struct softnet_data holds many queues, so consistent use "sd" name
instead of "queue" is better.
Adds a rps_ipi_queued() helper to cleanup enqueue_to_backlog()
Adds a _and_irq_disable suffix to net_rps_action() name, as David
suggested.
incr_input_queue_head() becomes input_queue_head_incr()

net_rps_action() is a bit expensive on NR_CPUS=64..4096 kernels, even if
RPS is not active.
Tom Herbert used two bitmasks to hold information needed to send IPI,
but a single LIFO list seems more appropriate.
Move all RPS logic into net_rps_action() to cleanup net_rx_action() code
(remove two ifdefs)
Move rps_remote_softirq_cpus into softnet_data to share its first cache
line, filling an existing hole.
In a future patch, we could call net_rps_action() from process_backlog()
to make sure we send IPI before handling this cpu backlog.

This patch implements receive flow steering (RFS). RFS steers
received packets for layer 3 and 4 processing to the CPU where
the application for the corresponding flow is running. RFS is an
extension of Receive Packet Steering (RPS).
The basic idea of RFS is that when an application calls recvmsg
(or sendmsg) the application's running CPU is stored in a hash
table that is indexed by the connection's rxhash which is stored in
the socket structure. The rxhash is passed in skb's received on
the connection from netif_receive_skb. For each received packet,
the associated rxhash is used to look up the CPU in the hash table,
if a valid CPU is set then the packet is steered to that CPU using
the RPS mechanisms.
The convolution of the simple approach is that it would potentially
allow OOO packets. If threads are thrashing around CPUs or multiple
threads are trying to read from the same sockets, a quickly changing
CPU value in the hash table could cause rampant OOO packets--
we consider this a non-starter.
To avoid OOO packets, this solution implements two types of hash
tables: rps_sock_flow_table and rps_dev_flow_table.
rps_sock_table is a global hash table. Each entry is just a CPU
number and it is populated in recvmsg and sendmsg as described above.
This table contains the "desired" CPUs for flows.
rps_dev_flow_table is specific to each device queue. Each entry
contains a CPU and a tail queue counter. The CPU is the "current"
CPU for a matching flow. The tail queue counter holds the value
of a tail queue counter for the associated CPU's backlog queue at
the time of last enqueue for a flow matching the entry.
Each backlog queue has a queue head counter which is incremented
on dequeue, and so a queue tail counter is computed as queue head
count + queue length. When a packet is enqueued on a backlog queue,
the current value of the queue tail counter is saved in the hash
entry of the rps_dev_flow_table.
And now the trick: when selecting the CPU for RPS (get_rps_cpu)
the rps_sock_flow table and the rps_dev_flow table for the RX queue
are consulted. When the desired CPU for the flow (found in the
rps_sock_flow table) does not match the current CPU (found in the
rps_dev_flow table), the current CPU is changed to the desired CPU
if one of the following is true:
- The current CPU is unset (equal to RPS_NO_CPU)
- Current CPU is offline
- The current CPU's queue head counter >= queue tail counter in the
rps_dev_flow table. This checks if the queue tail has advanced
beyond the last packet that was enqueued using this table entry.
This guarantees that all packets queued using this entry have been
dequeued, thus preserving in order delivery.
Making each queue have its own rps_dev_flow table has two advantages:
1) the tail queue counters will be written on each receive, so
keeping the table local to interrupting CPU s good for locality. 2)
this allows lockless access to the table-- the CPU number and queue
tail counter need to be accessed together under mutual exclusion
from netif_receive_skb, we assume that this is only called from
device napi_poll which is non-reentrant.
This patch implements RFS for TCP and connected UDP sockets.
It should be usable for other flow oriented protocols.
There are two configuration parameters for RFS. The
"rps_flow_entries" kernel init parameter sets the number of
entries in the rps_sock_flow_table, the per rxqueue sysfs entry
"rps_flow_cnt" contains the number of entries in the rps_dev_flow
table for the rxqueue. Both are rounded to power of two.
The obvious benefit of RFS (over just RPS) is that it achieves
CPU locality between the receive processing for a flow and the
applications processing; this can result in increased performance
(higher pps, lower latency).
The benefits of RFS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application
load, and other factors. On simple benchmarks, we don't necessarily
see improvement and sometimes see degradation. However, for more
complex benchmarks and for applications where cache pressure is
much higher this technique seems to perform very well.
Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of
this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR
test with 1 byte req. and resp. The RPC test is an request/response
test similar in structure to netperf RR test ith 100 threads on
each host, but does more work in userspace that netperf.

