The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.
1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().
There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.
This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

The breakage is caused by the change to use the CB area for flagging
whether a packet has been queued due to proxy_delay. This area gets
cleared every time arp_rcv gets called. Unfortunately packets delayed
due to proxy_delay also go through arp_rcv when they are reprocessed.
In fact, I can't think of a reason why delayed proxy packets should go
through netfilter again at all. So the easiest solution is to bypass
that and go straight to arp_process.
This is essentially what would've happened before netfilter support
was added to ARP.

During the build for ARM machine type "fortunet", this error occurred:
CC net/sysctl_net.o
net/sysctl_net.c:36: error: 'core_table' undeclared here (not in a function)
It appears that the following configuration settings cause this error
due to a missing include:
CONFIG_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_NET=y
# CONFIG_INET is not set
core_table appears to be declared in net/sock.h. if CONFIG_INET were
defined, net/sock.h would have been included via:
sysctl_net.c -> net/ip.h -> linux/ip.h -> net/sock.h
so include it directly.

Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other
pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo)
(The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line,
so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs)
1) First some performance data :
--------------------------------
tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established()
The most time critical code is :
sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
}
The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
"struct sock" is prefetched.
As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
lines.
This can be problematic if some chains are very long.
2) The goal
-----------
The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
using one cache line per iteration.
3) Description of the patch
---------------------------
Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.
struct sock_common {
unsigned short skc_family;
volatile unsigned char skc_state;
unsigned char skc_reuse;
int skc_bound_dev_if;
struct hlist_node skc_node;
struct hlist_node skc_bind_node;
atomic_t skc_refcnt;
+ unsigned int skc_hash;
struct proto *skc_prot;
};
Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
line in case of a miss.
Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
(ehash_size - 1)
File include/net/inet_hashtables.h
64 bits platforms :
#define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))
((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie)) && \
((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
32bits platforms:
#define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr == (__saddr)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr == (__daddr)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
- Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in
__inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and
__dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the
list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);

Test for VIA K8T800 north bridge instead of AMD K8 HyperTransport
bridge based on new information from Andi Kleen. The AMD
HyperTransport interface is not responsible for PCI transactions
and so the re-ordering is more likely done by the VIA north bridge.
This code is subject to change if we get more information from AMD
or VIA.
PCI Express devices are excluded from doing the read flush since all
chipsets in the write_reorder list are PCI chipsets.

I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit
architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time.
Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back
by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.
In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.
When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

2.6.14-rc2 does not assign cpus to proper nodeids on our em64t numa boxen.
Our boxes use acpi srat for parsing the numa information.
srat_detect_node() used phys_proc_id[] to get to the cpu's local apic id,
but phys_proc_id[] represents the cpu<->initial_apic_id mapping. The
following patch fixes this problem. Now apicid_to_node[] is properly
indexed with the local apic id.

In these drivers, scsi_remove_host() is called too late, at the point
it is called, the driver has already shut down too far to accept any
I/O that the shutdown might generate. Any generated I/O actually
triggers a panic.

calling scsi_host_put() until just before we kfree the ahc_softc.

There's a problem in our host release in that it calls
scsi_proc_hostdir_rm(). However, if you hold a reference to the host as
you remove the module, the host template (which proc uses) will be freed
and the system will panic when the host device is finally released.
Fix this by moving scsi_proc_hostdir_rm() to where it should be: in
scsi_remove_host().

This adds suspend support for the Radeon M11 chip in 12" iBooks
manufactured after July 2005. I don't know if the new 14" iBooks also
have that chip, so they might also be supported.
The chip identifies itself as "RV350 NV" (pci id 0x4e56), revision 0x80.
Apple calls it "Snowy", xfree86 names it "ATI FireGL Mobility T2 (M11)
NV (AGP)". So, we seem to be lucky here: The suspend-code for the M10
(which also is a "RV350 NV") works flawless for that chip.

We should always use bitmask ops, rather than depend on some ordering of
the different states. With the TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag, the inequality
doesn't really work.
Oleg Nesterov argues (likely correctly) that this test is unnecessary in
the first place. However, the minimal fix for now is to at least make
it work in the presense of TASK_NONINTERACTIVE. Waiting for consensus
from Roland & co on potential bigger cleanups.

The tests Alok carried out on Petr's box confirmed that cpu_to_node[BP] is
not setup early enough by numa_init_array due to the x86_64 changes in
2.6.14-rc*, and unfortunately set wrongly by the work around code in
numa_init_array(). cpu_to_node[0] gets set with 1 early and later gets set
properly to 0 during identify_cpu() when all cpus are brought up, but
confusing the numa slab in the process.
Here is a quick fix for this. The right fix obviously is to have
cpu_to_node[bsp] setup early for numa_init_array(). The following patch
will fix the problem now, and the code can stay on even when
cpu_to_node{BP] gets fixed early correctly.
Thanks to Petr for access to his box.

Fix the BP node_to_cpumask. 2.6.14-rc* broke the boot cpu bit as the
cpu_to_node(0) is now not setup early enough for numa_init_array.
cpu_to_node[] is setup much later at srat_detect_node on acpi srat based
em64t machines. This seems like a problem on amd machines too, Tested on
em64t though. /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpumap shows up sanely after

The up()/down() orders are incorrect in arch/x86_64/kprobes.c file.
kprobe_mutext is used to protect the free kprobe instruction slot list.
arch_prepare_kprobe applies for a slot from the free list, and
arch_remove_kprobe returns a slot to the free list. The incorrect up()/down()
orders to operate on kprobe_mutex fail to protect the free list. If 2 threads
try to get/return kprobe instruction slot at the same time, the free slot list
might be broken, or a free slot might be applied by 2 threads.

Fixes for deadlocks of the ieee1394 and scsi subsystems and long delays in
futile error recovery attempts when SBP-2 devices are removed or drivers are
unloaded.
- Complete commands quickly with DID_NO_CONNECT if the 1394 node is gone or if
the 1394 low-level driver was unloaded.
- Skip unnecessary work in the eh_abort_handler and eh_device_reset_handler if
the node or 1394 low-level driver is gone.
- Let scsi's high-level shut down gracefully when sbp2 is being unloaded or
detached from the 1394 unit. A call to scsi_remove_device is added for this
purpose, which requires us to store a scsi_device pointer.
- scsi_device pointer is obtained from slave_alloc hook and cleared by
slave_destroy. This avoids usage of the pointer after the scsi device was
deleted e.g. by the user via scsi_mod's sysfs interface.

This change removes a bogus error message from the IOC4 serial driver
interrupt handler.
This error message is bogus for two reasons. First, it can never occur
given that current code takes care to initialize IOC4 in such a way that
these "unknown" interrupts could never occur. Second, this code fails to
take into account that other drivers can share the IOC4 interrupt mechanism
through SA_SHIRQ, and thus this driver is not in-fact "all-knowing".
Finally, this error message triggers every time some "unknown" interrupt
occurs -- it's not rate limited or repetition limited in any way, thereby
effectively denying use of the console device. Given its bogosity in the
first place, it's best to just get rid of it entirely.
