      appletalk: remove the BKL · 60d9f461
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      This changes appletalk to use lock_sock instead of
      lock_kernel for serialization. I tried to make sure
      that we don't hold the socket lock during sleeping
      functions, but I did not try to prove whether the
      locks are necessary in the first place.
      
      Compile-tested only.

      This reverts commit a6238f21
      
      Appletalk got some patches to fix up the BLK usage in it in the
      network tree, so this removal isn't needed.

      appletalk: move to staging · a6238f21
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      For all I know, Appletalk is dead, the only reasonable
      use right now would be nostalgia, and that can be served
      well enough by old kernels. The code is largely not
      in a bad shape, but it still uses the big kernel lock,
      and nobody seems motivated to change that.
      
      FWIW, the last release of MacOS that supported Appletalk
      was MacOS X 10.5, made in 2007, and it has been abandoned
      by Apple with 10.6. Using TCP/IP instead of Appletalk has
      been supported since MacOS 7.6, which was released in
      1997 and is able to run on most of the legacy hardware.

      BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL. · 6de5bd12
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a
      few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even
      there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do
      about them, this patch illustrates one of the options:
      
      Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig,
      and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets
      disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL
      code itself is compiled out.
      
      The one exception is file locking, which is practically always
      enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces
      CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd
      mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c.

      drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s · a4b77097
      Joe Perches 提交于
      This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
      return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
      void functions.
      
      It does not remove the returns that are immediately
      preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.
      
      It also does not remove null void functions with return.
      
      Done via:
      $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
        xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'
      
      with some cleanups by hand.
      
      Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit() · 93f154b5
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
      when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
      dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).
      
      CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
      quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
      since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.
      
      It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
      devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.
      
      David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
      (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
      which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().
      
      List of devices that must clear this flag is :
      
      - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
          "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
           already need to have a dst_entry attached."
      - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function
      
      - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
      (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

      netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-1 · 454d7c9b
      Wang Chen 提交于
      We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
      1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
      2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
         netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
      But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
      directly.
      
      This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
      Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
      But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
      I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
      which is max size allowed by vger.
