Fix merge between commit 3adadc08 ("net ax25: Reorder ax25_exit to remove races") and commit 0ca7a4c8 ("net ax25: Simplify and cleanup the ax25 sysctl handling") The former moved around the sysctl register/unregister calls, the later simply removed them.

Commit 35f3d14d (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added a slowdown for splice(socket -> pipe), as we might grow the spd used in skb_splice_bits() for each skb we process in splice() syscall. Its not needed since skb lengths are capped. The default on-stack arrays are more than enough. Use MAX_SKB_FRAGS instead of PIPE_DEF_BUFFERS to describe the reasonable limit per skb. Add coalescing support to help splicing of GRO skbs built from linear skbs (linked into frag_list) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit c8628155 (tcp: reduce out_of_order memory use) took care of coalescing tcp segments provided by legacy devices (linear skbs) We extend this idea to fragged skbs, as their truesize can be heavy. ixgbe for example uses 256+1024+PAGE_SIZE/2 = 3328 bytes per segment. Use this coalescing strategy for receive queue too. This contributes to reduce number of tcp collapses, at minimal cost, and reduces memory overhead and packets drops.

Following patch adds afex multifunction support to the driver (afex multifunction is based on vntag header) and updates FW version used to 7.2.51. Support includes the following: 1. Configure vif parameters in firmware (default vlan, vif id, default priority, allowed priorities) according to values received from NIC. 2. Configure FW to strip/add default vlan according to afex vlan mode. 3. Notify link up to OS only after vif is fully initialized. 4. Support vif list set/get requests and configure FW accordingly. 5. Supply afex statistics upon request from NIC. 6. Special handling to L2 interface in case of FCoE vif.

Moving to interrupts instead of polling fpr TX completions Avoiding situations where skb can be held in by the driver for a long time (till timer expires). The change is also necessary for supporting BQL. Removing comp_lock that was required because we could handle TX completions from several contexts: Interrupts, timer, polling.

While investigating TCP performance problems on 10Gb+ links, we found a tcp sender was dropping lot of incoming ACKS because of sk_rcvbuf limit in sk_add_backlog(), especially if receiver doesnt use GRO/LRO and sends one ACK every two MSS segments. A sender usually tweaks sk_sndbuf, but sk_rcvbuf stays at its default value (87380), allowing a too small backlog. A TCP ACK, even being small, can consume nearly same truesize space than outgoing packets. Using sk_rcvbuf + sk_sndbuf as a limit makes sense and is fast to compute. Performance results on netperf, single flow, receiver with disabled GRO/LRO : 7500 Mbits instead of 6050 Mbits, no more TCPBacklogDrop increments at sender.

sk_add_backlog() & sk_rcvqueues_full() hard coded sk_rcvbuf as the memory limit. We need to make this limit a parameter for TCP use.

Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390 3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap() tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and radix_tree. That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set (causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the radix_tree slot is empty. We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up before the SetPageSwapCache. But a better fix is simply to do what's five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() (if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too. s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.

NeilBrown authored
commit c744a65c md: don't set md arrays to readonly on shutdown. removed the possibility of a 'BUG' when data is written to an array that has just been switched to read-only, but also introduced the possibility that the array metadata could be corrupted. If, when md_notify_reboot gets the mddev lock, the array is in a state where it is assembled but hasn't been started (as can happen if the personality module is not available, or in other unusual situations), then incorrect metadata will be written out making it impossible to re-assemble the array. So only call __md_stop_writes() if the array has actually been activated. This patch is needed for any stable kernel which has had the above commit applied.

Commit 7bfec5f3 md/raid5: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement. cause md_check_recovery to call ->add_disk much more often. Instead of only when the array is degraded, it is now called whenever md_check_recovery finds anything useful to do, which includes updating the metadata for clean<->dirty transition. This causes unnecessary work, and causes info messages from ->add_disk to be reported much too often. So refine md_check_recovery to only do any actual recovery checking (including ->add_disk) if MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set. This fix is suitable for 3.3.y: Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Jan Ceuleers <jan.ceuleers@computer.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

This gets rid of the unused default senses array, and replaces the incorrect use of IRQ_TYPE_NONE with the new IRQ_TYPE_DEFAULT for the initial set_trigger() call when mapping an interrupt. This in turn makes us read the HW state and update the irq desc accordingly. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
This is meant typically to allow a PIC driver's irq domain map() callback to establish sane defaults for the interrupt (and make sure that the HW and the irq_desc are in sync as far as the trigger is concerned). The irq core may not call the set_trigger callback if it thinks the trigger is already set to the right setting, so we need to ensure new descriptors are properly synchronized with the hardware.

mpic_is_ipi() takes a virq and immediately converts it to a hw_irq. However, one of the two call sites calls it with a ... hw_irq. The other call site also happens to have the hw_irq at hand, so let's change it to just take that as an argument. Also change mpic_is_tm() for consistency.

If the interrupt and the timeout happen roughly at the same time, we can get into a situation where the timer function is run while the interrupt has already been processed. In this case, the timer function might end up doing an add_timer on an already pending timer, causing a BUG_ON() to trigger. Instead, just skip the whole timeout operation if we see that the timer is pending. The spinlock ensures that the only way that happens is if we already started a new operation and thus the timeout can be ignored. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The problem was reported by Anton Blanchard. While EEH error happened to the PCI device without the corresponding device driver, kernel crash was seen. Eventually, I successfully reproduced the problem on Firebird-L machine with utility "errinjct". Initially, the device driver for Emulex ethernet MAC has been disabled from .config and force data parity on the Emulex ethernet MAC with help of "errinjct". Eventually, I saw the kernel crash after issueing couple of "lspci -v" command. The root cause behind is that the PCI device, including the reference to the corresponding eeh device, will be removed from the system while EEH does recovery. Afterwards, the PCI device will be probed again and added into the system accordingly. So it's not safe to retrieve the eeh device from the corresponding PCI device after the PCI device has been removed and not added again. The patch fixes the issue and retrieve the eeh device from OF node instead of PCI device after the PCI device has been removed.

Commit f5fff5dc forgot to fix TCP_MAXSEG behavior IPv6 sockets, so IPv6 TCP server sockets that used TCP_MAXSEG would find that the advmss of child sockets would be incorrect. This commit mirrors the advmss logic from tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock. Eventually this logic should probably be shared between IPv4 and IPv6, but this at least fixes this issue.
