| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. This is mostly theoretical, but llist_add*() need ACCESS_ONCE(). Otherwise it is not guaranteed that the first cmpxchg() uses the same value for old_entry and new_last->next. 2. These helpers cache the result of cmpxchg() and read the initial value of head->first before the main loop. I do not think this makes sense. In the likely case cmpxchg() succeeds, otherwise it doesn't hurt to reload head->first. I think it would be better to simplify the code and simply read ->first before cmpxchg().

The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...

Then, we could reduce the above statement into something like: printk("... %pIS ..", &sockaddr); In case our pointer is NULL, pointer() then deals with that already at an earlier point in time internally. While we're at it, support for both %piS/%pIS, where 'S' stands for sockaddr, comes (almost) for free. Additionally to that, postfix specifiers 'p', 'f' and 's' are supported as suggested and initially implemented in 2009 by Joe Perches [1]. Handling of those additional specifiers orientate on the initial RFC that was proposed. Also we support IPv6 compressed format specified by 'c' and various other IPv4 extensions as stated in the documentation part. Likely, there are many other areas than just SCTP in the kernel to make use of this extension as well.

The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that specifies the number of bytes to skip the SG list before copying. The main reason for introducing these functions is to fix a problem in scsi_debug module. And there is a local function in crypto/talitos module, which can be replaced by sg_pcopy_to_buffer(). This patch: sg_miter_get_next_page() is used to proceed page iterator to the next page if necessary, and will be used to implement the variants of sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() later.

LZ4 is a very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely fast decoder [1]. But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2]. Russell King said that we should have: - one decompressor which is the fastest - one decompressor for the highest compression ratio - one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip) If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly that: replace it. The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase in decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the fastest decompressor in the Kernel).

They are just scattered all over the "Kernel Hacking" menu. Sure, "memory debugging" is a very vague term and it's going to be hard to make absolute rules about what goes in here, but this has to be better than what we had before. This does, however, leave out the architecture-specific memory debugging options (like x86's DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX). There would need to be some substantial changes to move those in here. Kconfig can not easily mix arch-specific and generic options together: it really requires a file per-architecture, and I think having an arch/foo/Kconfig.debug-memory might be taking things a bit too far Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In a contrived microbench which repeats the followings, - percpu_ref_get() - copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer - percpu_put_get() - copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer rcu_read_[un]lock() used in percpu_ref_get/put() makes it go slower by about 15% when compared to using sched-RCU. As the RCU critical sections are extremely short, using sched-RCU shouldn't have any latency implications. Convert to RCU-sched.

Because the refcnt is per-cpu, different CPUs will start to see a refcnt as killed at different points in time and tryget() may continue to succeed on subset of cpus for a while after percpu_ref_kill() returns. For use cases where it's necessary to know when all CPUs start to see the refcnt as dead, percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() is added. The new function takes an extra argument @confirm_kill which is invoked when the refcnt is guaranteed to be viewed as killed on all CPUs. While this isn't the prettiest interface, it doesn't force synchronous wait and is much safer than requiring the caller to do its own call_rcu(). v2: Patch description rephrased to emphasize that tryget() may continue to succeed on some CPUs after kill() returns as suggested by Kent. v3: Function comment in percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() updated warning people to not depend on the implied RCU grace period from the confirm callback as it's an implementation detail.

This patch implements percpu_ref_cancel_init() which synchronously destroys the percpu_ref without invoking release.

It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the percpu counts. Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate barriers (synchronize_rcu()). It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown synchronization.

This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users where contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock avoidance algorithm is only needed for correctness against malicious userspace. An example would be protecting kernel modesetting properties, which thanks to single-threaded X isn't really expected to contend, ever. I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION infrastructure, but decided against it for two reasons: - EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should never affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM injection. So fine configurability isn't required. - The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)). The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N) lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition paths) without running into patalogical cases. Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users which rely on the EALREADY semantics.
