In order to make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules, need to make elfcorehdr_addr exported. This was rejected in the past [1] because reset_devices was prefered in that context (reseting the device in kdump kernel), but now there are some network drivers that need to reduce memory usage when loaded from a kdump kernel. And in that context, is_kdump_kernel() suits better. [1] - https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/27/341 CC: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

Basic deferred TX queue flushing infrastructure. Over time, and specifically and more recently at the Networking Workshop during Kernel SUmmit in Chicago, we have discussed the idea of having some way to optimize transmits of multiple TX packets at a time. There are several areas of overhead that could be amortized with such schemes. One has to do with locking and transactional overhead, the other has to do with device specific costs. This patch set here is more aimed at device specific costs. Typically a device queues up a packet in the TX queue and then has to do something to have the device start processing that new entry. Sometimes this is composed of doing an MMIO write to a "tail" register, and in other cases it can involve something as expensive as a hypervisor call. The basic setup defined here is that when the driver supports deferred TX queue flushing, ndo_start_xmit should no longer perform that operation. Instead a new operation, ndo_xmit_flush, should do it. I have converted IGB and virtio_net as example initial users. The IGB conversion is tested, virtio_net is not but it does compile :-) All ndo_start_xmit call sites have been abstracted behind a new helper called netdev_start_xmit(). This just adds the infrastructure, it does not actually add any instances of actually doing multiple ndo_start_xmit calls per ndo_xmit_flush invocation. Signed-off-by: -

This patch addresses a couple of minor items, mostly addesssing prandom_bytes(): 1) prandom_bytes{,_state}() should use size_t for length arguments, 2) We can use put_unaligned() when filling the array instead of open coding it [ perhaps some archs will further benefit from their own arch specific implementation when GCC cannot make up for it ], 3) Fix a typo, 4) Better use unsigned int as type for getting the arch seed, 5) Make use of prandom_u32_max() for timer slack. Regarding the change to put_unaligned(), callers of prandom_bytes() which internally invoke prandom_bytes_state(), don't bother as they expect the array to be filled randomly and don't have any control of the internal state what-so-ever (that's also why we have periodic reseeding there, etc), so they really don't care. Now for the direct callers of prandom_bytes_state(), which are solely located in test cases for MTD devices, that is, drivers/mtd/tests/{oobtest.c,pagetest.c,subpagetest.c}: These tests basically fill a test write-vector through prandom_bytes_state() with an a-priori defined seed each time and write that to a MTD device. Later on, they set up a read-vector and read back that blocks from the device. So in the verification phase, the write-vector is being re-setup [ so same seed and prandom_bytes_state() called ], and then memcmp()'ed against the read-vector to check if the data is the same. Akinobu, Lothar and I also tested this patch and it runs through the 3 relevant MTD test cases w/o any errors on the nandsim device (simulator for MTD devs) for x86_64, ppc64, ARM (i.MX28, i.MX53 and i.MX6): # modprobe nandsim first_id_byte=0x20 second_id_byte=0xac \ third_id_byte=0x00 fourth_id_byte=0x15 # modprobe mtd_oobtest dev=0 # modprobe mtd_pagetest dev=0 # modprobe mtd_subpagetest dev=0 We also don't have any users depending directly on a particular result of the PRNG (except the PRNG self-test itself), and that's just fine as it e.g. allowed us easily to do things like upgrading from taus88 to taus113.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== net: Checksum offload changes - Part V I am working on overhauling RX checksum offload. Goals of this effort are: - Specify what exactly it means when driver returns CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY - Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE through encapsulation layers - Don't do skb_checksum more than once per packet - Unify GRO and non-GRO csum verification as much as possible - Unify the checksum functions (checksum_init) - Simplify code What is in this fifth patch set: - Added GRO checksum validation functions - Call the GRO validations functions from TCP and GRE gro_receive - Perform checksum verification in the UDP gro_receive path using GRO functions and add support for gro_receive in UDP6 Changes in V2: - Change ip_summed to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY instead of moving it to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE from GRO checksum validation. This avoids performance penalty in checksumming bytes which are before the header GRO is at.

