2017-04-02net: stmmac: fix cbs configurationJoao Pinto
Sending again, because forgot to include net-dev. The QoS IP does not accept AVB capabilities to default/queue 0, this way we guarantee 75% bandwidth for AVB. This patch assures that only queues >= 1 gets CBS confgured. Additional info was also added to stmmac.txt.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/next-queue Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-23 This series contains updates to i40e and i40e.txt documentation. Jake provides all the changes in the series which are centered around ntuple filter fixes and additional support. Fixed the current implementation of .set_rxnfc, where we were not reading the mask field for filter entries which was resulting in filters not behaving as expected and not working correctly. When cleaning up after disabling flow director support, ensure that the default input set is correctly reprogrammed. Since the hardware only supports a single input set for all flows of that type, the driver shall only allow the input set to change if there are no other configured filters for that flow type, so add support to detect when we can update the input set for each flow type. Align the driver to other drivers to partition the ring_cookie value into 8bits of VF index, along with 32bits of queue number instead of using the user-def field. Added support to parse the user-def field into a data structure format to allow future extensions of the user-def filed by keeping all the code that read/writes the field into a single location. Added support for flexible payloads passed via ethtool user-def field. We support a single flexible word (2byte) value per protocol type, and we handle the FLX_PIT register using a list of flexible entries so that each flow type may be configured separately. Enabled flow director filters for SCTPv4 packets using the ethtool ntuple interface to enable filters. Updated the documentation on the i40e driver to include the newly added support to ntuple filters. Reduced complexity of a if-continue-else-break section of code by taking advantage of using hlist_for_each_entry_continue() instead. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-03-24net: Add sysctl to toggle early demux for tcp and udpsubashab@codeaurora.org
Certain system process significant unconnected UDP workload. It would be preferrable to disable UDP early demux for those systems and enable it for TCP only. By disabling UDP demux, we see these slight gains on an ARM64 system- 782 -> 788Mbps unconnected single stream UDPv4 633 -> 654Mbps unconnected UDPv4 different sources The performance impact can change based on CPU architecure and cache sizes. There will not much difference seen if entire UDP hash table is in cache. Both sysctls are enabled by default to preserve existing behavior. v1->v2: Change function pointer instead of adding conditional as suggested by Stephen. v2->v3: Read once in callers to avoid issues due to compiler optimizations. Also update commit message with the tests. v3->v4: Store and use read once result instead of querying pointer again incorrectly. v4->v5: Refactor to avoid errors due to compilation with IPV6={m,n} Signed-off-by: Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan <subashab@codeaurora.org> Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Cc: Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-03-22net: ipv6: Add sysctl for minimum prefix len acceptable in RIOs.Joel Scherpelz
This commit adds a new sysctl accept_ra_rt_info_min_plen that defines the minimum acceptable prefix length of Route Information Options. The new sysctl is intended to be used together with accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen to configure a range of acceptable prefix lengths. It is useful to prevent misconfigurations from unintentionally blackholing too much of the IPv6 address space (e.g., home routers announcing RIOs for fc00::/7, which is incorrect).

2017-03-21net: ipv4: add support for ECMP hash policy choiceNikolay Aleksandrov
This patch adds support for ECMP hash policy choice via a new sysctl called fib_multipath_hash_policy and also adds support for L4 hashes. The current values for fib_multipath_hash_policy are: 0 - layer 3 (default) 1 - layer 4 If there's an skb hash already set and it matches the chosen policy then it will be used instead of being calculated (currently only for L4). In L3 mode we always calculate the hash due to the ICMP error special case, the flow dissector's field consistentification should handle the address order thus we can remove the address reversals. If the skb is provided we always use it for the hash calculation, otherwise we fallback to fl4, that is if skb is NULL fl4 has to be set.

2017-03-16tcp: remove tcp_tw_recycleSoheil Hassas Yeganeh
The tcp_tw_recycle was already broken for connections behind NAT, since the per-destination timestamp is not monotonically increasing for multiple machines behind a single destination address. After the randomization of TCP timestamp offsets in commit 8a5bd45f6616 (tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection), the tcp_tw_recycle is broken for all types of connections for the same reason: the timestamps received from a single machine is not monotonically increasing, anymore. Remove tcp_tw_recycle, since it is not functional. Also, remove the PAWSPassive SNMP counter since it is only used for tcp_tw_recycle, and simplify tcp_v4_route_req and tcp_v6_route_req since the strict argument is only set when tcp_tw_recycle is enabled.

