Irq inversion and irq dependency bugs are only subtly
different. The diffenerence lies where the interrupt occurred.
For irq dependency:
irq_disable
lock(A)
lock(B)
unlock(B)
unlock(A)
irq_enable
lock(B)
unlock(B)
<interrupt>
lock(A)
The interrupt comes in after it has been established that lock A
can be held when taking an irq unsafe lock. Lockdep detects the
problem when taking lock A in interrupt context.
With the irq_inversion the irq happens before it is established
and lockdep detects the problem with the taking of lock B:
<interrupt>
lock(A)
irq_disable
lock(A)
lock(B)
unlock(B)
unlock(A)
irq_enable
lock(B)
unlock(B)
Since the problem with the locking logic for both of these issues
is in actuality the same, they both should report the same scenario.
This patch implements that and prints this:

Locking order inversion due to interrupts is a subtle problem.
When an irq lockiinversion discovered by lockdep it currently
reports something like:
[ INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ]
... and then prints out the locks that are involved, as back traces.
Judging by lkml feedback developers were routinely confused by what
a HARDIRQ->safe to unsafe issue is all about, and sometimes even
blew it off as a bug in lockdep.
It is not obvious when lockdep prints this message about a lock that
is never taken in interrupt context.
After explaining the problems that lockdep is reporting, I
decided to add a description of the problem in visual form. Now
the following is shown:
---
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(lockA);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&rq->lock);

The above is the case when the unsafe lock is taken while
holding a lock taken in irq context. But when a lock is taken
that also grabs a unsafe lock, the call chain is shown:

Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged
without user-space tool support to the functionality:
|
| The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
| user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
| and actually do the OFFCORE profiling
|
Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an
extension to perf's raw event syntax:
|
| Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional
| parameters. These can be appended after a ':'.
|
| For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem:
|
| perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1
|
| Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0
| that measures any access to DRAM on another socket.
|
But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not
be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get
access to useful hardware functionality.
The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via
generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific
CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some
model specific quirky hexa number.
We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events,
and it's all very extensible.
"Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various
parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems.
We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the
fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate
generalization category.
That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access
profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like:
perf record -e dram ./myapp
perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp
... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM
accesses.
These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that
have comparable PMU features.
( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more
sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around
similarly simple usecases. )
Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they
are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented
in this commit:
e994d7d23a: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere
But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events
to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented
for these hardware event features.
( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be
supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally
useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely
*not* such a category so generalization must be done first. )
Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended
to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above
e994d7d23a commit, not mentioned in the changelog.
As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable
the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released
kernel and becomes an ABI.
Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users
are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.

When tg3 was new, phy accesses through ioctl were allowable at any time.
Then, the driver started shutting down the phy when the device was
closed. Phy accesses would be allowed when the driver first attached to
the device, but then would be forbidden after the device had been up'd
and down'd. After that, management firmware made it illegal to access
the phy unless the driver "owned" the device. Now that most firmware
is being moved over to the APE, it is less clear when phy accesses are
safe.
While it is possible to attempt to identify these conditions and code
the driver to navigate through the pitfalls, it could be perplexing to
the admin why phy accesses work in some cases and not others. This
patch brings some uniformity to the problem by only allowing phy
accesses while the driver has control of the device.

The oldest tg3 devices had large rx producer ring BD caches. Back then,
it made sense to make the BD cache replenish threshold only a function
of the number of rx buffers posted by the driver. Since then, the BD
cache sizes have shrunk to 25% of their original size and, in some
cases, the ring sizes have quadrupled in size. Under such conditions,
static BD cache replenish thresholds no longer match the hardware
constraints.
This patch attempts to factor in the BD cache size into the bd cache
replenish strategy, taking the existing hardware bugs into account.

__blkdev_get() doesn't rescan partitions if disk->fops->open() fails,
which leads to ghost partition devices lingering after medimum removal
is known to both the kernel and userland. The behavior also creates a
subtle inconsistency where O_NONBLOCK open, which doesn't fail even if
there's no medium, clears the ghots partitions, which is exploited to
work around the problem from userland.
Fix it by updating __blkdev_get() to issue partition rescan after
-ENOMEDIA too.

cdrom_open() called check_disk_change() after the rest of open path
succeeded which leads to the following bizarre behavior.
* After media change, if the device opened without O_NONBLOCK,
open_for_data() naturally fails with -ENOMEDIA and
check_disk_change() is never called. The media is known to be gone
and the open failure makes it obvious to the userland but device
invalidation never happens.
* But if the device is opened with O_NONBLOCK, all the checks are
bypassed and cdrom_open() doesn't notice that the media is not there
and check_disk_change() is called and invalidation happens.
There's nothing to be gained by avoiding calling check_disk_change()
on open failure. Common cases end up calling check_disk_change()
anyway. All we get is inconsistent behavior.
Fix it by moving check_disk_change() invocation to the top of
cdrom_open() so that it always gets called regardless of how the rest
of open proceeds.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd and ide-cd
block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland
elevator: check for ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE in !elvpriv case too
check_events() implementations in both ide-gd and ide-cd are
inadequate for in-kernel event polling. Both generate media change
events continuously when certain conditions are met causing infinite
event loop between the driver and userland event handler.
As disk event now supports suppression of unlisted events, simply
de-listing DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from disk->events resolves the
problem. Internal handling around media revalidation will behave the
same while userland will fall back to userland event polling after
detecting the device doesn't support disk events.
