commit 908344cd ("tipc: fix bug in multicast congestion handling") introduced a race in the broadcast link wakeup functionality. This patch eliminates this broadcast link wakeup race caused by operation on the wakeup list without proper locking. If this race hit and corrupted the list all subsequent wakeup messages would be lost, resulting in a considerable memory leak. Signed-off-by:

This replaces most of the calls to netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align in the Realtek drivers. The one instance I didn't replace in 8139cp.c is because it was called as a part of init and as such is not always accessed from the softirq context.

In order to use napi_alloc_skb I needed to pass a pointer to struct adapter instead of struct pci_dev. This allowed me to access &adapter->napi. Signed-off-by:

This change replaces calls to netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align with napi_alloc_skb. The advantage of napi_alloc_skb is currently the fact that the page allocation doesn't make use of any irq disable calls. There are few spots where I couldn't replace the calls as the buffer allocation routine is called as a part of init which is outside of the softirq context.

This change pulls the core functionality out of __netdev_alloc_skb and places them in a new function named __alloc_rx_skb. The reason for doing this is to make these bits accessible to a new function __napi_alloc_skb. In addition __alloc_rx_skb now has a new flags value that is used to determine which page frag pool to allocate from. If the SKB_ALLOC_NAPI flag is set then the NAPI pool is used. The advantage of this is that we do not have to use local_irq_save/restore when accessing the NAPI pool from NAPI context. In my test setup I saw at least 11ns of savings using the napi_alloc_skb function versus the netdev_alloc_skb function, most of this being due to the fact that we didn't have to call local_irq_save/restore. The main use case for napi_alloc_skb would be for things such as copybreak or page fragment based receive paths where an skb is allocated after the data has been received instead of before.

This patch splits the netdev_alloc_frag function up so that it can be used on one of two page frag pools instead of being fixed on the netdev_alloc_cache. By doing this we can add a NAPI specific function __napi_alloc_frag that accesses a pool that is only used from softirq context. The advantage to this is that we do not need to call local_irq_save/restore which can be a significant savings. I also took the opportunity to refactor the core bits that were placed in __alloc_page_frag. First I updated the allocation to do either a 32K allocation or an order 0 page. This is based on the changes in commmit d9b2938a where it was found that latencies could be reduced in case of failures. Then I also rewrote the logic to work from the end of the page to the start. By doing this the size value doesn't have to be used unless we have run out of space for page fragments. Finally I cleaned up the atomic bits so that we just do an atomic_sub_and_test and if that returns true then we set the page->_count via an atomic_set. This way we can remove the extra conditional for the atomic_read since it would have led to an atomic_inc in the case of success anyway. Signed-off-by:

Merge tag 'master-2014-12-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next John W. Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless-next 2014-12-08 Please pull this last batch of pending wireless updates for the 3.19 tree... For the wireless bits, Johannes says: "This time I have Felix's no-status rate control work, which will allow drivers to work better with rate control even if they don't have perfect status reporting. In addition to this, a small hwsim fix from Patrik, one of the regulatory patches from Arik, and a number of cleanups and fixes I did myself. Of note is a patch where I disable CFG80211_WEXT so that compatibility is no longer selectable - this is intended as a wake-up call for anyone who's still using it, and is still easily worked around (it's a one-line patch) before we fully remove the code as well in the future." For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says: "Here's one more bluetooth-next pull request for 3.19: - Minor cleanups for ieee802154 & mac802154 - Fix for the kernel warning with !TASK_RUNNING reported by Kirill A. Shutemov - Support for another ath3k device - Fix for tracking link key based security level - Device tree bindings for btmrvl + a state update fix - Fix for wrong ACL flags on LE links" And... "In addition to the previous one this contains two more cleanups to mac802154 as well as support for some new HCI features from the Bluetooth 4.2 specification. From the original request: 'Here's what should be the last bluetooth-next pull request for 3.19. It's rather large but the majority of it is the Low Energy Secure Connections feature that's part of the Bluetooth 4.2 specification. The specification went public only this week so we couldn't publish the corresponding code before that. The code itself can nevertheless be considered fairly mature as it's been in development for over 6 months and gone through several interoperability test events. Besides LE SC the pull request contains an important fix for command complete events for mgmt sockets which also fixes some leaks of hci_conn objects when powering off or unplugging Bluetooth adapters. A smaller feature that's part of the pull request is service discovery support. This is like normal device discovery except that devices not matching specific UUIDs or strong enough RSSI are filtered out. Other changes that the pull request contains are firmware dump support to the btmrvl driver, firmware download support for Broadcom BCM20702A0 variants, as well as some coding style cleanups in 6lowpan & ieee802154/mac802154 code.'" For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "With this one we get: - NFC digital improvements for DEP support: Chaining, NACK and ATN support added. - NCI improvements: Support for p2p target, SE IO operand addition, SE operands extensions to support proprietary implementations, and a few fixes. - NFC HCI improvements: OPEN_PIPE and NOTIFY_ALL_CLEARED support, and SE IO operand addition. - A bunch of minor improvements and fixes for STMicro st21nfcb and st21nfca" For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "Major works are CSA and TDLS. On top of that I have a new firmware API for scan and a few rate control improvements. Johannes find a few tricks to improve our CPU utilization and adds support for a new spin of 7265 called 7265D. Along with this a few random things that don't stand out." And... "I deprecate here -8.ucode since -9 has been published long ago. Along with that I have a new activity, we have now better a infrastructure for firmware debugging. This will allow to have configurable probes insides the firmware. Luca continues his work on NetDetect, this feature is now complete. All the rest is minor fixes here and there." For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Only ath10k changes this time and no major changes. Most visible are: o new debugfs interface for runtime firmware debugging (Yanbo) o fix shared WEP (Sujith) o don't rebuild whenever kernel version changes (Johannes) o lots of refactoring to make it easier to add new hw support (Michal) There's also smaller fixes and improvements with no point of listing here." In addition, there are a few last minute updates to ath5k, ath9k, brcmfmac, brcmsmac, mwifiex, rt2x00, rtlwifi, and wil6210. Also included is a pull of the wireless tree to pick-up the fixes originally included in "pull request: wireless 2014-12-03"...

Commit 95bd09eb ("tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing") tried to control TSO size, but did this at the wrong place (sendmsg() time) At sendmsg() time, we might have a pessimistic view of flow rate, and we end up building very small skbs (with 2 MSS per skb). This is bad because : - It sends small TSO packets even in Slow Start where rate quickly increases. - It tends to make socket write queue very big, increasing tcp_ack() processing time, but also increasing memory needs, not necessarily accounted for, as fast clones overhead is currently ignored. - Lower GRO efficiency and more ACK packets. Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this. Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate. skb split is actually quite efficient. Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now has to take place after the eventual split. As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal. Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not related to the autosizing goal anymore.

... making both non-draining. That means that tcp_recvmsg() becomes non-draining. And _that_ would break iscsit_do_rx_data() unless we a) make sure tcp_recvmsg() is uniformly non-draining (it is) b) make sure it copes with arbitrary (including shifted) iov_iter (it does, all it uses is iov_iter primitives) c) make iscsit_do_rx_data() initialize ->msg_iter only once. Fortunately, (c) is doable with minimal work and we are rid of one the two places where kernel send/recvmsg users would be unhappy with non-draining behaviour. Actually, that makes all but one of ->recvmsg() instances iov_iter-clean. The exception is skcipher_recvmsg() and it also isn't hard to convert to primitives (iov_iter_get_pages() is needed there). That'll wait a bit - there's some interplay with ->sendmsg() path for that one. Signed-off-by: -
