stephen hemminger 8595805aaf IPv6: only notify protocols if address is compeletely gone
The notifier for address down should only be called if address is completely

stephen hemminger 93fa159abe IPv6: keep route for tentative address
Recent changes preserve IPv6 address when link goes down (good).
But would cause address to point to dead dst entry (bad).
The simplest fix is to just not delete route if address is

Matt Carlson 9dc7a11349 tg3: Re-inline VLAN tags when appropriate
The tg3 driver is written so that VLAN tagged packets can be accepted,
even if CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q or CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_MODULE is not defined.
(Think raw interfaces.)  If the device has ASF support enabled, the
firmware requires the driver to enable VLAN tag stripping.  If VLAN
tagging is not explicitly supported by the kernel and ASF is enabled,
the driver will have to reinject the VLAN tag back into the packet
stream.

Matt Carlson d2757fc407 tg3: Optimize rx double copy test
On a PCIX bus, the 5701 has a bug which requires the driver to double
copy all rx packets.  The rx code uses the rx_offset device member as a
flag to determine if this workaround should take effect.  The following
patch will modify the rx_offset member such that this test will become
less clear.

The patch starts by integrating the workaround check into the packet
length check.  It rounds out the implementation by relaxing the
workaround restrictions if the platform has efficient unaligned
accesses.

Eric Dumazet b6c6712a42 net: sk_dst_cache RCUification
With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
work.

sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)

This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
again :)

This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.

__sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))

This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

Manfred Rudigier f0ee7acfcd gianfar: Add hardware TX timestamping support
If a packet has the skb_shared_tx->hardware flag set the device is
instructed to generate a TX timestamp and write it back to memory after
the frame is transmitted. During the clean_tx_ring operation the
timestamp will be extracted and copied into the skb_shared_hwtstamps
struct of the skb.

TX timestamping is enabled by setting the tx_type to something else
than HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF with the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl command. It is only
supported by eTSEC devices.

David S. Miller 2e8e18ef52 tcp: Set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in tcp_init_nondata_skb
Back in commit 04a0551c87
("loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed setting") we stopped
setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in the loopback xmit.

This is because such a setting was a lie since it implies that the
checksum field of the packet is properly filled in.

Instead what happens normally is that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set and
skb->csum is calculated as needed.

But this was only happening for TCP data packets (via the
skb->ip_summed assignment done in tcp_sendmsg()).  It doesn't
happen for non-data packets like ACKs etc.

Fix this by setting skb->ip_summed in the common non-data packet
constructor.  It already is setting skb->csum to zero.

But this reminds us that we still have things like ip_output.c's
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() which sets skb->ip_summed to the value
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which Herbert's patch teaches us is not
valid.  So we'll have to address that at some point too.

David Howells ce82653d6c radix_tree_tag_get() is not as safe as the docs make out [ver #2]
radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear().  The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():

		if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
			saw_unset_tag = 1;
		if (height == 1) {
			int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);

may see the value change due to the action of set/clear.  RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.

The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".

The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:

			BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag);

This has been seen happening in FS-Cache:

	https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html

To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.

Pekka Enberg fc1c183353 slab: Generify kernel pointer validation
As suggested by Linus, introduce a kern_ptr_validate() helper that does some
sanity checks to make sure a pointer is a valid kernel pointer.  This is a
preparational step for fixing SLUB kmem_ptr_validate().

Linus Torvalds 4dc86ae1f9 Revert "memory-hotplug: add 0x prefix to HEX block_size_bytes"
This reverts commit ba168fc37d.

It changes user-visible sysfs interfaces, and breaks some existing user
space applications which apparently rely on the fact that the output
does not contain the "0x" prefix.

Heiko Carstens 187644636e [S390] nss: add missing .previous statement to asm function
The savesys_ipl_nss asm function is put into the .init.text section
however it is missing a ".previous" section which would restore the
previous section.
Luckily all functions in early.c are init functions so it doesn't
matter currently.

Martin Schwidefsky 7d3f661e57 [S390] increase default size of vmalloc area
The default size of the vmalloc area is currently 1 GB. The memory resource
controller uses about 10 MB of vmalloc space per gigabyte of memory. That
turns a system with more than ~100 GB memory unbootable with the default
vmalloc size. It costs us nothing to increase the default size to some
more adequate value, e.g. 128 GB.

Christian Borntraeger 6af7eea2ae [S390] s390: disable change bit override
commit 6a985c6194
([S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping)
deactivated the change bit recording for the kernel mapping to
improve the performance. This works most of the time, but there
are cases (e.g. kernel runs in home space, futex atomic compare xcmg)
where we modify user memory with the kernel mapping instead of the
user mapping.
Instead of fixing these cases, this patch just deactivates change bit
override to avoid future problems with other kernel code that might
use the kernel mapping for user memory.

Martin Schwidefsky 176b1803ce [S390] fix io_return critical section cleanup
If a machine check interrupts the io interrupt handler on one of the
instructions between io_return and io_leave the critical section
cleanup code will move the return psw to io_work_loop. By doing that
the switch from the asynchronous interrupt stack to the process stack
is skipped. If e.g. TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set things break because
the scheduler is called with the asynchronous interrupts stack.
Moving the psw back to io_return instead fixes the problem.

Julia Lawall d7015c120e [S390] arch/s390/kernel: Add missing unlock
In the default case the lock is not unlocked.  The return is
converted to a goto, to share the unlock at the end of the function.

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

// <smpl>
@r exists@
expression E1;
identifier f;

f (...) { <+...

Divyesh Shah 3440c49f5c cfq-iosched: Fix the incorrect timeslice accounting with forced_dispatch
When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched,
it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue.
However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in
using stale values for computing slice_used.
This patch fixes it by calling activate queue before flushing reuqests from
each queue.

This is useful mostly for barrier requests because when the iosched is changing
it really doesnt matter if we have incorrect accounting since we're going to
break down all structures anyway.

We also now expire the current timeslice before moving on with the dispatch
to accurately account slice used for that cfqq.
