This function iterates over net_namespace_list and flushes the queue for every of them. What does this rtnl_lock() protects?! Since we may add skbs to net::wext_nlevents without rtnl_lock(), it does not protects us about queuers. It guarantees, two threads can't flush the queue in parallel, that can change the order, but since skb can be queued in any order, it doesn't matter, how many threads do this in parallel. In case of several threads, this will be even faster. So, we can remove rtnl_lock() here, as it was used for iteration over net_namespace_list only.

rtnl_lock() is used everywhere, and contention is very high. When someone wants to iterate over alive net namespaces, he/she has no a possibility to do that without exclusive lock. But the exclusive rtnl_lock() in such places is overkill, and it just increases the contention. Yes, there is already for_each_net_rcu() in kernel, but it requires rcu_read_lock(), and this can't be sleepable. Also, sometimes it may be need really prevent net_namespace_list growth, so for_each_net_rcu() is not fit there. This patch introduces new rw_semaphore, which will be used instead of rtnl_mutex to protect net_namespace_list. It is sleepable and allows not-exclusive iterations over net namespaces list. It allows to stop using rtnl_lock() in several places (what is made in next patches) and makes less the time, we keep rtnl_mutex. Here we just add new lock, while the explanation of we can remove rtnl_lock() there are in next patches. Fine grained locks generally are better, then one big lock, so let's do that with net_namespace_list, while the situation allows that.

David Howells says: ==================== rxrpc: Tracing updates Here are some patches that update tracing in AF_RXRPC and AFS: (1) Add a tracepoint for tracking resend events. (2) Use debug_ids in traces rather than pointers (as pointers are now hashed) and allow use of the same debug_id in AFS calls as in the corresponding AF_RXRPC calls. This makes filtering the trace output much easier. (3) Add a tracepoint for tracking call completion. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In rxrpc and afs, use the debug_ids that are monotonically allocated to various objects as they're allocated rather than pointers as kernel pointers are now hashed making them less useful. Further, the debug ids aren't reused anywhere nearly as quickly. In addition, allow kernel services that use rxrpc, such as afs, to take numbers from the rxrpc counter, assign them to their own call struct and pass them in to rxrpc for both client and service calls so that the trace lines for each will have the same ID tag.

Edward Cree says: ==================== sfc: rework locking around filter management The use of a spinlock to protect filter state combined with the need for a sleeping operation (MCDI) to apply that state to the NIC (on EF10) led to unfixable race conditions, around the handling of filter restoration after an MC reboot. So, this patch series removes the requirement to be able to modify the SW filter table from atomic context, by using a workqueue to request asynchronous filter operations (which are needed for ARFS). Then, the filter table locks are changed to mutexes, replacing the dance of spinlocks and 'busy' flags. Also, a mutex is added to protect the RSS context state, since otherwise a similar race is possible around restoring that after an MC reboot. While we're at it, fix a couple of other related bugs. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If some other operation gets the MCDI lock ahead of us and performs an MC reboot, then our attempt to insert the filter will fail with EINVAL, because the destination VI (spec->dmaq_id, MC_CMD_FILTER_OP_IN_RX_QUEUE) does not exist. But the caller's request (which might e.g. be an ethtool ntuple request from userland) isn't invalid, it just got unlucky; so return EAGAIN.

Edward Cree authored
Instead of having an efx->type->filter_rfs_insert() method, just use workitems with a worker function that calls efx->type->filter_insert(). The only user of this is efx_filter_rfs(), which now queues a call to efx_filter_rfs_work(). Similarly, efx_filter_rfs_expire() is now a worker function called on a new channel->filter_work work_struct, so the method efx->type->filter_rfs_expire_one() is no longer called in atomic context. We also add a new mutex efx->rps_mutex to protect the RPS state (efx-> rps_expire_channel, efx->rps_expire_index, and channel->rps_flow_id) so that the taking of efx->filter_lock can be moved to efx->type->filter_rfs_expire_one(). Thus, all filter table functions are now called in a sleepable context, allowing them to use sleeping locks in a future patch.

