Now every architecture supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra) - Generic support for 'relaxed atomics': - _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return() - atomic_read_acquire() - atomic_set_release() This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon) - Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs, by introducing a new one: DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name); DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name); which define a key of different types with an initial true/false value. Then allow: static_branch_likely() static_branch_unlikely() to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the case. To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra) - Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron) - qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long) - small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso) - ... and misc other changes" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (63 commits) jump_label/x86: Work around asm build bug on older/backported GCCs locking, ARM, atomics: Define our SMP atomics in terms of _relaxed() operations locking, include/llist: Use linux/atomic.h instead of asm/cmpxchg.h locking/qrwlock: Make use of _{acquire|release|relaxed}() atomics locking/qrwlock: Implement queue_write_unlock() using smp_store_release() locking/lockref: Remove homebrew cmpxchg64_relaxed() macro definition locking, asm-generic: Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for 'atomic_long_t' locking, asm-generic: Rework atomic-long.h to avoid bulk code duplication locking/atomics: Add _{acquire|release|relaxed}() variants of some atomic operations locking, compiler.h: Cast away attributes in the WRITE_ONCE() magic locking/static_keys: Make verify_keys() static jump label, locking/static_keys: Update docs locking/static_keys: Provide a selftest jump_label: Provide a self-test s390/uaccess, locking/static_keys: employ static_branch_likely() x86, tsc, locking/static_keys: Employ static_branch_likely() locking/static_keys: Add selftest locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface locking/static_keys: Rework update logic locking/static_keys: Add static_key_{en,dis}able() helpers ...

By simply making use of the existing fault-injection machinery, we can improve this situation, allowing generating artificial uaddress faults and deadlock scenarios. Of course, when this is disabled in production systems, the overhead for failure checks is practically zero -- so this is very cheap at the same time. Future work would be nice to now enhance trinity to make use of this. There is a special tunable 'ignore-private', which can filter out private futexes. Given the tsk->make_it_fail filter and this option, pi futexes can be narrowed down pretty closely.

Major distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3 filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable pages are required is there only because of jbd.

At Google, we found it was better applying a different ratio while in Congestion Avoidance phase. This ratio was set to 120 %. We've used the normal tcp_in_slow_start() helper for a while, then tuned the condition to select the conservative ratio as soon as cwnd >= ssthresh/2 : - After cwnd reduction, it is safer to ramp up more slowly, as we approach optimal cwnd. - Initial ramp up (ssthresh == INFINITY) still allows doubling cwnd every other RTT.

It is then possible to express that a port should be used to reach more than one switch and the switch maybe more than one hop away.

The driver uses NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE for neigh adds and updates, but there is no event when the neigh is removed from the device (such as when the device goes admin down). This patches hooks ndo_neigh_destroy so the driver can know when a neigh is removed from the device. In response, the driver will purge the neigh entry from its internal tbl. I didn't find an in-tree users of ndo_neigh_destroy, so I'm not sure if this ndo is vestigial or if there are out-of-tree users. In any case, it does what I need here. An alternative design would be to generate NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE event when neigh is being destroyed, setting state to NUD_NONE so driver knows neigh entry is dead.

But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition. RFC 4861, 6.3.4. Processing Received Router Advertisements A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time, and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is unspecified. In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the host should continue using whatever value it is already using. If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set its CurHopLimit variable to the received value. So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC standards.

The decision is based on the presence of the "fixed-link" node and on a will of the driver's authors. This caused a regression recently, when mvneta driver suddenly started to use the in-band status for auto-negotiation on fixed links. It appears the auto-negotiation may not work when expected by the MAC driver. Sebastien Rannou explains: << Yes, I confirm that my HW does not generate an in-band status. AFAIK, it's a PHY that aggregates 4xSGMIIs to 1xQSGMII ; the MAC side of the PHY (with inband status) is connected to the switch through QSGMII, and in this context we are on the media side of the PHY. >> https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/10/206 This patch introduces the new string property 'managed' that allows the user to set the management type explicitly.

It is okay to support the specific filters in SIOCSHWTSTAMP by upscaling them to the generic filters. Alex Duyck provides a igb patch to pull the time stamp from the fragment before it gets added to the skb, to avoid a possible issue in which the fragment can possibly be less than IGB_RX_HDR_LEN due to the time stamp being pulled after the copybreak check. Also provides a ixgbevf patch to fold the ixgbevf_pull_tail() call into ixgbevf_add_rx_frag(), which gives the advantage that the fragment does not have to be modified after it is added to the skb. Fan provides patches for ixgbe/ixgbevf to set the receive hash type based on receive descriptor RSS type.

NVMe SSD). - document DM RAID 4/5/6's discard support [ I did not pull the slab changes, which weren't appropriate for this tree, and weren't obviously the right thing to do anyway. At the very least they need some discussion and explanation before getting merged. Because not pulling the actual tagged commit but doing a partial pull instead, this merge commit thus also obviously is missing the git signature from the original tag ] * tag 'dm-4.3-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm cache: fix use after freeing migrations dm cache: small cleanups related to deferred prison cell cleanup dm cache: fix leaking of deferred bio prison cells dm raid: document RAID 4/5/6 discard support dm stats: report precise_timestamps and histogram in @stats_list output dm thin: optimize async discard submission dm snapshot: don't invalidate on-disk image on snapshot write overflow dm: remove unlikely() before IS_ERR() dm: do not override error code returned from dm_get_device() dm: test return value for DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED dm verity: remove unused mempool dm cache: move wake_waker() from free_migrations() to where it is needed dm btree remove: remove unused function get_nr_entries() dm btree: remove unused "dm_block_t root" parameter in btree_split_sibling() dm cache policy smq: change the mutex to a spinlock

We used to rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we store the error in the bio itself. - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64. - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again, from Jeff Moyer. This caused performance regressions in various tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size instead. - Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me. Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down. We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX sectors. - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch. - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot path). From Kent. - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it faster. From Ming Lei. - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race condition. - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward for a while, and testing them. Ming also did a few fixes around that. - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph. - Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar" * 'for-4.3/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (26 commits) blk: Fix bio_io_vec index when checking bvec gaps block: Replace SG_GAPS with new queue limits mask block: bump BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS to 2560 Revert "block: remove artifical max_hw_sectors cap" blk-mq: fix race between timeout and freeing request blk-mq: fix buffer overflow when reading sysfs file of 'pending' Documentation: update notes in biovecs about arbitrarily sized bios block: remove bio_get_nr_vecs() fs: use helper bio_add_page() instead of open coding on bi_io_vec block: kill merge_bvec_fn() completely md/raid5: get rid of bio_fits_rdev() md/raid5: split bio for chunk_aligned_read block: remove split code in blkdev_issue_{discard,write_same} btrfs: remove bio splitting and merge_bvec_fn() calls bcache: remove driver private bio splitting code block: simplify bio_add_page() block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios blk-cgroup: Drop unlikely before IS_ERR(_OR_NULL) block: don't access bio->bi_error after bio_put() block: shrink struct bio down to 2 cache lines again ...
