2013-07-09parisc: fix LMMIO mismatch between PAT length and MASK registerHelge Deller
The LMMIO length reported by PAT and the length given by the LBA MASK register are not consistent. This leads e.g. to a not-working ATI FireGL card with the radeon DRM driver since the memory can't be mapped. Fix this by correctly adjusting the resource sizes.

2013-07-09drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usageKonstantin Khlebnikov
rtnl_is_locked() doesn't check who holds this lock, it just tells that it's locked right now. if caif::ldisc_close really can be called under rtrnl_lock then it should release net device in other context because there is no way to grab rtnl_lock without deadlock. This patch adds work which releases these devices. Also this patch fixes calling dev_close/unregister_netdevice without rtnl_lock from caif_ser_exit().

2013-07-09vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flushMichael S. Tsirkin
vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait has a confusing name: it will actually also free it's argument. Thus since commit 1280c27f8e29acf4af2da914e80ec27c3dbd5c01 "vhost-net: flush outstanding DMAs on memory change" vhost_net_flush tries to use the argument after passing it to vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait, this results in use after free. To fix, don't free the argument in vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait, add an new API for callers that want to free ubufs.

2013-07-09net: sctp: confirm route during forward progressDaniel Borkmann
This fix has been proposed originally by Vlad Yasevich. He says: When SCTP makes forward progress (receives a SACK that acks new chunks, renegs, or answeres 0-window probes) or when HB-ACK arrives, mark the route as confirmed so we don't unnecessarily send NUD probes. Having a simple SCTP client/server that exchange data chunks every 1sec, without this patch ARP requests are sent periodically every 40-60sec. With this fix applied, an ARP request is only done once right at the "session" beginning. Also, when clearing the related ARP cache entry manually during the session, a new request is correctly done. I have only "backported" this to net-next and tested that it works, so full credit goes to Vlad.

2013-07-09virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processingDavid S. Miller
Michael S. Tsirkin says: ==================== Jason Wang reported a race in RX VQ processing: virtqueue_enable_cb is called outside napi lock, violating virtio serialization rules. The race has been there from day 1, but it got especially nasty in 3.0 when commit a5c262c5fd83ece01bd649fb08416c501d4c59d7 "virtio_ring: support event idx feature" added more dependency on vq state. Please review, and consider for 3.11 and stable. Changes from v1: - Added Jason's Tested-by tag - minor coding style fix ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-07-09virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processingMichael S. Tsirkin
virtio net called virtqueue_enable_cq on RX path after napi_complete, so with NAPI_STATE_SCHED clear - outside the implicit napi lock. This violates the requirement to synchronize virtqueue_enable_cq wrt virtqueue_add_buf. In particular, used event can move backwards, causing us to lose interrupts. In a debug build, this can trigger panic within START_USE. Jason Wang reports that he can trigger the races artificially, by adding udelay() in virtqueue_enable_cb() after virtio_mb(). However, we must call napi_complete to clear NAPI_STATE_SCHED before polling the virtqueue for used buffers, otherwise napi_schedule_prep in a callback will fail, causing us to lose RX events. To fix, call virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare with NAPI_STATE_SCHED set (under napi lock), later call virtqueue_poll with NAPI_STATE_SCHED clear (outside the lock).

This adds a way to check ring empty state after enable_cb outside any locks. Will be used by virtio_net. Note: there's room for more optimization: caller is likely to have a memory barrier already, which means we might be able to get rid of a barrier here.

2013-07-09scsi_debug: fix do_device_access() with wrap around rangeAkinobu Mita
do_device_access() is a function that abstracts copying SG list from/to ramdisk storage (fake_storep). It must deal with the ranges exceeding actual fake_storep size, because such ranges are valid if virtual_gb is set greater than zero, and they should be treated as fake_storep is repeatedly mirrored up to virtual size. Unfortunately, it can't deal with the range which wraps around the end of fake_storep. A wrap around range is copied by two sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() calls, but sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() can't copy from/to in the middle of SG list, therefore the second call can't copy correctly. This fixes it by using sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() that can copy from/to the middle of SG list. This also simplifies the assignment of sdb->resid in fill_from_dev_buffer(). Because fill_from_dev_buffer() is now only called once per command execution cycle. So it is not necessary to take care to decrease sdb->resid if fill_from_dev_buffer() is called more than once.

2013-07-09lib/scatterlist: factor out sg_miter_get_next_page() from sg_miter_next()Akinobu Mita
This patchset introduces sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and sg_pcopy_to_buffer(), which copy data between a linear buffer and an SG list. The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that specifies the number of bytes to skip the SG list before copying. The main reason for introducing these functions is to fix a problem in scsi_debug module. And there is a local function in crypto/talitos module, which can be replaced by sg_pcopy_to_buffer(). This patch: sg_miter_get_next_page() is used to proceed page iterator to the next page if necessary, and will be used to implement the variants of sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() later.

LZ4 is a very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely fast decoder [1]. But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2]. Russell King said that we should have: - one decompressor which is the fastest - one decompressor for the highest compression ratio - one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip) If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly that: replace it. The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase in decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the fastest decompressor in the Kernel). Therefore the "fast but may not be small" compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].

Therefore the patch replaces the variable with a per-semaphore variable. The per-array sem_otime is only calculated when required.

2013-07-09ipc/sem.c: always use only one queue for alter operationsManfred Spraul
There are two places that can contain alter operations: - the global queue: sma->pending_alter - the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter. Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over simple ops. The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting operation has the highest priority. This is done by using only one queue: - if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used. - otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used. As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more goto logic.

Interleave 2 in order use first the full cores. HT partially hides the delay from cacheline trashing, thus the improvement is "only" 8.7% if 4 threads are running.

This works only if ipc_rcu_alloc returns cacheline aligned pointers. vmalloc and kmalloc return cacheline algined pointers, the implementation of ipc_rcu_alloc breaks that.
