Adding the device list from the Windows driver description files
included with a new Qualcomm MDM9615 based device, "Alcatel-sbell
ASB TL131 TDD LTE", from China Mobile. This device is tested
and verified to work. The others are assumed to work based on
using the same Windows driver.
Many of these devices support multiple QMI/wwan ports, requiring
multiple interface matching entries. All devices are composite,
providing a mix of one or more serial, storage or Android Debug
Brigde functions in addition to the wwan function.
This device list included an update of one previously known device,
which was incorrectly assumed to have a Gobi 2K layout. This is
corrected.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series implements the new i40e driver for Intel's upcoming
Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XL710 Family of devices.
V7: many changes from a few comments:
use linux errno types
change I40E_SUCCESS to 0, standardize returns
change s32 return values to int
use void return values where possible
prefer use of int over i40e_status
V6: rename Kbuild to Makefile
rename i40e_mem[set|cpy] to regular memset/memcpy
V5: remove sysfs support from this set, will rearchitect
changes from community comments
V4: addresses remaining community comments, mostly trivial edits.
major sparse based cleanup of possible endian issues
removal of most of __func__ references
sizeof(*var) instead of sizeof(struct ...)
change 'NULL ==' tests to !NULL
implement xps
use kernel bitshift macros (upper_32_bits, etc)
V3: many more individual comments addressed, thanks reviewers! Many
other changes due to internal review and development.
V2: each patch has individual comments, in general, feedback from the
list was applied and addressed. Many changes due to internal review
and coding as well.
V1: initial send
Let me start by saying thanks and we appreciate any time spent by
those of you who review and comment on this new driver, and we will
attempt to address and respond to all issues brought to our attention.
I tried to break the patches up to ease review, but the series should
apply and still be bisectable, as the last patch adds the driver to
the kernel compile with CONFIG_I40E.
This driver is for a brand new bit of silicon that has a different
design than other Intel Ethernet silicon, and therefore needed a new
driver.
The hardware has quite a bit of capability and this driver is only
meant to provide basic functionality at first. Future patches will
continue to add functionality and bug fixes.
This initial release is very early in the product cycle with the intent
of getting initial support into the kernel before users have the
hardware available to purchase. A software development manual is not
ready yet but will be available when the hardware ships.
The driver development model and interaction with community submitted
patches *will not be any different* than what we are currently doing
today. We plan to continue established processes.
An associated i40evf driver has been posted for review.
List of tools we ran in preparation:
way more sparse clean
make W=1, W=2 clean
checkpatch (almost) clean
total: 1 errors, 4 warnings, 30461 lines checked
NOTE: Ignored message types: LONG_LINE
- issues have been addressed and the remainders
are noise.
codespell clean
smatch (almost) clean with a couple minor warnings
coccicheck clean
namespacecheck clean
allmodconfig clean

ipv6: don't call fib6_run_gc() until routing is ready
When loading the ipv6 module, ndisc_init() is called before
ip6_route_init(). As the former registers a handler calling
fib6_run_gc(), this opens a window to run the garbage collector
before necessary data structures are initialized. If a network
device is initialized in this window, adding MAC address to it
triggers a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event, leading to a crash in
fib6_clean_all().
Take the event handler registration out of ndisc_init() into a
separate function ndisc_late_init() and move it after
ip6_route_init().