2017-03-13mpls: allow TTL propagation from IP packets to be configuredRobert Shearman
Allow TTL propagation from IP packets to MPLS packets to be configured. Add a new optional LWT attribute, MPLS_IPTUNNEL_TTL, which allows the TTL to be set in the resulting MPLS packet, with the value of 0 having the semantics of enabling propagation of the TTL from the IP header (i.e. non-zero values disable propagation). Also allow the configuration to be overridden globally by reusing the same sysctl to control whether the TTL is propagated from IP packets into the MPLS header. If the per-LWT attribute is set then it overrides the global configuration. If the TTL isn't propagated then a default TTL value is used which can be configured via a new sysctl, "net.mpls.default_ttl". This is kept separate from the configuration of whether IP TTL propagation is enabled as it can be used in the future when non-IP payloads are supported (i.e. where there is no payload TTL that can be propagated).

2017-03-13mpls: allow TTL propagation to IP packets to be configuredRobert Shearman
Provide the ability to control on a per-route basis whether the TTL value from an MPLS packet is propagated to an IPv4/IPv6 packet when the last label is popped as per the theoretical model in RFC 3443 through a new route attribute, RTA_TTL_PROPAGATE which can be 0 to mean disable propagation and 1 to mean enable propagation. In order to provide the ability to change the behaviour for packets arriving with IPv4/IPv6 Explicit Null labels and to provide an easy way for a user to change the behaviour for all existing routes without having to reprogram them, a global knob is provided. This is done through the addition of a new per-namespace sysctl, "net.mpls.ip_ttl_propagate", which defaults to enabled. If the per-route attribute is set (either enabled or disabled) then it overrides the global configuration.

2017-03-09userfaultfd: non-cooperative: rollback userfaultfd_exitAndrea Arcangeli
Patch series "userfaultfd non-cooperative further update for 4.11 merge window". Unfortunately I noticed one relevant bug in userfaultfd_exit while doing more testing. I've been doing testing before and this was also tested by kbuild bot and exercised by the selftest, but this bug never reproduced before. I dropped userfaultfd_exit as result. I dropped it because of implementation difficulty in receiving signals in __mmput and because I think -ENOSPC as result from the background UFFDIO_COPY should be enough already. Before I decided to remove userfaultfd_exit, I noticed userfaultfd_exit wasn't exercised by the selftest and when I tried to exercise it, after moving it to a more correct place in __mmput where it would make more sense and where the vma list is stable, it resulted in the event_wait_completion in D state. So then I added the second patch to be sure even if we call userfaultfd_event_wait_completion too late during task exit(), we won't risk to generate tasks in D state. The same check exists in handle_userfault() for the same reason, except it makes a difference there, while here is just a robustness check and it's run under WARN_ON_ONCE. While looking at the userfaultfd_event_wait_completion() function I looked back at its callers too while at it and I think it's not ok to stop executing dup_fctx on the fcs list because we relay on userfaultfd_event_wait_completion to execute userfaultfd_ctx_put(fctx->orig) which is paired against userfaultfd_ctx_get(fctx->orig) in dup_userfault just before list_add(fcs). This change only takes care of fctx->orig but this area also needs further review looking for similar problems in fctx->new. The only patch that is urgent is the first because it's an use after free during a SMP race condition that affects all processes if CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=y. Very hard to reproduce though and probably impossible without SLUB poisoning enabled. This patch (of 3): I once reproduced this oops with the userfaultfd selftest, it's not easily reproducible and it requires SLUB poisoning to reproduce. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 18421 Comm: userfaultfd Tainted: G ------------ T 3.10.0+ #15 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.10.1-0-g8891697-prebuilt.qemu-project.org 04/01/2014 task: ffff8801f83b9440 ti: ffff8801f833c000 task.ti: ffff8801f833c000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81451299>] [<ffffffff81451299>] userfaultfd_exit+0x29/0xa0 RSP: 0018:ffff8801f833fe80 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: ffff8801f833ffd8 RBX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RCX: ffff8801f83b9440 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff8800baf18600 RBP: ffff8801f833fee8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffffff8127ceb3 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffff8800baf186b0 R14: ffff8801f83b99f8 R15: 00007faed746c700 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88023fc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00007faf0966f028 CR3: 0000000001bc6000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: do_exit+0x297/0xd10 SyS_exit+0x17/0x20 tracesys+0xdd/0xe2 Code: 00 00 66 66 66 66 90 55 48 89 e5 41 54 53 48 83 ec 58 48 8b 1f 48 85 db 75 11 eb 73 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 8b 5b 10 48 85 db 74 64 <4c> 8b a3 b8 00 00 00 4d 85 e4 74 eb 41 f6 84 24 2c 01 00 00 80 RIP [<ffffffff81451299>] userfaultfd_exit+0x29/0xa0 RSP <ffff8801f833fe80> ---[ end trace 9fecd6dcb442846a ]--- In the debugger I located the "mm" pointer in the stack and walking mm->mmap->vm_next through the end shows the vma->vm_next list is fully consistent and it is null terminated list as expected. So this has to be an SMP race condition where userfaultfd_exit was running while the vma list was being modified by another CPU. When userfaultfd_exit() run one of the ->vm_next pointers pointed to SLAB_POISON (RBX is the vma pointer and is 0x6b6b..). The reason is that it's not running in __mmput but while there are still other threads running and it's not holding the mmap_sem (it can't as it has to wait the even to be received by the manager). So this is an use after free that was happening for all processes. One more implementation problem aside from the race condition: userfaultfd_exit has really to check a flag in mm->flags before walking the vma or it's going to slowdown the exit() path for regular tasks. One more implementation problem: at that point signals can't be delivered so it would also create a task in D state if the manager doesn't read the event. The major design issue: it overall looks superfluous as the manager can check for -ENOSPC in the background transfer: if (mmget_not_zero(ctx->mm)) { [..] } else { return -ENOSPC; } It's safer to roll it back and re-introduce it later if at all.

