio device indicator is freed before the device is notified that
the indicator is reset. This sequence contains a race when the freed
indicator is used by a new device while the reset of the indicator is
still pending. Do the reset operation before freeing the indicator to
avoid that potential race.Signed-off-by: Jan Glauber

On each machine check all registers are revalidated. The save area for
the clock comparator however only contains the upper most seven bytes
of the former contents, if valid.
Therefore the machine check handler uses a store clock instruction to
get the current time and writes that to the clock comparator register
which in turn will generate an immediate timer interrupt.
However within the lowcore the expected time of the next timer
interrupt is stored. If the interrupt happens before that time the
handler won't be called. In turn the clock comparator won't be
reprogrammed and therefore the interrupt condition stays pending which
causes an interrupt loop until the expected time is reached.On NOHZ machines this can result in unresponsive machines since the
time of the next expected interrupted can be a couple of days in the
future.To fix this just revalidate the clock comparator register with the
expected value.
In addition the special handling for udelay must be changed as well.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

Don't rewrite clock config in UCON preconfigured by
bootloader. No need to set 10th bit in UCON because
[11:10] 2'b00 means source clock is PCLK too.
If set, console does not work if bootloader
has preconfigured [11:10] with 2'b00.
If not set, console works with any bootloader
config value (2'bxx).

Currently one pagemap_read() call walks in PAGEMAP_WALK_SIZE bytes (== 512
pages.) But there is a corner case where walk_pmd_range() accidentally
runs over a VMA associated with a hugetlbfs file.For example, when a process has mappings to VMAs as shown below:
# cat /proc//maps
...
3a58f6d000-3a58f72000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
7fbd51853000-7fbd51855000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
7fbd5186c000-7fbd5186e000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
7fbd51a00000-7fbd51c00000 rw-s 00000000 00:12 8614 /hugepages/testthen pagemap_read() goes into walk_pmd_range() path and walks in the range
0x7fbd51853000-0x7fbd51a53000, but the hugetlbfs VMA should be handled by
walk_hugetlb_range(). Otherwise PMD for the hugepage is considered bad
and cleared, which causes undesirable results.This patch fixes it by separating pagemap walk range into one PMD.
