a8b690f98b tcp: Fix slowness in read /proc/net/tcp
This patch address a serious performance issue in reading the
TCP sockets table (/proc/net/tcp).

Reading the full table is done by a number of sequential read
operations.  At each read operation, a seek is done to find the
last socket that was previously read.  This seek operation requires
that the sockets in the table need to be counted up to the current
file position, and to count each of these requires taking a lock for
each non-empty bucket.  The whole algorithm is O(n^2).

The fix is to cache the last bucket value, offset within the bucket,
and the file position returned by the last read operation.   On the
next sequential read, the bucket and offset are used to find the
last read socket immediately without needing ot scan the previous
buckets  the table.  This algorithm t read the whole table is O(n).

The improvement offered by this patch is easily show by performing
cat'ing /proc/net/tcp on a machine with a lot of connections.  With
about 182K connections in the table, I see the following:

- Without patch
time cat /proc/net/tcp > /dev/null

real	1m56.729s
user	0m0.214s
sys	1m56.344s

- With patch
time cat /proc/net/tcp > /dev/null

real	0m0.894s
user	0m0.290s
sys	0m0.594s

bb1d912323 bonding: allow user-controlled output slave selection
v2: changed bonding module version, modified to apply on top of changes
from previous patch in series, and updated documentation to elaborate on
multiqueue awareness that now exists in bonding driver.

This patch give the user the ability to control the output slave for
round-robin and active-backup bonding.  Similar functionality was
discussed in the past, but Jay Vosburgh indicated he would rather see a
feature like this added to existing modes rather than creating a
completely new mode.  Jay's thoughts as well as Neil's input surrounding
some of the issues with the first implementation pushed us toward a
design that relied on the queue_mapping rather than skb marks.
Round-robin and active-backup modes were chosen as the first users of
this slave selection as they seemed like the most logical choices when
considering a multi-switch environment.

Round-robin mode works without any modification, but active-backup does
require inclusion of the first patch in this series and setting
the 'all_slaves_active' flag.  This will allow reception of unicast traffic on
any of the backup interfaces.

This was tested with IPv4-based filters as well as VLAN-based filters
with good results.

More information as well as a configuration example is available in the
patch to Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.

8764ab2ca7 net: check for refcount if pop a stacked dst_entry
xfrm triggers a warning if dst_pop() drops a refcount
on a noref dst. This patch changes dst_pop() to
skb_dst_pop(). skb_dst_pop() drops the refcnt only
on a refcounted dst. Also we don't clone the child
dst_entry, so it is not refcounted and we can use
skb_dst_set_noref() in xfrm_output_one().

b5f7e75547 ipv4: add LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER snmp counter
Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path
because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being
incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the
problem.

This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented
each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers.

(We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to
send an answer would use another interface)

ab95bfe01f net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb V5
What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for
macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single
hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no
sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device.

Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register
an rx_handler for needed net device.

20c59de2e6 ipv6: Refactor update of IPv6 flowi destination address for srcrt (RH) option
There are more than a dozen occurrences of following code in the
IPv6 stack:

    if (opt && opt->srcrt) {
            struct rt0_hdr *rt0 = (struct rt0_hdr *) opt->srcrt;
            ipv6_addr_copy(&final, &fl.fl6_dst);
            ipv6_addr_copy(&fl.fl6_dst, rt0->addr);
            final_p = &final;
    }

Replace those with a helper. Note that the helper overrides final_p
in all cases. This is ok as final_p was previously initialized to
NULL when declared.

614f60fa9d packet_mmap: expose hw packet timestamps to network packet capture utilities
This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet
timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by
packet_mmap.

PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as
SO_TIMESTAMPING.  However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by
PACKET_TIMESTAMP.  SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set.

If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside
the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was
added).

79640a4ca6 net: add additional lock to qdisc to increase throughput
When many cpus compete for sending frames on a given qdisc, the qdisc
spinlock suffers from very high contention.

The cpu owning __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit has same priority to acquire
the lock, and cannot dequeue packets fast enough, since it must wait for
this lock for each dequeued packet.

