Currently, an rx and a tx ring are always paired with a completion ring. We want to restructure it so that it is possible to have a dedicated completion ring for tx or rx only. The bnxt hardware uses a completion ring for rx and tx events. The driver has to process the completion ring entries sequentially for the rx and tx events. Using a dedicated completion ring for rx only or tx only has these benefits: 1. A burst of rx packets can cause delay in processing tx events if the completion ring is shared. If tx queue is stopped by BQL, this can cause delay in re-starting the tx queue. 2. A completion ring is sized according to the rx and tx ring size rounded up to the nearest power of 2. When the completion ring is shared, it is sized by adding the rx and tx ring sizes and then rounded to the next power of 2, often with a lot of wasted space. 3. Using dedicated completion ring, we can adjust the tx and rx coalescing parameters independently for rx and tx. The first step is to separate the rx and tx ring structures from the bnxt_napi struct. In this patch, an rx ring and a tx ring will point to the same bnxt_napi struct to share the same completion ring. No change in ring assignment and mapping yet.

In sctp_close, sctp_make_abort_user may return NULL because of memory allocation failure. If this happens, it will bypass any state change and never free the assoc. The assoc has no chance to be freed and it will be kept in memory with the state it had even after the socket is closed by sctp_close(). So if sctp_make_abort_user fails to allocate memory, we should abort the asoc via sctp_primitive_ABORT as well. Just like the annotation in sctp_sf_cookie_wait_prm_abort and sctp_sf_do_9_1_prm_abort said, "Even if we can't send the ABORT due to low memory delete the TCB. This is a departure from our typical NOMEM handling". But then the chunk is NULL (low memory) and the SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd would dereference the chunk pointer, and system crash. So we should add SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd only when the chunk is not NULL, just like other places where it adds SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd.

