2012-10-07netlink: add reference of module in netlink_dump_startGao feng
I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the same time. It's because netlink_dump uses inet_diag_dump which belongs to module inet_diag. I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem. We need to add a reference to the module which the cb->dump belongs to. Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric,Steffen and Pablo. Change From v3: change netlink_dump_start to inline,suggestion from Pablo and Eric. Change From v2: delete netlink_dump_done,and call module_put in netlink_dump and netlink_sock_destruct.

Pull UAPI disintegration fixes from David Howells: "There are three main parts: (1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64 (some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems - mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some __KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64. (2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its asm/signal.h. Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead. (3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due to it lacking a kvm_para.h file. The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was* an asm-generic/ version. It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs linux/kvm_para.h as well. Most arches actually have an asm/kvm_para.h, so this wasn't detectable in those." * 'uapi-prep' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers: UAPI: Fix conditional header installation handling (notably kvm_para.h on m68k) c6x: remove c6x signal.h UAPI: Split compound conditionals containing __KERNEL__ in Arm64 UAPI: Fix the guards on various asm/unistd.h files c6x: make dsk6455 the default config

PV console, block and network frontend/backends are working. Bug-fixes: * Fix compile linux-next fallout. * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing. The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports ARMv7 platforms. The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os (network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen drivers and infrastructure.

2012-10-05aoe: make dynamic block minor numbers the defaultEd Cashin
Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on usable AoE addresses. Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made the old limitations too confining. These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default, removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses. The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space counterpart to the aoe driver, recognizes the case where there is a mismatch between the minor number in sysfs and the minor number in a special device file.

The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot) address to identify a particular storage target. These changes remove an artificial limitation the aoe driver imposes on the use of AoE addresses. For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15, but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that. The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely. Instead of using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand.

2012-10-05aoe: associate frames with the AoE storage targetEd Cashin
In the driver code, "target" and aoetgt refer to a particular remote interface on the AoE storage target. The latter is identified by its AoE major and minor addresses. Commands that are being sent to an AoE storage target {major, minor} can be sent or retransmitted to any of the remote MAC addresses associated with the AoE storage target. That is, frames are naturally associated with not an aoetgt (AoE major, AoE minor, remote MAC address) but an aoedev (AoE major, AoE minor). Making the code reflect that reality simplifies the driver, especially when the path to a remote MAC address becomes unusable.

A guard is inserted to prevent AoE minor addresses (slot addresses) higher than 15 to be used, as they are not yet supported by the driver.

2012-10-05aoe: do revalidation steps in orderEd Cashin
The discovery process begins with an optional AoE config query command and an AoE config query response. Normally when an aoe device is already open, the config query response does not trigger an ATA identify device command to be sent out, since the response contains storage capacity information that, if changed, could surprise the user of the device. The userland "aoe-revalidate" tool uses a character device to trigger an AoE config query for a particular AoE storage target and an ATA device identify command, even when the device is open. This change causes the config query to go out first, reflecting the normal discovery sequence. The responses could come back in any order, so this change is fairly cosmetic.

2012-10-05aoe: failover remote interface based on aoe_deadsecs parameterEd Cashin
The aoe_deadsecs module parameter allows the user to specify a hard limit on the number of seconds an AoE command can be retransmitted before the AoE block device is considered to have failed. Using aoe_deadsecs to determine the time we try using a different remote interface helps to ensure that the hard limit is not reached before we've tried to recover by sending to a different remote port. As a data storage target, the AoE target is unambiguously identified by its {major, minor} AoE address tuple, and an AoE target can have multiple MAC addresses. However, note that "target" in the driver code and comments means a {major, minor, MAC address} tuple, as in "somewhere to send packets".

To allow users to choose an elevator algorithm for their particular workloads, change from a make_request-style driver to an I/O-request-queue-handler-style driver. We have to do a couple of things that might be surprising. We manipulate the page _count directly on the assumption that we still have no guarantee that users of the block layer are prohibited from submitting bios containing pages with zero reference counts.[1] If such a prohibition now exists, I can get rid of the _count manipulation. Just as before this patch, we still keep track of the sk_buffs that the network layer still hasn't finished yet and cap the resources we use with a "pool" of skbs.[2] Now that the block layer maintains the disk stats, the aoe driver's diskstats function can go away. 1. https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/1/374 2. https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/6/241 Signed-off-by: Ed Cashin <ecashin@coraid.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-10-05aoe: kernel thread handles I/O completions for simple lockingEd Cashin
Make the frames the aoe driver uses to track the relationship between bios and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an "aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O. The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure. Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming unusable.

