2015-10-04misc: mic: SCIF RMA header file and IOCTL changesSudeep Dutt
This patch updates the SCIF header file and IOCTL interface with the changes required to support RMAs. APIs added include the ability to pin pages and register those pages with SCIF. SCIF kernel clients can also add references to remote registered pages and access them via the CPU. The user space IOCTL interface has been updated to enable SCIF registration, RDMA/CPU copies and fence APIs for RDMA synchronization.

2015-10-04misc: mic: Remove COSM functionality from the MIC card driverAshutosh Dixit
Since card side COSM functionality, to trigger MIC device shutdowns and communicate shutdown status to the host, is now moved into a separate COSM client driver, this patch removes this functionality from the base MIC card driver. The mic_bus driver is also updated to use the device index provided by COSM rather than maintain its own device index.

2015-09-24phy: fix mdiobus module safetyRussell King
Re-implement the mdiobus module refcounting to ensure that we actually ensure that the mdiobus module code does not go away while we might call into it. The old scheme using bus->dev.driver was buggy, because bus->dev is a class device which never has a struct device_driver associated with it, and hence the associated code trying to obtain a refcount did nothing useful. Instead, take the approach that other subsystems do: pass the module when calling mdiobus_register(), and record that in the mii_bus struct. When we need to increment the module use count in the phy code, use this stored pointer. When the phy is deteched, drop the module refcount, remembering that the phy device might go away at that point. This doesn't stop the mii_bus going away while there are in-use phys - it merely stops the underlying code vanishing. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-09-24lwtunnel: remove source and destination UDP port config optionJiri Benc
The UDP tunnel config is asymmetric wrt. to the ports used. The source and destination ports from one direction of the tunnel are not related to the ports of the other direction. We need to be able to respond to ARP requests using the correct ports without involving routing. As the consequence, UDP ports need to be fixed property of the tunnel interface and cannot be set per route. Remove the ability to set ports per route. This is still okay to do, as no kernel has been released with these attributes yet. Note that the ability to specify source and destination ports is preserved for other users of the lwtunnel API which don't use routes for tunnel key specification (like openvswitch). If in the future we rework ARP handling to allow port specification, the attributes can be added back.

2015-09-24ipv4: send arp replies to the correct tunnelJiri Benc
When using ip lwtunnels, the additional data for xmit (basically, the actual tunnel to use) are carried in ip_tunnel_info either in dst->lwtstate or in metadata dst. When replying to ARP requests, we need to send the reply to the same tunnel the request came from. This means we need to construct proper metadata dst for ARP replies. We could perform another route lookup to get a dst entry with the correct lwtstate. However, this won't always ensure that the outgoing tunnel is the same as the incoming one, and it won't work anyway for IPv4 duplicate address detection. The only thing to do is to "reverse" the ip_tunnel_info. Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@redhat.com> Acked-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-09-24cgroup, writeback: don't enable cgroup writeback on traditional hierarchiesTejun Heo
inode_cgwb_enabled() gates cgroup writeback support. If it returns true, each inode is attached to the corresponding memory domain which gets mapped to io domain. It currently only tests whether the filesystem and bdi support cgroup writeback; however, cgroup writeback support doesn't work on traditional hierarchies and thus it should also test whether memcg and iocg are on the default hierarchy. This caused traditional hierarchy setups to hit the cgroup writeback path inadvertently and ended up creating separate writeback domains for each memcg and mapping them all to the root iocg uncovering a couple issues in the cgroup writeback path. cgroup writeback was never meant to be enabled on traditional hierarchies. Make inode_cgwb_enabled() test whether both memcg and iocg are on the default hierarchy.

