A number of LTE devices from different vendors all suffer from the
same firmware bug: Most of the packets received from the device while
it is attached to a LTE network will not have an ethernet header. The
devices work as expected when attached to 2G or 3G networks, sending
an ethernet header with all packets.
This driver is not aware of which network the modem attached to, and
even if it were there are still some packet types which are always
received with the header intact.
All devices supported by this driver have severely limited
networking capabilities:
- can only transmit IPv4, IPv6 and possibly ARP
- can only support a single host hardware address at any time
- will only do point-to-point communcation with the host
Because of this, we are able to reliably identify any bogus raw IP
packets by simply looking at the 4 IP version bits. All we need to
do is to avoid 4 or 6 in the first digit of the mac address. This
workaround ensures this, and fix up the received packets as necessary.
Given the distribution of the bug, it is believed that the source is
the chipset vendor. The devices which are verified to be affected are:
Huawei E392u-12 (Qualcomm MDM9200)
Pantech UML290 (Qualcomm MDM9600)
Novatel USB551L (Qualcomm MDM9600)
Novatel E362 (Qualcomm MDM9600)
It is believed that the bug depend on firmware revision, which means
that possibly all devices based on the above mentioned chipset may be
affected if we consider all available firmware revisions.
The information about affected devices and versions is likely
incomplete. As the additional overhead for packets not needing this
fixup is very small, it is considered acceptable to apply the
workaround to all devices handled by this driver.

2. On enslave failure vlans are not cleaned up from the slave
3. On enslave failure the bond's primary and curr_active_slave
are not cleaned up (which might result in use of freed memory)
4. On enslave failure netpoll is not disabled which might result in

As reported by Dave Kleikamp, when we emit cross calls to do batched
TLB flush processing we have a race because we do not synchronize on
the sibling cpus completing the cross call.
So meanwhile the TLB batch can be reset (tb->tlb_nr set to zero, etc.)
and either flushes are missed or flushes will flush the wrong
addresses.
Fix this by using generic infrastructure to synchonize on the
completion of the cross call.
This first required getting the flush_tlb_pending() call out from
switch_to() which operates with locks held and interrupts disabled.
The problem is that smp_call_function_many() cannot be invoked with
IRQs disabled and this is explicitly checked for with WARN_ON_ONCE().
We get the batch processing outside of locked IRQ disabled sections by
using some ideas from the powerpc port. Namely, we only batch inside
of arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() calls. If we're not in such a
region, we flush TLBs synchronously.
1) Get rid of xcall_flush_tlb_pending and per-cpu type
implementations.
2) Do TLB batch cross calls instead via:
smp_call_function_many()
tlb_pending_func()
__flush_tlb_pending()
3) Batch only in lazy mmu sequences:
a) Add 'active' member to struct tlb_batch
b) Define __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE
c) Set 'active' in arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode()
d) Run batch and clear 'active' in arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()
e) Check 'active' in tlb_batch_add_one() and do a synchronous
flush if it's clear.
4) Add infrastructure for synchronous TLB page flushes.
a) Implement __flush_tlb_page and per-cpu variants, patch
as needed.
b) Likewise for xcall_flush_tlb_page.
c) Implement smp_flush_tlb_page() to invoke the cross-call.
d) Wire up global_flush_tlb_page() to the right routine based
upon CONFIG_SMP
5) It turns out that singleton batches are very common, 2 out of every
3 batch flushes have only a single entry in them.
The batch flush waiting is very expensive, both because of the poll
on sibling cpu completeion, as well as because passing the tlb batch
pointer to the sibling cpus invokes a shared memory dereference.
Therefore, in flush_tlb_pending(), if there is only one entry in
the batch perform a completely asynchronous global_flush_tlb_page()
instead.

cyc_to_sched_clock() is called by sched_clock() and cyc_to_ns()
is called by cyc_to_sched_clock(). I suspect that some compilers
inline both of these functions into sched_clock() and so we've
been getting away without having a notrace marking. It seems that
my compiler isn't inlining cyc_to_sched_clock() though, so I'm
hitting a recursion bug when I enable the function graph tracer,
causing my system to crash. Marking these functions notrace fixes
it. Technically cyc_to_ns() doesn't need the notrace because it's

(ecr 200 should be ecr 300 in packets 3 & 4)
Problem is tcp_ack() can trigger send of new packets (retransmits),
reflecting the prior TSval, instead of the TSval contained in the
currently processed incoming packet.
Fix this by calling tcp_replace_ts_recent() from tcp_ack() after the
checks, but before the actions.

