Pull two networking fixes from David S. Miller: 1) Thanks to Willy Tarreau and Eric Dumazet, we've unlocked a bug that's been present in do_tcp_sendpages() since that function was written in 2002. When we block to wait for memory we have to unconditionally try and push out pending TCP data, otherwise we can block for an unreasonably long amount of time. 2) Fix deadlock in e1000, fixes kernel bugzilla 43132 From Tushar Dave. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: e1000: Prevent reset task killing itself. tcp: do_tcp_sendpages() must try to push data out on oom conditions

Commit 1cc0c998 ("ACPI: Fix D3hot v D3cold confusion") introduced a bug in __acpi_bus_set_power() and changed the behavior of acpi_pci_set_power_state() in such a way that it generally doesn't work as expected if PCI_D3hot is passed to it as the second argument. First off, if ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) is passed to __acpi_bus_set_power() and the explicit_set flag is set for the D3cold state, the function will try to execute AML method called "_PS4", which doesn't exist. Fix this by adding a check to ensure that the name of the AML method to execute for transitions to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD is correct in __acpi_bus_set_power(). Also make sure that the explicit_set flag for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD will be set if _PS3 is present and modify acpi_power_transition() to avoid accessing power resources for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD, because they don't exist. Second, if PCI_D3hot is passed to acpi_pci_set_power_state() as the target state, the function will request a transition to ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT instead of ACPI_STATE_D3. However, ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT is now only marked as supported if the _PR3 AML method is defined for the given device, which is rare. This causes problems to happen on systems where devices were successfully put into ACPI D3 by pci_set_power_state(PCI_D3hot) which doesn't work now. In particular, some unused graphics adapters are not turned off as a result. To fix this issue restore the old behavior of acpi_pci_set_power_state(), which is to request a transition to ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) if either PCI_D3hot or PCI_D3cold is passed to it as the argument. This approach is not ideal, because generally power should not be removed from devices if PCI_D3hot is the target power state, but since this behavior is relied on, we have no choice but to restore it at the moment and spend more time on designing a better solution in the future.

Willy Tarreau authored
Since recent changes on TCP splicing (starting with commits 2f533844 "tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets" and 35f9c09f "tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once"), I started seeing massive stalls when forwarding traffic between two sockets using splice() when pipe buffers were larger than socket buffers. Latest changes (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) made the problem even more apparent. The reason seems to be that if do_tcp_sendpages() fails on out of memory condition without being able to send at least one byte, tcp_push() is not called and the buffers cannot be flushed. After applying the attached patch, I cannot reproduce the stalls at all and the data rate it perfectly stable and steady under any condition which previously caused the problem to be permanent. The issue seems to have been there since before the kernel migrated to git, which makes me think that the stalls I occasionally experienced with tux during stress-tests years ago were probably related to the same issue. This issue was first encountered on 3.0.31 and 3.2.17, so please backport to -stable. Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>

Pull two more target-core updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "The first patch addresses a SPC-2 reservations RELEASE bug in a special (iscsi specific) multi-ISID setup case that was allowing the same initiator to be able to incorrect release it's own reservation on a different SCSI path with enforce_pr_isid=1 operation. This bug was caught by Bernhard Kohl. The second patch is to address a bug with FILEIO backends where the incorrect number of blocks for READ_CAPACITY was being reported after an underlying device-mapper block_device size change. This patch uses now i_size_read() in fd_get_blocks() for FILEIO backends with an underlying block_device, instead of trying to determine this value at setup time during fd_create_virtdevice().

This patch fixes a bug in the handling of FILEIO w/ underlying block_device resize operations where the original fd_dev->fd_dev_size was incorrectly being used in fd_get_blocks() for READ_CAPACITY response payloads. This patch avoids using fd_dev->fd_dev_size for FILEIO devices with an underlying block_device, and instead changes fd_get_blocks() to get the sector count directly from i_size_read() as recommended by hch.

__napi_schedule might raise softirq but nothing causes do_softirq to trigger, so it does not in fact run. As a result, the error message "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" sometimes occurs during boot of a KVM guest when the network service is started and we are oom: ... Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0...NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 done. [ OK ] ... Further, receive queue processing might get delayed indefinitely until some interrupt triggers: virtio_net expected napi to be run immediately. One way to cause do_softirq to be executed is by invoking local_bh_enable(). As __napi_schedule is normally called from bh or irq context, this seems to make sense: disable bh before __napi_schedule and enable afterwards. In fact it's a very complicated way of calling do_softirq(), and works since this function is only used when we are not in interrupt context. It's not hot at all, in any ideal scenario.

If a port was open before going into one of the sleep states, the port can continue normal operation after restore. However, the host has to be told that the guest side of the connection is open to restore pre-suspend state. This wasn't noticed so far due to a bug in qemu that was fixed recently (which marked the guest-side connection as always open).

