72fd071833 bnx2x: Parity errors handling for 57710 and 57711
This patch introduces the parity errors handling code for 57710 and 57711 chips.

HW is configured to stop all DMA transactions to the host and sending packets to the network
once parity error is detected, which is meant to prevent silent data corruption.
At the same time HW generates the attention interrupt to every function of the device where parity
has been detected so that driver can start the recovery flow.

The recovery is actually resetting the chip and restarting the driver on all active functions
of the chip where the parity error has been reported.

9f37622f89 eCryptfs: Turn lower lookup error messages into debug messages
Vaugue warnings about ENAMETOOLONG errors when looking up an encrypted
file name have caused many users to become concerned about their data.
Since this is a rather harmless condition, I'm moving this warning to
only be printed when the ecryptfs_verbosity module param is 1.

3a8380c075 eCryptfs: Copy lower directory inode times and size on link
The timestamps and size of a lower inode involved in a link() call was
being copied to the upper parent inode.  Instead, we should be
copying lower parent inode's timestamps and size to the upper parent
inode.  I discovered this bug using the POSIX test suite at Tuxera.

133b8f9d63 ecryptfs: fix use with tmpfs by removing d_drop from ecryptfs_destroy_inode
Since tmpfs has no persistent storage, it pins all its dentries in memory
so they have d_count=1 when other file systems would have d_count=0.
->lookup is only used to create new dentries. If the caller doesn't
instantiate it, it's freed immediately at dput(). ->readdir reads
directly from the dcache and depends on the dentries being hashed.

When an ecryptfs mount is mounted, it associates the lower file and dentry
with the ecryptfs files as they're accessed. When it's umounted and
destroys all the in-memory ecryptfs inodes, it fput's the lower_files and
d_drop's the lower_dentries. Commit 4981e081 added this and a d_delete in
2008 and several months later commit caeeeecf removed the d_delete. I
believe the d_drop() needs to be removed as well.

The d_drop effectively hides any file that has been accessed via ecryptfs
from the underlying tmpfs since it depends on it being hashed for it to
be accessible. I've removed the d_drop on my development node and see no
ill effects with basic testing on both tmpfs and persistent storage.

As a side effect, after ecryptfs d_drops the dentries on tmpfs, tmpfs
BUGs on umount. This is due to the dentries being unhashed.
tmpfs->kill_sb is kill_litter_super which calls d_genocide to drop
the reference pinning the dentry. It skips unhashed and negative dentries,
but shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree doesn't. Since those dentries
still have an elevated d_count, we get a BUG().

This patch removes the d_drop call and fixes both issues.

cfce08c6bd ecryptfs: fix error code for missing xattrs in lower fs
If the lower file system driver has extended attributes disabled,
ecryptfs' own access functions return -ENOSYS instead of -EOPNOTSUPP.
This breaks execution of programs in the ecryptfs mount, since the
kernel expects the latter error when checking for security
capabilities in xattrs.

3a60a1686f eCryptfs: Decrypt symlink target for stat size
Create a getattr handler for eCryptfs symlinks that is capable of
reading the lower target and decrypting its path.  Prior to this patch,
a stat's st_size field would represent the strlen of the encrypted path,
while readlink() would return the strlen of the decrypted path.  This
could lead to confusion in some userspace applications, since the two
values should be equal.

bc293d62b2 rcu: Make RCU lockdep check the lockdep_recursion variable
The lockdep facility temporarily disables lockdep checking by
incrementing the current->lockdep_recursion variable.  Such
disabling happens in NMIs and in other situations where lockdep
might expect to recurse on itself.

This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU
lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero.  In addition, this patch
removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

fc6055a5ba net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()
Transmitted skb might be attached to a socket and a destructor, for
memory accounting purposes.

Traditionally, this destructor is called at tx completion time, when skb
is freed.

When tx completion is performed by another cpu than the sender, this
forces some cache lines to change ownership. XPS was an attempt to give
tx completion to initial cpu.

David idea is to call destructor right before giving skb to device (call
to ndo_start_xmit()). Because device queues are usually small, orphaning
skb before tx completion is not a big deal. Some drivers already do
this, we could do it in upper level.

There is one known exception to this early orphaning, called tx
timestamping. It needs to keep a reference to socket until device can
give a hardware or software timestamp.

This patch adds a skb_orphan_try() helper, to centralize all exceptions
to early orphaning in one spot, and use it in dev_hard_start_xmit().

"tbench 16" results on a Nehalem machine (2 X5570  @ 2.93GHz)
before: Throughput 4428.9 MB/sec 16 procs
after: Throughput 4448.14 MB/sec 16 procs

UDP should get even better results, its destructor being more complex,
since SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE is not set (four atomic ops instead of one)

fec5e652e5 rfs: Receive Flow Steering
This patch implements receive flow steering (RFS).  RFS steers
received packets for layer 3 and 4 processing to the CPU where
the application for the corresponding flow is running.  RFS is an
extension of Receive Packet Steering (RPS).

