The Broadcast Assist Unit messages have a regular or retry message type. The regular type was not being set, but needs to be, because the lack of a message type is sometimes used to identify an unused entry in the message queue. Also removing some excess comments.

Remove a faulty assumption that a long running BAU request has encountered a hardware problem and will never finish. Numalink congestion can make a request appear to have encountered such a problem, but it is not safe to cancel the request. If such a cancel is done but a reply is later received we can miss a TLB shootdown. We depend upon the max_bau_concurrent 'throttle' to prevent the stay-busy case from happening.

Correct the initialization-time assumption of contigous blade numbers and of sockets numbered from zero. There may be hubs present with no cpu's enabled. There may be disabled sockets such that the active socket is not number zero. And assign a 'socket master' by assuming that a socket is a node. (it is not safe to extract socket number from an apicid) Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Cc: gregkh@suse.de LKML-Reference: <E1OJvNy-0004aW-9S@eag09.americas.sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Correct the acknowledgment and the reset of a BAU software-acknowledged message. A retry message should be testing only for timed-out resources (mask << 8). (And we delete a log message that might cause unnecessary concern) The acknowledge MMR is |--timed-out--|---pending--|, each is 8 bits. The IPI-driven reset of software acknowledge resources frees both timed out and pending resources.

The numalink network can become so congested that TLB shootdown using the Broadcast Assist Unit becomes slower than using IPI's. In that case, disable the use of the BAU for a period of time. The period is tunable. When the period expires the use of the BAU is re-enabled. A count of these actions is added to the statistics file.

Make the Broadcast Assist Unit driver's nine tuning values variable by making them accessible through a read/write debugfs file. The file will normally be mounted as /sys/kernel/debug/sgi_uv/bau_tunables. The tunables are kept in each cpu's per-cpu BAU structure. The patch also does a little name improvement, and corrects the reset of two destination timeout counters.

Calculate the Broadcast Assist Unit's destination timeout period from the values in the relevant MMR's. Store it in each cpu's per-cpu BAU structure so that a destination timeout can be differentiated from a 'plugged' situation in which all software ack resources are already allocated and a timeout is pending. That case returns an immediate destination error.

Commit 96d60303 (ahci: Turn off DMA engines when there's no device) implemented stopping DMA engines on empty ports but it used single sampling of status registers to determine device presence which led to disabling of DMA engines on occupied ports. Do it after all EH actions are complete using device presence state determined by EH. This avoids spurious disabling of DMA engines and simplifies the code.

Linus Torvalds authored
This reverts commit 962400e8, which was entirely bogus. The code used to multiply the character offset by "vc->vc_cols", and that's actually correct, because 'd' itself is an 'unsigned short'. So the pointer arithmetic already takes the size of a VGA character into account. Changing it to use vc_size_row (which is just "vc_cols" shifted up to take the size of the character into account) ends up multiplying with the VGA character size twice. This got reported as bugs for various other subsystems, because what it actually results in is writing the 16-bit vc_video_erase_char pattern (usually 0x0720: 0x07 is the default attribute, 0x20 is ASCII space) into some random other allocation. So Markus ended up reporting this as a ext4 bug, while to Torsten Kaiser it looked like a problem with KMS or libata. Jeff Chua saw it in different places. And finally - Justin Mattock had slab poisoning enabled, and saw it as a slab poison overwritten. And bisected and reverted this to verify the buggy commit.

Cursors need to be in the GTT domain when being accessed by the GPU. Previously this was a fortuitous byproduct of userspace using pwrite() to upload the image data into the cursor. The redundant clflush was removed in commit 9b8c4a and so the image was no longer being flushed out of the caches into main memory. One could also devise a scenario where the cursor was rendered by the GPU, prior to being attached as the cursor, resulting in similar corruption due to the missing MI_FLUSH.

Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a request_module these days. And it's not clear it's always a bad idea: for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right one. In this particular case, it's libcrc32c: libcrc32c_mod_init crypto_alloc_shash crypto_alloc_tfm crypto_find_alg crypto_alg_mod_lookup crypto_larval_lookup request_module If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress until that is released. Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard: we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep where we don't hold the lock. Error reporting is a bit trickier: we need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the lock. Other notes: 1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow symbol version mismatches to be ignored. 2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't hold the lock the whole time. So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just before we put the module in the global list. (find_symbol finds symbols in coming and going modules, too).

I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed ("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't hold it at all when it did the find_module()). Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a bit. In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before adding ourselves to the list.

Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> reports that we still have some contention over module loading which is slowing boot. Linus also disliked a previous "drop lock and regrab" patch to fix the bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c" message. This is more ambitious: we only grab the lock where we need it.

Linus Torvalds authored
When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could see who needs a module. It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are "used by me". In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are used by that module. But because we didn't have that list, we used to first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me" list of that module. By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it allows for some trivial fixes later too.

I believe a moderate SYN flood attack can corrupt RFS flow table (rps_sock_flow_table), making RPS/RFS much less effective. Even in a normal situation, server handling short lived sessions suffer from bad steering for the first data packet of a session, if another SYN packet is received for another session. We do following action in tcp_v4_rcv() : sock_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash); We should _not_ do this if sk is a LISTEN socket, as about each packet received on a LISTEN socket has a different rxhash than previous one. -> RPS_NO_CPU markers are spread all over rps_sock_flow_table. Also, it makes sense to protect sk->rxhash field changes with socket lock (We currently can change it even if user thread owns the lock and might use rxhash) This patch moves sock_rps_save_rxhash() to a sock locked section, and only for non LISTEN sockets.
