Trond Myklebust 6650239a4b NFS: Don't use vm_map_ram() in readdir
vm_map_ram() is not available on NOMMU platforms, and causes trouble
on incoherrent architectures such as ARM when we access the page data
through both the direct and the virtual mapping.

The alternative is to use the direct mapping to access page data
for the case when we are not crossing a page boundary, but to copy
the data into a linear scratch buffer when we are accessing data
that spans page boundaries.

Nick Piggin b3e19d924b fs: scale mntget/mntput
The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability.
We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup,
which often go to the same mount point.

The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made
scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that
was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs
that may have taken a reference count.

We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping
distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less
frequently.

- check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection
  for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts).

- keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this
  is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of
  a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a
  particular CPU which requires more locking).

- keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum
  the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then,
  keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references,
  and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0.

This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root
and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is
a short reference.

This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted
subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running
in them.

This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a
per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock
and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger
and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash.

Nick Piggin 4b936885ab fs: improve scalability of pseudo filesystems
Regardless of how much we possibly try to scale dcache, there is likely
always going to be some fundamental contention when adding or removing children
under the same parent. Pseudo filesystems do not seem need to have connected
dentries because by definition they are disconnected.

Nick Piggin fb045adb99 fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path
Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.

Patched with:

git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

Nick Piggin fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Nick Piggin fe15ce446b fs: change d_delete semantics
Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.

This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.

Pablo Neira Ayuso cba85b532e netfilter: fix export secctx error handling
In 1ae4de0cdf, the secctx was exported
via the /proc/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack and ctnetlink interfaces
instead of the secmark.

That patch introduced the use of security_secid_to_secctx() which may
return a non-zero value on error.

In one of my setups, I have NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK enabled but no
security modules. Thus, security_secid_to_secctx() returns a negative
value that results in the breakage of the /proc and `conntrack -L'
outputs. To fix this, we skip the inclusion of secctx if the
aforementioned function fails.

This patch also fixes the dynamic netlink message size calculation
if security_secid_to_secctx() returns an error, since its logic is
also wrong.

This problem exists in Linux kernel >= 2.6.37.

Eric Dumazet 6623e3b24a ipv4: IP defragmentation must be ECN aware
RFC3168 (The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification to IP)
states :

5.3.  Fragmentation

   ECN-capable packets MAY have the DF (Don't Fragment) bit set.
   Reassembly of a fragmented packet MUST NOT lose indications of
   congestion.  In other words, if any fragment of an IP packet to be
   reassembled has the CE codepoint set, then one of two actions MUST be
   taken:

      * Set the CE codepoint on the reassembled packet.  However, this
        MUST NOT occur if any of the other fragments contributing to
        this reassembly carries the Not-ECT codepoint.

      * The packet is dropped, instead of being reassembled, for any
        other reason.

This patch implements this requirement for IPv4, choosing the first
action :

If one fragment had NO-ECT codepoint
        reassembled frame has NO-ECT
ElIf one fragment had CE codepoint
        reassembled frame has CE

Eric Dumazet 2c6607c611 net: add POLLPRI to sock_def_readable()
Leonardo Chiquitto found poll() could block forever on tcp sockets and
Urgent data was received, if the event flag only contains POLLPRI.

He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e023 (poll: avoid extra
wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem.

Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for
their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal
POLLPRI.

Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags
might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a
seldom used feature this seems a good compromise.

Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test
program as well.

unix_release() can asynchornously set socket->sk to NULL, and
it does so without holding the unix_state_lock() on "other"

However, the reverse mapping, sk->sk_socket, is only transitioned

Therefore make the security hooks follow the reverse mapping instead

Eric Dumazet 44b8288308 net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem
commit 57dbb2d83d (sched: add head drop fifo queue)
introduced pfifo_head_drop, and broke the invariant that
sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are COUNTER (increasing
counters only)

This can break estimators because est_timer() handles unsigned deltas
only. A decreasing counter can then give a huge unsigned delta.

