With !CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS, runnable tasks in /proc/sched_debug has too many columns than required. Fix this by printing appropriate columns. While at this, print sum_exec_runtime, since this information is available even in !CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS case.

Changeset a43455a1 ("sched/numa: Ensure task_numa_migrate() checks the preferred node") fixes an issue where workloads would never converge on a fully loaded (or overloaded) system. However, it introduces a regression on less than fully loaded systems, where workloads converge on a few NUMA nodes, instead of properly staying spread out across the whole system. This leads to a reduction in available memory bandwidth, and usable CPU cache, with predictable performance problems. The root cause appears to be an interaction between the load balancer and NUMA balancing, where the short term load represented by the load balancer differs from the long term load the NUMA balancing code would like to base its decisions on. Simply reverting a43455a1 would re-introduce the non-convergence of workloads on fully loaded systems, so that is not a good option. As an aside, the check done before a43455a1 only applied to a task's preferred node, not to other candidate nodes in the system, so the converge-on-too-few-nodes problem still happens, just to a lesser degree. Instead, try to compensate for the impedance mismatch between the load balancer and NUMA balancing by only ever considering a lesser loaded node as a destination for NUMA balancing, regardless of whether the task is trying to move to the preferred node, or to another node. This patch also addresses the issue that a system with a single runnable thread would never migrate that thread to near its memory, introduced by 095bebf6 ("sched/numa: Do not move past the balance point if unbalanced"). A test where the main thread creates a large memory area, and spawns a worker thread to iterate over the memory (placed on another node by select_task_rq_fair), after which the main thread goes to sleep and waits for the worker thread to loop over all the memory now sees the worker thread migrated to where the memory is, instead of having all the memory migrated over like before. Jirka has run a number of performance tests on several systems: single instance SpecJBB 2005 performance is 7-15% higher on a 4 node system, with higher gains on systems with more cores per socket. Multi-instance SpecJBB 2005 (one per node), linpack, and stream see little or no changes with the revert of 095bebf6 and this patch.

Commit 095bebf6 ("sched/numa: Do not move past the balance point if unbalanced") broke convergence of workloads with just one runnable thread, by making it impossible for the one runnable thread on the system to move from one NUMA node to another. Instead, the thread would remain where it was, and pull all the memory across to its location, which is much slower than just migrating the thread to where the memory is. The next patch has a better fix for the issue that 095bebf6 tried to address.

The optimized task selection logic optimistically selects a new task to run without first doing a full put_prev_task(). This is so that we can avoid a put/set on the common ancestors of the old and new task. Similarly, we should only call check_cfs_rq_runtime() to throttle eligible groups if they're part of the common ancestry, otherwise it is possible to end up with no eligible task in the simple task selection. Imagine: /root /prev /next /A /B If our optimistic selection ends up throttling /next, we goto simple and our put_prev_task() ends up throttling /prev, after which we're going to bug out in set_next_entity() because there aren't any tasks left. Avoid this scenario by only throttling common ancestors.

Since function tracing disables preemption, it needs a safe preemption point to use when preemption is re-enabled without worrying about tracing recursion. Ie: to avoid tracing recursion, that preemption point can't be traced (use of notrace qualifier) and it can't call any traceable function before that preemption point disables preemption itself, which disarms the recursion. preempt_schedule() was fine until commit: b30f0e3f ("sched/preempt: Optimize preemption operations on __schedule() callers") because PREEMPT_ACTIVE (which has the property to disable preemption and this disarm tracing preemption recursion) was set before calling any further function. But that commit introduced the use of preempt_count_add/sub() functions to set PREEMPT_ACTIVE and because these functions are called before preemption gets a chance to be disabled, we have a tracing recursion. preempt_schedule_context() is one of the possible preemption functions used by tracing. Its special purpose is to avoid tracing recursion against context tracking. Lets enhance this function to become more generally tracing safe by disabling preemption with raw accessors, such that no function is called before preemption gets disabled and disarm the tracing recursion. This function is going to become the specific tracing-safe preemption point in further commit.

When we come to tear things down in netback_remove() and generate the uevent it is possible that the xenstore directory has already been removed (details below). In such cases netback_uevent() won't be able to read the hotplug script and will write a xenstore error node. A recent change to the hypervisor exposed this race such that we now sometimes lose it (where apparently we didn't ever before). Instead read the hotplug script configuration during setup and use it for the lifetime of the backend device. The apparently more obvious fix of moving the transition to state=Closed in netback_remove() to after the uevent does not work because it is possible that we are already in state=Closed (in reaction to the guest having disconnected as it shutdown). Being already in Closed means the toolstack is at liberty to start tearing down the xenstore directories. In principal it might be possible to arrange to unregister the device sooner (e.g on transition to Closing) such that xenstore would still be there but this state machine is fragile and prone to anger... A modern Xen system only relies on the hotplug uevent for driver domains, when the backend is in the same domain as the toolstack it will run the necessary setup/teardown directly in the correct sequence wrt xenstore changes.

