tg3_tso_bug() was originally designed to handle only HW TX ring 0, Commit
d3f6f3a1d8 ("tg3: Prevent page allocation failure
during TSO workaround") changed the driver logic to use tg3_tso_bug() for all
HW TX rings that are enabled. This patch fixes the regression by modifying
tg3_tso_bug() to handle multiple HW TX rings.

The following series of patches includes fixes/updates to the driver.
- Use dma_set_mask_and_coherent to set the DMA mask
- Move the phy connect/disconnect logic to allow for module unloading
Changes in V2:

A change added to the mdiobus/phy api added a module_get/module_put
during phy connect/disconnect processing. Currently, the driver
performs a phy connect during module probe and a phy disconnect during
module remove. With the addition of the module_get during phy connect
the amd-xgbe module use count is incremented and can no longer be
unloaded.
Move the phy connect/disconnect from the driver probe/remove functions
to the net_device_ops ndo_open/ndo_stop functions. This allows the
module use count to be decremented when the device(s) are brought down
and allows the module to be unloaded.

Upon reception of a new frame, the emac driver checks for a number
of error conditions, and flag the packet as "bad" if any of these
are present. It then allocates a skb unconditionally, but only uses
it if the packet is "good". On the error path, the skb is just forgotten,
and the system leaks memory.
The piece of junk I have on my desk seems to encounter such error
frequently enough so that the box goes OOM after a couple of days,
which makes me grumpy.
Fix this by moving the allocation on the "good_packet" path (and
convert it to netdev_alloc_skb while we're at it).
Tested on a random Allwinner A20 board.

The problem with the original commit is explained by Russell King:
"It has the effect (as can be seen from the oops) of attaching the MDIO bus
device (itself is a bus-less device) to the platform driver, which means
that if the platform driver supports power management, it will be called
to power manage the MDIO bus device.
Moreover, drivers do not expect to be called for power management
operations for devices which they haven't probed, and certainly not for
devices which aren't part of the same bus that the driver is registered
against."

====================
pull request: batman-adv 2014-08-05
this is a pull request intended for net-next/linux-3.17 (yeah..it's really
late).
Patches 1, 2 and 4 are really minor changes:
- kmalloc_array is substituted to kmalloc when possible (as suggested by
checkpatch);
- net_ratelimited() is now used properly and the "suppressed" message is not
printed anymore if not needed;
- the internal version number has been increased to reflect our current version.
Patch 3 instead is introducing a change in the metric computation function
by changing the penalty applied at each mesh hop from 15/255 (~6%) to
30/255 (~11%). This change is introduced by Simon Wunderlich after having
observed a performance improvement in several networks when using the new value.

net-timestamp: new tx tstamps and tcp
Extend socket tx timestamping:
- allow multiple types of software timestamps aside from send (1)
- add software timestamp on enter packet scheduling (4)
- add software timestamp for TCP (5)
- add software timestamp for TCP on ACK (6)
The sk_flags option space is nearly exhausted. Also move the
many timestamp options to a new sk->sk_tstamps (2).
To disambiguate data when tstamps may arrive out of order,
optionally return a sequential ID assigned at send (3).
Extend Linux tx timestamping to monitoring of latency
incurred within the kernel stack and to protocols embedded in TCP.
Complex kernel setups may have multiple layers of queueing, including
multiple instances of packet scheduling, and many classes per layer.
Many applications embed discrete payloads into TCP bytestreams for
reliability, flow control, etcetera. Detecting application tail
latency in such scenarios relies on identifying the exact queue
responsible if on the host, or the network latency if otherwise.
Changelog:
v4->v5
- define SCM_TSTAMP_SND == 0, for legacy behavior
- add TCP tstamps without changing the generated byte stream
- modify GSO and ACK to find offset: slightly more complex
than previous invariant that it is the last byte
- consistent naming of packet scheduling
- rename SCM_TSTAMP_ENQ to SCM_TSTAMP_SCHED
- add unique key in ee_data
- add id field in ee_info to disambiguate tstamps
- optional, only on new flag SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID
- for bytestream, in bytes
v3->v4
- (v3 review comment) removed skb->mark packet identification (*A)
- (v3 review comment) fixed indentation
- tcp: fixed poll() to return POLLERR on non-zero queue
- rebased to work without syststamp
- comments: removed all traces of MSG_TSTAMP_.. (*B)
v2->v3
- extend the SO_TIMESTAMPING API, instead of defining a new one.
- add protocol independent support to correlate tstamps with data,
based on returning skb->mark.
- removed no-payload optimization and documentation (for now):
I have a follow-on patch that reintroduces MSG_TSTAMP along with a
new socket option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ONFLAG. This is equivalent
to sequence setsockopt(<enable>); send(..); setsockopt(<disable>),
but avoids the need to define a MSG_TSTAMP_<TYPE> for each type.
I will leave these three patches as follow-on, as this patchset is
large enough as is.
v1->v2
- expand timestamping (existing and new) to SOCK_RAW and ping sockets
- rename sock_errqueue_timestamping to scm_timestamping
- change timestamp data format: do not add fields to scm_timestamping.
Doing so could break legacy applications. Instead, communicate
through an existing, but unused, field in the error message.
- rename SOF_.._OPT_TX_NO_PAYLOAD to shorter SOF_.._OPT_TSONLY
- move msg_tstamp test app out of patchset and to github

