__napi_schedule might raise softirq but nothing causes do_softirq to trigger, so it does not in fact run. As a result, the error message "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" sometimes occurs during boot of a KVM guest when the network service is started and we are oom: ... Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0...NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 done. [ OK ] ... Further, receive queue processing might get delayed indefinitely until some interrupt triggers: virtio_net expected napi to be run immediately. One way to cause do_softirq to be executed is by invoking local_bh_enable(). As __napi_schedule is normally called from bh or irq context, this seems to make sense: disable bh before __napi_schedule and enable afterwards. In fact it's a very complicated way of calling do_softirq(), and works since this function is only used when we are not in interrupt context. It's not hot at all, in any ideal scenario.

When the balloon module is removed, we deflate the balloon, reclaiming all the pages that were given to the host. However, we don't update the config values for the new balloon size, resulting in the host showing outdated balloon values. The size update is done after each leak and fill operation, only the module removal case was left out. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

If a port was open before going into one of the sleep states, the port can continue normal operation after restore. However, the host has to be told that the guest side of the connection is open to restore pre-suspend state. This wasn't noticed so far due to a bug in qemu that was fixed recently (which marked the guest-side connection as always open).

Use del_timer_sync to remove timer before mddev_suspend finishes. We don't want a timer going off after an mddev_suspend is called. This is especially true with device-mapper, since it can call the destructor function immediately following a suspend. This results in the removal (kfree) of the structures upon which the timer depends - resulting in a very ugly panic. Therefore, we add a del_timer_sync to mddev_suspend to prevent this.

raid10 stores dev_sectors in 'conf' separately from the one in 'mddev' because it can have a very significant effect on block addressing and so need to be updated carefully. However raid10_resize isn't updating it at all! To update it correctly, we need to make sure it is a proper multiple of the chunksize taking various details of the layout in to account. This calculation is currently done in setup_conf. So split it out from there and call it from raid10_resize as well. Then set conf->dev_sectors properly. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Pull networking tree from David Miller: 1) ptp_pch driver build broke during this merge window due to missing slab.h header, fix from Geery Uytterhoeven. 2) If ipset passes in a bogus hash table size we crash because the size is not validated properly. Compounding this, gcc-4.7 can miscompile ipset such that even when the user specifies legitimate parameters the tool passes in an out-of-range size to the kernel. Fix from Jozsef Kadlecsik. 3) Users have reported that the netdev watchdog can trigger with pch_gbe devices, and it turns out this is happening because of races in the TX path of the driver leading to the transmitter hanging. Fix from Eric Dumazet, reported and tested by Andy Cress. 4) Novatel USB551L devices match the generic class entries for the cdc ethernet USB driver, but they don't work because they have generic descriptors and thus need FLAG_WWAN to function properly. Add the necessary ID table entry to fix this, from Dan Williams. 5) A recursive locking fix in the USBNET driver added a new problem, in that packet list traversal is now racy and we can thus access unlinked SKBs and crash. Avoid this situation by adding some extra state tracking, from Ming Lei. 6) The rtlwifi conversion to asynchronous firmware loading is racy, fix by reordering the probe procedure. From Larry Finger. Fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43187 7) Fix regressions with bluetooth keyboards by notifying userland properly when the security level changes, from Gustavo Padovan. 8) Bluetooth needs to make sure device connected events are emitted before other kinds of events, otherwise userspace will think there is no baseband link yet and therefore abort the sockets associated with that connection. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: netfilter: ipset: fix hash size checking in kernel ptp_pch: Add missing #include <linux/slab.h> pch_gbe: fix transmit races cdc_ether: add Novatel USB551L device IDs for FLAG_WWAN usbnet: fix skb traversing races during unlink(v2) Bluetooth: mgmt: Fix device_connected sending order Bluetooth: notify userspace of security level change rtlwifi: fix for race condition when firmware is cached

