xen-netfront: use __pskb_pull_tail to ensure linear area is big enough on RX
I'm slightly concerned by the "only in exceptional circumstances"
comment on __pskb_pull_tail but the structure of an skb just created
by netfront shouldn't hit any of the especially slow cases.
This approach still does slightly more work than the old way, since if
we pull up the entire first frag we now have to shuffle everything
down where before we just received into the right place in the first
place.

tcp: fix cwnd reduction for non-sack recovery
The cwnd reduction in fast recovery is based on the number of packets
newly delivered per ACK. For non-sack connections every DUPACK
signifies a packet has been delivered, but the sender mistakenly
skips counting them for cwnd reduction.
The fix is to compute newly_acked_sacked after DUPACKs are accounted

netlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processes
Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other
processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink
asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root
process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers.
The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in
two ways:
a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from
some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped.
b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin
of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any
message not coming from the kernel.
However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has
been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility.
So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd,
know that the event was triggered by some user-space action.
Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming
from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink.
This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set
in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing
applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between
two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is
NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink
userspace communication.
Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink
userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default,
I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to
communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information
that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using
NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that.

ipv4: properly update pmtu
Sylvain Munault reported following info :
- TCP connection get "stuck" with data in send queue when doing
"large" transfers ( like typing 'ps ax' on a ssh connection )
- Only happens on path where the PMTU is lower than the MTU of
the interface
- Is not present right after boot, it only appears 10-20min after
boot or so. (and that's inside the _same_ TCP connection, it works
fine at first and then in the same ssh session, it'll get stuck)
- Definitely seems related to fragments somehow since I see a router
sending ICMP message saying fragmentation is needed.
- Exact same setup works fine with kernel 3.5.1
Problem happens when the 10 minutes (ip_rt_mtu_expires) expiration
period is over.
ip_rt_update_pmtu() calls dst_set_expires() to rearm a new expiration,
but dst_set_expires() does nothing because dst.expires is already set.
It seems we want to set the expires field to a new value, regardless
of prior one.

Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer

under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race.
Thread A (driver load) Thread B (timer thread)

console_lock() |
| |
| fbcon_flashcursor timer fires
| console_lock() <- blocked for A
|
|
fbcon_del_cursor_timer ->
del_timer_sync

Of course because all of this is under the console lock,
we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active
console guess what we never see anything.
Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms
driver handoff.

mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended or taking too long
Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
heavily on locks. The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;
The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive. FWIW these servers
are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory. I've got ~160
Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
backed by 12 of these servers.

There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.
commit [24d9084d: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.
This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
does not need to schedule.

mm: have order > 0 compaction start near a pageblock with free pages
Commit f299e95fbc0a ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it
left") introduced a caching mechanism to reduce the amount work the free
page scanner does in compaction. However, it has a problem. Consider
two process simultaneously scanning free pages
C
Process A M S F
|---------------------------------------|
Process B M FS
C is zone->compact_cached_free_pfn
S is cc->start_pfree_pfn
M is cc->migrate_pfn
F is cc->free_pfn
In this diagram, Process A has just reached its migrate scanner, wrapped
around and updated compact_cached_free_pfn accordingly.
Simultaneously, Process B finishes isolating in a block and updates
compact_cached_free_pfn again to the location of its free scanner.
Process A moves to "end_of_zone - one_pageblock" and runs this check
compact_cached_free_pfn is above where it started so the free scanner
skips almost the entire space it should have scanned. When there are
multiple processes compacting it can end in a situation where the entire
zone is not being scanned at all. Further, it is possible for two
processes to ping-pong update to compact_cached_free_pfn which is just
random.
Overall, the end result wrecks allocation success rates.
There is not an obvious way around this problem without introducing new
locking and state so this patch takes a different approach.
First, it gets rid of the skip logic because it's not clear that it
matters if two free scanners happen to be in the same block but with
racing updates it's too easy for it to skip over blocks it should not.
Second, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn in a more limited set of
circumstances.
If a scanner has wrapped, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn to the end
of the zone. When a wrapped scanner isolates a page, it updates
compact_cached_free_pfn to point to the highest pageblock it
can isolate pages from.
If a scanner has not wrapped when it has finished isolated pages it
checks if compact_cached_free_pfn is pointing to the end of the
zone. If so, the value is updated to point to the highest
pageblock that pages were isolated from. This value will not
be updated again until a free page scanner wraps and resets
compact_cached_free_pfn.
This is not optimal and it can still race but the compact_cached_free_pfn
will be pointing to or very near a pageblock with free pages.

Correct the offset by subtracting 20 from tm_hour before taking the

Here's the reason why: RS5C348_BIT_PM is 32, and is - stupidly -

out that bit to get "hour+12". But then because it does things modulo

During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte. The logic is if
the PMD page is the same, they must be shared. This assumes that the
sharing is between the parent and child. However, if the sharing is
with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this
diagram:
For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to
have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other. This is
possible due to the following style of race.
PROC A PROC B
copy_hugetlb_page_range copy_hugetlb_page_range
src_pte == huge_pte_offset src_pte == huge_pte_offset
!src_pte so no sharing !src_pte so no sharing
These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed. When either
process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
(harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.
This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
section as pmd. This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
and pmd populated together.