2015-09-23netpoll: Close race condition between poll_one_napi and napi_disableNeil Horman
Drivers might call napi_disable while not holding the napi instance poll_lock. In those instances, its possible for a race condition to exist between poll_one_napi and napi_disable. That is to say, poll_one_napi only tests the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit to see if there is work to do during a poll, and as such the following may happen: CPU0 CPU1 ndo_tx_timeout napi_poll_dev napi_disable poll_one_napi test_and_set_bit (ret 0) test_bit (ret 1) reset adapter napi_poll_routine If the adapter gets a tx timeout without a napi instance scheduled, its possible for the adapter to think it has exclusive access to the hardware (as the napi instance is now scheduled via the napi_disable call), while the netpoll code thinks there is simply work to do. The result is parallel hardware access leading to corrupt data structures in the driver, and a crash. Additionaly, there is another, more critical race between netpoll and napi_disable. The disabled napi state is actually identical to the scheduled state for a given napi instance. The implication being that, if a napi instance is disabled, a netconsole instance would see the napi state of the device as having been scheduled, and poll it, likely while the driver was dong something requiring exclusive access. In the case above, its fairly clear that not having the rings in a state ready to be polled will cause any number of crashes. The fix should be pretty easy. netpoll uses its own bit to indicate that that the napi instance is in a state of being serviced by netpoll (NAPI_STATE_NPSVC). We can just gate disabling on that bit as well as the sched bit. That should prevent netpoll from conducting a napi poll if we convert its set bit to a test_and_set_bit operation to provide mutual exclusion Change notes: V2) Remove a trailing whtiespace Resubmit with proper subject prefix V3) Clean up spacing nits Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> CC: "David S.

2015-09-21tcp/dccp: fix timewait races in timer handlingEric Dumazet
When creating a timewait socket, we need to arm the timer before allowing other cpus to find it. The signal allowing cpus to find the socket is setting tw_refcnt to non zero value. As we set tw_refcnt in __inet_twsk_hashdance(), we therefore need to call inet_twsk_schedule() first. This also means we need to remove tw_refcnt changes from inet_twsk_schedule() and let the caller handle it. Note that because we use mod_timer_pinned(), we have the guarantee the timer wont expire before we set tw_refcnt as we run in BH context. To make things more readable I introduced inet_twsk_reschedule() helper. When rearming the timer, we can use mod_timer_pending() to make sure we do not rearm a canceled timer. Note: This bug can possibly trigger if packets of a flow can hit multiple cpus. This does not normally happen, unless flow steering is broken somehow. This explains this bug was spotted ~5 months after its introduction. A similar fix is needed for SYN_RECV sockets in reqsk_queue_hash_req(), but will be provided in a separate patch for proper tracking.

2015-09-20ti-st: use worker instead of calling st_int_write in wake upMuhammad Hamza Farooq
The wake up method is called with the port lock held. The st_int_write method calls port->ops->write with tries to acquire the lock again, causing CPU to wait infinitely.

2015-09-20net: Fix behaviour of unreachable, blackhole and prohibit routesNikola Forró
Man page of ip-route(8) says following about route types: unreachable - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are dis‐ carded and the ICMP message host unreachable is generated. The local senders get an EHOSTUNREACH error. blackhole - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are dis‐ carded silently. The local senders get an EINVAL error. prohibit - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded and the ICMP message communication administratively prohibited is generated. The local senders get an EACCES error. In the inet6 address family, this was correct, except the local senders got ENETUNREACH error instead of EHOSTUNREACH in case of unreachable route. In the inet address family, all three route types generated ICMP message net unreachable, and the local senders got ENETUNREACH error. In both address families all three route types now behave consistently with documentation. Signed-off-by: Nikola Forró <nforro@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-09-19mm: fix type cast in __pfn_to_phys()Tyler Baker
The various definitions of __pfn_to_phys() have been consolidated to use a generic macro in include/asm-generic/memory_model.h. This hit mainline in the form of 012dcef3f058 "mm: move __phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h". When the generic macro was implemented the type cast to phys_addr_t was dropped which caused boot regressions on ARM platforms with more than 4GB of memory and LPAE enabled. It was suggested to use PFN_PHYS() defined in include/linux/pfn.h as provides the correct logic and avoids further duplication.
