Adding a device with limited QMI support. It does not support normal QMI_WDS commands for connection management. Instead, sending a QMI_CTL SET_INSTANCE_ID command is required to enable the network interface: 01 0f 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 04 00 01 01 00 00 A number of QMI_DMS and QMI_NAS commands are also supported for optional device management.

we set max_prioidx to the first zero bit index of prioidx_map in function get_prioidx. So when we delete the low index netprio cgroup and adding a new netprio cgroup again,the max_prioidx will be set to the low index. when we set the high index cgroup's net_prio.ifpriomap,the function write_priomap will call update_netdev_tables to alloc memory which size is sizeof(struct netprio_map) + sizeof(u32) * (max_prioidx + 1), so the size of array that map->priomap point to is max_prioidx +1, which is low than what we actually need. fix this by adding check in get_prioidx,only set max_prioidx when max_prioidx low than the new prioidx.

With lockdep enabled we get: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 3.4.4-Cavium-Octeon+ #313 Not tainted --------------------------------------------- kworker/u:1/36 is trying to acquire lock: (&bus->mdio_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff813da7e8>] mdio_mux_read+0x38/0xa0 but task is already holding lock: (&bus->mdio_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff813d79e4>] mdiobus_read+0x44/0x88 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&bus->mdio_lock); lock(&bus->mdio_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation . . . This is a false positive, since we are indeed using 'nested' locking, we need to use mutex_lock_nested(). Now in theory we can stack multiple MDIO multiplexers, but that would require passing the nesting level (which is difficult to know) to mutex_lock_nested(). Instead we assume the simple case of a single level of nesting. Since these are only warning messages, it isn't so important to solve the general case.

DCB and SR-IOV cannot currently be enabled at the same time as the queueing schemes are incompatible. If they are both enabled it will result in Tx hangs since only the first Tx queue will be able to transmit any traffic. This simple fix for this is to block us from enabling TCs in ixgbe_setup_tc if SR-IOV is enabled. This change will be reverted once we can support SR-IOV and DCB coexistence.

Fix two netem bugs : 1) When a frame was dropped by tfifo_enqueue(), drop counter was incremented twice. 2) When reordering is triggered, we enqueue a packet without checking queue limit. This can OOM pretty fast when this is repeated enough, since skbs are orphaned, no socket limit can help in this situation.

commit a1c7fff7 (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) broke b44 on some 64bit machines. It appears b44 and b43 use __netdev_alloc_skb() instead of alloc_skb() for their bounce buffers. There is no need to add an extra NET_SKB_PAD reservation for bounce buffers : - In TX path, NET_SKB_PAD is useless - In RX path in b44, we force a copy of incoming frames if GFP_DMA allocations were needed.

Linus Torvalds authored
In commit 070ad7e7 ("floppy: convert to delayed work and single-thread wq") the 'fd_timeout' timer was converted to a delayed work. However, the "del_timer(&fd_timeout)" was lost in the process, and any previous pending timeouts would stay active when we then re-queued the timeout. This resulted in the floppy probe sequence having a (stale) 20s timeout rather than the intended 3s timeout, and thus made booting with the floppy driver (but no actual floppy controller) take much longer than it should. Of course, there's little reason for most people to compile the floppy driver into the kernel at all, which is why most people never noticed. Canceling the delayed work where we used to do the del_timer() fixes the issue, and makes the floppy probing use the proper new timeout instead. The three second timeout is still very wasteful, but better than the 20s one.

Userland sometimes sees a corrupt metadata block if metadata is changing rapidly when a metadata snapshot is reserved for userland, To make the problem go away, commit before we take the metadata snapshot (which is a sensible thing to do anyway). The checksums mean userland spots this corruption immediately so there's no risk of acting on incorrect data. No corruption exists from the kernel's point of view, and thin_check passes after pool shutdown. I believe this is to do with shared blocks at the first level of the {device, mapping} btree. Prior to the metadata-snap support no sharing at this level was possible, so this patch is only required after commit cc8394d8 ("dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata").

