2012-04-09netfilter: nf_ct_tcp: don't scale the size of the window up twiceChangli Gao
For a picked up connection, the window win is scaled twice: one is by the initialization code, and the other is by the sender updating code. I use the temporary variable swin instead of modifying the variable win.

When a slave comes up, we're unsetting the current_arp_slave without removing active flags from it, which can lead to situations where we have more than one slave with active flags in active-backup mode.

A phonet packet is limited to USHRT_MAX bytes, this is never checked during tx which means that the user can specify any size he wishes, and the kernel will attempt to allocate that size.

2012-04-05tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() onceEric Dumazet
commit 2f533844242 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE. We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends stall. Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but with different semantic. For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage() Reported-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: H.K.

2012-04-04mlx4: allocate just enough pages instead of always 4 pagesThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
The driver uses a 2-order allocation, which is too much on architectures like ppc64, which has a 64KiB page. This particular allocation is used for large packet fragments that may have a size of 512, 1024, 4096 or fill the whole allocation. So, a minimum size of 16384 is good enough and will be the same size that is used in architectures of 4KiB sized pages. This will avoid allocation failures that we see when the system is under stress, but still has plenty of memory, like the one below. This will also allow us to set the interface MTU to higher values like 9000, which was not possible on ppc64 without this patch.

2012-04-04sky2: copy received packets on inefficient unaligned architecturestephen hemminger
Modified from original patch from Chris. The sky2 driver has to have 8 byte alignment of receive buffer on some chip versions. On architectures which don't support efficient unaligned access this doesn't work very well. The solution is to just copy all received packets which is what the driver already does for small packets. This allows the driver to be used on the Tilera TILEmpower-Gx, since the tile architecture doesn't currently handle kernel unaligned accesses, just userspace.

2012-04-04net/bonding: correctly proxy slave neigh param setup ndo functionShlomo Pongratz
The current implemenation was buggy for slaves who use ndo_neigh_setup, since the networking stack invokes the bonding device ndo entry (from neigh_params_alloc) before any devices are enslaved, and the bonding driver can't further delegate the call at that point in time. As a result when bonding IPoIB devices, the neigh_cleanup hasn't been called. Fix that by deferring the actual call into the slave ndo_neigh_setup from the time the bonding neigh_setup is called.

2012-04-04sctp: Allow struct sctp_event_subscribe to grow without breaking binariesThomas Graf
getsockopt(..., SCTP_EVENTS, ...) performs a length check and returns an error if the user provides less bytes than the size of struct sctp_event_subscribe. Struct sctp_event_subscribe needs to be extended by an u8 for every new event or notification type that is added. This obviously makes getsockopt fail for binaries that are compiled against an older versions of <net/sctp/user.h> which do not contain all event types. This patch changes getsockopt behaviour to no longer return an error if not enough bytes are being provided by the user. Instead, it returns as much of sctp_event_subscribe as fits into the provided buffer. This leads to the new behavior that users see what they have been aware of at compile time. The setsockopt(..., SCTP_EVENTS, ...) API is already behaving like this. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Without this patch ip101a_config_init returns 2 which is not an error accroding to IS_ERR and the mac driver will continue accessing 2 as valid pointer to phy_dev resulting in memory fault.

2012-04-03ixgbe: driver fix for link flapMultanen, Eric W
Fix up code so that changes in DCB settings are detected only when ixgbe_dcbnl_set_all is called. Previously, a series of 'change' commands followed by a call to ixgbe_dcbnl_set_all() would always be handled as a HW change - even if the net change was zero. This patch checks for this case of no actual change and skips going through the HW set process. Without this fix, the link could reset and result in a link flap. The core change in this patch is to check for changes in the ixgbe_copy_dcb_cfg() routine - and return a bitmask of detected changes. The other places where changes were detected previously can be removed.

2012-04-03bpf jit: Let the x86 jit handle negative offsetsJan Seiffert
Now the helper function from filter.c for negative offsets is exported, it can be used it in the jit to handle negative offsets. First modify the asm load helper functions to handle: - know positive offsets - know negative offsets - any offset then the compiler can be modified to explicitly use these helper when appropriate. This fixes the case of a negative X register and allows to lift the restriction that bpf programs with negative offsets can't be jited.

The explanation of ip_local_port_range in Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt contains several factual errors: - The default value of ip_local_port_range does not depend on the amount of memory available in the system. - tcp_tw_recycle is not enabled by default. - 1024-4999 is not the default value. - Etc.

