__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One
of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This
calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the
current processor based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less
registers are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these
operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in
non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using
a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

Without this patch fanotify_init does not validate the value passed in
event_f_flags.
When a fanotify event is read from the fanotify file descriptor a new
file descriptor is created where file.f_flags = event_f_flags.
Internal and external open flags are stored together in field f_flags of
struct file. Hence, an application might create file descriptors with
internal flags like FMODE_EXEC, FMODE_NOCMTIME set.
Jan Kara and Eric Paris both aggreed that this is a bug and the value of
event_f_flags should be checked:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/522https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/539
This updated patch version considers the comments by Michael Kerrisk in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/4/10
With the patch the value of event_f_flags is checked.
When specifying an invalid value error EINVAL is returned.
Internal flags are disallowed.
File creation flags are disallowed:
O_CREAT, O_DIRECTORY, O_EXCL, O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_TRUNC, and O_TTY_INIT.
Flags which do not make sense with fanotify are disallowed:
__O_TMPFILE, O_PATH, FASYNC, and O_DIRECT.
This leaves us with the following allowed values:
O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR are basic functionality. The are stored in the
bits given by O_ACCMODE.
O_APPEND is working as expected. The value might be useful in a logging
application which appends the current status each time the log is opened.
O_LARGEFILE is needed for files exceeding 4GB on 32bit systems.
O_NONBLOCK may be useful when monitoring slow devices like tapes.
O_NDELAY is equal to O_NONBLOCK except for platform parisc.
To avoid code breaking on parisc either both flags should be
allowed or none. The patch allows both.
__O_SYNC and O_DSYNC may be used to avoid data loss on power disruption.
O_NOATIME may be useful to reduce disk activity.
O_CLOEXEC may be useful, if separate processes shall be used to scan files.
Once this patch is accepted, the fanotify_init.2 manpage has to be updated.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support

bugs for other archs. So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.
Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

Commit efe4208 ("ipv6: make lookups simpler and faster") introduced a
regression in udp_v6_mcast_next(), resulting in multicast packets not
reaching the destination sockets under certain conditions.
The packet's IPv6 addresses are wrongly compared to the IPv6 addresses
from the function's socket argument, which indicates the starting point
for looping, instead of the loop variable. If the addresses from the
first socket do not match the packet's addresses, no socket in the list
will match.

Fix support for macvlan devices on top bonding
Currently, macvlan devices do not work well over bond interfaces.
Everything works well, untill a failover is triggered in the bond
device and then macvlan becomes unreachble untill arp entries
are flushed. This series adds needed functionality to
handle correct notifications and update switches with mac addresses
assigned to macvlans.
The first patch simply addes IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag to bonds since they
already correctly manage the unicast filter list of the slaves, so
we might as well prevent the bond from needlessly going into promiscuous
mode.
The second patch adds notifier handler to macvlan to trigger correct
ARP notifications.
The third patch adds handling for TLB and RLB modes that use special
ETH_P_LOOPBACK type packets to teach switch about mac addresses.
It also allow ARPs for the macvlan mac addresses to be handled by
RLB mode.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
To make TLB mode work, the patch allows learning packets
to be sent using mac addresses assigned to macvlan devices,
also taking into an account vlans that may be between the
bond and macvlan device.
To make RLB work, all we have to do is accept ARP packets
for addresses added to the bond dev->uc list. Since RLB
mode will take care to update the peers directly with
correct mac addresses, learning packets for these addresses
do not have be send to switch.

Bonding and team drivers generate specific events during failover
that trigger switch updates. When a macvlan device is configured
on top of bonding, we want switches to learn about the macvlan
devices as well. This patch adds a handler to macvlan driver to
propagate these events to all macvlan devices. We let the generic
inetdev event handler do the work.
This allows macvlan to operated correctly over active-backup
mode bond.

Bonding devices manage the unicast filters of the underlying
interfaces, but do not turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag. Thus
anytime a unicast address is added to the bond, the bond is
places in promiscuous mode.
Turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT on the bond device so that the bond does
not go into promiscuous mode needlesly. If an underlying device
does not support unicast filtering, that device will automaticall
enter promiscuous mode already.

