      net: frag queue per hash bucket locking · 19952cc4
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      This patch implements per hash bucket locking for the frag queue
      hash.  This removes two write locks, and the only remaining write
      lock is for protecting hash rebuild.  This essentially reduce the
      readers-writer lock to a rebuild lock.
      
      This patch is part of "net: frag performance followup"
       http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/263644
      of which two patches have already been accepted:
      
      Same test setup as previous:
       (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/257155)
       Two 10G interfaces, on seperate NUMA nodes, are under-test, and uses
       Ethernet flow-control.  A third interface is used for generating the
       DoS attack (with trafgen).
      
      Notice, I have changed the frag DoS generator script to be more
      efficient/deadly.  Before it would only hit one RX queue, now its
      sending packets causing multi-queue RX, due to "better" RX hashing.
      
      Test types summary (netperf UDP_STREAM):
       Test-20G64K     == 2x10G with 65K fragments
       Test-20G3F      == 2x10G with 3x fragments (3*1472 bytes)
       Test-20G64K+DoS == Same as 20G64K with frag DoS
       Test-20G3F+DoS  == Same as 20G3F  with frag DoS
       Test-20G64K+MQ  == Same as 20G64K with Multi-Queue frag DoS
       Test-20G3F+MQ   == Same as 20G3F  with Multi-Queue frag DoS
      
      When I rebased this-patch(03) (on top of net-next commit a210576c) and
      removed the _bh spinlock, I saw a performance regression.  BUT this
      was caused by some unrelated change in-between.  See tests below.
      
      Test (A) is what I reported before for patch-02, accepted in commit 1b5ab0de.
      Test (B) verifying-retest of commit 1b5ab0de corrospond to patch-02.
      Test (C) is what I reported before for this-patch
      
      Test (D) is net-next master HEAD (commit a210576c), which reveals some
      (unknown) performance regression (compared against test (B)).
      Test (D) function as a new base-test.

      Test (E) and (F) is this-patch(03), with(V1) and without(V2) the _bh spinlocks.
      
      I cannot explain the slow down for 20G64K (but its an artificial
      "lab-test" so I'm not worried).  But the other results does show
      improvements.  And test (E) "with _bh" version is slightly better.

      - By analysis from Hannes Frederic Sowa and Eric Dumazet, we don't
        need the spinlock _bh versions, as Netfilter currently does a
        local_bh_disable() before entering inet_fragment.

      net: fix smatch warnings inside datagram_poll · 8facd5fb
      Jacob Keller authored
      Commit 7d4c04fc ("net: add option to enable
      error queue packets waking select") has an issue due to operator precedence
      causing the bit-wise OR to bind to the sock_flags call instead of the result of
      the terniary conditional. This fixes the *_poll functions to work properly. The
      old code results in "mask |= POLLPRI" instead of what was intended, which is to
      only include POLLPRI when the socket option is enabled.

      drm: correctly restore mappings if drm_open fails · a8ec3a66
      Ilija Hadzic authored
      If first drm_open fails, the error-handling path will
      incorrectly restore inode's mapping to NULL. This can
      cause the crash later on. Fix by separately storing
      away mapping pointers that drm_open can touch and
      restore each from its own respective variable if the
      call fails.

      of_get_mac_address() and of_get_phy_mode() are only provided if OF_NET
      is configured. While most callers check for the define, not all do, and those
      who do require #ifdef around the code. For those who don't, the missing check
      can result in errors such as
      
      arch/powerpc/sysdev/tsi108_dev.c:107:3: error: implicit declaration of

      Provide empty functions if OF_NET is not configured.
      This is safe because all callers do check the return values.

      The VMCI context ID of a virtual machine may change at any time. There
      is a VMCI event which signals this but datagrams may be processed before
      this is handled. It is therefore necessary to be flexible about the
      destination context ID of any datagrams received. (It can be assumed to
      be correct because it is provided by the hypervisor.) The context ID on
      existing sockets should be updated to reflect how the hypervisor is
      currently referring to the system.

      net IPv6 : Fix broken IPv6 routing table after loopback down-up · 25fb6ca4
      Balakumaran Kannan authored
      IPv6 Routing table becomes broken once we do ifdown, ifup of the loopback(lo)
      interface. After down-up, routes of other interface's IPv6 addresses through
      'lo' are lost.
      
      IPv6 addresses assigned to all interfaces are routed through 'lo' for internal
      communication. Once 'lo' is down, those routing entries are removed from routing
      table. But those removed entries are not being re-created properly when 'lo' is
      brought up. So IPv6 addresses of other interfaces becomes unreachable from the
      same machine. Also this breaks communication with other machines because of
      NDISC packet processing failure.
      
      This patch fixes this issue by reading all interface's IPv6 addresses and adding
      them to IPv6 routing table while bringing up 'lo'.

      ipconfig: add informative timeout messages while waiting for carrier · 5e404cd6
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      Commit 3fb72f1e ("ipconfig wait
      for carrier") added a "wait for carrier on at least one interface"
      policy, with a worst case maximum wait of two minutes.
      
      However, if you encounter this, you won't get any feedback from
      the console as to the nature of what is going on.  You just see
      the booting process hang for two minutes and then continue.
      
      Here we add a message so the user knows what is going on, and
      hence can take action to rectify the situation (e.g. fix network
      cable or whatever.)  After the 1st 10s pause, output now begins
      that looks like this:
      
      	Waiting up to 110 more seconds for network.
      	Waiting up to 100 more seconds for network.
      	Waiting up to 90 more seconds for network.
      	Waiting up to 80 more seconds for network.
      	...
      
      Since most systems will have no problem getting link/carrier in the
      1st 10s, the only people who will see these messages are people with
      genuine issues that need to be resolved.