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK, a request for a tstamp when the last byte
in the send() call is acknowledged. It implements the feature for TCP.
The timestamp is generated when the TCP socket cumulative ACK is moved
beyond the tracked seqno for the first time. The feature ignores SACK
and FACK, because those acknowledge the specific byte, but not
necessarily the entire contents of the buffer up to that byte.

TCP timestamping extends SO_TIMESTAMPING to bytestreams.
Bytestreams do not have a 1:1 relationship between send() buffers and
network packets. The feature interprets a send call on a bytestream as
a request for a timestamp for the last byte in that send() buffer.
The choice corresponds to a request for a timestamp when all bytes in
the buffer have been sent. That assumption depends on in-order kernel
transmission. This is the common case. That said, it is possible to
construct a traffic shaping tree that would result in reordering.
The guarantee is strong, then, but not ironclad.
This implementation supports send and sendpages (splice). GSO replaces
one large packet with multiple smaller packets. This patch also copies
the option into the correct smaller packet.
This patch does not yet support timestamping on data in an initial TCP
Fast Open SYN, because that takes a very different data path.
If ID generation in ee_data is enabled, bytestream timestamps return a
byte offset, instead of the packet counter for datagrams.
The implementation supports a single timestamp per packet. It silenty
replaces requests for previous timestamps. To avoid missing tstamps,
flush the tcp queue by disabling Nagle, cork and autocork. Missing
tstamps can be detected by offset when the ee_data ID is enabled.
Implementation details:
- On GSO, the timestamping code can be included in the main loop. I
moved it into its own loop to reduce the impact on the common case
to a single branch.
- To avoid leaking the absolute seqno to userspace, the offset
returned in ee_data must always be relative. It is an offset between
an skb and sk field. The first is always set (also for GSO & ACK).
The second must also never be uninitialized. Only allow the ID
option on sockets in the ESTABLISHED state, for which the seqno
is available. Never reset it to zero (instead, move it to the
current seqno when reenabling the option).

Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler.

Datagrams timestamped on transmission can coexist in the kernel stack
and be reordered in packet scheduling. When reading looped datagrams
from the socket error queue it is not always possible to unique
correlate looped data with original send() call (for application
level retransmits). Even if possible, it may be expensive and complex,
requiring packet inspection.
Introduce a data-independent ID mechanism to associate timestamps with
send calls. Pass an ID alongside the timestamp in field ee_data of
sock_extended_err.
The ID is a simple 32 bit unsigned int that is associated with the
socket and incremented on each send() call for which software tx
timestamp generation is enabled.
The feature is enabled only if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID is set, to
avoid changing ee_data for existing applications that expect it 0.
The counter is reset each time the flag is reenabled. Reenabling
does not change the ID of already submitted data. It is possible
to receive out of order IDs if the timestamp stream is not quiesced
first.

sk_flags is reaching its limit. New timestamping options will not fit.
Move all of them into a new field sk->sk_tsflags.
Added benefit is that this removes boilerplate code to convert between
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_.. and SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_.. in getsockopt/setsockopt.
SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is also used to toggle the receive
timestamp logic (netstamp_needed). That can be simplified and this
last key removed, but will leave that for a separate patch.

