When processing received traffic, pass CHECKSUM_COMPLETE status to the
stack, with calculated checksum for non TCP/UDP packets (such
as GRE or ICMP).
Although the stack expects checksum which doesn't include the pseudo
header, the HW adds it. To address that, we are subtracting the pseudo
header checksum from the checksum value provided by the HW.
In the IPv6 case, we also compute/add the IP header checksum which
is not added by the HW for such packets.

====================
pull request: wireless-next 2014-11-07
Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.19 stream!
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"This relatively large batch of changes is comprised of the following:
* large mac80211-hwsim changes from Ben, Jukka and a bit myself
* OCB/WAVE/11p support from Rostislav on behalf of the Czech Technical
University in Prague and Volkswagen Group Research
* minstrel VHT work from Karl
* more CSA work from Luca
* WMM admission control support in mac80211 (myself)
* various smaller fixes, spelling corrections, and minor API additions"
For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says:
"Here's the first bluetooth-next pull request for 3.19. The vast majority
of patches are for ieee802154 from Alexander Aring with various fixes
and cleanups. There are also several LE/SMP fixes as well as improved
support for handling LE devices that have lost their pairing information
(the patches from Alfonso). Jukka provides a couple of stability fixes
for 6lowpan and Szymon conformance fixes for RFCOMM. For the HCI drivers
we have one new USB ID for an Acer controller as well as a reset
handling fix for H5."
For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:
"Major changes are:
o ethtool support (Ben)
o print dev string prefix with debug hex buffers dump (Michal)
o debugfs file to read calibration data from the firmware verification
purposes (me)
o fix fw_stats debugfs file, now results are more reliable (Michal)
o firmware crash counters via debugfs (Ben&me)
o various tracing points to debug firmware (Rajkumar)
o make it possible to provide firmware calibration data via a file (me)
And we have quite a lot of smaller fixes and clean up."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"The big new thing here is netdetect which allows the
firmware to wake up the platform when a specific network
is detected. Along with that I have fixes for d3 operation.
The usual amount of rate scaling stuff - we now support STBC.
The other commit that stands out is Johannes's work on
devcoredump. He basically starts to use the standard
infrastructure he built."
Along with that are the usual sort of updates and such for ath9k,
brcmfmac, wil6210, and a handful of other bits here and there...
Please let me know if there are problems!

Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard.
Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting
goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal
latencies.
To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use :
ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44
But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to
50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when
a packet with TCP Push flag is received.
Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every
incoming packet.
This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do,
based on traffic pattern.
Packets with Push flag wont be delayed.
Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep
receiving data.
This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting
/sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond.
To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done()
instead of napi_complete().
Tested:
Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues)
Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second.
GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet)
Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes
and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42)
Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up.
This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK
packets.
Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can
decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches
doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

By default the arch_fast_hash hashing function pointers are initialized
to jhash(2). If during boot-up a CPU with SSE4.2 is detected they get
updated to the CRC32 ones. This dispatching scheme incurs a function
pointer lookup and indirect call for every hashing operation.
rhashtable as a user of arch_fast_hash e.g. stores pointers to hashing
functions in its structure, too, causing two indirect branches per
hashing operation.
Using alternative_call we can get away with one of those indirect branches.

This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr->msg_iov, length".
When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
sit in the msghdr.
Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
during that transformation.

Commit 0a31bc97c80c ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed
page migration to uncharge the old page right away. The page is locked,
unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback
ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly:
test_clear_page_writeback() migration
wait_on_page_writeback()
TestClearPageWriteback()
mem_cgroup_migrate()
clear PCG_USED
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
if (PageCgroupUsed(pc))
decrease memcg pages under writeback
release pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock
The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a
function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path,
which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before
clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later.
Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of
the transaction and then uses it throughout. The charge will be
verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge
the page as long as that is still set. The RCU lock will protect the
memcg past uncharge.
As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are
from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file
three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes
that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead.
There is no actual difference:
old: 33.195102545 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% )
new: 33.199231369 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.03% )
The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the
same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced:
# Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
old: 0.12% 0.11% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap
new: 0.12% 0.08% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap

