Most nouveau event handlers have storage in 'static' containers (structures with lifetimes nearly equivalent to the drm_device), but are dangerously reused via nouveau_event_get/_put.

2013-11-07ext4: remove unreachable code after ext4_can_extents_be_merged()Eric Sandeen
Commit ec22ba8e ("ext4: disable merging of uninitialized extents") ensured that if either extent under consideration is uninit, we decline to merge, and ext4_can_extents_be_merged() returns false. So there is no need for the caller to then test whether the extent under consideration is unitialized; if it were, we wouldn't have gotten that far. The comments were also inaccurate; ext4_can_extents_be_merged() no longer XORs the states, it fails if *either* is uninit.

2013-11-07net: calxedaxgmac: Fix panic caused by MTU change of active interfaceAndreas Herrmann
Changing MTU size of an xgmac network interface while it is active can cause a panic like skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:c03bc62c len:1090 put:1090 head:edfb6900 data:edfb6942 tail:0xedfb6d84 end:0xedfb6bc0 dev:eth0 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:126!

And thus there still might be buffers in use which have a buffer size based on the old MTU. To fix this I moved the change of dev->mtu after the call to xgmac_stop. Another modification is required (in xgmac_stop) to ensure that xgmac_xmit is really not called anymore (xgmac_tx_complete might wake up the queue again). I've tested the fix by switching MTU size every second between 600 and 1500 while network traffic was going on. The test box survived a test of several hours (until I've stopped it) whereas w/o this fix above panic occurs after several minutes (at most).

For each RX/TX ring and its CQ, allocation is done on a NUMA node that corresponds to the core that the data structure should operate on. The assumption is that the core number is reflected by the ring index. The affected allocations are the ring/CQ data structures, the TX/RX info and the shared HW/SW buffer. For TX rings, each core has rings of all UPs.

This is especially important for SRIOV comm-channel virtual commands (such as QUERY_FUNC_CAP), where if new fields are added to support new features, the driver can depend on older kernels passing zeroes in these fields.

2013-11-07Merge branch 'macvlan_hwaccel'David S. Miller
John Fastabend says: ==================== l2 hardware accelerated macvlans This patch adds support to offload macvlan net_devices to the hardware. With these patches packets are pushed to the macvlan net_device directly and do not pass through the lower dev. The patches here have made it through multiple iterations each with a slightly different focus. First I tried to push these as a new link type called "VMDQ". The patches shown here, http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/237617 Following this implementation I renamed the link type "VSI" and addressed various comments. Finally Neil Horman picked up the patches and integrated the offload into the macvlan code. Here, http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/285658 The attached series is clean-up of his patches, with a few fixes. If folks find this series acceptable there are a few items we can work on next. First broadcast and multicast will use the hardware even for local traffic with this series. It would be best (I think) to use the software path for macvlan to macvlan traffic and save the PCIe bus. This depends on how much you value CPU time vs PCIE bandwidth. This will need another patch series to flush out. Also this series only allows for layer 2 mac forwarding where some hardware supports more interesting forwarding capabilities. Integrating with OVS may be useful here. As always any comments/feedback welcome. My basic I/O test is here but I've also done some link testing, SRIOV/DCB with macvlans and others, Changelog: v2: two fixes to ixgbe when all features DCB, FCoE, SR-IOV are enabled with macvlans. A VMDQ_P() reference should have been accel->pool and do not set the offset of the ring index from dfwd add call. The offset is used by SR-IOV so clearing it can cause SR-IOV quue index's to go sideways. With these fixes testing macvlan's with SRIOV enabled was successful. v3: addressed Neil's comments in ixgbe fixed error path on dfwd_add_station() in ixgbe fixed ixgbe to allow SRIOV and accelerated macvlans to coexist. v4: Dave caught some strange indentation, fixed it here ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

MIPS: cacheops.h: Increase indentation by one tab. MIPS: Remove bogus BUG_ON() MIPS: PowerTV: Remove support code. MIPS: ftrace: Add support for syscall tracepoints. MIPS: ptrace: Switch syscall reporting to tracehook_report_syscall_entry(). MIPS: Move audit_arch() helper function to __syscall_get_arch(). MIPS: Enable HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. MIPS: Switch ELF core dumper to use regsets. MIPS: Implement task_user_regset_view. MIPS: ptrace: Use tracehook helpers. MIPS: O32 / 32-bit: Always copy 4 stack arguments. ...
2013-11-07Merge branch 'tipc_fragmentation'David S. Miller
Erik Hugne says: ==================== tipc: message reassembly using fragment chain We introduce a new reassembly algorithm that improves performance and eliminates the risk of causing out-of-memory situations. v3: -Use skb_try_coalesce, and revert to fraglist if this does not succeed. -Make sure reassembly list head is uncloned. v2: -Rebased on Ying's indentation fix. -Node unlock call in msg_fragmenter case moved from patch #2 to #1. ('continue' with this lock held would cause spinlock recursion if only patch #1 is used) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
