      vlan: mask vlan prio bits · d4b812de
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In commit 48cc32d3
      ("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols")
      Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST
      if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this
      particular id.
      
      But we also have a problem if prio bits are set.
      
      Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a
      vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device,
      because skb->vlan_tci is set.
      
      Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000)
      being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address :
      
      16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 >

      It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now.
      
      We can probably do better in future kernels :
      vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of
      a per vlan_dev one.
      
      For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

      ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8 · 8c5bd7ad
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      According to Matthew Garrett, "Windows 8 leaves backlight control up
      to individual graphics drivers rather than making ACPI calls itself.
      There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for
      Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that
      it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support
      Windows 8.  The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the
      ACPI backlight interface on these systems".
      
      There's a problem with that approach, however, because simply
      avoiding to register the ACPI backlight interface if the firmware
      calls _OSI for Windows 8 may not work in the following situations:
       (1) The ACPI backlight interface actually works on the given system
           and the i915 driver is not loaded (e.g. another graphics driver
           is used).
       (2) The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work on the given system,
           but there is a vendor platform driver that will register its
           own, equally broken, backlight interface if not prevented from
           doing so by the ACPI subsystem.
      Therefore we need to allow the ACPI backlight interface to be
      registered until the i915 driver is loaded which then will unregister
      it if the firmware has called _OSI for Windows 8 (or will register
      the ACPI video driver without backlight support if not already
      present).
      
      For this reason, introduce an alternative function for registering
      ACPI video, acpi_video_register_with_quirks(), that will check
      whether or not the ACPI video driver has already been registered
      and whether or not the backlight Windows 8 quirk has to be applied.
      If the quirk has to be applied, it will block the ACPI backlight
      support and either unregister the backlight interface if the ACPI
      video driver has already been registered, or register the ACPI
      video driver without the backlight interface otherwise.  Make
      the i915 driver use acpi_video_register_with_quirks() instead of
      acpi_video_register() in i915_driver_load().
      
      This change is based on earlier patches from Matthew Garrett,
      Chun-Yi Lee and Seth Forshee and includes a fix from Aaron Lu's.

      zbud: add to mm/ · 4e2e2770
      Seth Jennings 提交于
      zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  It
      is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page.
      While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
      deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
      density approach when reclaim will be used.
      
      zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs
      in a single memory page called a "zbud page".  The first buddy is "left
      justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is
      "right justified" at the end of the zbud page.  The benefit is that if
      either buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever
      slack space that existed between the buddies, results in the largest
      possible free region within the zbud page.
      
      zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density.  The ratio of
      zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1.  This ensures that zbud can
      never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the
      uncompressed zpages would have used on their own.
      
      This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used
      by zcache in the driver/staging tree.  The rewrite was necessary to
      remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained
      throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be
      used by zsmalloc and others.
      
      This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.

      dm: optimize use SRCU and RCU · 83d5e5b0
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and
      "holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with
      sleepable-rcu.
      
      Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to
      get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table"
      and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and
      dm_put_live_table unlocks it.
      
      dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of
      dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table. These *_fast functions use
      non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them.
      
      If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call
      dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.

      The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and
      sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that specifies the

      lib: add lz4 compressor module · c72ac7a1
      Chanho Min 提交于
      This patchset is for supporting LZ4 compression and the crypto API using
      it.
      
      As shown below, the size of data is a little bit bigger but compressing
      speed is faster under the enabled unaligned memory access.  We can use
      lz4 de/compression through crypto API as well.  Also, It will be useful
      for another potential user of lz4 compression.
      
      lz4 Compression Benchmark:
      Compiler: ARM gcc 4.6.4
      ARMv7, 1 GHz based board
         Kernel: linux 3.4
         Uncompressed data Size: 101 MB
               Compressed Size  compression Speed
         LZO   72.1MB		  32.1MB/s, 33.0MB/s(UA)
         LZ4   75.1MB		  30.4MB/s, 35.9MB/s(UA)
         LZ4HC 59.8MB		   2.4MB/s,  2.5MB/s(UA)
      - UA: Unaligned memory Access support
      - Latest patch set for LZO applied
      
      This patch:
      
      Add support for LZ4 compression in the Linux Kernel.  LZ4 Compression APIs
      for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation by Yann Collet and were changed
      for kernel coding style.

      LZ4 source repository : http://code.google.com/p/lz4/
      svn revision : r90
      
      Two APIs are added:
      
      lz4_compress() support basic lz4 compression whereas lz4hc_compress()
      support high compression or CPU performance get lower but compression
      ratio get higher.  Also, we require the pre-allocated working memory with
      the defined size and destination buffer must be allocated with the size of
      lz4_compressbound.

      - UA: Unaligned memory Access support
      - Latest patch set for LZO applied
      
      This patch set is for adding support for LZ4-compressed Kernel.  LZ4 is a
      very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely
      fast decoder [1].
      
      But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does
      arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones?  This issue
      had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2].
      
      Russell King said that we should have:
      
       - one decompressor which is the fastest
       - one decompressor for the highest compression ratio
       - one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip)
      
      If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly
      that: replace it.
      
      The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase
      in decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the
      fastest decompressor in the Kernel).  Therefore the "fast but may not be
      small" compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].
