This is a minor change. Up until kernel 2.6.32, getsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_STATISTICS, ...) would return total and dropped packets since its last invocation. The introduction of socket queue overflow reporting [1] changed drop rate calculation in the normal packet socket path, but not when using a packet ring. As a result, the getsockopt now returns different statistics depending on the reception method used. With a ring, it still returns the count since the last call, as counts are incremented in tpacket_rcv and reset in getsockopt. Without a ring, it returns 0 if no drops occurred since the last getsockopt and the total drops over the lifespan of the socket otherwise. The culprit is this line in packet_rcv, executed on a drop: drop_n_acct: po->stats.tp_drops = atomic_inc_return(&sk->sk_drops); As it shows, the new drop number it taken from the socket drop counter, which is not reset at getsockopt. I put together a small example that demonstrates the issue [2]. It runs for 10 seconds and overflows the queue/ring on every odd second. The reported drop rates are: ring: 16, 0, 16, 0, 16, ... non-ring: 0, 15, 0, 30, 0, 46, 0, 60, 0 , 74. Note how the even ring counts monotonically increase. Because the getsockopt adds tp_drops to tp_packets, total counts are similarly reported cumulatively. Long story short, reinstating the original code, as the below patch does, fixes the issue at the cost of additional per-packet cycles. Another solution that does not introduce per-packet overhead is be to keep the current data path, record the value of sk_drops at getsockopt() at call N in a new field in struct packetsock and subtract that when reporting at call N+1. I'll be happy to code that, instead, it's just more messy.

If a VM is saved and restored (or migrated) the netback driver will no longer process any Tx packets from the frontend. xenvif_up() does not schedule the processing of any pending Tx requests from the front end because the carrier is off. Without this initial kick the frontend just adds Tx requests to the ring without raising an event (until the ring is full). This was caused by 47103041 (net: xen-netback: convert to hw_features) which reordered the calls to xenvif_up() and netif_carrier_on() in xenvif_connect().

During a test where a pair of bonding interfaces using ARP monitoring were both brought up and torn down (with an rmmod) repeatedly, a panic in the timer code was noticed. I tracked this down and determined that any of the bonding functions that ran as workqueue handlers and requeued more work might not properly exit when the module was removed. There was a flag protected by the bond lock called kill_timers that is set when the interface goes down or the module is removed, but many of the functions that monitor link status now unlock the bond lock to take rtnl first. There is a chance that another CPU running the rmmod could get the lock and set kill_timers after the first check has passed. This patch does not allow any function to queue work that will make itself run unless kill_timers is not set. I also noticed while doing this work that bond_resend_igmp_join_requests did not have a check for kill_timers, so I added the needed call there as well.

The commit aabdcb0b ("can bcm: fix tx_setup off-by-one errors") fixed only a part of the original problem reported by Andre Naujoks. It turned out that the original code needed to be re-ordered to reduce complexity and to finally fix the reported frame counting issues.

In the rds_iw_mr_pool struct the free_pinned field keeps track of memory pinned by free MRs. While this field is incremented properly upon allocation, it is never decremented upon unmapping. This would cause the rds_rdma module to crash the kernel upon unloading, by triggering the BUG_ON in the rds_iw_destroy_mr_pool function. This change keeps track of the MRs that become unpinned, so that free_pinned can be decremented appropriately.

This patch fixes two off-by-one errors that canceled each other out. Checking for the same condition two times in bcm_tx_timeout_tsklet() reduced the count of frames to be sent by one. This did not show up the first time tx_setup is invoked as an additional frame is sent due to TX_ANNONCE. Invoking a second tx_setup on the same item led to a reduced (by 1) number of sent frames.

The IEEE 1588 standard defines two kinds of messages, event and general messages. Event messages require time stamping, and general do not. When using UDP transport, two separate ports are used for the two message types. The BPF designed to recognize event messages incorrectly classifies L2 general messages as event messages. This commit fixes the issue by extending the filter to check the message type field for L2 PTP packets. Event messages are be distinguished from general messages by testing the "general" bit.

Doing it just before starting to call into cpu_idle() made a sick kind of sense only because the original bug we fixed (see commit 288d5abe: "Boot up with usermodehelper disabled") was about problems with some scheduler data structures not being initialized, and they had better be initialized at that point. But it really didn't make any other conceptual sense, and doing it after the initial "schedule()" call for the idle thread actually opened up a race: what if the main initialization thread did everything without needing to sleep, and got all the way into user land too? Without actually having scheduled back to the idle thread? Now, in normal circumstances that doesn't ever happen, but it looks like Richard Cochran triggered exactly that on his ARM IXP4xx machines: "I have some ARM IXP4xx based machines that use the two on chip MAC ports (aka NPEs). The NPE needs a firmware in order to function. Ever since the following commit [that 288d5abe one], it is no longer possible to bring up the interfaces during the init scripts." with a call trace showing an ioctl coming from user space. Richard says: "The init is busybox, and the startup script does mount, syslogd, and then ifup, so that all can go by quickly." The fix is to move the usermodehelper_enable() into the main 'init' thread, and just put it after we've done all our initcalls. By then, everything really should be up, but we've obviously not actually started the user-mode portion of init yet.

A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(), Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points as eagerly any more. Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet. With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat family system calls, old and new. So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a result of our bad default behavior.

Currently the the internal oscillator is powered down when entering BIAS_OFF state, but not re-enabled when going back to BIAS_STANDBY.

The concensus seems to be that system calls such as stat() etc should not trigger an automount. Neither should the l* versions. This patch therefore adds a LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag to tag those lookups that _should_ trigger an automount on the last path element. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> [ Edited to leave out the cases that are already covered by LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY and LOOKUP_CREATE - all of which also fundamentally force automounting for their own reasons - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Linus Torvalds authored
Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..) Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid the automount any more). But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup. Some other cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well. This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though. It also doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on LOOKUP_FOLLOW.
