While these numbers will eventually catch up, there could be a skew in the channel usage, depending on the application's I/O parallelism and the server's speed of handling requests. With sufficient parallelism, this lag can artificially increase the queue depth, thereby impacting the performance negatively. This change will change the step 1 above to start the iteration from the last selected channel. This is to reduce the skew in channel usage even in the presence of this lag.

[REGRESSION] drm/amd/display: Radeon 840M/860M: bisected suspend crash

by ggo＠tuxedocomputers.com

Hi, I have discovered that two small form factor desktops with Ryzen AI 7 350 and Ryzen AI 5 340 crash when woken up from suspend. I can see how the LED on the USB mouse is switched on when I trigger a resume via keyboard button, but the display remains black. The kernel also no longer responds to Magic SysRq keys in this state. The problem affects all kernels after merge b50753547453 (v6.11.0). But this merge only adds PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_1AH_M60H_ROOT with commit 59c34008d (necessary to trigger this bug with Ryzen AI CPU). I cherry-picked this commit and continued searching. Which finally led me to commit f6098641d3e - drm/amd/display: fix s2idle entry for DCN3.5+ If I remove the code, which has changed somewhat in the meantime, then the suspend works without any problems. See the following patch.

[PATCH v9 1/4] serial: 8250: fix panic due to PSLVERR

by Yunhui Cui

When the PSLVERR_RESP_EN parameter is set to 1, the device generates an error response if an attempt is made to read an empty RBR (Receive Buffer Register) while the FIFO is enabled. In serial8250_do_startup(), calling serial_port_out(port, UART_LCR, UART_LCR_WLEN8) triggers dw8250_check_lcr(), which invokes dw8250_force_idle() and serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos(). The latter function enables the FIFO via serial_out(p, UART_FCR, p->fcr). Execution proceeds to the serial_port_in(port, UART_RX). This satisfies the PSLVERR trigger condition. When another CPU (e.g., using printk()) is accessing the UART (UART is busy), the current CPU fails the check (value & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) == (lcr & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) in dw8250_check_lcr(), causing it to enter dw8250_force_idle(). Put serial_port_out(port, UART_LCR, UART_LCR_WLEN8) under the port->lock to fix this issue.

Sasha, could we drop these please? They need more mileage before we send them to LTS.

This stabilizes the folio during refcount check and prevents incorrect large folio detection due to concurrent split/free. Use helper folio_expected_ref_count() + 1 to compare with folio_ref_count() instead of using is_refcount_suitable().
