2012-08-20tipc: add __read_mostly annotations to several global variablesYing Xue3-11/+11
Added to the following: - tipc_random - tipc_own_addr - tipc_max_ports - tipc_net_id - tipc_remote_management - handler_enabled The above global variables are read often, but written rarely. Use __read_mostly to prevent them being on the same cacheline as another variable which is written to often, which would cause cacheline bouncing.

After eliminating the mechanism which checks whether all letters in media name string are within a given character set, the media_name_valid routine becomes trivial.

But the ptype_lock has been taken by dev_add_pack() on CPU0, so at this time the dev_add_pack() running on CPU1 has to be busy looping. Time 2 on CPU0: netif_receive_skb()->recv_msg()->tipc_recv_msg() At time 2, an incoming TIPC packet arrives at CPU0, hence tipc_recv_msg() will be invoked. In tipc_recv_msg(), it first wants to hold tipc_net_lock. At the moment, below scenario happens: On CPU0, below is our sequence of taking locks: lock(ptype_lock)->lock(tipc_net_lock) On CPU1, our sequence of taking locks looks like: lock(tipc_net_lock)->lock(ptype_lock) Obviously deadlock may happen in this case. But please note the deadlock possibly doesn't occur at all when the first TIPC bearer is enabled. Before enable_bearer() -- running on CPU1 does not hold ptype_lock, so the TIPC receive handler (i.e. recv_msg()) is not registered successfully via dev_add_pack(), so the tipc_recv_msg() cannot be called by recv_msg() even if a TIPC message comes to CPU0. But when the second TIPC bearer is registered, the deadlock can perhaps really happen. To fix it, we will push the work of registering TIPC protocol handler into workqueue context. After the change, both paths taking ptype_lock are always in process contexts, thus, the deadlock should never occur.

2012-08-09net: Make ifindex generation per-net namespacePavel Emelyanov1-2/+2
Strictly speaking this is only _really_ required for checkpoint-restore to make loopback device always have the same index. This change appears to be safe wrt "ifindex should be unique per-system" concept, as all the ifindex usage is either already made per net namespace of is explicitly limited with init_net only. There are two cool side effects of this. The first one -- ifindices of devices in container are always small, regardless of how many containers we've started (and re-started) so far. The second one is -- we can speed up the loopback ifidex access as shown in the next patch. v2: Place ifindex right after dev_base_seq : avoid two holes and use the same cache line, dirtied in list_netdevice()/unlist_netdevice() Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-08-09net: Allow to create links with given ifindexPavel Emelyanov2-6/+13
Currently the RTM_NEWLINK results in -EOPNOTSUPP if the ifinfomsg->ifi_index is not zero. I propose to allow requesting ifindices on link creation. This is required by the checkpoint-restore to correctly restore a net namespace (i.e. -- a container).

2012-08-09time: jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() helper to the rescueEric Dumazet6-19/+16
Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed in clock_t units. This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed to jiffies_to_clock_t(). This function has an overflow in : return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ); commit cbbc719fccdb8cb (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type to unsigned long) only got around the problem. As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.
