Martin Blumenstingl says: ==================== net: phy: realtek: fix RTL8211F TX-delay handling The RTL8211F PHY driver currently enables the TX-delay only when the phy-mode is PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII. This is incorrect, because there are three RGMII variations of the phy-mode which explicitly request the PHY to enable the RX and/or TX delay, while PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII specifies that the PHY should disable the RX and/or TX delays. Additionally to the RTL8211F PHY driver change this contains a small update to the phy-mode documentation to clarify the purpose of the RGMII phy-modes. While this may not be perfect yet it's at least a start. Please feel free to drop this patch from this series and send an improved version yourself.

The old logic always enabled the TX-delay when the phy-mode was set to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII. There are dedicated phy-modes which tell the PHY driver to enable the RX and/or TX delays: - PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII should disable the RX and TX delay in the PHY (if required, the MAC should add the delays in this case) - PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID should enable RX and TX delay in the PHY - PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID should enable the TX delay in the PHY - PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID should enable the RX delay in the PHY (currently not supported by RTL8211F) With this patch we enable the TX delay for PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID and PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID. Additionally we now explicity disable the TX-delay, which seems to be enabled automatically after a hard-reset of the PHY (by triggering it's reset pin) to get a consistent state (as defined by the phy-mode). This fixes a compatibility problem with some SoCs where the TX-delay was also added by the MAC. With the TX-delay being applied twice the TX clock was off and TX traffic was broken or very slow (<10Mbit/s) on 1000Mbit/s links.

RGMII requires special RX and/or TX delays depending on the actual hardware circuit/wiring. These delays can be added by the MAC, the PHY or the designer of the circuit (the latter means that no delay has to be added by PHY or MAC). There are 4 RGMII phy-modes used describe where a delay should be applied: - rgmii: the RX and TX delays are either added by the MAC (where the exact delay is typically configurable, and can be turned off when no extra delay is needed) or not needed at all (because the hardware wiring adds the delay already). The PHY should neither add the RX nor TX delay in this case. - rgmii-rxid: configures the PHY to enable the RX delay. The MAC should not add the RX delay in this case. - rgmii-txid: configures the PHY to enable the TX delay. The MAC should not add the TX delay in this case. - rgmii-id: combines rgmii-rxid and rgmii-txid and thus configures the PHY to enable the RX and TX delays. The MAC should neither add the RX nor TX delay in this case. Document these cases in the ethernet.txt documentation to make it clear when to use each mode. If applied incorrectly one might end up with MAC and PHY both enabling for example the TX delay, which breaks ethernet TX traffic on 1000Mbit/s links.

