2014-07-27inet: frag: set limits and make init_net's high_thresh limit globalNikolay Aleksandrov1-1/+2
This patch makes init_net's high_thresh limit to be the maximum for all namespaces, thus introducing a global memory limit threshold equal to the sum of the individual high_thresh limits which are capped. It also introduces some sane minimums for low_thresh as it shouldn't be able to drop below 0 (or > high_thresh in the unsigned case), and overall low_thresh should not ever be above high_thresh, so we make the following relations for a namespace: init_net: high_thresh - max(not capped), min(init_net low_thresh) low_thresh - max(init_net high_thresh), min (0) all other namespaces: high_thresh = max(init_net high_thresh), min(namespace's low_thresh) low_thresh = max(namespace's high_thresh), min(0) The major issue with having low_thresh > high_thresh is that we'll schedule eviction but never evict anything and thus rely only on the timers.

2014-07-27inet: frag: remove periodic secret rebuild timerFlorian Westphal1-10/+0
merge functionality into the eviction workqueue. Instead of rebuilding every n seconds, take advantage of the upper hash chain length limit. If we hit it, mark table for rebuild and schedule workqueue. To prevent frequent rebuilds when we're completely overloaded, don't rebuild more than once every 5 seconds. ipfrag_secret_interval sysctl is now obsolete and has been marked as deprecated, it still can be changed so scripts won't be broken but it won't have any effect. A comment is left above each unused secret_timer variable to avoid confusion. Joint work with Nikolay Aleksandrov.

2014-07-27inet: frag: move eviction of queues to work queueFlorian Westphal1-1/+3
When the high_thresh limit is reached we try to toss the 'oldest' incomplete fragment queues until memory limits are below the low_thresh value. This happens in softirq/packet processing context. This has two drawbacks: 1) processors might evict a queue that was about to be completed by another cpu, because they will compete wrt. resource usage and resource reclaim. 2) LRU list maintenance is expensive. But when constantly overloaded, even the 'least recently used' element is recent, so removing 'lru' queue first is not 'fairer' than removing any other fragment queue. This moves eviction out of the fast path: When the low threshold is reached, a work queue is scheduled which then iterates over the table and removes the queues that exceed the memory limits of the namespace. It sets a new flag called INET_FRAG_EVICTED on the evicted queues so the proper counters will get incremented when the queue is forcefully expired. When the high threshold is reached, no more fragment queues are created until we're below the limit again. The LRU list is now unused and will be removed in a followup patch.

2014-07-15net-timestamp: document deprecated syststampWillem de Bruijn1-2/+8
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HW. This feature is deprecated. It should not be implemented by new device drivers. Existing drivers do not implement it, either -- with one exception. Driver developers are encouraged to expose the NIC hw clock as a PTP HW clock source, instead, and synchronize system time to the HW source. The control flag cannot be removed due to being part of the ABI, nor can the structure scm_timestamping that is returned. Due to the one legacy driver, the internal datapath and structure are not removed. This patch only clearly marks the interface as deprecated. Device drivers should always return a syststamp value of zero.

2014-07-15net: add name_assign_type netdev attributeTom Gundersen1-0/+11
Based on a patch by David Herrmann. The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined: NET_NAME_ENUM: The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may be reused and unpredictable. NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a given device. Examples include statically created devices like the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE. NET_NAME_USER: The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup. NET_NAME_RENAMED: The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set, it cannot change again. NET_NAME_UNKNOWN: This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather -EINVAL is returned. The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name. If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such names NET_NAME_USER. If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled NET_NAME_RENAMED. In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE. We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not be exposed to userspace. The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM. Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit. v8: minor documentation fixes v9: move comment to the right commit Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Reviewed-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-07-11ARM: EXYNOS: Add support for clock handling in power domainPrathyush K1-0/+20
While powering on/off a local powerdomain in exynos5 chipsets, the input clocks to each device gets modified. This behaviour is based on the SYSCLK_SYS_PWR_REG registers. E.g. SYSCLK_MFC_SYS_PWR_REG = 0x0, the parent of input clock to MFC (aclk333) gets modified to oscclk = 0x1, no change in clocks. The recommended value of SYSCLK_SYS_PWR_REG before power gating any domain is 0x0. So we must also restore the clocks while powering on a domain everytime. This patch adds the framework for getting the required mux and parent clocks through a power domain device node. With this patch, while powering off a domain, parent is set to oscclk and while powering back on, its re-set to the correct parent which is as per the recommended pd on/off sequence.

2014-07-07ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmitTom Herbert1-0/+9
Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit. The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality of RFC 6438. Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this functionality per socket. By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we may want to enable it by default. It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD, automatic flow labels default to enabled. Performance impact: Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.

2014-07-01pktgen: document tuning for max NIC performanceJesper Dangaard Brouer1-0/+28
Using pktgen I'm seeing the ixgbe driver "push-back", due TX ring running full. Thus, the TX ring is artificially limiting pktgen. (Diagnose via "ethtool -S", look for "tx_restart_queue" or "tx_busy" counters.) Using ixgbe, the real reason behind the TX ring running full, is due to TX ring not being cleaned up fast enough. The ixgbe driver combines TX+RX ring cleanups, and the cleanup interval is affected by the ethtool --coalesce setting of parameter "rx-usecs". Do not increase the default NIC TX ring buffer or default cleanup interval. Instead simply document that pktgen needs special NIC tuning for maximum packet per sec performance. Performance results with pktgen with clone_skb=100000. TX ring size 512 (default), adjusting "rx-usecs": (Single CPU performance, E5-2630, ixgbe) - 3935002 pps - rx-usecs: 1 (irqs: 9346) - 5132350 pps - rx-usecs: 10 (irqs: 99157) - 5375111 pps - rx-usecs: 20 (irqs: 50154) - 5454050 pps - rx-usecs: 30 (irqs: 33872) - 5496320 pps - rx-usecs: 40 (irqs: 26197) - 5502510 pps - rx-usecs: 50 (irqs: 21527) TX ring size adjusting (ethtool -G), "rx-usecs==1" (default): - 3935002 pps - tx-size: 512 - 5354401 pps - tx-size: 768 - 5356847 pps - tx-size: 1024 - 5327595 pps - tx-size: 1536 - 5356779 pps - tx-size: 2048 - 5353438 pps - tx-size: 4096 Notice after commit 6f25cd47d (pktgen: fix xmit test for BQL enabled devices) pktgen uses netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped() and ignores the BQL "stack" pause (QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF) flag. This allow us to put more pressure on the TX ring buffers.

2014-07-01ipv6: Allow accepting RA from local IP addresses.Ben Greear1-0/+12
This can be used in virtual networking applications, and may have other uses as well. The option is disabled by default. A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or virtual machines. With proper use of ip rules, routing tables, veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces, and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses, it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple hosts attached. The host interfaces can act as IPv6 systems, with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers. With the option provided in this patch enabled, those hosts can now properly obtain IPv6 addresses from the radvd. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-06-29ARM: 8076/1: mm: add support for HW coherent systems in PL310 cacheThomas Petazzoni1-0/+3
When a PL310 cache is used on a system that provides hardware coherency, the outer cache sync operation is useless, and can be skipped. Moreover, on some systems, it is harmful as it causes deadlocks between the Marvell coherency mechanism, the Marvell PCIe controller and the Cortex-A9. To avoid this, this commit introduces a new Device Tree property 'arm,io-coherent' for the L2 cache controller node, valid only for the PL310 cache. It identifies the usage of the PL310 cache in an I/O coherent configuration. Internally, it makes the driver disable the outer cache sync operation. Note that technically speaking, a fully coherent system wouldn't require any of the other .outer_cache operations. However, in practice, when booting secondary CPUs, these are not yet coherent, and therefore a set of cache maintenance operations are necessary at this point. This explains why we keep the other .outer_cache operations and only ->sync is disabled. While in theory any write to a PL310 register could cause the deadlock, in practice, disabling ->sync is sufficient to workaround the deadlock, since the other cache maintenance operations are only used in very specific situations. Contrary to previous versions of this patch, this new version does not simply NULL-ify the ->sync member, because the l2c_init_data structures are now 'const' and therefore cannot be modified, which is a good thing. Therefore, this patch introduces a separate l2c_init_data instance, called of_l2c310_coherent_data.

2014-06-25ALSA: hda - Adjust speaker HPF and add LED support for HP Spectre 13Takashi Iwai1-0/+5
HP Spectre 13 has the IDT 92HD95 codec, and BIOS seems to set the default high-pass filter in some "safer" range, which results in the very soft tone from the built-in speakers in contrast to Windows. Also, the mute LED control is missing, since 92HD95 codec still has no HP-specific fixups for GPIO setups. This patch adds these missing features: the HPF is adjusted by the vendor-specific verb, and the LED is set up from a DMI string (but with the default polarity = 0 assumption due to the incomplete BIOS on the given machine).

2014-06-23kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detectionAaron Tomlin2-0/+22
A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving other tasks a chance to run. Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system log. On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be insufficient to assist debugging efforts. To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain a stack trace. If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

If a value in the range [1, 7] is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL. This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.