sparc: Resolve conflict between sparc v9 and M7 on usage of bit 9 of TTE Bit 9 of TTE is CV (Cacheable in V-cache) on sparc v9 processor while the same bit 9 is MCDE (Memory Corruption Detection Enable) on M7 processor. This creates a conflicting usage of the same bit. Kernel sets TTE.cv bit on all pages for sun4v architecture which works well for sparc v9 but enables memory corruption detection on M7 processor which is not the intent. This patch adds code to determine if kernel is running on M7 processor and takes steps to not enable memory corruption detection in TTE erroneously.

While shuffling some code around, dsa_switch_setup_one() was introduced, and it was modified to return either an error code using ERR_PTR() or a NULL pointer when running out of memory or failing to setup a switch. This is a problem for its caler: dsa_switch_setup() which uses IS_ERR() and expects to find an error code, not a NULL pointer, so we still try to proceed with dsa_switch_setup() and operate on invalid memory addresses. This can be easily reproduced by having e.g: the bcm_sf2 driver built-in, but having no such switch, such that drv->setup will fail. Fix this by using PTR_ERR() consistently which is both more informative and avoids for the caller to use IS_ERR_OR_NULL().

Linux 3.17 and earlier are explicitly engineered so that if the app doesn't specifically request a CC module on a listener before the SYN arrives, then the child gets the system default CC when the connection is established. See tcp_init_congestion_control() in 3.17 or earlier, which says "if no choice made yet assign the current value set as default". The change ("net: tcp: assign tcp cong_ops when tcp sk is created") altered these semantics, so that children got their parent listener's congestion control even if the system default had changed after the listener was created. This commit returns to those original semantics from 3.17 and earlier, since they are the original semantics from 2007 in 4d4d3d1e ("[TCP]: Congestion control initialization."), and some Linux congestion control workflows depend on that. In summary, if a listener socket specifically sets TCP_CONGESTION to "x", or the route locks the CC module to "x", then the child gets "x". Otherwise the child gets current system default from net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control. That's the behavior in 3.17 and earlier, and this commit restores that.

We have two problems in UDP stack related to bogus checksums : 1) We return -EAGAIN to application even if receive queue is not empty. This breaks applications using edge trigger epoll() 2) Under UDP flood, we can loop forever without yielding to other processes, potentially hanging the host, especially on non SMP. This patch is an attempt to make things better. We might in the future add extra support for rt applications wanting to better control time spent doing a recv() in a hostile environment. For example we could validate checksums before queuing packets in socket receive queue.

Also included is a target_core_pscsi driver fix from Andy that addresses a long standing issue with a Scsi_Host reference being leaked on PSCSI device shutdown" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: iser-target: Fix error path in isert_create_pi_ctx() target: Use a PASSTHROUGH flag instead of transport_types target: Move passthrough CDB parsing into a common function target/user: Only support full command pass-through target/user: Update example code for new ABI requirements target/pscsi: Don't leak scsi_host if hba is VIRTUAL_HOST target: Fix se_tpg_tfo->tf_subsys regression + remove tf_subsystem target: Drop signal_pending checks after interruptible lock acquire target: Add missing parentheses target: Fix bidi command handling target/user: Disallow full passthrough (pass_level=0) ISCSI: fix minor memory leak

Bug in the driver initialization causes soft-lockup if firmware initialization timeout is reached. Polling function bfa_ioc_poll_fwinit() incorrectly calls bfa_nw_iocpf_timeout() when the timeout is reached. The problem is that bfa_nw_iocpf_timeout() calls again bfa_ioc_poll_fwinit()... etc. The bfa_ioc_poll_fwinit() should directly send timeout event for iocpf and the same should be done if firmware download into HW fails.

Driver starts iocpf timer prior bnad_ioceth_enable() call and this is unreasonable. This piece of code probably originates from Brocade/Qlogic out-of-box driver during initial import into upstream. This driver uses only one timer and queue to implement multiple timers and this timer is started at this place. The upstream driver uses multiple timers instead of this.

Firmware required by bna is stored in appropriate files as sequence of LE32 integers. After loading by request_firmware() they need to be byte-swapped on big-endian arches. Without this conversion the NIC is unusable on big-endian machines. Cc: Rasesh Mody <rasesh.mody@qlogic.com> Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

br_multicast_query_expired() querier argument is a pointer to a struct bridge_mcast_querier : struct bridge_mcast_querier { struct br_ip addr; struct net_bridge_port __rcu *port; }; Intent of the code was to clear port field, not the pointer to querier.
