the VIOS server
Older versions of VIOS servers do not send the firmware level in the VPD
buffer for the ibmvnic driver. Thus, not only the current message is mis-
leading but the firmware version in the ethtool will be NULL. Therefore,
this patch fixes the firmware string and its warning.

Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
"A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates.
I have to mention the lexer and parser of Kconfig are now built from
real .l and .y sources. So, flex and bison are the requirement for
building the kernel. Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for
a long time. This change has been tested several weeks in linux-next,
and I did not receive any problem report about this.
Summary:
- add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in choice,
help is doubled
- document data structure and complex code
- fix various memory leaks
- change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using
pre-generated C files
- drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool'
- use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables
- fix gettext() check for xconfig
- announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed
- make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and search
result
- hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people
- fix misc things and cleanups"

Restore an optimization removed in commit 7f19449553 "Fix debugfs glocks
dump": keep the glock hash table iterator active while the glock dump
file is held open. This avoids having to rescan the hash table from the
start for each read, with quadratically rising runtime.
In addition, use rhastable_walk_peek for resuming a glock dump at the
current position: when a glock doesn't fit in the provided buffer
anymore, the next read must revisit the same glock.
Finally, also restart the dump from the first entry when we notice that
the hash table has been resized in gfs2_glock_seq_start.

Depend on LIBCRC32C which uses the crypto API to select the appropriate
crc32c implementation. With the CRYPTO and CRYPTO_CRC32C dependencies,
gfs2 would still need to use the crypto API directly like ext4 and btrfs
do, which isn't necessary.

"Here is the big Staging and IIO driver patches for 4.16-rc1.
There is the normal amount of new IIO drivers added, like all
releases.
The networking IPX and the ncpfs filesystem are moved into the staging
tree, as they are on their way out of the kernel due to lack of use
anymore.
The visorbus subsystem finall has started moving out of the staging
tree to the "real" part of the kernel, and the most and fsl-mc
codebases are almost ready to move out, that will probably happen for
4.17-rc1 if all goes well.
Other than that, there is a bunch of license header cleanups in the
tree, along with the normal amount of coding style churn that we all
know and love for this codebase. I also got frustrated at the
Meltdown/Spectre mess and took it out on the dgnc tty driver, deleting
huge chunks of it that were never even being used.

IPv4 and IPv6 packets may arrive with lower-layer padding that is not
included in the L3 length. For example, a short IPv4 packet may have
up to 6 bytes of padding following the IP payload when received on an
Ethernet device with a minimum packet length of 64 bytes.
Higher-layer processing functions in netfilter (e.g. nf_ip_checksum(),
and help() in nf_conntrack_ftp) assume skb->len reflects the length of
the L3 header and payload, rather than referring back to
ip_hdr->tot_len or ipv6_hdr->payload_len, and get confused by
lower-layer padding.
In the normal IPv4 receive path, ip_rcv() trims the packet to
ip_hdr->tot_len before invoking netfilter hooks. In the IPv6 receive
path, ip6_rcv() does the same using ipv6_hdr->payload_len. Similarly
in the br_netfilter receive path, br_validate_ipv4() and
br_validate_ipv6() trim the packet to the L3 length before invoking
netfilter hooks.
Currently in the OVS conntrack receive path, ovs_ct_execute() pulls
the skb to the L3 header but does not trim it to the L3 length before
calling nf_conntrack_in(NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING). When
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp encounters a packet with lower-layer padding,
nf_ip_checksum() fails causing a "nf_ct_tcp: bad TCP checksum" log
message. While extra zero bytes don't affect the checksum, the length
in the IP pseudoheader does. That length is based on skb->len, and
without trimming, it doesn't match the length the sender used when
computing the checksum.
In ovs_ct_execute(), trim the skb to the L3 length before higher-layer
processing.

This commit fixes the pacing_gain to remain at BBR_UNIT (1.0) when
using lt_bw and returning from the PROBE_RTT state to PROBE_BW.
Previously, when using lt_bw, upon exiting PROBE_RTT and entering
PROBE_BW the bbr_reset_probe_bw_mode() code could sometimes randomly
end up with a cycle_idx of 0 and hence have bbr_advance_cycle_phase()
set a pacing gain above 1.0. In such cases this would result in a
pacing rate that is 1.25x higher than intended, potentially resulting
in a high loss rate for a little while until we stop using the lt_bw a
bit later.
This commit is a stable candidate for kernels back as far as 4.9.

being updated to a new value a few lines later, hence this

====================
bnx2x: disable GSO on too-large packets
We observed a case where a packet received on an ibmveth device had a
GSO size of around 10kB. This was forwarded by Open vSwitch to a bnx2x
device, where it caused a firmware assert. This is described in detail
at [0].
Ultimately we want a fix in the core, but that is very tricky to
backport. So for now, just stop the bnx2x driver from crashing.
When net-next re-opens I will send the fix to the core and a revert
for this.
v4 changes:
- fix compilation error with EXPORTs (patch 1)
- only do slow test if gso_size is greater than 9000 bytes (patch 2)
Thanks,

If you take a GSO skb, and split it into packets, will the MAC
length (L2 + L3 + L4 headers + payload) of those packets be small
enough to fit within a given length?
Move skb_gso_mac_seglen() to skbuff.h with other related functions
like skb_gso_network_seglen() so we can use it, and then create
skb_gso_validate_mac_len to do the full calculation.

page-types currently hardcodes /proc/kpageflags as the file to parse.
This works when using the tool to examine the state of pageflags on the
same system, but does not allow storing a snapshot of pageflags at a
given time to debug issues nor on a different system.
This allows the user to specify a saved version of kpageflags with a new
page-types -F option.

