mm: compaction: prevent kswapd compacting memory to reduce CPU usage 2011-03-27T18:35:45+00:00 Andrea Arcangeli aarcange@redhat.com 2011-03-22T23:30:38+00:00 1a0a10e49acd5526dda6c49021dc55011ec9578b commit d527caf22e48480b102c7c6ee5b9ba12170148f7 upstream. This patch reverts 5a03b051 ("thp: use compaction in kswapd for GFP_ATOMIC order > 0") due to reports stating that kswapd CPU usage was higher and IRQs were being disabled more frequently. This was reported at http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09885.html. Without this patch applied, CPU usage by kswapd hovers around the 20% mark according to the tester (Arthur Marsh: http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09899.html). With this patch applied, it's around 2%. The problem is not related to THP which specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD but is triggered by high-order allocations hitting the low watermark for their order and waking kswapd on kernels with CONFIG_COMPACTION set. The most common trigger for this is network cards configured for jumbo frames but it's also possible it'll be triggered by fork-heavy workloads (order-1) and some wireless cards which depend on order-1 allocations. The symptoms for the user will be high CPU usage by kswapd in low-memory situations which could be confused with another writeback problem. While a patch like 5a03b051 may be reintroduced in the future, this patch plays it safe for now and reverts it.

USB: move usbcore away from hcd->state 2011-03-23T20:03:51+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2011-03-07T16:11:52+00:00 ca81d7760eb900e6f42b60e52b8a3efc88780e37 commit 9b37596a2e860404503a3f2a6513db60c296bfdc upstream. The hcd->state variable is a disaster. It's not clearly owned by either usbcore or the host controller drivers, and they both change it from time to time, potentially stepping on each other's toes. It's not protected by any locks. And there's no mechanism to prevent it from going through an invalid transition. This patch (as1451) takes a first step toward fixing these problems. As it turns out, usbcore uses hcd->state for essentially only two things: checking whether the controller's root hub is running and checking whether the controller has died. Therefore the patch adds two new atomic bitflags to the hcd structure, to store these pieces of information. The new flags are used only by usbcore, and a private spinlock prevents invalid combinations (a dead controller's root hub cannot be running). The patch does not change the places where usbcore sets hcd->state, since HCDs may depend on them. Furthermore, there is one place in usb_hcd_irq() where usbcore still must use hcd->state: An HCD's interrupt handler can implicitly indicate that the controller died by setting hcd->state to HC_STATE_HALT. Nevertheless, the new code is a big improvement over the current code. The patch makes one other change. The hcd_bus_suspend() and hcd_bus_resume() routines now check first whether the host controller has died; if it has then they return immediately without calling the HCD's bus_suspend or bus_resume methods. This fixes the major problem reported in Bugzilla #29902: The system fails to suspend after a host controller dies during system resume.

USB: serial drivers need to use larger bulk-in buffers 2011-03-23T20:03:46+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2011-02-23T20:28:18+00:00 366a91fbe3eeaf11c7bc380e854c7096bcb976dd commit 969e3033ae7733a0af8f7742ca74cd16c0857e71 upstream. When a driver doesn't know how much data a device is going to send, the buffer size should be at least as big as the endpoint's maxpacket value. The serial drivers don't follow this rule; many of them request only 256-byte bulk-in buffers. As a result, they suffer overflow errors if a high-speed device wants to send a lot of data, because high-speed bulk endpoints are required to have a maxpacket size of 512. This patch (as1450) fixes the problem by using the driver's bulk_in_size value as a minimum, always allocating buffers no smaller than the endpoint's maxpacket size.

ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplug 2011-03-23T20:03:32+00:00 Steven Rostedt srostedt@redhat.com 2011-02-11T02:26:13+00:00 1883e22e58194ef67349ff23333defebaaafa530 commit 868baf07b1a259f5f3803c1dc2777b6c358f83cf upstream. When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks. All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new tasks. On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that existed when the cpu went down. ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even though one already existed for it. The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle(). Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task, which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task.
