Pablo Neira Ayuso: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for your net tree. This large batch that includes fixes for ipset, netfilter ingress, nf_tables dynamic set instantiation and a longstanding Kconfig dependency problem. More specifically, they are: 1) Add missing check for empty hook list at the ingress hook, from Florian Westphal. 2) Input and output interface are swapped at the ingress hook, reported by Patrick McHardy. 3) Resolve ipset extension alignment issues on ARM, patch from Jozsef Kadlecsik. 4) Fix bit check on bitmap in ipset hash type, also from Jozsef. 5) Release buckets when all entries have expired in ipset hash type, again from Jozsef. 6) Oneliner to initialize conntrack tuple object in the PPTP helper, otherwise the conntrack lookup may fail due to random bits in the structure holes, patch from Anthony Lineham. 7) Silence a bogus gcc warning in nfnetlink_log, from Arnd Bergmann. 8) Fix Kconfig dependency problems with TPROXY, socket and dup, also from Arnd. 9) Add __netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats() to allow creating percpu counters from atomic context, this is required by the follow up fix for nf_tables. 10) Fix crash from the dynamic set expression, we have to add new clone operation that should be defined when a simple memcpy is not enough. This resolves a crash when using per-cpu counters with new Patrick McHardy's flow table nft support. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix null deref in xt_TEE netfilter module, from Eric Dumazet. 2) Several spots need to get to the original listner for SYN-ACK packets, most spots got this ok but some were not. Whilst covering the remaining cases, create a helper to do this. From Eric Dumazet. 3) Missiing check of return value from alloc_netdev() in CAIF SPI code, from Rasmus Villemoes. 4) Don't sleep while != TASK_RUNNING in macvtap, from Vlad Yasevich. 5) Use after free in mvneta driver, from Justin Maggard. 6) Fix race on dst->flags access in dst_release(), from Eric Dumazet. 7) Add missing ZLIB_INFLATE dependency for new qed driver.

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe: "Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for (really) fast devices. The code has been reviewed and has been sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation. Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported. A framework is in the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune this. And we'll add libaio support as well soon.

Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Olof Johansson: "As we've enabled multiplatform kernels on ARM, and greatly done away with the contents under arch/arm/mach-*, there's still need for SoC-related drivers to go somewhere. Many of them go in through other driver trees, but we still have drivers/soc to hold some of the "doesn't fit anywhere" lowlevel code that might be shared between ARM and ARM64 (or just in general makes sense to not have under the architecture directory). This branch contains mostly such code: - Drivers for qualcomm SoCs for SMEM, SMD and SMD-RPM, used to communicate with power management blocks on these SoCs for use by clock, regulator and bus frequency drivers. - Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus driver, again used to communicate with PMICs. - Drivers for ARM's SCPI (System Control Processor). Not to be confused with PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface). SCPI is used to communicate with the assistant embedded cores doing power management, and we have yet to see how many of them will implement this for their hardware vs abstracting in other ways (or not at all like in the past). - To make confusion between SCPI and PSCI more likely, this release also includes an update of PSCI to interface version 1.0. - Rockchip support for power domains. - A driver to talk to the firmware on Raspberry Pi" * tag 'armsoc-drivers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (57 commits) soc: qcom: smd-rpm: Correct size of outgoing message bus: sunxi-rsb: Add driver for Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus bus: sunxi-rsb: Add Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus (RSB) controller bindings ARM: bcm2835: add mutual inclusion protection drivers: psci: make PSCI 1.0 functions initialization version dependent dt-bindings: Correct paths in Rockchip power domains binding document soc: rockchip: power-domain: don't try to print the clock name in error case soc: qcom/smem: add HWSPINLOCK dependency clk: berlin: add cpuclk ARM: berlin: dts: add CLKID_CPU for BG2Q ARM: bcm2835: Add the Raspberry Pi firmware driver soc: qcom: smem: Move RPM message ram out of smem DT node soc: qcom: smd-rpm: Correct the active vs sleep state flagging soc: qcom: smd: delete unneeded of_node_put firmware: qcom-scm: build for correct architecture level soc: qcom: smd: Correct SMEM items for upper channels qcom-scm: add missing prototype for qcom_scm_is_available() qcom-scm: fix endianess issue in __qcom_scm_is_call_available soc: qcom: smd: Reject send of too big packets soc: qcom: smd: Handle big endian CPUs ...