One solution to this problem is to force all cpus spinning on a second
lock before trying to get the main lock, when/if they see
__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING already set.

The owning cpu then compete with at most one other cpu for the main
lock, allowing for higher dequeueing rate.

Based on a previous patch from Alexander Duyck. I added the heuristic to
avoid the atomic in fast path, and put the new lock far away from the
cache line used by the dequeue worker. Also try to release the busylock
lock as late as possible.

Tests with following script gave a boost from ~50.000 pps to ~600.000
pps on a dual quad core machine (E5450 @3.00GHz), tg3 driver.
(A single netperf flow can reach ~800.000 pps on this platform)

for j in `seq 0 3`; do
  for i in `seq 0 7`; do
    netperf -H 192.168.0.1 -t UDP_STREAM -l 60 -N -T $i -- -m 6 &

3711210576 net: QDISC_STATE_RUNNING dont need atomic bit ops
__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING is always changed while qdisc lock is held.

We can avoid two atomic operations in xmit path, if we move this bit in
a new __state container.

Location of this __state container is carefully chosen so that fast path
only dirties one qdisc cache line.

THROTTLED bit could later be moved into this __state location too, to
avoid dirtying first qdisc cache line.

b1faf56664 net: sock_queue_err_skb() dont mess with sk_forward_alloc
Correct sk_forward_alloc handling for error_queue would need to use a
backlog of frames that softirq handler could not deliver because socket
is owned by user thread. Or extend backlog processing to be able to
process normal and error packets.

Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is
what I implemented in this patch.

Note: this reverts commit 29030374
(net: fix sk_forward_alloc corruptions), since we dont need to lock
socket anymore.

06c4648d46 arp_notify: allow drivers to explicitly request a notification event.
Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the
address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable
faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches
to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a
temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current
conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues
when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use
to explicitly trigger the notification.

7bb46a6734 fs: introduce new truncate sequence
Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than
setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence
from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is
deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced
previously should be used.

simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement
the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted
to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go
away.

simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion
of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache).

To implement the new truncate sequence:
- filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in
  the setattr method rather than ->truncate.
- vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in
  the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed
  in the fs code.
- convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin,
  cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed
  variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous).
- inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function
  to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode.
- make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence.

Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called
until i_size has already changed.  This means it is not allowed to fail the
call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic
code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had
no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle
block deallocation).

1b061d9247 rename the generic fsync implementations
We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.

This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect.  In addition add some documentation for both methods.

d7065da038 get rid of the magic around f_count in aio
__aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount.  What
it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always
done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed
work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the
last one.  Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't
hit 0, everything is fine.  Otherwise it keeps a pointer
to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed
work do __fput() on it.

Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1)
instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test().  IOW, decrement it
only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone
if it was.  And use normal fput() in delayed work.

I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper -
fput_atomic().  Drops a reference to file if it's safe to
do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if
it had been able to do that.  aio.c converted to it, __fput()
use is gone.  req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount
now.  And __fput() became static.

62579266cf mfd: New AB8500 driver
Add a new driver to support the AB8500 Power Management chip, replacing
the current AB4500.  The new driver replaces the old one, instead of an
incremental modification, because this is a substantial overhaul
including:

 - Split of the driver into -core and -spi portions, to allow another
   interface layer to be added

 - Addition of interrupt support

 - Switch to MFD core API for handling subdevices

 - Simplification of the APIs to remove a redundant block parameter

 - Rename of the APIs and macros from ab4500_* to ab8500_*

 - Rename of the files from ab4500* to ab8500*

 - Change of the driver name from ab4500 to ab8500

fa661258a2 mfd: AB3100 register access change to abx500 API
The interface for the AB3100 is changed to make way for the
ABX500 family of chips: AB3550, AB5500 and future ST-Ericsson
Analog Baseband chips. The register access functions are moved
out to a separate struct abx500_ops. In this way the interface
is moved from the implementation and the sub functionality drivers
can keep their interface intact when chip infrastructure and
communication mechanisms changes. We also define the AB3550
device IDs and the AB3550 platform data struct and convert
the catenated 32bit event to an array of 3 x 8bits.
