[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH v7] mmc: sdhci: Implement an SDHCI-specific bounce buffer

by Linus Walleij

The bounce buffer is gone from the MMC core, and now we found out that there are some (crippled) i.MX boards out there that have broken ADMA (cannot do scatter-gather), and also broken PIO so they must use SDMA. Closer examination shows a less significant slowdown also on SDMA-only capable Laptop hosts. SDMA sets down the number of segments to one, so that each segment gets turned into a singular request that ping-pongs to the block layer before the next request/segment is issued. Apparently it happens a lot that the block layer send requests that include a lot of physically discontigous segments. My guess is that this phenomenon is coming from the file system. These devices that cannot handle scatterlists in hardware can see major benefits from a DMA-contigous bounce buffer. This patch accumulates those fragmented scatterlists in a physically contigous bounce buffer so that we can issue bigger DMA data chunks to/from the card. When tested with thise PCI-integrated host (1217:8221) that only supports SDMA: 0b:00.0 SD Host controller: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ600FJ0/OZ900FJ0/OZ600FJS SD/MMC Card Reader Controller (rev 05) This patch gave ~1Mbyte/s improved throughput on large reads and writes when testing using iozone than without the patch. dmesg: sdhci-pci 0000:0b:00.0: SDHCI controller found [1217:8221] (rev 5) mmc0 bounce up to 128 segments into one, max segment size 65536 bytes mmc0: SDHCI controller on PCI [0000:0b:00.0] using DMA On the i.MX SDHCI controllers on the crippled i.MX 25 and i.MX 35 the patch restores the performance to what it was before we removed the bounce buffers, and then some: performance is better than ever because we now allocate a bounce buffer the size of the maximum single request the SDMA engine can handle. On the PCI laptop this is 256K, whereas with the old bounce buffer code it was 64K max.

Didn't see this because x86 PCI is DMA coherent... - Tested and greelighted on i.MX 25. - Also tested on the PCI version. ChangeLog v5->v6: - Again switch back to explicit sync of buffers. I want to get this solution to work because it gives more control and it's more elegant. - Update host->max_req_size as noted by Adrian, hopefully this fixes the i.MX. I was just lucky on my Intel laptop I guess: the block stack never requested anything bigger than 64KB and that was why it worked even if max_req_size was bigger than what would fit in the bounce buffer. - Copy the number of bytes in the mmc_data instead of the number of bytes in the bounce buffer. For RX this is blksize * blocks and for TX this is bytes_xfered. - Break out a sdhci_sdma_address() for getting the DMA address for either the raw sglist or the bounce buffer depending on configuration. - Add some explicit bounds check for the data so that we do not attempt to copy more than the bounce buffer size even if the block layer is erroneously configured. - Move allocation of bounce buffer out to its own function. - Use pr_[info|err] throughout so all debug prints from the driver come out in the same manner and style. - Use unsigned int for the bounce buffer size. - Re-tested with iozone: we still get the same nice performance improvements. - Request a text on i.MX (hi Benjamin) ChangeLog v4->v5: - Go back to dma_alloc_coherent() as this apparently works better. - Keep the other changes, cap for 64KB, fall back to single segments. - Requesting a test of this on i.MX. (Sorry Benjamin.) ChangeLog v3->v4: - Cap the bounce buffer to 64KB instead of the biggest segment as we experience diminishing returns with buffers > 64KB. - Instead of using dma_alloc_coherent(), use good old devm_kmalloc() and issue dma_sync_single_for*() to explicitly switch ownership between CPU and the device. This way we exercise the cache better and may consume less CPU. - Bail out with single segments if we cannot allocate a bounce buffer. - Tested on the PCI SDHCI on my laptop: requesting a new test on i.MX from Benjamin. (Please!) ChangeLog v2->v3: - Rewrite the commit message a bit - Add Benjamin's Tested-by - Add Fixes and stable tags ChangeLog v1->v2: - Skip the remapping and fiddling with the buffer, instead use dma_alloc_coherent() and use a simple, coherent bounce buffer. - Couple kernel messages to ->parent of the mmc_host as it relates to the hardware characteristics. --- drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c | 169 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.h | 3 + 2 files changed, 164 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c index e9290a3439d5..51d670b8104d 100644 --- a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c +++ b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ #include <linux/dma-mapping.h> #include <linux/slab.h> #include <linux/scatterlist.h> +#include <linux/sizes.h> #include <linux/swiotlb.h> #include <linux/regulator/consumer.h> #include <linux/pm_runtime.h> @@ -502,8 +503,35 @@ static int sdhci_pre_dma_transfer(struct sdhci_host *host, if (data->host_cookie == COOKIE_PRE_MAPPED) return data->sg_count;

