      powerpc/eeh: pseries platform EEH wait PE state · b0e5f742
      Gavin Shan authored
      On pSeries platform, the PE state might be temporarily unavailable.
      In that case, the firmware will return the corresponding wait time.
      That means the kernel has to wait for appropriate time in order to
      get the PE state.
      
      The patch does the implementation for that. Besides, the function
      has been abstracted through struct eeh_ops::wait_state so that EEH core
      components could support multiple platforms in future.

      powerpc/eeh: pseries platform PE state retrieval · eb594a47
      Gavin Shan authored
      On pSeries platform, there're 2 dedicated RTAS calls introduced to
      retrieve the corresponding PE's state: ibm,read-slot-reset-state and
      ibm,read-slot-reset-state2.
      
      The patch implements the retrieval of PE's state according to the
      given PE address. Besides, the implementation has been abstracted by
      struct eeh_ops::get_state so that EEH core components could support
      multiple platforms in future.

      powerpc/eeh: pseries platform EEH PE address retrieval · c8c29b38
      Gavin Shan authored
      There're 2 types of addresses used for EEH operations. The first
      one would be BDF (Bus/Device/Function) address which is retrieved
      from the reg property of the corresponding FDT node. Another one
      is PE address that should be enquired from firmware through RTAS
      call on pSeries platform. When issuing EEH operation, the PE address
      has precedence over BDF address.
      
      The patch implements retrieving PE address according to the given
      BDF address on pSeries platform. Also, the struct eeh_early_enable_info
      has been removed since the information can be figured out from
      dn->pdn->phb->buid directly and that simplifies the code.

      powerpc/eeh: pseries platform EEH operations · 8fb8f709
      Gavin Shan authored
      There're 4 EEH operations that are covered by the dedicated RTAS
      call <ibm,set-eeh-option>: enable or disable EEH, enable MMIO and
      enable DMA. At early stage of system boot, the EEH would be tried
      to enable on PCI device related device node. MMIO and DMA for
      particular PE should be enabled when doing recovery on EEH errors
      so that the PE could function properly again.
      
      The patch implements it and abstract that through struct
      eeh_ops::set_eeh. It would be help for EEH to support multiple
      platforms in future.

      powerpc/eeh: pseries platform EEH initialization · e2af155c
      Gavin Shan authored
      The platform specific EEH operations have been abstracted by
      struct eeh_ops. The individual platroms, including pSeries, needs
      doing necessary initialization before the platform dependent EEH
      operations work properly.
      
      The patch is addressing that and do necessary platform initialization
      for pSeries platform. More specificly, it will figure out the tokens
      of EEH related RTAS calls.

      powerpc/eeh: Platform dependent EEH operations · aa1e6374
      Gavin Shan authored
      EEH has been implemented on RTAS-compliant pSeries platform.
      That's to say, the EEH operations will be implemented through RTAS
      calls eventually. The situation limited feasible extension on EEH.
      In order to support EEH on multiple platforms like pseries and powernv
      simutaneously. We have to split the platform dependent EEH options
      up out of current implementation.
      
      The patch addresses supporting EEH on multiple platforms. The pseries
      platform dependent EEH operations will be abstracted by struct eeh_ops.
      EEH core components will be built based on the registered EEH operations.
      With the mechanism, what the individual platform needs to do is implement
      platform dependent EEH operations.
      
      For now, the pseries platform is covered under the mechanism. That means
      we have to think about other platforms to support EEH, like powernv.
      Besides, we only have framework for the mechanism and we have to implement
      it for pseries platform later.

         Scott Talbert.
      
      11) Receiving from certain kinds of devices there won't be a MAC header,

         use the non _sync variants instead.  From Andre Guedes.
      
      20) Bluetooth rfcomm code had reference counting problems leading
         to crashes, fix from Octavian Purdila.
      
      21) The conversion of netem over to classful qdisc handling added
         two bugs to netem_dequeue(), fixes from Eric Dumazet.
      
      22) Missing pci_iounmap() in ATM Solos driver.  Fix from Julia Lawall.
      
      23) b44_pci_exit() should not have __exit tag since it's invoked from
         non-__exit code.  From Nikola Pajkovsky.
      
      24) The conversion of the neighbour hash tables over to RCU added a
         race, fixed here by adding the necessary reread of tbl->nht, fix
         from Michel Machado.
      
      25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device
         dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one
         network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer
         allocated by properly written netlink applications.
      
         In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of
         GLIBC stop working.
      
         To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these
         extended portions of the network device dump.  Sophisticaed
         applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff  will be changed
         to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care
         about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the
         mere presence of VFs on a network device.
      
         Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix.

      Fix autofs compile without CONFIG_COMPAT · 3c761ea0
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when
      CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined.
      
      Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the
      compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task()
      just hardcodes to zero.
      
      We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where
      we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit.

      autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64 · a32744d4
      Ian Kent authored
      When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit
      5c0a32fc ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it
      obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly
      sized fields that are all correctly aligned.
      
      However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the
      actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined:
      because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will
      align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members
      it has.
      
      And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is
      different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte
      alignment on x86-64.  And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round
      number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned.
      
      End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but
      not 8-byte aligned.
      
      As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all
      architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on
      architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64.
      
      Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since
      there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode.  But on x86, 32-bit
      and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result
      the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes.
      
      So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from
      the size of the structure when running in a compat task.  That way we
      will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects.
      
      Not pretty.  Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference
      has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly*
      the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.

      sfc: Fix assignment of ip_summed for pre-allocated skbs · ff3bc1e7
      Ben Hutchings authored
      When pre-allocating skbs for received packets, we set ip_summed =
      CHECKSUM_UNNCESSARY.  We used to change it back to CHECKSUM_NONE when
      the received packet had an incorrect checksum or unhandled protocol.
      
      Commit bc8acf2c ('drivers/net: avoid
      some skb->ip_summed initializations') mistakenly replaced the latter
      assignment with a DEBUG-only assertion that ip_summed ==
      CHECKSUM_NONE.  This assertion is always false, but it seems no-one
      has exercised this code path in a DEBUG build.
      
      Fix this by moving our assignment of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY into
      efx_rx_packet_gro().
