After recieving some feedback from Christoph Hellwig I believe this is
probably a better version of the patch (no reason not to use the
access_ok checking version of copy_to_user) :

Except that we've validated the user pointer _before_ performing any
of the ioctl handling itself, so the non-__ copy_to_user is fairly
redundant.

Oops. I forgot the scheduling path indeed. Here's a new patch,
replacing the old. Sorry for the trouble.

Here is a more likely correct patch for what that was trying to do,
however misguided that may be. Untested, uncompiled, vs. 2.6.9-rc3-mm3
without the bad patch:

Expose some variables from kernel/profile.c to the world to short-
circuit some checks in some inline wrappers for the purportedly
``heavier'' profiling functions. I took the liberty of declaring
some variables extern in the bodies of the inlines, which is rare
in the kernel, but protects against the use of the now-exposed
variables by things that shouldn't touch them.

Hmm, seems the additional 1040 support in qla1280.c is causing name
clashes with the firmware image in qlogicfc_asm.c. Try out the attached
patch (not tested) which provides the 1040 firmware image unique
variable names.

Looks like there would be some name clashes in qlogicfc and qlogicisp.

Is there any reason for these firmware image pointers not to be static?
At least for these drivers which are single files.

That certainly seems like a reasonable option for qlogicfc and
qlogicisp. Attached is a small patch which will limit the scope of
qlogicfc_asm variables.

We could also strip out the !UNIQUE_FW_NAME stuff out of the qla1280.c
driver. Firmware updates to those ISPs will likely _not_ happen, so we
don't need to worry about adding the static modifier at each churn as we
would with the qla2xxx driver. I'll forward along a patch in a later
email.

>From the qla2xxx side, I could also add a '-DUNIQUE_FW_NAME' to the
unifdef script I run before sending updates upstream -- something I
recall Christoph wanting earlier.

Here's a second patch for the removal of UNIQUE_FW_NAME in qla1280.c and
its firmware files.

I wasn't aware that there was any problem with Kirill's patch. And I
couldn't work out how to get your patches to apply so I left things as they
are.

Please send a fresh patch against Linus's current tree. Please include
with that a concise description of the problem and the solution.

Thanks.

This conflicts with kernel/irq/proc.c:

unsigned long prof_cpu_mask = -1;

Shouldn't this be:

cpumask_t prof_cpu_mask = CPU_MASK_NONE;

This will show problems when NR_CPUS > sizeof(long)....

Hope this helps.

Patch by Con Kolivas. It allows to use 1Gb without highmem. The magic number
of 1Gb is so common that I think it useful...

This should not be needed anymore, as I've fixed up the
pci_register_driver() call to be sane. If you are having problems,
please let me know about it.

Thanks, that made it work again !!

Total set of patches to boot:
- your latest fix
- revert optimize profile + Andi's patch
- uhci fix (still needed ?)
- e100 fix (only thing I have seen at the moment...)
- 1Gb lowmem

How about including the last one in -mm, for testing ? I use it in a server
and in my home workstation and it works fine (even with nvidia drivers ;) ).

Everything attached (they are really small...)

It prevents a warning caused by calling
enable_irq() when the interrupt enable depth is already 0.
The maintainer added this call as part of a patch
that was meant to fix an unclaimed interrupt
during hardware initialization. He is
reworking the patch to do the correct thing.

You decided to keep the warning (and not apply
the e100 patch referenced in this thread) as an
indicator that a real fix is pending.

Yes, there seems to be a mingo/wli bunfight over prof_cpu_mask.

Duplicate code ?
the profile.c is in -rc3, and -mm3 adds the one in irq/proc.c.

Would have been nice if you had tried my replacement since you went so
far as to cc: me on its post, the primary reason being I expect it to
have an actual observable effect toward the end the patches are supposed
to have, though if whoever wants it insists, they can do it their own
way; I merely expect the internal function call bits to be ineffective.

It violates the ELF standard, which breaks some apps (notably Valgrind). I
don't think it's appropriate for -mm. People that really need it can patch
themselves.

Thanks.

Have you been doing any performance measurements on the thrash-control
code?

I went back to my original notes from when the patch was first being tested and
I had:

mem=256m, without, ./qsbench -p 4 -m 96

./qsbench -p 4 -m 96 27.50s user 3.92s system 9% cpu 5:34.26 total
./qsbench -p 4 -m 96 27.77s user 4.19s system 9% cpu 5:41.38 total
./qsbench -p 4 -m 96 27.22s user 4.17s system 9% cpu 5:16.75 total

with:

./qsbench -p 4 -m 96 27.40s user 2.08s system 35% cpu 1:23.67 total
./qsbench -p 4 -m 96 27.70s user 2.14s system 30% cpu 1:38.92 total
./qsbench -p 4 -m 96 27.03s user 1.79s system 39% cpu 1:13.16 total


But now I am unable to get anything remotely near the 1-2 minute runtimes
with this workload on current kernels. Which means that either we broke it
again or I originally mismeasured it somehow.

I'm wondering if you've been able to notice any performance improvements
from the thrashing control and if so, how much and on what workload?

I was just thinking the same thing - 2 weeks after everybody else ;-)

You won't see me complaining about a patch doing this for the qla1280
driver.
