2016-04-24macsec: fix rx_sa refcounting with decrypt callbackSabrina Dubroca
The decrypt callback macsec_decrypt_done needs a reference on the rx_sa and releases it before returning, but macsec_handle_frame already put that reference after macsec_decrypt returned NULL. Set rx_sa to NULL when the decrypt callback runs so that macsec_handle_frame knows it must not release the reference.

2016-04-24Merge branch 'bridge-mdb-fixes'David S. Miller
Jiri Pirko says: ==================== bridge: mdb: Couple of fixes Elad says: This patchset fixes two problems reported by Nikolay Aleksandrov. The first problem is that the MDB offload flag might be accesed without helding the multicast_lock. The second problem is that the switchdev mdb offload is deferred and the offload bit was marked regardless if the operation succeeded or not. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-04-24bridge: mdb: Marking port-group as offloadedElad Raz
There is a race-condition when updating the mdb offload flag without using the mulicast_lock. This reverts commit 9e8430f8d60d98 ("bridge: mdb: Passing the port-group pointer to br_mdb module"). This patch marks offloaded MDB entry as "offload" by changing the port- group flags and marks it as MDB_PG_FLAGS_OFFLOAD. When switchdev PORT_MDB succeeded and adds a multicast group, a completion callback is been invoked "br_mdb_complete". The completion function locks the multicast_lock and finds the right net_bridge_port_group and marks it as offloaded.

2016-04-24switchdev: Adding complete operation to deferred switchdev opsElad Raz
When using switchdev deferred operation (SWITCHDEV_F_DEFER), the operation is executed in different context and the application doesn't have any way to get the operation real status. Adding a completion callback fixes that. This patch adds fields to switchdev_attr and switchdev_obj "complete_priv" field which is used by the "complete" callback. Application can set a complete function which will be called once the operation executed.

2016-04-24batman-adv: Reduce refcnt of removed router when updating routeSven Eckelmann
_batadv_update_route rcu_derefences orig_ifinfo->router outside of a spinlock protected region to print some information messages to the debug log. But this pointer is not checked again when the new pointer is assigned in the spinlock protected region. Thus is can happen that the value of orig_ifinfo->router changed in the meantime and thus the reference counter of the wrong router gets reduced after the spinlock protected region. Just rcu_dereferencing the value of orig_ifinfo->router inside the spinlock protected region (which also set the new pointer) is enough to get the correct old router object.

2016-04-24batman-adv: Deactivate TO_BE_ACTIVATED hardif on shutdownSven Eckelmann
The shutdown of an batman-adv interface can happen with one of its slave interfaces still being in the BATADV_IF_TO_BE_ACTIVATED state. A possible reason for it is that the routing algorithm BATMAN_V was selected and batadv_schedule_bat_ogm was not yet called for this interface. This slave interface still has to be set to BATADV_IF_INACTIVE or the batman-adv interface will never reduce its usage counter and thus never gets shutdown. This problem can be simulated via: $ modprobe dummy $ modprobe batman-adv routing_algo=BATMAN_V $ ip link add bat0 type batadv $ ip link set dummy0 master bat0 $ ip link set dummy0 up $ ip link del bat0 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bat0 to become free.

2016-04-23sched/deadline: Fix a bug in dl_overflow()Xunlei Pang
I got a minus(very big) dl_b->total_bw during my deadline tests. # grep dl /proc/sched_debug dl_rq[0]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : -222297900 Something unusual must have happened. After some digging, I finally noticed that when changing a deadline task to normal(cfs), and changing it back to deadline immediately, after it died, we will got the wrong dl_bw->total_bw. The root cause is in dl_overflow(), it has: if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw) return 0; 1) When a deadline task is changed to !deadline task, it will start dl timer in switched_from_dl(), and retain previous deadline parameter till the timer expires. 2) If we change it back to deadline with the same bandwidth parameter before the timer expires, as it keeps the old bandwidth although it is not a deadline task. dl_overflow() simply returns success without updating the right data, and got the wrong dl_bw->total_bw. The solution is simple, if @p is not deadline, don't return.

