      Merge branch 'ndo_xmit_flush' · fe88e6dd
      由 David S. Miller 提交于 
      Basic deferred TX queue flushing infrastructure.

Over time, and specifically and more recently at the Networking
Workshop during Kernel SUmmit in Chicago, we have discussed the idea
of having some way to optimize transmits of multiple TX packets at
a time.

There are several areas of overhead that could be amortized with such
schemes.  One has to do with locking and transactional overhead, the
other has to do with device specific costs.

This patch set here is more aimed at device specific costs.

Typically a device queues up a packet in the TX queue and then has to
do something to have the device start processing that new entry.
Sometimes this is composed of doing an MMIO write to a "tail"
register, and in other cases it can involve something as expensive as
a hypervisor call.

The basic setup defined here is that when the driver supports deferred
TX queue flushing, ndo_start_xmit should no longer perform that
operation.  Instead a new operation, ndo_xmit_flush, should do it.

I have converted IGB and virtio_net as example initial users.  The IGB
conversion is tested, virtio_net is not but it does compile :-)

All ndo_start_xmit call sites have been abstracted behind a new helper
called netdev_start_xmit().

This just adds the infrastructure, it does not actually add any
instances of actually doing multiple ndo_start_xmit calls per
ndo_xmit_flush invocation.

      ipv6: White-space cleansing : gaps between function and symbol export · 4c83acbc
      由 Ian Morris 提交于 
      This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses
coding style issues as detected by checkpatch.

Both objdump and diff -w show no differences.

This patch removes some blank lines between the end of a function
definition and the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro in order to prevent
checkpatch warning that EXPORT_SYMBOL must immediately follow
a function.

      This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses
coding style issues as detected by checkpatch.

This patch addresses structure definitions, specifically it cleanses the brace
placement and replaces spaces with tabs in a few places.

      This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses
coding style issues as detected by checkpatch.

Both objdump and diff -w show no differences.

A number of items are addressed in this patch:
* Multiple spaces converted to tabs
* Spaces before tabs removed.
* Spaces in pointer typing cleansed (char *)foo etc.
* Remove space after sizeof
* Ensure spacing around comparators such as if statements.

      random32: improvements to prandom_bytes · a98406e2
      由 Daniel Borkmann 提交于 
      This patch addresses a couple of minor items, mostly addesssing
prandom_bytes(): 1) prandom_bytes{,_state}() should use size_t
for length arguments, 2) We can use put_unaligned() when filling
the array instead of open coding it [ perhaps some archs will
further benefit from their own arch specific implementation when
GCC cannot make up for it ], 3) Fix a typo, 4) Better use unsigned
int as type for getting the arch seed, 5) Make use of
prandom_u32_max() for timer slack.

Regarding the change to put_unaligned(), callers of prandom_bytes()
which internally invoke prandom_bytes_state(), don't bother as
they expect the array to be filled randomly and don't have any
control of the internal state what-so-ever (that's also why we
have periodic reseeding there, etc), so they really don't care.

Now for the direct callers of prandom_bytes_state(), which
are solely located in test cases for MTD devices, that is,
drivers/mtd/tests/{oobtest.c,pagetest.c,subpagetest.c}:

These tests basically fill a test write-vector through
prandom_bytes_state() with an a-priori defined seed each time
and write that to a MTD device. Later on, they set up a read-vector
and read back that blocks from the device. So in the verification
phase, the write-vector is being re-setup [ so same seed and
prandom_bytes_state() called ], and then memcmp()'ed against the
read-vector to check if the data is the same.

Akinobu, Lothar and I also tested this patch and it runs through
the 3 relevant MTD test cases w/o any errors on the nandsim device
(simulator for MTD devs) for x86_64, ppc64, ARM (i.MX28, i.MX53
and i.MX6):

  # modprobe nandsim first_id_byte=0x20 second_id_byte=0xac \
                     third_id_byte=0x00 fourth_id_byte=0x15
  # modprobe mtd_oobtest dev=0
  # modprobe mtd_pagetest dev=0
  # modprobe mtd_subpagetest dev=0

We also don't have any users depending directly on a particular
result of the PRNG (except the PRNG self-test itself), and that's
just fine as it e.g. allowed us easily to do things like upgrading
from taus88 to taus113.