The current mutex spinning code (with MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option
turned on) allow multiple tasks to spin on a single mutex
concurrently. A potential problem with the current approach is
that when the mutex becomes available, all the spinning tasks
will try to acquire the mutex more or less simultaneously. As a
result, there will be a lot of cacheline bouncing especially on
systems with a large number of CPUs.
This patch tries to reduce this kind of contention by putting
the mutex spinners into a queue so that only the first one in
the queue will try to acquire the mutex. This will reduce
contention and allow all the tasks to move forward faster.
The queuing of mutex spinners is done using an MCS lock based
implementation which will further reduce contention on the mutex
cacheline than a similar ticket spinlock based implementation.
This patch will add a new field into the mutex data structure
for holding the MCS lock. This expands the mutex size by 8 bytes
for 64-bit system and 4 bytes for 32-bit system. This overhead
will be avoid if the MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option is turned off.

At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%.
So they are not that interesting.
The fserver workload uses mutex spinning extensively. With just
the mutex change in the first patch, there is no noticeable
change in performance. Rather, there is a slight drop in
performance. This mutex spinning patch more than recovers the
lost performance and show a significant increase of +30% at high
user load with the full 8 nodes. Similar improvements were also
seen in a 3.8 kernel.
The table below shows the %time spent by different kernel
functions as reported by perf when running the fserver workload
at 1500 users with all 8 nodes.
+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
| Function | % time | % time | % time |

+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
| __read_lock_failed | 34.96% | 34.91% | 29.14% |

| __mutex_lock_slowpath | 1.46% | 0.81% | 0.14% |
| _raw_spin_lock | 2.25% | 2.50% | 1.10% |
+-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+
The fserver workload for an 8-node system is dominated by the
contention in the read/write lock. Mutex contention also plays a
role. With the first patch only, mutex contention is down (as
shown by the __mutex_lock_slowpath figure) which help a little
bit. We saw only a few percents improvement with that.
By applying patch 2 as well, the single mutex_spin_on_owner
figure is now split out into an additional mspin_lock figure.
The time increases from 3.42% to 11.23%. It shows a great
reduction in contention among the spinners leading to a 30%
improvement. The time ratio 9.9/2.33=4.3 indicates that there
are on average 4+ spinners waiting in the spin_lock loop for
each spinner in the mutex_spin_on_owner loop. Contention in
other locking functions also go down by quite a lot.
The table below shows the performance change of both patches 1 &
2 over patch 1 alone in other AIM7 workloads (at 8 nodes,
hyperthreading off).
+--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
| Workload | mean % change | mean % change | mean % change |
| | 10-100 users | 200-1000 users | 1100-2000 users |

| shared | -0.5% | -0.3% | -0.4% |
| short | -1.7% | -9.8% | -8.3% |
+--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
The short workload is the only one that shows a decline in
performance probably due to the spinner locking and queuing
overhead.

In the __mutex_lock_common() function, an initial entry into
the lock slow path will cause two atomic_xchg instructions to be
issued. Together with the atomic decrement in the fast path, a
total of three atomic read-modify-write instructions will be
issued in rapid succession. This can cause a lot of cache
bouncing when many tasks are trying to acquire the mutex at the
same time.
This patch will reduce the number of atomic_xchg instructions
used by checking the counter value first before issuing the
instruction. The atomic_read() function is just a simple memory
read. The atomic_xchg() function, on the other hand, can be up
to 2 order of magnitude or even more in cost when compared with
atomic_read(). By using atomic_read() to check the value first
before calling atomic_xchg(), we can avoid a lot of unnecessary
cache coherency traffic. The only downside with this change is
that a task on the slow path will have a tiny bit less chance of
getting the mutex when competing with another task in the fast
path.
The same is true for the atomic_cmpxchg() function in the
mutex-spin-on-owner loop. So an atomic_read() is also performed
before calling atomic_cmpxchg().
The mutex locking and unlocking code for the x86 architecture
can allow any negative number to be used in the mutex count to
indicate that some tasks are waiting for the mutex. I am not so
sure if that is the case for the other architectures. So the
default is to avoid atomic_xchg() if the count has already been
set to -1. For x86, the check is modified to include all
negative numbers to cover a larger case.

