IPVS: Modify the SH scheduler to use weights
Modify the algorithm to build the source hashing hash table to add
extra slots for destinations with higher weight. This has the effect
of allowing an IPVS SH user to give more connections to hosts that
have been configured to have a higher weight.
The reason for the Kconfig change is because the size of the hash table
becomes more relevant/important if you decide to use the weights in the
manner this patch lets you. It would be conceivable that someone might
need to increase the size of that table to accommodate their
configuration, so it will be handy to be able to do that through the
regular configuration system instead of editing the source.

This tries to do the same thing as fib_validate_source(), but differs
in several aspects.
The most important difference is that the reverse path filter built into
fib_validate_source uses the oif as iif when performing the reverse
lookup. We do not do this, as the oif is not yet known by the time the
PREROUTING hook is invoked.
We can't wait until FORWARD chain because by the time FORWARD is invoked
ipv4 forward path may have already sent icmp messages is response
to to-be-discarded-via-rpfilter packets.
To avoid the such an additional lookup in PREROUTING, Patrick McHardy
suggested to attach the path information directly in the match
(i.e., just do what the standard ipv4 path does a bit earlier in PREROUTING).
This works, but it also has a few caveats. Most importantly, when using
marks in PREROUTING to re-route traffic based on the nfmark, -m rpfilter
would have to be used after the nfmark has been set; otherwise the nfmark
would have no effect (because the route is already attached).
Another problem would be interaction with -j TPROXY, as this target sets an
nfmark and uses ACCEPT instead of continue, i.e. such a version of
-m rpfilter cannot be used for the initial to-be-intercepted packets.
In case in turns out that the oif is required, we can add Patricks
suggestion with a new match option (e.g. --rpf-use-oif) to keep ruleset
compatibility.
Another difference to current builtin ipv4 rpfilter is that packets subject to ipsec
transformation are not automatically excluded. If you want this, simply
combine -m rpfilter with the policy match.
Packets arriving on loopback interfaces always match.

tcp: take care of misalignments
We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a

only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp

trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay

to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet

which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

RED is useful for high throughput routers, I doubt many linux machines
act as such devices.
I was considering adding Adaptative RED (Sally Floyd, Ramakrishna
Gummadi, Scott Shender), August 2001
In this version, maxp is dynamic (from 1% to 50%), and user only have to
setup min_th (target average queue size)
(max_th and wq (burst in linux RED) are automatically setup)
By the way it seems we have a small bug in red_change()
if (skb_queue_empty(&sch->q))
red_end_of_idle_period(&q->parms);
First, if queue is empty, we should call
red_start_of_idle_period(&q->parms);
Second, since we dont use anymore sch->q, but q->qdisc, the test is
meaningless.
Oh well...

Now RED is classful, we must check q->qdisc->q.qlen, and if queue is empty,
we start an idle period, not end it.

ocfs2: avoid unaligned access to dqc_bitmap
The dqc_bitmap field of struct ocfs2_local_disk_chunk is 32-bit aligned,

ocfs2_clear_bit(), ocfs2_test_bit(), or ocfs2_find_next_zero_bit(). These
are wrapper macros for ext2_*_bit() which need to take an unsigned long
aligned address (though some architectures are able to handle unaligned
address correctly)
So some 64bit architectures may not be able to access the dqc_bitmap
correctly.
This avoids such unaligned access by using another wrapper functions for
ext2_*_bit(). The code is taken from fs/ext4/mballoc.c which also need to

