High values are always wrong for netiucv's sysfs attribute "buffer". But the current code does not detect values between 2**31 and 2**32 as invalid. Choosing type "unsigned int" for variable "bs1" and making use of "kstrtouint()" improves the syntax checking for "buffer". Signed-off-by:

The prsctp polices include ttl expires policy already, we should remove the old ttl expires codes, and just adjust the new polices' codes to be compatible with the old one for users. This patch is to remove all the old expires codes, and if prsctp polices are not set, it will still set msg's expires_at and check the expires in sctp_check_abandoned. Note that asoc->prsctp_enable is set by default, so users can't feel any difference even if they use the old expires api in userspace. Signed-off-by:

Now sctp uses chunk->resent to record if a chunk is retransmitted, for RTT measurements with retransmitted DATA chunks. chunk->sent_count was introduced to record how many times one chunk has been sent for prsctp RTX policy before. We actually can know if one chunk is retransmitted by checking chunk->sent_count is greater than 1. This patch is to remove resent from sctp_chunk and reuse sent_count to avoid retransmitted chunks for RTT measurements. Signed-off-by:

Jarod Wilson says: ==================== net: centralize net_device MTU bounds checking While looking into an MTU issue with sfc, I started noticing that almost every NIC driver with an ndo_change_mtu function implemented almost exactly the same range checks, and in many cases, that was the only practical thing their ndo_change_mtu function was doing. Quite a few drivers have either 68, 64, 60 or 46 as their minimum MTU value checked, and then various sizes from 1500 to 65535 for their maximum MTU value. We can remove a whole lot of redundant code here if we simple store min_mtu and max_mtu in net_device, and check against those in net/core/dev.c's dev_set_mtu(). This pair of patches looks to introduce centralized MTU range checking infrastructure, while maintaining compatibility with all existing drivers, and start to make use of it, converting all eth_change_mtu/ether_setup users over to this new infra. Assuming these pass review muster, I've got a ton of follow-on patches to clean up MTU settings for everything in the kernel with an ndo_change_mtu. This work is all staged in a (rebasing) git tree here: https://github.com/jarodwilson/linux-muck The master branch is based on net-next from Oct 7, and carries these two patches, plus a ton of follow-on patches to eliminate MTU range checks and change_mtu functions where possible. All patches were successfully built across 160 various arch and config combos by the 0-day folks. (Thanks to Andrew Lunn for the suggestion to get that going). ==================== Signed-off-by:

With centralized MTU checking, there's nothing productive done by eth_change_mtu that isn't already done in dev_set_mtu, so mark it as deprecated and remove all usage of it in the kernel. All callers have been audited for calls to alloc_etherdev* or ether_setup directly, which means they all have a valid dev->min_mtu and dev->max_mtu. Now eth_change_mtu prints out a netdev_warn about being deprecated, for the benefit of out-of-tree drivers that might be utilizing it. Of note, dvb_net.c actually had dev->mtu = 4096, while using eth_change_mtu, meaning that if you ever tried changing it's mtu, you couldn't set it above 1500 anymore. It's now getting dev->max_mtu also set to 4096 to remedy that. v2: fix up lantiq_etop, missed breakage due to drive not compiling on x86 CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

A packet filter might be installed for instance with setsockopt SO_ATTACH_FILTER. af_iucv currently queues skbs rejected by filter into the backlog queue. This does not make sense, since packets rejected by filter can be dropped immediately. This patch adds separate sk_filter return code checking, and dropping of packets if applicable. Signed-off-by:

If a socket program has shut down the socket for sending, it can still receive an undetermined number of packets. The AF_IUCV protocol for HIPER transport requires sending of a WIN flag from time to time from the receiver to the sender, otherwise the peer cannot continue sending. That means sending of control flags must still work, even though the AF_IUCV socket is shutdown for sending data. sock_alloc_send_skb() returns with error EPIPE, if socket sk_shutdown is SEND_SHUTDOWN. Thus this patch temporarily removes the send shutdown attribute from the socket to enable transfer of control flags. Signed-off-by:

mapping->flags currently encodes two different things into a single flag. It contains sticky gfp_mask for page cache allocations and AS_ codes used to report errors/enospace and other states which are mapping specific. Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it also complicates other things. For one thing the gfp flags space is reduced and in fact we are already running out of available bits. It can be assumed that more gfp flags will be necessary later on. To not introduce the address_space grow (at least on x86_64) we can stick it right after private_lock because we have a hole there. struct address_space { struct inode * host; /* 0 8 */ struct radix_tree_root page_tree; /* 8 16 */ spinlock_t tree_lock; /* 24 4 */ atomic_t i_mmap_writable; /* 28 4 */ struct rb_root i_mmap; /* 32 8 */ struct rw_semaphore i_mmap_rwsem; /* 40 40 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */ long unsigned int nrpages; /* 80 8 */ long unsigned int nrexceptional; /* 88 8 */ long unsigned int writeback_index; /* 96 8 */ const struct address_space_operations * a_ops; /* 104 8 */ long unsigned int flags; /* 112 8 */ spinlock_t private_lock; /* 120 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ struct list_head private_list; /* 128 16 */ void * private_data; /* 144 8 */ /* size: 152, cachelines: 3, members: 14 */ /* sum members: 148, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160912114852.GI14524@dhcp22.suse.czSigned-off-by:Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Signed-off-by:

This patch allows to make kthread worker freezable via a new @flags parameter. It will allow to avoid an init work in some kthreads. It currently does not affect the function of kthread_worker_fn() but it might help to do some optimization or fixes eventually. I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags parameter but I believe that we will want more flags in the future. Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member in struct kthread. Well, I guess that we will want to rework the basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge the two structures.