Bharata has noticed that onlining a newly added memory doesn't increase
the total memory, pointing to commit f7f99100d8d9 ("mm: stop zeroing
memory during allocation in vmemmap") as a culprit. This commit has
changed the way how the memory for memmaps is initialized and moves it
from the allocation time to the initialization time. This works
properly for the early memmap init path.
It doesn't work for the memory hotplug though because we need to mark
page as reserved when the sparsemem section is created and later
initialize it completely during onlining. memmap_init_zone is called in
the early stage of onlining. With the current code it calls
__init_single_page and as such it clears up the whole stage and
therefore online_pages_range skips those pages.
Fix this by skipping mm_zero_struct_page in __init_single_page for
memory hotplug path. This is quite uggly but unifying both early init
and memory hotplug init paths is a large project. Make sure we plug the
regression at least.

This patch changes change_pte_range() to skip shared copy-on-write pages
when called from change_prot_numa().
NOTE: change_prot_numa() is nominally called from task_numa_work() and
queue_pages_test_walk(). task_numa_work() is the auto NUMA balancing
path, and queue_pages_test_walk() is part of explicit NUMA policy
management. However, queue_pages_test_walk() only calls
change_prot_numa() when MPOL_MF_LAZY is specified and currently that is
not allowed, so change_prot_numa() is only called from auto NUMA
balancing.
In the case of explicit NUMA policy management, shared pages are not
migrated unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified, and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL
depends on CAP_SYS_NICE. Currently, there is no way to pass information
about MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL to change_pte_range. This will have to be fixed
if MPOL_MF_LAZY is enabled and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is to be honored in lazy
migration mode.
task_numa_work() skips the read-only VMAs of programs and shared
libraries.

Dan Carpenter has noticed that mbind migration callback (new_page) can
get a NULL vma pointer and choke on it inside alloc_huge_page_vma which
relies on the VMA to get the hstate. We used to BUG_ON this case but
the BUG_+ON has been removed recently by "hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the
mbind hugetlb migration".
The proper way to handle this is to get the hstate from the migrated
page and rely on huge_node (resp. get_vma_policy) do the right thing
with null VMA. We are currently falling back to the default mempolicy
in that case which is in line what THP path is doing here.

do_mbind migration code relies on alloc_huge_page_noerr for hugetlb
pages. alloc_huge_page_noerr uses alloc_huge_page which is a highlevel
allocation function which has to take care of reserves, overcommit or
hugetlb cgroup accounting. None of that is really required for the page
migration because the new page is only temporal and either will replace
the original page or it will be dropped. This is essentially as for
other migration call paths and there shouldn't be any reason to handle
mbind in a special way.
The current implementation is even suboptimal because the migration
might fail just because the hugetlb cgroup limit is reached, or the
overcommit is saturated.
Fix this by making mbind like other hugetlb migration paths. Add a new
migration helper alloc_huge_page_vma as a wrapper around
alloc_huge_page_nodemask with additional mempolicy handling.
alloc_huge_page_noerr has no more users and it can go.

Hugetlb allocator has several layer of allocation functions depending
and the purpose of the allocation. There are two allocators depending
on whether the page can be allocated from the page allocator or we need
a contiguous allocator. This is currently opencoded in
alloc_fresh_huge_page which is the only path that might allocate giga
pages which require the later allocator. Create alloc_fresh_huge_page
which hides this implementation detail and use it in all callers which
hardcoded the buddy allocator path (__hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page).
This shouldn't introduce any funtional change because both migration and
surplus allocators exlude giga pages explicitly.
While we are at it let's do some renaming. The current scheme is not
consistent and overly painfull to read and understand. Get rid of
prefix underscores from most functions. There is no real reason to make
names longer.
* alloc_fresh_huge_page is the new layer to abstract underlying
allocator
* __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page becomes shorter and neater
alloc_buddy_huge_page.
* Former alloc_fresh_huge_page becomes alloc_pool_huge_page because we put
the new page directly to the pool
* alloc_surplus_huge_page can drop the opencoded prep_new_huge_page code
as it uses alloc_fresh_huge_page now
* others lose their excessive prefix underscores to make names shorter

alloc_surplus_huge_page increases the pool size and the number of
surplus pages opportunistically to prevent from races with the pool size
change. See commit d1c3fb1f8f29 ("hugetlb: introduce
nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl") for more details.
The resulting code is unnecessarily hairy, cause code duplication and
doesn't allow to share the allocation paths. Moreover pool size changes
tend to be very seldom so optimizing for them is not really reasonable.
Simplify the code and allow to allocate a fresh surplus page as long as
we are under the overcommit limit and then recheck the condition after
the allocation and drop the new page if the situation has changed. This
should provide a reasonable guarantee that an abrupt allocation requests
will not go way off the limit.
If we consider races with the pool shrinking and enlarging then we
should be reasonably safe as well. In the first case we are off by one
in the worst case and the second case should work OK because the page is
not yet visible. We can waste CPU cycles for the allocation but that
should be acceptable for a relatively rare condition.