The aggregation code has a number of quirks, like
inventing an unneeded WLAN_BACK_TIMER value and
leaking memory under certain circumstances during
station destruction. Fix these issues by using
the regular aggregation session teardown code and
blocking new aggregation sessions, all before the
station is really destructed.
As a side effect, this gets rid of the long code
block to destroy aggregation safely.
Additionally, rename tid_state_rx which can only
have the values IDLE and OPERATIONAL to
tid_active_rx to make it easier to understand
that there is no bitwise stuff going on on the
RX side -- the TX side remains because it needs
to keep track of the driver and peer states.

cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association
commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements,
user space applications may need to clear authentication or
association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with
deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication
or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to
allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other
deauth/disassoc operations being completed.
Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in
the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange
in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an
authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without
sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication
command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to
indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This
enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully.

The new enh_desc is used for selecting the enhanced descriptors
structure. There are several scenarios; some chips (mac10/100
or gmac) want to use the enhanced descriptors; others want the normal
ones.
For example, on ST platforms: MAC10/100 uses the normal desc structure
and the GMAC uses the enhanced one.
It can be useful to get this information from the platform.
This could also be decided at run-time looking at the chip's ID number;
but it could happen that chips with the same ID want to use different
descriptor structure.

This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances,
named "tables".
Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by
issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT_TABLE. The table number is
stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ipmr setsockopt(),
getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT_TABLE_DEFAULT)
is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pimreg
devices have the table number appended ("pimregX"), with the exception of
devices created in the default table, which are named just "pimreg" for
compatibility reasons.
Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules,
similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark
are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported
additionally.
Example usage:
- bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table:
uint32_t table = 123;
setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table));
- create routing rules directing packets to the new table:
# ip mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123
# ip mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123

Decouple the address family values used for fib_rules from the real
address families in socket.h. This allows to use fib_rules for
code that is not a real address family without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.
Values up to 127 are reserved for real address families and map directly
to the corresponding AF value, values starting from 128 are for other
uses. rtnetlink is changed to invoke the AF_UNSPEC dumpit/doit handlers
for these families.

dev_consume_skb and kfree_skb_clean have no users and in the case of
kfree_skb_clean could cause potential build issues since I cannot find
where it is defined. Based on the patch in which it was introduced it
appears to have been a bit of leftover code from an earlier version of the
patch in which kfree_skb_clean was dropped in favor of consume_skb.

This macro worked only when applied to variables named 'kobj'.
While this could have been fixed by simply renaming the macro argument,
a more type-safe replacement by an inline function would be preferred.
However, nobody uses this macro, so it's simpler to just remove it.

lcm() was defined to take integer-sized arguments. The supplied
arguments are multiplied, however, causing us to overflow given
sufficiently large input. That in turn led to incorrect optimal I/O
size reporting in some cases (RAID over RAID).
Switch lcm() over to unsigned long similar to gcd() and move the
function from blk-settings.c to lib.

Do not pin/unpin superblock for every inode in writeback_inodes_wb(), pin
it for the whole group of inodes which belong to the same superblock and

radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():
if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
saw_unset_tag = 1;
if (height == 1) {
int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);
may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.
The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".
The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:
BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag);
This has been seen happening in FS-Cache:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html
To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.

As suggested by Linus, introduce a kern_ptr_validate() helper that does some
sanity checks to make sure a pointer is a valid kernel pointer. This is a
preparational step for fixing SLUB kmem_ptr_validate().

Most drives from Seagate, Hitachi, and possibly other brands,
do not allow LBA28 access to sector number 0x0fffffff (2^28 - 1).
So instead use LBA48 for such accesses.
This bug could bite a lot of systems, especially when the user has
taken care to align partitions to 4KB boundaries. On misaligned systems,
it is less likely to be encountered, since a 4KB read would end at
0x10000000 rather than at 0x0fffffff.

