2011-12-15cfg80211: validate nl80211 station handling betterJohannes Berg
The nl80211 station handling code is a bit messy and doesn't do a lot of validation. It seems like this could be an issue for drivers that don't use mac80211 to validate everything. As cfg80211 doesn't keep station state, move the validation of allowing supported_rates to change for TDLS only in station mode to mac80211.

2011-12-14driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and busesKay Sievers
All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing. There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly available. Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children of theses devices. For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem- wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device created in /sys/devices.) Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now, and no longer called a driver. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

2011-12-14kref: fix up the kfree build problemsGreg Kroah-Hartman
It turns out that some memory allocators use kobjects, which use krefs, and kref.h was wanting to figure out the address of kfree(), which ended up in a loop. kfree was only being needed for a warning to tell the caller that they were doing something stupid. Now we just move that warning into the comments for the functions, which results in a bit more fun as everyone enjoys digging for people to mock at times of boredom. So, remove the dependancy of slab.h on kref.h, and fix up the other include file as well (we really only need bug.h and atomic.h, not types.h).

2011-12-13cfg80211: Fix race in bss timeoutVasanthakumar Thiagarajan
It is quite possible to run into a race in bss timeout where the drivers see the bss entry just before notifying cfg80211 of a roaming event but it got timed out by the time rdev->event_work got scehduled from cfg80211_wq. This would result in the following WARN-ON() along with the failure to notify the user space of the roaming. The other situation which is happening with ath6kl that runs into issue is when the driver reports roam to same AP event where the AP bss entry already got expired. To fix this, move cfg80211_get_bss() from __cfg80211_roamed() to cfg80211_roamed().

2011-12-13mlx4_core: Modify driver initialization flow to accommodate SRIOV for EthernetJack Morgenstein
1. Added module parameters sr_iov and probe_vf for controlling enablement of SRIOV mode. 2. Increased default max num-qps, num-mpts and log_num_macs to accomodate SRIOV mode 3. Added port_type_array as a module parameter to allow driver startup with ports configured as desired. In SRIOV mode, only ETH is supported, and this array is ignored; otherwise, for the case where the FW supports both port types (ETH and IB), the port_type_array parameter is used. By default, the port_type_array is set to configure both ports as IB. 4. When running in sriov mode, the master needs to initialize the ICM eq table to hold the eq's for itself and also for all the slaves. 5. mlx4_set_port_mask() now invoked from mlx4_init_hca, instead of in mlx4_dev_cap. 6. Introduced sriov VF (slave) device startup/teardown logic (mainly procedures mlx4_init_slave, mlx4_slave_exit, mlx4_slave_cap, mlx4_slave_exit and flow modifications in __mlx4_init_one, mlx4_init_hca, and mlx4_setup_hca). VFs obtain their startup information from the PF (master) device via the comm channel. 7. In SRIOV mode (both PF and VF), MSI_X must be enabled, or the driver aborts loading the device. 8. Do not allow setting port type via sysfs when running in SRIOV mode. 9. mlx4_get_ownership: Currently, only one PF is supported by the driver. If the HCA is burned with FW which enables more than one PF, only one of the PFs is allowed to run. The first one up grabs a FW ownership semaphone -- all other PFs will find that semaphore taken, and the driver will not allow them to run.

2011-12-13mlx4_core: mtts resources units changed to offsetMarcel Apfelbaum
In the previous implementation mtts are managed by: 1. order - log(mtt segments), 'mtt segment' groups several mtts together. 2. first_seg - segment location relative to mtt table. In the current implementation: 1. order - log(mtts) rather than segments 2. offset - mtt index in mtt table Note: The actual mtt allocation is made in segments but it is transparent to callers.

2011-12-13kref: Remove the memory barriersPeter Zijlstra
Commit 1b0b3b9980e ("kref: fix CPU ordering with respect to krefs") wrongly adds memory barriers to kref. It states: some atomic operations are only atomic, not ordered. Thus a CPU is allowed to reorder memory references to an object to before the reference is obtained. This fixes it. While true, it fails to show why this is a problem. I say it is not a problem because if there is a race with kref_put() such that we could end up referencing a free'd object without this memory barrier, we would still have that race with the memory barrier. The kref_put() in question could complete (and free the object) before the atomic_inc() and we'd still be up shit creek. The kref_init() case is even worse, if your object is published at this time you're so wrong the memory barrier won't make a difference what so ever. If its not published, the act of publishing should include the needed barriers/locks to make sure all writes prior to the act of publishing are complete such that others will only observe a complete object.

2011-12-12linux/log2.h: Fix rounddown_pow_of_two(1)Linus Torvalds
Exactly like roundup_pow_of_two(1), the rounddown version was buggy for the case of a compile-time constant '1' argument. Probably because it originated from the same code, sharing history with the roundup version from before the bugfix (for that one, see commit 1a06a52ee1b0: "Fix roundup_pow_of_two(1)"). However, unlike the roundup version, the fix for rounddown is to just remove the broken special case entirely. It's simply not needed - the generic code 1UL << ilog2(n) does the right thing for the constant '1' argment too. The only reason roundup needed that special case was because rounding up does so by subtracting one from the argument (and then adding one to the result) causing the obvious problems with "ilog2(0)". But rounddown doesn't do any of that, since ilog2() naturally truncates (ie "rounds down") to the right rounded down value. And without the ilog2(0) case, there's no reason for the special case that had the wrong value. tl;dr: rounddown_pow_of_two(1) should be 1, not 0.

