2013-08-01net: add a temporary sanity check in skb_orphan()Eric Dumazet
David suggested to add a BUG_ON() to catch if some layer sets skb->sk pointer without a corresponding destructor. As skb can sit in a queue, it's mandatory to make sure the socket cannot disappear, and it's usually done by taking a reference on the socket, then releasing it from the skb destructor. This patch is a follow-up to commit c34a761231b5 ("net: skb_orphan() changes") and will be reverted after catching all possible offenders if any.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to ixgbe and pci. The first patch for ixgbe from Greg Rose is the second submission. The first submission of "ixgbe: Retain VLAN filtering in promiscuous + VT mode" had a typo, which Joe Perches pointed out and is fixed in this submission. Alex updates the ixgbe driver to use the generic helper pci_vfs_assigned instead of the driver specific function ixgbe_vfs_are_assigned. Don Skidmore provides 4 patches for ixgbe, the first being a fix for flow control ethtool reporting. Originally ixgbe_device_supports_autoneg_fc() was expected to be called by only copper devices, which lead to false information being displayed via ethtool. Two other patches add support for fixed fiber for SFP+ devices and the addition of a quad-port x520 adapter. The last patch simply bumps the driver version. Emil Tantilov provides 3 fixes for ixgbe, two of which resolve semaphore lock issues. The third fix resolves several issues in the previous implementation of the SFF data dumps of SFP+ modules. The remaining ixgbe and pci patches are from Jacob Keller. The pci patches exposes bus speed, link speed and bus width so that drivers can take advantage of this information. In addition, adds a pci function which obtains minimum link width and speed. Jacob also provides the ixgbe patch to incorporate the pci function. He provides a patch that fixes a lockdep issue created due to ixgbe_ptp_stop always running cancel_work_sync even if the work item had not been created properly with INIT_WORK. This issue was found and reported by Stephen Hemminger. -v2- * fix patch 3 to be a bool function based on David Miller's feedback * fix patch 4 debug message based on David Miller's feedback * fix patch 8 moved the extern declarations to pci.h based on Bjorn Helgaas's feedback * fix patch 11 update the error message to include encoding loss based * fix patch 8/9/10 title based on Bjorn's feedback ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-07-31PCI: Add function to obtain minimum link width and speedJacob Keller
A PCI Express device can potentially report a link width and speed which it will not properly fulfill due to being plugged into a slower link higher in the chain. This function walks up the PCI bus chain and calculates the minimum link width and speed of this entire chain. This can be useful to enable a device to determine if it has enough bandwidth for optimum functionality.

This commit adds new firmware command and new firmware event. The firmware raises the MLX4_EVENT_TYPE_OP_REQUIRED event in order to signal the driver it needs to perform an administrative operation throughout the MLX4_CMD_GET_OP_REQ command. At the moment the supported operation is adding/removing multicast entries which are used by the firmware for handling NCSI traffic in B0 steering mode.

This patch centralizes computing of max rx/tx qlen, because: - RX_QLEN()/TX_QLEN() is called in hot path - computing depends on device's usb speed, now we have ls/fs, hs, ss, so more checks need to be involved - in fact, max rx/tx qlen should not only depend on device USB speed, but also depend on ethernet link speed, so we need to consider that in future. - if SG support is done, max tx qlen may need change too Generally, hard_mtu and rx_urb_size are changed in bind(), reset() and link_reset() callback, and change mtu network operation, this patches introduces the API of usbnet_update_max_qlen(), and calls it in above path.

2013-07-25tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket optionEric Dumazet
Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory. TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted : Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room for the application to queue more bytes) For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time (or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg()) This patch adds two ways to set the limit : 1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT 2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value) Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect. This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls when using non blocking sockets, and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets. Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is defined as : Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol) Tested: netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458) lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 45458 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 45458 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 20567 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 20567 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.

2013-07-18vlan: mask vlan prio bitsEric Dumazet
In commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e ("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols") Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this particular id. But we also have a problem if prio bits are set. Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device, because skb->vlan_tci is set. Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000) being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address : 16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 > 9f94:4d95:2001:67c:29f4::: ICMP6, unknown icmp6 type (0), length 64 0x0000: 0000 0029 8000 c7c3 7103 0001 a0ae e651 0x0010: 0000 0000 ccce 0b00 0000 0000 1011 1213 0x0020: 1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223 0x0030: 2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233 It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now. We can probably do better in future kernels : vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of a per vlan_dev one. For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

2013-07-14kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

2013-07-13llist: llist_add() can use llist_add_batch()Oleg Nesterov
llist_add(new, head) can simply use llist_add_batch(new, new, head), no need to duplicate the code. This obviously uninlines llist_add() and to me this is a win. But we can make llist_add_batch() inline if this is desirable, in this case gcc can notice that new_first == new_last if the caller is llist_add().

2013-07-13llist: fix/simplify llist_add() and llist_add_batch()Oleg Nesterov
1. This is mostly theoretical, but llist_add*() need ACCESS_ONCE(). Otherwise it is not guaranteed that the first cmpxchg() uses the same value for old_entry and new_last->next. 2. These helpers cache the result of cmpxchg() and read the initial value of head->first before the main loop. I do not think this makes sense. In the likely case cmpxchg() succeeds, otherwise it doesn't hurt to reload head->first. I think it would be better to simplify the code and simply read ->first before cmpxchg().