[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_fs: Use config_ep_by_speed()

by Jack Pham

In commit 2bfa0719ac2a ("usb: gadget: function: f_fs: pass companion descriptor along") there is a pointer arithmetic bug where the comp_desc is obtained as follows: comp_desc = (struct usb_ss_ep_comp_descriptor *)(ds + USB_DT_ENDPOINT_SIZE); Since ds is a pointer to usb_endpoint_descriptor, adding 7 to it ends up going out of bounds (7 * sizeof(struct usb_endpoint_descriptor), which is actually 7*9 bytes) past the SS descriptor. As a result the maxburst value will be read incorrectly, and the UDC driver will also get a garbage comp_desc (assuming it uses it). Since Felipe wrote, "Eventually, f_fs.c should be converted to use config_ep_by_speed() like all other functions, though", let's finally do it. This allows the other usb_ep fields to be properly populated, such as maxpacket and mult. It also eliminates the awkward speed-based descriptor lookup since config_ep_by_speed() does that already using the ones found in struct usb_function.

Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and cleanups". Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins at 100% CPU usage. We have seen similar cases at Facebook. The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages. In Jia's and our scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the condition for backing off is never met. Kswapd busyloops in an attempt to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with. This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs. This is the same criteria the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the OOM killer. If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer. Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method. Patch #6 is the odd one out. It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(), and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series. If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups. This patch (of 9): Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system: $ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages top - 13:42:59 up 3:37, 1 user, load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01 Tasks: 1 total, 1 running, 0 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 0.0 us, 12.5 sy, 0.0 ni, 85.5 id, 2.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem: 31371520 total, 30915136 used, 456384 free, 320 buffers KiB Swap: 6284224 total, 115712 used, 6168512 free. 48192 cached Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 76 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 100.0 0.000 217:17.29 kswapd3 At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep. Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance. Up until commit 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") kswapd had such a mechanism. It considered zones whose theoretically reclaimable pages it had reclaimed six times over as unreclaimable and backed away from them. This guard was erroneously removed as the patch changed the definition of a balanced node. However, simply restoring this code wouldn't help in the case reported here: there *are* no reclaimable pages that could be scanned until the threshold is met. Kswapd would stay awake anyway. Introduce a new and much simpler way of backing off. If kswapd runs through MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) cycles without reclaiming a single page, make it back off from the node. This is the same number of shots direct reclaim takes before declaring OOM. Kswapd will go to sleep on that node until a direct reclaimer manages to reclaim some pages, thus proving the node reclaimable again.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [net-next 6/8] igb: Free IRQs when device is hotplugged

However, since the device is already gone by the point we try to unregister the netdevice from the driver due to a hotplug we end up seeing that the netif isn't present and thus, forget to free any of the device IRQs. So: make sure that if we're in the process of dismantling the netdev, we always allow __igb_close() to be called so that IRQs may be freed normally. Additionally, only allow igb_close() to be called from __igb_close() if it hasn't already been called for the given adapter.

Re: [Linux-stable-mirror] stable-rc build: 22454 warnings 1 failures (stable-rc/v4.1.49)

Hi Sasha, The build logs for linux-4.1 on ARM64 have become completely unreadable after Olof has updated his toolchain, with many thousand warnings like: > arm64.allmodconfig: > /tmp/cc1QjtsZ.s:2500: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100 > /tmp/cc1QjtsZ.s:2513: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .fini_array.00100 > /tmp/cc3sXmLs.s:77: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100 > /tmp/cc3sXmLs.s:90: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .fini_array.00100 > /tmp/cc3J6cMe.s:1401: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100 >/tmp/cc3J6cMe.s:1414: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .fini_array.00100 > /tmp/ccbjphUv.s:1775: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100 > /tmp/ccbjphUv.s:1788: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .fini_array.00100 > /tmp/ccVPrJUF.s:50: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100 Could you pick up commit cc622420798c ("gcov: disable for COMPILE_TEST") like Greg did for 3.18 and 4.4? Many configurations also produce drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c:100:2: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool] which got fixed upstream with cc7fce802290 ("mtd: blkdevs: fix switch-bool compilation warning") Once those two are backported, the log files like http://arm-soc.lixom.net/buildlogs/stable-rc/v4.1.49/ become much more useful. Thanks, Arnd
