The virtio_net driver's mergeable receive buffer allocator
uses 4KB packet buffers. For MTU-sized traffic, SKB truesize
is > 4KB but only ~1500 bytes of the buffer is used to store
packet data, reducing the effective TCP window size
substantially. This patch addresses the performance concerns
with mergeable receive buffers by allocating MTU-sized packet
buffers using page frag allocators. If more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS
buffers are needed, the SKB frag_list is used.

====================
6lowpan: trivial changes
This patch series includes some trivial changes to prepare the 6lowpan stack
for upcomming patch-series which mainly fix fragmentation according to rfc4944
and udp handling(which is currently broken).
Changes since v3:
- really fix intendation in patch 3/5
Changes since v2:
- change intendation in patch 3/5
- fix typo in 5/5 unecessary -> unnecessary
- add missing 6lowpan tag in cover-letter

This isn't a real fix to the problem, but rather a stopgap measure while
trying to find a proper solution.
There are several laptops out there that fail to light up the eDP panel
in UEFI boot mode. They seem to be mostly IVB machines, including but
apparently not limited to Dell XPS 13, Asus TX300, Asus UX31A, Asus
UX32VD, Acer Aspire S7. They seem to work in CSM or legacy boot.
The difference between UEFI and CSM is that the BIOS provides a
different VBT to the kernel. The UEFI VBT typically specifies 18 bpp and
1.62 GHz link for eDP, while CSM VBT has 24 bpp and 2.7 GHz link. We end
up clamping to 18 bpp in UEFI mode, which we can fit in the 1.62 Ghz
link, and for reasons yet unknown fail to light up the panel.
Dithering from 24 to 18 bpp itself seems to work; if we use 18 bpp with
2.7 GHz link, the eDP panel lights up. So essentially this is a link
speed issue, and *not* a bpp clamping issue.
The bug raised its head since
commit 657445fe8660100ad174600ebfa61536392b7624
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Date: Sat May 4 10:09:18 2013 +0200
Revert "drm/i915: revert eDP bpp clamping code changes"
which started clamping bpp *before* computing the link requirements, and
thus affecting the required bandwidth. Clamping after the computations
kept the link at 2.7 GHz.
Even though the BIOS tells us to use 18 bpp through the VBT, it happily
boots up at 24 bpp and 2.7 GHz itself! Use this information to
selectively ignore the VBT provided value.
We can't ignore the VBT eDP bpp altogether, as there are other laptops
that do require the clamping to be used due to EDID reporting higher bpp
than the panel can support.

With the removal of the routing cache, we lost the
option to tweak the garbage collector threshold
along with the maximum routing cache size. So git
commit 703fb94ec ("xfrm: Fix the gc threshold value
for ipv4") moved back to a static threshold.
It turned out that the current threshold before we
start garbage collecting is much to small for some
workloads, so increase it from 1024 to 32768. This
means that we start the garbage collector if we have
more than 32768 dst entries in the system and refuse
new allocations if we are above 65536.

Alexei reported a performance regression on vxlan, caused
by commit 3347c9602955 "ipv4: gso: make inet_gso_segment() stackable"
GSO vxlan packets were not properly segmented, adding IP fragments
while they were not expected.
Rename 'bool tunnel' to 'bool encap', and add a new boolean
to express the fact that UDP should be fragmented.
This fragmentation is triggered by skb->encapsulation being set.
Remove a "skb->encapsulation = 1" added in above commit,
as its not needed, as frags inherit skb->frag from original
GSO skb.

Patch ed08495c3 "tcp: use RTT from SACK for RTO" always re-arms RTO upon
obtaining a RTT sample from newly sacked data.
But technically RTO should only be re-armed when the data sent before
the last (re)transmission of write queue head are (s)acked. Otherwise
the RTO may continue to extend during loss recovery on data sent
in the future.
Note that RTTs from ACK or timestamps do not have this problem, as the RTT
source must be from data sent before.
The new RTO re-arm policy is
1) Always re-arm RTO if SND.UNA is advanced
2) Re-arm RTO if sack RTT is available, provided the sacked data was
sent before the last time write_queue_head was sent.

NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER in sleep way, so I didn't admit move the
bond_upper_dev_unlink() in write bond lock.
now the bond_for_each_slave only protect by rtnl_lock(), maybe use
bond_for_each_slave_rcu is a good way to protect slave list for bond,
but as a system slow path, it is no need to transform
bond_for_each_slave() to bond_for_each_slave_rcu() in slow path, so in

The bond slave list may change when the monitor is running, the slave list is no longer
protected by bond->lock, only protected by rtnl lock(), so we have 3 ways to modify it:
1.add bond_master_upper_dev_link() and bond_upper_dev_unlink() in bond->lock, but it is unsafe
to call call_netdevice_notifiers() in write lock.
2.remove unused bond->lock for monitor function, only use the existing rtnl lock().
3.use rcu_read_lock() to protect it, of course, it will transform bond_for_each_slave to
bond_for_each_slave_rcu() and performance is better, but in slow path, it is ignored.
so I remove the bond->lock and move the rtnl lock to protect the whole monitor function.

3.use rcu_read_lock() to protect it, of course, it will transform bond_for_each_slave to
bond_for_each_slave_rcu() and performance is better, but in slow path, it is ignored.
so I remove the bond->lock and move the rtnl lock to protect the whole monitor function.

The bond slave list may change when the monitor is running, the slave list is no longer
protected by bond->lock, only protected by rtnl lock(), so we have 3 ways to modify it:
1.add bond_master_upper_dev_link() and bond_upper_dev_unlink() in bond->lock, but it is unsafe
to call call_netdevice_notifiers() in write lock.
2.remove unused bond->lock for monitor function, only use the existing rtnl lock().
3.use rcu_read_lock() to protect it, of course, it will transform bond_for_each_slave to
bond_for_each_slave_rcu() and performance is better, but in slow path, it is ignored.
so I remove the bond->lock and move the rtnl lock to protect the whole monitor function.

Pull parisc fix from Helge Deller:
"This is a 2-line patch to save the CPU register which holds our task
thread info pointer before calling a firmware function and then to
restore it again afterwards.
This is necessary because on some 64bit machines the high-order 32bits
are being clobbered by the firmware call, and thus we failed to bring
up secondary CPUs (and instead crashed the kernel) in some situations
eg if we had more than 4GB RAM. This patch fixes a bug which has been
since ever in the parisc linux kernel and which prevented some people
to use a 64bit kernel"

Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
"Here are the outstanding target pending fixes for v3.12-rc7.
This includes a number of EXTENDED_COPY related fixes as a result of
Thomas and Doug's continuing testing and feedback.
Also included is an important vhost/scsi fix that addresses a long
standing issue where the 'write' parameter for get_user_pages_fast()
was incorrectly set for virtio-scsi WRITEs -> DMA_TO_DEVICE, and not
for virtio-scsi READs -> DMA_FROM_DEVICE.
This resulted in random userspace segfaults and other unpleasantness
on KVM host, and unfortunately has been an issue since the initial
merge of vhost/scsi in v3.6. This patch is CC'ed to stable, along
with two other less critical items"

Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were
not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the
kernel. The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g.
J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened
when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted.
In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial:
During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch
CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called.
It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and
one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task
thread info pointer.
Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been
detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for
%cr30 - on some machines only the upper 32bits of the 64bit register suddenly
turned zero after the firmware call.
So, after finding the root cause, the explanation for the various crashes
became clear:
- On 32bit SMP Linux kernels all upper 32bit were zero, so we didn't faced this
problem.
- Monarch CPUs in 64bit mode always booted sucessfully, because the inital task
thread info pointer was below 4GB.
- Secondary CPUs booted sucessfully on machines with less than 4GB RAM because
the upper 32bit were zero anyay.
- Secondary CPus failed to boot if we had more than 4GB RAM and the task thread
info pointer was located above the 4GB boundary.
Finally, the patch to fix this problem is trivial by saving the %cr30 register
before the firmware call and restoring it afterwards.
