Currently mac80211 determines whether HW does fragmentation by checking whether the set_frag_threshold callback is set or not. However, some drivers may want to set the HW fragmentation capability depending on HW generation. Allow this by checking a HW flag instead of checking the callback. Signed-off-by:

When the driver sets the SUPPORTS_REORDERING_BUFFER hardware flag, the debugfs data for RX aggregation sessions won't even indicate that a session is open. Since the previous fix to store the dialog token separately, we can indicate that it's open and add the token so that there's at least some data (ssn is not available.) Signed-off-by: -

On drivers setting the SUPPORTS_REORDERING_BUFFER hardware flag, we crash when the peer sends an AddBA request while we already have a session open on the seame TID; this is because on those drivers, the tid_agg_rx is left NULL even though the session is valid, and the agg_session_valid bit is set. To fix this, store the dialog tokens outside the tid_agg_rx to be able to compare them to the received AddBA request.

This commit provides a mechanism for the host drivers to advertise the support for different beacon intervals among the respective interface combinations in a group, through NL80211_IFACE_COMB_BI_MIN_GCD (u32). This value will be compared against GCD of all beaconing interfaces of matching combinations. If the driver doesn't advertise this value, the old behaviour where all beacon intervals must be identical is retained. If it is specified, then any beacon interval for an interface in the interface combination as well as the GCD of all active beacon intervals in the combination must be greater or equal to this value.

Michael Braun reported that when trying to inject A-MSDUs over monitor interfaces, the frame doesn't come out right since the QoS header A-MSDU bit is overwritten. Rather than adding that bit specifically simply preserve those bits that we don't set here, since we typically get here with a zeroed-out QoS header anyway. Signed-off-by: -

This patch adds filtering for multicast data packets on AP_VLAN interfaces that have no authorized station connected and changes filtering on AP interfaces to not count stations assigned to AP_VLAN interfaces. This saves airtime and avoids waking up other stations currently authorized in this BSS. When using WPA, the packets dropped could not be decrypted by any station. The behaviour when there are no AP_VLAN interfaces is left unchanged. When there are AP_VLAN interfaces, this patch 1. adds filtering multicast data packets sent on AP_VLAN interfaces that have no authorized station connected. No filtering happens on 4addr AP_VLAN interfaces. 2. makes filtering of multicast data packets sent on AP interfaces depend on the number of authorized stations in this bss not assigned to an AP_VLAN interface. Therefore, a new num_mcast_sta counter is added for AP_VLAN interfaces. The existing one for AP interfaces is altered to not track stations assigned to an AP_VLAN interface. The new counter is exposed in debugfs. Signed-off-by:

Checking for num_mcast_sta in __ieee80211_request_smps_ap() is unnecessary as sta list will be empty in this case anyway, so the list iteration will just exit immediately. Since this isn't a "hot" code path, it doesn't really matter, and the next patch will redefine num_mcast_sta to make this check invalid. Signed-off-by:

Instead of building the multi-channel ops at runtime, declare the common ops with a macro and build both that way, so that the multi-channel ops can also be const.

mapping->flags currently encodes two different things into a single flag. It contains sticky gfp_mask for page cache allocations and AS_ codes used to report errors/enospace and other states which are mapping specific. Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it also complicates other things. For one thing the gfp flags space is reduced and in fact we are already running out of available bits. It can be assumed that more gfp flags will be necessary later on. To not introduce the address_space grow (at least on x86_64) we can stick it right after private_lock because we have a hole there. struct address_space { struct inode * host; /* 0 8 */ struct radix_tree_root page_tree; /* 8 16 */ spinlock_t tree_lock; /* 24 4 */ atomic_t i_mmap_writable; /* 28 4 */ struct rb_root i_mmap; /* 32 8 */ struct rw_semaphore i_mmap_rwsem; /* 40 40 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */ long unsigned int nrpages; /* 80 8 */ long unsigned int nrexceptional; /* 88 8 */ long unsigned int writeback_index; /* 96 8 */ const struct address_space_operations * a_ops; /* 104 8 */ long unsigned int flags; /* 112 8 */ spinlock_t private_lock; /* 120 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ struct list_head private_list; /* 128 16 */ void * private_data; /* 144 8 */ /* size: 152, cachelines: 3, members: 14 */ /* sum members: 148, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160912114852.GI14524@dhcp22.suse.czSigned-off-by:Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Signed-off-by:

Check if hung_task_panic is enabled so we don't return prematurely, and check if hung_task_warnings is non-zero so we don't print the warning unnecessarily.

This patch allows to make kthread worker freezable via a new @flags parameter. It will allow to avoid an init work in some kthreads. It currently does not affect the function of kthread_worker_fn() but it might help to do some optimization or fixes eventually. I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags parameter but I believe that we will want more flags in the future. Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member in struct kthread. Well, I guess that we will want to rework the basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge the two structures.

There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event happens. This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues. It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it again with the given timeout. A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time. It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync() or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running. This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier. First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been queued after it was initialized. Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between. Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to avoid any queuing. Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be the list of either normal or delayed works. Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter. As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use kthread_flush_work(). Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works will be pretty useful. The implementation is inspired by workqueues. It uses a timer to queue the work after the requested delay. If the delay is zero, the work is queued immediately. In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker (kthread). Therefore the implementation could be much easier. In particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with the work. We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable. In fact, we do not need any state variable at all. Instead, we add a list of delayed works into the worker. Then the pending work is listed either in the list of queued or delayed works. And the existing check of pending works is the same even for the delayed ones. A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized. Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid and it could simply take the lock. We just add some sanity checks to help with debugging a potential misuse.