There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event happens. This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues. It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it again with the given timeout. A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time. It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync() or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running. This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier. First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been queued after it was initialized. Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between. Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to avoid any queuing. Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be the list of either normal or delayed works. Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter. As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use kthread_flush_work(). Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works will be pretty useful. The implementation is inspired by workqueues. It uses a timer to queue the work after the requested delay. If the delay is zero, the work is queued immediately. In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker (kthread). Therefore the implementation could be much easier. In particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with the work. We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable. In fact, we do not need any state variable at all. Instead, we add a list of delayed works into the worker. Then the pending work is listed either in the list of queued or delayed works. And the existing check of pending works is the same even for the delayed ones. A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized. Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid and it could simply take the lock. We just add some sanity checks to help with debugging a potential misuse.

Nothing currently prevents a work from queuing for a kthread worker when it is already running on another one. This means that the work might run in parallel on more than one worker. Also some operations are not reliable, e.g. flush. This problem will be even more visible after we add kthread_cancel_work() function. It will only have "work" as the parameter and will use worker->lock to synchronize with others. Well, normally this is not a problem because the API users are sane. But bugs might happen and users also might be crazy. This patch adds a warning when we try to insert the work for another worker. It does not fully prevent the misuse because it would make the code much more complicated without a big benefit. It adds the same warning also into kthread_flush_work() instead of the repeated attempts to get the right lock. A side effect is that one needs to explicitly reinitialize the work if it must be queued into another worker. This is needed, for example, when the worker is stopped and started again. It is a bit inconvenient. But it looks like a good compromise between the stability and complexity. I have double checked all existing users of the kthread worker API and they all seems to initialize the work after the worker gets started. Just for completeness, the patch adds a check that the work is not already in a queue. The patch also puts all the checks into a separate function. It will be reused when implementing delayed works.

Kthread workers are currently created using the classic kthread API, namely kthread_run(). kthread_worker_fn() is passed as the @threadfn parameter. This patch defines kthread_create_worker() and kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() functions that hide implementation details. They enforce using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread. But I doubt that there are any plans to create any alternative. In fact, I think that we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be hard to support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API. The naming and function of kthread_create_worker() is inspired by the workqueues API like the rest of the kthread worker API. The kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() variant is motivated by the original kthread_create_on_cpu(). Note that we need to bind per-CPU kthread workers already when they are created. It makes the life easier. kthread_bind() could not be used later for an already running worker. This patch does _not_ convert existing kthread workers. The kthread worker API need more improvements first, e.g. a function to destroy the worker. IMPORTANT: kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() allows to use any format of the worker name, in compare with kthread_create_on_cpu(). The good thing is that it is more generic. The bad thing is that most users will need to pass the cpu number in two parameters, e.g. kthread_create_worker_on_cpu(cpu, "helper/%d", cpu). To be honest, the main motivation was to avoid the need for an empty va_list. The only legal way was to create a helper function that would be called with an empty list. Other attempts caused compilation warnings or even errors on different architectures. There were also other alternatives, for example, using #define or splitting __kthread_create_worker(). The used solution looked like the least ugly. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-6-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.comSigned-off-by:

kthread_create_on_node() implements a bunch of logic to create the kthread. It is already called by kthread_create_on_cpu().

kthread_create_on_cpu() was added by the commit 2a1d4460 ("kthread: Implement park/unpark facility"). It is currently used only when enabling new CPU. For this purpose, the newly created kthread has to be parked. The CPU binding is a bit tricky. The kthread is parked when the CPU has not been allowed yet. And the CPU is bound when the kthread is unparked. The function would be useful for more per-CPU kthreads, e.g. bnx2fc_thread, fcoethread. For this purpose, the newly created kthread should stay in the uninterruptible state. This patch moves the parking into smpboot. It binds the thread already when created. Then the function might be used universally. Also the behavior is consistent with kthread_create() and kthread_create_on_node().

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the subsystem. The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem. This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by kthread_: __init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker() init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker() init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work() insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work() queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work() flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work() flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker() Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has precedence over the subsystem names. Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several reasons for this solution: + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize" aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer". + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros + init() functions are used close to the other kthread() functions. It looks much better if all the functions use the same scheme. + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related to the init() function. Again it looks better if all functions use the same naming scheme. + there are several precedents for such init() function names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(), jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(), + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.
