      sched: Calculate effective load even if local weight is 0 · 9722c2da
      Rik van Riel authored
      Thomas Hellstrom bisected a regression where erratic 3D performance is
      experienced on virtual machines as measured by glxgears. It identified
      commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA
      node") as the problem which had modified the behaviour of effective_load.
      
      Effective load calculates the difference to the system-wide load if a
      scheduling entity was moved to another CPU. The task group is not heavier
      as a result of the move but overall system load can increase/decrease as a
      result of the change. Commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs
      on a preferred NUMA node") changed effective_load to make it suitable for
      calculating if a particular NUMA node was compute overloaded. To reduce
      the cost of the function, it assumed that a current sched entity weight
      of 0 was uninteresting but that is not the case.
      
      wake_affine() uses a weight of 0 for sync wakeups on the grounds that it
      is assuming the waking task will sleep and not contribute to load in the
      near future. In this case, we still want to calculate the effective load
      of the sched entity hierarchy. As effective_load is no longer used by
      task_numa_compare since commit fb13c7ee
      
       (sched/numa: Use a system-wide
      search to find swap/migration candidates), this patch simply restores the
      historical behaviour.

      It can be a problem when a pattern is loaded via the firmware interface.
      LP55xx common driver has already locked the mutex in 'lp55xx_firmware_loaded()'.
      So it should be deleted.
      
      On the other hand, locks are required in store_engine_load()
      on updating program memory.

      net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding · f663dd9a
      Jason Wang authored
      
      
      Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
      will cause several issues:
      
      - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
        instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
        lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
        control path.
      - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
        watchdog.
      - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
        when tso is disabled for lower device.
      
      Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
      selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
      extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
      forwarding transmission.
      
      With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
      to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
      a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
      dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.
      
      In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
      provides a necessary synchronization method.

      bnx2x: fix DMA unmapping of TSO split BDs · 95e92fd4

      bnx2x triggers warnings with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y:
      
        WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2253 at lib/dma-debug.c:887 check_unmap+0xf8/0x920()
        bnx2x 0000:28:00.0: DMA-API: device driver frees DMA memory with

      The reason is that bnx2x splits a TSO BD into two BDs (headers + data)
      using one DMA mapping for both, but it uses only the length of the first
      BD when unmapping.
      
      This patch fixes the bug by unmapping the whole length of the two BDs.
