[PATCH -v3 3/8] lib, Add lock-less NULL terminated single list
[PATCH -v3 4/8] Hardware error device core
[PATCH -v3 5/8] Hardware error record persistent support
[PATCH -v3 6/8] ACPI, APEI, Use ERST for hardware error persisting before panic

[PATCH -v3 8/8] ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source POLL/IRQ/NMI notification type support

[PATCH -v3 1/8] ACPI, APEI, Add ERST record ID cache

[Huang Ying]

APEI ERST firmware interface and implementation has no multiple users
in mind. For example, there is four records in storage with ID: 1, 2,
3 and 4, if two ERST readers enumerate the records via
GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID as follow,

reader 1		reader 2
1
			2
3
			4
-1
			-1

where -1 signals there is no more record ID.

Reader 1 has no chance to check record 2 and 4, while reader 2 has no
chance to check record 1 and 3. And any other GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID will
return -1, that is, other readers will has no chance to check any
record even they are not cleared by anyone.

This makes raw GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID not suitable for usage of multiple
users.

To solve the issue, an in memory ERST record ID cache is designed and
implemented. When enumerating record ID, the ID returned by
GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID is added into cache in addition to be returned to
caller. So other readers can check the cache to get all record ID
available.

[PATCH -v3 2/8] lib, Make gen_pool memory allocator lock-less

[Huang Ying]

Multiple users can allocate/free memory in the pool simultaneously
without lock.  This also makes gen_pool memory allocator can be used
to allocate/free memory in IRQ/NMI handler. This is useful for
hardware error handling, which needs to collect hardware error
information in IRQ/NMI handler.

To support lock-less allocate/free operation, lock-less bitmap
set/clear operations are implemented.

I think we need some more description here about the locklessness:

How about adding to the comment:

This version of the allocator supports lockless operation.

This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special unblockable
contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks.  This is implemented by 
using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts. 
The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases.  

The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory
available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to 
be still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure
that sufficient memory is preallocated.

The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long. 
On architectures that don't support cmpxchg natively a fallback
is used. If the fallback uses locks it may not be safe to use
it in NMI contexts on these architectures.

I believe that's not safe in a lockless context right?
Should note that.

Or add something like:

To get better scalability, one allocator can be used for each CPU.

In fact, because RCU is used between gen_pool_add and
gen_pool_alloc/gen_pool_free, the memory can be added to pool at any
time. This makes the memory allocator more flexible. Maybe we can add
gen_pool_remove in the future to shrink the preallocated memory at any
time.

Yes. Will add that.

[PATCH -v3 3/8] lib, Add lock-less NULL terminated single list

[Huang Ying]

Cmpxchg is used to implement adding new entry to the list, deleting
all entries from the list, deleting first entry of the list and some
other operations.

Because this is a single list, so the tail can not be accessed in O(1).

This can be used in NMI handler.

[PATCH -v3 4/8] Hardware error device core

[Huang Ying]

Hardware error device is a kind of device which can report hardware
errors.  The examples of hardware error device include APEI GHES, PCIe
AER, etc.

Hardware error device core in this patch provides common services for
various hardware error devices.

Hardware error record data structure is defined to accommodate various
hardware error information.  Several error sections can be
incorporated into one error record to accumulate information for
multiple hardware components related to one error.  For example, for
an error on a device on the secondary side of a PCIe bridge, it is
useful to record error information from PCIe bridge and from the PCIe
device.

To manage various hardware error devices, struct herr_dev is defined
as a "sub-class" of "struct device".  It should be created as the
child device of the "real" hardware error device such as APEI GHES to
represent the hardware error reporting aspect of the device.  The
class of struct herr_dev instances is "error", so that all hardware
error devices can be enumerated via listing all links in
/sys/class/error.

The most important functionality that this patch provided is hardware
error reporting support.  Details is as follow.

A lock-less hardware error record allocator is provided.  So for
hardware error that can be ignored (such as corrected errors), it is
not needed to pre-allocate the error record or allocate the error
record on stack.

After filling in all necessary fields in hardware error record, the
error reporting is quite straightforward, just calling
herr_record_report, parameters are the error record itself and the
corresponding struct herr_dev.  All other special processing including
user space interface is handled by hardware error device core, this
make it much easier to write a hardware error handler.

Because the possibility for two or more hardware parts to go error
simultaneously is quite low, it is not necessary to create one device
file for each hardware error device.  One device file (/dev/error)
which mixed error records from all hardware error devices is created
as the user space interface.  Then, the user space hardware error
daemon can do some further processing (including logging into disk),
based on the hardware error records read from the device file.