2012-04-03tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packetsEric Dumazet
vmsplice()/splice(pipe, socket) call do_tcp_sendpages() one page at a time, adding at most 4096 bytes to an skb. (assuming PAGE_SIZE=4096) The call to tcp_push() at the end of do_tcp_sendpages() forces an immediate xmit when pipe is not already filled, and tso_fragment() try to split these skb to MSS multiples. 4096 bytes are usually split in a skb with 2 MSS, and a remaining sub-mss skb (assuming MTU=1500) This makes slow start suboptimal because many small frames are sent to qdisc/driver layers instead of big ones (constrained by cwnd and packets in flight of course) In fact, applications using sendmsg() (adding an additional memory copy) instead of vmsplice()/splice()/sendfile() are a bit faster because of this anomaly, especially if serving small files in environments with large initial [c]wnd. Call tcp_push() only if MSG_MORE is not set in the flags parameter. This bit is automatically provided by splice() internals but for the last page, or on all pages if user specified SPLICE_F_MORE splice() flag. In some workloads, this can reduce number of sent logical packets by an order of magnitude, making zero-copy TCP actually faster than one-copy :) Reported-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: H.K.

2012-04-03ppp: Don't stop and restart queue on every TX packetDavid Woodhouse
For every transmitted packet, ppp_start_xmit() will stop the netdev queue and then, if appropriate, restart it. This causes the TX softirq to run, entirely gratuitously. This is "only" a waste of CPU time in the normal case, but it's actively harmful when the PPP device is a TEQL slave — the wakeup will cause the offending device to receive the next TX packet from the TEQL queue, when it *should* have gone to the next slave in the list. We end up seeing large bursts of packets on just *one* slave device, rather than using the full available bandwidth over all slaves. This patch fixes the problem by *not* unconditionally stopping the queue in ppp_start_xmit(). It adds a return value from ppp_xmit_process() which indicates whether the queue should be stopped or not. It *doesn't* remove the call to netif_wake_queue() from ppp_xmit_process(), because other code paths (especially from ppp_output_wakeup()) need it there and it's messy to push it out to the other callers to do it based on the return value. So we leave it in place — it's a no-op in the case where the queue wasn't stopped, so it's harmless in the TX path. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-04-03net: fix /proc/net/dev regressionEric Dumazet
Commit f04565ddf52 (dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops) added a second regression, as some devices are missing from /proc/net/dev if many devices are defined. When seq_file buffer is filled, the last ->next/show() method is canceled (pos value is reverted to value prior ->next() call) Problem is after above commit, we dont restart the lookup at right position in ->start() method. Fix this by removing the internal 'pos' pointer added in commit, since we need to use the 'loff_t *pos' provided by seq_file layer. This also reverts commit 5cac98dd0 (net: Fix corruption in /proc/*/net/dev_mcast), since its not needed anymore.

Pull drm update from Dave Airlie: "This pull just contains a forward of the Intel fixes from Daniel. The only annoyance is the RC6 enable, which really should have made -next, but since Ubuntu are shipping it I reckon its getting a good testing now by the time 3.4 comes out. The pull from Daniel contains his pull message to me: "A few patches for 3.4, major part is 3 regression fixes: - ppgtt broke hibernate on snb/ivb. Somehow our QA claims that it still works, which is why this has not been caught earlier. - ppgtt flails in combination with dmar. I kinda expected this one :( - fence handling bugfix for gen2/3. Iirc this one is about a year old, fix curtesy Chris Wilson. I've created an shockingly simple i-g-t test to catch this in the future." Wrt regressions I've just got a report that gmbus (newly enabled again in 3.4) is a bit noisy. I'm looking into this atm. Also included are the rc6 enable patches for snb from Eugeni. I wanted to include these in the main 3.4 pull but screwed it up. Please hit me. Imo these kind of patches really should go in before -rc1, but in thise case rc6 has brought us tons of press and guinea pigs^W^W testers and ubuntu is already running with it. So I estimate a pretty small chance for this to blow up. And some smaller things: - two minor locking snafus - server gt2 ivb pciid - 2 patches to sanitize the register state left behind by the bios some more - 2 new quirk entries - cs readback trick against missed IRQs from ivb also enabled on snb - sprite fix from Jesse" Let's see if the "enable RC6 on sandybridge" finally works and sticks. I've been enabling it by hand (i915.i915_enable_rc6=1) for several months on my Macbook Air, and it definitely makes a difference (and has worked for me). But every time we enabled it before it showed some odd hw buglet for *somebody*.
