* [IPV6]: Added GSO support for TCPv6Herbert Xu2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>. His original description is: This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from "dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction. This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6 will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO. In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't get TSO packets created by TCP layer. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet. SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature. UFO is supported over IPv6 also The following table shows there is significant improvement in throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo. -------------------------------------------------- | | 1500 | 9600 | | ------------------|-------------------| | | thru CPU | thru CPU | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO OFF | 2.00 5.5% id | 5.66 20.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO ON | 2.63 78.0 id | 5.67 39.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: Generalise TSO-specific bits from skb_setup_capsHerbert Xu2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch generalises the TSO-specific bits from sk_setup_caps by adding the sk_gso_type member to struct sock. This makes sk_setup_caps generic so that it can be used by TCPv6 or UFO. The only catch is that whoever uses this must provide a GSO implementation for their protocol which I think is a fair deal :) For now UFO continues to live without a GSO implementation which is OK since it doesn't use the sock caps field at the moment.

| | | | | | | | | | | | When a packet without any chunks is received, the newconntrack variable in sctp_packet contains an out of bounds value that is used to look up an pointer from the array of timeouts, which is then dereferenced, resulting in a crash.

* [TG3]: Add TSO workaround using GSOMichael Chan2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use GSO to workaround a rare TSO bug on some chips. This hardware bug may be triggered when the TSO header size is greater than 80 bytes. When this condition is detected in a TSO packet, the driver will use GSO to segment the packet to workaround the hardware bug. Thanks to Juergen Kreileder <jk@blackdown.de> for reporting the problem and collecting traces to help debug the problem.

* [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose(), fix nfsd4 ↵J. Bruce Fields2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | permissions problem In the typical v2/v3 case the only new filehandles used as arguments to operations are filehandles taken directly off the wire, which don't get dentries until fh_verify() is called. But in v4 the filehandles that are arguments to operations were often created by previous operations (putrootfh, lookup, etc.) using fh_compose, which sets the dentry in the filehandle without calling nfsd_setuser(). This also means that, for example, if filesystem B is mounted on filesystem A, and filesystem A is exported without root-squashing, then a client can bypass the rootsquashing on B using a compound that starts at a filehandle in A, crosses into B using lookups, and then does stuff in B.

* [PATCH] knfsd: ignore ref_fh when crossing a mountpointNeilBrown2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nfsd tries to return to a client the same sort of filehandle as was used by the client. This removes some filehandle aliasing issues and means that a server upgrade followed by a downgrade will not confused clients not restarted during that time. However when crossing a mountpoint, the filehandle used for one filesystem doesn't provide any useful information on what sort of filehandle should be used on the other, and can provide misleading information. So if the reference filehandle is on a different filesystem to the one being generated, ignore it.

* [PATCH] knfsd: remove noise about filehandle being uptodateNeilBrown2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a perfectly valid situation where fh_update gets called on an already uptodate filehandle - in nfsd_create_v3 where a CREATE_UNCHECKED finds an existing file and wants to just set the size. We could possible optimise out the call in that case, but the only harm involved is that fh_update prints a warning, so it is easier to remove the warning.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove add_mc_to_global_list(). In next patch, this function will be reimplemented with different semantics. 1 Reimplement add_mc_to_global_list() with semantics that allow the caller to determine the ID number for a mem_ctl_info structure. Then modify edac_mc_add_mc() so that the caller specifies the ID number for the new mem_ctl_info structure. Platform-specific code should be able to assign the ID numbers in a platform-specific manner. For instance, on Opteron it makes sense to have the ID of the mem_ctl_info structure match the ID of the node that the memory controller belongs to. 2 Modify callers of edac_mc_add_mc() so they use the new semantics.

* [PATCH] cond_resched() fixAndrew Morton2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug identified by Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com>: If the system is in state SYSTEM_BOOTING, and need_resched() is true, cond_resched() returns true even though it didn't reschedule. Consequently need_resched() remains true and JBD locks up. Fix that by teaching cond_resched() to only return true if it really did call schedule(). cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq() have a problem too. If we're in SYSTEM_BOOTING state and need_resched() is true, these functions will drop the lock and will then try to call schedule(), but the SYSTEM_BOOTING state will prevent schedule() from being called. So on return, need_resched() will still be true, but cond_resched_lock() has to return 1 to tell the caller that the lock was dropped. The caller will probably lock up. Bottom line: if these functions dropped the lock, they _must_ call schedule() to clear need_resched(). Make it so. Also, uninline __cond_resched(). It's largeish, and slowpath.

* [PATCH] uml: unregister useless console when it's not neededJeff Dike2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -mm in combination with an FC5 init started dying with 'stderr=1' because init didn't like the lack of /dev/console and exited. The problem was that the stderr console, which is intended to dump printk output to the terminal before the regular console is initialized, isn't a tty, and so can't make /dev/console operational. However, since it is registered first, the normal console, when it is registered, doesn't become the preferred console, and isn't attached to /dev/console. Thus, /dev/console is never operational. This patch makes the stderr console unregister itself in an initcall, which is late enough that the normal console is registered. When that happens, the normal console will become the preferred console and will be able to run /dev/console.

* [PATCH] add smp_setup_processor_id()Andrew Morton2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, smp_processor_id() isn't necessarily set up until setup_arch(). But it's used in boot_cpu_init() and printk() and perhaps in other places, prior to setup_arch() being called. So provide a new smp_setup_processor_id() which is called before anything else, wire it up for Voyager (which boots on a CPU other than #0, and broke).

* [PATCH] SELinux: Add security hook definition for getioprio and insert hooksDavid Quigley2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new security hook definition for the sys_ioprio_get operation. At present, the SELinux hook function implementation for this hook is identical to the getscheduler implementation but a separate hook is introduced to allow this check to be specialized in the future if necessary. This patch also creates a helper function get_task_ioprio which handles the access check in addition to retrieving the ioprio value for the task.

* [PATCH] SELinux: add security hook call to kill_proc_info_as_uidDavid Quigley2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a call to the extended security_task_kill hook introduced by the prior patch to the kill_proc_info_as_uid function so that these signals can be properly mediated by security modules. It also updates the existing hook call in check_kill_permission.