Roi reported a crash in flower where tp->root was NULL in ->classify() callbacks. Reason is that in ->destroy() tp->root is set to NULL via RCU_INIT_POINTER(). It's problematic for some of the classifiers, because this doesn't respect RCU grace period for them, and as a result, still outstanding readers from tc_classify() will try to blindly dereference a NULL tp->root. The tp->root object is strictly private to the classifier implementation and holds internal data the core such as tc_ctl_tfilter() doesn't know about. Within some classifiers, such as cls_bpf, cls_basic, etc, tp->root is only checked for NULL in ->get() callback, but nowhere else. This is misleading and seemed to be copied from old classifier code that was not cleaned up properly. For example, d3fa76ee ("[NET_SCHED]: cls_basic: fix NULL pointer dereference") moved tp->root initialization into ->init() routine, where before it was part of ->change(), so ->get() had to deal with tp->root being NULL back then, so that was indeed a valid case, after d3fa76ee, not really anymore. We used to set tp->root to NULL long ago in ->destroy(), see 47a1a1d4 ("pkt_sched: remove unnecessary xchg() in packet classifiers"); but the NULLifying was reintroduced with the RCUification, but it's not correct for every classifier implementation. In the cases that are fixed here with one exception of cls_cgroup, tp->root object is allocated and initialized inside ->init() callback, which is always performed at a point in time after we allocate a new tp, which means tp and thus tp->root was not globally visible in the tp chain yet (see tc_ctl_tfilter()). Also, on destruction tp->root is strictly kfree_rcu()'ed in ->destroy() handler, same for the tp which is kfree_rcu()'ed right when we return from ->destroy() in tcf_destroy(). This means, the head object's lifetime for such classifiers is always tied to the tp lifetime. The RCU callback invocation for the two kfree_rcu() could be out of order, but that's fine since both are independent. Dropping the RCU_INIT_POINTER(tp->root, NULL) for these classifiers here means that 1) we don't need a useless NULL check in fast-path and, 2) that outstanding readers of that tp in tc_classify() can still execute under respect with RCU grace period as it is actually expected. Things that haven't been touched here: cls_fw and cls_route. They each handle tp->root being NULL in ->classify() path for historic reasons, so their ->destroy() implementation can stay as is. If someone actually cares, they could get cleaned up at some point to avoid the test in fast path. cls_u32 doesn't set tp->root to NULL. For cls_rsvp, I just added a !head should anyone actually be using/testing it, so it at least aligns with cls_fw and cls_route. For cls_flower we additionally need to defer rhashtable destruction (to a sleepable context) after RCU grace period as concurrent readers might still access it. (Note that in this case we need to hold module reference to keep work callback address intact, since we only wait on module unload for all call_rcu()s to finish.) This fixes one race to bring RCU grace period guarantees back. Next step as worked on by Cong however is to fix 1e052be6 ("net_sched: destroy proto tp when all filters are gone") to get the order of unlinking the tp in tc_ctl_tfilter() for the RTM_DELTFILTER case right by moving RCU_INIT_POINTER() before tcf_destroy() and let the notification for removal be done through the prior ->delete() callback. Both are independant issues. Once we have that right, we can then clean tp->root up for a number of classifiers by not making them RCU pointers, which requires a new callback (->uninit) that is triggered from tp's RCU callback, where we just kfree() tp->root from there.

In commit e4bf4f76 ("tipc: simplify packet sequence number handling") we changed the internal representation of the packet sequence number counters from u32 to u16, reflecting what is really sent over the wire. Since then some link statistics counters have been displaying incorrect values, partially because the counters meant to be used as sequence number snapshots are now used as direct counters, stored as u32, and partially because some counter updates are just missing in the code. In this commit we correct this in two ways. First, we base the displayed packet sent/received values on direct counters instead of as previously a calculated difference between current sequence number and a snapshot. Second, we add the missing updates of the counters. This change is compatible with the current netlink API, and requires no changes to the user space tools.

In commit 10724cc7 ("tipc: redesign connection-level flow control") we replaced the previous message based flow control with one based on 1k blocks. In order to ensure backwards compatibility the mechanism falls back to using message as base unit when it senses that the peer doesn't support the new algorithm. The default flow control window, i.e., how many units can be sent before the sender blocks and waits for an acknowledge (aka advertisement) is 512. This was tested against the previous version, which uses an acknowledge frequency of on ack per 256 received message, and found to work fine. However, we missed the fact that versions older than Linux 3.15 use an acknowledge frequency of 512, which is exactly the limit where a 4.6+ sender will stop and wait for acknowledge. This would also work fine if it weren't for the fact that if the first sent message on a 4.6+ server side is an empty SYNACK, this one is also is counted as a sent message, while it is not counted as a received message on a legacy 3.15-receiver. This leads to the sender always being one step ahead of the receiver, a scenario causing the sender to block after 512 sent messages, while the receiver only has registered 511 read messages. Hence, the legacy receiver is not trigged to send an acknowledge, with a permanently blocked sender as result. We solve this deadlock by simply allowing the sender to send one more message before it blocks, i.e., by a making minimal change to the condition used for determining connection congestion.

