Currently we allocated anon_inode_inode in anon_inodefs_mount. This is
somewhat fragile as if that function ever gets called again, it will
overwrite anon_inode_inode pointer. So move the initialization of
anon_inode_inode to anon_inode_init().

This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.
And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.
So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)

If we were on a non-optimus device, we'd return -EINVAL, this would
lead to the over engineered runtime pm system to go into an error
state, subsequent get_sync's would fail, so we'd never be able
to open the device again.
(like really get_sync shouldn't fail if the device isn't powered
down).

Some applications didn't expect recvmsg() on a non blocking socket
could return -EINTR. This possibility was added as a side effect
of commit b3ca9b02b00704 ("net: fix multithreaded signal handling in
unix recv routines").
To hit this bug, you need to be a bit unlucky, as the u->readlock
mutex is usually held for very small periods.

net: mvneta: fix usage as a module
The following set of two patches fix the usage of the mvneta driver
when built as a module, and used in RGMII configurations. It is
somewhat similar to a previous fix that was made by Arnaud Patard, but
which was limited to SGMII configurations.

The mvneta driver currently uses of_iomap(), which has two drawbacks:
it doesn't request the resource, and it isn't devm-style so some error
handling is needed.
This commit switches to use devm_ioremap_resource() instead, which
automatically requests the resource (so the I/O registers region shows
up properly in /proc/iomem), and also is devm-style, which allows to
get rid of some error handling to unmap the I/O registers region.

Commit 5445eaf309ff ('mvneta: Try to fix mvneta when compiled as
module') fixed the mvneta driver to make it work properly when loaded
as a module in SGMII configuration, which was tested successful by the
author on the Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3, which uses SGMII.
However, it turns out that the Armada XP GP, which uses RGMII, is
affected by a similar problem: its SERDES configuration is lost when
mvneta is loaded as a module, because this configuration is set by the
bootloader, and then lost because the clock is gated by the clock
framework until the mvneta driver is loaded again and the clock is
re-enabled.
However, it turns out that for the RGMII case, setting the SERDES
configuration is not sufficient: the PCS enable bit in the
MVNETA_GMAC_CTRL_2 register must also be set, like in the SGMII
configuration.
Therefore, this commit reworks the SGMII/RGMII initialization: the
only difference between the two now is a different SERDES
configuration, all the rest is identical.
In detail, to achieve this, the commit:
* Renames MVNETA_SGMII_SERDES_CFG to MVNETA_SERDES_CFG because it is
not specific to SGMII, but also used on RGMII configurations.
* Adds a MVNETA_RGMII_SERDES_PROTO definition, that must be used as
the MVNETA_SERDES_CFG value in RGMII configurations.
* Removes the mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() and mvneta_port_sgmii_config()
functions, and instead directly do the SGMII/RGMII configuration in
mvneta_port_up(), from where those functions where called. It is
worth mentioning that mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() had an 'enable'
parameter that was always passed as '1', so it was pretty useless.
* Reworks the mvneta_port_up() function to set the MVNETA_SERDES_CFG
register to the appropriate value depending on the RGMII vs. SGMII
configuration. It also unconditionally set the PCS_ENABLE bit (was
already done for SGMII, but is now also needed for RGMII), and sets
the PORT_RGMII bit (which was already done for both SGMII and
RGMII).
This commit was successfully tested with mvneta compiled as a module,
on both the OpenBlocks AX3 (SGMII configuration) and the Armada XP GP
(RGMII configuration).

The bond send arp request to indicate that the slave is active, and if the bond dev
is a vlan dev, it will set the vlan tag in skb to notice the vlan group, but the
bond could only send a skb with 802.1q proto, not support for QinQ.
So add outer tag for lower vlan tag and inner tag for upper vlan tag to support QinQ,
The new skb will be consist of two vlan tag just like this:
dst mac | src mac | outer vlan tag | inner vlan tag | data | .....
If We don't need QinQ, the inner vlan tag could be set to 0 and use outer vlan tag
as a normal vlan group.
Using "ip link" to configure the bond for QinQ and add test log:
ip link add link bond0 bond0.20 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 20
ip link add link bond0.20 bond0.20.200 type vlan proto 802.1q id 200

The cypress PS/2 trackpad models supported by the cypress_ps2 driver
emulate BTN_RIGHT events in firmware based on the finger position, as part
of this no motion events are sent when the finger is in the button area.
The INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD property is there to indicate to userspace that
BTN_RIGHT events should be emulated in userspace, which is not necessary
in this case.
When INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD is advertised userspace will wait for a motion
event before propagating the button event higher up the stack, as it needs
current abs x + y data for its BTN_RIGHT emulation. Since in the
cypress_ps2 pads don't report motion events in the button area, this means
that clicks in the button area end up being ignored, so
INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD actually causes problems for these touchpads, and
removing it fixes:

Since the early days TX stops if there isn't enough free pending slots to
consume a maximum sized (slot-wise) packet. Probably the reason for that is to
avoid the case when we don't have enough free pending slot in the ring to finish
the packet. But if we make sure that the pending ring has the same size as the
shared ring, that shouldn't really happen. The frontend can only post packets
which fit the to the free space of the shared ring. If it doesn't, the frontend
has to stop, as it can only increase the req_prod when the whole packet fits
onto the ring.
This patch avoid using this checking, makes sure the 2 ring has the same size,
and remove a checking from the callback. As now we don't stop the NAPI instance
on this condition, we don't have to wake it up if we free pending slots up.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"While on my flight to Linux Collaboration Summit, I was working on my
slides for the event trigger tutorial. I booted a 3.14-rc7 kernel to
perform what I wanted to teach and cut and paste it into my slides.
When I tried the traceon event trigger with a condition attached to it
(turns tracing on only if a field of the trigger event matches a
condition set by the user), nothing happened. Tracing would not turn
on. I stopped working on my presentation in order to find what was
wrong.
It ended up being the way trace event triggers work when they have
conditions. Instead of copying the fields, the condition code just
looks at the fields that were copied into the ring buffer. This works
great, unless tracing is off. That's because when the event is
reserved on the ring buffer, the ring buffer returns a NULL pointer,
this tells the tracing code that the ring buffer is disabled. This
ends up being a problem for the traceon trigger if it is using this
information to check its condition.
Luckily the code that checks if tracing is on returns the ring buffer
to use (because the ring buffer is determined by the event file also
passed to that field). I was able to easily solve this bug by
checking in that helper function if the returned ring buffer entry is
NULL, and if so, also check the file flag if it has a trace event
trigger condition, and if so, to pass back a temp ring buffer to use.
This will allow the trace event trigger condition to still test the
event fields, but nothing will be recorded"
* tag 'trace-fixes-v3.14-rc7-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Fix traceon trigger condition to actually turn tracing on
|
|
While working on my tutorial for 2014 Linux Collaboration Summit
I found that the traceon trigger did not work when conditions were
used. The other triggers worked fine though. Looking into it, it
is because of the way the triggers use the ring buffer to store
the fields it will use for the condition. But if tracing is off, nothing
is stored in the buffer, and the tracepoint exits before calling the
trigger to test the condition. This is fine for all the triggers that
only work when tracing is on, but for traceon trigger that is to
work when tracing is off, nothing happens.
The fix is simple, just use a temp ring buffer to record the event
if tracing is off and the event has a trace event conditional trigger
enabled. The rest of the tracepoint code will work just fine, but
the tracepoint wont be recorded in the other buffers.
