Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot updates for cgroup:

   - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs.  cgroup took
     after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
     made it even more convoluted over time.  cgroup's internal objects
     were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
     object lifetime rules.  Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
     don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
     dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
     number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
     actually necessary, needed to be employed.

     After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
     rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
     of several nasty hacks and overall simplification.  This will also
     allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
     which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
     i_mutexes.

   - Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
     easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
     handling and task_cg_lists optimization.

   - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
     a patchset away from being actually operational.  The dummy
     hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
     Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
     associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
     anyway.

   - Various fixes from Li and others.  This pull request includes some
     patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems.  This was
     triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h.  cgroup.h
     indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
     which brought in slab.h.

  There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
  necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
  driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own file

2014-04-01T20:43:18+00:00

This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is
triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set:

  ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined!

The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier,
so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select
it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to
select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK
or similar that would pull it in automatically.

This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP
program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits
to drivers.

This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw()
API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also,
the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it
can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]).

In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg
tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via
`./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the
commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when
there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need
to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead,
a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old
code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very
same filter.

cgroup: make CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO bool and drop unnecessary init_netclassid_cgroup()

2014-02-08T15:36:58+00:00

net_prio is the only cgroup which is allowed to be built as a module.
The savings from allowing one controller to be built as a module are
tiny especially given that cgroup module support itself adds quite a
bit of complexity.

Given that none of other controllers has much chance of being made a
module and that we're unlikely to add new modular controllers, the
added complexity is simply not justifiable.

As a first step to drop cgroup module support, this patch changes the
config option to bool from tristate and drops module related code from
it.

Also, while an earlier commit fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move
cgroupfs classid handling into core") dropped module support from
net_cls cgroup, it retained a call to cgroup_load_subsys(), which is
noop for built-in controllers.  Drop it along with
init_netclassid_cgroup().

v2: Removed modular version of task_netprioidx() in
    include/net/netprio_cgroup.h as suggested by Li Zefan.

v3: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs
    classid handling into core").  net_cls cgroup part is mostly
    dropped except for removal of init_netclassid_cgroup().

net: netprio: rename config to be more consistent with cgroup configs

2014-01-03T22:41:42+00:00

While we're at it and introduced CGROUP_NET_CLASSID, lets also make
NETPRIO_CGROUP more consistent with the rest of cgroups and rename it
into CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO so that for networking, we now have
CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_{PRIO,CLASSID}. This not only makes the CONFIG
option consistent among networking cgroups, but also among cgroups
CONFIG conventions in general as the vast majority has a prefix of
CONFIG_CGROUP_.

net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core

2014-01-03T22:41:41+00:00

Zefan Li requested [1] to perform the following cleanup/refactoring:

- Split cgroupfs classid handling into net core to better express a
  possible more generic use.

- Disable module support for cgroupfs bits as the majority of other
  cgroupfs subsystems do not have that, and seems to be not wished
  from cgroup side. Zefan probably might want to follow-up for netprio
  later on.

- By this, code can be further reduced which previously took care of
  functionality built when compiled as module.

cgroupfs bits are being placed under net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c, so
that we are consistent with {netclassid,netprio}_cgroup naming that is
under net/core/ as suggested by Zefan.

No change in functionality, but only code refactoring that is being
done here.

net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (HSRv0)

2013-11-04T04:20:14+00:00

High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.

HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in
IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0).
