2010-03-24Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt: correct cpu_relax() documentationRussell King
cpu_relax() is documented in volatile-considered-harmful.txt to be a memory barrier. However, everyone with the exception of Blackfin and possibly ia64 defines cpu_relax() to be a compiler barrier. Make the documentation reflect the general concensus. Linus sayeth: : I don't think it was ever the intention that it would be seen as anything : but a compiler barrier, although it is obviously implied that it might : well perform some per-architecture actions that have "memory barrier-like" : semantics. : : After all, the whole and only point of the "cpu_relax()" thing is to tell : the CPU that we're busy-looping on some event. : : And that "event" might be (and often is) about reading the same memory : location over and over until it changes to what we want it to be. So it's : quite possible that on various architectures the "cpu_relax()" could be : about making sure that such a tight loop on loads doesn't starve cache : transactions, for example - and as such look a bit like a memory barrier : from a CPU standpoint. : : But it's not meant to have any kind of architectural memory ordering : semantics as far as the kernel is concerned - those must come from other : sources.

2010-03-22ppc64 sys_ipc breakage in 2.6.34-rc2Anton Blanchard
I chased down a fail on ppc64 on 2.6.34-rc2 where an application that uses shared memory was getting a SEGV. Commit baed7fc9b580bd3fb8252ff1d9b36eaf1f86b670 ("Add generic sys_ipc wrapper") changed the second argument from an unsigned long to an int. When we call shmget the system call wrappers for sys_ipc will sign extend second (ie the size) which truncates it. It took a while to track down because the call succeeds and strace shows the untruncated size :) The patch below changes second from an int to an unsigned long which fixes shmget on ppc64 (and I assume s390, sparc64 and mips64). Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> -- I assume the function prototypes for the other IPC methods would cause us to sign or zero extend second where appropriate (avoiding any security issues). Come to think of it, the syscall wrappers for each method should do that for us as well. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-03-21ipv4: Don't drop redirected route cache entry unless PTMU actually expiredGuenter Roeck
TCP sessions over IPv4 can get stuck if routers between endpoints do not fragment packets but implement PMTU instead, and we are using those routers because of an ICMP redirect. Setup is as follows MTU1 MTU2 MTU1 A--------B------C------D with MTU1 > MTU2. A and D are endpoints, B and C are routers. B and C implement PMTU and drop packets larger than MTU2 (for example because DF is set on all packets). TCP sessions are initiated between A and D. There is packet loss between A and D, causing frequent TCP retransmits. After the number of retransmits on a TCP session reaches tcp_retries1, tcp calls dst_negative_advice() prior to each retransmit. This results in route cache entries for the peer to be deleted in ipv4_negative_advice() if the Path MTU is set. If the outstanding data on an affected TCP session is larger than MTU2, packets sent from the endpoints will be dropped by B or C, and ICMP NEEDFRAG will be returned. A and D receive NEEDFRAG messages and update PMTU. Before the next retransmit, tcp will again call dst_negative_advice(), causing the route cache entry (with correct PMTU) to be deleted. The retransmitted packet will be larger than MTU2, causing it to be dropped again. This sequence repeats until the TCP session aborts or is terminated. Problem is fixed by removing redirected route cache entries in ipv4_negative_advice() only if the PMTU is expired. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-03-20NET_DMA: free skbs periodicallySteven J. Magnani
Under NET_DMA, data transfer can grind to a halt when userland issues a large read on a socket with a high RCVLOWAT (i.e., 512 KB for both). This appears to be because the NET_DMA design queues up lots of memcpy operations, but doesn't issue or wait for them (and thus free the associated skbs) until it is time for tcp_recvmesg() to return. The socket hangs when its TCP window goes to zero before enough data is available to satisfy the read. Periodically issue asynchronous memcpy operations, and free skbs for ones that have completed, to prevent sockets from going into zero-window mode. Signed-off-by: Steven J.

2010-03-19ixgbevf: Fix VF Stats accounting after resetGreg Rose
The counters in the 82599 Virtual Function are not clear on read. They accumulate to the maximum value and then roll over. They are also not cleared when the VF executes a soft reset, so it is possible they are non-zero when the driver loads and starts. This has all been accounted for in the code that keeps the stats up to date but there is one case that is not. When the PF driver is reset the counters in the VF are all reset to zero. This adds an additional accounting overhead into the VF driver when the PF is reset under its feet. This patch adds additional counters that are used by the VF driver to accumulate and save stats after a PF reset has been detected. Prior to this patch displaying the stats in the VF after the PF has reset would show bogus data.

Currently netdev_features_change is called before fcoe tx queues setup is done, so this patch moves calling of netdev_features_change after tx queues setup is done in ixgbe_init_interrupt_scheme, so that real_num_tx_queues is updated correctly on each fcoe enable or disable. This allows additional fcoe queues updated correctly in vlan driver for their correct queue selection.

2010-03-19TCP: check min TTL on received ICMP packetsstephen hemminger
This adds RFC5082 checks for TTL on received ICMP packets. It adds some security against spoofed ICMP packets disrupting GTSM protected sessions. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-03-19ipv6: Remove redundant dst NULL check in ip6_dst_checkHerbert Xu
As the only path leading to ip6_dst_check makes an indirect call through dst->ops, dst cannot be NULL in ip6_dst_check. This patch removes this check in case it misleads people who come across this code. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-03-19ipv4: check rt_genid in dst_checkTimo Teräs
Xfrm_dst keeps a reference to ipv4 rtable entries on each cached bundle. The only way to renew xfrm_dst when the underlying route has changed, is to implement dst_check for this. This is what ipv6 side does too. The problems started after 87c1e12b5eeb7b30b4b41291bef8e0b41fc3dde9 ("ipsec: Fix bogus bundle flowi") which fixed a bug causing xfrm_dst to not get reused, until that all lookups always generated new xfrm_dst with new route reference and path mtu worked. But after the fix, the old routes started to get reused even after they were expired causing pmtu to break (well it would occationally work if the rtable gc had run recently and marked the route obsolete causing dst_check to get called).
