I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the
same time.

It's because netlink_dump uses inet_diag_dump which belongs to module
inet_diag.

I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem.  We
need to add a reference to the module which the cb->dump belongs to.

Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric,Steffen and Pablo.

Change From v3:
change netlink_dump_start to inline,suggestion from Pablo and
Eric.

Change From v2:
delete netlink_dump_done,and call module_put in netlink_dump
and netlink_sock_destruct.

Pull UAPI disintegration fixes from David Howells:
 "There are three main parts:

 (1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64
     (some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems -
     mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some
     __KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64.

 (2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its
     asm/signal.h.  Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to
     remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead.

 (3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due
     to it lacking a kvm_para.h file.

     The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h
     and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if
     an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was*
     an asm-generic/ version.

     It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three
     headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header
     installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed
     asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs
     linux/kvm_para.h as well.

     Most arches actually have an asm/kvm_para.h, so this wasn't
     detectable in those."

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:

  Features:
   * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
     on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions).  PV
     console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
  Bug-fixes:
   * Fix compile linux-next fallout.
   * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.

  The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
  ARMv7 platforms.

  The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
  as much as possible.  That means use as little as possible of PV
  operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
  (network, block, console, etc).  This is similar to how PVHVM guests
  operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
  for QEMU.  The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
  drivers and infrastructure.

Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the
default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on
usable AoE addresses.  Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made
the old limitations too confining.

These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default,
removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses.

The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the
aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space

The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot)
address to identify a particular storage target.  These changes remove an
artificial limitation the aoe driver imposes on the use of AoE addresses.
For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15,
but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that.

The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely.  Instead of
using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor
number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand.

In the driver code, "target" and aoetgt refer to a particular remote
interface on the AoE storage target.  The latter is identified by its AoE
major and minor addresses.  Commands that are being sent to an AoE storage
target {major, minor} can be sent or retransmitted to any of the remote
MAC addresses associated with the AoE storage target.

That is, frames are naturally associated with not an aoetgt (AoE major,
AoE minor, remote MAC address) but an aoedev (AoE major, AoE minor).
Making the code reflect that reality simplifies the driver, especially
when the path to a remote MAC address becomes unusable.

A guard is inserted to prevent AoE minor addresses (slot addresses) higher
than 15 to be used, as they are not yet supported by the driver.

There is a change coming that will allow the aoe driver to overcome this
limit by using system device minor numbers dynamically, but until then,
this guard prevents unexpected targets from being used by the driver when
AoE targets with high minor numbers are on the AoE network.

The discovery process begins with an optional AoE config query command and
an AoE config query response.  Normally when an aoe device is already
open, the config query response does not trigger an ATA identify device
command to be sent out, since the response contains storage capacity
information that, if changed, could surprise the user of the device.

The userland "aoe-revalidate" tool uses a character device to trigger an
AoE config query for a particular AoE storage target and an ATA device
identify command, even when the device is open.

This change causes the config query to go out first, reflecting the normal
discovery sequence.  The responses could come back in any order, so this
change is fairly cosmetic.

The aoe_deadsecs module parameter allows the user to specify a hard limit
on the number of seconds an AoE command can be retransmitted before the
AoE block device is considered to have failed.

Using aoe_deadsecs to determine the time we try using a different remote
interface helps to ensure that the hard limit is not reached before we've
tried to recover by sending to a different remote port.

As a data storage target, the AoE target is unambiguously identified by
its {major, minor} AoE address tuple, and an AoE target can have multiple
MAC addresses.  However, note that "target" in the driver code and
comments means a {major, minor, MAC address} tuple, as in "somewhere to
send packets".

Users with several network interfaces dedicated to AoE generally do not
configure them to support different-sized AoE data payloads on purpose.

For a given AoE target, there will be a set of local network interfaces
that can reach it.  Using only the payload that will fit in the
smallest-sized MTU of all those local interfaces greatly simplifies the
driver, especially in failure scenarios.

To allow users to choose an elevator algorithm for their particular
workloads, change from a make_request-style driver to an
I/O-request-queue-handler-style driver.

We have to do a couple of things that might be surprising.  We manipulate
the page _count directly on the assumption that we still have no guarantee
that users of the block layer are prohibited from submitting bios
containing pages with zero reference counts.[1] If such a prohibition now
exists, I can get rid of the _count manipulation.

Just as before this patch, we still keep track of the sk_buffs that the
network layer still hasn't finished yet and cap the resources we use with
a "pool" of skbs.[2]

Now that the block layer maintains the disk stats, the aoe driver's
diskstats function can go away.

Make the frames the aoe driver uses to track the relationship between bios
and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an
"aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O.

The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of
preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and
degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure.

Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a
process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in
the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming
unusable.

tAdd adds the ability to work with large packets composed of a number of
segments, using the scatter gather feature of the block layer (biovecs)
and the network layer (skb frag array).  The motivation is the performance
gained by using a packet data payload greater than a page size and by
using the network card's scatter gather feature.