Drivers, and perhaps other entities we have not yet considered, sometimes want to know how deep the protocol headers go before deciding how large of an SKB to allocate and how much of the packet to place into the linear SKB area. For example, consider a driver which has a device which DMAs into pools of pages and then tells the driver where the data went in the DMA descriptor(s). The driver can then build an SKB and reference most of the data via SKB fragments (which are page/offset/length triplets). However at least some of the front of the packet should be placed into the linear SKB area, which comes before the fragments, so that packet processing can get at the headers efficiently. The first thing each protocol layer is going to do is a "pskb_may_pull()" so we might as well aggregate as much of this as possible while we're building the SKB in the driver. Part of supporting this is that we don't have an SKB yet, so we want to be able to let the flow dissector operate on a raw buffer in order to compute the offset of the end of the headers. So now we have a __skb_flow_dissect() which takes an explicit data pointer and length. Signed-off-by: -

Jon Maloy says: ==================== tipc: Merge port and socket layer code After the removal of the TIPC native interface, there is no reason to keep a distinction between a "generic" port layer and a "specific" socket layer in the code. Throughout the last months, we have posted several series that aimed at facilitating removal of the port layer, and in particular the port_lock spinlock, which in reality duplicates the role normally kept by lock_sock()/bh_lock_sock(). In this series, we finalize this work, by making a significant number of changes to the link, node, port and socket code, all with the aim of reducing dependencies between the layers. In the final commits, we then remove the port spinlock, port.c and port.h altogether. After this series, we have a socket layer that has only few dependencies to the rest of the stack, so that it should be possible to continue cleanups of its code without significantly affecting other code. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

We complete the merging of the port and socket layer by aggregating the fields of struct tipc_port directly into struct tipc_sock, and moving the combined structure into socket.c. We also move all functions and macros that are not any longer exposed to the rest of the stack into socket.c, and rename them accordingly. Despite the size of this commit, there are no functional changes. We have only made such changes that are necessary due of the removal of struct tipc_port. Signed-off-by:

The reference table is now 'socket aware' instead of being generic, and has in reality become a socket internal table. In order to be able to minimize the API exposed by the socket layer towards the rest of the stack, we now move the reference table definitions and functions into the file socket.c, and rename the functions accordingly.

In previous commits we have reduced usage of port_lock to a minimum, and complemented it with usage of bh_lock_sock() at the remaining locations. The purpose has been to remove this lock altogether, since it largely duplicates the role of bh_lock_sock. We are now ready to do this. However, we still need to protect the BH callers from inadvertent release of the socket while they hold a reference to it. We do this by replacing port_lock by a combination of a rw-lock protecting the reference table as such, and updating the socket reference counter while the socket is referenced from BH. This technique is more standard and comprehensible than the previous approach, and turns out to have a positive effect on overall performance. Signed-off-by:

In order to make tipc_sock the only entity referencable from other parts of the stack, we add a tipc_sock pointer instead of a tipc_port pointer to the registry. As a consequence, we also let the function tipc_port_lock() return a pointer to a tipc_sock instead of a tipc_port. We keep the function's name for now, since the lock still is owned by the port. This is another step in the direction of eliminating port_lock, replacing its usage with lock_sock() and bh_lock_sock(). Signed-off-by:

The functions tipc_port_get_ports() and tipc_port_reinit() scan over all sockets/ports to access each of them. This is done by using a dedicated linked list, 'tipc_socks' where all sockets are members. The list is in turn protected by a spinlock, 'port_list_lock', while each socket is locked by using port_lock at the moment of access. In order to reduce complexity and risk of deadlock, we want to get rid of the linked list and the accompanying spinlock. This is what we do in this commit. Instead of the linked list, we use the port registry to scan across the sockets. We also add usage of bh_lock_sock() inside the scope of port_lock in both functions, as a preparation for the complete removal of port_lock. Finally, we move the functions from port.c to socket.c, and rename them to tipc_sk_sock_show() and tipc_sk_reinit() repectively. Signed-off-by:

After the latest changes to the socket/port layer the existence of the functions tipc_port_init() and tipc_port_destroy() cannot be justified. They are both called only once, from tipc_sk_create() and tipc_sk_delete() respectively, and their functionality can better be merged into the latter two functions. This also entails that all remaining references to port_lock now are made from inside socket.c, something that will make it easier to remove this lock. Signed-off-by:

The function tipc_acknowledge() is a remnant from the obsolete native API. Currently, it grabs port_lock, before building an acknowledge message and sending it to the peer. Since all access to socket members now is protected by the socket lock, it has become unnecessary to grab port_lock here. In this commit, we remove the usage of port_lock, simplify the function, and move it to socket.c, renaming it to tipc_sk_send_ack(). Signed-off-by:

Jon Paul Maloy authored
tipc_port_connect()/tipc_port_disconnect() are remnants of the obsolete native API. Their only task is to grab port_lock and call the functions __tipc_port_connect()/__tipc_port_disconnect() respectively, which will perform the actual state change. Since socket/port exection now is single-threaded the use of port_lock is not needed any more, so we can safely replace the two functions with their lock-free counterparts. In this commit, we remove the two functions. Furthermore, the contents of __tipc_port_disconnect() is so trivial that we choose to eliminate that function too, expanding its functionality into tipc_shutdown(). __tipc_port_connect() is simplified, moved to socket.c, and given the more correct name tipc_sk_finish_conn(). Finally, we eliminate the function auto_connect(), and expand its contents into filter_connect(). Signed-off-by:
