git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux Pull <linux/device.h> avoidance patches from Paul Gortmaker: "Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like: void foo(struct device *dev); and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the sub fields within the device struct. This allows us to significantly reduce the scope of headers including headers. For this instance, a reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct. Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two commits. One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever possible." * tag 'device-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir device.h: cleanup users outside of linux/include (C files)

Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman: - Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity. Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing network devices. sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully this means the code is now approachable. Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until something was found that was usable. - The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation is fixed. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl: (36 commits) sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go away sysctl: Don't call sysctl_follow_link unless we are a link. sysctl: Comments to make the code clearer. sysctl: Correct error return from get_subdir sysctl: An easier to read version of find_subdir sysctl: fix memset parameters in setup_sysctl_set() sysctl: remove an unused variable sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users sysctl: Index sysctl directories with rbtrees. sysctl: Make the header lists per directory. sysctl: Move sysctl_check_dups into insert_header sysctl: Modify __register_sysctl_paths to take a set instead of a root and an nsproxy sysctl: Replace root_list with links between sysctl_table_sets. sysctl: Add sysctl_print_dir and use it in get_subdir sysctl: Stop requiring explicit management of sysctl directories sysctl: Add a root pointer to ctl_table_set sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_readdir in terms of first_entry and next_entry sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup introducing find_entry and lookup_entry. sysctl: Normalize the root_table data structure. sysctl: Factor out insert_header and erase_header ...
2012-03-23poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functionsHans Verkuil1-1/+1
In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

2012-03-22bonding: remove entries for master_ip and vlan_ip and query devices insteadAndy Gospodarek1-0/+1
The following patch aimed to resolve an issue where secondary, tertiary, etc. addresses added to bond interfaces could overwrite the bond->master_ip and vlan_ip values. commit 917fbdb32f37e9a93b00bb12ee83532982982df3 Author: Henrik Saavedra Persson <henrik.e.persson@ericsson.com> Date: Wed Nov 23 23:37:15 2011 +0000 bonding: only use primary address for ARP That patch was good because it prevented bonds using ARP monitoring from sending frames with an invalid source IP address. Unfortunately, it didn't always work as expected. When using an ioctl (like ifconfig does) to set the IP address and netmask, 2 separate ioctls are actually called to set the IP and netmask if the mask chosen doesn't match the standard mask for that class of address. The first ioctl did not have a mask that matched the one in the primary address and would still cause the device address to be overwritten. The second ioctl that was called to set the mask would then detect as secondary and ignored, but the damage was already done. This was not an issue when using an application that used netlink sockets as the setting of IP and netmask came down at once. The inconsistent behavior between those two interfaces was something that needed to be resolved. While I was thinking about how I wanted to resolve this, Ralf Zeidler came with a patch that resolved this on a RHEL kernel by keeping a full shadow of the entries in dev->ifa_list for the bonding device and vlan devices in the bonding driver. I didn't like the duplication of the list as I want to see the 'bonding' struct and code shrink rather than grow, but liked the general idea. As the Subject indicates this patch drops the master_ip and vlan_ip elements from the 'bonding' and 'vlan_entry' structs, respectively. This can be done because a device's address-list is now traversed to determine the optimal source IP address for ARP requests and for checks to see if the bonding device has a particular IP address. This code could have all be contained inside the bonding driver, but it made more sense to me to EXPORT and call inet_confirm_addr since it did exactly what was needed. I tested this and a backported patch and everything works as expected. Ralf also helped with verification of the backported patch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar: - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.) This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from regular, function histogram centric profiles. The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result looks like this in perf report: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system calls, traps, interrupts, etc. This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI support in perf report. - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies. It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other improvements. - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc. - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h generic facility: struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; ... if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little impact to the likely code path as possible. the static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching. This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key usage and fast/slow cost patterns. - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support. - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows better, etc. - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes', and a corner case bugfix. - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk). - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side. - 'perf bench' improvements - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made these features possible.

2012-03-19tcp: reduce out_of_order memory useEric Dumazet2-1/+19
With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes. Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in many cases. When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true latency killer and cpu cache blower. Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the tcp_collapse() thing later. Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due to low socket buffer" I had before. This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets. With help from Neal Cardwell.

2012-03-19SUNRPC: We must not use list_for_each_entry_safe() in rpc_wake_up()Trond Myklebust1-4/+11
The problem is that for the case of priority queues, we have to assume that __rpc_remove_wait_queue_priority will move new elements from the tk_wait.links lists into the queue->tasks[] list. We therefore cannot use list_for_each_entry_safe() on queue->tasks[], since that will skip these new tasks that __rpc_remove_wait_queue_priority is adding. Without this fix, rpc_wake_up and rpc_wake_up_status will both fail to wake up all functions on priority wait queues, which can result in some nasty hangs.

I found recently that the arp_process function which handles all of our received arp frames, is using IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL macro to check the state of the arp_process flag. This seems wrong, as it implies that either none or all of the network interfaces accept gratuitous arps. This patch corrects that, allowing per-interface arp_accept configuration to deviate from the all setting. Note this also brings us into line with the way the arp_filter setting is handled during arp_process execution. Tested this myself on my home network, and confirmed it works as expected.

This reverts commit d47a0ac7b6 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of flows) As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects. In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for unlimited amount of time. It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would add complexity outside of SFQ scope. A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.

2012-03-13mac80211: Don't let regulatory make us deafPaul Stewart4-19/+51
When regulatory information changes our HT behavior (e.g, when we get a country code from the AP we have just associated with), we should use this information to change the power with which we transmit, and what channels we transmit. Sometimes the channel parameters we derive from regulatory information contradicts the parameters we used in association. For example, we could have associated specifying HT40, but the regulatory rules we apply may forbid HT40 operation. In the situation above, we should reconfigure ourselves to transmit in HT20 only, however it makes no sense for us to disable receive in HT40, since if we associated with these parameters, the AP has every reason to expect we can and will receive packets this way. The code in mac80211 does not have the capability of sending the appropriate action frames to signal a change in HT behaviour so the AP has no clue we can no longer receive frames encoded this way. In some broken AP implementations, this can leave us effectively deaf if the AP never retries in lower HT rates. This change breaks up the channel_type parameter in the ieee80211_enable_ht function into a separate receive and transmit part. It honors the channel flags set by regulatory in order to configure the rate control algorithm, but uses the capability flags to configure the channel on the radio, since these were used in association to set the AP's transmit rate.