Commit ceb5d58b ("net: fix sock_wake_async() rcu protection") from the current 4.4 release cycle introduced a new flags member in struct socket_wq and moved SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA from struct socket's flags member into that new place. Unfortunately, the new flags field is never initialized properly, at least not for the struct socket_wq instance created in sock_alloc_inode(). One particular issue I encountered because of this is that my GNU Emacs failed to draw anything on my desktop -- i.e. what I got is a transparent window, including the title bar. Bisection lead to the commit mentioned above and further investigation by means of strace told me that Emacs is indeed speaking to my Xorg through an O_ASYNC AF_UNIX socket. This is reproducible 100% of times and the fact that properly initializing the struct socket_wq ->flags fixes the issue leads me to the conclusion that somehow SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA got set in the uninitialized ->flags, preventing my Emacs from receiving any SIGIO's due to data becoming available and it got stuck. Make sock_alloc_inode() set the newly created struct socket_wq's ->flags member to zero.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-12-29 This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf. William Dauchy provides a fix for ixgbevf that was implemented for ixgbe, commit 5d6002b7 ("ixgbe: Fix handling of NAPI budget when multiple queues are enabled per vector"). The issue was that the polling routine would increase the budget for receive to at least 1 per queue if multiple queues were present, which resulted in receive packets being processed when the budget was 0. Emil provides minor cleanups for ixgbevf, one being that we need to check rx_itr_setting with == and not &, since it is not a mask. Added QSFP PHY support in ixgbe to allow for more accurate reporting of port settings. Fixed the max RSS limit for X550 which is 63, not 64. Veola fixes ixgbe ethtool reporting of backplane type interfaces as 1000/10000baseT link modes, instead, report the media as KR, KX or KX4 based on the backplane interface present. Mark cleans up redundancy in the setting of hw_enc_features that makes it appear that X550 has more encapsulation features than other devices. Also do not set NETIF_F_SG any longer since that is set by the register_netdev() call. Also fixed the X550EM_x revision check, which needs to check a value, not just a bit. Alex Duyck fixes additional bugs in ixgbe_clear_vf_vlans(), one being that the mask was using a divide instead of a modulus, which resulted in the mask bit being incorrectly set to 0 or 1 based on the value of the VF being tested. Alex also found that he was not consistent in using the "word" argument as an offset or as a register offset, so made the code consistently use word as the offset in the array. v2: dropped patch 8 of the original series, as it was undoing a part of the fix Alex Duyck was doing in patch 9 of the original series. Dropped based on feedback from Emil (the author). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Sathya Perla says: ==================== be2net: patch set The following patch set contains some feature additions, code re-organization and cleanup and a few non-critical fixes. Pls consider applying this to the net-next tree. Thanks. v3 changes: add a default case to the switch statement in patch 5 to satisfy the compiler (-Wswitch). v2 changes: replaced an if/else block that checks for error values with a switch/case statement in patch 5. Patch 1 fixes VF link state transition from disabled to auto that did not work due to an issue in the FW. This issue could not be fixed in FW due to some backward compatibility issues it causes with released drivers. The issue has been fixed by introducing a new version (v2) of the cmd from 10.6 FW onwards. This patch adds support for v2 version of this cmd. Patch 2 reports a EOPNOTSUPP status to ethtool when the user tries to configure BE3/SRIOV in VEPA mode as it is not supported by the chip. Patch 3 cleansup FW flash image related constant definitions. Many of these definitions (such as section offset values) were defined in decimal format rather than hexa-decimal. This makes this part of the code un-readable. Also some defines related to BE2 are labeld "g2" and defines related to BE3 are labeled "g3". This patch cleans up all of this to make this code more readable. Patch 4 moves the FW cmd code to be_cmds.c. All code relating to FW cmds has been in be_cmds.[ch], excepting FW flash cmd related code. This patch moves these routines from be_main.c to be_cmds.c. Patch 5 adds a log message to report digital signature errors while flashing a FW image. From FW version 11.0 onwards, the FW supports a new "secure mode" feature (based on a jumper setting on the adapter.) In this mode, the FW image when flashed is authenticated with a digital signature. Patch 6 removes a line of code that has no effect. Patch 7 removes some unused variables. Patch 8 fixes port resource descriptor query via the GET_PROFILE FW cmd. An earlier commit passed a specific pf_num while issuing this cmd as FW returns descriptors for all functions when pf_num is zero. But, when pf_num is set to a non-zero value, FW does not return the port resource descriptor. This patch fixes this by setting pf_num to 0 while issuing the query cmd and adds code to pick the correct NIC resource descriptor from the list of descriptors returned by FW. Patch 9 adds support for ethtool get-dump feature. In the past when this option was not yet available, this feature was supported via the --register-dump option as a workaround. This patch removes support for FW-dump via --register-dump option as it is now available via --get-dump option. Even though the "ethtool --register-dump" cmd which used to work earlier, will now fail with ENOTSUPP error, we feel it is not an issue as this is used only for diagnostics purpose. Patch 10 bumps up the driver version. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Alexander Duyck authored
When I had rewritten the code for ixgbe_clear_vf_vlans() it looks like I had transitioned back and forth between using word as an offset and using word as a register offset. As a result I honestly don't see how the code was working before other than the fact that resetting the VLANs on the VF like didn't do much to clear them. Another issue found is that the mask was using a divide instead of a modulus. As a result the mask bit was incorrectly being set to either bit 0 or 1 based on the value of the VF being tested. As a result the wrong VFs were having their VLANs cleared if they were enabled. I have updated the code so that word represents the offset in the array. This way we can use the modulus and xor operations and they will make sense instead of being performed on a 4 byte aligned value. I replaced the statement "(word % 2) ^ 1" with "~word % 2" in order to reduce the line length as the line exceeded 80 characters with the register name inserted. The two should be equivalent so the change should be safe.

mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument. delta contains the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct zone's vm_stat field. If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows. E.g. for a zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone->managed_pages); in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative value. Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type. This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB system with only one node. ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the rest. The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop. This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel. One possible explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state(). Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system right now. However the overflow problem does exist anyway. Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.
