netlabel: Fix build problems when IPv6 is not enabled
A recent fix to the the NetLabel code caused build problem with
configurations that did not have IPv6 enabled; see below:
netlabel_kapi.c: In function 'netlbl_cfg_unlbl_map_add':
netlabel_kapi.c:165:4:
error: implicit declaration of function 'netlbl_af6list_add'
This patch fixes this problem by making the IPv6 specific code conditional
on the IPv6 configuration flags as we done in the rest of NetLabel and the
network stack as a whole. We have to move some variable declarations
around as a result so things may not be quite as pretty, but at least it
builds cleanly now.
Some additional IPv6 conditionals were added to the NetLabel code as well
for the sake of consistency.

The while loop at the bottom of ipoib_mcast_join_finish() will attempt
to send queued multicast packets in mcast->pkt_queue and eventually
end up in ipoib_mcast_send():
if (!mcast->ah) {
if (skb_queue_len(&mcast->pkt_queue) < IPOIB_MAX_MCAST_QUEUE)
skb_queue_tail(&mcast->pkt_queue, skb);
else {
++dev->stats.tx_dropped;
dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
}
My read is that the code will requeue the packet and return to the
ipoib_mcast_join_finish() while loop and the stage is set for the
"hung" task diagnostic as the while loop never sees a non-NULL ah, and
will do nothing to resolve.
There are GFP_ATOMIC allocates in the provider routines, so this is
possible and should be dealt with.
The test that induced the failure is associated with a host SM on the
same server during a shutdown.
This patch causes ipoib_mcast_join_finish() to exit with an error
which will flush the queued mcast packets. Nothing is done to unwind
the QP attached state so that subsequent sends from above will retry
the join.

sctp: better integer overflow check in sctp_auth_create_key()
The check from commit 30c2235c is incomplete and cannot prevent
cases like key_len = 0x80000000 (INT_MAX + 1). In that case, the
left-hand side of the check (INT_MAX - key_len), which is unsigned,
becomes 0xffffffff (UINT_MAX) and bypasses the check.
However this shouldn't be a security issue. The function is called
from the following two code paths:
1) setsockopt()
2) sctp_auth_asoc_set_secret()
In case (1), sca_keylength is never going to exceed 65535 since it's
bounded by a u16 from the user API. As such, the key length will
never overflow.
In case (2), sca_keylength is computed based on the user key (1 short)
and 2 * key_vector (3 shorts) for a total of 7 * USHRT_MAX, which still
will not overflow.
In other words, this overflow check is not really necessary. Just
make it more correct.

With Dmitry fsstress updates I've seen very reproducible crashes in
xfs_attr_shortform_remove because xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit claims that
the attributes would not fit inline into the inode after removing an
attribute. It turns out that we were operating on an inode with lots
of delalloc extents, and thus an if_bytes values for the data fork that
is larger than biggest possible on-disk storage for it which utterly
confuses the code near the end of xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit.
Fix this by always allowing the current attribute fork, like we already
do for the attr1 format, given that delalloc conversion will take care
for moving either the data or attribute area out of line if it doesn't
fit at that point - or making the point moot by merging extents at this
point.
Also document the function better, and clean up some loose bits.

tcp: avoid frag allocation for small frames
tcp_sendmsg() uses select_size() helper to choose skb head size when a
new skb must be allocated.
If GSO is enabled for the socket, current strategy is to force all
payload data to be outside of headroom, in PAGE fragments.
This strategy is not welcome for small packets, wasting memory.
Experiments show that best results are obtained when using 2048 bytes
for skb head (This includes the skb overhead and various headers)
This patch provides better len/truesize ratios for packets sent to
loopback device, and reduce memory needs for in-flight loopback packets,
particularly on arches with big pages.
If a sender sends many 1-byte packets to an unresponsive application,
receiver rmem_alloc will grow faster and will stop queuing these packets
sooner, or will collapse its receive queue to free excess memory.
netperf -t TCP_RR results are improved by ~4 %, and many workloads are
improved as well (tbench, mysql...)

Thanks David !
Here is a small patch to use one 64bit load/store on x86_64 instead of
two 32bit load/stores.
[PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: use a 64bit load/store
gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we
memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of

In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the

break the rule.

If we are doing synchronous inode reclaim we block the VM from making

promote it in the delwri list and wake up xfsbufd to write it out now.
Without this we can get hangs of up to 30 seconds during workloads hitting
synchronous inode reclaim.
The scheme is copied from what we do for dquot reclaims.

dql: Dynamic queue limits
Implementation of dynamic queue limits (dql). This is a libary which
allows a queue limit to be dynamically managed. The goal of dql is
to set the queue limit, number of objects to the queue, to be minimized
without allowing the queue to be starved.
dql would be used with a queue which has these properties:
1) Objects are queued up to some limit which can be expressed as a
count of objects.
2) Periodically a completion process executes which retires consumed
objects.
3) Starvation occurs when limit has been reached, all queued data has
actually been consumed but completion processing has not yet run,
so queuing new data is blocked.
4) Minimizing the amount of queued data is desirable.
A canonical example of such a queue would be a NIC HW transmit queue.
The queue limit is dynamic, it will increase or decrease over time
depending on the workload. The queue limit is recalculated each time
completion processing is done. Increases occur when the queue is
starved and can exponentially increase over successive intervals.
Decreases occur when more data is being maintained in the queue than
needed to prevent starvation. The number of extra objects, or "slack",
is measured over successive intervals, and to avoid hysteresis the
limit is only reduced by the miminum slack seen over a configurable
time period.
dql API provides routines to manage the queue:
- dql_init is called to intialize the dql structure
- dql_reset is called to reset dynamic values
- dql_queued called when objects are being enqueued
- dql_avail returns availability in the queue
- dql_completed is called when objects have be consumed in the queue
Configuration consists of:
- max_limit, maximum limit
- min_limit, minimum limit
- slack_hold_time, time to measure instances of slack before reducing
queue limit
