      mac80211: update the channel context after channel switch · 722ddb0d
      Emmanuel Grumbach authored
      When the channel switch has been made, a vif is now using
      the channel context which was reserved. When that happens,
      we need to update the channel context since its parameters
      may change.
      
      I hit a case in which I switched to a 40Mhz channel but the
      reserved channel context was still on 20Mhz. The rate control
      would try to send 40Mhz packets on a 20Mhz channel context and
      that made iwlwifi's firmware unhappy.

      nl80211: check matches array length before acessing it · f89f46cf
      Luciano Coelho authored
      If the userspace passes a malformed sched scan request (or a net
      detect wowlan configuration) by adding a NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MATCH
      attribute without any nested matchsets, a NULL pointer dereference
      will occur.  Fix this by checking that we do have matchsets in our

      Merge branch 'dma_mb' · 697766df
      David S. Miller authored
      Alexander Duyck says:
      
      ====================
      arch: Add lightweight memory barriers for coherent memory access
      
      These patches introduce two new primitives for synchronizing cache coherent
      memory writes and reads.  These two new primitives are:
      
      	dma_rmb()
      	dma_wmb()
      
      The first patch cleans up some unnecessary overhead related to the
      definition of read_barrier_depends, smp_read_barrier_depends, and comments
      related to the barrier.
      
      The second patch adds the primitives for the applicable architectures and
      asm-generic.
      
      The third patch adds the barriers to r8169 which turns out to be a good
      example of where the new barriers might be useful as they have full
      rmb()/wmb() barriers ordering accesses to the descriptors and the DescOwn
      bit.
      
      The fourth patch adds support for coherent_rmb() to the Intel fm10k, igb,
      and ixgbe drivers.  Testing with the ixgbe driver has shown a processing
      time reduction of at least 7ns per 64B frame on a Core i7-4930K.
      
      This patch series is essentially the v7 for:
      v4-7:	Add lightweight memory barriers for coherent memory access
      v3:	Add lightweight memory barriers fast_rmb() and fast_wmb()
      v2:	Introduce load_acquire() and store_release()
      v1:	Introduce read_acquire()
      
      The key changes in this patch series versus the earlier patches are:
      v7 resubmit:
      	- Added Acked-by: Ben Herrenschmidt from v5 to dma_rmb/wmb patch
      	- No code changes from previous set, still applies cleanly and builds.
      v7:
      	- Dropped test/debug patch that was accidentally slipped in
      v6:
      	- Replaced "memory based device I/O" with "consistent memory" in
      	  docs
      	- Added reference to DMA-API.txt to explain consistent memory
      v5:
      	- Renamed barriers dma_rmb and dma_wmb
      	- Undid smp_wmb changes in x86 and PowerPC
      	- Defined smp_rmb as __lwsync for SMP case on PowerPC
      v4:
      	- Renamed barriers coherent_rmb and coherent_wmb
      	- Added smp_lwsync for use in smp_load_acquire/smp_store_release
      v3:
      	- Moved away from acquire()/store() and instead focused on barriers
      	- Added cleanup of read_barrier_depends
      	- Added change in r8169 to fix cur_tx/DescOwn ordering
      	- Simplified changes to just replacing/moving barriers in r8169
      	- Added update to documentation with code example
      v2:
      	- Renamed read_acquire() to be consistent with smp_load_acquire()
      	- Changed barrier used to be consistent with smp_load_acquire()
      	- Updated PowerPC code to use __lwsync based on IBM article
      	- Added store_release() as this is a viable use case for drivers
      	- Added r8169 patch which is able to fully use primitives
      	- Added fm10k/igb/ixgbe patch which is able to test performance

      fm10k/igb/ixgbe: Use dma_rmb on Rx descriptor reads · 124b74c1
      Alexander Duyck authored
      This change makes it so that dma_rmb is used when reading the Rx
      descriptor.  The advantage of dma_rmb is that it allows for a much
      lower cost barrier on x86, powerpc, arm, and arm64 architectures than a
      traditional memory barrier when dealing with reads that only have to
      synchronize to coherent memory.
      