2016-04-23sched/fair: Optimize !CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON CPU load updatesFrederic Weisbecker
Some code in CPU load update only concern NO_HZ configs but it is built on all configurations. When NO_HZ isn't built, that code is harmless but just happens to take some useless ressources in CPU and memory: 1) one useless field in struct rq 2) jiffies record on every tick that is never used (cpu_load_update_periodic) 3) decay_load_missed is called two times on every tick to eventually return immediately with no action taken. And that function is dead code. For pure optimization purposes, lets conditionally build the NO_HZ related code.

2016-04-23sched/fair: Correctly handle nohz ticks CPU load accountingFrederic Weisbecker
Ticks can happen while the CPU is in dynticks-idle or dynticks-singletask mode. In fact "nohz" or "dynticks" only mean that we exit the periodic mode and we try to minimize the ticks as much as possible. The nohz subsystem uses a confusing terminology with the internal state "ts->tick_stopped" which is also available through its public interface with tick_nohz_tick_stopped(). This is a misnomer as the tick is instead reduced with the best effort rather than stopped. In the best case the tick can indeed be actually stopped but there is no guarantee about that. If a timer needs to fire one second later, a tick will fire while the CPU is in nohz mode and this is a very common scenario. Now this confusion happens to be a problem with CPU load updates: cpu_load_update_active() doesn't handle nohz ticks correctly because it assumes that ticks are completely stopped in nohz mode and that cpu_load_update_active() can't be called in dynticks mode. When that happens, the whole previous tickless load is ignored and the function just records the load for the current tick, ignoring potentially long idle periods behind. In order to solve this, we could account the current load for the previous nohz time but there is a risk that we account the load of a task that got freshly enqueued for the whole nohz period. So instead, lets record the dynticks load on nohz frame entry so we know what to record in case of nohz ticks, then use this record to account the tickless load on nohz ticks and nohz frame end.

The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as "update" is a very generic concept. Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come) that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's do the following rename instead: update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*() Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@lge.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul E .

2016-04-23sched/fair: Fix asym packing to select correct CPUSrikar Dronamraju
When asymmetric packing is set in the sched_domain and target CPU is busy, update_sd_pick_busiest() may not select the busiest runqueue. When target CPU is busy, find_busiest_group() will ignore checks for asym packing and may continue to load balance using the currently selected not-the-busiest runqueue as source runqueue. Selecting the busiest runqueue as source when the target CPU is busy, should result in achieving much better load balance. Also when target CPU is not busy and asymmetric packing is set in sd, select higher CPU as source CPU for load balancing. While doing this change, move the check to see if target CPU is busy into check_asym_packing(). The extent of performance benefit from this change decreases with the increasing load. However there is benefit in undercommit as well as overcommit conditions. 1. Record per second ebizzy (32 threads) on a 64 CPU power 7 box.

2016-04-23perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf eventWang Nan
This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer, kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer. (X) head . | . V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written. This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast path. 'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem. Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+------+ | |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A| +---+------+----------+-------+------+ and after overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.| +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record. From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch records one by one. The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading. Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation: tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now. To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is suggested because its overhead is lower than ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE). By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the ring-buffer. For example: /* A union of all possible events */ union perf_event event; p = head = perf_mmap__read_head(); while (true) { /* copy header of next event */ fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header)); /* read 'head' pointer */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* check overwritten: is the header good? */ if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head)) break; /* copy the whole event */ fetch(&event, p, event.header.size); /* read 'head' pointer again */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* is the whole event good? */ if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head)) break; p += event.header.size; } However, the overhead is high because: a) In-place decoding is not safe. Copying-verifying-decoding is required. b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization. (From Alexei Starovoitov: Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path. Performance testing: Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture system calls. In ns.
