2010-07-19net-next: vmxnet3 fixes [4/5] Do not reset when the device is not openedShreyas Bhatewara
Hold rtnl_lock to get the right link state. While asynchronously resetting the device, hold rtnl_lock to get the right value from netif_running. If a reset is scheduled, and the device goes thru close and open, it may happen that reset and open may run in parallel. Holding rtnl_lock will avoid this.

2010-07-19Btrfs: fix CLONE ioctl destination file size expansion to block boundarySage Weil
The CLONE and CLONE_RANGE ioctls round up the range of extents being cloned to the block size when the range to clone extends to the end of file (this is always the case with CLONE). It was then using that offset when extending the destination file's i_size. Fix this by not setting i_size beyond the originally requested ending offset.

2010-07-19Btrfs: fix split_leaf double split corner caseChris Mason
split_leaf was not properly balancing leaves when it was forced to split a leaf twice. This commit adds an extra push left and right before forcing the double split in hopes of getting the slot where we want to insert at either the start or end of the leaf. If the extra pushes do work, then we are able to avoid splitting twice and we keep the tree properly balanced. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

It can happen that there are no packets in queue while calling tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue(). tcp_write_queue_head() then returns NULL and that gets deref'ed to get sacked into a local var. There is no work to do if no packets are outstanding so we just exit early. This oops was introduced by 08ebd1721ab8fd (tcp: remove tp->lost_out guard to make joining diff nicer).

2010-07-19PM / Runtime: Add runtime PM statistics (v3)Arjan van de Ven
In order for PowerTOP to be able to report how well the new runtime PM is working for the various drivers, the kernel needs to export some basic statistics in sysfs. This patch adds two sysfs files in the runtime PM domain that expose the total time a device has been active, and the time a device has been suspended. With this PowerTOP can compute the activity percentage Active %age = 100 * (delta active) / (delta active + delta suspended) and present the information to the user. I've written the PowerTOP code (slated for version 1.12) already, and the output looks like this: Runtime Device Power Management statistics Active Device name 10.0% 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

2010-07-19PM: Make it possible to avoid races between wakeup and system sleepRafael J. Wysocki
One of the arguments during the suspend blockers discussion was that the mainline kernel didn't contain any mechanisms making it possible to avoid races between wakeup and system suspend. Generally, there are two problems in that area. First, if a wakeup event occurs exactly when /sys/power/state is being written to, it may be delivered to user space right before the freezer kicks in, so the user space consumer of the event may not be able to process it before the system is suspended. Second, if a wakeup event occurs after user space has been frozen, it is not generally guaranteed that the ongoing transition of the system into a sleep state will be aborted. To address these issues introduce a new global sysfs attribute, /sys/power/wakeup_count, associated with a running counter of wakeup events and three helper functions, pm_stay_awake(), pm_relax(), and pm_wakeup_event(), that may be used by kernel subsystems to control the behavior of this attribute and to request the PM core to abort system transitions into a sleep state already in progress. The /sys/power/wakeup_count file may be read from or written to by user space. Reads will always succeed (unless interrupted by a signal) and return the current value of the wakeup events counter. Writes, however, will only succeed if the written number is equal to the current value of the wakeup events counter. If a write is successful, it will cause the kernel to save the current value of the wakeup events counter and to abort the subsequent system transition into a sleep state if any wakeup events are reported after the write has returned. [The assumption is that before writing to /sys/power/state user space will first read from /sys/power/wakeup_count. Next, user space consumers of wakeup events will have a chance to acknowledge or veto the upcoming system transition to a sleep state. Finally, if the transition is allowed to proceed, /sys/power/wakeup_count will be written to and if that succeeds, /sys/power/state will be written to as well. Still, if any wakeup events are reported to the PM core by kernel subsystems after that point, the transition will be aborted.] Additionally, put a wakeup events counter into struct dev_pm_info and make these per-device wakeup event counters available via sysfs, so that it's possible to check the activity of various wakeup event sources within the kernel. To illustrate how subsystems can use pm_wakeup_event(), make the low-level PCI runtime PM wakeup-handling code use it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-07-18vlan_dev: VLAN 0 should be treated as "no vlan tag" (802.1p packet)Pedro Garcia
- Without the 8021q module loaded in the kernel, all 802.1p packets (VLAN 0 but QoS tagging) are silently discarded (as expected, as the protocol is not loaded). - Without this patch in 8021q module, these packets are forwarded to the module, but they are discarded also if VLAN 0 is not configured, which should not be the default behaviour, as VLAN 0 is not really a VLANed packet but a 802.1p packet. Defining VLAN 0 makes it almost impossible to communicate with mixed 802.1p and non 802.1p devices on the same network due to arp table issues. - Changed logic to skip vlan specific code in vlan_skb_recv if VLAN is 0 and we have not defined a VLAN with ID 0, but we accept the packet with the encapsulated proto and pass it later to netif_rx. - In the vlan device event handler, added some logic to add VLAN 0 to HW filter in devices that support it (this prevented any traffic in VLAN 0 to reach the stack in e1000e with HW filter under 2.6.35, and probably also with other HW filtered cards, so we fix it here). - In the vlan unregister logic, prevent the elimination of VLAN 0 in devices with HW filter. - The default behaviour is to ignore the VLAN 0 tagging and accept the packet as if it was not tagged, but we can still define a VLAN 0 if desired (so it is backwards compatible).
