Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's network topology service when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying the topology server port and breaking its connections to existing subscribers, TIPC now simply lets the service continue running (since the change to the port identifier of each port used by the topology service no longer impacts the flow of messages between the service and its subscribers). This enhancement means that applications that utilize the topology service prior to the assignment of TIPC's network address no longer need to re-establish their subscriptions when the address is finally assigned. However, it is worth noting that any subsequent events for existing subscriptions report the new port identifier of the publishing port, rather than the original port identifier. (For example, a name that was previously reported as being published by <0.0.0:ref> may be subsequently withdrawn by <Z.C.N:ref>.) This doesn't impact any of the existing known userspace in tipc-utils, since (a) TIPC continues to treat references to the original port ID correctly and (b) normal use cases assign an address before active use. However if there does happen to be some rare/custom application out there that was relying on this, they can simply bypass the enhancement by issuing a subscription to {0,0} and break its connection to the topology service, if an associated withdrawal event occurs.

Termination no longer tests to see if the configuration service port was successfully created or not. In the unlikely event that the port was not created, attempting to delete the non-existent port is detected gracefully and causes no harm.

Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's configuration service when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying the configuration server port and then recreating it, TIPC now simply withdraws the existing {0,<0.0.0>} name publication and creates a new {0,<Z.C.N>} name publication that identifies the node's network address to interested subscribers.

This adds code to trigger CEE events when an APP change or setall command is made from user space. This simplifies user space code significantly by creating a single interface to listen on that works with both firmware and userland agents. And if we end up with multiple agents this keeps every thing in sync userland agents, firmware agents, and kernel notifier consumers. For an example agent that listens for these events see: https://github.com/jrfastab/cgdcbxd cgdcbxd is a daemon used to monitor DCB netlink events and manage the net_prio control group sub-system.

Commit 35f3d14d (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added a slowdown for splice(socket -> pipe), as we might grow the spd used in skb_splice_bits() for each skb we process in splice() syscall. Its not needed since skb lengths are capped. The default on-stack arrays are more than enough. Use MAX_SKB_FRAGS instead of PIPE_DEF_BUFFERS to describe the reasonable limit per skb.

commit c8628155 (tcp: reduce out_of_order memory use) took care of coalescing tcp segments provided by legacy devices (linear skbs) We extend this idea to fragged skbs, as their truesize can be heavy. ixgbe for example uses 256+1024+PAGE_SIZE/2 = 3328 bytes per segment. Use this coalescing strategy for receive queue too. This contributes to reduce number of tcp collapses, at minimal cost, and reduces memory overhead and packets drops.

Following patch adds afex multifunction support to the driver (afex multifunction is based on vntag header) and updates FW version used to 7.2.51. Support includes the following: 1. Configure vif parameters in firmware (default vlan, vif id, default priority, allowed priorities) according to values received from NIC. 2. Configure FW to strip/add default vlan according to afex vlan mode. 3. Notify link up to OS only after vif is fully initialized. 4. Support vif list set/get requests and configure FW accordingly. 5. Supply afex statistics upon request from NIC. 6. Special handling to L2 interface in case of FCoE vif.

While investigating TCP performance problems on 10Gb+ links, we found a tcp sender was dropping lot of incoming ACKS because of sk_rcvbuf limit in sk_add_backlog(), especially if receiver doesnt use GRO/LRO and sends one ACK every two MSS segments. A sender usually tweaks sk_sndbuf, but sk_rcvbuf stays at its default value (87380), allowing a too small backlog. A TCP ACK, even being small, can consume nearly same truesize space than outgoing packets. Using sk_rcvbuf + sk_sndbuf as a limit makes sense and is fast to compute. Performance results on netperf, single flow, receiver with disabled GRO/LRO : 7500 Mbits instead of 6050 Mbits, no more TCPBacklogDrop increments at sender.

sk_add_backlog() & sk_rcvqueues_full() hard coded sk_rcvbuf as the memory limit. We need to make this limit a parameter for TCP use.

Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390 3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap() tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and radix_tree. That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set (causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the radix_tree slot is empty. We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up before the SetPageSwapCache. But a better fix is simply to do what's five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() (if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too. s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.

commit c744a65c md: don't set md arrays to readonly on shutdown. removed the possibility of a 'BUG' when data is written to an array that has just been switched to read-only, but also introduced the possibility that the array metadata could be corrupted. If, when md_notify_reboot gets the mddev lock, the array is in a state where it is assembled but hasn't been started (as can happen if the personality module is not available, or in other unusual situations), then incorrect metadata will be written out making it impossible to re-assemble the array. So only call __md_stop_writes() if the array has actually been activated. This patch is needed for any stable kernel which has had the above commit applied.

Commit 7bfec5f3 md/raid5: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement. cause md_check_recovery to call ->add_disk much more often. Instead of only when the array is degraded, it is now called whenever md_check_recovery finds anything useful to do, which includes updating the metadata for clean<->dirty transition. This causes unnecessary work, and causes info messages from ->add_disk to be reported much too often. So refine md_check_recovery to only do any actual recovery checking (including ->add_disk) if MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set. This fix is suitable for 3.3.y: Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Jan Ceuleers <jan.ceuleers@computer.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
