* SubmittingPatches: document the use of gitJosh Triplett2014-04-031-15/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the mechanical portions of SubmittingPatches exist to help patch submitters replicate the output of git. Mention this explicitly, both as a reminder that git will help with this process, and as signposting to let git users know what they can safely skip.

Add a note to that effect, along with a recommendation to use the https://lkml.kernel.org/ redirector. Portions based on text from git's SubmittingPatches.

* SubmittingPatches: add style recommendation to use imperative descriptionsJosh Triplett2014-04-031-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most commit messages use this style, and the recommendation frequently comes up in discussions (especially in response to patches that don't use it), but that recommendation doesn't actually appear anywhere in Documentation. Add this style guideline to SubmittingPatches, using the description from git's SubmittingPatches.

* drop_caches: add some documentation and info messageDave Hansen2014-04-031-6/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system running in "tip top shape". Perhaps adding some kernel documentation will increase the amount of accurate data on its use. If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs. Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate "workaround" to limit the size of the caches. On the contrary, there have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of cache dropping. Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use. Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

* mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cacheJohannes Weiner2014-04-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of wireless updates intended for 3.15! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This has a whole bunch of bugfixes for things that went into -next previously as well as some other bugfixes I didn't want to rush into 3.14 at this point. The rest of it is some cleanups and a few small features, the biggest of which is probably Janusz's regulatory DFS CAC time code." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "One more pull request to 3.15. This is mostly and bug fix pull request, it contains several fixes and clean up all over the tree, plus some small new features." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "This is the NFC pull request for 3.15. With this one we have: - Support for ISO 15693 a.k.a. NFC vicinity a.k.a. Type 5 tags. ISO 15693 are long range (1 - 2 meters) vicinity tags/cards. The kernel now supports those through the NFC netlink and digital APIs. - Support for TI's trf7970a chipset. This chipset relies on the NFC digital layer and the driver currently supports type 2, 4A and 5 tags. - Support for NXP's pn544 secure firmare download. The pn544 C3 chipsets relies on a different firmware download protocal than the C2 one. We now support both and use the right one depending on the version we detect at runtime. - Support for 4A tags from the NFC digital layer. - A bunch of cleanups and minor fixes from Axel Lin and Thierry Escande." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "We were sending a host command while the mutex wasn't held. This led to hard-to-catch races." And... "I have a fix for a "merge damage" which is not really a merge damage: it enables scheduled scan which has been disabled in wireless.git. Since you merged wireless.git into wireless-next.git, this can now be fixed in wireless-next.git. Besides this, Alex made a workaround for a hardware bug. This fix allows us to consume less power in S3. Arik and Eliad continue to work on D0i3 which is a run-time power saving feature. Eliad also contributes a few bits to the rate scaling logic to which Eyal adds his own contribution. Avri dives deep in the power code - newer firmware will allow to enable power save in newer scenarios. Johannes made a few clean-ups. I have the regular amount of BT Coex boring stuff. I disable uAPSD since we identified firmware bugs that cause packet loss. One thing that do stand out is the udev event that we now send when the FW asserts. I hope it will allow us to debug the FW more easily." Also included is one last iwlwifi pull for a build breakage fix... For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Michal now did some optimisations and was able to improve throughput by 100 Mbps on our MIPS based AP135 platform. Chun-Yeow added some workarounds to be able to better use ad-hoc mode. Ben improved log messages and added support for MSDU chaining. And, as usual, also some smaller fixes." Beyond that... Andrea Merello continues his rtl8180 refactoring, in preparation for a long-awaited rtl8187 driver. We get a new driver (rsi) for the RS9113 chip, from Fariya Fatima. And, of course, we get the usual round of updates for ath9k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, wil6210, etc. as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

However creating an alias without specifying the minor doesn't allow us to create the node ahead, triggerring module auto-load when it's first accessed. Starting with depmod from kmod 16 we started to warn if there's a devname alias without specifying the major and minor. Let's do the same done for uhid, kvm, fuse and others, specifying a fixed minor. In systems with systemd as the init the following will happen: on early boot systemd will call "kmod static-nodes" to read /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname and then create the nodes. When first accessed these "dead" nodes will trigger the module loading.

It's unnecessary to try to do this there since we check the checksum before reading the RxRPC header from the packet. (2) Fix to prevent the sending of an ABORT packet in response to another ABORT packet and inducing a storm. (3) Fix UDP MTU calculation from parsing ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED packets where we don't handle the ICMP packet not specifying an MTU size. And development patches: (4) Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC parameters, specifically various delays pertaining to ACK generation, the time before we resend a packet for which we don't receive an ACK, the maximum time a call is permitted to live and the amount of time transport, connection and dead call information is cached. (5) Improve ACK packet production by adjusting the handling of ACK_REQUESTED packets, ignoring the MORE_PACKETS flag, delaying the production of otherwise immediate ACK_IDLE packets and delaying all ACK_IDLE production (barring the call termination) to half a second. (6) Add more sysctl parameters to expose the Rx window size, the maximum packet size that we're willing to receive and the number of jumbo rxrpc packets we're willing to handle in a single UDP packet. (7) Request ACKs on alternate DATA packets so that the other side doesn't wait till we fill up the Tx window. (8) Use a RCU hash table to look up the rxrpc_call for an incoming packet rather than stepping through a hierarchy involving several spinlocks. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

However we still can use arp_validation in loadbalance with several other configs, per example with arp_validate == 2 for backup with one broadcast domain, without the switch(es) doing any balancing - this way we'd be (a bit more) sure that the slave is up. So, enable it to let users decide which one works/suits them best. Also correct the mode limitation from BOND_OPT_ARP_VALIDATE.

The current sysfs stubs allow on-the-fly updates of these registers (the locking measures are useless and only add unecessary code). Changing these registers is discouraged. Only the default values will be used instead. Moreover, the stashing (ATTRELI) configuration options were effectively disabled (didn't get to the hw anyway if changed) because the stashing device_flags (HAS_BD_STASHING|HAS_BUF_STASHING) were "accidentally" cleared during probe().
