Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom Herbert. 7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann. 9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John Fastabend. 10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander Duyck. 11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric Dumazet. 12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From Florian Westphal. 13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly faster.

The pending nested sleep debugging triggered on the potential stale TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in this code. While there, fix the loop such that we won't revert to a while(1) yield() 'spin' loop if we ever get a spurious wakeup. And fix the actual issue by properly terminating the 'wait' loop by setting TASK_RUNNING.

Similar to the stop_machine deadlock scenario on !PREEMPT kernels addressed in b22ce2785d97 "workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work item", kworker threads requeueing back-to-back with zero jiffy delay can stall RCU. The cond_resched call introduced in that fix will yield only iff there are other higher priority tasks to run, so force a quiescent RCU state between work items.

At first I thought it had to do with some of the changes I was working on, but then testing something else I realized that the bug was in 3.17 itself. I ran several bisects as the bug was not very reproducible, and finally came up with the commit that I could reproduce easily within a few minutes, and without the change I could run the tests over an hour without issue. The change fit the bug and I figured out a fix. That bad commit was: Commit 651e22f2701b "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page" This commit fixed a bug, but in the process created another one. It used the wrong value as the cached value that is used to see if things changed while an iterator was in use. This made it look like a change always happened, and could cause the iterator to go into an infinite loop" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.17-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Fix infinite spin in reading buffer
2014-10-03locking/lockdep: Revert qrwlock recusive stuffPeter Zijlstra
Commit f0bab73cb539 ("locking/lockdep: Restrict the use of recursive read_lock() with qrwlock") changed lockdep to try and conform to the qrwlock semantics which differ from the traditional rwlock semantics. In particular qrwlock is fair outside of interrupt context, but in interrupt context readers will ignore all fairness. The problem modeling this is that read and write side have different lock state (interrupts) semantics but we only have a single representation of these. Therefore lockdep will get confused, thinking the lock can cause interrupt lock inversions. So revert it for now; the old rwlock semantics were already imperfectly modeled and the qrwlock extra won't fit either. If we want to properly fix this, I think we need to resurrect the work by Gautham did a few years ago that split the read and write state of locks: http://lwn.net/Articles/332801/ FWIW the locking selftest that would've failed (and was reported by Borislav earlier) is something like: RL(X1); /* IRQ-ON */ LOCK(A); UNLOCK(A); RU(X1); IRQ_ENTER(); RL(X1); /* IN-IRQ */ RU(X1); IRQ_EXIT(); At which point it would report that because A is an IRQ-unsafe lock we can suffer the following inversion: CPU0 CPU1 lock(A) lock(X1) lock(A) <IRQ> lock(X1) And this is 'wrong' because X1 can recurse (assuming the above lock are in fact read-lock) but lockdep doesn't know about this.

However, a subsequent patch was added such that we directly check for sem->count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS right before trying that cmpxchg(). Thus, commit 9b0fc9c09f1b now just adds overhead. This patch modifies it so that we only do a check for if count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. Also, add a comment on why we do an "extra check" of count before the cmpxchg().

2014-10-03sched: Improve sysbench performance by fixing spurious active migrationVincent Guittot
Since commit caeb178c60f4 ("sched/fair: Make update_sd_pick_busiest() ...") sd_pick_busiest returns a group that can be neither imbalanced nor overloaded but is only more loaded than others. This change has been introduced to ensure a better load balance in system that are not overloaded but as a side effect, it can also generate useless active migration between groups. Let take the example of 3 tasks on a quad cores system. We will always have an idle core so the load balance will find a busiest group (core) whenever an ILB is triggered and it will force an active migration (once above nr_balance_failed threshold) so the idle core becomes busy but another core will become idle. With the next ILB, the freshly idle core will try to pull the task of a busy CPU. The number of spurious active migration is not so huge in quad core system because the ILB is not triggered so much. But it becomes significant as soon as you have more than one sched_domain level like on a dual cluster of quad cores where the ILB is triggered every tick when you have more than 1 busy_cpu We need to ensure that the migration generate a real improveùent and will not only move the avg_load imbalance on another CPU. Before caeb178c60f4f93f1b45c0bc056b5cf6d217b67f, the filtering of such use case was ensured by the following test in f_b_g: if ((local->idle_cpus < busiest->idle_cpus) && busiest->sum_nr_running <= busiest->group_weight) This patch modified the condition to take into account situation where busiest group is not overloaded: If the diff between the number of idle cpus in 2 groups is less than or equal to 1 and the busiest group is not overloaded, moving a task will not improve the load balance but just move it. A test with sysbench on a dual clusters of quad cores gives the following results: command: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=5 --max-time=5 run The HZ is 200 which means that 1000 ticks has fired during the test. With Mainline, perf gives the following figures: Samples: 727 of event 'sched:sched_migrate_task' Event count (approx.): 727 Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol ........ ............... ............. .............. 12.52% migration/1 [unknown] [.] 00000000 12.52% migration/5 [unknown] [.] 00000000 12.52% migration/7 [unknown] [.] 00000000 12.10% migration/6 [unknown] [.] 00000000 11.83% migration/0 [unknown] [.] 00000000 11.83% migration/3 [unknown] [.] 00000000 11.14% migration/4 [unknown] [.] 00000000 10.87% migration/2 [unknown] [.] 00000000 2.75% sysbench [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.83% swapper [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.55% ktps65090charge [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.41% mmcqd/1 [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.14% perf [unknown] [.] 00000000 With this patch, perf gives the following figures Samples: 20 of event 'sched:sched_migrate_task' Event count (approx.): 20 Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol ........ ............... ............. .............. 80.00% sysbench [unknown] [.] 00000000 10.00% swapper [unknown] [.] 00000000 5.00% ktps65090charge [unknown] [.] 00000000 5.00% migration/1 [unknown] [.] 00000000 Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1412170735-5356-1-git-send-email-vincent.guittot@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2014-10-02ring-buffer: Fix infinite spin in reading bufferSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Commit 651e22f2701b "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page" fixed one bug but in the process caused another one. The reset is to update the header page, but that fix also changed the way the cached reads were updated. The cache reads are used to test if an iterator needs to be updated or not. A ring buffer iterator, when created, disables writes to the ring buffer but does not stop other readers or consuming reads from happening. Although all readers are synchronized via a lock, they are only synchronized when in the ring buffer functions. Those functions may be called by any number of readers. The iterator continues down when its not interrupted by a consuming reader. If a consuming read occurs, the iterator starts from the beginning of the buffer. The way the iterator sees that a consuming read has happened since its last read is by checking the reader "cache". The cache holds the last counts of the read and the reader page itself. Commit 651e22f2701b changed what was saved by the cache_read when the rb_iter_reset() occurred, making the iterator never match the cache. Then if the iterator calls rb_iter_reset(), it will go into an infinite loop by checking if the cache doesn't match, doing the reset and retrying, just to see that the cache still doesn't match! Which should never happen as the reset is suppose to set the cache to the current value and there's locks that keep a consuming reader from having access to the data.

