This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu(). Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.

Byte-swapping of the port and IP address passed in to the multicast driver by the user used to happen in different places, which was a bug in itself. The port also was swapped before being printk-ed, which led to a misleading message. This patch moves the port swapping to the same place as the IP address swapping.

If you tried to open a packet device first in read-only mode and then a second time in read-write mode, the second open succeeded even though the device was not correctly set up for writing. If you then tried to write data to the device, the writes would fail with I/O errors. This patch prevents that problem by making the second open fail with -EBUSY.

The recent change to add a timeout to strbuf flushing had a negative performance impact. The udelay()'s are too long, and they were done in the wrong order wrt. the register read checks. Fix both, and things are happy again. There are more possible improvements in this area. In fact, PCI streaming buffer flushing seems to be part of the bottleneck in network receive performance on my SunBlade1000 box. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

On ppc32, the platform code can supply a "progress" function that is used to show progress through the boot. These functions are usually in an init section and so can't be called after the init pages are freed. Now that the cpu bringup code can be called after the system is booted (for hotplug cpu) we can get the situation where the progress function can be called after boot. The simple fix is to set the progress function pointer to NULL when the init pages are freed, and that is what this patch does (note that all callers already check whether the function pointer is NULL before trying to call it).

In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only other reference to the skb. However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer accounting is disrupted. Signed-off-by: NTommy S.

This bug causes: assertion (!atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc)) failed at net/netlink/af_netlink.c (122) What's happening is that: 1) The skb is sent to socket 1. 2) Someone does a recvmsg on socket 1 and drops the ref on the skb. Note that the rmalloc is not returned at this point since the skb is still referenced. 3) The same skb is now sent to socket 2. This version of the fix resurrects the skb_orphan call that was moved out, last time we had 'shared-skb troubles'. It is practically a no-op in the common case, but still prevents the possible race with recvmsg. Signed-off-by: NTommy S.

Having frag_list members which holds wmem of an sk leads to nightmares with partially cloned frag skb's. The reason is that once you unleash a skb with a frag_list that has individual sk ownerships into the stack you can never undo those ownerships safely as they may have been cloned by things like netfilter. Since we have to undo them in order to make skb_linearize happy this approach leads to a dead-end. So let's go the other way and make this an invariant: For any skb on a frag_list, skb->sk must be NULL. That is, the socket ownership always belongs to the head skb. It turns out that the implementation is actually pretty simple. The above invariant is actually violated in the following patch for a short duration inside ip_fragment. This is OK because the offending frag_list member is either destroyed at the end of the slow path without being sent anywhere, or it is detached from the frag_list before being sent.

It looks like skb_cow_data() does not set proper owner for newly created skb. If we have several fragments for skb and some of them are shared(?) or cloned (like in async IPsec) there might be a situation when we require recreating skb and thus using skb_copy() for it. Newly created skb has neither a destructor nor a socket assotiated with it, which must be copied from the old skb. As far as I can see, current code sets destructor and socket for the first one skb only and uses truesize of the first skb only to increment sk_wmem_alloc value. If above "analysis" is correct then attached patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: NEvgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> Acked-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Even though we do software interrupt mitigation via NAPI, it still helps to have some minimal hw assisted mitigation. This helps, particularly, on systems where register I/O overhead is much greater than the CPU horsepower. For example, it helps on NUMA systems. In such cases the PIO overhead to disable interrupts for NAPI accounts for the majority of the packet processing cost. The CPU is fast enough such that only a single packet is processed by each NAPI poll call. Thanks to Michael Chan for reviewing this patch. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When supported, use the TAGGED interrupt processing support the chip provides. In this mode, instead of a "on/off" binary semaphore, an incrementing tag scheme is used to ACK interrupts. All MSI supporting chips support TAGGED mode, so the tg3_msi() interrupt handler uses it unconditionally. This invariant is verified when MSI support is tested. Since we can invoke tg3_poll() multiple times per interrupt under high packet load, we fetch a new copy of the tag value in the status block right before we actually do the work. Also, because the tagged status tells the chip exactly which work we have processed, we can make two optimizations: 1) tg3_restart_ints() need not check tg3_has_work() 2) the tg3_timer() need not poke the chip 10 times per second to keep from losing interrupt events Based upon valuable feedback from Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
