  • …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.

  • When I merged the bundle creation code, I introduced a bogus
    flowi value in the bundle. Instead of getting from the caller,
    it was instead set to the flow in the route object, which is
    totally different.

    The end result is that the bundles we created never match, and
    we instead end up with an ever growing bundle list.

    Thanks to Jamal for find this problem.

  • As reported by Alexey Dobriyan:

    --------------------
    setkey now takes several seconds to run this simple script
    and it spits "recv: Resource temporarily unavailable" messages.

    #!/usr/sbin/setkey -f
    flush;
    spdflush;

    add A B ipcomp 44 -m tunnel -C deflate;
    add B A ipcomp 45 -m tunnel -C deflate;

    spdadd A B any -P in ipsec
    ipcomp/tunnel/192.168.1.2-192.168.1.3/use;
    spdadd B A any -P out ipsec
    ipcomp/tunnel/192.168.1.3-192.168.1.2/use;
    --------------------

    Obviously applications want the events even when the table
    is empty. So we cannot make this behavioral change.

  • Add __percpu sparse annotations to net.

    These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
    in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
    through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

    The macro and type tricks around snmp stats make things a bit
    interesting. DEFINE/DECLARE_SNMP_STAT() macros mark the target field
    as __percpu and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS() macro is updated accordingly. All
    snmp_mib_*() users which used to cast the argument to (void **) are
    updated to cast it to (void __percpu **).

  • Eric's version fixed it for pfkey. This one is for xfrm user.
    I thought about amortizing those two get_acqseq()s but it seems
    reasonable to have two of these sequence spaces for the two different
    interfaces.

  • xfrm_state_clone calls kfree instead of xfrm_state_put to free
    a failed state. Depending on the state of the failed state, it
    can cause leaks to things like module references.

    All states should be freed by xfrm_state_put past the point of
    xfrm_init_state.

  • GC is non-existent in netns, so after you hit GC threshold, no new
    dst entries will be created until someone triggers cleanup in init_net.

    Make xfrm4_dst_ops and xfrm6_dst_ops per-netns.
    This is not done in a generic way, because it woule waste
    (AF_MAX - 2) * sizeof(struct dst_ops) bytes per-netns.

    Reorder GC threshold initialization so it'd be done before registering
    XFRM policies.

  • This fixes the following bug in the current implementation of
    net/xfrm: SAD entries timeouts do not count the time spent by the machine
    in the suspended state. This leads to the connectivity problems because
    after resuming local machine thinks that the SAD entry is still valid, while
    it has already been expired on the remote server.

    The cause of this is very simple: the timeouts in the net/xfrm are bound to
    the old mod_timer() timers. This patch reassigns them to the
    CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimer.

    I have been using this version of the patch for a few months on my
    machines without any problems. Also run a few stress tests w/o any
    issues.

    This version of the patch uses tasklet_hrtimer by Peter Zijlstra
    (commit 9ba5f0).

    This patch is against 2.6.31.4. Please CC me.
