cpu_relax() is documented in volatile-considered-harmful.txt to be a
memory barrier.  However, everyone with the exception of Blackfin and
possibly ia64 defines cpu_relax() to be a compiler barrier.

Make the documentation reflect the general concensus.

Linus sayeth:

: I don't think it was ever the intention that it would be seen as anything
: but a compiler barrier, although it is obviously implied that it might
: well perform some per-architecture actions that have "memory barrier-like"
: semantics.
:
: After all, the whole and only point of the "cpu_relax()" thing is to tell
: the CPU that we're busy-looping on some event.
:
: And that "event" might be (and often is) about reading the same memory
: location over and over until it changes to what we want it to be.  So it's
: quite possible that on various architectures the "cpu_relax()" could be
: about making sure that such a tight loop on loads doesn't starve cache
: transactions, for example - and as such look a bit like a memory barrier
: from a CPU standpoint.
:
: But it's not meant to have any kind of architectural memory ordering
: semantics as far as the kernel is concerned - those must come from other
: sources.

I chased down a fail on ppc64 on 2.6.34-rc2 where an application that
uses shared memory was getting a SEGV.

Commit baed7fc9 ("Add generic sys_ipc
wrapper") changed the second argument from an unsigned long to an int.
When we call shmget the system call wrappers for sys_ipc will sign
extend second (ie the size) which truncates it.  It took a while to
track down because the call succeeds and strace shows the untruncated
size :)

The patch below changes second from an int to an unsigned long which
fixes shmget on ppc64 (and I assume s390, sparc64 and mips64).

I assume the function prototypes for the other IPC methods would cause us
to sign or zero extend second where appropriate (avoiding any security
issues). Come to think of it, the syscall wrappers for each method should do
that for us as well.

TCP sessions over IPv4 can get stuck if routers between endpoints
do not fragment packets but implement PMTU instead, and we are using
those routers because of an ICMP redirect.

Setup is as follows

       MTU1    MTU2   MTU1
    A--------B------C------D

with MTU1 > MTU2. A and D are endpoints, B and C are routers. B and C
implement PMTU and drop packets larger than MTU2 (for example because
DF is set on all packets). TCP sessions are initiated between A and D.
There is packet loss between A and D, causing frequent TCP
retransmits.

After the number of retransmits on a TCP session reaches tcp_retries1,
tcp calls dst_negative_advice() prior to each retransmit. This results
in route cache entries for the peer to be deleted in
ipv4_negative_advice() if the Path MTU is set.

If the outstanding data on an affected TCP session is larger than
MTU2, packets sent from the endpoints will be dropped by B or C, and
ICMP NEEDFRAG will be returned. A and D receive NEEDFRAG messages and
update PMTU.

Before the next retransmit, tcp will again call dst_negative_advice(),
causing the route cache entry (with correct PMTU) to be deleted. The
retransmitted packet will be larger than MTU2, causing it to be
dropped again.

This sequence repeats until the TCP session aborts or is terminated.

Problem is fixed by removing redirected route cache entries in
ipv4_negative_advice() only if the PMTU is expired.

Some of the debug files ended up wrongly in sysfs, because at that point
of time, debugfs didn't exist. Convert these files to use debugfs and

Signed-off-by: NMarcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

When creating a high number of Bluetooth sockets (L2CAP, SCO
and RFCOMM) it is possible to scribble repeatedly on arbitrary
pages of memory. Ensure that the content of these sysfs files is
always less than one page. Even if this means truncating. The
files in question are scheduled to be moved over to debugfs in
the future anyway.

Currently, ENOBUFS errors are reported to the socket via

that should not happen. This fixes this problem and it changes the

have set the NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS socket option. This return
value is used in the next patch in these bugfix series.

Under NET_DMA, data transfer can grind to a halt when userland issues a
large read on a socket with a high RCVLOWAT (i.e., 512 KB for both).
This appears to be because the NET_DMA design queues up lots of memcpy
operations, but doesn't issue or wait for them (and thus free the
associated skbs) until it is time for tcp_recvmesg() to return.
The socket hangs when its TCP window goes to zero before enough data is
available to satisfy the read.

Periodically issue asynchronous memcpy operations, and free skbs for ones
that have completed, to prevent sockets from going into zero-window mode.