My mid term suggestion would be to change things so that
sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are incremented in dequeue()
only, not at enqueue() time. We also could add drop_bytes/drop_packets
and provide estimations of drop rates.

It would be more sensible anyway for very low speeds, and big bursts.
Right now, if we drop packets, they still are accounted in byte/packets
abolute counters and rate estimators.

Before this mid term change, this patch makes pfifo_head_drop behavior
similar to other qdiscs in case of drops :
Dont decrement sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets

Johannes Berg b5c34f662a mac80211: fix some key comments and code
The key documentation is slightly out of date, fix
that. Also, the list entry in the key struct is no
longer used that way, so list_del_init() isn't
necessary any more there.

Finally, ieee80211_key_link() is no longer invoked
under RCU read lock, but rather with an appropriate
station lock held.

Christian Lamparter 24a8fdad35 mac80211: serialize rx path workers
This patch addresses the issue of serialization between
the main rx path and various reorder release timers.

<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg57214.html>

It converts the previously local "frames" queue into
a global rx queue [rx_skb_queue]. This way, everyone
(be it the main rx-path or some reorder release timeout)
can add frames to it.

Only one active rx handler worker [ieee80211_rx_handlers]
is needed. All other threads which have lost the race of
"runnning_rx_handler" can now simply "return", knowing that
the thread who had the "edge" will also take care of their
workload.

Joel A Fernandes f76b57b47e mac80211: Fix mesh portal communication with other mesh nodes.
Fixed a bug where if a mesh interface has a different MAC address from its bridge
interface, then it would not be able to send data traffic to any other mesh node.
This also adds support for communication between mesh nodes and external bridged
nodes by using a 6 address format if the source is a node within the mesh and the
destination is an external node proxied by a mesh portal.

Christian Lamparter 4cfda47b69 mac80211: ignore PSM bit of reordered frames
This patch tackles one of the problems of my
reorder release timer patch from August.

<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg57214.html>
=>
What if the reorder release triggers and ap_sta_ps_end
(called by ieee80211_rx_h_sta_process) accidentally clears
the WLAN_STA_PS_STA flag, because 100ms ago - when the STA
was still active - frames were put into the reorder buffer.

Joel Sing 9fc3bbb4a7 ipv4/route.c: respect prefsrc for local routes
The preferred source address is currently ignored for local routes,
which results in all local connections having a src address that is the
same as the local dst address. Fix this by respecting the preferred source
address when it is provided for local routes.

This bug can be demonstrated as follows:

 # ifconfig dummy0 192.168.0.1
 # ip route show table local | grep local.*dummy0
 local 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0  proto kernel  scope host  src 192.168.0.1
 # ip route change table local local 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0 \
     proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1
 # ip route show table local | grep local.*dummy0
 local 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0  proto kernel  scope host  src 127.0.0.1

We now establish a local connection and verify the source IP
address selection:

 # nc -l 192.168.0.1 3128 &
 # nc 192.168.0.1 3128 &
 # netstat -ant | grep 192.168.0.1:3128.*EST

    mac80211: simplify key locking

removed the synchronization against RCU and thus
opened a race window where we can use a key for
TX while it is already freed. Put a synchronisation
into the right place to close that window.

    Under memory pressure, the mac80211 mesh code

Avoid the reference whenever the frame copy is unsuccessful
regardless of the debug message being suppressed or printed.

Hi,

Does the following patch fix the problem?

SUNRPC: Fix a BUG in __rpc_create_common

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Mi Jinlong reports:

When testing NFSv4 at RHEL6 with kernel 2.6.32, I got a kernel panic
at NFS client's __rpc_create_common function.

The panic place is:
  rpc_mkpipe
      __rpc_lookup_create()          <=== find pipefile *idmap*
      __rpc_mkpipe()                 <=== pipefile is *idmap*
        __rpc_create_common()
         ******  BUG_ON(!d_unhashed(dentry)); ****** *panic*

The test is wrong: we can find ourselves with a hashed negative dentry here
if the idmapper tried to look up the file before we got round to creating
it.

Just replace the BUG_ON() with a d_drop(dentry).