Although the in-kernel and user space interface of hardware error
reporting is quite simple, there is some special consideration in
hardware error reporting implementation.

Hardware errors may burst, for example, same hardware errors may be
reported at high rate within a short interval, this will use up all
pre-allocated memory for error reporting, so that other hardware
errors come from same or different hardware device can not be logged.
To deal with this issue, a burst control algorithm is implemented.
The logging rate for errors come from one hardware error device is
throttled based on the available pre-allocated memory for error
reporting.  In this way we can log as many kinds of errors as possible
comes from as many error devices as possible.

This patch is designed by Andi Kleen and Huang Ying.

[PATCH -v3 5/8] Hardware error record persistent support

[Huang Ying]

Normally, corrected hardware error records will go through the kernel
processing and be logged to disk or network finally.  But for
uncorrected errors, system may go panic directly for better error
containment, disk or network is not usable in this half-working
system.  To avoid losing these valuable hardware error records, the
error records are saved into some kind of simple persistent storage
such as flash before panic, so that they can be read out after system
reboot successfully.

Different kind of simple persistent storage implementation mechanisms
are provided on different platforms, so an abstract interface for
persistent storage is defined.  Different implementations of the
interface can be registered.

This patch is designed by Andi Kleen and Huang Ying.

[PATCH -v3 6/8] ACPI, APEI, Use ERST for hardware error persisting before panic

[Huang Ying]

Corrected/Recoverable hardware errors can usually be saved into disk
and/or sent to network for logging.  But if uncorrected/fatal hardware
errors occur, system may not reliable enough for desk and/or network
accessing and needs to go panic as soon as possible for error
containment.  In this situation, ERST can be used to save the valuable
error records into some persistent storage such as flash.

This patch implements herr_persist interface using ERST.  So that
hardware error device core can use ERST to save hardware error record
before panic.

[PATCH -v3 7/8] ACPI, APEI, Report GHES error record with hardware error device core

[Huang Ying]

One hardware error device (struct herr_dev) is created for each GHES
in GHES platform device "probe" function.  Then when GHES hardware
error handler is notified by firmware, the hardware error records will
be reported on the struct herr_dev.

In the previous GHES support, only corrected memory error can be
reported to user space via /dev/mcelog, now all kinds of hardware
errors notified with SCI can be reported.

[PATCH -v3 8/8] ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source POLL/IRQ/NMI notification type support

[Huang Ying]

Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.

This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support.

Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information
from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer
handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a
special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that.

You forgot to CC all people who participated in the previous discussion.

You seem to have forgotten to address the high-level feedback given by
the x86 maintainers.

All you've done is decreased the arch/x86/ footprint of the patch
series, but neither you nor Andi have addressed the technical arguments
against adding this ABI.

Nor have you engaged in conversation with the other EDAC people on how
to extend the existing interface, or even work towards creating
something new that would cater to all interested parties.

Not charmed at all by your attitude.

Sorry for late, busy in traveling recently. I will fix the issue in
the next version.

What were the technical arguments? I don't remember any.

I remember just reading some rants from people who clearly
never even looked at this code and made no attempt to review
it. It was very untechnical.

> Nor have you engaged in conversation with the other EDAC people on how

There was a long thread on it last time, patchkit really is based
on at least some of the sane feedback from that.

But in a nutshell:

This code is quite orthogonal to EDAC: EDAC does enumeration
(or some weird variant of it at least), exporting of counter registers
and some dumping of the registers into the kernel log. 

APEI doesn't do enumeration or counting or registers, it's really just
an interface to retrieve some events from firmware, stop the machine on 
fatal events and pass them on and support managing of the events in a 
backing store.

It's also a standardized interface supported by multiple vendors,
it's not proprietary at all as some people claimed.

> to extend the existing interface, or even work towards creating

Open to serious input. Do you have anything concrete?
Please be concrete and technical ideally with references to code.

Some common comments I heard:

If you want enumeration it could be probably done in some 
EDAC2 variant which fixes the worst problems in the current EDAC interface.
But it won't be talking to APEI directly anyways -- APEI
doesn't do enumeration -- it's really a different problem
and won't be solve by this code.

If you want to move the event channel to perf: we looked at that
and it's not practical with the current infrastructure. And
not a very good fit anyways because the requirements
as quite different from the ones perf was designed for.
For more details see the big thread on the previous posting.

If you want to move the backing store to a file system
or MTD: we actually looked at that too but there were too
many problems and it's really far too much code for the simple 
use case.

Short term this code just attempts to handle fatal chipset errors
(which are a long standing problem in Linux) in a sane way.

You did not reply to my technical arguments:

You did not reply to Thomas's technical arguments:

    http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/26/71

Are you really claiming that you "don't remember any"?
