* enic: bug fix: make the set/get netlink VF_PORT support symmetricalScott Feldman2010-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | To make get/set netlink VF_PORT truly symmetrical, we need to keep track of what items are set and only return those items on get. Previously, the driver wasn't differentiating between a set of attr with a NULL string, for example, and not setting the attr at all. We only want to return the NULL string if the attr was actually set with a NULL string. Otherwise, don't return the attr. Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman <scofeldm@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* bnx2: Fix hang during rmmod bnx2.Michael Chan2010-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The regression is caused by: commit 4327ba435a56ada13eedf3eb332e583c7a0586a9 bnx2: Fix netpoll crash. If ->open() and ->close() are called multiple times, the same napi structs will be added to dev->napi_list multiple times, corrupting the dev->napi_list. This causes free_netdev() to hang during rmmod. We fix this by calling netif_napi_del() during ->close(). Also, bnx2_init_napi() must not be in the __devinit section since it is called by ->open().

* xfrm: force a dst reference in __xfrm_route_forward()Eric Dumazet2010-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Packets going through __xfrm_route_forward() have a not refcounted dst entry, since we enabled a noref forwarding path. xfrm_lookup() might incorrectly release this dst entry. It's a bit late to make invasive changes in xfrm_lookup(), so lets force a refcount in this path. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Correct sk_forward_alloc handling for error_queue would need to use a backlog of frames that softirq handler could not deliver because socket is owned by user thread. Or extend backlog processing to be able to process normal and error packets. Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is what I implemented in this patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is meant to improve the performance of SLUB by moving the local kmem_cache_node lock into it's own cacheline separate from kmem_cache. This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled. On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/ hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average. I suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.

In that case, the optimistic spinning code can get us into a situation where instead of going to sleep, A will spin waiting for B who is spinning waiting for A, and the only way out of that loop is the need_resched() test in mutex_spin_on_owner(). This patch fixes it by completely disabling spinning if we own the BKL. This adds one more detail to the extensive list of reasons why it's a bad idea for kernel code to be holding the BKL.

But the splice code has no business in doing this work, it should be done by the ring buffer. With the latest changes for recording lost events, the splice code gets it wrong anyway.

Since the 'commit' includes the padding at the end of a page a "real_end" variable was used to keep track of the end not including the padding. If events were lost, the reader can place the count of events in the padded area if there is enough room. The bug this patch fixes is that when we fill the page we do not reset the real_end variable, and if the writer had wrapped a few times, the real_end would be incorrect. This patch simply resets the real_end if the page was filled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

This allows populating the fuse filesystem's cache without ever touching the page contents, i.e. zero copy read capability. The following steps are performed when trying to move a page into the page cache: - buf->ops->confirm() to make sure the new page is uptodate - buf->ops->steal() to try to remove the new page from it's previous place - remove_from_page_cache() on the old page - add_to_page_cache_locked() on the new page If any of the above steps fail (non fatally) then the code falls back to copying the page. In particular ->steal() will fail if there are external references (other than the page cache and the pipe buffer) to the page. Also since the remove_from_page_cache() + add_to_page_cache_locked() are non-atomic it is possible that the page cache is repopulated in between the two and add_to_page_cache_locked() will fail. This could be fixed by creating a new atomic replace_page_cache_page() function. fuse_readpages_end() needed to be reworked so it works even if page->mapping is NULL for some or all pages which can happen if the add_to_page_cache_locked() failed. A number of sanity checks were added to make sure the stolen pages don't have weird flags set, etc... These could be moved into generic splice/steal code.

The semantics of using splice() are: 1) buffer the message header and data in a temporary pipe 2) with a *single* splice() call move the message from the temporary pipe to the fuse device The READ reply message has the most interesting use for this, since now the data from an arbitrary file descriptor (which could be a regular file, a block device or a socket) can be tranferred into the fuse device without having to go through a userspace buffer. It will also allow zero copy moving of pages. One caveat is that the protocol on the fuse device requires the length of the whole message to be written into the header. But the length of the data transferred into the temporary pipe may not be known in advance. The current library implementation works around this by using vmplice to write the header and modifying the header after splicing the data into the pipe (error handling omitted): struct fuse_out_header out; iov.iov_base = &out; iov.iov_len = sizeof(struct fuse_out_header); vmsplice(pip[1], &iov, 1, 0); len = splice(input_fd, input_offset, pip[1], NULL, len, 0); /* retrospectively modify the header: */ out.len = len + sizeof(struct fuse_out_header); splice(pip[0], NULL, fuse_chan_fd(req->ch), NULL, out.len, flags); This works since vmsplice only saves a pointer to the data, it does not copy the data itself. Since pipes are currently limited to 16 pages and messages need to be spliced atomically, the length of the data is limited to 15 pages (or 60kB for 4k pages).

| | * | | | fuse: get page reference for readpagesMiklos Szeredi2010-05-25

Not acquiring a reference didn't seem to cause any trouble since the page is locked and will not be kicked out of the page cache during the read. However the following patches will want to remove the page from the cache so a separate ref is needed. Making the reference in req->pages explicit also makes the code easier to understand.