At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%.
So they are not that interesting.
AIM7 benchmark run has a pretty large run-to-run variance due to
random nature of the subtests executed. So a difference of less
than +-5% may not be really significant.
This patch improves high_systime workload performance at 4 nodes
and up by maintaining transaction rates without significant
drop-off at high node count. The patch has practically no
impact on 1 and 2 nodes system.
The table below shows the percentage time (as reported by perf
record -a -s -g) spent on the __mutex_lock_slowpath() function
by the high_systime workload at 1500 users for 2/4/8-node
configurations with hyperthreading off.
+---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+
| Configuration | %Time w/o patch | %Time with patch | %Change |
+---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+
| 8 nodes | 65.34% | 0.69% | -99% |
| 4 nodes | 8.70% | 1.02% | -88% |
| 2 nodes | 0.41% | 0.32% | -22% |
+---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+
It is obvious that the dramatic performance improvement at 8
nodes was due to the drastic cut in the time spent within the
__mutex_lock_slowpath() function.
The table below show the improvements in other AIM7 workloads
(at 8 nodes, hyperthreading off).

As mentioned by Ingo, the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN scheduler
feature bit was really just an early hack to make with/without
mutex-spinning testable. So it is no longer necessary.
This patch removes the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN feature bit and
move the mutex spinning code from kernel/sched/core.c back to
kernel/mutex.c which is where they should belong.

IN=br.qemu SRC=192.168.2.1 DST=192.168.2.255 [ .. ]
(netfilter bugzilla #814).
Problem is that network stack arranges for the locally generated broadcasts
to appear on the interface they were sent out, so the IFF_LOOPBACK check
doesn't trigger.
As -m rpfilter is restricted to PREROUTING, we can check for existing
rtable instead, it catches locally-generated broad/multicast case, too.

Since commit 6b923cb718 (bonding: support for IPv6 transmit hashing)
bonding doesn't properly hash traffic in forwarding setups.
Vitaly V. Bursov diagnosed that skb_network_header_len() returned 0 in
this case.
More generally, the transport header might not be in the skb head.
Use pskb_may_pull() & skb_header_pointer() to get it right, and use
proto_ports_offset() in bond_xmit_hash_policy_l34() to get support for
more protocols than TCP and UDP.

When loading after UNDI (e.g., Boot from SAN) the UNDI does not
gracefully yield its resources; The bnx2x driver handles that release
itself.
During the manipulation required to release those resources, it's possible
for the UNDI to try and write to memory regions which are no longer accessible,
causing the PCI bus to prevent further writes from the chip.
This would in turn cause DMAE timeouts later on in the driver, as the driver
will be unable to use the chip's DMA engines.
This patch prevents the chip from actually writing through the PCI bus
in said scenario, thus allowing the release without the unfortunate by-product.

The PF driver does not check if the administrator has already set a VF
VLAN via the PF driver before setting the new VLAN. This results in
the following scenario:
A) Administrator sets VF <n> to VLAN 100
B) Administrator sets VF <x> to VLAN 100
C) Administrator sets VF <n> to VLAN 200
D) The VF <n> driver continues to be able to receive traffic on VLAN
100 because the VLVFB pool enable bit for that VF was left set
instead of being cleared as it should be.
This fix ensures that the old VLAN filter for VF <n> is first removed
and the pool bit enable for VF <n> is cleared so that it no longer
receives traffic on VLAN 100.

This patch actually reverts:
igb: Support using build_skb in the case that jumbo frames are disabled
The reason for reverting this patch is that it can lead to data corruption.
The following flow was pointed out by Ben Hutchings:
1. skb is forwarded to another device
2. Packet headers are modified and it's put into a queue
3. Second packet is received into the other half of this page
4. Page cannot be reused, so is DMA-unmapped
5. The DMA mapping was non-coherent, so unmap copies or invalidates
cache
The headers added in step 2 get trashed in step 5.

The L1 data cache flush needs to be after highbank_set_cpu_jump call which
pollutes the cache with the l2x0_lock. This causes other cores to deadlock
waiting for the l2x0_lock. Moving the flush of the entire data cache after
highbank_set_cpu_jump fixes the problem. Use flush_cache_louis instead of
flush_cache_all are that is sufficient to flush only the L1 data cache.
flush_cache_louis did not exist when highbank_cpu_die was originally
written.
With PL310 errata 769419 enabled, a wmb is inserted into idle which takes
the l2x0_lock. This makes the problem much more easily hit and causes
reset to hang.

Fix a double locking bug caused when debug.kprobe-optimization=0.
While the proc_kprobes_optimization_handler locks kprobe_mutex,
wait_for_kprobe_optimizer locks it again and that causes a double lock.
To fix the bug, this introduces different mutex for protecting
sysctl parameter and locks it in proc_kprobes_optimization_handler.
Of course, since we need to lock kprobe_mutex when touching kprobes
resources, that is done in *optimize_all_kprobes().
This bug was introduced by commit ad72b3bea7 ("kprobes: fix
