  • The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
    a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info
    available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
    which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
    40 VFs were created per interface.

    Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
    calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
    enough data to satisfy the request.

  • gen_kill_estimator() API is incomplete or not well documented, since
    caller should make sure an RCU grace period is respected before
    freeing stats_lock.

    This was partially addressed in commit 5d944c640b4
    (gen_estimator: deadlock fix), but same problem exist for all
    gen_kill_estimator() users, if lock they use is not already RCU
    protected.

    A code review shows xt_RATEEST.c, act_api.c, act_police.c have this
    problem. Other are ok because they use qdisc lock, already RCU
    protected.

  • The previous patch encourage me to go look at all the messages in
    the network scheduler and fix them. Many messages were missing
    any severity level. Some serious ones that should never happen
    were turned into WARN(), and the random noise messages that were
    handled changed to pr_debug().

  • …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.

  • something-bility is spelled as something-blity
    so a grep for 'blit' would find these lines

    this is so trivial that I didn't split it by subsystem / copy
    additional maintainers - all changes are to comments
    The only purpose is to get fewer false positives when grepping
    around the kernel sources.

    Okay :) Here is the last round, before the night !

    Thanks again

    [RFC] pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Don't report fake rate estimators

    We currently send TCA_STATS_RATE_EST elements to netlink users, even if no estimator
    is running.

    # tc -s -d qdisc
    qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
    Sent 112833764978 bytes 1495081739 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
    rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

    User has no way to tell if the "rate 0bit 0pps" is a real estimation, or a fake
    one (because no estimator is active)

    After this patch, tc command output is :
    $ tc -s -d qdisc
    qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
    Sent 561075 bytes 1196 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
    backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

    We add a parameter to gnet_stats_copy_rate_est() function so that
    it can use gen_estimator_active(bstats, r), as suggested by Jarek.

    This parameter can be NULL if check is not necessary, (htb for
    example has a mandatory rate estimator)

  • Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic
    machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids
    such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to
    better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to
    WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be
    promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future.

    I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion.
