This is supposed to loop 1000 times and then give up. The problem is it's a post-op and after the loop we test if "loop" is zero when really it would be -1. Fix this by making it a pre-op.

Commit e0d56fdd was a bit aggressive removing l3mdev calls in the IPv4 stack. If the fib_lookup fails we do not want to drop to make_route if the oif is an l3mdev device.

Andrew Lunn authored
The phy_start() is used to indicate the PHY is now ready to do its work. The state is changed, normally to PHY_UP which means that both the MAC and the PHY are ready. If the phy driver is using polling, when the next poll happens, the state machine notices the PHY is now in PHY_UP, and kicks off auto-negotiation, if needed. If however, the PHY is using interrupts, there is no polling. The phy is stuck in PHY_UP until the next interrupt comes along. And there is no reason for the PHY to interrupt. Have phy_start() schedule the state machine to run, which both speeds up the polling use case, and makes the interrupt use case actually work. This problems exists whenever there is a state change which will not cause an interrupt. Trigger the state machine in these cases, e.g. phy_error().

The software calculation of UDP checksum in Netvsc driver was only handling IPv4 case. By using skb_checksum_help() instead all protocols can be handled. Rearrange code to eliminate goto and look like other drivers. This is a temporary solution; recent versions of Window Server etc do support UDP checksum offload, just need to do the appropriate negotiation with host to validate before using.

WANG Cong authored
Krister reported a kernel NULL pointer dereference after tcf_action_init_1() invokes a_o->init(), it is a race condition where one thread calling tcf_register_action() to initialize the netns data after putting act ops in the global list and the other thread searching the list and then calling a_o->init(net, ...). Fix this by moving the pernet ops registration before making the action ops visible. This is fine because: a) we don't rely on act_base in pernet ops->init(), b) in the worst case we have a fully initialized netns but ops is still not ready so new actions still can't be created.

If a VIF has been ready for rx_stall_timeout (60s by default) and an Rx ring is drained of all requests an Rx stall will be incorrectly detected. When this occurs and the guest Rx queue is empty, the Rx ring's event index will not be set and the frontend will not raise an event when new requests are placed on the ring, permanently stalling the VIF. This is a regression introduced by eb1723a2 (xen-netback: refactor guest rx). Fix this by reinstating the setting of queue->last_rx_time when placing a packet onto the guest Rx ring.

Fix is to create MLX5_ARRAY_SET64 that takes an additional argument that is the field index to separate between BUILD_BUG_ON on the array constant field and the indexed field to assign the value to. There are two callers of MLX5_SET64 that are trying to get a variable offset, change those to call MLX5_ARRAY_SET64 passing 'pas' and 'i' as the arguments to use in the offset check and the indexed value assignment.

The Quectel EC21 and EC25 need the same "set DTR" request as devices based on the MDM9230 chipset, but has no USB3 support. Our best guess is that the "set DTR" functionality depends on chipset and/or baseband firmware generation. But USB3 is still an optional feature. Since we cannot enable this unconditionally for all older devices, and there doesn't appear to be anything we can use in the USB descriptors to identify these chips, we are forced to use a device specific quirk flag.

It is useful to be able to see the hash configuration when running tests. This patch adds a debugfs node for that purpose. The original version of this patch (commit c0c64c15) was reverted due to build failures caused by a conflict with commit 0364a882 ("xen-netback: switch to threaded irq for control ring"). This new version of the patch is nearly identical to the original, the only difference being that creation of the debugfs node is predicated on 'ctrl_irq' being non-zero rather then the now non-existent 'ctrl_task'.

There are two ways to get tc filters from kernel to user space. 1) Full dump (tc_dump_tfilter()) 2) RTM_GETTFILTER to get one precise filter, reducing overhead. The second operation is unfortunately broadcasting its result, polluting "tc monitor" users. This patch makes sure only the requester gets the result, using netlink_unicast() instead of rtnetlink_send() Jamal cooked an iproute2 patch to implement "tc filter get" operation, but other user space libraries already use RTM_GETTFILTER when a single filter is queried, instead of dumping all filters.

mapping->flags currently encodes two different things into a single flag. It contains sticky gfp_mask for page cache allocations and AS_ codes used to report errors/enospace and other states which are mapping specific. Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it also complicates other things. For one thing the gfp flags space is reduced and in fact we are already running out of available bits. It can be assumed that more gfp flags will be necessary later on. To not introduce the address_space grow (at least on x86_64) we can stick it right after private_lock because we have a hole there. struct address_space { struct inode * host; /* 0 8 */ struct radix_tree_root page_tree; /* 8 16 */ spinlock_t tree_lock; /* 24 4 */ atomic_t i_mmap_writable; /* 28 4 */ struct rb_root i_mmap; /* 32 8 */ struct rw_semaphore i_mmap_rwsem; /* 40 40 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */ long unsigned int nrpages; /* 80 8 */ long unsigned int nrexceptional; /* 88 8 */ long unsigned int writeback_index; /* 96 8 */ const struct address_space_operations * a_ops; /* 104 8 */ long unsigned int flags; /* 112 8 */ spinlock_t private_lock; /* 120 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ struct list_head private_list; /* 128 16 */ void * private_data; /* 144 8 */ /* size: 152, cachelines: 3, members: 14 */ /* sum members: 148, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160912114852.GI14524@dhcp22.suse.czSigned-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Previously hung_task_panic would not be respected if enabled after hung_task_warnings had already been decremented to 0. Permit the kernel to panic if hung_task_panic is enabled after hung_task_warnings has already been decremented to 0 and another task hangs for hung_task_timeout_secs seconds. Check if hung_task_panic is enabled so we don't return prematurely, and check if hung_task_warnings is non-zero so we don't print the warning unnecessarily.

I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags parameter but I believe that we will want more flags in the future. Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member in struct kthread. Well, I guess that we will want to rework the basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge the two structures.

There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event happens. This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues. It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it again with the given timeout. A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time. It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync() or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running. This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier. First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been queued after it was initialized. Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between. Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to avoid any queuing. Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be the list of either normal or delayed works. Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter. As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use kthread_flush_work(). Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works will be pretty useful. The implementation is inspired by workqueues. It uses a timer to queue the work after the requested delay. If the delay is zero, the work is queued immediately. In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker (kthread). Therefore the implementation could be much easier. In particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with the work. We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable. In fact, we do not need any state variable at all. Instead, we add a list of delayed works into the worker. Then the pending work is listed either in the list of queued or delayed works. And the existing check of pending works is the same even for the delayed ones. A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized. Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid and it could simply take the lock. We just add some sanity checks to help with debugging a potential misuse.

Nothing currently prevents a work from queuing for a kthread worker when it is already running on another one. This means that the work might run in parallel on more than one worker. Also some operations are not reliable, e.g. flush. This problem will be even more visible after we add kthread_cancel_work() function. It will only have "work" as the parameter and will use worker->lock to synchronize with others. Well, normally this is not a problem because the API users are sane. But bugs might happen and users also might be crazy. This patch adds a warning when we try to insert the work for another worker. It does not fully prevent the misuse because it would make the code much more complicated without a big benefit. It adds the same warning also into kthread_flush_work() instead of the repeated attempts to get the right lock. A side effect is that one needs to explicitly reinitialize the work if it must be queued into another worker. This is needed, for example, when the worker is stopped and started again. It is a bit inconvenient. But it looks like a good compromise between the stability and complexity. I have double checked all existing users of the kthread worker API and they all seems to initialize the work after the worker gets started. Just for completeness, the patch adds a check that the work is not already in a queue. The patch also puts all the checks into a separate function. It will be reused when implementing delayed works.
