2013-10-01be2net: add a counter for pkts dropped in xmit pathSathya Perla
In the xmit path, the driver may drop some pkts due to reasons such as DMA mapping errors, out of memory conditions or to protect HW from unrecoverable errors. Add a counter in TX-stats for such drops. Signed-off-by: Sathya Perla <sathya.perla@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-10-01be2net: fix adaptive interrupt coalescingSathya Perla
The current EQ delay calculation for AIC is based only on RX packet rate. This fails to be effective when there's only TX and no RX. This patch inclues: - Calculating EQ-delay based on both RX and TX pps. - Modifying EQ-delay of all EQs via one cmd, instead of issuing a separate cmd for each EQ. - A new structure to store interrupt coalescing parameters, in a separate cache-line from the EQ-obj.

2013-10-01ip_tunnel: Remove double unregister of the fallback deviceSteffen Klassert
When queueing the netdevices for removal, we queue the fallback device twice in ip_tunnel_destroy(). The first time when we queue all netdevices in the namespace and then again explicitly. Fix this by removing the explicit queueing of the fallback device. Bug was introduced when network namespace support was added with commit 6c742e714d8 ("ipip: add x-netns support").

2013-09-30bonding: Fix broken promiscuity reference counting issueNeil Horman
Recently grabbed this report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005567 Of an issue in which the bonding driver, with an attached vlan encountered the following errors when bond0 was taken down and back up: dummy1: promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of device might be broken. The error occurs because, during __bond_release_one, if we release our last slave, we take on a random mac address and issue a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification. With an attached vlan, the vlan may see that the vlan and bond mac address were in sync, but no longer are. This triggers a call to dev_uc_add and dev_set_rx_mode, which enables IFF_PROMISC on the bond device. Then, when we complete __bond_release_one, we use the current state of the bond flags to determine if we should decrement the promiscuity of the releasing slave. But since the bond changed promiscuity state during the release operation, we incorrectly decrement the slave promisc count when it wasn't in promiscuous mode to begin with, causing the above error Fix is pretty simple, just cache the bonding flags at the start of the function and use those when determining the need to set promiscuity. This is also needed for the ALLMULTI flag CC: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> CC: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> CC: Mark Wu <wudxw@linux.vnet.ibm.com> CC: "David S.

2013-09-30tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limitEric Dumazet
When TCP Small Queues was added, we used a sysctl to limit amount of packets queues on Qdisc/device queues for a given TCP flow. Problem is this limit is either too big for low rates, or too small for high rates. Now TCP stack has rate estimation in sk->sk_pacing_rate, and TSO auto sizing, it can better control number of packets in Qdisc/device queues. New limit is two packets or at least 1 to 2 ms worth of packets. Low rates flows benefit from this patch by having even smaller number of packets in queues, allowing for faster recovery, better RTT estimations. High rates flows benefit from this patch by allowing more than 2 packets in flight as we had reports this was a limiting factor to reach line rate. [ In particular if TX completion is delayed because of coalescing parameters ] Example for a single flow on 10Gbp link controlled by FQ/pacing 14 packets in flight instead of 2 $ tc -s -d qd qdisc fq 8001: dev eth0 root refcnt 32 limit 10000p flow_limit 100p buckets 1024 quantum 3028 initial_quantum 15140 Sent 1168459366606 bytes 771822841 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 6822476) rate 9346Mbit 771713pps backlog 953820b 14p requeues 6822476 2047 flow, 2046 inactive, 1 throttled, delay 15673 ns 2372 gc, 0 highprio, 0 retrans, 9739249 throttled, 0 flows_plimit Note that sk_pacing_rate is currently set to twice the actual rate, but this might be refined in the future when a flow is in congestion avoidance.

2013-09-30xen-netback: improve ring effeciency for guest RXWei Liu
There was a bug that netback routines netbk/xenvif_skb_count_slots and netbk/xenvif_gop_frag_copy disagreed with each other, which caused netback to push wrong number of responses to netfront, which caused netfront to eventually crash. The bug was fixed in 6e43fc04a ("xen-netback: count number required slots for an skb more carefully"). Commit 6e43fc04a focused on backport-ability. The drawback with the existing packing scheme is that the ring is not used effeciently, as stated in 6e43fc04a. skb->data like: | 1111|222222222222|3333 | is arranged as: |1111 |222222222222|3333 | If we can do this: |111122222222|22223333 | That would save one ring slot, which improves ring effeciency. This patch effectively reverts 6e43fc04a. That patch made count_slots agree with gop_frag_copy, while this patch goes the other way around -- make gop_frag_copy agree with count_slots. The end result is that they still agree with each other, and the ring is now arranged like: |111122222222|22223333 | The patch that improves packing was first posted by Xi Xong and Matt Wilson. I only rebase it on top of net-next and rewrite commit message, so I retain all their SoBs. For more infomation about the original bug please refer to email listed below and commit message of 6e43fc04a.

2013-09-30pidns: fix free_pid() to handle the first fork failureOleg Nesterov
"case 0" in free_pid() assumes that disable_pid_allocation() should clear PIDNS_HASH_ADDING before the last pid goes away. However this doesn't happen if the first fork() fails to create the child reaper which should call disable_pid_allocation(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: "Eric W.

2013-09-30ipc,msg: prevent race with rmid in msgsnd,msgrcvDavidlohr Bueso
This fixes a race in both msgrcv() and msgsnd() between finding the msg and actually dealing with the queue, as another thread can delete shmid underneath us if we are preempted before acquiring the kern_ipc_perm.lock. Manfred illustrates this nicely: Assume a preemptible kernel that is preempted just after msq = msq_obtain_object_check(ns, msqid) in do_msgrcv(). The only lock that is held is rcu_read_lock(). Now the other thread processes IPC_RMID. When the first task is resumed, then it will happily wait for messages on a deleted queue. Fix this by checking for if the queue has been deleted after taking the lock.

2013-09-30ipc/sem.c: update sem_otime for all operationsManfred Spraul
In commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), the update of semaphore's sem_otime(last semop time) was moved to one central position (do_smart_update). But since do_smart_update() is only called for operations that modify the array, this means that wait-for-zero semops do not update sem_otime anymore. The fix is simple: Non-alter operations must update sem_otime.

2013-09-30mm/hwpoison: fix the lack of one reference count against poisoned pageWanpeng Li
The lack of one reference count against poisoned page for hwpoison_inject w/o hwpoison_filter enabled result in hwpoison detect -1 users still referenced the page, however, the number should be 0 except the poison handler held one after successfully unmap. This patch fix it by hold one referenced count against poisoned page for hwpoison_inject w/ and w/o hwpoison_filter enabled.
