be2net: create RSS rings even in multi-channel configs

Changes from commit df505e were incorrectly over-written by commit 10ef9ab.
Fixing the same.

Change log of the original fix:
    Currently RSS rings are not created in a multi-channel config.
    RSS rings can be created on one (out of four) interfaces per port in a
    multi-channel config. Doing this insulates the driver from a FW bug wherin
    multi-channel config is wrongly reported even when not enabled. This also
    helps performance in a multi-channel config, as one interface per port gets
    RSS rings.

12 years agonet: Set device operstate at registration time
Ben Hutchings [Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:16:51 +0000 (22:16 +0100)]
net: Set device operstate at registration time

The operstate of a device is initially IF_OPER_UNKNOWN and is updated
asynchronously by linkwatch after each change of carrier state
reported by the driver.  The default carrier state of a net device is
on, and this will never be changed on drivers that do not support
carrier detection, thus the operstate remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN.

For devices that do support carrier detection, the driver must set the
carrier state to off initially, then poll the hardware state when the
device is opened.  However, we must not activate linkwatch for a
unregistered device, and commit b473001 ('net: Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered.') ensured that we don't.  But
this means that the operstate for many devices that support carrier
detection remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN when it should be IF_OPER_DOWN.

The same issue exists with the dormant state.

The proper initialisation sequence, avoiding a race with opening of
the device, is:

        rtnl_lock();
        rc = register_netdevice(dev);
        if (rc)
                goto out_unlock;
        netif_carrier_off(dev); /* or netif_dormant_on(dev) */
        rtnl_unlock();

but it seems silly that this should have to be repeated in so many
drivers.  Further, the operstate seen immediately after opening the
device may still be IF_OPER_UNKNOWN due to the asynchronous nature of
linkwatch.

Commit 22604c8 ('net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28') attempted
to fix this by setting the operstate synchronously, but it was
reverted as it could lead to deadlock.

This initialises the operstate synchronously at registration time
only.

small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)

they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will

modifications:

The sklist modifications can be just reprotected with mutex since they already
occur in a sleeping context. The inuse counters modifications are trickier -- the
__this_cpu_-s are used inside, thus requiring the caller to handle the potential
issues with contexts himself. Since packet sockets' counters are modified in two
places only (packet_create and packet_release) we only need to protect the context
from being preempted. BH disabling is not required in this case.

12 years agobonding: support for IPv6 transmit hashing
John Eaglesham [Tue, 21 Aug 2012 20:43:35 +0000 (20:43 +0000)]
bonding: support for IPv6 transmit hashing

Currently the "bonding" driver does not support load balancing outgoing
traffic in LACP mode for IPv6 traffic. IPv4 (and TCP or UDP over IPv4)
are currently supported; this patch adds transmit hashing for IPv6 (and
TCP or UDP over IPv6), bringing IPv6 up to par with IPv4 support in the
bonding driver. In addition, bounds checking has been added to all
transmit hashing functions.

The algorithm chosen (xor'ing the bottom three quads of the source and
destination addresses together, then xor'ing each byte of that result into
the bottom byte, finally xor'ing with the last bytes of the MAC addresses)
was selected after testing almost 400,000 unique IPv6 addresses harvested
from server logs. This algorithm had the most even distribution for both
big- and little-endian architectures while still using few instructions. Its
behavior also attempts to closely match that of the IPv4 algorithm.

The IPv6 flow label was intentionally not included in the hash as it appears
to be unset in the vast majority of IPv6 traffic sampled, and the current
algorithm not using the flow label already offers a very even distribution.

Fragmented IPv6 packets are handled the same way as fragmented IPv4 packets,
ie, they are not balanced based on layer 4 information. Additionally,
IPv6 packets with intermediate headers are not balanced based on layer
4 information. In practice these intermediate headers are not common and
this should not cause any problems, and the alternative (a packet-parsing
loop and look-up table) seemed slow and complicated for little gain.

net: remove delay at device dismantle

I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to
a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues.

These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls.

We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before
kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER.

As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed
device swap on busy dst.

To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called
after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock.

Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care !

Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL

Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after

12 years agomm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended or taking too long
Mel Gorman [Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:16:17 +0000 (16:16 -0700)]
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.

Early in the test everything looks fine

  procs -------------------memory------------------ ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- -----cpu-------

There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.

commit [b2eef8c0: 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.

12 years agomm: have order > 0 compaction start near a pageblock with free pages
Mel Gorman [Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:16:15 +0000 (16:16 -0700)]
mm: have order > 0 compaction start near a pageblock with free pages

Commit 7db8889ab05b ("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

                if (cc->order > 0 && (!cc->wrapped ||
                                      zone->compact_cached_free_pfn >
                                      cc->start_free_pfn))
                        pfn = min(pfn, zone->compact_cached_free_pfn);

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

[ "Why 20?" I hear you ask. Or at least I did.

  Here's the reason why: RS5C348_BIT_PM is 32, and is - stupidly -
  included in the RS5C348_HOURS_MASK define.  So it's really subtracting
  out that bit to get "hour+12".  But then because it does things modulo
  12, it needs to add the 12 in again afterwards anyway.

  This code is confused.  It would be much clearer if RS5C348_HOURS_MASK
  just didn't include the RS5C348_BIT_PM bit at all, then it wouldn't
  need to do the silly subtract either.

So, in __slab_alloc, the unalignment pfmemalloc and ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS

straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different.  The page
table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
remains the same.

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

diagram:

  parent

                 dst_pte

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

    src_pte == huge_pte_offset                      src_pte == huge_pte_offset

                                                  UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)

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.

Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.

12 years agomm: change nr_ptes BUG_ON to WARN_ON
Hugh Dickins [Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:15:45 +0000 (16:15 -0700)]
mm: change nr_ptes BUG_ON to WARN_ON

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.

12 years agoaf_netlink: force credentials passing [CVE-2012-3520]

af_netlink: force credentials passing [CVE-2012-3520]

Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and
potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a
kernel bug.  The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data
to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not
including any such data at all or including the correct data from the
peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX).

This bug was introduced in commit 16e572626961
(af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default)

This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as
before the regression.

Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in
netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it
might break some programs.