If an anonymous mapping is not allowed to fault thp memory and then
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) is used after fault, khugepaged will never
collapse this memory into thp memory.
This occurs because the madvise(2) handler for thp, hugepage_madvise(),
clears VM_NOHUGEPAGE on the stack and it isn't stored in vma->vm_flags
until the final action of madvise_behavior(). This causes the
khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() to be a no-op in hugepage_madvise() when
the vma had previously had VM_NOHUGEPAGE set.
Fix this by passing the correct vma flags to the khugepaged mm slot
handler. There's no chance khugepaged can run on this vma until after
madvise_behavior() returns since we hold mm->mmap_sem.
It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma->vm_flags
in hugepage_advise(), but I didn't want to introduce special case
behavior into madvise_behavior(). I think it's best to just let it
always set vma->vm_flags itself.

Add a sysctl that causes an interface's optimistic addresses
to be considered equivalent to other non-deprecated addresses
for source address selection purposes. Preferred addresses
will still take precedence over optimistic addresses, subject
to other ranking in the source address selection algorithm.
This is useful where different interfaces are connected to
different networks from different ISPs (e.g., a cell network
and a home wifi network).
The current behaviour complies with RFC 3484/6724, and it
makes sense if the host has only one interface, or has
multiple interfaces on the same network (same or cooperating
administrative domain(s), but not in the multiple distinct
networks case.
For example, if a mobile device has an IPv6 address on an LTE
network and then connects to IPv6-enabled wifi, while the wifi
IPv6 address is undergoing DAD, IPv6 connections will try use
the wifi default route with the LTE IPv6 address, and will get
stuck until they time out.
Also, because optimistic nodes can receive frames, issue
an RTM_NEWADDR as soon as DAD starts (with the IFA_F_OPTIMSTIC
flag appropriately set). A second RTM_NEWADDR is sent if DAD
completes (the address flags have changed), otherwise an
RTM_DELADDR is sent.
Also: add an entry in ip-sysctl.txt for optimistic_dad.

While testing upcoming Yaogong patch (converting out of order queue
into an RB tree), I hit the max reordering level of linux TCP stack.
Reordering level was limited to 127 for no good reason, and some
network setups [1] can easily reach this limit and get limited
throughput.
Allow a new max limit of 300, and add a sysctl to allow admins to even
allow bigger (or lower) values if needed.

The bug referenced by the comment in this commit was not
completely fixed in GCC 4.8.2, as I mentioned in a thread back
in February:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/12/797
The conclusion at that time was to make the quirk unconditional
until the bug could be found and fixed in GCC. Unfortunately,
when I submitted the patch (commit a9f18034) I left a comment
in that claimed the bug was fixed in GCC 4.8.2+.
This comment is inaccurate, and should be removed.

On some devices (especially little-endian ones), the flash EEPROM data
has a different endian, which needs to be detected.
Add a flag to the platform data to allow overriding that behavior

This patch adds a generic valid psdu length check function helper. This
is useful to check the length field after receiving. For example the
at86rf231 doesn't filter invalid psdu length. Sometimes the CRC can also
be correct. If we get the lqi value with an invalid frame length the
kernel may crash because we dereference an invalid pointer in the
receive buffer.

The PXA168 Ethernet IP support MII and RMII connection to its PHY.
Currently, pxa168 platform_data does not provide a way to pass that
and there is one user of pxa168 platform_data (mach-mmp/gplug).
Given the pinctrl settings of gplug it uses RMII, so add and pass
a corresponding phy_interface_t.

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"This is a pretty large update. I think it is roughly as big as what I
usually had for the _whole_ rc period.
There are a few bad bugs where the guest can OOPS or crash the host.
We have also started looking at attack models for nested
virtualization; bugs that usually result in the guest ring 0 crashing
itself become more worrisome if you have nested virtualization,
because the nested guest might bring down the non-nested guest as
well. For current uses of nested virtualization these do not really
have a security impact, but you never know and bugs are bugs
nevertheless.
A lot of these bugs are in 3.17 too, resulting in a large number of
stable@ Ccs. I checked that all the patches apply there with no
conflicts"