This reverts commit 30f38d2fdd.
fib_triestat is surrounded by a big lie: while it claims that it's a
seq_file (fib_triestat_seq_open, fib_triestat_seq_show), it isn't:
static const struct file_operations fib_triestat_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.open = fib_triestat_seq_open,
.read = seq_read,
.llseek = seq_lseek,
.release = single_release_net,
};
Yes, fib_triestat is just a regular file.
A small detail (assuming CONFIG_NET_NS=y) is that while for seq_files
you could do seq_file_net() to get the net ptr, doing so for a regular
file would be wrong and would dereference an invalid pointer.
The fib_triestat lie claimed a victim, and trying to show the file would
be bad for the kernel. This patch just reverts the issue and fixes
fib_triestat, which still needs a rewrite to either be a seq_file or
stop claiming it is.

This is rebased version of Andrew's V8 patch series. The original cover letter:
--------------------
xen-net{back, front}: Multiple transmit and receive queues
This patch series implements multiple transmit and receive queues (i.e.
multiple shared rings) for the xen virtual network interfaces.
The series is split up as follows:
- Patch 1 brings the 'grant_copy_op' array back into struct xenvif, in
preparation for multi-queue support. See the patch itself for more details.
- Patches 2 and 4 factor out the queue-specific data for netback and
netfront respectively, and modify the rest of the code to use these
as appropriate.
- Patches 3 and 5 introduce new XenStore keys to negotiate and use
multiple shared rings and event channels, and code to connect these
as appropriate.
- Patch 6 documents the XenStore keys required for the new feature
in include/xen/interface/io/netif.h
All other transmit and receive processing remains unchanged, i.e. there
is a kthread per queue and a NAPI context per queue.
The performance of these patches has been analysed in detail, with
results available at:
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen-netback_and_xen-netfront_multi-queue_performance_testing
To summarise:
* Using multiple queues allows a VM to transmit at line rate on a 10
Gbit/s NIC, compared with a maximum aggregate throughput of 6 Gbit/s
with a single queue.
* For intra-host VM--VM traffic, eight queues provide 171% of the
throughput of a single queue; almost 12 Gbit/s instead of 6 Gbit/s.
* There is a corresponding increase in total CPU usage, i.e. this is a
scaling out over available resources, not an efficiency improvement.
* Results depend on the availability of sufficient CPUs, as well as the
distribution of interrupts and the distribution of TCP streams across
the queues.
Queue selection is currently achieved via an L4 hash on the packet (i.e.
TCP src/dst port, IP src/dst address) and is not negotiated between the
frontend and backend, since only one option exists. Future patches to
support other frontends (particularly Windows) will need to add some
capability to negotiate not only the hash algorithm selection, but also
allow the frontend to specify some parameters to this.
Note that queue selection is a decision by the transmitting system about
which queue to use for a particular packet. In general, the algorithm
may differ between the frontend and the backend with no adverse effects.
Queue-specific XenStore entries for ring references and event channels
are stored hierarchically, i.e. under .../queue-N/... where N varies
from 0 to one less than the requested number of queues (inclusive). If
only one queue is requested, it falls back to the flat structure where
the ring references and event channels are written at the same level as
other vif information.
V8:
- Squash the queue error handling code into patch 3.
- Update the documentation (patch 6) according to comments on the
equivalent patch to Xen.
V7:
- Rebase on latest net-next, which includes the netback grant mapping
patch series from Zoltan Kiss
- Reduce QUEUE_NAME_SIZE by 1 to avoid double-counting the trailing '\0'
- Simplify the queue hashing by using (hash % num_queues) instead of
multiply & shift.
- Add ratelimited warning for invalid queue selection.
- Fix error handling to correctly tear down already setup queues.
- Use dev->real_num_tx_queues instead of separately maintaining a
count of the number of queues.
V6:
- Use 'max_queues' as the module param. name for both netback and netfront.
V5:
- Fix bug in xenvif_free() that could lead to an attempt to transmit an
skb after the queue structures had been freed.
- Improve the XenStore protocol documentation in netif.h.
- Fix IRQ_NAME_SIZE double-accounting for null terminator.
- Move rx_gso_checksum_fixup stat into struct xenvif_stats (per-queue).
- Don't initialise a local variable that is set in both branches (xspath).
V4:
- Add MODULE_PARM_DESC() for the multi-queue parameters for netback
and netfront modules.
- Move del_timer_sync() in netfront to after unregister_netdev, which
restores the order in which these functions were called before applying
these patches.
V3:
- Further indentation and style fixups.
V2:
- Rebase onto net-next.
- Change queue->number to queue->id.
- Add atomic operations around the small number of stats variables that
are not queue-specific or per-cpu.
- Fixup formatting and style issues.
- XenStore protocol changes documented in netif.h.
- Default max. number of queues to num_online_cpus().
- Check requested number of queues does not exceed maximum.
--------------------
I rebased this on top of net-next. No functional change is introduced. The
patch that needed some extra care was "xen-netback: Factor queue-specific data
into queue struct" because it clashed with a fix introduced in net. A simple
test of creating guest, iperf, then shutting down guest worked as expected.
The last patch fixes a minor problem that queue name is not initialised in
xen-netfront, resulting in names like "-tx" "-rx" in /proc/interrupt.
Changes since v9 (no functional change introduced):
* include commit summary in the commit message of first patch
* fold David Vrabel's Reviewed-by into last patch