2011-12-12netem: add cell concept to simulate special MAC behaviorHagen Paul Pfeifer
This extension can be used to simulate special link layer characteristics. Simulate because packet data is not modified, only the calculation base is changed to delay a packet based on the original packet size and artificial cell information. packet_overhead can be used to simulate a link layer header compression scheme (e.g. set packet_overhead to -20) or with a positive packet_overhead value an additional MAC header can be simulated. It is also possible to "replace" the 14 byte Ethernet header with something else. cell_size and cell_overhead can be used to simulate link layer schemes, based on cells, like some TDMA schemes. Another application area are MAC schemes using a link layer fragmentation with a (small) header each. Cell size is the maximum amount of data bytes within one cell. Cell overhead is an additional variable to change the per-cell-overhead (e.g. 5 byte header per fragment). Example (5 kbit/s, 20 byte per packet overhead, cell-size 100 byte, per cell overhead 5 byte): tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 5kbit 20 100 5 Signed-off-by: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@jauu.net> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-12-12socket: initial cgroup code.Glauber Costa
The goal of this work is to move the memory pressure tcp controls to a cgroup, instead of just relying on global conditions. To avoid excessive overhead in the network fast paths, the code that accounts allocated memory to a cgroup is hidden inside a static_branch(). This branch is patched out until the first non-root cgroup is created. So when nobody is using cgroups, even if it is mounted, no significant performance penalty should be seen. This patch handles the generic part of the code, and has nothing tcp-specific.

2011-12-12foundations of per-cgroup memory pressure controlling.Glauber Costa
This patch replaces all uses of struct sock fields' memory_pressure, memory_allocated, sockets_allocated, and sysctl_mem to acessor macros. Those macros can either receive a socket argument, or a mem_cgroup argument, depending on the context they live in. Since we're only doing a macro wrapping here, no performance impact at all is expected in the case where we don't have cgroups disabled.

2011-12-11rcu: Augment rcu_batch_end tracing for idle and callback statePaul E. McKenney
The current rcu_batch_end event trace records only the name of the RCU flavor and the total number of callbacks that remain queued on the current CPU. This is insufficient for testing and tuning the new dyntick-idle RCU_FAST_NO_HZ code, so this commit adds idle state along with whether or not any of the callbacks that were ready to invoke at the beginning of rcu_do_batch() are still queued.

2011-12-11driver-core/cpu: Expose hotpluggability to the rest of the kernelJosh Triplett
When architectures register CPUs, they indicate whether the CPU allows hotplugging; notably, x86 and ARM don't allow hotplugging CPU 0. Userspace can easily query the hotpluggability of a CPU via sysfs; however, the kernel has no convenient way of accessing that property in an architecture-independent way. While the kernel can simply try it and see, some code needs to distinguish between "hotplug failed" and "hotplug has no hope of working on this CPU"; for example, rcutorture's CPU hotplug tests want to avoid drowning out real hotplug failures with expected failures. Expose this property via a new cpu_is_hotpluggable function, so that the rest of the kernel can access it in an architecture-independent way.

2011-12-11rcu: Permit dyntick-idle with callbacks pendingPaul E. McKenney
The current implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ prevents CPUs from entering dyntick-idle state if they have RCU callbacks pending. Unfortunately, this has the side-effect of often preventing them from entering this state, especially if at least one other CPU is not in dyntick-idle state. However, the resulting per-tick wakeup is wasteful in many cases: if the CPU has already fully responded to the current RCU grace period, there will be nothing for it to do until this grace period ends, which will frequently take several jiffies. This commit therefore permits a CPU that has done everything that the current grace period has asked of it (rcu_pending() == 0) even if it still as RCU callbacks pending. However, such a CPU posts a timer to wake it up several jiffies later (6 jiffies, based on experience with grace-period lengths). This wakeup is required to handle situations that can result in all CPUs being in dyntick-idle mode, thus failing to ever complete the current grace period. If a CPU wakes up before the timer goes off, then it cancels that timer, thus avoiding spurious wakeups. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-12-11rcu: Document same-context read-side constraintsPaul E. McKenney
The intent is that a given RCU read-side critical section be confined to a single context. For example, it is illegal to invoke rcu_read_lock() in an exception handler and then invoke rcu_read_unlock() from the context of the task that received the exception.

2011-12-11rcu: Eliminate RCU_FAST_NO_HZ grace-period hangPaul E. McKenney
With the new implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, it was possible to hang RCU grace periods as follows: o CPU 0 attempts to go idle, cycles several times through the rcu_prepare_for_idle() loop, then goes dyntick-idle when RCU needs nothing more from it, while still having at least on RCU callback pending. o CPU 1 goes idle with no callbacks. Both CPUs can then stay in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, preventing the RCU grace period from ever completing, possibly hanging the system. This commit therefore prevents CPUs that have RCU callbacks from entering dyntick-idle mode. This approach also eliminates the need for the end-of-grace-period IPIs used previously.
