To work this patch also needs the other patches in this series.

VERSION: 4

DESCRIPTION

If the sync daemons run in a name space while it crashes
or get killed, there is no way to stop them except for a reboot.
When all patches are there, ip_vs_core will handle register_pernet_(),
i.e. ip_vs_sync_init() and ip_vs_sync_cleanup() will be removed.

Kernel threads should not increment the use count of a socket.
By calling sk_change_net() after creating a socket this is avoided.
sock_release cant be used intead sk_release_kernel() should be used.

Thanks Eric W Biederman for your advices.

This patch is based on net-next-2.6  ver 2.6.39-rc2

CHANGES
 Rev 2
   sock_create_kern() used instead of __sock_create()
   return codes of kthread_stop() used.
 Rev 3
   -
 Rev 4
   Check of return code changed to -ESRCH in __ip_vs_sync_cleanup()

* [v4 PATCH 3/6] IPVS: init and cleanup restructuring.
From: Hans Schillstrom @ 2011-05-01 16:50 UTC (permalink / raw)

REVISION 4

DESCRIPTION
This patch tries to restore the initial init and cleanup
sequences that was before namspace patch.

The number of calls to register_pernet_device have been
reduced to one for the ip_vs.ko
Schedulers still have their own calls.

This patch adds a function __ip_vs_service_cleanup()
and a throttle or actually on/off switch for
the netfilter hooks.

The nf hooks will be enabled when the first service is loaded
and disabled when the last service is removed or when a
namespace exit starts.

CHANGES
 Rev 2
        receivening av device events, suggested by Julian.
        This change add 3 new functions ip_vs_dst_event()
        ip_vs_svc_reset() and __ip_vs_dev_reset().

 Rev 3
        Throttle renamed to enable.
        Comments from Julian implemented
        Check enable in ip_vs_in, ip_vs_out and ip_vs_forward_icmp*
        Remove in ip_vs_in_icmp*.
        ip_vs_svc_reset() moved into ip_vs_dst_event().
        ip_vs_service_cleanup() uses ip_vs_flush and mutex lock.
        ip_vs_unlink_service_nolock() added.

 Rev 4
	ip_vs_unlink_service_nolock() removed
	ip_vs_flush() reverted.

From: Oliver Hartkopp @ 2011-05-01 17:16 UTC (permalink / raw)

Hello Kurt,

i applied all your patches for the can-utils and the network layer stuff to
the BerliOS SVN in socketcan/branches/j1939 for testing.

Besides some minor adaptions to support the SVN i left out some infrastructure
changes you made in patch 2/5 to constify this ...

and this ...

(..)

> +static inline void can_put_proto(const struct can_proto *cp)
> +{
> +	module_put(cp->prot->owner);

These infrastructure changes did not really belong to the rtnetlink support.

The can-j1939.ko builds properly in the SVN against 2.6.39-rc5 and the
net-next-2.6 tree - and e.g. against a debian wheezy kernel:

make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-2-686-bigmem

As it is pretty easy now to build the kernel modules & your provided can-utils
we hopefully get some more feedback from j1939 users.

Best regards,
Oliver

orig_hash_find() manages rcu_lock/unlock internally and doesn't need to
be surrounded by rcu_read_lock() / rcu_read_unlock() anymore

atomic_dec_not_zero() is very useful and it is currently defined
multiple times. So it is possible to move it in main.h

* [PATCH 3/4] batman-adv: fix gw_node_update() and gw_election()

From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex-GaUfNO9RBHfsrOwW+9ziJQ@public.gmane.org>

This is a regression from c4aac1ab9b973798163b34939b522f01e4d28ac9

- gw_node_update() doesn't add a new gw_node in case of empty curr_gw.
This means that at the beginning no gw_node is added, leading to an
empty gateway list.

- gw_election() is terminating in case of curr_gw == NULL. It has to
terminate in case of curr_gw != NULL

From: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek-LWAfsSFWpa4@public.gmane.org>

The rcu protected macros rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer()
for the bat_priv->primary_if need to be used, as well as spin/rcu locking.

Otherwise we might end up using a primary_if pointer pointing to already
freed memory.

* Frequent spurious tx_timeouts for libertas
From: Daniel Drake @ 2011-05-01 21:21 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev, libertas-dev

Hi,

The libertas driver works as follows:

Once successfully connected to wifi, it enables the TX queue.
When the network layer calls hard_start_xmit, the driver stores the
packet in memory, stops the TX queue with netif_stop_queue(), and
returns NETDEV_TX_OK.
Some time later, the libertas kernel thread wakes up, sees the new
packet stored for delivery, sends it to the card, then runs
netif_wake_queue() to get things moving again.

Sometimes the TX queue is stopped and started from other places (e.g.
while scanning for networks, which NetworkManager triggers every
couple of minutes)

Thus the TX queue is stopped and started very often.