The basic idea of RFS is that when an application calls recvmsg
(or sendmsg) the application's running CPU is stored in a hash
table that is indexed by the connection's rxhash which is stored in
the socket structure.  The rxhash is passed in skb's received on
the connection from netif_receive_skb.  For each received packet,
the associated rxhash is used to look up the CPU in the hash table,
if a valid CPU is set then the packet is steered to that CPU using
the RPS mechanisms.

The convolution of the simple approach is that it would potentially
allow OOO packets.  If threads are thrashing around CPUs or multiple
threads are trying to read from the same sockets, a quickly changing
CPU value in the hash table could cause rampant OOO packets--
we consider this a non-starter.

To avoid OOO packets, this solution implements two types of hash
tables: rps_sock_flow_table and rps_dev_flow_table.

rps_sock_table is a global hash table.  Each entry is just a CPU
number and it is populated in recvmsg and sendmsg as described above.
This table contains the "desired" CPUs for flows.

rps_dev_flow_table is specific to each device queue.  Each entry
contains a CPU and a tail queue counter.  The CPU is the "current"
CPU for a matching flow.  The tail queue counter holds the value
of a tail queue counter for the associated CPU's backlog queue at
the time of last enqueue for a flow matching the entry.

Each backlog queue has a queue head counter which is incremented
on dequeue, and so a queue tail counter is computed as queue head
count + queue length.  When a packet is enqueued on a backlog queue,
the current value of the queue tail counter is saved in the hash
entry of the rps_dev_flow_table.

And now the trick: when selecting the CPU for RPS (get_rps_cpu)
the rps_sock_flow table and the rps_dev_flow table for the RX queue
are consulted.  When the desired CPU for the flow (found in the
rps_sock_flow table) does not match the current CPU (found in the
rps_dev_flow table), the current CPU is changed to the desired CPU
if one of the following is true:

- The current CPU is unset (equal to RPS_NO_CPU)
- Current CPU is offline
- The current CPU's queue head counter >= queue tail counter in the
rps_dev_flow table.  This checks if the queue tail has advanced
beyond the last packet that was enqueued using this table entry.
This guarantees that all packets queued using this entry have been
dequeued, thus preserving in order delivery.

Making each queue have its own rps_dev_flow table has two advantages:
1) the tail queue counters will be written on each receive, so
keeping the table local to interrupting CPU s good for locality.  2)
this allows lockless access to the table-- the CPU number and queue
tail counter need to be accessed together under mutual exclusion
from netif_receive_skb, we assume that this is only called from
device napi_poll which is non-reentrant.

This patch implements RFS for TCP and connected UDP sockets.
It should be usable for other flow oriented protocols.

There are two configuration parameters for RFS.  The
"rps_flow_entries" kernel init parameter sets the number of
entries in the rps_sock_flow_table, the per rxqueue sysfs entry
"rps_flow_cnt" contains the number of entries in the rps_dev_flow
table for the rxqueue.  Both are rounded to power of two.

The obvious benefit of RFS (over just RPS) is that it achieves
CPU locality between the receive processing for a flow and the
applications processing; this can result in increased performance
(higher pps, lower latency).

The benefits of RFS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application
load, and other factors.  On simple benchmarks, we don't necessarily
see improvement and sometimes see degradation.  However, for more
complex benchmarks and for applications where cache pressure is
much higher this technique seems to perform very well.

Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of
this patch.  The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR
test with 1 byte req. and resp.  The RPC test is an request/response
test similar in structure to netperf RR test ith 100 threads on
each host, but does more work in userspace that netperf.

1c4f019732 packet : remove init_net restriction
The af_packet protocol is used by Perl to do ioctls as reported by
Stephane Riviere:

"Net::RawIP relies on SIOCGIFADDR et SIOCGIFHWADDR to get the IP and MAC
addresses of the network interface."

But in a new network namespace these ioctl fail because it is disabled for
a namespace different from the init_net_ns.

These two lines should not be there as af_inet and af_packet are
namespace aware since a long time now. I suppose we forget to remove these
lines because we sent the af_packet first, before af_inet was supported.

31f634a63d WAN: flush tx_queue in hdlc_ppp to prevent panic on rmmod hw_driver.
tx_queue is used as a temporary queue when not allowed to queue skb
directly to the hw device driver (which may sleep). Most paths flush
it before returning, but ppp_start() currently cannot. Make sure we
don't leave skbs pointing to a non-existent device.

Thanks to Michael Barkowski for reporting this problem.

e7cb49550e iwlwifi: make scan antenna forcing more generic
Some future hardware will also require some antenna
overrides so make the current logic more generic;
right now it is semantically based on a workaround
for off-channel reception but the reasons for the
new antenna overrides will be different.
