      Revert "mm: create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation" · 8b2e9b71
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit ea1e7ed3.
      
      Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate
      slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and
      the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree.
      
      Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion
      to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me.
      
      Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything.  If we really do
      want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug
      builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo
      the patch fully.

      avr32: fix out-of-range jump in large kernels · d617b338
      Andreas Bießmann authored
      This patch fixes following error (for big kernels):
      
      ---8<---
      arch/avr32/boot/u-boot/head.o: In function `no_tag_table':
      (.init.text+0x44): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o
      arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `bad_return':
      (.ex.text+0x236): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o
      --->8---
      
      It comes up when the kernel increases and 'panic()' is too far away to fit in
      the +/- 2MiB range. Which in turn issues from the 21-bit displacement in
      'br{cond4}' mnemonic which is one of the two ways to do jumps (rjmp has just
      10-bit displacement and therefore a way smaller range). This fact was stated
      before in 8d29b7b9.
      One solution to solve this is to add a local storage for the symbol address
      and just load the $pc with that value.

      Squashfs: Directly decompress into the page cache for file data · 0d455c12
      Phillip Lougher authored
      This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block()
      that directly decompresses into the page cache.
      
      This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push
      down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the
      page cache buffers into the decompressors.  This enables
      direct copying into the page cache without using the slow
      kmap/kunmap calls.
      
      The code detects when multiple threads are racing in
      squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids
      this regression by falling back to using an intermediate
      buffer.
      
      This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly
      when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously
      because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly
      eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.
      
      Using single-thread decompression.

      Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressors · 846b730e
      Phillip Lougher authored
      Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler
      abstraction.  This adds helpers to allow the decompressors
      to access and process the output buffers in an implementation
      independant manner.
      
      This allows different types of output buffer to be passed
      to the decompressors, with the implementation specific
      aspects handled at decompression time, but without the
      knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code.
      
      This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs
      cache buffers, and page cache pages.
      
      This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for
      the caches.

          load-balanced across the multiple cores.
        * simplicity.
      
      Disadvantages: it limits decompression to one thread per core.

      Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and code · 9508c6b9
      Phillip Lougher authored
      The decompressor interface and code was written from
      the point of view of single-threaded operation.  In doing
      so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
      aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
      difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
      implementations.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
      1.  It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
          init() function.  This allows the decompressor init() function
          to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
          without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
          time.
      
      2.  It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
          decompressors.  In doing so, it makes the decompressors
          non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
          the decompressor implementation.
      
      3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
         in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
         decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.
      
      The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
      support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
      files with specialised implementations of the functions in
      decompressor_single.c

      aacraid: prevent invalid pointer dereference · b4789b8e
      Mahesh Rajashekhara authored
      It appears that driver runs into a problem here if fibsize is too small
      because we allocate user_srbcmd with fibsize size only but later we
      access it until user_srbcmd->sg.count to copy it over to srbcmd.
      
      It is not correct to test (fibsize < sizeof(*user_srbcmd)) because this
      structure already includes one sg element and this is not needed for
      commands without data.  So, we would recommend to add the following
      (instead of test for fibsize == 0).

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
       "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as
        well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer
        period of time"
      
       1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink
          registration.  Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant
          counts for their ops array rather than something like
          ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar.  Also, some genetlink protocols were
          using fixed IDs for their multicast groups.
      
          We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools
          working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by
          other protocols can not possibly conflict.
      
          In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state
          management for genetlink operations and multicast groups.
      
       2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several
          drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value
          is one the driver actually supports.  From Ben Hutchings.
      
       3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.
      
       4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order
          relative to skb_scrub_packet().  From Alexei Starovoitov.
      
       5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make
          calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid.  Fix from Toshiaki
          Makita.
      
       6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to
          prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita.
      
       7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices
          that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance
          decrease.  One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in
          wireless.  From Eric Dumazet.
      
       8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts
          here.  Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones.
      
       9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn.
      
      10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the
          virtio-net header into account.  From Michael Dalton.
      
      11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt.  statistic

          Hugne.
      
      13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka
          Rissanen.

          disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way.  From Michal
          Kubecek.
      
      15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from
          Daniel Mack.
      
      16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.
      
      17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on
          partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue.
      
      18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol
          initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little.  Fix
          from Vlad Yasevich.
      
      19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that
          blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to
          userspace.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  There is another fix in the
          works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature.
      
      20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du.

      genetlink: clean up multicast group APIs
      
      The generic netlink multicast group registration doesn't have to
      be dynamic, and can thus be simplified just like I did with the
      ops. This removes some complexity in registration code.
      
      Additionally, two users of generic netlink already use multicast
      groups in a wrong way, add workarounds for those two to keep the
      userspace API working, but at the same time make them not clash
      with other users of multicast groups as might happen now.
      
      While making it all a bit easier, also prevent such abuse by adding
      checks to the APIs so each family can only use the groups it owns.

      genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse · 2a94fe48
      Johannes Berg authored
      Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
      the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
      of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
      send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
      families that's just 0 because the only have one group.
      
      This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
      field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.
      
      At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
      again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
      check that a family only uses a group it owns.

      The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in

      tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair mode · dbde4979
      Andrey Vagin authored
      snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head.  Otherwise
      tp->packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic.
      
      Here is a kernel panic from my host.
      [  103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048
      [  103.044025] IP: [<ffffffff815aaaaf>] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150

      [  146.301158]  [<ffffffff815ab7f0>] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0
      
      Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and
      unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode,
      then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was
      restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode.
      
      In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this:
      snd_una    snd_nxt   write_seq
         |_________|________|
                   |
      	  sk_send_head
      
      After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was
      changed:
      
      snd_una          snd_nxt, write_seq
         |_________ ________|
                   |
      	  sk_send_head
      
      This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not
      synchronized.
      
      Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented
      twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized.
      In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when
      sk_write_queue is empty.
      
      tcp_write_wakeup
      	skb = tcp_send_head(sk);
      	tcp_fragment
      		if (!before(tp->snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)->end_seq))
      			tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff);
      	tcp_event_new_data_sent

      I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from
      repair mode.  Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a
      write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent,
      so it's always is in consistent state.
      
      I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and
      all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.

      atm: idt77252: fix dev refcnt leak · b5de4a22
      Ying Xue authored
      init_card() calls dev_get_by_name() to get a network deceive. But it
      doesn't decrease network device reference count after the device is
      used.

      xfrm: Release dst if this dst is improper for vti tunnel · 236c9f84
      fan.du authored
      After searching rt by the vti tunnel dst/src parameter,
      if this rt has neither attached to any transformation
      nor the transformation is not tunnel oriented, this rt
      should be released back to ip layer.
      
      otherwise causing dst memory leakage.
