* mac80211: reduce reliance on netdevJohannes Berg2009-12-2128-207/+223
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so prepare for that by reducing the reliance on having a netdev. This patch moves the name and address fields into the sdata struct and uses them from there all over. Some work is needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not a lot of work and in slow paths anyway. In doing so, this also reduces the number of pointer dereferences in many places, because of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming sdata->vif.addr.

* mac80211: make station management completely depend on vifJohannes Berg2009-12-2113-101/+134
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The station management currently uses the virtual interface, but you cannot add the same station to multiple virtual interfaces if you're communicating with it in multiple ways. This restriction should be lifted so that in the future we can, for instance, support bluetooth 3 with an access point that mac80211 is already associated to. We can do that by requiring all sta_info_get users to provide the virtual interface and making the RX code aware that an address may match more than one station struct. Thanks to the previous patches this one isn't all that large and except for the RX and TX status paths changes has low complexity.

* wireless: hostap, fix oops due to early probing interruptColin Ian King2009-12-211-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/254837 Spurious shared interrupts or early probing interrupts can cause the hostap interrupt handler to oops before the driver has fully configured the IO base port addresses. In some cases the oops can be because the hardware shares an interrupt line, on other cases it is due to a race condition between probing for the hardware and configuring the IO base port. The latter occurs because the probing is required to determin the hardware port address which is only determined when the probe can interrupt the hardware (catch 22). This patch catches this pre-configured condition to avoid the oops.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o One of the goals of block IO controller is that it should be able to support mulitple io control policies, some of which be operational at higher level in storage hierarchy. o To begin with, we had one io controlling policy implemented by CFQ, and I hard coded the CFQ functions called by blkio. This created issues when CFQ is compiled as module. o This patch implements a basic dynamic io controlling policy registration functionality in blkio. This is similar to elevator functionality where ioschedulers register the functions dynamically. o Now in future, when more IO controlling policies are implemented, these can dynakically register with block IO controller.

| * blkio: Wait on sync-noidle queue even if rq_noidle = 1Vivek Goyal2009-12-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o rq_noidle() is supposed to tell cfq that do not expect a request after this one, hence don't idle. But this does not seem to work very well. For example for direct random readers, rq_noidle = 1 but there is next request coming after this. Not idling, leads to a group not getting its share even if group_isolation=1. o The right solution for this issue is to scan the higher layers and set right flag (WRITE_SYNC or WRITE_ODIRECT). For the time being, this single line fix helps. This should not have any significant impact when we are not using cgroups. I will later figure out IO paths in higher layer and fix it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o If a group is running only a random reader, then it will not have enough traffic to keep disk busy and we will reduce overall throughput. This should result in better latencies for random reader though. If we don't idle on random reader service tree, then this random reader will experience large latencies if there are other groups present in system with sequential readers running in these. o One solution suggested by corrado is that by default keep the random readers or sync-noidle workload in root group so that during one dispatch round we idle only once on sync-noidle tree. This means that all the sync-idle workload queues will be in their respective group and we will see service differentiation in those but not on sync-noidle workload. o Provide a tunable group_isolation. If set, this will make sure that even sync-noidle queues go in their respective group and we wait on these. This provides stronger isolation between groups but at the expense of throughput if group does not have enough traffic to keep the disk busy. o By default group_isolation = 0 Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Async queues are not per group. Instead these are system wide and maintained in root group. Hence their workload slice length should be calculated based on total number of queues in the system and not just queues in the root group. o As root group's default weight is 1000, make sure to charge async queue more in terms of vtime so that it does not get more time on disk because root group has higher weight.