2012-10-05aoe: for performance support larger packet payloadsEd Cashin
tAdd adds the ability to work with large packets composed of a number of segments, using the scatter gather feature of the block layer (biovecs) and the network layer (skb frag array). The motivation is the performance gained by using a packet data payload greater than a page size and by using the network card's scatter gather feature. Users of the out-of-tree aoe driver already had these changes, but since early 2011, they have complained of increased memory utilization and higher CPU utilization during heavy writes.[1] The commit below appears related, as it disables scatter gather on non-IP protocols inside the harmonize_features function, even when the NIC supports sg. commit f01a5236bd4b140198fbcc550f085e8361fd73fa Author: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Date: Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000 net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features(). With that regression in place, transmits always linearize sg AoE packets, but in-kernel users did not have this patch.

Add discard support to nbd. If the nbd-server supports discard, it will send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client. The client will then set the flag in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD). If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server. When the discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform: fallocate(.. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ..) To punch a hole in the backend storage, which is no longer needed.

2012-10-05nbd: add set flags ioctlPaul Clements
Add a set-flags ioctl, allowing various option flags to be set on an nbd device. This allows the nbd-client to set the device flags (to enable read-only mode, or enable discard support, etc.). Flags are typically specified by the nbd-server. During the negotiation phase of the nbd connection, the server sends its flags to the client. The client then uses NBD_SET_FLAGS to inform the kernel of the options. Also included is a one-line fix to debug output for the set-timeout ioctl.

2012-10-05rapidio: fix blocking wait for discovery readyAlexandre Bounine
The following set of patches provides modifications targeting support of multiple RapidIO master port (mport) devices on a CPU-side of RapidIO-capable board. While the RapidIO subsystem code has definitions suitable for multi-controller/multi-net support, the existing implementation cannot be considered ready for multiple mport configurations. =========== NOTES: ============= a) The patches below do not address RapidIO side view of multiport processing elements defined in Part 6 of RapidIO spec Rev.2.1 (section 6.4.1). These devices have Base Device ID CSR (0x60) and Component Tag CSR (0x6C) shared by all SRIO ports. For example, Freescale's P4080, P3041 and P5020 have a dual-port SRIO controller implemented according the specification. Enumeration/discovery of such devices from RapidIO side may require device-specific fixups. b) Devices referenced above may also require implementation specific code to setup a host device ID for mport device. These operations are not addressed by patches in this package. ================================= Details about provided patches: 1. Fix blocking wait for discovery ready While it does not happen on PowerPC based platforms, there is possibility of stalled CPU warning dump on x86 based platforms that run RapidIO discovery process if they wait too long for being enumerated. Currently users can avoid it by disabling the soft-lockup detector using "nosoftlockup" kernel parameter OR by ensuring that enumeration is completed before soft-lockup is detected. This patch eliminates blocking wait and keeps a scheduler running. It also is required for patch 3 below which introduces asynchronous discovery process. 2. Use device lists handling on per-net basis This patch allows to correctly support multiple RapidIO nets and resolves possible issues caused by using single global list of devices during RapidIO system enumeration/discovery. The most common sign of existing issue is incorrect contents of switch routing tables in systems with multiple mport controllers while single-port configuration performs as expected. The patch does not eliminate the global RapidIO device list but changes some routines in enumeration/discovery to use per-net device lists instead. This way compatibility with upper layer RIO routines is preserved. 3. Run discovery as an asynchronous process This patch modifies RapidIO initialization routine to asynchronously run the discovery process for each corresponding mport. This allows having an arbitrary order of enumerating and discovering mports without creating a deadlock situation if an enumerator port was registered after a discovering one. On boards with multiple discovering mports it also eliminates order dependency between mports and may reduce total time of RapidIO subsystem initialization. Making netID matching to mportID ensures consistent netID assignment in multiport RapidIO systems with asynchronous discovery process (global counter implementation is affected by race between threads). 4. Rework RIONET to support multiple RIO master ports In the current version of the driver rionet_probe() has comment "XXX Make multi-net safe". Now it is a good time to address this comment. This patch makes RIONET driver multi-net safe/capable by introducing per-net lists of RapidIO network peers. It also enables to register network adapters for all available mport devices. 5. Add destination ID allocation mechanism The patch replaces a single global destination ID counter with per-net allocation mechanism to allow independent destID management for each available RapidIO network. Using bitmap based mechanism instead of counters allows destination ID release and reuse in systems that support hot-swap. This patch: Fix blocking wait loop in the RapidIO discovery routine to avoid warning dumps about stalled CPU on x86 platforms.

2012-10-05rapidio: apply RX/TX enable to active switch ports onlyAlexandre Bounine
Apply port RX/TX enable operations only to active switch ports. RapidIO specification (Part 6: LP-Serial Physical Layer) recommends to keep Output Port Enable (TX) and Input Port Enable (RX) control bits in disabled state (0b0) after device reset. It also allows to have implementation specific reset state for these bits. This patch ensures that TX/RX enable action is applied only to active switch's ports while preserving an initial state of inactive ones. This patch is intended to keep inactive switch ports with inbound and outbound packet transfers disabled to block unexpected packets during hot insertion event. While it does not fix any visible malfunction it is intended to prevent such events in future.
