<content type='text'>
Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation
through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem.

The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows:

 (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it
     calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but
     creating a call requires the socket lock:

	mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC

 (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it.  rxrpc_bind()
     binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock.
     inet_bind() takes its own socket lock:

	sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET

 (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault
     and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is
     locked whilst doing this:

	sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem

However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only
with lock classes and not individual locks.  The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't
really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a
socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace.  This is
a limitation in the design of lockdep.

Fix the general case by:

 (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are
     used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used
     if the socket is created by the kernel.

 (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the
     sock struct (sk_kern_sock).  This informs sock_lock_init(),
     sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used.

     Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's
     kern setting.

 (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to -&gt;accept() that is analogous to the one
     passed in to -&gt;create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or
     sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc().

     Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already
     allocated socket.  I haven't touched these as the new socket already
     exists before we get the parameter.

     Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted
     socket unconditionally kernel-based:

	irda_accept()
	rds_rcp_accept_one()
	tcp_accept_from_sock()

     because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that.

Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets
through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel,
though they appear to be internal.  I wonder if these should do that so
that they use the new set of lock keys.

<title>tun: switch to use skb array for tx</title>

We used to queue tx packets in sk_receive_queue, this is less
efficient since it requires spinlocks to synchronize between producer
and consumer.

This patch tries to address this by:

- switch from sk_receive_queue to a skb_array, and resize it when
  tx_queue_len was changed.
- introduce a new proto_ops peek_len which was used for peeking the
  skb length.
- implement a tun version of peek_len for vhost_net to use and convert
  vhost_net to use peek_len if possible.

Pktgen test shows about 15.3% improvement on guest receiving pps for small
buffers:

Before: ~1300000pps
After : ~1500000pps

<title>net: Don't forget pr_fmt on net_dbg_ratelimited for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG</title>

<content type='text'>
The implementation of net_dbg_ratelimited in the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
case was added with 2c94b5373 ("net: Implement net_dbg_ratelimited() for
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case"). The implementation strategy was to take the
usual definition of the dynamic_pr_debug macro, but alter it by adding a
call to "net_ratelimit()" in the if statement. This is, in fact, the
correct approach.

However, while doing this, the author of the commit forgot to surround
fmt by pr_fmt, resulting in unprefixed log messages appearing in the
console. So, this commit adds back the pr_fmt(fmt) invocation, making
net_dbg_ratelimited properly consistent across DEBUG, no DEBUG, and
DYNAMIC_DEBUG cases, and bringing parity with the behavior of
dynamic_pr_debug as well.

Prior to commit d92cff89a0c8 ("net_dbg_ratelimited: turn into no-op
when !DEBUG") the implementation of net_dbg_ratelimited() was buggy
for both the DEBUG and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG cases.

The bug was that net_ratelimit() was being called and, despite
returning true, nothing was being printed to the console. This
resulted in messages like the following -

"net_ratelimit: %d callbacks suppressed"

with no other output nearby.

After commit d92cff89a0c8 ("net_dbg_ratelimited: turn into no-op when
!DEBUG") the bug is fixed for the DEBUG case. However, there's no
output at all for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case.

This patch restores debug output (if enabled) for the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case.

Add a definition of net_dbg_ratelimited() for the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
case. The implementation takes care to check that dynamic debugging is
enabled before calling net_ratelimit().

Dmitry provided a syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)
triggering a fault in sock_wake_async() when async IO is requested.

Said program stressed af_unix sockets, but the issue is generic
and should be addressed in core networking stack.

The problem is that by the time sock_wake_async() is called,
we should not access the @flags field of 'struct socket',
as the inode containing this socket might be freed without
further notice, and without RCU grace period.

We already maintain an RCU protected structure, "struct socket_wq"
so moving SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE &amp; SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA into it
is the safe route.

It also reduces number of cache lines needing dirtying, so might
provide a performance improvement anyway.

In followup patches, we might move remaining flags (SOCK_NOSPACE,
SOCK_PASSCRED, SOCK_PASSSEC) to save 8 bytes and let 'struct socket'
being mostly read and let it being shared between cpus.

This patch is a cleanup to make following patch easier to
review.

Goal is to move SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_ASYNC_WAITDATA
from (struct socket)-&gt;flags to a (struct socket_wq)-&gt;flags
to benefit from RCU protection in sock_wake_async()

To ease backports, we rename both constants.

Two new helpers, sk_set_bit(int nr, struct sock *sk)
and sk_clear_bit(int net, struct sock *sk) are added so that
following patch can change their implementation.

following patch can change their implementation.