Nothing currently prevents a work from queuing for a kthread worker when it is already running on another one. This means that the work might run in parallel on more than one worker. Also some operations are not reliable, e.g. flush. This problem will be even more visible after we add kthread_cancel_work() function. It will only have "work" as the parameter and will use worker->lock to synchronize with others. Well, normally this is not a problem because the API users are sane. But bugs might happen and users also might be crazy. This patch adds a warning when we try to insert the work for another worker. It does not fully prevent the misuse because it would make the code much more complicated without a big benefit. It adds the same warning also into kthread_flush_work() instead of the repeated attempts to get the right lock. A side effect is that one needs to explicitly reinitialize the work if it must be queued into another worker. This is needed, for example, when the worker is stopped and started again. It is a bit inconvenient. But it looks like a good compromise between the stability and complexity. I have double checked all existing users of the kthread worker API and they all seems to initialize the work after the worker gets started. Just for completeness, the patch adds a check that the work is not already in a queue. The patch also puts all the checks into a separate function. It will be reused when implementing delayed works.

Kthread workers are currently created using the classic kthread API, namely kthread_run(). kthread_worker_fn() is passed as the @threadfn parameter. This patch defines kthread_create_worker() and kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() functions that hide implementation details. They enforce using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread. But I doubt that there are any plans to create any alternative. In fact, I think that we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be hard to support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API. The naming and function of kthread_create_worker() is inspired by the workqueues API like the rest of the kthread worker API. The kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() variant is motivated by the original kthread_create_on_cpu(). Note that we need to bind per-CPU kthread workers already when they are created. It makes the life easier. kthread_bind() could not be used later for an already running worker. This patch does _not_ convert existing kthread workers. The kthread worker API need more improvements first, e.g. a function to destroy the worker. IMPORTANT: kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() allows to use any format of the worker name, in compare with kthread_create_on_cpu(). The good thing is that it is more generic. The bad thing is that most users will need to pass the cpu number in two parameters, e.g. kthread_create_worker_on_cpu(cpu, "helper/%d", cpu). To be honest, the main motivation was to avoid the need for an empty va_list. The only legal way was to create a helper function that would be called with an empty list. Other attempts caused compilation warnings or even errors on different architectures. There were also other alternatives, for example, using #define or splitting __kthread_create_worker(). The used solution looked like the least ugly. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-6-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.comSigned-off-by:

kthread_create_on_cpu() was added by the commit 2a1d4460 ("kthread: Implement park/unpark facility"). It is currently used only when enabling new CPU. For this purpose, the newly created kthread has to be parked. The CPU binding is a bit tricky. The kthread is parked when the CPU has not been allowed yet. And the CPU is bound when the kthread is unparked. The function would be useful for more per-CPU kthreads, e.g. bnx2fc_thread, fcoethread. For this purpose, the newly created kthread should stay in the uninterruptible state. This patch moves the parking into smpboot. It binds the thread already when created. Then the function might be used universally. Also the behavior is consistent with kthread_create() and kthread_create_on_node().

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the subsystem. The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem. This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by kthread_: __init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker() init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker() init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work() insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work() queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work() flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work() flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker() Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has precedence over the subsystem names. Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several reasons for this solution: + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize" aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer". + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros + init() functions are used close to the other kthread() functions. It looks much better if all the functions use the same scheme. + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related to the init() function. Again it looks better if all functions use the same naming scheme. + there are several precedents for such init() function names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(), jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(), + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

Patch series "kthread: Kthread worker API improvements" The intention of this patchset is to make it easier to manipulate and maintain kthreads. Especially, I want to replace all the custom main cycles with a generic one. Also I want to make the kthreads sleep in a consistent state in a common place when there is no work. This patch (of 11): A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the subsystem. This patch fixes the name of probe_kthread_data(). The other wrong functions names are part of the kthread worker API and will be fixed separately. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-2-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.comSigned-off-by:

Vim, with the omnicppcomplete(#1) plugin, can do code completion using information build by ctags. Add flags needed by omnicppcomplete(#2) to have completion on member of structure. 1: https://github.com/vim-scripts/omnicppcomplete 2: https://github.com/vim-scripts/OmniCppComplete/blob/master/doc/omnicppcomplete.txt#L93 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160830191546.4469-1-mathieu.maret@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak. The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping: kmemleak_alloc_phys kmemleak_free_part_phys kmemleak_not_leak_phys kmemleak_ignore_phys The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak API.

KASLR memory randomization can randomize the base of the physical memory mapping (PAGE_OFFSET), vmalloc (VMALLOC_START) and vmemmap (VMEMMAP_START). Adding these variables on VMCOREINFO so tools can easily identify the base of each memory section. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1471531632-23003-1-git-send-email-thgarnie@google.comSigned-off-by:

In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel a softlockup was observed while the for loop in exit_sem. Apparently it's possible for the loop to take quite a long time and it doesn't have a scheduling point in it. Since the codes is executing under an rcu read section this may also cause rcu stalls, which in turn block synchronize_rcu operations, which more or less de-stabilises the whole system. Fix this by introducing a cond_resched() at the beginning of the loop. So this patch fixes the following: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#10 stuck for 23s!
