  • Rename LL_SO to BUSY_POLL_SO
    Rename sysctl_net_ll_{read,poll} to sysctl_busy_{read,poll}
    Fix up users of these variables.
    Fix documentation for sysctl.

    a patch for the socket.7 man page will follow separately,
    because of limitations of my mail setup.

  • Pull networking updates from David Miller:
    "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
    window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
    this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
    made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
    trickeled in.

    Highlights:

    1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
    handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
    device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().

    Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.

    Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
    commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")

    From Eliezer Tamir.

    2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
    more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
    addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
    Eric Dumazet.

    3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
    Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
    Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.

    4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
    Pavel Emelyanov.

    5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
    Rony Efraim.

    6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.

    7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
    Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.

    8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
    from Cong Wang.

    9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
    Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
    support receiving on multiple UDP ports.

    10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
    lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
    Borkmann.

    11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
    devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.

    12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
    manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
    From Daniel Borkmann.

    13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
    from Johannes Berg.

    14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
    by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.

    15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
    Cheng.

    16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
    Horman.

    17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
    pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle
    network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri
    Pirko and Timo Teräs.

    18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
    Huewe.

    19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
    O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet.

    20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
    like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.

    21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.

    22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
    during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From
    Willem de Bruijn.

    23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
    Dumazet.

    24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
    burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also
    from Eric Dumazet.

    25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
    from Vlad Yasevich.

    26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.

    27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
    too, from David Majnemer.

    28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
    to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.

    29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
    upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

    30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

  • Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch
    memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it. With these
    changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global
    variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(),
    free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count().

    With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep
    totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

  • Address more review comments from last round of code review.
    1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
    pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
    on ARM64.
    2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
    by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
    3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

  • arch/h8300/include/asm/io.h supports only H83007 (H8/3006,3007), H83068
    (H8/3065,3066,3067,3068,3069), and H8S2678 (H8S/2670,2673,2674R,2675,2676)

    (H8/3044,3045,3046,3047,3048,3052) CPU support at the Kconfig level.

    This fixes build failures in allmodconfig/allyesconfig builds, as these

    :

    Commit 126de6b20bfb82cc19012d5048f11f339ae5a021 ("linkage.h: fix build
    breakage due to symbol prefix handling") broke it even more, by removing
    SYMBOL_NAME() and replacing it by __SYMBOL_NAME().

    Commit f8ce1faf55955de62e0a12e330c6d9a526071f65 ("Merge tag
    'modules-next-for-linus' of
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linuxkernel/git/rusty/linux")
    also removed __SYMBOL_NAME(), hidden in a merge conflict resolution.

    Hence, replace the use of SYMBOL_NAME() and SYMBOL_NAME_LABEL() in h8300
    assembler sources by hardcoding the underscore symbol prefix, like other
    architectures (blackfin/metag) do.

    This allows to kill SYMBOL_NAME_LABEL(). Now becomes empty,
    and h8300 can be switched to asm-generic/linkage.h.