Users of the out-of-tree aoe driver already had these changes, but since
early 2011, they have complained of increased memory utilization and
higher CPU utilization during heavy writes.[1] The commit below appears
related, as it disables scatter gather on non-IP protocols inside the

send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client.  The client will then set the flag
in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards
for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD).

If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a
discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server.  When the
discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform:

	fallocate(.. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ..)

To punch a hole in the backend storage, which is no longer needed.

Add a set-flags ioctl, allowing various option flags to be set on an nbd
device.  This allows the nbd-client to set the device flags (to enable
read-only mode, or enable discard support, etc.).

Flags are typically specified by the nbd-server.  During the negotiation
phase of the nbd connection, the server sends its flags to the client.
The client then uses NBD_SET_FLAGS to inform the kernel of the options.

Also included is a one-line fix to debug output for the set-timeout ioctl.

Replace the single global destination ID counter with per-net allocation
mechanism to allow independent destID management for each available
RapidIO network.  Using bitmap based mechanism instead of counters allows
destination ID release and reuse in systems that support hot-swap.

Modify mport initialization routine to run the RapidIO discovery process
asynchronously.  This allows to have an arbitrary order of enumerating and
discovering ports in systems with multiple RapidIO controllers without
creating a deadlock situation if enumerator port is registered after a
discovering one.

Making netID matching to mportID ensures consistent net ID assignment in
multiport RapidIO systems with asynchronous discovery process (global
counter implementation is affected by race between threads).

Modify handling of device lists to resolve issues caused by using single
global list of RIO devices during enumeration/discovery.  The most common
sign of existing issue is incorrect contents of switch routing tables in
systems with multiple mport controllers while single-port configuration
performs as expected.

The following set of patches provides modifications targeting support of
multiple RapidIO master port (mport) devices on a CPU-side of
RapidIO-capable board.  While the RapidIO subsystem code has definitions
suitable for multi-controller/multi-net support, the existing
implementation cannot be considered ready for multiple mport
configurations.

=========== NOTES: =============

a) The patches below do not address RapidIO side view of multiport
   processing elements defined in Part 6 of RapidIO spec Rev.2.1 (section
   6.4.1).  These devices have Base Device ID CSR (0x60) and Component Tag
   CSR (0x6C) shared by all SRIO ports.  For example, Freescale's P4080,
   P3041 and P5020 have a dual-port SRIO controller implemented according
   the specification.  Enumeration/discovery of such devices from RapidIO
   side may require device-specific fixups.

b) Devices referenced above may also require implementation specific
   code to setup a host device ID for mport device.  These operations are
   not addressed by patches in this package.

=================================

Details about provided patches:

1. Fix blocking wait for discovery ready

   While it does not happen on PowerPC based platforms, there is
   possibility of stalled CPU warning dump on x86 based platforms that run
   RapidIO discovery process if they wait too long for being enumerated.

   Currently users can avoid it by disabling the soft-lockup detector
   using "nosoftlockup" kernel parameter OR by ensuring that enumeration
   is completed before soft-lockup is detected.

   This patch eliminates blocking wait and keeps a scheduler running.
   It also is required for patch 3 below which introduces asynchronous
   discovery process.

2. Use device lists handling on per-net basis

   This patch allows to correctly support multiple RapidIO nets and
   resolves possible issues caused by using single global list of devices
   during RapidIO system enumeration/discovery.  The most common sign of
   existing issue is incorrect contents of switch routing tables in
   systems with multiple mport controllers while single-port configuration
   performs as expected.

   The patch does not eliminate the global RapidIO device list but
   changes some routines in enumeration/discovery to use per-net device
   lists instead.  This way compatibility with upper layer RIO routines is
   preserved.

3.  Run discovery as an asynchronous process

   This patch modifies RapidIO initialization routine to asynchronously
   run the discovery process for each corresponding mport.  This allows
   having an arbitrary order of enumerating and discovering mports without
   creating a deadlock situation if an enumerator port was registered
   after a discovering one.

   On boards with multiple discovering mports it also eliminates order
   dependency between mports and may reduce total time of RapidIO
   subsystem initialization.

   Making netID matching to mportID ensures consistent netID assignment
   in multiport RapidIO systems with asynchronous discovery process
   (global counter implementation is affected by race between threads).

4. Rework RIONET to support multiple RIO master ports

   In the current version of the driver rionet_probe() has comment "XXX
   Make multi-net safe".  Now it is a good time to address this comment.

   This patch makes RIONET driver multi-net safe/capable by introducing
   per-net lists of RapidIO network peers.  It also enables to register
   network adapters for all available mport devices.

5. Add destination ID allocation mechanism

   The patch replaces a single global destination ID counter with
   per-net allocation mechanism to allow independent destID management for
   each available RapidIO network.  Using bitmap based mechanism instead
   of counters allows destination ID release and reuse in systems that
   support hot-swap.

This patch:

Fix blocking wait loop in the RapidIO discovery routine to avoid warning
dumps about stalled CPU on x86 platforms.