      In addition I have updated the code so that it just checks to see if any
      bits have been set instead of just the DD bit since the DD bit will always
      be set as a part of a descriptor write-back so we just need to check for a
      non-zero value being present at that memory location rather than just
      checking for any specific bit.  This allows the code itself to appear much
      cleaner and allows the compiler more room to optimize.

      r8169: Use dma_rmb() and dma_wmb() for DescOwn checks · a0750138
      Alexander Duyck authored
      The r8169 use a pair of wmb() calls when setting up the descriptor rings.
      The first is to synchronize the descriptor data with the descriptor status,
      and the second is to synchronize the descriptor status with the use of the
      MMIO doorbell to notify the device that descriptors are ready.  This can
      come at a heavy price on some systems, and is not really necessary on
      systems such as x86 as a simple barrier() would suffice to order store/store
      accesses.  As such we can replace the first memory barrier with
      dma_wmb() to reduce the cost for these accesses.
      
      In addition the r8169 uses a rmb() to prevent compiler optimization in the
      cleanup paths, however by moving the barrier down a few lines and replacing
      it with a dma_rmb() we should be able to use it to guarantee
      descriptor accesses do not occur until the device has updated the DescOwn
      bit from its end.
      
      One last change I made is to move the update of cur_tx in the xmit path to
      after the wmb.  This way we can guarantee the device and all CPUs should
      see the DescOwn update before they see the cur_tx value update.

      arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb() · 1077fa36
      Alexander Duyck authored
      There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and
      wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers
      and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be.  For
      example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync
      instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed
      is an lsync or eieio instruction.
      
      This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers
      rmb() and wmb().  In most cases this should result in the barrier being the
      same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a
      barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb().  For example on
      ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows:
      
        Barrier   Call     Explanation
        --------- -------- ----------------------------------
        rmb()     dsb()    Data synchronization barrier - system
        dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable
        smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable
      
      These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb().
      Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent
      memories.  The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of
      reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the
      CPU and a device.
      
      It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb().  Most architectures don't
      provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without
      resorting to the same mechanism used in mb().  As such there isn't much to
      be gained in trying to define such a function.

      arch: Cleanup read_barrier_depends() and comments · 8a449718
      Alexander Duyck authored
      This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and
      smp_read_barrier_depends.  In multiple spots in the kernel headers
      read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go
      into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference
      read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty
      do/while.
      
      With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions
      and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header.  In addition I
      moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that
      defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the
      macro, alpha and blackfin.

      Here are two small fixes for the DSA slave interface creation code:
      
      - first patch fixes a null pointer de-reference with an invalid PHY
        device pointer while calling phy_connect_direct()

      net: dsa: handle non-existing PHYs on switch internal bus · 53013c77
      Florian Fainelli authored
      In case there is no PHY at the designated address on the internal
      switch, we would basically de-reference a null pointer here:
      
      dsa_slave_phy_setup(...)
      {
      	p->phy = ds->slave_mii_bus->phy_map[p->port];
      	phy_connect_direct(slave_dev, p->phy, dsa_slave_adjust_link,
      				      ^------
      
      This can be triggered when the platform configuration (platform_data or
      Device Tree) indicates there should be a PHY device at this address, but
      the HW is non-responsive, such that we cannot attach a PHY device at
      this specific location.
      
      Fix this by checking the return value prior to calling
      phy_connect_direct().

      Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
       "This became a fairly large pull request.  In addition to the usual
        driver updates / fixes, there have been a high amount of cleanups in
        ASoC area, as well as control API helpers and kernel documentations
        fixes touching through the whole tree.
      
        In the driver side, the biggest changes are the support for new Intel
        SoC found on new x86 machines, and the updates of FireWire dice and
        oxfw drivers.
      
