This is intended for use in loops which read data protected by RCU and may have a large number of iterations. Such an example is dumping the list of connections known to IPVS: ip_vs_conn_array() and ip_vs_conn_seq_next(). The benefits are for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y where we save CPU cycles by moving rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock out of large loops but still allowing the current task to be preempted after every loop iteration for the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n case. The call to cond_resched() is not needed when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y. Thanks to Paul E. McKenney for explaining this and for the final version that checks the context with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y for all possible configurations. The function can be empty in the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU case, rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock are not needed in this case because the task can be preempted on indication from scheduler. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for catching this and for his help in trying a solution that changes __might_sleep. Initial cond_resched_rcu_lock() function suggested by Eric Dumazet.

The percpu untracked ct are not currently used for XT_CT_NOTRACK. xt_ct_tg_check()/xt_ct_target() provides a single ct. Thats not optimal as the ct->ct_general.use cache line will bounce among cpus. Use the intended [1] thing : xt_ct_target() should select the percpu object.

If a GSO packet has a length above tbf burst limit, the packet is currently silently dropped. Current way to handle this is to set the device in non GSO/TSO mode, or setting high bursts, and its sub optimal. We can actually segment too big GSO packets, and send individual segments as tbf parameters allow, allowing for better interoperability.

Currently the SMSC911X driver may only be built for a specific set of architectures, being limited to do so by a Kconfig depends line. This means that if a platform wishes to use the driver, its architecture must be added to the list explicitly, introducing pointless churn. This may have been due to the driver's use of the {read,write}s{b,w,l} functions, which have since been replaced with the more standard io{read,write}{8,16,32}_rep. We can instead depend on HAS_IOMEM, which should prevent build issues while allowing the driver to be built for currently unlisted architectures, including x86 and arm64. This patch removes the explicit list of architectures from the driver's depend line, and replaces it with a dependency on HAS_IOMEM. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: David S.

Simon Horman authored
This is a generic solution to resolve a specific problem that I have observed. If the encapsulation of an skb changes then ability to offload checksums may also change. In particular it may be necessary to perform checksumming in software. An example of such a case is where a non-GRE packet is received but is to be encapsulated and transmitted as GRE. Another example relates to my proposed support for for packets that are non-MPLS when received but MPLS when transmitted. The cost of this change is that the value of the csum variable may be checked when it previously was not. In the case where the csum variable is true this is pure overhead. In the case where the csum variable is false it leads to software checksumming, which I believe also leads to correct checksums in transmitted packets for the cases described above. Further analysis: This patch relies on the return value of can_checksum_protocol() being correct and in turn the return value of skb_network_protocol(), used to provide the protocol parameter of can_checksum_protocol(), being correct. It also relies on the features passed to skb_segment() and in turn to can_checksum_protocol() being correct. I believe that this problem has not been observed for VLANs because it appears that almost all drivers, the exception being xgbe, set vlan_features such that that the checksum offload support for VLAN packets is greater than or equal to that of non-VLAN packets. I wonder if the code in xgbe may be an oversight and the hardware does support checksumming of VLAN packets. If so it may be worth updating the vlan_features of the driver as this patch will force such checksums to be performed in software rather than hardware.

Currently we arm the expire timer when the mdb entry is added, however, this causes problem when there is no querier sent out after that. So we should only arm the timer when a corresponding query is received, as suggested by Herbert. And he also mentioned "if there is no querier then group subscriptions shouldn't expire. There has to be at least one querier in the network for this thing to work. Otherwise it just degenerates into a non-snooping switch, which is OK."

Quote from Adam: "If it is believed that the use of 0.0.0.0 as the IP address is what is causing strange behaviour on other devices then is there a good reason that a bridge rather than a router shouldn't be the active querier? If not then using the bridge IP address and having the querier enabled by default may be a reasonable solution (provided that our querier obeys the election rules and shuts up if it sees a query from a lower IP address that isn't 0.0.0.0). Just because a device is the elected querier for IGMP doesn't appear to mean it is required to perform any other routing functions." And introduce a new troggle for it, as suggested by Herbert.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to e1000e, igb and ixgbe. Bruce Allan provide 2 minor cleanups for e1000e to resolve whitespace issues and build warnings about unused parameters. Carolyn provides a couple of fixes for igb, one being a fix for a possible panic when the interface is down and receive traffic arrives. The second fix resolves an issue on newer parts which have multiple checksum fields and set_ethtool was only checking to update the first checksum of the NVM image. Akeem provides majority of the changes in this patch set. Akeem provides a fix for e1000e on an issue reported from the community to resolve the issue of unlocking swflag_mutex for 82574 and 82583 devices even if the hardware semaphore was successfully acquired. The other patches from Akeem are against igb, where he adds support SFP module discovery, LED blink mechanism for devices using cathodes, LED support for i210/i211 parts and cleanup of a i2c function which was not being used. Matthew provides an update for igb to support a more accurate check for a PTP RX hang. Amir provides a patch for ixgbe to set the software prio_tc values at initialization to the hardware setting to remove the need to reset the device at the first time we call ixgbe_dcbnl_ieee_setets. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
