2017-06-19drm/i915: Differentiate between sw write location into ring and last hw readChris Wilson
We need to keep track of the last location we ask the hw to read up to (RING_TAIL) separately from our last write location into the ring, so that in the event of a GPU reset we do not tell the HW to proceed into a partially written request (which can happen if that request is waiting for an external signal before being executed). v2: Refactor intel_ring_reset() (Mika) Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100144 Testcase: igt/gem_exec_fence/await-hang Fixes: 821ed7df6e2a ("drm/i915: Update reset path to fix incomplete requests") Fixes: d55ac5bf97c6 ("drm/i915: Defer transfer onto execution timeline to actual hw submission") Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Cc: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20170425130049.26147-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk Reviewed-by: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@intel.com> (cherry picked from commit e6ba9992de6c63fe86c028b4876338e1cb7dac34) Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20170615131129.3061-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk

2017-06-18liquidio: replace info-pointer mode with buffer-pointer-only modePrasad Kanneganti
Each Octeon output ring can DMA packets to host memory in two modes: info- pointer mode and buffer-pointer-only mode. In info-pointer mode, Octeon takes two buffer pointers for each packet and places the length of the packet along with specified number of bytes from the beginning of the packet into one buffer and the rest of the packet in a separate buffer. In buffer-pointer-only mode, Octeon takes single buffer pointer and places the length of the packet at the beginning of the buffer followed by the packet data. This patch switches all Octeon output rings from info-pointer mode to buffer-pointer-only mode. This results in fewer DMA setups and cache line snoops.

2017-06-18NFC: nfcmrvl: fix firmware-management initialisationJohan Hovold
The nci-device was never deregistered in the event that fw-initialisation failed. Fix this by moving the firmware initialisation before device registration since the firmware work queue should be available before registering. Note that this depends on a recent fix that moved device-name initialisation back to to nci_allocate_device() as the firmware-workqueue name is now derived from the nfc-device name.

2017-06-18NFC: nfcmrvl: use nfc-device for firmware downloadJohan Hovold

This specifically fixes a NULL-pointer dereference in nfcmrvl_fw_dnld_init() during registration when the underlying tty is one end of a Unix98 pty. Note that the driver still uses the phy device for any debugging, which is fine for now.

2017-06-18NFC: nfcmrvl: do not use device-managed resourcesJohan Hovold
This specifically fixes resource leaks in the registration error paths. Device-managed resources is a bad fit for this driver as devices can be registered from the n_nci line discipline. Firstly, a tty may not even have a corresponding device (should it be part of a Unix98 pty) something which would lead to a NULL-pointer dereference when registering resources. Secondly, if the tty has a class device, its lifetime exceeds that of the line discipline, which means that resources would leak every time the line discipline is closed (or if registration fails). Currently, the devres interface was only being used to request a reset gpio despite the fact that it was already explicitly freed in nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev() (along with the private data), something which also prevented the resource leak at close. Note that the driver treats gpio number 0 as invalid despite it being perfectly valid. This will be addressed in a follow-up patch.

2017-06-18NFC: fix broken device allocationJohan Hovold
Commit 7eda8b8e9677 ("NFC: Use IDR library to assing NFC devices IDs") moved device-id allocation and struct-device initialisation from nfc_allocate_device() to nfc_register_device(). This broke just about every nfc-device-registration error path, which continue to call nfc_free_device() that tries to put the device reference of the now uninitialised (but zeroed) struct device: kobject: '(null)' (ce316420): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called. The late struct-device initialisation also meant that various work queues whose names are derived from the nfc device name were also misnamed: 421 root 0 SW< [(null)_nci_cmd_] 422 root 0 SW< [(null)_nci_rx_w] 423 root 0 SW< [(null)_nci_tx_w] Move the id-allocation and struct-device initialisation back to nfc_allocate_device() and fix up the single call site which did not use nfc_free_device() in its error path.

