      net: don't wait for order-3 page allocation · 00764c52
      Shaohua Li authored 
      [ Upstream commit fb05e7a8 ]

We saw excessive direct memory compaction triggered by skb_page_frag_refill.
This causes performance issues and add latency. Commit 5640f768
introduces the order-3 allocation. According to the changelog, the order-3
allocation isn't a must-have but to improve performance. But direct memory
compaction has high overhead. The benefit of order-3 allocation can't
compensate the overhead of direct memory compaction.

This patch makes the order-3 page allocation atomic. If there is no memory
pressure and memory isn't fragmented, the alloction will still success, so we
don't sacrifice the order-3 benefit here. If the atomic allocation fails,
direct memory compaction will not be triggered, skb_page_frag_refill will
fallback to order-0 immediately, hence the direct memory compaction overhead is
avoided. In the allocation failure case, kswapd is waken up and doing
compaction, so chances are allocation could success next time.

alloc_skb_with_frags is the same.

The mellanox driver does similar thing, if this is accepted, we must fix
the driver too.

V3: fix the same issue in alloc_skb_with_frags as pointed out by Eric
V2: make the changelog clearer

      bridge: fix multicast router rlist endless loop · 1a3c14f4
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored 
      [ Upstream commit 1a040eac ]

Since the addition of sysfs multicast router support if one set
multicast_router to "2" more than once, then the port would be added to
the hlist every time and could end up linking to itself and thus causing an
endless loop for rlist walkers.
So to reproduce just do:
echo 2 > multicast_router; echo 2 > multicast_router;
in a bridge port and let some igmp traffic flow, for me it hangs up
in br_multicast_flood().
Fix this by adding a check in br_multicast_add_router() if the port is
already linked.
The reason this didn't happen before the addition of multicast_router
sysfs entries is because there's a !hlist_unhashed check that prevents
it.

      sparc: Use GFP_ATOMIC in ldc_alloc_exp_dring() as it can be called in softirq context · 1996810d
      Sowmini Varadhan authored 
      Upstream commit 671d7732

Since it is possible for vnet_event_napi to end up doing
vnet_control_pkt_engine -> ... -> vnet_send_attr ->
vnet_port_alloc_tx_ring -> ldc_alloc_exp_dring -> kzalloc()
(i.e., in softirq context), kzalloc() should be called with
GFP_ATOMIC from ldc_alloc_exp_dring.