This commit reduces spurious retransmits due to apparent SACK reneging
by only reacting to SACK reneging that persists for a short delay.
When a sequence space hole at snd_una is filled, some TCP receivers
send a series of ACKs as they apparently scan their out-of-order queue
and cumulatively ACK all the packets that have now been consecutiveyly
received. This is essentially misbehavior B in "Misbehaviors in TCP
SACK generation" ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, April
2011, so we suspect that this is from several common OSes (Windows
2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP). However, this issue has also
been seen in other cases, e.g. the netdev thread "TCP being hoodwinked
into spurious retransmissions by lack of timestamps?" from March 2014,
where the receiver was thought to be a BSD box.
Since snd_una would temporarily be adjacent to a previously SACKed
range in these scenarios, this receiver behavior triggered the Linux
SACK reneging code path in the sender. This led the sender to clear
the SACK scoreboard, enter CA_Loss, and spuriously retransmit
(potentially) every packet from the entire write queue at line rate
just a few milliseconds before the ACK for each packet arrives at the
sender.
To avoid such situations, now when a sender sees apparent reneging it
does not yet retransmit, but rather adjusts the RTO timer to give the
receiver a little time (max(RTT/2, 10ms)) to send us some more ACKs
that will restore sanity to the SACK scoreboard. If the reneging
persists until this RTO then, as before, we clear the SACK scoreboard
and enter CA_Loss.
A 10ms delay tolerates a receiver sending such a stream of ACKs at
56Kbit/sec. And to allow for receivers with slower or more congested
paths, we wait for at least RTT/2.
We validated the resulting max(RTT/2, 10ms) delay formula with a mix
of North American and South American Google web server traffic, and
found that for ACKs displaying transient reneging:
(1) 90% of inter-ACK delays were less than 10ms
(2) 99% of inter-ACK delays were less than RTT/2
In tests on Google web servers this commit reduced reneging events by
75%-90% (as measured by the TcpExtTCPSACKReneging counter), without
any measurable impact on latency for user HTTP and SPDY requests.

people have been asking for for a long time.
- Improved support for switch only "regulators", allowing current state
to be read from the parent regulator but no setting.
- Support for obtaining the register access method used to set
voltages, for use in systems which can offload control of this to a
coprocessor (typically for DVFS).

"A couple of nice new features this month, the ability to map
regulators in order to allow voltage control by external coprocessors
is something people have been asking for for a long time.
- improved support for switch only "regulators", allowing current
state to be read from the parent regulator but no setting.
- support for obtaining the register access method used to set
voltages, for use in systems which can offload control of this to a
coprocessor (typically for DVFS).

xen-netback: Changes around carrier handling
This series starts using carrier off as a way to purge packets when the guest is
not able (or willing) to receive them. It is a much faster way to get rid of
packets waiting for an overwhelmed guest.
The first patch changes current netback code where it relies currently on
netif_carrier_ok.
The second turns off the carrier if the guest times out on a queue, and only
turn it on again if that queue (or queues) resurrects.

Currently when the guest is not able to receive more packets, qdisc layer starts
a timer, and when it goes off, qdisc is started again to deliver a packet again.
This is a very slow way to drain the queues, consumes unnecessary resources and
slows down other guests shutdown.
This patch change the behaviour by turning the carrier off when that timer
fires, so all the packets are freed up which were stucked waiting for that vif.
Instead of the rx_queue_purge bool it uses the VIF_STATUS_RX_PURGE_EVENT bit to
signal the thread that either the timeout happened or an RX interrupt arrived,
so the thread can check what it should do. It also disables NAPI, so the guest
can't transmit, but leaves the interrupts on, so it can resurrect.
Only the queues which brought down the interface can enable it again, the bit
QUEUE_STATUS_RX_STALLED makes sure of that.

