Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "Bug fixes galore, mostly in drivers as is often the case: 1) USB gadget and cdc_eem drivers need adjustments to their frame size lengths in order to handle VLANs correctly. From Ian Coolidge. 2) TIPC and several network drivers erroneously call tasklet_disable before tasklet_kill, fix from Xiaotian Feng. 3) r8169 driver needs to apply the WOL suspend quirk to more chipsets, fix from Cyril Brulebois. 4) Fix multicast filters on RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_35 r8169 chips, from Nathan Walp. 5) FDB netlink dumps should use RTM_NEWNEIGH as the message type, not zero. From John Fastabend. 6) Fix smsc95xx tx checksum offload on big-endian, from Steve Glendinning. 7) __inet_diag_dump() needs to repsect and report the error value returned from inet_diag_lock_handler() rather than ignore it. Otherwise if an inet diag handler is not available for a particular protocol, we essentially report success instead of giving an error indication. Fix from Cyrill Gorcunov. 8) When the QFQ packet scheduler sees TSO/GSO packets it does not handle things properly, and in fact ends up corrupting it's datastructures as well as mis-schedule packets. Fix from Paolo Valente. 9) Fix oopser in skb_loop_sk(), from Eric Leblond. 10) CXGB4 passes partially uninitialized datastructures in to FW commands, fix from Vipul Pandya. 11) When we send unsolicited ipv6 neighbour advertisements, we should send them to the link-local allnodes multicast address, as per RFC4861. Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 12) There is some kind of bug in the usbnet's kevent deferral mechanism, but more immediately when it triggers an uncontrolled stream of kernel messages spam the log. Rate limit the error log message triggered when this problem occurs, as sending thousands of error messages into the kernel log doesn't help matters at all, and in fact makes further diagnosis more difficult. From Steve Glendinning. 13) Fix gianfar restore from hibernation, from Wang Dongsheng. 14) The netlink message attribute sizes are wrong in the ipv6 GRE driver, it was using the size of ipv4 addresses instead of ipv6 ones :-) Fix from Nicolas Dichtel." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: gre6: fix rtnl dump messages gianfar: ethernet vanishes after restoring from hibernation usbnet: ratelimit kevent may have been dropped warnings ipv6: send unsolicited neighbour advertisements to all-nodes net: usb: cdc_eem: Fix rx skb allocation for 802.1Q VLANs usb: gadget: g_ether: fix frame size check for 802.1Q cxgb4: Fix initialization of SGE_CONTROL register isdn: Make CONFIG_ISDN depend on CONFIG_NETDEVICES cxgb4: Initialize data structures before using. af-packet: fix oops when socket is not present pkt_sched: enable QFQ to support TSO/GSO net: inet_diag -- Return error code if protocol handler is missed net: bnx2x: Fix typo in bnx2x driver smsc95xx: fix tx checksum offload for big endian rtnetlink: Use nlmsg type RTM_NEWNEIGH from dflt fdb dump ptp: update adjfreq callback description r8169: allow multicast packets on sub-8168f chipset. r8169: Fix WoL on RTL8168d/8111d. drivers/net: use tasklet_kill in device remove/close process tipc: do not use tasklet_disable before tasklet_kill

Pull sparc fixes from David Miller: "Several build/bug fixes for sparc, including: 1) Configuring a mix of static vs. modular sparc64 crypto modules didn't work, remove an ill-conceived attempt to only have to build the device match table for these drivers once to fix the problem. Reported by Meelis Roos. 2) Make the montgomery multiple/square and mpmul instructions actually usable in 32-bit tasks. Essentially this involves providing 32-bit userspace with a way to use a 64-bit stack when it needs to. 3) Our sparc64 atomic backoffs don't yield cpu strands properly on Niagara chips. Use pause instruction when available to achieve this, otherwise use a benign instruction we know blocks the strand for some time. 4) Wire up kcmp 5) Fix the build of various drivers by removing the unnecessary blocking of OF_GPIO when SPARC. 6) Fix unintended regression wherein of_address_to_resource stopped being provided.

of/address: sparc: Declare of_address_to_resource() as an extern function for sparc again

2012-11-10T00:30:50+00:00

This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc. The bug was introduced in a850a7554442f08d3e910c6eeb4ee216868dda1e, "of/address: add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However, for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c Solution suggested by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Andreas Larsson Acked-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: David S.

revert "epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app"

2012-11-09T05:41:46+00:00

Revert commit 03a7beb55b9f ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael Kerrisk, copied below. We'll revisit this for 3.8. : I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and : done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program : tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...) : : There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange, : so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than : that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be : correctly documented. : : Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following : scenario in a multithreaded application: : : 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations, : and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information : corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by : epoll_wait(). : : 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL) : a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and : delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache. : : 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have : previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information : about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using : information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus, : there is a potential race. : : 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing : so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait() : call, which would of course blow thread concurrency. : : Right? : : Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to : confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since : the description that has accompanied the patches so far : has been a bit sparse : : 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file : descriptor means (safely) doing the following: : (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list : using EPOLL_CTL_DEL : (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache : : 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in : conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. : : 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in : conjunction is a logical error. : : 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using : EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows: : : a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should : should EPOLLONESHOT. : : b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it : should do the following: : : [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely : deleted by the thread that made this call. : [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY, : then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling : thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to : indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor : should perform the deletion operation. : : Is all of the above correct? : : The implementation depends on checking on whether : (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0 : This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always : set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT : causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be : cleared. : : A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE : is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things : stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does : not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following : (slightly surprising) behavior: : : (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0 : (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted). : (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY. : : This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an : indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using : epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which : EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it : not make sense to return an error to user space for this case? Cc: Michael Kerrisk Cc: "Paton J. Lewis" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mmc: sdhci-of-esdhc: disable CMD23 for some Freescale SoCs

2012-11-07T19:55:29+00:00

CMD23 causes lots of errors in kernel on some freescale SoCs (P1020, P1021, P1022, P1024, P1025 and P4080) when MMC card used, which is because these controllers does not support CMD23, even on the SoCs which declares CMD23 is supported.
