This patch enables 'can_dma_sg' flag for ax88179_178a device if the attached host controller supports building packet from discontinuous buffers(DMA SG is possible), so TSO can be enabled and skb fragment buffers can be passed to usb stack via urb->sg directly. With the patch, system CPU utilization decreased ~50% and throughput increased by ~10% when doing iperf client test on one ARM A15 dual core board.

ehci-hcd currently unlinks an interrupt QH when it becomes empty, that is, after its last URB completes. This works well because in almost all cases, the completion handler for an interrupt URB resubmits the URB; therefore the QH doesn't become empty and doesn't get unlinked. When we start using tasklets for URB completion, this scheme won't work as well. The resubmission won't occur until the tasklet runs, which will be some time after the completion is queued with the tasklet. During that delay, the QH will be empty and so will be unlinked unnecessarily. To prevent this problem, this patch adds a 5-ms time delay before empty interrupt QHs are unlinked. Most often, during that time the interrupt URB will be resubmitted and thus we can avoid unlinking the QH.

The patch does the below improvement: - think QH_STATE_COMPLETING as unlinking state since all URBs on the endpoint should be in unlinking or unlinked when doing endpoint_disable() - add "WARN_ON(!list_empty(&qh->qtd_list));" if qh->qh_state is QH_STATE_LINKED because there shouldn't be any active transfer in qh - when qh->qh_state is QH_STATE_LINKED, the QH(async or periodic) should be in its corresponding list, so the search through the async list isn't necessary. - unlink periodic QH to speed up unlinking if the QH is in linked state Basically, only the last one is related with this patchset because the assumption of "periodic qh self-unlinks on empty" isn't true any more when we introduce unlink-wait for periodic qh.

There is no good reason to run complete() in hard interrupt disabled context. After switch to run complete() in tasklet, we will enable local IRQs when calling complete() since we can do it at that time. Even though we still disable IRQs now when calling complete() in tasklet, the URB documentation is updated to claim complete() will be run in tasklet context and local IRQs will be enabled, so that USB drivers can know the change and avoid one deadlock caused by: assume IRQs disabled in complete() and call spin_lock() to hold lock which might be acquired in interrupt context. Current spin_lock() usages in drivers' complete() will be cleaned up at the same time, and once the cleanup is finished, local IRQs will be enabled when calling complete() in tasklet. Also fix description about type of usb_complete_t, and remove the advice of running completion handler in tasklet for decreasing system latency.

This patch implements the mechanism of giveback of URB in tasklet context, so that hardware interrupt handling time for usb host controller can be saved much, and HCD interrupt handling can be simplified. Motivations: 1), on some arch(such as ARM), DMA mapping/unmapping is a bit time-consuming, for example: when accessing usb mass storage via EHCI on pandaboard, the common length of transfer buffer is 120KB, the time consumed on DMA unmapping may reach hundreds of microseconds; even on A15 based box, the time is still about scores of microseconds 2), on some arch, reading DMA coherent memoery is very time-consuming, the most common example is usb video class driver[1] 3), driver's complete() callback may do much things which is driver specific, so the time is consumed unnecessarily in hardware irq context. 4), running driver's complete() callback in hardware irq context causes that host controller driver has to release its lock in interrupt handler, so reacquiring the lock after return may busy wait a while and increase interrupt handling time. More seriously, releasing the HCD lock makes HCD becoming quite complicated to deal with introduced races. So the patch proposes to run giveback of URB in tasklet context, then time consumed in HCD irq handling doesn't depend on drivers' complete and DMA mapping/unmapping any more, also we can simplify HCD since the HCD lock isn't needed to be released during irq handling. The patch should be reasonable and doable: 1), for drivers, they don't care if the complete() is called in hard irq context or softirq context 2), the biggest change is the situation in which usb_submit_urb() is called in complete() callback, so the introduced tasklet schedule delay might be a con, but it shouldn't be a big deal: - control/bulk asynchronous transfer isn't sensitive to schedule delay - the patch schedules giveback of periodic URBs using tasklet_hi_schedule, so the introduced delay should be very small - for ISOC transfer, generally, drivers submit several URBs concurrently to avoid interrupt delay, so it is OK with the little schedule delay. - for interrupt transfer, generally, drivers only submit one URB at the same time, but interrupt transfer is often used in event report, polling, ... situations, and a little delay should be OK. Considered that HCDs may optimize on submitting URB in complete(), the patch may cause the optimization not working, so introduces one flag to mark if the HCD supports to run giveback URB in tasklet context. When all HCDs are ready, the flag can be removed.

NetLabel has the ability to selectively assign network security labels to outbound traffic based on either the LSM's "domain" (different for each LSM), the network destination, or a combination of both. Depending on the type of traffic, local or forwarded, and the type of traffic selector, domain or address based, different hooks are used to label the traffic; the goal being minimal overhead. Unfortunately, there is a bug such that a system using NetLabel domain based traffic selectors does not correctly label outbound local traffic that is not assigned to a socket. The issue is that in these cases the associated NetLabel hook only looks at the address based selectors and not the domain based selectors. This patch corrects this by checking both the domain and address based selectors so that the correct labeling is applied, regardless of the configuration type. In order to acomplish this fix, this patch also simplifies some of the NetLabel domainhash structures to use a more common outbound traffic mapping type: struct netlbl_dommap_def. This simplifies some of the code in this patch and paves the way for further simplifications in the future. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

It's possible to assign an invalid value to the net.core.somaxconn sysctl variable, because there is no checks at all. The sk_max_ack_backlog field of the sock structure is defined as unsigned short. Therefore, the backlog argument in inet_listen() shouldn't exceed USHRT_MAX. The backlog argument in the listen() syscall is truncated to the somaxconn value. So, the somaxconn value shouldn't exceed 65535 (USHRT_MAX). Also, negative values of somaxconn are meaningless. before: $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256 net.core.somaxconn = 256 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536 net.core.somaxconn = 65536 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100 net.core.somaxconn = -100 after: $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256 net.core.somaxconn = 256 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536 error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn" $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100 error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn" Based on a prior patch from Changli Gao.