2015-11-09kernel.h: make abs() work with 64-bit typesMichal Nazarewicz1-21/+24
For 64-bit arguments, the abs macro casts it to an int which leads to lost precision and may cause incorrect results. To deal with 64-bit types abs64 macro has been introduced but still there are places where abs macro is used incorrectly. To deal with the problem, expand abs macro such that it operates on s64 type when dealing with 64-bit types while still returning long when dealing with smaller types. This fixes one known bug (per John): The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error correction uses a : logarithmic approximation, so any time adjtimex() adjusts the clock : steering, timekeeping_freqadjust() quickly approximates the correct clock : frequency over a series of ticks. : : Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced in commit : dc491596f639438 (Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz), : used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the size of : the approximated adjustment to be made. : : Per include/linux/kernel.h: "abs() should not be used for 64-bit types : (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()". : : Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to take a : quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the proper frequency, : which caused the adjustments to be made much slower then intended (most : easily observed when large adjustments are made).

2015-11-09coredump: add DAX filtering for ELF coredumpsRoss Zwisler1-1/+3
Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings. This is desirable because DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very large. Update the coredump_filter documentation in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX coredump flags. Also update the documented default value of coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page. The documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the kernel config. This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF binaries and coredump are enabled.

2015-11-07block: add block polling supportJens Axboe2-0/+13
Add basic support for polling for specific IO to complete. This uses the cookie that blk-mq passes back, which enables the block layer to pass this cookie to the driver to spin for a specific request. This will be combined with request latency tracking, so we can make qualified decisions about when to poll and when not to. For now, for benchmark purposes, we add a sysfs file that controls whether polling is enabled or not.

2015-11-06dma-mapping: tidy up dma_parms default handlingRobin Murphy1-7/+11
Many DMA controllers and other devices set max_segment_size to indicate their scatter-gather capability, but have no interest in segment_boundary_mask. However, the existence of a dma_parms structure precludes the use of any default value, leaving them as zeros (assuming a properly kzalloc'ed structure). If a well-behaved IOMMU (or SWIOTLB) then tries to respect this by ensuring a mapped segment does not cross a zero-byte boundary, hilarity ensues. Since zero is a nonsensical value for either parameter, treat it as an indicator for "default", as might be expected. In the process, clean up a bit by replacing the bare constants with slightly more meaningful macros and removing the superfluous "else" statements.

2015-11-06signals: kill block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals()Oleg Nesterov1-6/+1
It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals(). Just for example, 1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the group stop. 2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or SIGKILL. And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least the last 10+ years.

2015-11-06rbtree: clarify documentation of rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()Cody P Schafer1-2/+10
I noticed that commit a20135ffbc44 ("writeback: don't drain bdi_writeback_congested on bdi destruction") added a usage of rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() in mm/backing-dev.c which appears to try to rb_erase() elements from an rbtree while iterating over it using rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe(). Doing this will cause random nodes to be missed by the iteration because rb_erase() may rebalance the tree, changing the ordering that we're trying to iterate over. The previous documentation for rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() wasn't clear that this wasn't allowed, it was taken from the docs for list_for_each_entry_safe(), where erasing isn't a problem due to list_del() not reordering. Explicitly warn developers about this potential pit-fall. Note that I haven't fixed the actual issue that (it appears) the commit referenced above introduced (not familiar enough with that code). In general (and in this case), the patterns to follow are: - switch to rb_first() + rb_erase(), don't use rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe(). - keep the postorder iteration and don't rb_erase() at all. Instead just clear the fields of rb_node & cgwb_congested_tree as required by other users of those structures.

2015-11-06lib/kasprintf.c: introduce kvasprintf_constRasmus Villemoes1-0/+2
This adds kvasprintf_const which tries to use kstrdup_const if possible: If the format string contains no % characters, or if the format string is exactly "%s", we delegate to kstrdup_const. Otherwise, we fall back to kvasprintf. Just as for kstrdup_const, the main motivation is to save memory by reusing .rodata when possible. The return value should be freed by kfree_const, just like for kstrdup_const. There is deliberately no kasprintf_const: In the vast majority of cases, the format string argument is a literal, so one can determine statically whether one could instead use kstrdup_const directly (which would also require one to change all corresponding kfree calls to kfree_const).

2015-11-06mm: make compound_head() robustKirill A. Shutemov4-118/+41
Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some context. There's one example: CPU0 CPU1 isolate_migratepages_block() page_count() compound_head() !!PageTail() == true put_page() tail->first_page = NULL head = tail->first_page alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP) prep_compound_page() tail->first_page = head __SetPageTail(p); !!PageTail() == true <head == NULL dereferencing> The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in practice. But who knows. We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head() within struct page to be able to update them in one shot. The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set. The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0 set. hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is removed from the union. The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch. That means page->compound_head shares storage space with: - page->lru.next; - page->next; - page->rcu_head.next; That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses bit 0 of the word. page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can get false positive PageTail().

