      ipv6: update ip6_rt_last_gc every time GC is run · 49a18d86
      Michal Kubeček authored 
      As pointed out by Eric Dumazet, net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc should
hold the last time garbage collector was run so that we should
update it whenever fib6_run_gc() calls fib6_clean_all(), not only
if we got there from ip6_dst_gc().

      ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contention · 2ac3ac8f
      Michal Kubeček authored 
      On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst
entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of
entries reaches gc_thresh.

This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow
only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc()
doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc()
returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time
so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in
ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for
the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after
another which blocks them for quite long.

Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter
to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between
spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with
force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

====================
This pull request is intended for the 3.11 stream.  It is a bit
larger than usual, as it includes pulls from most of my feeder trees
as well...

For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:

"A few fixes and devices ID additions for 3.11:

 * There are 4 new ath3k device ids
 * Fixed stack memory usage in ath3k.
 * Fixed the init process of BlueFRITZ! devices, they were failing to init
   due to an unsupported command we sent.
 * Fixed wrong use of PTR_ERR in btusb code that was preventing intel devices
   to work properly.
 * Fixed race condition between hci_register_dev() and hci_dev_open() that
   could cause a NULL pointer dereference.
 * Fixed race condition that could call hci_req_cmd_complete() and make some
   devices to fail as showed in the log added to the commit message."

Regarding the NFC bits, Samuel says:

"We have:

1) A build failure fix for the NCI SPI transport layer due to a
   missing CRC_CCITT Kconfig dependency.

2) A netlink command rename: CMD_FW_UPLOAD was merged during the 3.11
   merge window but the typical terminology for loading a firmware to a
   target is firmware download rather than upload. In order to avoid any
   confusion in a file exported to userspace, we rename this command to
   CMD_FW_DOWNLOAD."

Samuel's item #2 isn't strictly a fix, but it seems safe and should
avoid confusion in the future.

As for the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"I only have three fixes this time, a fix for a suspend regression, a
patch correcting the initiator in regulatory code and one fix for mesh
station powersave."

With respect to the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:

"We have a scan fix for passive channels, a new PCI device ID for an old
device, a NIC reset fix, an RF-Kill fix, a fix for powersave when GO
interfaces are present as well as an aggregation session fix (for a
corner case) and a workaround for a firmware design issue - it only
supports a single GTK in D3."

Bringing-up the rear with the Atheros trees, Kalle says:

"Geert Uytterhoeven fixed an ath10k build problem when NO_DMA=y. I added
a missing MAINTAINERS entry for ath10k and updated ath6kl git tree
location."

Along with the above...

Arend van Spriel fixes a brcmfmac WARNING when unplugging the device.

Avinash Patil proves a couple of minor mwifiex fixes relating to P2P mode.

Luciano Coelho updates the MAINTAINERS entry for the wilink drivers.

Stanislaw Gruszka brings an rt2x00 fix for a queue start/stop problem.

Stone Piao fixes another mwifiex problem, a command timeout related to P2P mode.

Tomasz Moń corrects an endian problem in mwifiex.

I'll remind my feeder maintainers to slowdown the patchflow.
Beyond that, please let me know if there are problems!

      bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier · b00589af
      Linus Lüssing authored 
      If there is no querier on a link then we won't get periodic reports and
therefore won't be able to learn about multicast listeners behind ports,
potentially leading to lost multicast packets, especially for multicast
listeners that joined before the creation of the bridge.

These lost multicast packets can appear since c5c23260
("bridge: Add multicast_querier toggle and disable queries by default")
in particular.

With this patch we are flooding multicast packets if our querier is
disabled and if we didn't detect any other querier.

A grace period of the Maximum Response Delay of the querier is added to
give multicast responses enough time to arrive and to be learned from
before disabling the flooding behaviour again.

      8139cp: Add dma_mapping_error checking · cf3c4c03
      Neil Horman authored 
      Self explanitory dma_mapping_error addition to the 8139 driver, based on this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947250

It showed several backtraces arising for dma_map_* usage without checking the
return code on the mapping.  Add the check and abort the rx/tx operation if its
failed.  Untested as I have no hardware and the reporter has wandered off, but
seems pretty straightforward.
