      ====================
      This feature patchset includes the following changes:
      
       - 6 patches adding functionality to detect a WiFi interface under
         other virtual interfaces, like VLANs. They introduce a cache for
         the detected the WiFi configuration to avoid RTNL locking in
         critical sections. Patches have been prepared by Marek Lindner
         and Sven Eckelmann
      
       - Enable automatic module loading for genl requests, by Sven Eckelmann
      
       - Fix a potential race condition on interface removal. This is not
         happening very often in practice, but requires bigger changes to fix,
         so we are sending this to net-next. By Linus Luessing

      netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int · c7d03a00
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.
      
      There are 2 reasons to do so:
      
      1)
      This field is really an index into an zero based array and
      thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
      access by definition.
      
      2)
      On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
      via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
      are preffered to signed 32-bit data.
      
      "int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
      to 64-bit before being used.
      
      	void f(long *p, int i)
      	{
      		g(p[i]);
      	}
      
        roughly translates to
      
      	movsx	rsi, esi
      	mov	rdi, [rsi+...]
      	call 	g
      
      MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
      unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.
      
      Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
      "int" as an array index:
      
      	static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
      	{
      		...
      		ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
      		...
      	}
      
      And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.
      
      Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
      messing with code generation):
      
      	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)
      
      Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
      This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
      allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
      needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
      prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
      used which is longer than [r8]
      
      However, overall balance is in negative direction:
      
      	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)
      	function                                     old     new   delta

      udp: enable busy polling for all sockets · e68b6e50
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      UDP busy polling is restricted to connected UDP sockets.
      
      This is because sk_busy_loop() only takes care of one NAPI context.
      
      There are cases where it could be extended.
      
      1) Some hosts receive traffic on a single NIC, with one RX queue.
      
      2) Some applications use SO_REUSEPORT and associated BPF filter
         to split the incoming traffic on one UDP socket per RX
      queue/thread/cpu
      
      3) Some UDP sockets are used to send/receive traffic for one flow, but
      they do not bother with connect()
      
      This patch records the napi_id of first received skb, giving more
      reach to busy polling.
      
      Tested:
      
      lpaa23:~# echo 70 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read
      lpaa24:~# echo 70 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read
      
      lpaa23:~# for f in `seq 1 10`; do ./super_netperf 1 -H lpaa24 -t UDP_RR -l 5; done

      Merge branch 'rds-ha-failover-fixes' · fcd2b0da

      ====================
      RDS: TCP: HA/Failover fixes
      
      This series contains a set of fixes for bugs exposed when
      we ran the following in a loop between a test machine pair:
      
       while (1); do
         # modprobe rds-tcp on test nodes
         # run rds-stress in bi-dir mode between test machine pair
         # modprobe -r rds-tcp on test nodes
       done
      
      rds-stress in bi-dir mode will cause both nodes to initiate
      RDS-TCP connections at almost the same instant, exposing the
      bugs fixed in this series.
      
      Without the fixes, rds-stress reports sporadic packet drops,
      and packets arriving out of sequence. After the fixes,we have
      been able to run the  test overnight, without any issues.
      
      Each patch has a detailed description of the root-cause fixed
      by the patch.