In commit 35c55c98 ("tipc: add neighbor monitoring framework") we added a data area to the link monitor STATE messages under the assumption that previous versions did not use any such data area. For versions older than Linux 4.3 this assumption is not correct. In those version, all STATE messages sent out from a node inadvertently contain a 16 byte data area containing a string; -a leftover from previous RESET messages which were using this during the setup phase. This string serves no purpose in STATE messages, and should no be there. Unfortunately, this data area is delivered to the link monitor framework, where a sanity check catches that it is not a correct domain record, and drops it. It also issues a rate limited warning about the event. Since such events occur much more frequently than anticipated, we now choose to remove the warning in order to not fill the kernel log with useless contents. We also make the sanity check stricter, to further reduce the risk that such data is inavertently admitted. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 81729810 ("tipc: fix link priority propagation") introduced a compatibility problem between TIPC versions newer than Linux 4.6 and those older than Linux 4.4. In versions later than 4.4, link STATE messages only contain a non-zero link priority value when the sender wants the receiver to change its priority. This has the effect that the receiver resets itself in order to apply the new priority. This works well, and is consistent with the said commit. However, in versions older than 4.4 a valid link priority is present in all sent link STATE messages, leading to cyclic link establishment and reset on the 4.6+ node. We fix this by adding a test that the received value should not only be valid, but also differ from the current value in order to cause the receiving link endpoint to reset.

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller: "On parisc we were still seeing occasional random segmentation faults and memory corruption on SMP machines. Dave Anglin then looked again at the TLB related code and found two issues in the PCI DMA and generic TLB flush functions. Then, in our startup code we had some timing of the cache and TLB functions to calculate a threshold when to use a complete TLB/cache flush or just to flush a specific range. This code produced a race with newly started CPUs and thus lead to occasional kernel crashes (due to stale TLB/cache entries). The patch by Dave fixes this issue by flushing the local caches before starting secondary CPUs and by removing the race. The last problem fixed by this series is that we quite often suffered from hung tasks and self-detected stalls on the CPUs. It was somehow clear that this was related to the (in v4.7) newly introduced cr16 clocksource and the own implementation of sched_clock(). I replaced the open-coded sched_clock() function and switched to the generic sched_clock() implementation which seems to have fixed this isse as well.

Specifics: - Revert the recent commit that caused the ACPI _PTS method to be executed in the power-off/reboot code path (as per the specification) in an attempt to improve things on some systems (apparently expecting _PTS to be executed in that code path), but broke power-off/reboot on at least one other machine (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix kernel builds with the new WDAT watchdog driver enabled in some configurations by explicitly selecting WATCHDOG_CORE when enabling the WDAT watchdog driver (Mika Westerberg)" * tag 'acpi-4.9-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: watchdog: wdat_wdt: Select WATCHDOG_CORE Revert "ACPI: Execute _PTS before system reboot"

Following the kernel Bugzilla discussion during the Kernel Summit (https://lwn.net/Articles/705245/), add bug tracking system location entry type (B) to MAINTAINERS and populate it for several subsystems known to be using the kernel BZ actively (and add the upstream BZ for ACPICA too).

This reverts commit 0317e6c0. Srinivas reported recently touchscreen and touchpad stopped working in Haswell based machine in Linux 4.9-rc series with timeout errors from i2c_designware: [ 16.508013] i2c_designware INT33C3:00: controller timed out [ 16.508302] i2c_hid i2c-MSFT0001:02: failed to change power setting. [ 17.532016] i2c_designware INT33C3:00: controller timed out [ 18.556022] i2c_designware INT33C3:00: controller timed out [ 18.556315] i2c_hid i2c-ATML1000:00: failed to retrieve report from device. I managed to reproduce similar errors on another Haswell based machine where touchscreen initialization fails maybe in every 1/5 - 1/2 boots. Since root cause for these errors is not clear yet and debugging is ongoing it's better to revert this commit as we are near to release.
