This isn't a real fix to the problem, but rather a stopgap measure while
trying to find a proper solution.
There are several laptops out there that fail to light up the eDP panel
in UEFI boot mode. They seem to be mostly IVB machines, including but
apparently not limited to Dell XPS 13, Asus TX300, Asus UX31A, Asus
UX32VD, Acer Aspire S7. They seem to work in CSM or legacy boot.
The difference between UEFI and CSM is that the BIOS provides a
different VBT to the kernel. The UEFI VBT typically specifies 18 bpp and
1.62 GHz link for eDP, while CSM VBT has 24 bpp and 2.7 GHz link. We end
up clamping to 18 bpp in UEFI mode, which we can fit in the 1.62 Ghz
link, and for reasons yet unknown fail to light up the panel.
Dithering from 24 to 18 bpp itself seems to work; if we use 18 bpp with
2.7 GHz link, the eDP panel lights up. So essentially this is a link
speed issue, and *not* a bpp clamping issue.
The bug raised its head since
commit 657445fe8660100ad174600ebfa61536392b7624
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Date: Sat May 4 10:09:18 2013 +0200
which started clamping bpp *before* computing the link requirements, and
thus affecting the required bandwidth. Clamping after the computations
kept the link at 2.7 GHz.
Even though the BIOS tells us to use 18 bpp through the VBT, it happily
boots up at 24 bpp and 2.7 GHz itself! Use this information to
selectively ignore the VBT provided value.
We can't ignore the VBT eDP bpp altogether, as there are other laptops
that do require the clamping to be used due to EDID reporting higher bpp
than the panel can support.

net: unix: inherit SOCK_PASS{CRED, SEC} flags from socket to fix race
In the case of credentials passing in unix stream sockets (dgram
sockets seem not affected), we get a rather sparse race after
commit 16e5726 ("af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default").
We have a stream server on receiver side that requests credential
passing from senders (e.g. nc -U). Since we need to set SO_PASSCRED
on each spawned/accepted socket on server side to 1 first (as it's
not inherited), it can happen that in the time between accept() and
setsockopt() we get interrupted, the sender is being scheduled and
continues with passing data to our receiver. At that time SO_PASSCRED
is neither set on sender nor receiver side, hence in cmsg's
SCM_CREDENTIALS we get eventually pid:0, uid:65534, gid:65534
(== overflow{u,g}id) instead of what we actually would like to see.
On the sender side, here nc -U, the tests in maybe_add_creds()
invoked through unix_stream_sendmsg() would fail, as at that exact
time, as mentioned, the sender has neither SO_PASSCRED on his side
nor sees it on the server side, and we have a valid 'other' socket
in place. Thus, sender believes it would just look like a normal
connection, not needing/requesting SO_PASSCRED at that time.
As reverting 16e5726 would not be an option due to the significant
performance regression reported when having creds always passed,
one way/trade-off to prevent that would be to set SO_PASSCRED on
the listener socket and allow inheriting these flags to the spawned
socket on server side in accept(). It seems also logical to do so
if we'd tell the listener socket to pass those flags onwards, and
would fix the race.