For people who don't trust a hardware RNG which can not be audited,
the changes to add support for RDSEED can be troubling since 97% or
more of the entropy will be contributed from the in-CPU hardware RNG.
We now have a in-kernel khwrngd, so for those people who do want to
implicitly trust the CPU-based system, we could create an arch-rng
hw_random driver, and allow khwrng refill the entropy pool. This
allows system administrator whether or not they trust the CPU (I
assume the NSA will trust RDRAND/RDSEED implicitly :-), and if so,
what level of entropy derating they want to use.
The reason why this is a really good idea is that if different people
use different levels of entropy derating, it will make it much more
difficult to design a backdoor'ed hwrng that can be generally
exploited in terms of the output of /dev/random when different attack
targets are using differing levels of entropy derating.

The getrandom(2) system call was requested by the LibreSSL Portable
developers. It is analoguous to the getentropy(2) system call in
OpenBSD.
The rationale of this system call is to provide resiliance against
file descriptor exhaustion attacks, where the attacker consumes all
available file descriptors, forcing the use of the fallback code where
/dev/[u]random is not available. Since the fallback code is often not
well-tested, it is better to eliminate this potential failure mode
entirely.
The other feature provided by this new system call is the ability to
request randomness from the /dev/urandom entropy pool, but to block
until at least 128 bits of entropy has been accumulated in the
/dev/urandom entropy pool. Historically, the emphasis in the
/dev/urandom development has been to ensure that urandom pool is
initialized as quickly as possible after system boot, and preferably
before the init scripts start execution.
This is because changing /dev/urandom reads to block represents an
interface change that could potentially break userspace which is not
acceptable. In practice, on most x86 desktop and server systems, in
general the entropy pool can be initialized before it is needed (and
in modern kernels, we will printk a warning message if not). However,
on an embedded system, this may not be the case. And so with this new
interface, we can provide the functionality of blocking until the
urandom pool has been initialized. Any userspace program which uses
this new functionality must take care to assure that if it is used
during the boot process, that it will not cause the init scripts or
other portions of the system startup to hang indefinitely.
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/random.h>
int getrandom(void *buf, size_t buflen, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The system call getrandom() fills the buffer pointed to by buf
with up to buflen random bytes which can be used to seed user
space random number generators (i.e., DRBG's) or for other
cryptographic uses. It should not be used for Monte Carlo
simulations or other programs/algorithms which are doing
probabilistic sampling.
If the GRND_RANDOM flags bit is set, then draw from the
/dev/random pool instead of the /dev/urandom pool. The
/dev/random pool is limited based on the entropy that can be
obtained from environmental noise, so if there is insufficient
entropy, the requested number of bytes may not be returned.
If there is no entropy available at all, getrandom(2) will
either block, or return an error with errno set to EAGAIN if
the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags.
If the GRND_RANDOM bit is not set, then the /dev/urandom pool
will be used. Unlike using read(2) to fetch data from
/dev/urandom, if the urandom pool has not been sufficiently
initialized, getrandom(2) will block (or return -1 with the
errno set to EAGAIN if the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags).
The getentropy(2) system call in OpenBSD can be emulated using
the following function:
int getentropy(void *buf, size_t buflen)
{
int ret;
if (buflen > 256)
goto failure;
ret = getrandom(buf, buflen, 0);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
if (ret == buflen)
return 0;
failure:
errno = EIO;
return -1;
}
RETURN VALUE
On success, the number of bytes that was filled in the buf is
returned. This may not be all the bytes requested by the
caller via buflen if insufficient entropy was present in the
/dev/random pool, or if the system call was interrupted by a
signal.
On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EINVAL An invalid flag was passed to getrandom(2)
EFAULT buf is outside the accessible address space.
EAGAIN The requested entropy was not available, and
getentropy(2) would have blocked if the
GRND_NONBLOCK flag was not set.
EINTR While blocked waiting for entropy, the call was
interrupted by a signal handler; see the description
of how interrupted read(2) calls on "slow" devices
are handled with and without the SA_RESTART flag
in the signal(7) man page.
NOTES
For small requests (buflen <= 256) getrandom(2) will not
return EINTR when reading from the urandom pool once the
entropy pool has been initialized, and it will return all of
the bytes that have been requested. This is the recommended
way to use getrandom(2), and is designed for compatibility
with OpenBSD's getentropy() system call.
However, if you are using GRND_RANDOM, then getrandom(2) may
block until the entropy accounting determines that sufficient
environmental noise has been gathered such that getrandom(2)
will be operating as a NRBG instead of a DRBG for those people
who are working in the NIST SP 800-90 regime. Since it may
block for a long time, these guarantees do *not* apply. The
user may want to interrupt a hanging process using a signal,
so blocking until all of the requested bytes are returned
would be unfriendly.
For this reason, the user of getrandom(2) MUST always check
the return value, in case it returns some error, or if fewer
bytes than requested was returned. In the case of
!GRND_RANDOM and small request, the latter should never
happen, but the careful userspace code (and all crypto code
should be careful) should check for this anyway!
Finally, unless you are doing long-term key generation (and
perhaps not even then), you probably shouldn't be using
GRND_RANDOM. The cryptographic algorithms used for
/dev/urandom are quite conservative, and so should be
sufficient for all purposes. The disadvantage of GRND_RANDOM
is that it can block, and the increased complexity required to
deal with partially fulfilled getrandom(2) requests.

