This is a refined version of an earlier patch by Lucas Nussbaum. Cubic needs RTT values in milliseconds. If HZ < 1000 then the values will be too coarse.

Jiffies wraps around therefore the correct way to compare is to use cast to signed value. Note: cubic is not using full jiffies value on 64 bit arch because using full unsigned long makes struct bictcp grow too large for the available ca_priv area. Includes correction from Sangtae Ha to improve ack train detection. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In the congestion control interface, the callback for each ACK includes an estimated round trip time in microseconds. Some algorithms need high resolution (Vegas style) but most only need jiffie resolution. If RTT is not accurate (like a retransmission) -1 is used as a flag value. When doing coarse resolution if RTT is less than a a jiffie then 0 should be returned rather than no estimate. Otherwise algorithms that expect good ack's to trigger slow start (like CUBIC Hystart) will be confused. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In commit a6c36ee6 ("bonding: change list contact to netdev@vger.kernel.org"), the mailing list for bonding developpement was changed from bonding-devel to netdev. Update the bonding documentation to reflect this change: - bonding-devel is used for usage discussions (despite the name). - netdev is used for developpement discussions. Also remove the reference to the sourceforge bonding page, which is deprecated. Signed-off-by: Nicolas de Pesloüan <nicolas.2p.debian@free.fr> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently, for N 5800 XM I get: cdc_phonet: probe of 1-6:1.10 failed with error -22 It's because phonet_header is empty. Extra altsetting looks like there: E 05 24 00 01 10 03 24 ab 05 24 06 0a 0b 04 24 fd .$....$..$....$. E 00 . I don't see the header used anywhere so just check if the phonet descriptor is there, not the structure itself.

If Spanning Tree Protocol is not enabled, there is no good reason for the bridge code to wait for the forwarding delay period before enabling the link. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to allow STP to learn about other bridges before nominating itself. The only possible impact is that when starting up a new port the bridge may flood a packet now, where previously it might have seen traffic from the other host and preseeded the forwarding table. Includes change for local variable br already available in that func. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This reverts commit 951f3512 drm/i915: Do not handle backlight combination mode specially since this commit introduced other regressions due to untouched LBPC register, e.g. the backlight dimmed after resume. In addition to the revert, this patch includes a fix for the original issue (weird backlight levels) by removing the wrong bit shift for computing the current backlight level. Also, including typo fixes (lpbc -> lbpc).

Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an unlinked file by an nfs client: client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/ client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO ... server$ df -i /export server$ rm /export/FOO (^C the tail -f) server$ df -i /export server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches server$ df -i /export the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible spurious ENOSPC. This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a compound with a putfh and a close, processed like: - putfh: look up the filehandle. The only alias found for the inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and returns that instead. - close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED. - end of the compound: release the reference to the current filehandle, and dput() the new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the unused list instead of being destroyed immediately. Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it create a new dentry. Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other callers. Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry, hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append flag. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point can call fallocate with success. In addition, we don't allow to do any unreserve operation on an append only file but only the reserve one.

Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29252 Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30462 In commit d80bc0fd ("ipv6: Always clone offlink routes.") we forced the kernel to always clone offlink routes. The reason we do that is to make sure we never bind an inetpeer to a prefixed route. The logic turned on here has existed in the tree for many years, but was always off due to a protecting CPP define. So perhaps it's no surprise that there is a logic bug here. The problem is that we canot clone a route that is already a host route (ie. has DST_HOST set). Because if we do, an identical entry already exists in the routing tree and therefore the ip6_rt_ins() call is going to fail. This sets off a series of failures and high cpu usage, because when ip6_rt_ins() fails we loop retrying this operation a few times in order to handle a race between two threads trying to clone and insert the same host route at the same time. Fix this by simply using the route as-is when DST_HOST is set. Reported-by: slash@ac.auone-net.jp Reported-by: Ernst Sjöstrand <ernstp@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
