  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Clean-up: hch suggested that the RPC client shouldn't pollute the name
    space used by the generic skb manipulation routines in net/core/skbuff.c.

    Rename a couple of types in xdr.h to adhere to this convention.

  • Clean-up: eliminate xs_tcp_copy_data -- it's exactly the same logic as the
    common routine skb_read_bits. The UDP and TCP socket read code now share
    the same routine for copying data into an xdr_buf.

    Now that skb_read_bits() is exported, rename it to avoid confusing it with
    a generic skb_* function. As these functions are XDR-specific, they should
    not have names that suggest they are of generic use. Also rename
    skb_read_and_csum_bits() to be consistent.

  • Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete
    which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults. If that happens,
    it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack
    trace with the device name. In future it can turn off RX checksum.

    I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to
    use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the
    exceptions of:

    * Those places where checksums are done bit by bit. These will call
    netdev_rx_csum_fault directly.

    * The following have not been completely checked/converted:

    ipmr
    ip_vs
    netfilter
    dccp

    This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger
    and David S. Miller.

  • Clean-up: Move some code that is common to both RPC client- and server-side
    socket transports into its own source file, net/sunrpc/socklib.c.

    Test-plan:
    Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Millions of fsx operations over
    UDP, client and server. Connectathon over UDP.
