* V4L/DVB (13168): Add support for Asus Europa Hybrid DVB-T card (SAA7134 ↵Danny Wood2009-12-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SubVendor ID: 0x1043 Device ID: 0x4847) Adds the device IDs and driver linking to allow the Asus Europa DVB-T card to operate with these drivers. The device has a SAA7134 chipset with a TD1316 Hybrid Tuner. All inputs work on the card including switching between DVB-T and Analogue TV, there is also no IR with this card.

* V4L/DVB (13164): DocBook/dvb: Starts documenting DVBS2API ioctlsMauro Carvalho Chehab2009-12-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | DVBS2API introduced two new ioctls that allows changing/getting details about newer video standards like DVB-S2 and ISDB-T. There are lots of thing to do in this chapter, but, for now, just add a session there, in order to allow make to not complain about undefined symbol. With this patch, all ioctls at the frontend.h API were somehow documented. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
* V4L/DVB (13163): Docbook/dvb: Rename isdbt.xml to dvbproperty.xmlMauro Carvalho Chehab2009-12-053-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | We'll need to add the documentation for FE_[GET|SET]_PROPERTY that is not specific to isdb-t. Instead of doing it at frontend.xml, it is better to have a separate session for it. Also, isdbt.xml assumes that those ioctls were already introduced, and documents several exisiting properties. So, better to just rename it and add the documentation for it, together with each existing property there. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | Seems that the reference design used for the KWorld 2800d switched from the em2860 to em2862, so we need to add the new USB id (and the i2c hash remains so all we need is the default em2862 id.

The probability is that all the slow-work threads are hogged, and the delete can't get a look in. What we do instead is: (1) if there's nothing in the slow work queue, we sleep until either the dying object has finished dying or there is something in the slow work queue behind which we can queue our object. (2) if there is something in the slow work queue, we return ETIMEDOUT to fscache_lookup_object(), which then puts us back on the slow work queue, presumably behind the deletion that we're blocked by. We are then deferred for a while until we work our way back through the queue - without blocking a slow-work thread unnecessarily. A backtrace similar to the following may appear in the log without this patch: INFO: task kslowd004:5711 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Furthermore, make sure that read and allocation operations handle being woken up on a dead object. Such events are recorded in the Allocs.abt and Retrvls.abt statistics as viewable through /proc/fs/fscache/stats.

(2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform (cachefiles_write_page()). (3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs page. (4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it can copy the data from the netfs page. (5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard (try_to_free_pages()). (6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the one it's trying to write out). (7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()). (8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself. The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the cache without allocating more memory. To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of actually being performed. This means that some data won't make it into the cache this time. To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage() functions used to do with respect to the cache. The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan". There are four counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" - pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage of. What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages. If there are plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.

Each has a pointer that points to the other (when both are in existence), and each has a spinlock for pointer maintenance. Since netfs operations approach these structures from the cookie side, they get the cookie lock first, then the object lock. Cache operations, on the other hand, approach from the object side, and get the object lock first. It is not then permitted for a cache operation to get the cookie lock whilst it is holding the object lock lest deadlock occur; instead, it must do one of two things: (1) increment the cookie usage counter, drop the object lock and then get both locks in order, or (2) simply hold the object lock as certain parts of the cookie may not be altered whilst the object lock is held. It is also not permitted to follow either pointer without holding the lock at the end you start with. To break the pointers between the cookie and the object, both locks must be held. fscache_write_op(), however, violates the locking rules: It attempts to get the cookie lock without (a) checking that the cookie pointer is a valid pointer, and (b) holding the object lock to protect the cookie pointer whilst it follows it. This is so that it can access the pending page store tree without interference from __fscache_write_page(). This is fixed by splitting the cookie lock, such that the page store tracking tree is protected by its own lock, and checking that the cookie pointer is non-NULL before we attempt to follow it whilst holding the object lock. The new lock is subordinate to both the cookie lock and the object lock, and so should be taken after those. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Typically this wait occurs whilst the cache object is being looked up on disk in the background. If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache. This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

| * | | | | | | | SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread is neededDavid Howells2009-11-191-0/+44

Sometimes a work item can't progress immediately, but must wait for the completion of another work item that's currently being processed by another slow-work thread. In some circumstances, the waiting item could instead - theoretically - put itself back on the queue and yield its thread back to the slow-work facility, thus waiting till it gets processing time again before attempting to progress. This would allow other work items processing time on that thread. However, this only works if there is something on the queue for it to queue behind - otherwise it will just get a thread again immediately, and will end up cycling between the queue and the thread, eating up valuable CPU time. So, slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed() is provided such that an item can put itself on a wait queue that will wake it up when the event it is actually interested in occurs, then call this function in lieu of calling schedule(). This function will then sleep until either the item's event occurs or another work item appears on the queue. If another work item is queued, but the item's event hasn't occurred, then the work item should requeue itself and yield the thread back to the slow-work facility by returning. This can be used by CacheFiles for an object that is being created on one thread to wait for an object being deleted on another thread where there is nothing on the queue for the creation to go and wait behind. As soon as an item appears on the queue that could be given thread time instead, CacheFiles can stick the creating object back on the queue and return to the slow-work facility - assuming the object deletion didn't also complete.

The work item is counted as being queued if it is actually on the queue, not just if it is pending. If it is executing and pending, then it is not on the queue, but will rather be put back on the queue when execution finishes. This permits a caller to quickly work out if it may be able to put another, dependent work item on the queue behind it, or whether it will have to wait till that is finished. This can be used by CacheFiles to work out whether the creation a new object can be immediately deferred when it has to wait for an old object to be deleted, or whether a wait must take place. If a wait is necessary, then the slow-work thread can otherwise get blocked, preventing the deletion from taking place. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
