      x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info on ASUS M2V-MX SE · 29cf7a30
      Paul Menzel authored 
      In summary, this DMI quirk uses the _CRS info by default for the ASUS
M2V-MX SE by turning on `pci=use_crs` and is similar to the quirk
added by commit 2491762c ("x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info on
ASRock ALiveSATA2-GLAN") whose commit message should be read for further
information.

Since commit 3e3da00c

 ("x86/pci: AMD one chain system to use pci
read out res") Linux gives the following oops:

Trusting the ACPI _CRS information (`pci=use_crs`) fixes this problem.

    $ dmesg | grep -i crs # with the quirk
    PCI: Using host bridge windows from ACPI; if necessary, use "pci=nocrs" and report a bug

The match has to be against the DMI board entries though since the vendor entries are not populated.

    DMI: System manufacturer System Product Name/M2V-MX SE, BIOS 0304    10/30/2007

This quirk should be removed when `pci=use_crs` is enabled for machines
from 2006 or earlier or some other solution is implemented.

Using coreboot [1] with this board the problem does not exist but this
quirk also does not affect it either. To be safe though the check is
tightened to only take effect when the BIOS from American Megatrends is
used.

        15:13 < ruik> because i have there only one root bus

      bridge: leave carrier on for empty bridge · b64b73d7
      stephen hemminger authored 
      

This resolves a regression seen by some users of bridging.
Some users use the bridge like a dummy device.
They expect to be able to put an IPv6 address on the device
with no ports attached. Although there are better ways of doing
this, there is no reason to not allow it.

Note: the bridge still will reflect the state of ports in the
bridge if there are any added.

      lis3: fix regression of HP DriveGuard with 8bit chip · 05faadcf
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      Commit 2a7fade7

 ("hwmon: lis3: Power on corrections") caused a
regression on HP laptops with 8bit chip.  Writing CTRL2_BOOT_8B bit seems
clearing the BIOS setup, and no proper interrupt for DriveGuard will be
triggered any more.

Since the init code there is basically only for embedded devices, put a
pdata check so that the problematic initialization will be skipped for
hp_accel stuff.

Simon Kirby reported that on his RAID setup with idedisk underneath
the box OOMs after a couple of days of runtime. Running with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK pointed to idedisk_prep_fn() which unconditionally
allocates an ide_cmd struct. However, ide_requeue_and_plug() can be
called more than once per request, either from the request issue or the
IRQ handler path and do blk_peek_request() ends up in idedisk_prep_fn()
repeatedly, allocating a struct ide_cmd everytime and "forgetting" the
previous pointer.

Make sure the code reuses the old allocated chunk.

      make PACKET_STATISTICS getsockopt report consistently between ring and non-ring · 7091fbd8
      Willem de Bruijn authored 
      

This is a minor change.

Up until kernel 2.6.32, getsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_STATISTICS,
...) would return total and dropped packets since its last invocation. The
introduction of socket queue overflow reporting [1] changed drop
rate calculation in the normal packet socket path, but not when using a
packet ring. As a result, the getsockopt now returns different statistics
depending on the reception method used. With a ring, it still returns the
count since the last call, as counts are incremented in tpacket_rcv and
reset in getsockopt. Without a ring, it returns 0 if no drops occurred
since the last getsockopt and the total drops over the lifespan of
the socket otherwise. The culprit is this line in packet_rcv, executed
on a drop:

drop_n_acct:
        po->stats.tp_drops = atomic_inc_return(&sk->sk_drops);

As it shows, the new drop number it taken from the socket drop counter,
which is not reset at getsockopt. I put together a small example
that demonstrates the issue [2]. It runs for 10 seconds and overflows
the queue/ring on every odd second. The reported drop rates are:
ring: 16, 0, 16, 0, 16, ...
non-ring: 0, 15, 0, 30, 0, 46, 0, 60, 0 , 74.

Note how the even ring counts monotonically increase. Because the
getsockopt adds tp_drops to tp_packets, total counts are similarly
reported cumulatively. Long story short, reinstating the original code, as
the below patch does, fixes the issue at the cost of additional per-packet
cycles. Another solution that does not introduce per-packet overhead
is be to keep the current data path, record the value of sk_drops at
getsockopt() at call N in a new field in struct packetsock and subtract
that when reporting at call N+1. I'll be happy to code that, instead,
it's just more messy.

      net: xen-netback: correctly restart Tx after a VM restore/migrate · d0e5d832
      David Vrabel authored 
      If a VM is saved and restored (or migrated) the netback driver will no
longer process any Tx packets from the frontend.  xenvif_up() does not
schedule the processing of any pending Tx requests from the front end
because the carrier is off.  Without this initial kick the frontend
just adds Tx requests to the ring without raising an event (until the
ring is full).

This was caused by 47103041

 (net:
xen-netback: convert to hw_features) which reordered the calls to
xenvif_up() and netif_carrier_on() in xenvif_connect().

      bonding: properly stop queuing work when requested · a0db2dad
      Andy Gospodarek authored 
      

During a test where a pair of bonding interfaces using ARP monitoring
were both brought up and torn down (with an rmmod) repeatedly, a panic
in the timer code was noticed.  I tracked this down and determined that
any of the bonding functions that ran as workqueue handlers and requeued
more work might not properly exit when the module was removed.

There was a flag protected by the bond lock called kill_timers that is
set when the interface goes down or the module is removed, but many of
the functions that monitor link status now unlock the bond lock to take
rtnl first.  There is a chance that another CPU running the rmmod could
get the lock and set kill_timers after the first check has passed.

This patch does not allow any function to queue work that will make
itself run unless kill_timers is not set.  I also noticed while doing
this work that bond_resend_igmp_join_requests did not have a check for
kill_timers, so I added the needed call there as well.
