2011-05-10tipc: Abort excessive send requests as early as possibleAllan Stephens
Adds checks to TIPC's socket send routines to promptly detect and abort attempts to send more than 66,000 bytes in a single TIPC message or more than 2**31-1 bytes in a single TIPC byte stream request. In addition, this ensures that the number of iovecs in a send request does not exceed the limits of a standard integer variable.

2011-05-10bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driverRafał Miłecki
Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean. In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct initialization. Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e). Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to 80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO used for accessing cores on the bus.

2011-05-10nilfs2: add ioctl which limits range of segment to be allocatedRyusuke Konishi
This adds a new ioctl command which limits range of segment to be allocated. This is intended to gather data whithin a range of the partition before shrinking the filesystem, or to control new log location for some purpose. If a range is specified by the ioctl, segment allocator of nilfs tries to allocate new segments from the range unless no free segments are available there.

2011-05-10nilfs2: super root size should change depending on inode sizeRyusuke Konishi
The size of super root structure depends on inode size, so NILFS_SR_BYTES macro should be a function of the inode size. This fixes the issue. Even though a different size value will be written for a possible future filesystem with extended inode, but fortunately this does not break disk format compatibility.

2011-05-10IPVS: init and cleanup restructuringHans Schillstrom
DESCRIPTION This patch tries to restore the initial init and cleanup sequences that was before namspace patch. Netns also requires action when net devices unregister which has never been implemented. I.e this patch also covers when a device moves into a network namespace, and has to be released. IMPLEMENTATION The number of calls to register_pernet_device have been reduced to one for the ip_vs.ko Schedulers still have their own calls. This patch adds a function __ip_vs_service_cleanup() and an enable flag for the netfilter hooks. The nf hooks will be enabled when the first service is loaded and never disabled again, except when a namespace exit starts.

2011-05-09RDMA/iwcm: Get rid of enum iw_cm_event_statusRoland Dreier
The IW_CM_EVENT_STATUS_xxx values were used in only a couple of places; cma.c uses -Exxx values instead, and so do the amso1100, cxgb3 and cxgb4 drivers -- only nes was using the enum values (with the mild consequence that all nes connection failures were treated as generic errors rather than reported as timeouts or rejections). We can fix this confusion by getting rid of enum iw_cm_event_status and using a plain int for struct iw_cm_event.status, and converting nes to use -Exxx as the other iWARP drivers do. This also gets rid of the warning drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c: In function 'cma_iw_handler': drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:1333:3: warning: case value '4294967185' not in enumerated type 'enum iw_cm_event_status' drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:1336:3: warning: case value '4294967186' not in enumerated type 'enum iw_cm_event_status' drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:1332:3: warning: case value '4294967192' not in enumerated type 'enum iw_cm_event_status' Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> Reviewed-by: Steve Wise <swise@opengridcomputing.com> Reviewed-by: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Faisal Latif <faisal.latif@intel.com>
2011-05-09RDMA/cma: Add an ID_REUSEADDR optionHefty, Sean
Lustre requires that clients bind to a privileged port number before connecting to a remote server. On larger clusters (typically more than about 1000 nodes), the number of privileged ports is exhausted, resulting in lustre being unusable. To handle this, we add support for reusable addresses to the rdma_cm. This mimics the behavior of the socket option SO_REUSEADDR. A user may set an rdma_cm_id to reuse an address before calling rdma_bind_addr() (explicitly or implicitly). If set, other rdma_cm_id's may be bound to the same address, provided that they all have reuse enabled, and there are no active listens. If rdma_listen() is called on an rdma_cm_id that has reuse enabled, it will only succeed if there are no other id's bound to that same address. The reuse option is exported to user space. The behavior of the kernel reuse implementation was verified against that given by sockets.

However, some architectures have up-growing stack and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too.

This patch enables ethtool to set the loopback mode on a given interface.

2011-05-06block: hold queue if flush is running for non-queueable flush driveshaohua.li@intel.com
In some drives, flush requests are non-queueable. When flush request is running, normal read/write requests can't run. If block layer dispatches such request, driver can't handle it and requeue it. Tejun suggested we can hold the queue when flush is running. This can avoid unnecessary requeue. Also this can improve performance. For example, we have request flush1, write1, flush 2. flush1 is dispatched, then queue is hold, write1 isn't inserted to queue. After flush1 is finished, flush2 will be dispatched. Since disk cache is already clean, flush2 will be finished very soon, so looks like flush2 is folded to flush1. In my test, the queue holding completely solves a regression introduced by commit 53d63e6b0dfb95882ec0219ba6bbd50cde423794: block: make the flush insertion use the tail of the dispatch list It's not a preempt type request, in fact we have to insert it behind requests that do specify INSERT_FRONT. which causes about 20% regression running a sysbench fileio workload.

2011-05-05rcu: introduce kfree_rcu()Lai Jiangshan
Many rcu callbacks functions just call kfree() on the base structure. These functions are trivial, but their size adds up, and furthermore when they are used in a kernel module, that module must invoke the high-latency rcu_barrier() function at module-unload time. The kfree_rcu() function introduced by this commit addresses this issue. Rather than encoding a function address in the embedded rcu_head structure, kfree_rcu() instead encodes the offset of the rcu_head structure within the base structure. Because the functions are not allowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets up to 4095 bytes can be accommodated. If the offset is larger than 4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu(). If this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu() or rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the first 4096 bytes. Note that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example, to allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu(). The new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows: call_rcu(&p->rcu, simple_kfree_callback); where "simple_kfree_callback()" might be defined as follows: void simple_kfree_callback(struct rcu_head *p) { struct foo *q = container_of(p, struct foo, rcu); kfree(q); } with the following: kfree_rcu(&p->rcu, rcu); Note that the "rcu" is the name of a field in the structure being freed. The reason for using this rather than passing in a pointer to the base structure is that the above approach allows better type checking.

2011-05-05rcu: add DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD check for alignmentPaul E. McKenney
Verify that rcu_head structures are aligned to a four-byte boundary. This check is enabled by CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
