Pull arch/tile bug fixes from Chris Metcalf: "This includes Paul Gortmaker's change to fix the disintegration issues on tile, a fix to unbreak the tilepro ethernet driver, and a backlog of bugfix-only changes from internal Tilera development over the last few months. They have all been to LKML and on linux-next for the last few days. The EDAC change to MAINTAINERS is an oddity but discussion on the linux-edac list suggested I ask you to pull that change through my tree since they don't have a tree to pull edac changes from at the moment." * 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: (39 commits) drivers/net/ethernet/tile: fix netdev_alloc_skb() bombing MAINTAINERS: update EDAC information tilepro ethernet driver: fix a few minor issues tile-srom.c driver: minor code cleanup edac: say "TILEGx" not "TILEPro" for the tilegx edac driver arch/tile: avoid accidentally unmasking NMI-type interrupt accidentally arch/tile: remove bogus performance optimization arch/tile: return SIGBUS for addresses that are unaligned AND invalid arch/tile: fix finv_buffer_remote() for tilegx arch/tile: use atomic exchange in arch_write_unlock() arch/tile: stop mentioning the "kvm" subdirectory arch/tile: export the page_home() function. arch/tile: fix pointer cast in cacheflush.c arch/tile: fix single-stepping over swint1 instructions on tilegx arch/tile: implement panic_smp_self_stop() arch/tile: add "nop" after "nap" to help GX idle power draw arch/tile: use proper memparse() for "maxmem" options arch/tile: fix up locking in pgtable.c slightly arch/tile: don't leak kernel memory when we unload modules arch/tile: fix bug in delay_backoff() ...

Fix from Eric Dumazet. 11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device. David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until it's downstream can't take data any more. 14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver changes, re-add. From Marc Kleine-Budde. 15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen. 16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (47 commits) net: fix a race in sock_queue_err_skb() netlink: fix races after skb queueing doc, net: Update ndo_start_xmit return type and values doc, net: Remove instruction to set net_device::trans_start doc, net: Update netdev operation names doc, net: Update documentation of synchronisation for TX multiqueue doc, net: Remove obsolete reference to dev->poll ethtool: Remove exception to the requirement of holding RTNL lock MAINTAINERS: update for Marvell Ethernet drivers bonding: properly unset current_arp_slave on slave link up phonet: Check input from user before allocating tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once ipv6: fix array index in ip6_mc_add_src() mlx4: allocate just enough pages instead of always 4 pages stmmac: re-add IFF_UNICAST_FLT for dwmac1000 bnx2x: Clear MDC/MDIO warning message bnx2x: Fix BCM57711+BCM84823 link issue bnx2x: Clear BCM84833 LED after fan failure bnx2x: Fix BCM84833 PHY FW version presentation bnx2x: Fix link issue for BCM8727 boards. ...

bonding: properly unset current_arp_slave on slave link up

2012-04-05T23:07:59Z

When a slave comes up, we're unsetting the current_arp_slave without removing active flags from it, which can lead to situations where we have more than one slave with active flags in active-backup mode. To avoid this situation we must remove the active flags from a slave before removing it as a current_arp_slave.

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton: "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to merge things. I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion." * emailed from Andrew Morton : (16 patches) memcg swap: use mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap fix backlight: add driver for DA9052/53 PMIC v1 C6X: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() MAINTAINERS: add entry for sparse checker MAINTAINERS: fix REMOTEPROC F: typo alpha: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open() scripts/coccinelle/api/simple_open.cocci: semantic patch for simple_open() libfs: add simple_open() hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module drivers/rtc/rtc-88pm860x.c: fix rtc irq enable callback fs/xattr.c:setxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr() sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig() proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA

simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()

2012-04-05T22:25:50Z

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Al Viro Cc: Julia Lawall Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mlx4: allocate just enough pages instead of always 4 pages

2012-04-05T00:34:29Z

The driver uses a 2-order allocation, which is too much on architectures like ppc64, which has a 64KiB page. This particular allocation is used for large packet fragments that may have a size of 512, 1024, 4096 or fill the whole allocation. So, a minimum size of 16384 is good enough and will be the same size that is used in architectures of 4KiB sized pages. This will avoid allocation failures that we see when the system is under stress, but still has plenty of memory, like the one below. This will also allow us to set the interface MTU to higher values like 9000, which was not possible on ppc64 without this patch.
