Providing raw performance data via a tool that directly access data from NTB w/o any software overhead. This allows measurement of the hardware performance limit. In revision one we are only doing single direction CPU and DMA writes. Eventually we will provide bi-directional writes. The measurement using DMA engine for NTB performance measure does not measure the raw performance of DMA engine over NTB due to software overhead. But it should provide the peak performance through the Linux DMA driver.

Looks like we have a GPMC bus timing bug that has gone unnoticed because of bootloader configured registers until few days ago. We are not detecting the onenand clock rate properly unless we have CONFIG_OMAP_GPMC_DEBUG set and this causes onenand corruption that can be easily be reproduced. There seems to be also an additional bug still lurking around for onenand corruption. But that is still being investigated and it does not seem to be GPMC timings related. Meanwhile, it would be good to get this fix into v4.4 to prevent wrong timings from corrupting onenand. * tag 'omap-for-v4.4/onenand-corruption' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap: ARM: OMAP2+: Fix onenand rate detection to avoid filesystem corruption

This reverts commit d3805611. If we end up splitting on the first segment, we don't adjust the sector count. That results in hitting a BUG() with attempting to split 0 sectors. As this is just a performance issue and not a regression since 4.3 release, let's just rever this change. That gives us more time to test a real fix for 4.5, which would be marked for stable anyway.

This will remove any allocations made for that module, and nothing if ftrace_module_init() wasn't called yet for that module. Note, once do_init_module() is called, the MODULE_GOING notifiers are called for the failed module, which calls into the ftrace code to do the proper clean up (basically calling ftrace_release_mod())" * tag 'trace-v4.4-rc4-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/module: Call clean up function when module init fails early

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
If the module init code fails after calling ftrace_module_init() and before calling do_init_module(), we can suffer from a memory leak. This is because ftrace_module_init() allocates pages to store the locations that ftrace hooks are placed in the module text. If do_init_module() fails, it still calls the MODULE_GOING notifiers which will tell ftrace to do a clean up of the pages it allocated for the module. But if load_module() fails before then, the pages allocated by ftrace_module_init() will never be freed. Call ftrace_release_mod() on the module if load_module() fails before getting to do_init_module().

Commit 69fb4dca ("power: Add an axp20x-usb-power driver") introduced a new driver for the USB power supply used on various Allwinner based SBCs. However, the driver was not added to multi_v7_defconfig which breaks USB support for some boards (e.g. LeMaker BananaPi) as the kernel will now turn off the USB power supply during boot by default if the driver isn't present. (This was not the case in linux 4.3 or lower where the USB power was always left on.) Hence, add the driver to multi_v7_defconfig in order to keep USB support working on those boards that require it.

When mapping a non-page-aligned scatterlist entry, we copy the original offset to the output DMA address before aligning it to hand off to iommu_map_sg(), then later adding the IOVA page address portion to get the final mapped address. However, when the IOVA page size is smaller than the CPU page size, it is the offset within the IOVA page we want, not that within the CPU page, which can easily be larger than an IOVA page and thus result in an incorrect final address. Fix the bug by taking only the IOVA-aligned part of the offset as the basis of the DMA address, not the whole thing.

Commit 0976c946 "arm/versatile: Fix versatile irq specifications" has an off-by-one error on the Versatile AB that has been regressing the Versatile AB hardware for some time. However it seems like the interrupt assignments have never been correct and I have now adjusted them according to the specification. The masks for the valid interrupts made it impossible to assign the right SIC interrupt for the MMCI, so I went in and fixed these to correspond to the specifications, and added references if anyone wants to double-check. Due to the Versatile PB including the Versatile AB as a base DTS file, we need to override and correct some values to correspond to the actual changes in the hardware. For the Versatile PB I don't think the IRQ line assignment for MMCI has ever been correct for either of the two MMCI blocks. It would be nice if someone with the physical PB board could test this. Patch tested on the Versatile AB, QEMU for Versatile AB and QEMU for Versatile PB.

Patch 3759824d ("tcp: PRR uses CRB mode by default and SS mode conditionally") introduced a bug that cwnd may become 0 when both inflight and sndcnt are 0 (cwnd = inflight + sndcnt). This may lead to a div-by-zero if the connection starts another cwnd reduction phase by setting tp->prior_cwnd to the current cwnd (0) in tcp_init_cwnd_reduction(). To prevent this we skip PRR operation when nothing is acked or sacked. Then cwnd must be positive in all cases as long as ssthresh is positive: 1) The proportional reduction mode inflight > ssthresh > 0 2) The reduction bound mode a) inflight == ssthresh > 0 b) inflight < ssthresh sndcnt > 0 since newly_acked_sacked > 0 and inflight < ssthresh Therefore in all cases inflight and sndcnt can not both be 0. We check invalid tp->prior_cwnd to avoid potential div0 bugs. In reality this bug is triggered only with a sequence of less common events. For example, the connection is terminating an ECN-triggered cwnd reduction with an inflight 0, then it receives reordered/old ACKs or DSACKs from prior transmission (which acks nothing). Or the connection is in fast recovery stage that marks everything lost, but fails to retransmit due to local issues, then receives data packets from other end which acks nothing.