The libertas tx_timeout handler is being called quite a lot, and quite
soon after boot we get this in the kernel logs (the first time it
happens):

[   97.050101] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   97.054866] WARNING: at net/sched/sch_generic.c:258 dev_watchdog+0x102/0x17c
[   97.062277] Hardware name: XO
[   97.065335] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (libertas_sdio): transmit queue 0 timed out
<snip large trace>

This message seems bogus - all the recent transmissions happened correctly.

What is this watchdog trying to detect exactly? Using what criteria?

I had a look at the code and it doesn't quite make sense to me - also
explaining why we get this bogus message. Here's what happens:

1. Kernel asks libertas to transmit a packet; libertas stops the TX
queue and puts the packet in memory
2. Very shortly after, libertas thread picks up the packet, transmits
it via the card, and restarts the tx queue. The packet is transmitted
correctly, and the queue is awake again.
3. Shortly after (with no further TX activity occuring in this time),
NetworkManager starts scanning for networks. This causes the TX queue
to be stopped and started a few times over the space of a few seconds,
and during this time the queue is stopped for quite a while.
4. The netdev watchdog wakes up in one of these times when the TX
queue is stopped, and uses its criteria (last TX was a few seconds
ago, queue is currently stopped) to determine that a transmit timeout
has occurred (???)

Is libertas doing something wrong, or is this a bug/oddity in the network layer?

Also, while looking at this code, I spotted a bug in dev_watchdog():
				/*
				 * old device drivers set dev->trans_start
				 */
				trans_start = txq->trans_start ? : dev->trans_start;

i.e. it is trying to figure out whether to read trans_start from txq
or dev. In both cases, trans_start is updated based on the value of
jiffies, which will occasionally be 0 (as it wraps around). Therefore
this line of code will occasionally make the wrong decision.

I understand that you'd like to keep things together,
but I think its too much change for .39 this late
in the rc series.

I'll repeat my answer from the last time this was asked on netdev:

The watchdog fires when the software queue has been stopped *and* the
link has been reported as up for over dev->watchdog_timeo ticks.

The software queue should be stopped iff the hardware queue is full or
nearly full.  If the software queue remains stopped and the link is
still reported up, then one of these things is happening:

1. The link went down but the driver didn't notice
2. TX completions are not being indicated or handled correctly
3. The hardware TX path has locked up
4. The link is stalled by excessive pause frames or collisions
5. Timeout is too low and/or low watermark is too high
(there may be other explanations)

I think the watchdog is primarily meant to deal with case 3, though all
of cases 1-3 may be worked around by resetting the hardware.

And now, for the specific case of libertas:

It appears that libertas reports carrier off (link down) while scanning,
so that should mean the watchdog does not fire.  However:

1. The watchdog will only check the current link state, which might be
up again when it runs.
2. The watchdog assumes that TX queues only fill up in response to
packets sent by the TX scheduler.

[...]
> Is libertas doing something wrong, or is this a bug/oddity in the network layer?

Since the TX scheduler doesn't know about the extra packets you are
injecting to do channel scanning, I think you need to call
txq_trans_update() when you do that.  And I don't think it's a good idea
to call netif_carrier_off() there at all.  If it has any effect at all
(which I don't think it will, as channel scanning is being done under
RTNL lock and link change notifications also require that lock) it will
be to confuse userland.

No, I don't think so.

If only dev->trans_start is being updated then the watchdog reads that.
If both txq->trans_start and dev->trans_start are being updated then it
doesn't matter much which the watchdog reads.
If only txq->trans_start is being updated then dev->trans_start is
always set to 0, so when txq->trans_start is 0 the watchdog still gets
0.

Okay, but I think the call at the end of TX completion processing is
still probably needed.  The algorithm is trying to determine the
number of bytes that completed at each interrupt.

Reset probably isn't necessary anyway if all the skb's are properly

Unfortunately, there is still an additional complexity if we don't
piggy back on the logic in the driver to stop the queue.  I believe
that either this would require another queue state for queue being
stopped for bql which looks pretty cumbersome, so that wrapping this
in a qdisc might be a better possibility.

Ok, then call it something generic like netdev_tx_complete() which
can serve other purposes in the future and not be bql specific.

I'll leave it up to you what approach to try next.

Even thought I sort of side with you that bql is a largely seperate
facility from what we usually do with qdiscs, this TX completion
event could be very useful as an input to qdisc decision making.

	if (GET_ASIC_REV(tp->pci_chip_rev_id) != ASIC_REV_5780 ||
	    !tg3_flag(tp, CPMU_PRESENT))

like this:

* [PATCH] linux/stmmac.h: include <linux/platform_device.h> to remove compilation warning.

stmmac.h uses struct platform_device and doesn't include
<linux/platform_device.h>. And so we get following compilation warning while
using this file:
	warning: ‘struct platform_device’ declared inside parameter list

This patch includes <linux/platform_device.h> in stmmac.h to remove this warning

A branch looks like a good alternative here.
Thanks.

This comment should specify what exactly is the promise the
device makes by setting this flag. Specifically, the
condition is that no skb fragments are used
after the uinfo callback has been called.

The way it's implemented, it probably means the device
should not use any of skb_clone, expand head etc.