Especially vesafb likes to map everything as uc- (yikes), and if that mapping hangs around still while we try to map the gtt as wc the kernel will downgrade our request to uc-, resulting in abyssal performance. Unfortunately we can't do this as early as readon does (i.e. as the first thing we do when initializing the hw) because our fb/mmio space region moves around on a per-gen basis. So I've had to move it below the gtt initialization, but that seems to work, too. The important thing is that we do this before we set up the gtt wc mapping. Now an altogether different question is why people compile their kernels with vesafb enabled, but I guess making things just work isn't bad per se ... v2: - s/radeondrmfb/inteldrmfb/ - fix up error handling v3: Kill #ifdef X86, this is Intel after all. Noticed by Ben Widawsky. v4: Jani Nikula complained about the pointless bool primary initialization. v5: Don't oops if we can't allocate, noticed by Chris Wilson. v6: Resolve conflicts with agp rework and fixup whitespace. This is commit e188719a in drm-next. Backport to 3.5 -fixes queue requested by Dave Airlie - due to grub using vesa on fedora their initrd seems to load vesafb before loading the real kms driver. So tons more people actually experience a dead-slow gpu. Hence also the Cc: stable.

When a monitor EDID doesn't give the preferred bit, driver assumes that the mode with the higest resolution and rate is the preferred mode. Meanwhile the recent changes for allowing more modes in the GFT/CVT ranges give actually more modes, and some modes may be over the native size. Thus such a mode would be picked up as the preferred mode although it's no native resolution. For avoiding such a problem, this patch limits the addition of inferred modes by checking not to be greater than other modes. Also, it checks the duplicated mode entry at the same time.

The value returned by "mddev_check_plug" is only valid until the next 'schedule' as that will unplug things. This could happen at any call to mempool_alloc. So just calling mddev_check_plug at the start doesn't really make sense. So call it just before, or just after, queuing things for the thread. As the action that happens at unplug is to wake the thread, this makes lots of sense. If we cannot add a plug (which requires a small GFP_ATOMIC alloc) we wake thread immediately. RAID5 is a bit different. Requests are queued for the thread and the thread is woken by release_stripe. So we don't need to wake the thread on failure. However the thread doesn't perform certain actions when there is any active plug, so it is important to install a plug before waking the thread. So for RAID5 we install the plug *before* queuing the request and waking the thread. Without this patch it is possible for raid1 or raid10 to queue a request without then waking the thread, resulting in the array locking up. Also change raid10 to only flush_pending_write when there are not active plugs, just like raid1. This patch is suitable for 3.0 or later. I plan to submit it to -stable, but I'll like to let it spend a few weeks in mainline first to be sure it is completely safe. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

We currently only allow a device to be re-added if it appear to be in-sync. This is overly restrictive as it may be desirable to re-add a device that is in the middle of recovery. So remove the test for "InSync" - the test on rdev->raid_disk is sufficient to ensure that the re-add will succeed.

When we added hot_replace we doubled the number of devices that could be in a RAID1 array. So we doubled how far read_balance would search. Unfortunately we didn't double the point at which it looped back to the beginning - so it effectively loops over all non-replacement disks twice. This doesn't cause bad behaviour, but it pointless and means we never read from replacement devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Pull a couple more powerpc fixes from Benjamin Herrenschmidt: "Here are two more fixes that I "missed" when scrubbing patchwork last week which are worth still having in 3.5." * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/kvm: sldi should be sld powerpc/xmon: Use cpumask iterator to avoid warning

commit 43220aa0 md/raid5: fix a hang on device failure. fixed a hang, but introduced a refcounting in-balance so that if the presence of bad-blocks ever caused an rdev to be 'blocked' we would increment the refcount on the rdev and never decrement it. So added the needed rdev_dec_pending when md_wait_for_blocked_rdev is not called. Reported-by: majianpeng <majianpeng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Add blk_plug in sync_thread will increase the performance of sync. Because sync_thread did not blk_plug,so when raid sync, the bio merge not well.