2017-06-17Merge branch 'net-remove-dst-garbage-collector-logic'David S. Miller
Wei Wang says: ==================== remove dst garbage collector logic The current mechanism of dst release is a bit complicated. It is because the users of dst get divided into 2 situations: 1. Most users take the reference count when using a dst and release the reference count when done. 2. Exceptional users like IPv4/IPv6/decnet/xfrm routing code do not take reference count when referencing to a dst due to some histotic reasons. Due to those exceptional use cases in 2, reference count being 0 is not an adequate evidence to indicate that no user is using this dst. So users in 1 can't free the dst simply based on reference count being 0 because users in 2 might still hold reference to it. Instead, a dst garbage list is needed to hold the dst entries that already get removed by the users in 2 but are still held by users in 1. And a periodic garbage collector task is run to check all the dst entries in the list to see if the users in 1 have released the reference to those dst entries. If so, the dst is now ready to be freed. This logic introduces unnecessary complications in the dst code which makes it hard to understand and to debug. In order to get rid of the whole dst garbage collector (gc) and make the dst code more unified and simplified, we can make the users in 2 also take reference count on the dst and release it properly when done. This way, dst can be safely freed once the refcount drops to 0 and no gc thread is needed anymore. This patch series' target is to completely get rid of dst gc logic and free dst based on reference count only. Patch 1-3 are preparation patches to do some cleanup/improvement on the existing code to make later work easier. Patch 4-21 are real implementations. In these patches, a temporary flag DST_NOGC is used to help transition those exceptional users one by one. Once every component is transitioned, this temporary flag is removed. By the end of this patch series, all dst are refcounted when being used and released when done. And dst will be freed when its refcount drops to 0. No dst gc task is running anymore. Note: This patch series depends on the decnet fix that was sent right before: "decnet: always not take dst->__refcnt when inserting dst into hash table" v2: add curly braces in udp_v4/6_early_demux() in patch 02 add EXPORT_SYMBOL() for dst_dev_put() in patch 05 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

As some dst flags are removed, reorder the dst flags to fill in the blanks. Note: these flags are not exposed into user space. So it is safe to reorder. Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-06-17net: remove DST_NOCACHE flagWei Wang
DST_NOCACHE flag check has been removed from dst_release() and dst_hold_safe() in a previous patch because all the dst are now ref counted properly and can be released based on refcnt only. Looking at the rest of the DST_NOCACHE use, all of them can now be removed or replaced with other checks. So this patch gets rid of all the DST_NOCACHE usage and remove this flag completely.

2017-06-17net: remove DST_NOGC flagWei Wang
Now that all the components have been changed to release dst based on refcnt only and not depend on dst gc anymore, we can remove the temporary flag DST_NOGC. Note that we also need to remove the DST_NOCACHE check in dst_release() and dst_hold_safe() because now all the dst are released based on refcnt and behaves as DST_NOCACHE.

2017-06-17decnet: take dst->__refcnt when struct dn_route is createdWei Wang
struct dn_route is inserted into dn_rt_hash_table but no dst->__refcnt is taken. This patch makes sure the dn_rt_hash_table's reference to the dst is ref counted. As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only. And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() or its related function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or dst_release_immediate(). And dst_dev_put() is called when removing dst from the hash table to release the reference on dst->dev before we lose pointer to it. Also, correct the logic in dn_dst_check_expire() and dn_dst_gc() to check dst->__refcnt to be > 1 to indicate it is referenced by other users.

2017-06-17xfrm: take refcnt of dst when creating struct xfrm_dst bundleWei Wang
During the creation of xfrm_dst bundle, always take ref count when allocating the dst. This way, xfrm_bundle_create() will form a linked list of dst with dst->child pointing to a ref counted dst child. And the returned dst pointer is also ref counted. This makes the link from the flow cache to this dst now ref counted properly. As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only. And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() and its related function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or dst_release_immediate(). The special handling logic for dst->child in dst_destroy() can be replaced with a simple dst_release_immediate() call on the child to release the whole list linked by dst->child pointer. Previously used DST_NOHASH flag is not needed anymore as well. The reason that DST_NOHASH is used in the existing code is mainly to prevent the dst inserted in the fib tree to be wrongly destroyed during the deletion of the xfrm_dst bundle. So in the existing code, DST_NOHASH flag is marked in all the dst children except the one which is in the fib tree. However, with this patch series to remove dst gc logic and release dst only based on ref count, it is safe to release all the children from a xfrm_dst bundle as long as the dst children are all ref counted properly which is already the case in the existing code. So, this patch removes the use of DST_NOHASH flag. Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-06-17ipv6: get rid of icmp6 dst garbage collectorWei Wang
icmp6 dst route is currently ref counted during creation and will be freed by user during its call of dst_release(). So no need of a garbage collector for it.

2017-06-17ipv6: mark DST_NOGC and remove the operation of dst_free()Wei Wang
With the previous preparation patches, we are ready to get rid of the dst gc operation in ipv6 code and release dst based on refcnt only. So this patch adds DST_NOGC flag for all IPv6 dst and remove the calls to dst_free() and its related functions. At this point, all dst created in ipv6 code do not use the dst gc anymore and will be destroyed at the point when refcnt drops to 0. Also, as icmp6 dst route is refcounted during creation and will be freed by user during its call of dst_release(), there is no need to add this dst to the icmp6 gc list as well. Instead, we need to add it into uncached list so that when a NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISRER event comes, we can properly go through these icmp6 dst as well and release the net device properly.
