Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary and confusing for a human reader. For example, this cast: int y; int *p = (int *)&y; I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these unnecessary casts.

The CUST_SCRATCHPAD_CSR register is used for marking if FW cleanup is needed. This is used in a crash kernel scenario. Do no use this register as it is not available for some functions. Instead, always issue an FLR when a function is probed *except* when VFs are preset (enabled in the previous PF load). Signed-off-by:

Setting the PCI MRRS to a value of 4096 (overriding the system decided value) had provided perf improvement in TX. But, IBM has provided feedback that on POWER platforms, this value is set by the system firmware, and drivers modifying this value can cause unpredictable results (like EEH errors.) So, backing off this change. On POWER7 platforms most slots, it seems, do get a MRRS of 4096. This patch reverts the following commit: "be2net: Modified PCI MaxReadReq size to 4096 bytes" commit 5a56eb10. Suggested-by:

This patch removes two useless initialisations in the stmmac_rx and stmmac_tx functions. In the former, the count variable was reset twice and in the stmmac_tx we only need to increment the dirty pointer w/o setting the entry variable. v2: review the subject and comment that was not clear in my first version.

tcp_make_synack() clones the dst, and callers release it. We can avoid two atomic operations per SYNACK if tcp_make_synack() consumes dst instead of cloning it. Signed-off-by:

Eric Dumazet authored
There is no value using sock_wmalloc() in tcp_make_synack(). A listener socket only sends SYNACK packets, they are not queued in a socket queue, only in Qdisc and device layers, so the number of in flight packets is limited in these layers. We used sock_wmalloc() with the %force parameter set to 1 to ignore socket limits anyway. This patch removes two atomic operations per SYNACK packet. Signed-off-by:

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN. With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened. Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten milliseconds. Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all SCSI drivers set these flags correctly. Signed-off-by:

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available, set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying. If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a few seconds or even several minutes.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Make syn floods consume significantly less resources by a) Not pre-COW'ing routing metrics for SYN/ACKs b) Mirroring the device queue mapping of the SYN for the SYN/ACK reply. Both from Eric Dumazet. 2) Fix calculation errors in Byte Queue Limiting, from Hiroaki SHIMODA. 3) Validate the length requested when building a paged SKB for a socket, so we don't overrun the page vector accidently. From Jason Wang. 4) When netlabel is disabled, we abort all IP option processing when we see a CIPSO option. This isn't the right thing to do, we should simply skip over it and continue processing the remaining options (if any). Fix from Paul Moore. 5) SRIOV fixes for the mellanox driver from Jack orgenstein and Marcel Apfelbaum. 6) 8139cp enables the receiver before the ring address is properly programmed, which potentially lets the device crap over random memory. Fix from Jason Wang. 7) e1000/e1000e fixes for i217 RST handling, and an improper buffer address reference in jumbo RX frame processing from Bruce Allan and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, respectively. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: fec_mpc52xx: fix timestamp filtering mcs7830: Implement link state detection e1000e: fix Rapid Start Technology support for i217 e1000: look into the page instead of skb->data for e1000_tbi_adjust_stats() r8169: call netif_napi_del at errpaths and at driver unload tcp: reflect SYN queue_mapping into SYNACK packets tcp: do not create inetpeer on SYNACK message 8139cp/8139too: terminate the eeprom access with the right opmode 8139cp: set ring address before enabling receiver cipso: handle CIPSO options correctly when NetLabel is disabled net: sock: validate data_len before allocating skb in sock_alloc_send_pskb() bql: Avoid possible inconsistent calculation. bql: Avoid unneeded limit decrement. bql: Fix POSDIFF() to integer overflow aware. net/mlx4_core: Fix obscure mlx4_cmd_box parameter in QUERY_DEV_CAP net/mlx4_core: Check port out-of-range before using in mlx4_slave_cap net/mlx4_core: Fixes for VF / Guest startup flow net/mlx4_en: Fix improper use of "port" parameter in mlx4_en_event net/mlx4_core: Fix number of EQs used in ICM initialisation net/mlx4_core: Fix the slave_id out-of-range test in mlx4_eq_int -

This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery. The main revert is d29f3ef3 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get reverted here. The list of reverted commits is: fde86d31 - tty: add lockdep annotations 8f6576ad - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace d3ca8b64 - pty: Fix lock inversion b1d679af - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup abcefe5f - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock() fd11b42e - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call d29f3ef3 - tty_lock: Localise the lock The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver that got removed in the meantime.

Pull vfs fix and a fix from the signal changes for frv from Al Viro. The __kernel_nlink_t for powerpc got scrogged because 64-bit powerpc actually depended on the default "unsigned long", while 32-bit powerpc had an explicit override to "unsigned short". Al didn't notice, and made both of them be the unsigned short. The frv signal fix is fallout from simplifying the do_notify_resume() code, and leaving an extra parenthesis. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: powerpc: Fix size of st_nlink on 64bit * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: frv: Remove bogus closing parenthesis
