It seems like the addition of QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT caueses major performance
regressions for Fedora users:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509383https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505695
while I can't reproduce those extreme regressions myself I think the flag
is wrong.
Rationale:
QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT expands to QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT which casus the queue
unplugged immediately. This is not a good behaviour for at least
qemu and kvm where we do have significant overhead for every
I/O operations. Even with all the latested speeups (native AIO,
MSI support, zero copy) we can only get native speed for up to 128kb
I/O requests we already are down to 66% of native performance for 4kb
requests even on my laptop running the Intel X25-M SSD for which the
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT was designed.
If we ever get virtio-blk overhead low enough that this flag makes
sense it should only be set based on a feature flag set by the host.

When configuring a LUN for use in zfcp, flush the SCSI work to ensure
the SCSI device has been created before returning. This means that a
configuration procedure can run these commands in a script and the
SCSI device is available immediately after the unit_add:

After opening a remote port zfcp checks if the WWPN returned in the
PLOGI maches the WWPN of the port that should have been opened. On a
mismatch zfcp assumes that the DID just changed, queries the FC
nameserver and tries again. If the situation persists the erp will
give up.
With this strategy, if the remote port always returns the wrong PLOGI
data, the remote port will not be opened. Introduce a warning, so that
the system administrator knows why the remote port is not being opened
and to have a pointer to investigate the problem on the storage
system.

For ports, zfcp gets the DID from the FC nameserver and tries to open
the port. If the open succeeds, zfcp compares the WWPN from the
nameserver with the WWPN in the PLOGI payload. In case of a mismatch,
zfcp assumes that the DID of the port just changed and we opened the
wrong port. This means that zfcp has to forget the DID, lookup the DID
again and retry.
This error case had a problem that zfcp forgets the DID, but never
looks up a new one, stalling the ERP in this case. Fix this by
triggering the DID lookup and properly exit from the ERP. The DID
lookup will trigger a new ERP action.
Also ensure when trying to open the port again with the new DID, first
close the open port, even in the NOESC case.

This patch fixes a null pointer exception in pipe_rdwr_open() which
generates the stack trace:
> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 RIP:
> [<ffffffff802899a5>] pipe_rdwr_open+0x35/0x70

> [<ffffffff802814aa>] do_sys_open+0x5a/0x100
> [<ffffffff8021faf3>] sysenter_do_call+0x1b/0x67
The failure mode is triggered by an attempt to open an anonymous
pipe via /proc/pid/fd/* as exemplified by this script:
=============================================================
while : ; do
{ echo y ; sleep 1 ; } | { while read ; do echo z$REPLY; done ; } &
PID=$!
OUT=$(ps -efl | grep 'sleep 1' | grep -v grep |
{ read PID REST ; echo $PID; } )
OUT="${OUT%% *}"
DELAY=$((RANDOM * 1000 / 32768))
usleep $((DELAY * 1000 + RANDOM % 1000 ))
echo n > /proc/$OUT/fd/1 # Trigger defect
done
=============================================================
Note that the failure window is quite small and I could only
reliably reproduce the defect by inserting a small delay
in pipe_rdwr_open(). For example:
static int
pipe_rdwr_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
{
msleep(100);
mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex);
Although the defect was observed in pipe_rdwr_open(), I think it
makes sense to replicate the change through all the pipe_*_open()
functions.
The core of the change is to verify that inode->i_pipe has not
been released before attempting to manipulate it. If inode->i_pipe
is no longer present, return ENOENT to indicate so.
The comment about potentially using atomic_t for i_pipe->readers
and i_pipe->writers has also been removed because it is no longer
relevant in this context. The inode->i_mutex lock must be used so
that inode->i_pipe can be dealt with correctly.

The second argument in the strtok_r() function is not to be used
generically and can have different implementations. Currently
the function parsing of the perf trace code uses the second
argument to copy data from. This can crash the tool or just have

The correct solution is to use strsep() which has a defined

I also added a check to see if the result was correct, and will
break out of the loop in case it fails to parse as expected.

The raid6 recovery code currently requires special handling of the
4-disk and 5-disk recovery scenarios for the native layout. Quoting
from commit 0a82a623:
In these situations the default N-disk algorithm will present
0-source or 1-source operations to dma devices. To cover for
dma devices where the minimum source count is 2 we implement
4-disk and 5-disk handling in the recovery code.
The ddf layout presents disks=6 and disks=7 to the recovery code in
these situations. Instead of looking at the number of disks count the
number of non-zero sources in the list and call the special case code
when the number of non-failed sources is 0 or 1.

We need this because we get section relative addresses when
reading the symtabs, but when a tool like 'perf annotate' needs
to match these address to what 'objdump -dS' produces we need
the address + section back again.
So in annotate now we look at the 'struct hist_entry' instances
(that weren't really being used) so that we iterate only over
the symbols that had some hit and get the map where that
particular hit happened so that we can get the right address to
match with annotate.
Verified that at least:
perf annotate mmap_read_counter # Uses the ~/bin/perf binary
perf annotate --vmlinux /home/acme/git/build/perf/vmlinux intel_pmu_enable_all