were missing RX reordering altogether. The 10.1 firmware doesn't support
Ad-Hoc mode and Michal fixed ath10k so that it doesn't advertise Ad-Hoc
support with that firmware. Also he implemented a workaround for a KVM
issue."
For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo and Johan say:
"To quote Gustavo from his previous request:
'Some last minute fixes for -next. We have a fix for a use after free in
RFCOMM, another fix to an issue with ADV_DIRECT_IND and one for ADV_IND with
auto-connection handling. Last, we added support for reading the codec and
MWS setting for controllers that support these features.'
Additionally there are fixes to LE scanning, an update to conform to the 4.1
core specification as well as fixes for tracking the page scan state. All
of these fixes are important for 3.17."
And,
"We've got:
- 6lowpan fixes/cleanups
- A couple crash fixes, one for the Marvell HCI driver and another in LE SMP.
- Fix for an incorrect connected state check
- Fix for the bondable requirement during pairing (an issue which had
crept in because of using "pairable" when in fact the actual meaning
was "bondable" (these have different meanings in Bluetooth)"
Along with those are some late-breaking hardware support patches in
brcmfmac and b43 as well as a stray ath9k patch.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this update:
- perf updates from Will Deacon:
The main changes are callchain stability fixes from Jean Pihet and
event mapping and PMU name rework from Mark Rutland
The latter is preparatory work for enabling some code re-use with
arm64 in the future.
- updates for nommu from Uwe Kleine-König:
Two different fixes for the same problem making some ARM nommu
configurations not boot since 3.6-rc1. The problem is that
user_addr_max returned the biggest available RAM address which
makes some copy_from_user variants fail to read from XIP memory.
- deprecate legacy OMAP DMA API, in preparation for it's removal.
The popular drivers have been converted over, leaving a very small
number of rarely used drivers, which hopefully can be converted
during the next cycle with a bit more visibility (and hopefully
people popping out of the woodwork to help test)
- more tweaks for BE systems, particularly with the kernel image
format. In connection with this, I've cleaned up the way we
generate the linker script for the decompressor.
- removal of hard-coded assumptions of the kernel stack size, making
everywhere depend on the value of THREAD_SIZE_ORDER.
- MCPM updates from Nicolas Pitre.
- Make it easier for proper CPU part number checks (which should
always include the vendor field).
- Assembly code optimisation - use the "bx" instruction when
returning from a function on ARMv6+ rather than "mov pc, reg".
- Save the last kernel misaligned fault location and report it via
the procfs alignment file.
- Clean up the way we create the initial stack frame, which is a
repeated pattern in several different locations.
- Support for 8-byte get_user(), needed for some DRM implementations.
- mcs locking from Will Deacon.
- Save and restore a few more Cortex-A9 registers (for errata
workarounds)
- Fix various aspects of the SWP emulation, and the ELF hwcap for the
SWP instruction.
- Update LPAE logic for pte_write and pmd_write to make it more
correct.
- Support for Broadcom Brahma15 CPU cores.
- ARM assembly crypto updates from Ard Biesheuvel"