Toshiaki Makita says:
====================
bridge: Fix problems around the PVID
There seem to be some undesirable behaviors related with PVID.
1. It has no effect assigning PVID to a port. PVID cannot be applied
to any frame regardless of whether we set it or not.
2. FDB entries learned via frames applied PVID are registered with
VID 0 rather than VID value of PVID.
3. We can set 0 or 4095 as a PVID that are not allowed in IEEE 802.1Q.
This leads interoperational problems such as sending frames with VID
4095, which is not allowed in IEEE 802.1Q, and treating frames with VID
0 as they belong to VLAN 0, which is expected to be handled as they have
no VID according to IEEE 802.1Q.
Note: 2nd and 3rd problems are potential and not exposed unless 1st problem
is fixed, because we cannot activate PVID due to it.
This is my analysis for each behavior.
1. We are using VLAN_TAG_PRESENT bit when getting PVID, and not when
adding/deleting PVID.
It can be fixed in either way using or not using VLAN_TAG_PRESENT,
but I think the latter is slightly more efficient.
2. We are setting skb->vlan_tci with the value of PVID but the variable
vid, which is used in FDB later, is set to 0 at br_allowed_ingress()
when untagged frames arrive at a port with PVID valid. I'm afraid that
vid should be updated to the value of PVID if PVID is valid.
3. According to IEEE 802.1Q-2011 (6.9.1 and Table 9-2), we cannot use
VID 0 or 4095 as a PVID.
It looks like that there are more stuff to consider.
- VID 0:
VID 0 shall not be configured in any FDB entry and used in a tag header
to indicate it is a 802.1p priority-tagged frame.
Priority-tagged frames should be applied PVID (from IEEE 802.1Q 6.9.1).
In my opinion, since we can filter incomming priority-tagged frames by
deleting PVID, we don't need to filter them by vlan_bitmap.
In other words, priority-tagged frames don't have VID 0 but have no VID,
which is the same as untagged frames, and should be filtered by unsetting
PVID.
So, not only we cannot set PVID as 0, but also we don't need to add 0 to
vlan_bitmap, which enables us to simply forbid to add vlan 0.
- VID 4095:
VID 4095 shall not be transmitted in a tag header. This VID value may be
used to indicate a wildcard match for the VID in management operations or
FDB entries (from IEEE 802.1Q Table 9-2).
In current implementation, we can create a static FDB entry with all
existing VIDs by not specifying any VID when creating it.
I don't think this way to add wildcard-like entries needs to change,
and VID 4095 looks no use and can be unacceptable to add.
Consequently, I believe what we should do for 3rd problem is below:
- Not allowing VID 0 and 4095 to be added.
- Applying PVID to priority-tagged (VID 0) frames.
Note: It has been descovered that another problem related to priority-tags
remains. If we use vlan 0 interface such as eth0.0, we cannot communicate
with another end station via a linux bridge.
This problem exists regardless of whether this patch set is applied or not
because we might receive untagged frames from another end station even if we
are sending priority-tagged frames.
This issue will be addressed by another patch set introducing an additional
egress policy, on which Vlad Yasevich is working.
See http://marc.info/?t=137880893800001&r=1&w=2 for detailed discussion.
Patch set follows this mail.
The order of patches is not the same as described above, because the way
to fix 1st problem is based on the assumption that we don't use VID 0 as
a PVID, which is realized by fixing 3rd problem.
(1/4)(2/4): Fix 3rd problem.
(3/4): Fix 1st problem.
(4/4): Fix 2nd probelm.
v2:
- Add descriptions about the problem related to priority-tags in cover letter.
- Revise patch comments to reference the newest spec.

randomly peek CPU usage, causing overall system functioning delays.
Second bad effect is that device is not able to fill TX statuses in

but prefer IPv6 e.g.)
- what the link speed is (you might want to reconnect over a higher
speed interface if available)
(Of course we could also rerequest this on every mount cheaplly to the
same server, as Windows apparently does, so we can update the adapter
info on new mounts, and also on every reconnect if the network
interface drops temporarily - so we don't have to rely on info from
the first mount to this server)
It is trivial to request this information - and certainly will be useful
when we get to the point of doing multichannel (and eventually RDMA),
but some of this (linkspeed etc.) info may help for debugging in
the meantime. Enable this request when CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 is on
(only for smb3 mounts since it is an SMB3 or later ioctl).

Allow setting per-file compression via CIFS protocol
An earlier patch allowed setting the per-file compression flag
"chattr +c filename"
on an smb2 or smb3 mount, and also allowed lsattr to return
whether a file on a cifs, or smb2/smb3 mount was compressed.
This patch extends the ability to set the per-file
compression flag to the cifs protocol, which uses a somewhat
different IOCTL mechanism than SMB2, although the payload
(the flags stored in the compression_state) are the same.

Query File System Alignment
In SMB3 it is now possible to query the file system
alignment info, and the preferred (for performance)
sector size and whether the underlying disk
has no seek penalty (like SSD).
Query this information at mount time for SMB3,
and make it visible in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData
for debugging purposes.
This alignment information and preferred sector
size info will be helpful for the copy offload
patches to setup the right chunks in the CopyChunk
requests. Presumably the knowledge that the
underlying disk is SSD could also help us
make better readahead and writebehind
decisions (something to look at in the future).

Query device characteristics at mount time from server on SMB2/3 not just on cifs mounts
Currently SMB2 and SMB3 mounts do not query the device information at mount time
from the server as is done for cifs. These can be useful for debugging.
This is a minor patch, that extends the previous one (which added ability to
query file system attributes at mount time - this returns the device
characteristics - also via in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData)

Allow setting per-file compression via SMB2/3
Allow cifs/smb2/smb3 to return whether or not a file is compressed
via lsattr, and allow SMB2/SMB3 to set the per-file compression
flag ("chattr +c filename" on an smb3 mount).
Windows users often set the compressed flag (it can be
done from the desktop and file manager). David Disseldorp
has patches to Samba server to support this (at least on btrfs)
which are complementary to this

Fix corrupt SMB2 ioctl requests
We were off by one calculating the length of ioctls in some cases
because the protocol specification for SMB2 ioctl includes a mininum
one byte payload but not all SMB2 ioctl requests actually have
a data buffer to send. We were also not zeroing out the
return buffer (in case of error this is helpful).