2014-10-01bpf: add search pruning optimization to verifierAlexei Starovoitov
consider C program represented in eBPF: int filter(int arg) { int a, b, c, *ptr; if (arg == 1) ptr = &a; else if (arg == 2) ptr = &b; else ptr = &c; *ptr = 0; return 0; } eBPF verifier has to follow all possible paths through the program to recognize that '*ptr = 0' instruction would be safe to execute in all situations. It's doing it by picking a path towards the end and observes changes to registers and stack at every insn until it reaches bpf_exit. Then it comes back to one of the previous branches and goes towards the end again with potentially different values in registers. When program has a lot of branches, the number of possible combinations of branches is huge, so verifer has a hard limit of walking no more than 32k instructions. This limit can be reached and complex (but valid) programs could be rejected. Therefore it's important to recognize equivalent verifier states to prune this depth first search. Basic idea can be illustrated by the program (where .. are some eBPF insns): 1: .. 2: if (rX == rY) goto 4 3: .. 4: .. 5: .. 6: bpf_exit In the first pass towards bpf_exit the verifier will walk insns: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Since insn#2 is a branch the verifier will remember its state in verifier stack to come back to it later. Since insn#4 is marked as 'branch target', the verifier will remember its state in explored_states[4] linked list. Once it reaches insn#6 successfully it will pop the state recorded at insn#2 and will continue. Without search pruning optimization verifier would have to walk 4, 5, 6 again, effectively simulating execution of insns 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 With search pruning it will check whether state at #4 after jumping from #2 is equivalent to one recorded in explored_states[4] during first pass. If there is an equivalent state, verifier can prune the search at #4 and declare this path to be safe as well. In other words two states at #4 are equivalent if execution of 1, 2, 3, 4 insns and 1, 2, 4 insns produces equivalent registers and stack.

2014-09-30PM / hibernate: Iterate over set bits instead of PFNs in swsusp_free()Joerg Roedel
The existing implementation of swsusp_free iterates over all pfns in the system and checks every bit in the two memory bitmaps. This doesn't scale very well with large numbers of pfns, especially when the bitmaps are not populated very densly. Change the algorithm to iterate over the set bits in the bitmaps instead to make it scale better in large memory configurations. Also add a memory_bm_clear_current() helper function that clears the bit for the last position returned from the memory bitmap. This new version adds a !NULL check for the memory bitmaps before they are walked. Not doing so causes a kernel crash when the bitmaps are NULL.

2014-09-30ACPI / sleep: Rework the handling of ACPI GPE wakeup from suspend-to-idleRafael J. Wysocki
The ACPI GPE wakeup from suspend-to-idle is currently based on using the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag for the ACPI SCI, but that is problematic for a couple of reasons. First, in principle the ACPI SCI may be shared and IRQF_NO_SUSPEND does not really work well with shared interrupts. Second, it may require the ACPI subsystem to special-case the handling of device notifications depending on whether or not they are received during suspend-to-idle in some places which would lead to fragile code. Finally, it's better the handle ACPI wakeup interrupts consistently with wakeup interrupts from other sources. For this reason, remove the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag from the ACPI SCI and use enable_irq_wake()/disable_irq_wake() with it instead, which requires two additional platform hooks to be added to struct platform_freeze_ops.
