Use a naming based on vtime as a prefix for virtual based cputime accounting APIs: - account_system_vtime() -> vtime_account() - account_switch_vtime() -> vtime_task_switch() It makes it easier to allow for further declension such as vtime_account_system(), vtime_account_idle(), ... if we want to find out the context we account to from generic code. This also make it better to know on which subsystem these APIs refer to.

There is no load_balancer to be selected now. It just sets the state of the nohz tick to stop. So rename the function, pass the 'cpu' as a parameter and then remove the useless call from tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick().

Commit f319da0c ("sched: Fix load avg vs cpu-hotplug") was an incomplete fix: In particular, the problem is that at the point it calls calc_load_migrate() nr_running := 1 (the stopper thread), so move the call to CPU_DEAD where we're sure that nr_running := 0. Also note that we can call calc_load_migrate() without serialization, we know the state of rq is stable since its cpu is dead, and we modify the global state using appropriate atomic ops.

Rabik and Paul reported two different issues related to the same few lines of code. Rabik's issue is that the nr_uninterruptible migration code is wrong in that he sees artifacts due to this (Rabik please do expand in more detail). Paul's issue is that this code as it stands relies on us using stop_machine() for unplug, we all would like to remove this assumption so that eventually we can remove this stop_machine() usage altogether. The only reason we'd have to migrate nr_uninterruptible is so that we could use for_each_online_cpu() loops in favour of for_each_possible_cpu() loops, however since nr_uninterruptible() is the only such loop and its using possible lets not bother at all. The problem Rabik sees is (probably) caused by the fact that by migrating nr_uninterruptible we screw rq->calc_load_active for both rqs involved. So don't bother with fancy migration schemes (meaning we now have to keep using for_each_possible_cpu()) and instead fold any nr_active delta after we migrate all tasks away to make sure we don't have any skewed nr_active accounting.

Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to timespec_valid in commit 4e8b1452 ("time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid. Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would never expire, which is valid. This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes internal checking to use this more strict function.

Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled. In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such list. This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension. Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions to allocate this area on demand.

When tearing down a net namespace, ipv4 mr_table structures are freed without first deactivating their timers. This can result in a crash in run_timer_softirq. This patch mimics the corresponding behaviour in ipv6. Locking and synchronization seem to be adequate. We are about to kfree mrt, so existing code should already make sure that no other references to mrt are pending or can be created by incoming traffic. The functions invoked here do not cause new references to mrt or other race conditions to be created. Invoking del_timer_sync guarantees that ipmr_expire_timer is inactive. Both ipmr_expire_process (whose completion we may have to wait in del_timer_sync) and mroute_clean_tables internally use mfc_unres_lock or other synchronizations when needed, and they both only modify mrt.

With a low enough MSS on the link partner and TSO enabled locally, the networking stack can periodically send a very large (e.g. 64KB) TCP message for which the driver will attempt to use more Tx descriptors than are available by default in the Tx ring. This is due to a workaround in the code that imposes a limit of only 4 MSS-sized segments per descriptor which appears to be a carry-over from the older e1000 driver and may be applicable only to some older PCI or PCIx parts which are not supported in e1000e. When the driver gets a message that is too large to fit across the configured number of Tx descriptors, it stops the upper stack from queueing any more and gets stuck in this state. After a timeout, the upper stack assumes the adapter is hung and calls the driver to reset it. Remove the unnecessary limitation of using up to only 4 MSS-sized segments per Tx descriptor, and put in a hard failure test to catch when attempting to check for message sizes larger than would fit in the whole Tx ring. Refactor the remaining logic that limits the size of data per Tx descriptor from a seemingly arbitrary 8KB to a limit based on the dynamic size of the Tx packet buffer as described in the hardware specification. Also, fix the logic in the check for space in the Tx ring for the next largest possible packet after the current one has been successfully queued for transmit, and use the appropriate defines for default ring sizes in e1000_probe instead of magic values. This issue goes back to the introduction of e1000e in 2.6.24 when it was split off from e1000.

Commit - "b852b720 gianfar: fix bug caused by 87c288c6" disables by default (on mac init) the hw vlan tag insertion. The "features" flags were not updated to reflect this, and "ethtool -K" shows tx-vlan-offload to be "on" by default.
