The paragraph on mcelog currently describes kernel v2.6.31. In that
kernel the mce code (for i386, that is) was in transition. Ever since
v2.6.32 the situation is much simpler (eg, mcelog is now needed to
process events on almost all x86 machines, i386 and x86-64). Since this
"document is designed to provide a list of the minimum levels of
software necessary to run the 3.0 kernels" let's just describe that
situation.

Looking closer, the active PMC is 0 at this point and we took a PMU

have an issue where they edge detect and not level detect PMC overflows.
A number of places program the PMC with (0x80000000 - period_left),
where period_left can be negative. We can either fix all of these or
just ensure that period_left is always >= 1.
This patch takes the second option.

On POWER8 when switching to a KVM guest we set bits in MMCR2 to freeze
the PMU counters. Aside from on boot they are then never reset,
resulting in stuck perf counters for any user in the guest or host.
We now set MMCR2 to 0 whenever enabling the PMU, which provides a sane
state for perf to use the PMU counters under either the guest or the
host.
This was manifesting as a bug with ppc64_cpu --frequency:
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --frequency
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 0
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 8
...
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 144
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 152
min: 18446744073.710 GHz (cpu -1)
max: 0.000 GHz (cpu -1)
avg: 0.000 GHz
The command uses a perf counter to measure CPU cycles over a fixed
amount of time, in order to approximate the frequency of the machine.
The counters were returning zero once a guest was started, regardless of
weather it was still running or had been shut down.
By dumping the value of MMCR2, it was observed that once a guest is
running MMCR2 is set to 1s - which stops counters from running:
$ sudo sh -c 'echo p > /proc/sysrq-trigger'
CPU: 0 PMU registers, ppmu = POWER8 n_counters = 6

This is done unconditionally in book3s_hv_interrupts.S upon entering the
guest, and the original value is only save/restored if the host has
indicated it was using the PMU. This is okay, however the user of the
PMU needs to ensure that it is in a defined state when it starts using
it.

These two registers are already saved in the block above. Aside from
being unnecessary, by the time we get down to the second save location
r8 no longer contains MMCR2, so we are clobbering the saved value with
PMC5.
MMCR2 primarily consists of counter freeze bits. So restoring the value
of PMC5 into MMCR2 will most likely have the effect of freezing
counters.

Commit 8d6f7c5a: "powerpc/powernv: Make it possible to skip the IRQHAPPENED
check in power7_nap()" added code that prevents cpus from checking for
pending interrupts just before entering sleep state, which is wrong. These
interrupts are delivered during the soft irq disabled state of the cpu.
A cpu cannot enter any idle state with pending interrupts because they will
never be serviced until the next time the cpu is woken up by some other
interrupt. Its only then that the pending interrupts are replayed. This can result
in device timeouts or warnings about this cpu being stuck.
This patch fixes ths issue by ensuring that cpus check for pending interrupts
just before entering any idle state as long as they are not in the path of split
core operations.

Relying on static functions used just once to get inlined (and

With this not happening for vdso_addr() (observed with gcc 4.1.x), an

Commit e80991773 ("dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing")
modified multipath_busy() to return true if !pg_ready(). pg_ready()
checks the current state of the multipath device and may return false
even if a new IO is needed to change the state.
Bart Van Assche reported that he had multipath IO lockup when he was
performing cable pull tests. Analysis showed that the multipath
device had a single path group with both paths active, but that the
path group itself was not active. During the multipath device state
transitions 'queue_io' got set but nothing could clear it. Clearing
'queue_io' only happens in __choose_pgpath(), but it won't be called
if multipath_busy() returns true due to pg_ready() returning false
when 'queue_io' is set.
As such the !pg_ready() check in multipath_busy() is wrong because new
IO will not be sent to multipath target and the multipath state change
won't happen. That results in multipath IO lockup.
The intent of multipath_busy() is to avoid unnecessary cycles of
dequeue + request_fn + requeue if it is known that the multipath
device will requeue.
Such "busy" situations would be:
- path group is being activated
- there is no path and the multipath is setup to requeue if no path
Fix multipath_busy() to return "busy" early only for these specific
situations.

The commit 2c140a246d ("dm: allow remove to be deferred") introduced a
deferred removal feature for the device mapper. When this feature is
used (by passing a flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE to DM_DEV_REMOVE_CMD ioctl)
and the user tries to remove a device that is currently in use, the
device will be removed automatically in the future when the last user
closes it.
Device mapper used the system workqueue to perform deferred removals.
However, some targets (dm-raid1, dm-mpath, dm-stripe) flush work items
scheduled for the system workqueue from their destructor. If the
destructor itself is called from the system workqueue during deferred
removal, it introduces a possible deadlock - the workqueue tries to flush
itself.
Fix this possible deadlock by introducing a new workqueue for deferred
removals. We allocate just one workqueue for all dm targets. The
ability of dm targets to process IOs isn't dependent on deferred removal
of unused targets, so a deadlock due to shared workqueue isn't possible.
Also, cleanup local_init() to eliminate potential for returning success
on failure.

Fixes for regressions and black screens, cc: stable where applicapable
(the last minute rebase was to sprinkle missing stable tags). A bit more
than what I'd wish for, but excluding vlv and that the first 3 patches are
just quirks for 1 regression it looks much better.
There's still a "oops, lost dithering" issue on older platforms open. I'm
working on a fix for that now but didn't want to delay this pile.

If we don't check the current backing device status, balance_dirty_pages can
fall into infinite pausing routine.
This can be occurred when a lot of directories make a small number of dirty
dentry pages including files.

If an inode is renamed, it should be registered as file_lost_pino to conduct
checkpoint at f2fs_sync_file.
Otherwise, the inode cannot be recovered due to no dent_mark in the following
scenario.
Note that, this scenario is from xfstests/322.
1. create "a"
2. fsync "a"
3. rename "a" to "b"
4. fsync "b"
5. Sudden power-cut
After recovery is done, "b" should be seen.
However, the result shows "a", since the recovery procedure does not enter
recover_dentry due to no dent_mark.
The reason is like below.
- The nid of "a" is checkpointed during #2, f2fs_sync_file.
- The inode page for "b" produced by #3 is written without dent_mark by
sync_node_pages.
So, this patch fixes this bug by assinging file_lost_pino to the "a"'s inode.
If the pino is lost, f2fs_sync_file conducts checkpoint, and then recovers
the latest pino and its dentry information for further recovery.

If we fail in this path:
->init_inode_metadata
->make_empty_dir
->get_new_data_page
->grab_cache_page return -ENOMEM
We will bug on in error path of init_inode_metadata when call remove_inode_page
because i_block = 2 (one inode block will be released later & one dentry block).
We should release the dentry block in init_inode_metadata to avoid this BUG_ON,
and avoid leak of dentry block resource, because we never have second chance to
release that block in ->evict_inode as in upper error path we make this inode
'bad'.