A check was added to make sure that all jump label entries were 4 bytes aligned, but powerpc didn't work that way for modules. Adding an alignment in the module linker script appeared to be the best solution. - Jump labels also added an anonymous union to access those LSB bits as a normal long. But because this structure had static initialization, it broke older compilers that could not statically initialize anonymous unions without brackets. - The command line parameter for setting function graph filter broke the "EMPTY_HASH" descriptor by modifying it instead of creating a new hash to hold the entries. - The command line parameter ftrace_graph_max_depth was added to allow its setting at boot time. It uses existing code and only the command line hook was added. This is not really a fix, but as it uses existing code without affecting anything else, I added it to this release. It was ready before the merge window closed, but I wanted to let it sit in linux-next for a couple of days first" * tag 'trace-v4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/graph: Add ftrace_graph_max_depth kernel parameter tracing: Add #undef to fix compile error jump_label: Add comment about initialization order for anonymous unions jump_label: Fix anonymous union initialization module: set __jump_table alignment to 8 ftrace/graph: Do not modify the EMPTY_HASH for the function_graph filter tracing: Fix code comment for ftrace_ops_get_func()
2017-03-07irqchip/gicv3-its: Add workaround for QDF2400 ITS erratum 0065Shanker Donthineni
On Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400 SoCs, the ITS hardware implementation uses 16Bytes for Interrupt Translation Entry (ITE), but reports an incorrect value of 8Bytes in GITS_TYPER.ITTE_size. It might cause kernel memory corruption depending on the number of MSI(x) that are configured and the amount of memory that has been allocated for ITEs in its_create_device(). This patch fixes the potential memory corruption by setting the correct ITE size to 16Bytes.

Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option. At boot-time, this allows a user to request CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=n behavior from a kernel built with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y. This is analogous to the existing "cpuidle.off=1" option and CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y This capability is valuable when we need to debug end-user issues in the BIOS or in Linux. It is also convenient for enabling comparisons, which may otherwise require a new kernel, or help from BIOS SETUP, which may be buggy or unavailable.