I noticed that my KVM virtual machines were experiencing IDE
issues resulting in processes stuck on waiting for buffers to
complete.
The root cause is of course race conditions in the ancient qemu
backend that I'm using. However, the fact that the guest isn't
recovering is a bug.
I've tracked it down to the change made last year to dequeue
requests at the start rather than at the end in the IDE layer.

ide: dequeue in-flight request
The problem is that the function ide_dma_timeout_retry does not
requeue the current request, causing one request to be lost for
each DMA timeout.
This patch fixes this by requeueing the request.

This allows arch code could decide the way to reserve the ibft.
And we should reserve ibft as early as possible, instead of BOOTMEM
stage, in case the table is in RAM range and is not reserved by BIOS
(this will often be the case.)
Move to just after find_smp_config().
Also when CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, We will not have reserve_bootmem() anymore.

Presently, memcg's FILE_MAPPED accounting has following race with
move_account (happens at rmdir()).
increment page->mapcount (rmap.c)
mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() move_account()
lock_page_cgroup()
check page_mapped() if
page_mapped(page)>1 {
FILE_MAPPED -1 from old memcg
FILE_MAPPED +1 to old memcg
}
.....
overwrite pc->mem_cgroup
unlock_page_cgroup()
lock_page_cgroup()
FILE_MAPPED + 1 to pc->mem_cgroup
unlock_page_cgroup()
Then,
old memcg (-1 file mapped)
new memcg (+2 file mapped)
This happens because move_account see page_mapped() which is not guarded
by lock_page_cgroup(). This patch adds FILE_MAPPED flag to page_cgroup
and move account information based on it. Now, all checks are synchronous
with lock_page_cgroup().

When we look into pagemap using page-types with option -p, the value of
pfn for hugepages looks wrong (see below.) This is because pte was
evaluated only once for one vma although it should be updated for each
hugepage. This patch fixes it.
$ page-types -p 3277 -Nl -b huge
voffset offset len flags
7f21e8a00 11e400 1 ___U___________H_G________________
7f21e8a01 11e401 1ff ________________TG________________
^^^
7f21e8c00 11e400 1 ___U___________H_G________________
7f21e8c01 11e401 1ff ________________TG________________
^^^
One hugepage contains 1 head page and 511 tail pages in x86_64 and each
two lines represent each hugepage. Voffset and offset mean virtual
address and physical address in the page unit, respectively. The
different hugepages should not have the same offset value.
With this patch applied:
$ page-types -p 3386 -Nl -b huge
voffset offset len flags
7fec7a600 112c00 1 ___UD__________H_G________________
7fec7a601 112c01 1ff ________________TG________________
^^^
7fec7a800 113200 1 ___UD__________H_G________________
7fec7a801 113201 1ff ________________TG________________
^^^
OK
More info:
- This patch modifies walk_page_range()'s hugepage walker. But the
change only affects pagemap_read(), which is the only caller of hugepage
callback.
- Without this patch, hugetlb_entry() callback is called per vma, that
doesn't match the natural expectation from its name.
- With this patch, hugetlb_entry() is called per hugepte entry and the
callback can become much simpler.

Commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke
the raw driver.
We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync ->
vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has:
if (!fop || !fop->fsync) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out;
}
But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method.
We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm
happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it
is rarely used.
The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of
the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over.
If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be
useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

DECLARE_KFIFO creates a union with a struct kfifo and a buffer array with
size [size + sizeof(struct kfifo)].
INIT_KFIFO then sets the buffer pointer in struct kfifo to point to the
beginning of the buffer array which means that the first call to kfifo_in
will overwrite members of the struct kfifo.

Some BIOSes don't configure HPA during boot but do so while resuming.
This causes harddrives to shrink during resume making libata detach
and reattach them. This can be worked around by unlocking HPA if old
size equals native size.
Add ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA so that HPA unlocking can be controlled
per-device and update ata_dev_revalidate() such that it sets
ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA and fails with -EIO when the above condition is
detected.
This patch fixes the following bug.

Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed.
However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may
be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation
may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment,
leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its
actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to
this race.
Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this
race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are
other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is
exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine.
Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of
module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The
increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will
always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is
the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a
low-refcount from being returned.