        Some remarkable items are below:
      
        ALSA core:
         - PCM mmap code cleanup, removal of arch-dependent codes
         - PCM xrun injection support
         - PCM hwptr tracepoint support
         - Refactoring of snd_pcm_action(), simplification of PCM locking
         - Robustified sequecner auto-load functionality
         - New control API helpers and lots of cleanups along with them
         - Lots of kerneldoc fixes and cleanups
      
        USB-audio:
         - The mixer resume code was largely rewritten, and the devices with
           quirks are resumed properly.
         - New hardware support: Focusrite Scarlett, Digidesign Mbox1,
           Denon/Marantz DACs, Zoom R16/24
      
        FireWire:
         - DICE driver updates with better duplex and sync support, including
           MIDI support
         - New OXFW driver for Oxford Semiconductor FW970/971 chipset,
           including the previous LaCie Speakers device.  Fullduplex and MIDI
           support included as well as DICE driver.
      
        HD-audio:
         - Refactoring the driver-caps quirk handling in snd-hda-intel
         - More consistent control names representing the topology better
         - Fixups: HP mute LED with ALC268 codec, Ideapad S210 built-in mic
           fix, ASUS Z99He laptop EAPD
      
        ASoC:
         - Conversion of AC'97 drivers to use regmap, bringing us closer to
           the removal of the ASoC level I/O code
         - Clean up a lot of old drivers that were open coding things that
           have subsequently been implemented in the core
         - Some DAPM performance improvements
         - Removal of the now seldom used CODEC mutex
         - Lots of updates for the newer Intel SoC support, including support
           for the DSP and some Cherrytrail and Braswell machine drivers
         - Support for Samsung boards using rt5631 as the CODEC
         - Removal of the obsolete AFEB9260 machine driver
         - Driver support for the TI TS3A227E headset driver used in some
           Chrombeooks
      
        Others:
         - ASIHPI driver update and cleanups
         - Lots of dev_*() printk conversions
         - Lots of trivial cleanups for the codes spotted by Coccinelle"

      Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely:
       "Lots of activity in the devicetree code for v3.18.  Most of it is
        related to getting all of the overlay support code in place, but there
        are other important things in there.
      
        Highlights:
      
         - OF_RECONFIG notifiers for SPI, I2C and Platform devices.  Those
           subsystems can now respond to live changes to the device tree.
      
         - CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY method for applying live changes to the device
           tree
      
         - Removal of the of_allnodes list.  This used to be used to iterate
           over all the nodes in the device tree, but it is unnecessary
           because the same thing can be done by iterating over the list of
           child pointers.  Getting rid of of_allnodes saves some memory and
           avoids the possibility of of_allnodes being sorted differently from
           the child lists.
      
         - Support for retrieving original DTB blob via sysfs.  Needed by
           kexec.

      Fix race condition between vxlan_sock_add and vxlan_sock_release · 00c83b01
      Marcelo Leitner authored
      Currently, when trying to reuse a socket, vxlan_sock_add will grab
      vn->sock_lock, locate a reusable socket, inc refcount and release
      vn->sock_lock.
      
      But vxlan_sock_release() will first decrement refcount, and then grab
      that lock. refcnt operations are atomic but as currently we have
      deferred works which hold vs->refcnt each, this might happen, leading to
      a use after free (specially after vxlan_igmp_leave):
      
        CPU 1                            CPU 2
      
      deferred work                    vxlan_sock_add
        ...                              ...
                                         spin_lock(&vn->sock_lock)
                                         vs = vxlan_find_sock();
        vxlan_sock_release
          dec vs->refcnt, reaches 0
          spin_lock(&vn->sock_lock)
                                         vxlan_sock_hold(vs), refcnt=1
                                         spin_unlock(&vn->sock_lock)
          hlist_del_rcu(&vs->hlist);
          vxlan_notify_del_rx_port(vs)
          spin_unlock(&vn->sock_lock)
      
      So when we look for a reusable socket, we check if it wasn't freed
      already before reusing it.

      ====================
      mlx4 driver update
      
      This series from Matan, Jenny, Dotan and myself is mostly about adding
      support to a new performance optimized flow steering mode (patches 4-10).
      
