Subject: Linux 2.6.14


Ok, it's finally there.

2.6.14 was delayed twice due to some last-minute bug-reports, some of
which ended up being false alarms (hey, I should be happy, but it was a
bit frustrating)

But hey, the delays - even when perhaps unnecessary - got us to look at
the code and fix some other bugs instead. So it's all good.

So special thanks go to Oleg Nesterov and Roland McGrath for doing some
code inspection and fixing and just making the otherwise frustrating wait
for bug resolution more productive ;^p.

Let's try the 2-week merge window thing again, I think it worked pretty
well despite the delays, and hopefully it will work even better this time
around.

The actual changes from 2.6.14-rc5 are a number of mostly one-liners, with
the ShortLog appended (full log from 2.6.13 on the normal sites together
with the release itself). The only slightly bigger ones (ie more than a
handful of lines) is a kernel parameter doc update, and the PIIX4 PCI
quirk printouts, and the cleanups/fixes for the posix cpu timers.

(In fact, according to diffstat, about half the diff is that one
documentation update, and most of that is whitespace cleanups)

Well, Andi's patch here wasn't just a small optimization as the changelog
suggests. It helped EM64T boxes a great deal. Just to make sure, I
reran 2.6.14 with the attached patch and got about 45% better performance
with iozone Initial write. This was on a 2 cpu 4 thread SMP Xeon with 8G ram,
with 2 processes performing io to 4G files on a IDE drive.
Maybe it wouldn't have caused breakage on some AMD boxes if the following
additional check for swiotlb was added. Can this go into 2.6.15 please?

Thanks,
Kiran

First to be honest swiotlb performance is not very high on the priority list.
It will always be bad. If you care about performance you should use devices
that can address all your memory.

EM64T server boxes shouldn't have big problems with that because they usually
support AHCI for IDE, and firewire/usb2/sound is not that critical. And the
EM64T boxes with other chipsets typically don't support >4G phys because they
only support the lowerend Intel CPUs. Summit might be an exception, but those
normally only use IDE for CDROMs, which are also not a big issue.

Not in this form no. Problem first needs to be understood fully and
then no_iommu should be set properly.

the kernel with the 'usb-handoff' (and without the patch) solved the problem.
As it turns out, it actually solves the problem only for the reboot case.
My machine still hangs on an initial boot with and without 'usb-handoff'.

I realise swiotlb will have bad performance. But with the revert, swiotlb
is not going to be used at all!!. PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is used by the block
subsystem to check if any kind of iommu (soft or hard) is available. If none
is present, block layer uses the ISA pool for bounce buffering bringing down
performance.

But you have to use SATA disks to use AHCI right?. IDE disks will work with
32bit dma addresses only (please correct me if I am wrong). And I belive
there are 1U racks/blades out there with IDE disks on these server boards with
more than 4G memory (I am told it saves them $$ to use IDE disks over SATA
when you deploy large numbers).
Whatever the reasons might be, IMHO, it is not correct to assume no one is
going to use 32 bit capable only devices on 64bit boxes. swiotlb code need
not have been in the kernel otherwise. This one line revert is just force
turning off swiotlb on x86_64 boxes with no option whatsover :(

I agree it is ugly. But it atleast shows and does what the comment says.
Is reverting a bug-fix to mask another bug (probably due to a broken bios or
user not setting the IOMMU in the bios) any cleaner? Yes it doesn't show
though ;)

Seriously, are there plans to fix the broken AMD boxes for 2.6.15? Will
swiotlb be forced off even for 2.6.15? Linus, Andrew?

Thanks,
Kiran

I don't believe the problem is the AMD boxes here.

Anyways, with the dma_ops patch we can probably separate it cleanly
and avoid the problem.

Hi Andi, Kiran, would something like:

#define PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS (mapping_ops->bus_is_phys)

do the job, where mapping_ops->bus_is_phys is set to 0 for gart and
swiotlb, and 1 for nommu?

Cheers,
Muli

I have added this small fix to my 2.6.14.2 build. A quick question.

What does GCC do here - does it just drop and ignore the unused variable?

Let is be noted that this warning was fixed in a completely different
way in Linus' tree already. My patch is not meant for -stable either,
as it doesn't fix any real problem.

> What does GCC do here - does it just drop and ignore the unused variable?

Without optimizations, gcc 3.3.6 keeps the variable although it won't
ever be used. With -O1 and above (including -Os) it drops the unused
variable.

I see (or didn't). Isn't it hard to keep up with all this. Kernel developers
are unstoppable... how Linus/Andrew/Alan/all_the_rest keep on top of it all I
don't know - wonderful stuff.

Thanks! I didn't know that at all.

Probably just killing the 'as' printk is a lot better for -stable.
