2013-05-01ipc: remove bogus lock comment for ipc_checkidDavidlohr Bueso
This series makes the sysv semaphore code more scalable, by reducing the time the semaphore lock is held, and making the locking more scalable for semaphore arrays with multiple semaphores. The first four patches were written by Davidlohr Buesso, and reduce the hold time of the semaphore lock. The last three patches change the sysv semaphore code locking to be more fine grained, providing a performance boost when multiple semaphores in a semaphore array are being manipulated simultaneously. On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this: vanilla Davidlohr's Davidlohr's + Davidlohr's + threads patches rwlock patches v3 patches 10 610652 726325 1783589 2142206 20 341570 365699 1520453 1977878 30 288102 307037 1498167 2037995 40 290714 305955 1612665 2256484 50 288620 312890 1733453 2650292 60 289987 306043 1649360 2388008 70 291298 306347 1723167 2717486 80 290948 305662 1729545 2763582 90 290996 306680 1736021 2757524 100 292243 306700 1773700 3059159 This patch: There is no reason to be holding the ipc lock while reading ipcp->seq, hence remove misleading comment. Also simplify the return value for the function.

2013-05-01tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take threeLinus Torvalds
We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit b0de59b5733d: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c76595: "TTY: fix atime/mtime regression"), but it turns out that this was both insufficient and overkill. It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an idle person from an active one with 'w'. So this tries to fix the problem properly. It marks the shared ptmx node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is active or not.

2013-05-01dma-buf: replace dma_buf_export() with dma_buf_export_named()Sumit Semwal
For debugging purposes, it is useful to have a name-string added while exporting buffers. Hence, dma_buf_export() is replaced with dma_buf_export_named(), which additionally takes 'exp_name' as a parameter. For backward compatibility, and for lazy exporters who don't wish to name themselves, a #define dma_buf_export() is also made available, which adds a __FILE__ instead of 'exp_name'.

2013-05-01tcm_vhost: Wait for pending requests in vhost_scsi_flush()Asias He
Unlike tcm_vhost_evt requests, tcm_vhost_cmd requests are passed to the target core system, we can not make sure all the pending requests will be finished by flushing the virt queue. In this patch, we do refcount for every tcm_vhost_cmd requests to make vhost_scsi_flush() wait for all the pending requests issued before the flush operation to be finished. This is useful when we call vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint() to stop tcm_vhost. No new requests will be passed to target core system because we clear the endpoint by setting vs_tpg to NULL. And we wait for all the old requests. These guarantee no requests will be leaked and existing requests will be completed. Signed-off-by: Asias He <asias@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2013-05-01vhost: Allow device specific fields per vqAsias He
This is useful for any device who wants device specific fields per vq. For example, tcm_vhost wants a per vq field to track requests which are in flight on the vq. Also, on top of this we can add patches to move things like ubufs from vhost.h out to net.c. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
