Marc Kleine-Budde f1f8c6cbe6 can: mcp251x: Don't use pdata->model for chip selection anymore
Since commit e446630c96, i.e. v2.6.35-rc1,
the mcp251x chip model can be selected via the modalias member in the
struct spi_board_info. The driver stores the actual model in the
struct mcp251x_platform_data.

From the driver point of view the platform_data should be read only.
Since all in-tree users of the mcp251x have already been converted to
the modalias method, this patch moves the "model" member from the
struct mcp251x_platform_data to the driver's private data structure.

Dan Carpenter cdd861d68d ns83820: spin_lock_irq() => spin_lock()
This is essentially cosmetic.  At this point the IRQs are already
disabled because we called spin_lock_irq(&dev->rx_info.lock).

The real bug here was fixed back in 2006 in 3a10ccebe: "[PATCH] lock
validator: fix ns83820.c irq-flags bug".  Prior to that patch, it was
a "spin_lock_irq is not nestable" type bug.  The 2006 patch changes the
unlock to not re-enable IRQs, which eliminates the potential deadlock.

But this bit was missed.  We should change the lock function as well so
it balances nicely.

Allan Stephens ccc901ee58 tipc: Simplify bearer shutdown logic
Optimize processing in TIPC's bearer shutdown code, including:

1. Remove an unnecessary check to see if TIPC bearer's can exist.
2. Don't release spinlocks before calling a media-specific disabling
routine, since the routine can't sleep.
3. Make bearer_disable() operate directly on a struct bearer, instead
of needlessly taking a name and then mapping that to the struct.

Currently the tg3 driver leaves the speed and duplex fields
uninitialized in tg3_get_settings() if the device is not up.  This can
lead to some strange deductions in certain versions of ethtool.  When
the device is up and the link is down, the driver reports SPEED_INVALID

consistent by returning SPEED_INVALID and DUPLEX_INVALID when the device
has not been brought up as well.

Eric Dumazet 19f572565e fib_hash: RCU conversion phase 2
Get rid of fib_hash_lock rwlock.

The fn_zone hash table resize is the noticeable part of this patch.

I added a seqlock per fn_zone, so that readers can restart their lookup
in the (very rare) case a writer expanded the hash table.

Add rcu heads in fib_alias and fib_node, use call_rcu() to defer their
freeing, and use appropriate _rcu list manipulations.

mimic DDOS attack, FIB_HASH)

Very classic conversion, using rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference()

They are created under RTNL, we dont need fib_hash_lock anymore in

Eric Dumazet 9bef83edfb fib_hash: embed initial hash table in fn_zone
While looking for false sharing problems, I noticed
sizeof(struct fn_zone) was small (28 bytes) and possibly sharing a cache
line with an often written kernel structure.

Most of the time, fn_zone uses its initial hash table of 16 slots.

We can avoid the false sharing problem by embedding this initial hash
table in fn_zone itself, so that sizeof(fn_zone) > L1_CACHE_BYTES

We did a similar optimization in commit a6501e080c (Reduce memory needs
and speedup lookups)

Add a fz_revorder field to speedup fn_hash() a bit.

Eric Dumazet 8e602ce298 netns: reorder fields in struct net
In a network bench, I noticed an unfortunate false sharing between
'loopback_dev' and 'count' fields in "struct net".

'count' is written each time a socket is created or destroyed, while
loopback_dev might be often read in routing code.

Move loopback_dev in a read mostly section of "struct net"

Note: struct netns_xfrm is cache line aligned on SMP.
(It contains a "struct dst_ops")
Move it at the end to avoid holes, and reduce sizeof(struct net) by 128
bytes on ia32.

it can happen only due to ECN, FRTO detecting spurious RTO

Eric Dumazet 564824b0c5 net: allocate skbs on local node
commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of
allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to
the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale
network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit
slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus
have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node.

skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short
lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What
appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one.

In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load,
and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second,
needing all the available cpus.

Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the
small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local'
memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations
done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC
hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

Eric Dumazet 6f0333b8fd r8169: use 50% less ram for RX ring
Using standard skb allocations in r8169 leads to order-3 allocations (if
PAGE_SIZE=4096), because NIC needs 16383 bytes, and skb overhead makes
this bigger than 16384 -> 32768 bytes per "skb"

Using kmalloc() permits to reduce memory requirements of one r8169 nic
by 4Mbytes. (256 frames * 16Kbytes). This is fine since a hardware bug
requires us to copy incoming frames, so we build real skb when doing
this copy.

Julia Lawall 0d91f22b75 drivers/net/wireless/p54/eeprom.c: Return -ENOMEM on memory allocation failure
In this code, 0 is returned on memory allocation failure, even though other
failures return -ENOMEM or other similar values.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression ret;
expression x,e1,e2,e3;
@@

ret = 0
... when != ret = e1
*x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...)
... when != ret = e2
if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3
  return ret;
}

This doesn't fix any problem that I'm aware of, but should
make it harder to add use-after-free type bugs in the
future.

Ben Greear c1739eb3e6 ath9k: Remove bf_dmacontext.
The bf_dmacontext seems to be totally useless and duplicated
by bf_buf_addr.  Remove it entirely, use bf_buf_addr in its
place.
