"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> reports that commit
b029195dda introduced a regression
of about 50% with sequential threaded read workloads. The test
case is:
tiotest -k0 -k1 -k3 -f 80 -t 32
which starts 32 threads each reading a 80MB file. Twiddle the kick
queue logic so that we do start IO immediately, if it appears to be
a fully merged request. We can't really detect that, so just check
if the request is bigger than a page or not. The assumption is that
since single bio issues will first queue a single request with just
one page attached and then later do merges on that, if we already
have more than a page worth of data in the request, then the request
is most likely good to go.
Verified that this doesn't cause a regression with the test case that
commit b029195dda was fixing. It does not,
we still see maximum sized requests for the queue-then-merge cases.

Revert part of af5c820a31 ("x86: cpumask:
use work_on_cpu in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c")
That change is causing only one Intel CPU's microcode to be updated e.g.
microcode: CPU3 updated from revision 0x9 to 0x17, date = 2005-04-22
where before it announced that also for CPU0 and CPU1 and CPU2.
We cannot use work_on_cpu() in the CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE code,
because Intel's request_microcode_user() involves a copy_from_user() from
/sbin/microcode_ctl, which therefore needs to be on that CPU at the time.

division operator.

Impact: build fix for Sparc and s390
Stephen Rothwell reported that the Sparc build broke:
In file included from kernel/panic.c:12:
include/linux/debug_locks.h: In function '__debug_locks_off':
include/linux/debug_locks.h:15: error: implicit declaration of function 'xchg'
due to:
9eeba61: lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taint
There is some inconsistency between architectures about where exactly
xchg() is defined.
The traditional place is in system.h but the more logical point for it
is in atomic.h - where most architectures (especially new ones) have
it defined. These architecture also still offer it via system.h.
Some, such as Sparc or s390 only have it in asm/system.h and not available
via asm/atomic.h at all.
Use the widest set of headers in debug_locks.h and also include asm/system.h.

If two writers allocating blocks to file race with each other (e.g.
because writepages races with ordinary write or two writepages race with
each other), ext2_getblock() can be called on the same inode in parallel.
Before we are going to allocate new blocks, we have to recheck the block
chain we have obtained so far without holding truncate_mutex. Otherwise
we could overwrite the indirect block pointer set by the other writer
leading to data loss.
The below test program by Ying is able to reproduce the data loss with ext2
on in BRD in a few minutes if the machine is under memory pressure:
long kMemSize = 50 << 20;
int kPageSize = 4096;
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int status;
int count = 0;
int i;
char *fname = "/mnt/test.mmap";
char *mem;
unlink(fname);
int fd = open(fname, O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_RDWR, 0600);
status = ftruncate(fd, kMemSize);
mem = mmap(0, kMemSize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
// Fill the memory with 1s.
memset(mem, 1, kMemSize);
sleep(2);
for (i = 0; i < kMemSize; i++) {
int byte_good = mem[i] != 0;
if (!byte_good && ((i % kPageSize) == 0)) {
//printf("%d ", i / kPageSize);
count++;
}
}
munmap(mem, kMemSize);
close(fd);
unlink(fname);
if (count > 0) {
printf("Running %d bad page\n", count);
return 1;
}
return 0;