Currently netem is not in the ability to emulate channel bandwidth. Only static
delay (and optional random jitter) can be configured.
To emulate the channel rate the token bucket filter (sch_tbf) can be used. But
TBF has some major emulation flaws. The buffer (token bucket depth/rate) cannot
be 0. Also the idea behind TBF is that the credit (token in buckets) fills if
no packet is transmitted. So that there is always a "positive" credit for new
packets. In real life this behavior contradicts the law of nature where
nothing can travel faster as speed of light. E.g.: on an emulated 1000 byte/s
link a small IPv4/TCP SYN packet with ~50 byte require ~0.05 seconds - not 0
seconds.
Netem is an excellent place to implement a rate limiting feature: static
delay is already implemented, tfifo already has time information and the
user can skip TBF configuration completely.
This patch implement rate feature which can be configured via tc. e.g:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 10kbit
To emulate a link of 5000byte/s and add an additional static delay of 10ms:
Note: similar to TBF the rate extension is bounded to the kernel timing
system. Depending on the architecture timer granularity, higher rates (e.g.
10mbit/s and higher) tend to transmission bursts. Also note: further queues
living in network adaptors; see ethtool(8).

ARM: 7181/1: Restrict kprobes probing SWP instructions to ARMv5 and below
The SWP instruction is deprecated on ARMv6 and with ARMv7 it will be
UNDEFINED when CONFIG_SWP_EMULATE is selected. In this case, probing a
SWP instruction will cause an oops when the kprobes emulation code
executes an undefined instruction.
As the SWP instruction should be rare or non-existent in kernels for
ARMv6 and later, we can simply avoid these problems by not allowing
probing of these.

ARM: 7180/1: Change kprobes testcase with unpredictable STRD instruction
There is a kprobes testcase for the instruction "strd r2, [r3], r4".
This has unpredictable behaviour as it uses r3 for register writeback
addressing and also stores it to memory.
On a cortex A9, this testcase would fail because the instruction writes
the updated value of r3 to memory, whereas the kprobes emulation code
writes the original value.
Fix this by changing testcase to used r5 instead of r3.

Btrfs: skip block groups without enough space for a cluster
We test whether a block group has enough free space to hold the
requested block, but when we're doing clustered allocation, we can
save some cycles by testing whether it has enough room for the cluster
upfront, otherwise we end up attempting to set up a cluster and
failing. Only in the NO_EMPTY_SIZE loop do we attempt an unclustered
allocation, and by then we'll have zeroed the cluster size, so this
patch won't stop us from using the block group as a last resort.

Btrfs: reset cluster's max_size when creating bitmap
The field that indicates the size of the largest contiguous chunk of
free space in the cluster is not initialized when setting up bitmaps,
it's only increased when we find a larger contiguous chunk. We end up
retaining a larger value than appropriate for highly-fragmented
clusters, which may cause pointless searches for large contiguous
groups, and even cause clusters that do not meet the density
requirements to be set up.

Btrfs: initialize new bitmaps' list
We're failing to create clusters with bitmaps because
setup_cluster_no_bitmap checks that the list is empty before inserting
the bitmap entry in the list for setup_cluster_bitmap, but the list
field is only initialized when it is restored from the on-disk free
space cache, or when it is written out to disk.
Besides a potential race condition due to the multiple use of the list
field, filesystem performance severely degrades over time: as we use
up all non-bitmap free extents, the try-to-set-up-cluster dance is
done at every metadata block allocation. For every block group, we
fail to set up a cluster, and after failing on them all up to twice,
we fall back to the much slower unclustered allocation.
To make matters worse, before the unclustered allocation, we try to
create new block groups until we reach the 1% threshold, which
introduces additional bitmaps and thus block groups that we'll iterate
over at each metadata block request.

Btrfs: fix deadlock on metadata reservation when evicting a inode
When I ran the xfstests, I found the test tasks was blocked on meta-data
reservation.
By debugging, I found the reason of this bug:
start transaction
|
v
reserve meta-data space
|
v
flush delay allocation -> iput inode -> evict inode
^ |
| v
wait for delay allocation flush <- reserve meta-data space
And besides that, the flush on evicting inode will block the thread, which
is reclaiming the memory, and make oom happen easily.
Fix this bug by skipping the flush step when evicting inode.
