After commit 1a288172 ("mlx4: use napi_complete_done()") we ended up

sunvnet: edge-case/race-conditions bug fixes

This patch series contains fixes for race-conditions in sunvnet,
that can encountered when there is a difference in latency between
producer and consumer.

Patch 1 addresses a case when the STOPPED LDC ack from a peer is
processed before vnet_start_xmit can finish updating the dr->prod
state.

Patch 2 fixes the edge-case when outgoing data and incoming
stopped-ack cross each other in flight.

Patch 3 adds a missing rcu_read_unlock(), found by code-inspection.

As per comments in vnet_start_xmit, for the edge case
when outgoing vnet_start_xmit() data and an incoming STOPPED
ACK cross each other in flight, we may need to send the missed

When vnet_start_xmit() is concurrent with vnet_ack(), we may
have a race that looks like:

    thread 1                              thread 2
    vnet_start_xmit                       vnet_event_napi -> vnet_rx

__vnet_tx_trigger for some desc X
at this point dr->prod == X
                                        peer sends back a stopped ack for X
                                        we process X, but X == dr->prod
                                        so we bail out in vnet_ack with
                                        !idx_is_pending
update dr->prod

As a result of the fact that we never processed the stopped ack for X,
the Tx path is led to incorrectly believe that the peer is still
"started" and reading, but the peer has stopped reading, which will
ultimately end in flow-control assertions.

The fix is to synchronize the above 2 paths  on the netif_tx_lock.

pull request: wireless-next 2014-11-07

Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.19 stream!

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"This relatively large batch of changes is comprised of the following:
 * large mac80211-hwsim changes from Ben, Jukka and a bit myself
 * OCB/WAVE/11p support from Rostislav on behalf of the Czech Technical
   University in Prague and Volkswagen Group Research
 * minstrel VHT work from Karl
 * more CSA work from Luca
 * WMM admission control support in mac80211 (myself)
 * various smaller fixes, spelling corrections, and minor API additions"

For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says:

"Here's the first bluetooth-next pull request for 3.19. The vast majority
of patches are for ieee802154 from Alexander Aring with various fixes
and cleanups. There are also several LE/SMP fixes as well as improved
support for handling LE devices that have lost their pairing information
(the patches from Alfonso). Jukka provides a couple of stability fixes
for 6lowpan and Szymon conformance fixes for RFCOMM. For the HCI drivers
we have one new USB ID for an Acer controller as well as a reset
handling fix for H5."

For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:

"Major changes are:

o ethtool support (Ben)

o print dev string prefix with debug hex buffers dump (Michal)

o debugfs file to read calibration data from the firmware verification
  purposes (me)

o fix fw_stats debugfs file, now results are more reliable (Michal)

o firmware crash counters via debugfs (Ben&me)

o various tracing points to debug firmware (Rajkumar)

o make it possible to provide firmware calibration data via a file (me)

And we have quite a lot of smaller fixes and clean up."

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"The big new thing here is netdetect which allows the
firmware to wake up the platform when a specific network
is detected. Along with that I have fixes for d3 operation.
The usual amount of rate scaling stuff - we now support STBC.
The other commit that stands out is Johannes's work on
devcoredump. He basically starts to use the standard
infrastructure he built."

Along with that are the usual sort of updates and such for ath9k,
brcmfmac, wil6210, and a handful of other bits here and there...

ipv4: Simplify raw_probe_proto_opt and avoid reading user iov twice

This series rewrites the function raw_probe_proto_opt in a more
readable fasion, and then fixes the long-standing bug where we
read the probed bytes twice which means that what we're using to
probe may in fact be invalid.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Ever since raw_probe_proto_opt was added it had the problem of
causing the user iov to be read twice, once during the probe for
the protocol header and once again in ip_append_data.

This is a potential security problem since it means that whatever
we're probing may be invalid.  This patch plugs the hole by
firstly advancing the iov so we don't read the same spot again,
and secondly saving what we read the first time around for use
by ip_append_data.

The function raw_probe_proto_opt tries to extract the first two
bytes from the user input in order to seed the IPsec lookup for
ICMP packets.  In doing so it's processing iovec by hand and

RDMA/cxgb4,cxgb4vf,cxgb4i,csiostor: Cleanup macros

This series moves the debugfs code to a new file debugfs.c and cleans up
macros/register defines.

Various patches have ended up changing the style of the symbolic macros/register
defines and some of them used the macros/register defines that matches the
output of the script from the hardware team.

As a result, the current kernel.org files are a mix of different macro styles.
Since this macro/register defines is used by five different drivers, a
few patch series have ended up adding duplicate macro/register define entries
with different styles. This makes these register define/macro files a complete
mess and we want to make them clean and consistent.

Will post few more series so that we can cover all the macros so that they all
follow the same style to be consistent.

The patches series is created against 'net-next' tree.
And includes patches on cxgb4, cxgb4vf, iw_cxgb4, csiostor and cxgb4i driver.

We have included all the maintainers of respective drivers. Kindly review the
change and let us know in case of any review comments.

To enable gro_flush_timeout, a driver has to use napi_complete_done()
instead of napi_complete().

Tested:
 Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues)

Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second.

GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet)

Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes
and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42)

Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up.
This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK
packets.

Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can
decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches
doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard.

Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting
goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal
latencies.

To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use :

ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44

But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to
50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when
a packet with TCP Push flag is received.

Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every
incoming packet.

This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do,
based on traffic pattern.

Packets with Push flag wont be delayed.
Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep
receiving data.

This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting
/sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond.

To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done()
instead of napi_complete().
