Commit 1f71e8c9 ("drivers: net: cpsw: Add support for fixed-link PHY") did not parse the "phy-mode" property in the case of a fixed-link PHY, leaving slave_data->phy_if with its default of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA(0). This later gets passed to phy_connect() in cpsw_slave_open(), and eventually to cpsw_phy_sel() where it hits a default case that configures the MAC for MII mode. The user visible symptom is that while kernel log messages seem to indicate that the interface is set up, there is no network communication. Eventually a watchdog error occurs: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (cpsw): transmit queue 0 timed out Fixes: 1f71e8c9 ("drivers: net: cpsw: Add support for fixed-link PHY") Signed-off-by: NDavid Rivshin <drivshin@allworx.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

As noted here [1], there are potentially future conflicts if we try to use MTD's "partitions" subnode to describe anything besides just the fixed-in-the-device-tree partitions currently described in this document. Particularly, there was a proposal to use this node for the AFS parser too. It can pose a (small) problem to try to differentiate the following nodes: // using binding as currently specified partitions { #address-cells = <x>; #size-cells = <y>; partition@0 { ...; }; }; and // proposed future binding partitions { compatible = "arm,arm-flash-structure"; }; It's especially difficult if other uses of this node start having subnodes. So, since the "partitions" node is new in v4.4, let's fixup the binding before release so that it requires a compatible property, so it's much clearer to distinguish. e.g.: // proposed partitions { compatible = "fixed-partitions"; #address-cells = <x>; #size-cells = <y>; partition@0 { ...; }; }; [1] Subject: "mtd: create a partition type device tree binding" http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20151113220039.GA74382@google.com http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2015-November/063355.html http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2015-November/063364.html Cc: Michal Suchanek <hramrach@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NBrian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Acked-by: NRob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

Since Armada 38x SoC can support IP checksum for jumbo frames only on a single port, it means that this feature should be enabled per-port, rather than for the whole SoC. This patch enables setting custom TX IP checksum limit by adding new optional property to the mvneta device tree node. If not used, by default 1600B is set for "marvell,armada-370-neta" and 9800B for other strings, which ensures backward compatibility. Binding documentation is updated accordingly.

Currently kernel crash randomly when K2L EVM is booted without clk_ignore_unused in the bootargs. This workaround is not needed on other K2 devices such as K2HK and K2E and with this fix, we can remove the workaround altogether. netcp driver on K2L uses linked ram on OSR (On chip Static RAM) and requires the clock to this peripheral enabled for proper functioning. This is the reason for the kernel crash. So add the clock node to fix this issue. While at it, remove the workaround documentation as well. With the fix applied, clk_summary dump shows the clock to OSR enabled. cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary ------cut-------------- tcp3d-1 0 0 399360000 0 0 tcp3d-0 0 0 399360000 0 0 osr 1 1 399360000 0 0 fftc-0 0 0 399360000 0 0 -----cut---------------- Signed-off-by: NMurali Karicheri <m-karicheri2@ti.com> Signed-off-by: NSantosh Shilimkar <ssantosh@kernel.org>

In order to allow panic actions to be processed, the ipmi watchdog driver sets a new timeout value on panic. The 255s timeout was designed to allow kdump and others actions on panic, as in http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0711.3/0258.html This is counter-intuitive for a end-user who sets watchdog timeout value to something like 30s and who expects BMC to reset the system within 30s of a panic.

Change st driver to allow enabling or disabling debug output via sysfs file /sys/bus/scsi/drivers/st/debug_flag. Previously the only way to enable debug output was: 1. loading the driver with the module parameter debug_flag=1 2. an ioctl call (this method was also the only way to dynamically disable debug output). To use the ioctl you need a second tape drive (if you are actively testing the first tape drive) since a second process cannot open the first tape drive if it is in use. The this change is only functional if the value of the macro DEBUG in st.c is a non-zero value (which it is by default).

This change turns the UFS variant (SCSI_UFS_QCOM) into a UFS a platform device. In order to do so a few additional changes are required: 1. The ufshcd-pltfrm is no longer serves as a platform device. Now it only serves as a group of platform APIs such as PM APIs (runtime suspend/resume, system suspend/resume etc), parsers of clocks, regulators and pm_levels from DT. 2. What used to be the old platform "probe" is now "only" a pltfrm_init() routine, that does exactly the same, but only being called by the new probe function of the UFS variant.

Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings. This is desirable because DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very large. Update the coredump_filter documentation in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX coredump flags. Also update the documented default value of coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page. The documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the kernel config. This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF binaries and coredump are enabled.

Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some context. There's one example: CPU0 CPU1 isolate_migratepages_block() page_count() compound_head() !!PageTail() == true put_page() tail->first_page = NULL head = tail->first_page alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP) prep_compound_page() tail->first_page = head __SetPageTail(p); !!PageTail() == true <head == NULL dereferencing> The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in practice. But who knows. We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head() within struct page to be able to update them in one shot. The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set. The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0 set. hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is removed from the union. The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch. That means page->compound_head shares storage space with: - page->lru.next; - page->next; - page->rcu_head.next; That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses bit 0 of the word. page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can get false positive PageTail().

由 Mel Gorman 提交于
mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

It's recommended to have slub's user tracking enabled with CONFIG_KASAN, because: a) User tracking disables slab merging which improves detecting out-of-bounds accesses. b) User tracking metadata acts as redzone which also improves detecting out-of-bounds accesses. c) User tracking provides additional information about object. This information helps to understand bugs. Currently it is not enabled by default. Besides recompiling the kernel with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline, which is not very handy. Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good reason to not do this.
