Merge lockref infrastructure code by me and Waiman Long.
I already merged some of the preparatory patches that didn't actually do
any semantic changes earlier, but this merges the actual _reason_ for
those preparatory patches.The "lockref" structure is a combination "spinlock and reference count"
that allows optimized reference count accesses. In particular, it
guarantees that the reference count will be updated AS IF the spinlock
was held, but using atomic accesses that cover both the reference count
and the spinlock words, we can often do the update without actually
having to take the lock.This allows us to avoid the nastiest cases of spinlock contention on
large machines under heavy pathname lookup loads. When updating the
dentry reference counts on a large system, we'll still end up with the
cache line bouncing around, but that's much less noticeable than
actually having to spin waiting for the lock.* lockref:
lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg()
lockref: uninline lockref helper functions
vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()
vfs: use lockref_get_not_zero() for optimistic lockless dget_parent()
lockref: add 'lockref_get_or_lock() helper -
Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference
count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
contended.Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
spinlock.So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
"atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
so a locked region can still see the count change.The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
do three things:(1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
on such a u64 data type.(2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")(3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
Kconfig file.This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
32-bit mode).Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external
functions (the spinlock code), and we're going to create rather more
complicated versions of them that can do the reference count updates
locklessly.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from into fs/namei.c
and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead. It also
adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning
a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference
counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk.We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we
re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence
count. We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the
sequence count just once.That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence
count check is not. So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent
separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup
possible.Acked-by: Waiman Long
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
A valid parent pointer is always going to have a non-zero reference
count, but if we look up the parent optimistically without locking, we
have to protect against the (very unlikely) race against renaming
changing the parent from under us.We do that by using lockref_get_not_zero(), and then re-checking the
parent pointer after getting a valid reference.[ This is a re-implementation of a chunk from the original patch by
Waiman Long: "dcache: Enable lockless update of dentry's refcount".
I've completely rewritten the patch-series and split it up, but I'm
attributing this part to Waiman as it's close enough to his earlier
patch - Linus ]Signed-off-by: Waiman Long
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
This behaves like "lockref_get_not_zero()", but instead of doing nothing
if the count was zero, it returns with the lock held.This allows callers to revalidate the lockref-protected data structure
if required even if the count was zero to begin with, and possibly
increment the count if it passes muster.In particular, the dentry code wants this when it wants to turn an
RCU-protected dentry into a stable refcounted one: if the dentry count
it zero, but the sequence number still validates the dentry, we can take
a reference to it.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) There was a simplification in the ipv6 ndisc packet sending
attempted here, which avoided using memory accounting on the
per-netns ndisc socket for sending NDISC packets. It did fix some
important issues, but it causes regressions so it gets reverted here
too. Specifically, the problem with this change is that the IPV6
output path really depends upon there being a valid skb->sk
attached.The reason we want to do this change in some form when we figure out
how to do it right, is that if a device goes down the ndisc_sk
socket send queue will fill up and block NDISC packets that we want
to send to other devices too. That's really bad behavior.Hopefully Thomas can come up with a better version of this change.
2) Fix a severe TCP performance regression by reverting a change made
to dev_pick_tx() quite some time ago. From Eric Dumazet.3) TIPC returns wrongly signed error codes, fix from Erik Hugne.
4) Fix OOPS when doing IPSEC over ipv4 tunnels due to orphaning the
skb->sk too early. Fix from Li Hongjun.5) RAW ipv4 sockets can use the wrong routing key during lookup, from
Chris Clark.6) Similar to #1 revert an older change that tried to use plain
alloc_skb() for SYN/ACK TCP packets, this broke the netfilter owner
mark which needs to see the skb->sk for such frames. From Phil
Oester.7) BNX2x driver bug fixes from Ariel Elior and Yuval Mintz,
specifically in the handling of virtual functions.8) IPSEC path error propagations to sockets is not done properly when
we have v4 in v6, and v6 in v4 type rules. Fix from Hannes Frederic
Sowa.9) Fix missing channel context release in mac80211, from Johannes Berg.

in core IPv6' multicast code.RFC3810, 5.1.3. Maximum Response Code says:
The Maximum Response Code field specifies the maximum time allowed
before sending a responding Report. The actual time allowed, called
the Maximum Response Delay, is represented in units of milliseconds,
and is derived from the Maximum Response Code as follows: [...]As we update timers that work with jiffies, we need to convert it.

Currently we would still potentially suffer multicast packet loss if there
is just either an IGMP or an MLD querier: For the former case, we would
possibly drop IPv6 multicast packets, for the latter IPv4 ones. This is
because we are currently assuming that if either an IGMP or MLD querier
is present that the other one is present, too.This patch makes the behaviour and fix added in
"bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (b00589af3b04)
to also work if there is either just an IGMP or an MLD querier on the
link: It refines the deactivation of the snooping to be protocol
specific by using separate timers for the snooped IGMP and MLD queries
as well as separate timers for our internal IGMP and MLD queriers.Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"During the percpu reference counting update which was merged during
v3.11-rc1, the cgroup destruction path was updated so that a cgroup in
the process of dying may linger on the children list, which was
necessary as the cgroup should still be included in child/descendant
iteration while percpu ref is being killed.Unfortunately, I forgot to update cgroup destruction path accordingly
and cgroup destruction may fail spuriously with -EBUSY due to
lingering dying children even when there's no live child left - e.g.
"rmdir parent/child parent" will usually fail.This can be easily fixed by iterating through the children list to
verify that there's no live child left. While this is very late in
the release cycle, this bug is very visible to userland and I believe
the fix is relatively safe.Thanks Hugh for spotting and providing fix for the issue"

Allocating skbs when sending out neighbour discovery messages
currently uses sock_alloc_send_skb() based on a per net namespace
socket and thus share a socket wmem buffer space.If a netdevice is temporarily unable to transmit due to carrier
loss or for other reasons, the queued up ndisc messages will cosnume
all of the wmem space and will thus prevent from any more skbs to
be allocated even for netdevices that are able to transmit packets.The number of neighbour discovery messages sent is very limited,
simply use alloc_skb() and don't depend on any socket wmem space any
longer.This patch has orginally been posted by Eric Dumazet in a modified
