Fix a regression due to the patch "NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4 requests over TCP" The assumption made in xprt_transmit() that the condition "req->rq_bytes_sent == 0 and request is on the receive list" should imply that we're dealing with a retransmission is false. Firstly, it may simply happen that the socket send queue was full at the time the request was initially sent through xprt_transmit(). Secondly, doing this for each request that was retransmitted implies that we disconnect and reconnect for _every_ request that happened to be retransmitted irrespective of whether or not a disconnection has already occurred. Fix is to move this logic into the call_status request timeout handler. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Redirtying a request that is already marked for commit will screw up the accounting for NR_UNSTABLE_NFS as well as nfs_i.ncommit. Ensure that all requests on the commit queue are labelled with the PG_NEED_COMMIT flag, and avoid moving them onto the dirty list inside nfs_page_mark_flush(). Also inline nfs_mark_request_dirty() into nfs_page_mark_flush() for atomicity reasons. Avoid dropping the spinlock until we're done marking the request in the radix tree and have added it to the ->dirty list.

We have a 10-15% performance regression for sequential writes on TCQ/NCQ enabled drives in 2.6.21-rcX after the CFQ update went in. It has been reported by Valerie Clement <valerie.clement@bull.net> and the Intel testing folks. The regression is because of CFQ's now more aggressive queue control, limiting the depth available to the device. This patches fixes that regression by allowing a greater depth when only one queue is busy. It has been tested to not impact sync-vs-async workloads too much - we still do a lot better than 2.6.20.

I've traced down an off-by-one TCP checksum calculation error under the following conditions: 1) The TCP code needs to split a full-sized packet due to a reduced MSS (typically due to the addition of TCP options mid-stream like SACK). _AND_ 2) The checksum of the 2nd fragment is larger than the checksum of the original packet. After subtraction this results in a checksum for the 1st fragment with bits 16..31 set to 1. (this is ok) _AND_ 3) The checksum of the 1st fragment's TCP header plus the previously 32bit checksum of the 1st fragment DOES NOT cause a 32bit overflow when added together. This results in a checksum of the TCP header plus TCP data that still has the upper 16 bits as 1's. _THEN_ 4) The TCP+data checksum is added to the checksum of the pseudo IP header with csum_tcpudp_nofold() incorrectly (the bug). The problem is the checksum of the TCP+data is passed to csum_tcpudp_nofold() as an 32bit unsigned value, however the assembly code acts on it as if it is a 64bit unsigned value. This causes an incorrect 32->64bit extension if the sum has bit 31 set. The resulting checksum is off by one. This problems is data and TCP header dependent due to #2 and #3 above so it doesn't occur on every TCP packet split.

If these function failed due to "in_atomic" test in do_page_fault, touch the sigcontext area in non-atomic context and retry these save/restore operation.

This reverts commit 60cba200. It's been linked to lockups of the e1000 hardware, see for example https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229603 but it's likely that the commit itself is not really introducing the bug, but just allowing an unrelated problem to rear its ugly head (ie one current working theory is that the code exposes us to a hardware race condition by decreasing the amount of time we spend in each NAPI poll cycle). We'll revert it until root cause is known. Intel has a repeatable reproduction on two different machines and bus traces of the hardware doing something bad.

The Yukon EC Ultra chips have transmit settings for store and forward and PCI buffering. By setting these appropriately, normal performance goes from 750Mbytes/sec to 940Mbytes/sec (non-jumbo). It is also possible to do Jumbo mode, but it means turning off TSO and checksum offload so the performance gets worse. There isn't enough buffering for checksum offload to work.

The basic structure of "normal" UDP/IP/Ethernet frames (that actually work): - It starts with the Ethernet header (dest MAC, src MAC, etc.) - The next part is occupied by the IP header (version info, length of packet, id=0, fragment offset=0, checksum, from / to address, etc.) - Then comes the UDP header (src / dest port, length, checksum) - Actual payload - Ethernet checksum Now what's different for IP fragment: - The IP header has id set to some value (same for all fragments), offset is set appropriately (i.e. 0 for first fragment, following according to size of other fragments), size is the length of the frame. - UDP header is unchanged. I.e. length is according to full UDP datagram, not just the part within the actual frame! But this is only true within the first frame: all following frames don't have a valid UDP-header at all. The spidernet silicon seems to be quite intelligent: It's able to compute (IP / UDP / Ethernet) checksums on the fly and tests if frames are conforming to RFC -- at least conforming to RFC on complete frames. But IP fragments are different as explained above: I.e. for IP fragments containing part of a UDP datagram it sees incompatible length in the headers for IP and UDP in the first frame and, thus, skips this frame. But the content *is* correct for IP fragments. For all following frames it finds (most probably) no valid UDP header at all. But this *is* also correct for IP fragments. The Linux IP-stack seems to be clever in this point. It expects the spidernet to calculate the checksum (since the module claims to be able to do so) and marks the skb's for "normal" frames accordingly (ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_HW). But for the IP fragments it does not expect the driver to be capable to handle the frames appropriately. Thus all checksums are allready computed. This is also flaged within the skb (ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE). Unfortunately the spidernet driver ignores that hints. It tries to send the IP fragments of UDP datagrams as normal UDP/IP frames. Since they have different structure the silicon detects them the be not "well-formed" and skips them. The following one-liner against 2.6.21-rc2 changes this behavior. If the IP-stack claims to have done the checksumming, the driver should not try to checksum (and analyze) the frame but send it as is.

* 'linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/avi/kvm: KVM: Fix off-by-one when writing to a nonpae guest pde
-
Avi Kivity authored
Nonpae guest pdes are shadowed by two pae ptes, so we double the offset twice: once to account for the pte size difference, and once because we need to shadow pdes for a single guest pde. But when writing to the upper guest pde we also need to truncate the lower bits, otherwise the multiply shifts these bits into the pde index and causes an access to the wrong shadow pde. If we're at the end of the page (accessing the very last guest pde) we can even overflow into the next host page and oops. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

There is a race between netlink_dump_start() and netlink_release() that can lead to the situation when a netlink socket with non-zero callback is freed. Here it is: CPU1: CPU2 netlink_release(): netlink_dump_start(): sk = netlink_lookup(); /* OK */ netlink_remove(); spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock); if (nlk->cb) { /* false */ ... } spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock); spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock); if (nlk->cb) { /* false */ ... } nlk->cb = cb; spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock); ... sock_orphan(sk); /* * proceed with releasing * the socket */ The proposal it to make sock_orphan before detaching the callback in netlink_release() and to check for the sock to be SOCK_DEAD in netlink_dump_start() before setting a new callback.

This patch fixes an oops first reported in mid 2006 - see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/29/358 The cause of this bug report is that when an error is signalled on the socket, irda_recvmsg_stream returns without removing a local wait_queue variable from the socket's sk_sleep queue. This causes havoc further down the road. In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix, as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg (and other places) to oops. This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable inclusion.

The way partial delivery is currently implemnted, it is possible to intereleave a message (either from another steram, or unordered) that is not part of partial delivery process. The only way to this is for a message to not be a fragment and be 'in order' or unorderd for a given stream. This will result in bypassing the reassembly/ordering queues where things live duing partial delivery, and the message will be delivered to the socket in the middle of partial delivery. This is a two-fold problem, in that: 1. the app now must check the stream-id and flags which it may not be doing. 2. this clearing partial delivery state from the association and results in ulp hanging. This patch is a band-aid over a much bigger problem in that we don't do stream interleave. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