Build on the refactoring of the previous patch to implement multiple
queues between xen-netfront and xen-netback.
Check XenStore for multi-queue support, and set up the rings and event
channels accordingly.
Write ring references and event channels to XenStore in a queue
hierarchy if appropriate, or flat when using only one queue.
Update the xennet_select_queue() function to choose the queue on which
to transmit a packet based on the skb hash result.

In preparation for multi-queue support in xen-netfront, move the
queue-specific data from struct netfront_info to struct netfront_queue,
and update the rest of the code to use this.
Also adds loops over queues where appropriate, even though only one is
configured at this point, and uses alloc_etherdev_mq() and the
corresponding multi-queue netif wake/start/stop functions in preparation
for multiple active queues.
Finally, implements a trivial queue selection function suitable for
ndo_select_queue, which simply returns 0, selecting the first (and
only) queue.

Builds on the refactoring of the previous patch to implement multiple
queues between xen-netfront and xen-netback.
Writes the maximum supported number of queues into XenStore, and reads
the values written by the frontend to determine how many queues to use.
Ring references and event channels are read from XenStore on a per-queue
basis and rings are connected accordingly.
Also adds code to handle the cleanup of any already initialised queues
if the initialisation of a subsequent queue fails.

This array was allocated separately in commit ac3d5ac2 ("xen-netback:
fix guest-receive-side array sizes") due to it being very large, and a
struct xenvif is allocated as the netdev_priv part of a struct
net_device, i.e. via kmalloc() but falling back to vmalloc() if the
initial alloc. fails.
In preparation for the multi-queue patches, where this array becomes
part of struct xenvif_queue and is always allocated through vzalloc(),
move this back into the struct xenvif.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to e1000, igb and ixgbe.
Emil provides his version 2 fix for the detection of SFP+ capable interfaces.
In cases where the driver is loaded while there are no SFP+ modules in cage,
the interface was not being detected as SFP capable. Resolve the issue by
identifying interfaces with no PHY type set as SFP capable which allows the
driver to detect the SFP module when the interface is brought up. In this
version 2 of the patch, the 82599 specific check was removed since we only
have 82598 devices that are SFP capable.
Jacob removes the including of the export header in the ixgbe PTP core, since
it is not needed. Renames igb_ptp_enable() to igb_ptp_feature_enable() to
better reflect the actual functions purpose.
Todd fixes the ethtool loopback test for i354 backplane devices since we
do not know what PHY is to be used for the devices, use MAC loopback for
ethtool tests. Todd also sets the packet buffer size register defaults for
i210 devices.
Yongjian Xu removes the check for skb->len being negative or zero since there
is never a case where it would be zero or negative for e1000.
Manuel Schölling updates e1000 to use the time_after() helper function.
v2: Fix indentation on wrapped line in patch 3 of the series based on
feedback from David Miller

Pull block follow-up bits from Jens Axboe:
"A few minor (but important) fixes for blk-mq for the -rc1 window.
- Hot removal potential oops fix for single queue devices. From me.
- Two merged patches in late May meant that we accidentally lost a
fix for freeing an active queue. Fix that up. From me.
- A change of the blk_mq_tag_to_rq() API, passing in blk_mq_tags, to
make life considerably easier for scsi-mq. From me.
- A schedule-while-atomic fix from Ming Lei, which would hit if the
tag space was exhausted.
- Missing __percpu annotation in one place in blk-mq. Found by the
magic Wu compile bot due to code being moved around by the previous
patch, but it's actually an older issue. From Ming Lei.
- Clearing of tag of a flush request at end_io time. From Ming Lei"

There's an alternative 5-line mini interrupt controller in the R4k MB ASIC

corresponding R3k systems. This change documents the findings so far.