      The 1st two patches are small fixes (one for VXLAN and one for SRIOV),
      and the third patch is a fix to avoid hard-lockup situation when many
      (hunderds) processes holding user-space QPs/CQs get events.

      net/mlx4: Add support for A0 steering · 7d077cd3
      Matan Barak authored
      Add the required firmware commands for A0 steering and a way to enable
      that. The firmware support focuses on INIT_HCA, QUERY_HCA, QUERY_PORT,
      QUERY_DEV_CAP and QUERY_FUNC_CAP commands. Those commands are used
      to configure and query the device.
      
      The different A0 DMFS (steering) modes are:
      
      Static - optimized performance, but flow steering rules are
      limited. This mode should be choosed explicitly by the user
      in order to be used.
      
      Dynamic - this mode should be explicitly choosed by the user.
      In this mode, the FW works in optimized steering mode as long as
      it can and afterwards automatically drops to classic (full) DMFS.
      
      Disable - this mode should be explicitly choosed by the user.
      The user instructs the system not to use optimized steering, even if
      the FW supports Dynamic A0 DMFS (and thus will be able to use optimized
      steering in Default A0 DMFS mode).
      
      Default - this mode is implicitly choosed. In this mode, if the FW
      supports Dynamic A0 DMFS, it'll work in this mode. Otherwise, it'll
      work at Disable A0 DMFS mode.
      
      Under SRIOV configuration, when the A0 steering mode is enabled,
      older guest VF drivers who aren't using the RX QP allocation flag
      (MLX4_RESERVE_A0_QP) will get a QP from the general range and
      fail when attempting to register a steering rule. To avoid that,
      the PF context behaviour is changed once on A0 static mode, to
      require support for the allocation flag in VF drivers too.
      
      In order to enable A0 steering, we use log_num_mgm_entry_size param.
      If the value of the parameter is not positive, we treat the absolute
      value of log_num_mgm_entry_size as a bit field. Setting bit 2 of this
      bit field enables static A0 steering.

      net/mlx4: Add A0 hybrid steering · d57febe1
      Matan Barak authored
      A0 hybrid steering is a form of high performance flow steering.
      By using this mode, mlx4 cards use a fast limited table based steering,
      in order to enable fast steering of unicast packets to a QP.
      
      In order to implement A0 hybrid steering we allocate resources
      from different zones:
      (1) General range
      (2) Special MAC-assigned QPs [RSS, Raw-Ethernet] each has its own region.
      
      When we create a rss QP or a raw ethernet (A0 steerable and BF ready) QP,
      we try hard to allocate the QP from range (2). Otherwise, we try hard not
      to allocate from this  range. However, when the system is pushed to its
      limits and one needs every resource, the allocator uses every region it can.
      
      Meaning, when we run out of raw-eth qps, the allocator allocates from the
      general range (and the special-A0 area is no longer active). If we run out
      of RSS qps, the mechanism tries to allocate from the raw-eth QP zone. If that
      is also exhausted, the allocator will allocate from the general range
      (and the A0 region is no longer active).
      
      Note that if a raw-eth qp is allocated from the general range, it attempts
      to allocate the range such that bits 6 and 7 (blueflame bits) in the
      QP number are not set.
      
      When the feature is used in SRIOV, the VF has to notify the PF what
      kind of QP attributes it needs. In order to do that, along with the
      "Eth QP blueflame" bit, we reserve a new "A0 steerable QP". According
      to the combination of these bits, the PF tries to allocate a suitable QP.
      
      In order to maintain backward compatibility (with older PFs), the PF
      notifies which QP attributes it supports via QUERY_FUNC_CAP command.

      Matan Barak authored
      The zone allocator is a mechanism which manages a few mlx4_bitmaps.
      
      When allocating a resource, the user indicates the desired zone of
      which this resource will be allocated from. If possible, the resource
      will be allocated from this zone. Otherwise, the resource will be
      allocated from a less-than, equal-to, higher-than priority zone,
      according to the desired zone's properties with that respective
      allocation order.
