Since linux-3.15, netlink_dump() can use up to 16384 bytes skb allocations. Due to struct skb_shared_info ~320 bytes overhead, we end up using order-3 (on x86) page allocations, that might trigger direct reclaim and add stress. The intent was really to attempt a large allocation but immediately fallback to a smaller one (order-1 on x86) in case of memory stress. On recent kernels (linux-4.4), we can remove __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM to meet the goal. Old kernels would need to remove __GFP_WAIT While we are at it, since we do an order-3 allocation, allow to use all the allocated bytes instead of 16384 to reduce syscalls during large dumps. iproute2 already uses 32KB recvmsg() buffer sizes. Alexei provided an initial patch downsizing to SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(16384) Fixes: 9063e21f ("netlink: autosize skb lengthes") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Reviewed-by: Greg Rose <grose@lightfleet.com> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

If a socket has FANOUT sockopt set, a new proto_hook is registered as part of fanout_add(). When processing a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event in af_packet, __fanout_unlink is called for all sockets, but prot_hook which was registered as part of fanout_add is not removed. Call fanout_release, on a NETDEV_UNREGISTER, which removes prot_hook and removes fanout from the fanout_list. This fixes BUG_ON(!list_empty(&dev->ptype_specific)) in netdev_run_todo() Signed-off-by: Anoob Soman <anoob.soman@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The KSZ9031 skew registers contain an offset, the chip's default value is "neutral" which does not add any skew. Programming a 0 into a skew property will actually set it the maximal negative adjustment and not to a neutral position as one would expect. Explain this situation in the devicetree binding documentation and list the settings that the chip considers neutral. Changing the implementation to accept negative values would have been a better solution, but would break existing configurations.

As far as I am aware only very old Windows network frontends make use of this style of passing GSO packets from backend to frontend. These frontends can easily be replaced by the freely available Xen Project Windows PV network frontend, which uses the 'default' mechanism for passing GSO packets, which is also used by all Linux frontends. NOTE: Removal of this feature will not cause breakage in old Windows frontends. They simply will no longer receive GSO packets - the packets instead being fragmented in the backend.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors. The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs on well behaved systems don't encounter them. To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces. Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes impossible. There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would be, especially as it various based on how a system is using containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash tables don't degrade unreaonsably. These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what is going on in the kernel more visible" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (28 commits) autofs: Fix automounts by using current_real_cred()->uid mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts netns: move {inc,dec}_net_namespaces into #ifdef nsfs: Simplify __ns_get_path tools/testing: add a test to check nsfs ioctl-s nsfs: add ioctl to get a parent namespace nsfs: add ioctl to get an owning user namespace for ns file descriptor kernel: add a helper to get an owning user namespace for a namespace devpts: Change the owner of /dev/pts/ptmx to the mounter of /dev/pts devpts: Remove sync_filesystems devpts: Make devpts_kill_sb safe if fsi is NULL devpts: Simplify devpts_mount by using mount_nodev devpts: Move the creation of /dev/pts/ptmx into fill_super devpts: Move parse_mount_options into fill_super userns: When the per user per user namespace limit is reached return ENOSPC userns; Document per user per user namespace limits. mntns: Add a limit on the number of mount namespaces. netns: Add a limit on the number of net namespaces cgroupns: Add a limit on the number of cgroup namespaces ipcns: Add a limit on the number of ipc namespaces ...

Early during boot topology_update_package_map() computes logical_pkg_ids for all present processors. Later, when processors are brought up, identify_cpu() updates these values based on phys_pkg_id which is a function of initial_apicid. On PV guests the latter may point to a non-existing node, causing logical_pkg_ids to be set to -1. Intel's RAPL uses logical_pkg_id (as topology_logical_package_id()) to index its arrays and therefore in this case will point to index 65535 (since logical_pkg_id is a u16). This could lead to either a crash or may actually access random memory location. As a workaround, we recompute topology during CPU bringup to reset logical_pkg_id to a valid value. (The reason for initial_apicid being bogus is because it is initial_apicid of the processor from which the guest is launched. This value is CPUID(1).EBX[31:24]) Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

Commit 215e362d ("ARM: 8306/1: loop_udelay: remove bogomips value limitation") tried to increase the bogomips limitation, but in doing so messed up udelay such that it always gives about a 5% error in the delay, even if we use a timer. The calculation is: loops = UDELAY_MULT * us_delay * ticks_per_jiffy >> UDELAY_SHIFT Originally, UDELAY_MULT was ((UL(2199023) * HZ) >> 11) and UDELAY_SHIFT 30. Assuming HZ=100, us_delay of 1000 and ticks_per_jiffy of 1660000 (eg, 166MHz timer, 1ms delay) this would calculate: ((UL(2199023) * HZ) >> 11) * 1000 * 1660000 >> 30 => 165999 With the new values of 2047 * HZ + 483648 * HZ / 1000000 and 31, we get: (2047 * HZ + 483648 * HZ / 1000000) * 1000 * 1660000 >> 31 => 158269 which is incorrect. This is due to a typo - correcting it gives: (2147 * HZ + 483648 * HZ / 1000000) * 1000 * 1660000 >> 31 => 165999 i.o.w, the original value.

Chris Hyser says: ==================== sparc64: PCIe performance enhancements Ver 2 is redone for 4.8 where commit 00085f1e changed DMA attributes from struct pointer to unsigned long. This set of patches initiates a series of PCIe performance enhancement patch submittals. Patch 1/2 enables version 2 of the SPARC sun4v IOMMU I/O address translation services need for subsequent enhancements. Patch 2/2 allows drivers to specify DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING via DMA attributes to the SPARC DMA mapping routines enabling "relaxed ordering" for the buffer being mapped.

Enable relaxed ordering for memory writes in IOMMU TSB entry from dma_4v_alloc_coherent(), dma_4v_map_page() and dma_4v_map_sg() when dma_attrs DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING is set. This requires PCI IOMMU I/O Translation Services version 2.0 API. Many PCIe devices allow enabling relaxed-ordering (memory writes bypassing other memory writes) for various DMA buffers. A notable exception is the Mellanox mlx4 IB adapter. Due to the nature of x86 HW this appears to have little performance impact there. On SPARC HW however, this results in major performance degradation getting only about 3Gbps. Enabling RO in the IOMMU entries corresponding to mlx4 data buffers increases the throughput to about 13 Gbps.

These files were only including module.h for exception table related functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile these files.