Kirill Tkhai says: ==================== Make pernet_operations always read locked All the pernet_operations are converted, and the last one is in this patchset (nfsd_net_ops acked by J. Bruce Fields). So, it's the time to kill pernet_operations::async field, and make setup_net() and cleanup_net() always require the rwsem only read locked. All further pernet_operations have to be developed to fit this rule. Some of previous patches added a comment to struct pernet_operations about that. Also, this patchset renames net_sem to pernet_ops_rwsem to make the target area of the rwsem is more clear visible, and adds more comments. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

If tdc is executing test cases inside a namespace, only the first command in a compound statement will be executed inside the namespace by tdc. As a result, the subsequent commands are not executed inside the namespace and the test will fail. Example: for i in {x..y}; do args="foo"; done && tc actions add $args The namespace execution feature will prepend 'ip netns exec' to the command: ip netns exec tcut for i in {x..y}; do args="foo"; done && \ tc actions add $args So the actual tc command is not parsed by the shell as being part of the namespace execution. Enclosing these compound statements inside a bash invocation with proper escape characters resolves the problem by creating a subshell inside the namespace.

Maxime Chevallier says: ==================== net: mvpp2: Remove unnecessary dynamic allocs Some utility functions in mvpp2 make use of dynamic alloc to exchange temporary objects representing Parser Entries (which are generic filtering entries in the PPv2 controller). These objects are small (44 bytes each), we can use the stack to exchange them. Some previous discussion on this topic showed that the mvpp2_prs_hw_read, which initializes a struct mvpp2_prs_entry based on one of its fields, can easily lead to erroneous code if we don't zero-out the struct beforehand : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/21/739 To fix this, I propose to rename mvpp2_prs_hw_read into mvpp2_prs_init_from_hw, make it zero-out the struct and take the index as a parameter. That's what's done in the first patch of the series. The second patch is the V3 of ("net: mvpp2: Don't use dynamic allocs for local variables"), making use of mvpp2_prs_init_from_hw and taking previous comments into account. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Some helper functions that search for given entries in the TCAM filter on PPv2 controller make use of dynamically alloced temporary variables, allocated with GFP_KERNEL. These functions can be called in atomic context, and dynamic alloc is not really needed in these cases anyways. This commit gets rid of dynamic allocs and use stack allocation in the following functions, and where they're used : - mvpp2_prs_flow_find - mvpp2_prs_vlan_find - mvpp2_prs_double_vlan_find - mvpp2_prs_mac_da_range_find For all these functions, instead of returning an temporary object representing the TCAM entry, we simply return the TCAM id that matches the requested entry.

The mvpp2_prs_hw_read function uses the 'index' field of the struct mvpp2_prs_entry to initialize the rest of the fields. This makes it unclear from a caller's perspective, who needs to manipulate a struct that is not entirely initialized. This commit makes it an init function for prs_entry, by passing it the index as a parameter. The function now zeroes the entry, and sets the index field before doing all other init from HW. The function is renamed 'mvpp2_prs_init_from_hw' to make that clear. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-03-26 This series contains updates to i40e only. Jake provides several patches which remove the need for cmpxchg64(), starting with moving I40E_FLAG_[UDP]_FILTER_SYNC from pf->flags to pf->state since they are modified during run time possibly when the RTNL lock is not held so they should be a state bits and not flags. Moved additional "flags" which should be state fields, into pf->state. Ensure we hold the RTNL lock for the entire sequence of preparing for reset and when resuming, which will protect the flags related to interrupt scheme under RTNL lock so that their modification is properly threaded. Finally, cleanup the use of cmpxchg64() since it is no longer needed. Cleaned up the holes in the feature flags created my moving some flags to the state field. Björn Töpel adds XDP_REDIRECT support as well as tweaking the page counting for XDP_REDIRECT so that it will function properly. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