Occasionally an isolated BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes) gets reported, indicating
that not all the page tables allocated could be found and freed when
exit_mmap() tore down the user address space.
There's usually nothing we can say about it, beyond that it's probably a
sign of some bad memory or memory corruption; though it might still
indicate a bug in vma or page table management (and did recently reveal a
race in THP, fixed a few months ago).
But one overdue change we can make is from BUG_ON to WARN_ON.
It's fairly likely that the system will crash shortly afterwards in some
other way (for example, the BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in
__delete_from_page_cache(), once an inode mapped into the lost page tables
gets evicted); but might tell us more before that.
Change the BUG_ON(page_mapped) to WARN_ON too? Later perhaps: I'm less
eager, since that one has several times led to fixes.

libceph: avoid truncation due to racing banners
Because the Ceph client messenger uses a non-blocking connect, it is
possible for the sending of the client banner to race with the
arrival of the banner sent by the peer.
When ceph_sock_state_change() notices the connect has completed, it
schedules work to process the socket via con_work(). During this
time the peer is writing its banner, and arrival of the peer banner
races with con_work().
If con_work() calls try_read() before the peer banner arrives, there
is nothing for it to do, after which con_work() calls try_write() to
send the client's banner. In this case Ceph's protocol negotiation
can complete succesfully.
The server-side messenger immediately sends its banner and addresses
after accepting a connect request, *before* actually attempting to
read or verify the banner from the client. As a result, it is
possible for the banner from the server to arrive before con_work()
calls try_read(). If that happens, try_read() will read the banner
and prepare protocol negotiation info via prepare_write_connect().
prepare_write_connect() calls con_out_kvec_reset(), which discards
the as-yet-unsent client banner. Next, con_work() calls
try_write(), which sends the protocol negotiation info rather than
the banner that the peer is expecting.
The result is that the peer sees an invalid banner, and the client
reports "negotiation failed".
Fix this by moving con_out_kvec_reset() out of
prepare_write_connect() to its callers at all locations except the
one where the banner might still need to be sent.

The bug comes from the fact that timer set in sk_reset_timer() can run
before we actually do the sock_hold(). socket refcount reaches zero and
we free the socket too soon.
timer handler is not allowed to reduce socket refcnt if socket is owned
by the user, or we need to change sk_reset_timer() implementation.
We should take a reference on the socket in case TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED
or TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED bit are set in tsq_flags
Also fix a typo in tcp_delack_timer(), where TCP_WRITE_TIMER_DEFERRED
was used instead of TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED.
For consistency, use same socket refcount change for TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED,
even if not fired from a timer.

ath5k: fix wrong max power per rate eeprom reads for 802.11a
This patch reduces the per rate target power eeprom reads for
AR5K_EEPROM_MODE_11A from 10 to 8, as there are only 8 valid
power curve entries on the eeprom. The former 10 reads lead to
equal max power limits per rate and this causes an increasing

fbcon: fix race condition between console lock and cursor timer
So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between
efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of
days to finding the problem.
Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer
message and that was all.
So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks
under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race.
Thread A (driver load) Thread B (timer thread)
unbind_con_driver -> |
bind_con_driver -> |
vc->vc_sw->con_deinit -> |
fbcon_deinit -> |
console_lock() |
| |
| fbcon_flashcursor timer fires
| console_lock() <- blocked for A
|
|
fbcon_del_cursor_timer ->
del_timer_sync
(BOOM)
Of course because all of this is under the console lock,
we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active
console guess what we never see anything.
Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms
driver handoff.

Here TRANSPORT_IQN_LEN is 224, which is a multiple of 4.
Since vhost_tpgt is 2 bytes and abi_version is 4, the total size would
be 230. But gcc needs struct size be aligned to first field size, which
is 4 bytes, so it pads the structure by extra 2 bytes to the total of
232.
This padding is very undesirable in an ABI:
- it can not be initialized easily
- it can not be checked easily
- it can leak information between kernel and userspace
Simplest solution is probably just to make the padding
explicit.

drm/i915: use hsw rps tuning values everywhere on gen6+
James Bottomley reported [1] a massive power regression, due to the
enabling of semaphores by default in 3.5. A workaround for him is to
again disable semaphores. And indeed, his system has a very hard time
to enter rc6 with semaphores enabled.
Ben Widawsky run around with a kill-a-watt a lot and noticed:
- There are indeed a few rare systems that seem to have a hard time
entering rc6 when desktop-idle.
- One machine, The Indestructible Toshiba regressed in this behaviour
between 3.5 and 3.6 in a merge commit! So rc6 behaviour with the
current setting seems to be highly timing dependent and not robust
at all.
- The behaviour James reported wrt semaphores seems to be a freak
timing thing that only happens on his specific machine, confirming
that enabling semaphores shouldn't reduce rc6 residency.
Now furthermore the Google ChromeOS guys reported [2] a while ago that
at least on some machines a simply a blinking cursor can keep the gpu
turbo at the highest frequency. This is because the current rps limits
used on snb/ivb are highly asymmetric.
On the theory that gpu turbo and rc6 tuning values are related, we've
tried whether the much saner looking (since much less asymmetric) rps
tuning values used for hsw would also help entering rc6 more robustly.
And it seems to mostly work, and we don't really have the resources to
through-roughly tune things in any better way: The values from the
ChromeOS ppl seem to fare a bit worse for James' machine, so I guess
we better stick with something vpg (the gpu hw/windows group)
provided, hoping that they've done their jobs.