Use del_timer_sync to remove timer before mddev_suspend finishes. We don't want a timer going off after an mddev_suspend is called. This is especially true with device-mapper, since it can call the destructor function immediately following a suspend. This results in the removal (kfree) of the structures upon which the timer depends - resulting in a very ugly panic. Therefore, we add a del_timer_sync to mddev_suspend to prevent this.

raid10 stores dev_sectors in 'conf' separately from the one in 'mddev' because it can have a very significant effect on block addressing and so need to be updated carefully. However raid10_resize isn't updating it at all! To update it correctly, we need to make sure it is a proper multiple of the chunksize taking various details of the layout in to account. This calculation is currently done in setup_conf. So split it out from there and call it from raid10_resize as well. Then set conf->dev_sectors properly. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Pull networking tree from David Miller: 1) ptp_pch driver build broke during this merge window due to missing slab.h header, fix from Geery Uytterhoeven. 2) If ipset passes in a bogus hash table size we crash because the size is not validated properly. Compounding this, gcc-4.7 can miscompile ipset such that even when the user specifies legitimate parameters the tool passes in an out-of-range size to the kernel. Fix from Jozsef Kadlecsik. 3) Users have reported that the netdev watchdog can trigger with pch_gbe devices, and it turns out this is happening because of races in the TX path of the driver leading to the transmitter hanging. Fix from Eric Dumazet, reported and tested by Andy Cress. 4) Novatel USB551L devices match the generic class entries for the cdc ethernet USB driver, but they don't work because they have generic descriptors and thus need FLAG_WWAN to function properly. Add the necessary ID table entry to fix this, from Dan Williams. 5) A recursive locking fix in the USBNET driver added a new problem, in that packet list traversal is now racy and we can thus access unlinked SKBs and crash. Avoid this situation by adding some extra state tracking, from Ming Lei. 6) The rtlwifi conversion to asynchronous firmware loading is racy, fix by reordering the probe procedure. From Larry Finger. Fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43187 7) Fix regressions with bluetooth keyboards by notifying userland properly when the security level changes, from Gustavo Padovan. 8) Bluetooth needs to make sure device connected events are emitted before other kinds of events, otherwise userspace will think there is no baseband link yet and therefore abort the sockets associated with that connection. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: netfilter: ipset: fix hash size checking in kernel ptp_pch: Add missing #include <linux/slab.h> pch_gbe: fix transmit races cdc_ether: add Novatel USB551L device IDs for FLAG_WWAN usbnet: fix skb traversing races during unlink(v2) Bluetooth: mgmt: Fix device_connected sending order Bluetooth: notify userspace of security level change rtlwifi: fix for race condition when firmware is cached

First, we were at risk of handling thread-info flags, in particular do_signal(), when returning from kernel space. This could happen after a failed kernel_execve(), or when forking a kernel thread. The fix is to test in do_work_pending() for user_mode() and return immediately if so; we already had this test for one of the flags, so I just hoisted it to the top of the function. Second, if a ptraced process updated the callee-saved registers in the ptregs struct and then processed another thread-info flag, we would overwrite the modifications with the original callee-saved registers. To fix this, we add a register to note if we've already saved the registers once, and skip doing it on additional passes through the loop. To avoid a performance hit from the couple of extra instructions involved, I modified the GET_THREAD_INFO() macro to be guaranteed to be one instruction, then bundled it with adjacent instructions, yielding an overall net savings.

When jumping back into the kernel to code that knows that it would be using HSRR registers instead of SRR registers, we need to make sure we pass it all information on where to jump to in HSRR registers. Unfortunately, we used r10 to store the information to distinguish between the HSRR and SRR case. That register got clobbered in between though, rendering the later comparison invalid. Instead, let's use cr1 to store this information. That way we don't need yet another register and everyone's happy. This fixes PR KVM on POWER7 bare metal for me.

When running on a system that is HV capable, some interrupts use HSRR SPRs instead of the normal SRR SPRs. These are also used in the Linux handlers to jump back to code after an interrupt got processed. Unfortunately, in our "jump back to the real host handler after we've done the context switch" code, we were only setting the SRR SPRs, rendering Linux to jump back to some invalid IP after it's processed the interrupt. This fixes random crashes on p7 opal mode with PR KVM for me. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

In addition to normal "priviledged instruction" traps, we can also receive "emulation assist" traps on newer hardware that has the HV bit set. Handle that one the same way as a privileged instruction, including the instruction fetching.

John Linville says: Here are three more fixes that some of my developers are desperate to see included in 3.4... Johan Hedberg went to some length justifyng the inclusion of these two Bluetooth fixes: "The device_connected fix should be quite self-explanatory, but it's actually a wider issue than just for keyboards. All profiles that do incoming connection authorization (e.g. headsets) will break without it with specific hardware. The reason it wasn't caught earlier is that it only occurs with specific Bluetooth adapters. As for the security level patch, this fixes L2CAP socket based security level elevation during a connection. The HID profile needs this (for keyboards) and it is the only way to achieve the security level elevation when using the management interface to talk to the kernel (hence the management enabling patch being the one that exposes this" The rtlwifi fix addresses a regression related to firmware loading, as described in kernel.org bug 43187.