2015-11-06mm: pack compound_dtor and compound_order into one word in struct pageKirill A. Shutemov2-9/+21
The patch halves space occupied by compound_dtor and compound_order in struct page. For compound_order, it's trivial long -> short conversion. For get_compound_page_dtor(), we now use hardcoded table for destructor lookup and store its index in the struct page instead of direct pointer to destructor. It shouldn't be a big trouble to maintain the table: we have only two destructor and NULL currently. This patch free up one word in tail pages for reuse. This is preparation for the next patch.

2015-11-06mm, fs: introduce mapping_gfp_constraint()Michal Hocko1-0/+7
There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more generic gfp mask which would be used for allocations which are not directly related to the page cache but they are performed in the same context. Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and easier to track. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

2015-11-06mm: page_alloc: hide some GFP internals and document the bits and flag combinationsMel Gorman1-80/+171
Andrew stated the following We have quite a history of remote parts of the kernel using weird/wrong/inexplicable combinations of __GFP_ flags. I tend to think that this is because we didn't adequately explain the interface. And I don't think that gfp.h really improved much in this area as a result of this patchset. Could you go through it some time and decide if we've adequately documented all this stuff? This patches first moves some GFP flag combinations that are part of the MM internals to mm/internal.h. The rest of the patch documents the __GFP_FOO bits under various headings and then documents the flag combinations. It will not help callers that are brain damaged but the clarity might motivate some fixes and avoid future mistakes.

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demandMel Gorman1-2/+4
High-order watermark checking exists for two reasons -- kswapd high-order awareness and protection for high-order atomic requests. Historically the kernel depended on MIGRATE_RESERVE to preserve min_free_kbytes as high-order free pages for as long as possible. This patch introduces MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC that reserves pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand and avoids using those blocks for order-0 allocations. This is more flexible and reliable than MIGRATE_RESERVE was. A MIGRATE_HIGHORDER pageblock is created when an atomic high-order allocation request steals a pageblock but limits the total number to 1% of the zone. Callers that speculatively abuse atomic allocations for long-lived high-order allocations to access the reserve will quickly fail. Note that SLUB is currently not such an abuser as it reclaims at least once. It is possible that the pageblock stolen has few suitable high-order pages and will need to steal again in the near future but there would need to be strong justification to search all pageblocks for an ideal candidate. The pageblocks are unreserved if an allocation fails after a direct reclaim attempt. The watermark checks account for the reserved pageblocks when the allocation request is not a high-order atomic allocation. The reserved pageblocks can not be used for order-0 allocations. This may allow temporary wastage until a failed reclaim reassigns the pageblock. This is deliberate as the intent of the reservation is to satisfy a limited number of atomic high-order short-lived requests if the system requires them. The stutter benchmark was used to evaluate this but while it was running there was a systemtap script that randomly allocated between 1 high-order page and 12.5% of memory's worth of order-3 pages using GFP_ATOMIC. This is much larger than the potential reserve and it does not attempt to be realistic. It is intended to stress random high-order allocations from an unknown source, show that there is a reduction in failures without introducing an anomaly where atomic allocations are more reliable than regular allocations. The amount of memory reserved varied throughout the workload as reserves were created and reclaimed under memory pressure. The allocation failures once the workload warmed up were as follows; 4.2-rc5-vanilla 70% 4.2-rc5-atomic-reserve 56% The failure rate was also measured while building multiple kernels. The failure rate was 14% but is 6% with this patch applied. Overall, this is a small reduction but the reserves are small relative to the number of allocation requests. In early versions of the patch, the failure rate reduced by a much larger amount but that required much larger reserves and perversely made atomic allocations seem more reliable than regular allocations.

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: remove MIGRATE_RESERVEMel Gorman1-8/+2
MIGRATE_RESERVE preserves an old property of the buddy allocator that existed prior to fragmentation avoidance -- min_free_kbytes worth of pages tended to remain contiguous until the only alternative was to fail the allocation. At the time it was discovered that high-order atomic allocations relied on this property so MIGRATE_RESERVE was introduced. A later patch will introduce an alternative MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC so this patch deletes MIGRATE_RESERVE and supporting code so it'll be easier to review. Note that this patch in isolation may look like a false regression if someone was bisecting high-order atomic allocation failures.
