      ipvlan: Fix failure path in dev registration during link creation · 494e8489
      Mahesh Bandewar authored 
      When newlink creation fails at device-registration, the port->count
is decremented twice. Francesco Ruggeri (fruggeri@arista.com) found
this issue in Macvlan and the same exists in IPvlan driver too.

While fixing this issue I noticed another issue of missing unregister
in case of failure, so adding it to the fix which is similar to the
macvlan fix by Francesco in commit 30837960 ("macvlan: fix failure
during registration v3")

      pch_gbe: replace private tx ring lock with common netif_tx_lock · 222e4d0b
      françois romieu authored 
      pch_gbe_tx_ring.tx_lock is only used in the hard_xmit handler and
in the transmit completion reaper called from NAPI context.

Compile-tested only. Potential victims Cced.

Someone more knowledgeable may check if pch_gbe_tx_queue could
have some use for a mmiowb.

      net: dsa: Provide CPU port statistics to master netdev · badf3ada
      Florian Fainelli authored 
      This patch overloads the DSA master netdev, aka CPU Ethernet MAC to also
include switch-side statistics, which is useful for debugging purposes,
when the switch is not properly connected to the Ethernet MAC (duplex
mismatch, (RG)MII electrical issues etc.).

We accomplish this by retaining the original copy of the master netdev's
ethtool_ops, and just overload the 3 operations we care about:
get_sset_count, get_strings and get_ethtool_stats so as to intercept
these calls and call into the original master_netdev ethtool_ops, plus
our own.

We take this approach as opposed to providing a set of DSA helper
functions that would retrive the CPU port's statistics, because the
entire purpose of DSA is to allow unmodified Ethernet MAC drivers to be
used as CPU conduit interfaces, therefore, statistics overlay in such
drivers would simply not scale.

The new ethtool -S <iface> output would therefore look like this now:
<iface> statistics
p<2 digits cpu port number>_<switch MIB counter names>

      tcp: give prequeue mode some care · 0cef6a4c
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      TCP prequeue goal is to defer processing of incoming packets
to user space thread currently blocked in a recvmsg() system call.

Intent is to spend less time processing these packets on behalf
of softirq handler, as softirq handler is unfair to normal process
scheduler decisions, as it might interrupt threads that do not
even use networking.

Current prequeue implementation has following issues :

1) It only checks size of the prequeue against sk_rcvbuf

   It was fine 15 years ago when sk_rcvbuf was in the 64KB vicinity.
   But we now have ~8MB values to cope with modern networking needs.
   We have to add sk_rmem_alloc in the equation, since out of order
   packets can definitely use up to sk_rcvbuf memory themselves.

2) Even with a fixed memory truesize check, prequeue can be filled
   by thousands of packets. When prequeue needs to be flushed, either
   from sofirq context (in tcp_prequeue() or timer code), or process
   context (in tcp_prequeue_process()), this adds a latency spike
   which is often not desirable.
   I added a fixed limit of 32 packets, as this translated to a max
   flush time of 60 us on my test hosts.

   Also note that all packets in prequeue are not accounted for tcp_mem,
   since they are not charged against sk_forward_alloc at this point.
   This is probably not a big deal.

Note that this might increase LINUX_MIB_TCPPREQUEUEDROPPED counts,
which is misnamed, as packets are not dropped at all, but rather pushed
to the stack (where they can be either consumed or dropped)

      fq: split out backlog update logic · b43e7199
      Michal Kazior authored 
      mac80211 (which will be the first user of the
fq.h) recently started to support software A-MSDU
aggregation. It glues skbuffs together into a
single one so the backlog accounting needs to be
more fine-grained.

To avoid backlog sorting logic duplication split
it up for re-use.

      tipc: remove an unnecessary NULL check · b4358657
      Dan Carpenter authored 
      This is never called with a NULL "buf" and anyway, we dereference 's' on
the lines before so it would Oops before we reach the check.
