      if_link: Add additional parameter to IFLA_VF_INFO for spoof checking · 5f8444a3
      Greg Rose 提交于
      Add configuration setting for drivers to turn spoof checking on or off
      for discrete VFs.
      
      v2 - Fix indentation problem, wrap the ifla_vf_info structure in
           #ifdef __KERNEL__ to prevent user space from accessing and
           change function paramater for the spoof check setting netdev
           op from u8 to bool.
      v3 - Preset spoof check setting to -1 so that user space tools such
           as ip can detect that the driver didn't report a spoofcheck
           setting.  Prevents incorrect display of spoof check settings
           for drivers that don't report it.

      net: more accurate skb truesize · 87fb4b7b
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
      kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.
      
      Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
      take it into account for better memory accounting.
      
      This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
      assumptions into a single place.
      
      At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
      skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
      reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.
      
      Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
      aligned to cache lines, as before.
      
      Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
      misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
      limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a
      more accurate memory accounting.

      nl80211/mac80211: allow adding TDLS peers as stations · 07ba55d7
      Arik Nemtsov 提交于
      When adding a TDLS peer STA, mark it with a new flag in both nl80211 and
      mac80211. Before adding a peer, make sure the wiphy supports TDLS and
      our operating mode is appropriate (managed).
      
      In addition, make sure all peers are removed on disassociation.
      
      A TDLS peer is first added just before link setup is initiated. In later
      setup stages we have more info about peer supported rates, capabilities,
      etc. This info is reported via nl80211_set_station().

      mac80211: handle TDLS high-level commands and frames · dfe018bf
      Arik Nemtsov 提交于
      Register and implement the TDLS cfg80211 callback functions.
      
      Internally prepare and send TDLS management frames. We incorporate
      local STA capabilities and supported rates with extra IEs given by
      usermode. The resulting packet is either encapsulated in a data frame,
      or assembled as an action frame. It is transmitted either directly or
      through the AP, as mandated by the TDLS specification.
      
      Declare support for the TDLS external setup wiphy capability. This
      tells usermode to handle link setup and discovery on its own, and use the
      kernel driver for sending TDLS mgmt packets.

      posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles · d670ec13
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      David reported:
      
        Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from
        GLIBC.  Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or
        similar.
      
        Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread
        will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep
        which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock
        difference.  This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread
        is part of the top-level process's thread group.
      
        I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and
        64-bit binaries).
      
        For example:
      
        [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test
        process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404)
        thread:  before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739)
        self:    before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698)
        [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ 
      
        The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'.
      
        I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly
        around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements
        are the outer-most ones.

      	  return 0;
        }
      
      This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in
      thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all
      data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick
      or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using
      task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks.
      
      This also means we can (and must) do away with
      thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime()
      is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from
      thread_group_sched_runtime().
      
      Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old
      code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a
      64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

      vfs: remove LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag · b6c8069d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points
      as eagerly any more.  Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT
      handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for
      cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could
      return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet.
      
      With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been
      about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the
      newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth
      it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply
      adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat
      family system calls, old and new.
      
      So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a
      result of our bad default behavior.

      vfs pathname lookup: Add LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag · d94c177b
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an
      automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on
      lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force
      it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..)
      
      Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to
      delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies
      LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid
      the automount any more).
      
      But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting
      a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup.  Some other
      cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although
      LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well.
      
      This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though.  It also
      doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and
      was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on
      LOOKUP_FOLLOW.

      dm crypt: always disable discard_zeroes_data · 983c7db3

      If optional discard support in dm-crypt is enabled, discards requests

      For the read path, discarded blocks are handled the same as normal
      ciphertext blocks, thus decrypted.
      
      So if the underlying device announces discarded regions return zeroes,
      dm-crypt must disable this flag because after decryption there is just
      random noise instead of zeroes.