First, we were at risk of handling thread-info flags, in particular do_signal(), when returning from kernel space. This could happen after a failed kernel_execve(), or when forking a kernel thread. The fix is to test in do_work_pending() for user_mode() and return immediately if so; we already had this test for one of the flags, so I just hoisted it to the top of the function. Second, if a ptraced process updated the callee-saved registers in the ptregs struct and then processed another thread-info flag, we would overwrite the modifications with the original callee-saved registers. To fix this, we add a register to note if we've already saved the registers once, and skip doing it on additional passes through the loop. To avoid a performance hit from the couple of extra instructions involved, I modified the GET_THREAD_INFO() macro to be guaranteed to be one instruction, then bundled it with adjacent instructions, yielding an overall net savings.

When handling the H_BULK_REMOVE hypercall, we were forgetting to invalidate and unlock the hashed page table entry (HPTE) in the case where the page had been paged out. This fixes it by clearing the first doubleword of the HPTE in that case. This fixes a regression introduced in commit a92bce95 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Keep HPTE locked when invalidating").

When jumping back into the kernel to code that knows that it would be using HSRR registers instead of SRR registers, we need to make sure we pass it all information on where to jump to in HSRR registers. Unfortunately, we used r10 to store the information to distinguish between the HSRR and SRR case. That register got clobbered in between though, rendering the later comparison invalid. Instead, let's use cr1 to store this information. That way we don't need yet another register and everyone's happy. This fixes PR KVM on POWER7 bare metal for me.

When running on a system that is HV capable, some interrupts use HSRR SPRs instead of the normal SRR SPRs. These are also used in the Linux handlers to jump back to code after an interrupt got processed. Unfortunately, in our "jump back to the real host handler after we've done the context switch" code, we were only setting the SRR SPRs, rendering Linux to jump back to some invalid IP after it's processed the interrupt. This fixes random crashes on p7 opal mode with PR KVM for me. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

In addition to normal "priviledged instruction" traps, we can also receive "emulation assist" traps on newer hardware that has the HV bit set. Handle that one the same way as a privileged instruction, including the instruction fetching. That way we don't execute old instructions that we happen to still leave in that field when an emul assist trap comes. This fixes -M mac99 / -M g3beige on p7 bare metal for me.

John Linville says: Here are three more fixes that some of my developers are desperate to see included in 3.4... Johan Hedberg went to some length justifyng the inclusion of these two Bluetooth fixes: "The device_connected fix should be quite self-explanatory, but it's actually a wider issue than just for keyboards. All profiles that do incoming connection authorization (e.g. headsets) will break without it with specific hardware. The reason it wasn't caught earlier is that it only occurs with specific Bluetooth adapters. As for the security level patch, this fixes L2CAP socket based security level elevation during a connection. The HID profile needs this (for keyboards) and it is the only way to achieve the security level elevation when using the management interface to talk to the kernel (hence the management enabling patch being the one that exposes this" The rtlwifi fix addresses a regression related to firmware loading, as described in kernel.org bug 43187.

Andy reported pch_gbe triggered "NETDEV WATCHDOG" errors. May 11 11:06:09 kontron kernel: WARNING: at net/sched/sch_generic.c:261 dev_watchdog+0x1ec/0x200() (Not tainted) May 11 11:06:09 kontron kernel: Hardware name: N/A May 11 11:06:09 kontron kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (pch_gbe): transmit queue 0 timed out It seems pch_gbe has a racy tx path (races with TX completion path) Remove tx_queue_lock lock since it has no purpose, we must use tx_lock instead.

Needs to be tagged with FLAG_WWAN, which since it has generic descriptors, won't happen if we don't override the generic driver info.

Commit 4231d47e(net/usbnet: avoid recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may cause skb traversing races: - after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released, the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue, even be released - in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained by next pointer of the last skb - so maybe trigger oops or other problems This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink' state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs. The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch: always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.
