* [PATCH v2] usb: fsl_udc: errata - postpone freeing current dTD

In-Reply-To: <1337583221.3394.21.camel@mars>

USB controller may access a wrong address for the dTD (endpoint transfer
descriptor) and then hang. This happens a lot when doing tests with
g_ether module and iperf, a tool for measuring maximum TCP and UDP
bandwidth.

This hardware bug is explained in detail by errata number 2858 for i.MX23:
http://cache.freescale.com/files/dsp/doc/errata/IMX23CE.pdf

All (?) SOCs with an IP from chipidea suffer from this problem.
mv_udc_core fixes this bug by commit daec765.  There still may be
unfixed drivers.

I don't want to see global variables anymore. In fact, please convert
this to the new udc_start()/udc_stop() calls and use the generic
map/unmap routines.

That'll help you get rid of a bunch of useless code on the driver. After
that you should remove all <asm/*> header includes and drop the ARCH
dependency.

You can also drop the big-/little-endian helpers as you can make use of
generic writel()/readl() routines.

Please make sure these series comes in with enough time to reach v3.6
merge window in about 3 months.

You can put this fix together on that series after you drop the global.

I may be completely wrong, but I guess the obvious target would be the

Anyone have any ideas?

  To: linuxppc-dev; +Cc: Linux Kernel list

Folks, bad news ... my fault.

I accidentally forgot a --signoff on a git am command last week, meaning
that a pair of patches are in -next and not signed off by me.

For various (legal) reasons that cannot go into Linus tree as-is, so I
have to rebase the tree to fix it.

Sorry about that ...

Cheers,
Ben.

Yeah, it's sched/numa since that's what introduced numa_init().  It does 
for_each_node() for each node and does a kmalloc_node() even though that 
node may not be online.  Slub ends up passing this node to the page 
allocator through alloc_pages_exact_node().  CONFIG_DEBUG_VM would have 
caught this and your config confirms its not enabled.

sched/numa either needs a memory hotplug notifier or it needs to pass 
NUMA_NO_NODE for nodes that aren't online.  Until we get the former, the 
following should fix it.


sched, numa: Allocate node_queue on any node for offline nodes

struct node_queue must be allocated with NUMA_NO_NODE for nodes that are 
not (yet) online, otherwise the page allocator has a bad zonelist.

r26 is coming from r5 which is the struct zonelist *zonelist parameter
to __alloc_pages_nodemask.  Having 0000000000001380 in there is clearly
a bogus pointer.

Bisecting it points to b4cdf91668c27a5a6a5a3ed4234756c042dd8288

Trying David's patch just posted doesn't fix it.

Hmm, what does CONFIG_DEBUG_VM say?

I mean if it's set, what does it emit to the kernel log with my patch 
applied?

I made CONFIG_DEBUG_VM catch !node_online(node) about six months ago, so I 
was thinking it would have caught this if either you or Stephen enable it.

Yeah, this is what I was expecting, it's tripping on

	VM_BUG_ON(nid < 0 || nid >= MAX_NUMNODES || !node_online(nid));

and slub won't pass nid < 0.  You're sure my patch is applied? :)

I did have your patch applied but at "b4cdf91 sched/numa: Implement numa
balancer" (where git bisect spotted the fail).  

If I apply your patch on the full next-20120521 it does fix the problem.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks!

And I will put that patch in linux-next until it (or something better)

Note that the rebase only affects the top 3 commits, so if your
tree is based on something older you're fine (Kumar, you seem to
be ok, I haven't checked Josh).

Add FCB to hard_header_len will make GRO fail at MAC comparision stage.

Should be fine.  Even if not, all 4 of its users will manage to cope.

* Handling spin table in kdump
From: Suzuki K. Poulose @ 2012-05-22 12:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: kexec, linuxppc-dev; +Cc: Matthew McClintock, Sebastian Andrzej Siewior

Hi

I came across the following issue while testing Kdump on an SMP 
board(Currituck) running a non-SMP kernel. Even though the kernel is UP,
the device-tree has the nodes for second CPU and the related details.


The kexec tool adds the spin table area as a reserved section in the 
device tree for the dump capture kernel. This value is read from the 
'cpu-release-addr'.

But now, if the spin table is not located within the 'Reserved region' 
for the crash kernel, the dump capture kernel would fail to boot, 
hitting a BUG in mm/bootmem.c as in [1].

This is because we try to reserve a region which is not available to the 
kernel.

So I am wondering how is this handled really on an SMP board (Fsl_bookE).

There are two possible solutions :
1) Do not reserve the regions for the spin-table, as we will use
only the crashing CPU in the second kernel(maxcpus=1).


2) Add the spin-table region to the available memory regions passed
to the kernel by kexec-tools.

I have tested (1) and it works fine for me. Yet to test (2).


Thoughts ?


Thanks
Suzuki

I would think option 1 is acceptable. The crash kernel will never
attempt to use the memory outside of the crash kernel region therefore
it does not need to be reserved.

However, I thought we were able to boot SMP into the crash kernel on
our parts... not sure how that effects things (although the maxcpus=3D1
here is a perfectly acceptable and safer thing to do anyways)

Applied, thanks.

Someone needs to go through this driver when net-next opens up
and fix all of the indentation in this driver.

Because in of_register_spi_devices() in of_spi.c, you do:

	request_module(spi->modalias);

The string passed to request_module() must have the "spi:" prefix.

It is only useful with the prefix, so I though I would add it to the 
stored value.

Perhaps, but the with the combination of patches 1/3 and 2/3 I tried to 
ensure that the prefix would always be present for SPI devices.

Because udev may not be loading the driver.

No.
