Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows
Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested
successfully by me.
Notes:
1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.
2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.
3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

ieee80211_rx() must be called with softirqs disabled
since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx()
and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not
be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same
time.
It may be possible to remove this requirement after a
careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking
improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around
netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet
processing to process context in mac80211, instead of
to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.

This patch (as1295) fixes a recently-added bug in the USB serial core.
If certain kinds of errors occur during probing, the core may call a
serial driver's release method without previously calling the attach
method. This causes some drivers (io_ti in particular) to perform an
invalid memory access.
The patch adds a new flag to keep track of whether or not attach has
been called.

The DAPM_HP widget names are:

From soc machine drivers to use with the tpa6130a2 amplifier,

{"TPA6130A2 Left", NULL, "CODEC LEFT OUT"},
{"TPA6130A2 Right", NULL, "CODEC RIGHT OUT"},

When the IPV6 conf is used, the function sysctl_set_parent is called and the

The above patch added new conf "force_tllao" into the array addrconf_sysctl,

DEVCONF_MAX + 1 but the real size is DEVCONF_MAX + 2, so the problem is

UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for
several setups.
4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An
incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long
chains hurt latency.
Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every
needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip
route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper
Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can
force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and
rhash_entries.
dmesg logs two new lines :
[ 0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
[ 0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)

Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: new sysctl for sending TLLAO with unicast NAs
Neighbor advertisements responding to unicast neighbor solicitations
did not include the target link-layer address option. This patch adds
a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this
option should be sent even with unicast NAs.
The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in
some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets.
Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition
(section 4.4, Target link-layer address)

After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the
relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately. This should
not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive.
A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics.
This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the
components to be reset. Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of
those requested, and must indicate the actual subset. This allows the
use of generic component masks and some future expansion.

We add a parameter to gnet_stats_copy_rate_est() function so that
it can use gen_estimator_active(bstats, r), as suggested by Jarek.
This parameter can be NULL if check is not necessary, (htb for
example has a mandatory rate estimator)

IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
Original patch was done by Alexandre Cassen <acassen@freebox.fr>
based on old Internet-Draft.

When routing daemon wants to enable forwarding of multicast traffic it
performs something like:
struct vifctl vc = {
.vifc_vifi = 1,
.vifc_flags = 0,
.vifc_threshold = 1,
.vifc_rate_limit = 0,
.vifc_lcl_addr = ip, /* <--- ip address of physical
interface, e.g. eth0 */
.vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
};
setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc));
This leads (in the kernel) to calling vif_add() function call which
search the (physical) device using assigned IP address:
dev = ip_dev_find(net, vifc->vifc_lcl_addr.s_addr);
The current API (struct vifctl) does not allow to specify an
interface other way than using it's IP, and if there are more than a
single interface with specified IP only the first one will be found.
The attached patch (against 2.6.30.4) allows to specify an interface
by its index, instead of IP address:
struct vifctl vc = {
.vifc_vifi = 1,
.vifc_flags = VIFF_USE_IFINDEX, /* NEW */
.vifc_threshold = 1,
.vifc_rate_limit = 0,
.vifc_lcl_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0"), /* NEW */
.vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
};
setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc));

An incoming datagram must bring into cpu cache *lot* of cache lines,
in particular : (other parts omitted (hash chains, ip route cache...))
On 32bit arches :
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf) =0x30 (read)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) =0x34 (rw)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_sleep) =0x50 (read)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc) =0x64 (rw)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0x74 (rw)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x98 (rw)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_callback_lock)=0xcc (rw)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0xd8 (read if we add dropcount support, rw if frame dropped)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter) =0xf8 (read)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_socket) =0x138 (read)
offsetof(struct sock, sk_data_ready) =0x15c (read)
We can avoid sk->sk_socket and socket->fasync_list referencing on sockets
with no fasync() structures. (socket->fasync_list ptr is probably already in cache
because it shares a cache line with socket->wait, ie location pointed by sk->sk_sleep)
This avoids one cache line load per incoming packet for common cases (no fasync())
We can leave (or even move in a future patch) sk->sk_socket in a cold location

Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.
But Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.
So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899
The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
if (now == part->stamp)
return;
- if (part->in_flight) {
+ if (part_in_flight(part)) {
__part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
__part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));
With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

Sometimes it is desirable to have a mux which does not reflect any
direct register configuration but which will instead only have an
effect implicitly (for example, as a result of changing which parts
of the device are powered up). Provide a virtual mux for this purpose.

The sign info used for filters in the kernel is also useful to
applications that process the trace stream. Add it to the format
files and make it available to userspace.
