Dan Carpenter's static checker warned that in vxlan_stop we are checking if 'vs' can be NULL while later we simply derreference it. As after commit 56ef9c90 ("vxlan: Move socket initialization to within rtnl scope") 'vs' just cannot be NULL in vxlan_stop() anymore, as the interface won't go up if the socket initialization fails. So we are good to just remove the check and make it consistent.

When I updated the code to address a possible null pointer dereference in resize I ended up reverting an exception handling fix for the suffix length in the event that inflate or halve failed. This change is meant to correct that by reverting the earlier fix and instead simply getting the parent again after inflate has been completed to avoid the possible null pointer issue.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp listener refactoring part 15 I am trying to make the final patch pushing request socks into ehash as small as possible. In this patch series, I made various adjustments for the SYNACK generation, allowing me to reach 1 Mpps SYNACK in my stress test (still hitting LISTENER spinlock of course, and the syn_wait spinlock) I also converted the ICMP handlers a bit ahead of time : They no longer need to get the LISTENER socket, and can use only a lookup in ehash table. No big deal if we ignore ICMP for requests socks before the final steps. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

listener can be source of false sharing. request sock has some useful information like : ireq->ir_iif, ireq->ir_num, ireq->ireq_net This patch does not solve the major problem of having to read sk->sk_protocol which is sharing a cache line with sk->sk_wmem_alloc. (This same field is read later in ip_build_and_send_pkt()) One idea would be to move sk_protocol close to sk_family (using 8 bits instead of 16 for sk_family seems enough) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

skb->priority can be set for two purposes: 1) With respect to IP TOS field, which is computed by a mask. Ususally used for priority qdisc's (pfifo, prio etc.), on TX side (we only have ingress qdisc on RX side). 2) Used as a classid or flowid, works in the same way with tc classid. What's more, this can even override the classid of tc filters. For case 1), it has been respected within its netns, I don't see any point of keeping it for another netns, especially when packets will be forwarded to Rx path (no matter from TX path or RX path). For case 2) we care, our applications run inside a netns, and we classify the packets by our own filters outside, If some application sets this priority, it could bypass our filters, therefore clear it when moving out of a netns, it makes no sense to bypass tc filters out of its netns.

The way the algif_skcipher works currently is that on sendmsg/sendpage it builds an sgl for the input data and then on read/recvmsg it sends the job for encryption putting the user to sleep till the data is processed.

WingMan Kwok authored
NetCP 1.5 available on newer K2 SoCs such as K2E and K2L introduced 3 variants of the ethss subsystem, 9 port, 5 port and 2 port. These have one host port towards the CPU and N external slave ports. To customize the driver for these new ethss sub systems, multiple compatibility strings are introduced. Currently some of parameters that are different on different variants such as number of ALE ports, stats modules and number of ports are defined through constants. These are now changed to variables in gbe_priv data that get set based on the compatibility string. This is required as there are no hardware identification registers available to distinguish among the variants of NetCP 1.5 ethss. However there is identification register available to differentiate between NetCP 1.4 vs NetCP 1.5 and the same is made use of in the code to differentiate them.

Ethss has multiple modules within the sub system - switch sub system - sgmii - mdio - switch module NetCP driver re-uses existing davinci mdio driver. It requires to have its own register region to map the reg space. So restructure the code to use separate reg region for the individual modules it manages. Use range property to define register space of NetCP and use reg property to define individual reg spaces. So MDIO will have its own reg space to map.

net: neighbour: Add mcast_resolicit to configure the number of multicast resolicitations in PROBE state. We send unicast neighbor (ARP or NDP) solicitations ucast_probes times in PROBE state. Zhu Yanjun reported that some implementation does not reply against them and the entry will become FAILED, which is undesirable. We had been dealt with such nodes by sending multicast probes mcast_ solicit times after unicast probes in PROBE state. In 2003, I made a change not to send them to improve compatibility with IPv6 NDP. Let's introduce per-protocol per-interface sysctl knob "mcast_ reprobe" to configure the number of multicast (re)solicitation for reconfirmation in PROBE state. The default is 0, since we have been doing so for 10+ years.