net: sctp: fix smatch warning in sctp_send_asconf_del_ip
This was originally reported in [1] and posted by Neil Horman [2], he said:
Fix up a missed null pointer check in the asconf code. If we don't find
a local address, but we pass in an address length of more than 1, we may
dereference a NULL laddr pointer. Currently this can't happen, as the only
users of the function pass in the value 1 as the addrcnt parameter, but
its not hot path, and it doesn't hurt to check for NULL should that ever
be the case.
The callpath from sctp_asconf_mgmt() looks okay. But this could be triggered
from sctp_setsockopt_bindx() call with SCTP_BINDX_REM_ADDR and addrcnt > 1
while passing all possible addresses from the bind list to SCTP_BINDX_REM_ADDR
so that we do *not* find a single address in the association's bind address
list that is not in the packed array of addresses. If this happens when we
have an established association with ASCONF-capable peers, then we could get
a NULL pointer dereference as we only check for laddr == NULL && addrcnt == 1
and call later sctp_make_asconf_update_ip() with NULL laddr.
BUT: this actually won't happen as sctp_bindx_rem() will catch such a case
and return with an error earlier. As this is incredably unintuitive and error
prone, add a check to catch at least future bugs here. As Neil says, its not
hot path. Introduced by 8a07eb0a5 ("sctp: Add ASCONF operation on the

When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES, and we return
with an error in fn = fib6_add_1(), then error codes are encoded into
the return pointer e.g. ERR_PTR(-ENOENT). In such an error case, we
write the error code into err and jump to out, hence enter the if(err)
condition. Now, if CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES is enabled, we check for:
if (pn != fn && pn->leaf == rt)
...
if (pn != fn && !pn->leaf && !(pn->fn_flags & RTN_RTINFO))
...
Since pn is NULL and fn is f.e. ERR_PTR(-ENOENT), then pn != fn
evaluates to true and causes a NULL-pointer dereference on further
checks on pn. Fix it, by setting both NULL in error case, so that
pn != fn already evaluates to false and no further dereference
takes place.
This was first correctly implemented in 4a287eba2 ("IPv6 routing,
NLM_F_* flag support: REPLACE and EXCL flags support, warn about
missing CREATE flag"), but the bug got later on introduced by 188c517a0 ("ipv6: return errno pointers consistently for fib6_add_1()").

bnx2x: avoid atomic allocations during initialization
During initialization bnx2x allocates significant amounts of memory
(for rx data, rx SGEs, TPA pool) using atomic allocations.
I received a report where bnx2x failed to allocate SGEs and it had
to fall back to TPA-less operation.
Let's use GFP_KERNEL allocations during initialization, which runs
in process context. Add gfp_t parameters to functions that are used
both in initialization and in the receive path.
Use an unlikely branch in bnx2x_frag_alloc() to avoid atomic allocation
by netdev_alloc_frag(). The branch is taken several thousands of times
during initialization, but then never more. Note that fp->rx_frag_size
is never greater than PAGE_SIZE, so __get_free_page() can be used here.

vfs: fix dentry RCU to refcounting possibly sleeping dput()
This is the fix that the last two commits indirectly led up to - making
sure that we don't call dput() in a bad context on the dentries we've
looked up in RCU mode after the sequence count validation fails.
This basically expands d_rcu_to_refcount() into the callers, and then
fixes the callers to delay the dput() in the failure case until _after_
we've dropped all locks and are no longer in an RCU-locked region.
The case of 'complete_walk()' was trivial, since its failure case did
the unlock_rcu_walk() directly after the call to d_rcu_to_refcount(),
and as such that is just a pure expansion of the function with a trivial
movement of the resulting dput() to after 'unlock_rcu_walk()'.
In contrast, the unlazy_walk() case was much more complicated, because
not only does convert two different dentries from RCU to be reference
counted, but it used to not call unlock_rcu_walk() at all, and instead
just returned an error and let the caller clean everything up in
"terminate_walk()".
Happily, one of the dentries in question (called "parent" inside
unlazy_walk()) is the dentry of "nd->path", which terminate_walk() wants
a refcount to anyway for the non-RCU case.
So what the new and improved unlazy_walk() does is to first turn that
dentry into a refcounted one, and once that is set up, the error cases
can continue to use the terminate_walk() helper for cleanup, but for the
non-RCU case. Which makes it possible to drop out of RCU mode if we
actually hit the sequence number failure case.

vfs: use lockred "dead" flag to mark unrecoverably dead dentries
This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular.
I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through
all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput()
"might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak. And I removed it as
misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging.
However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final
dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are
releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()). So the
problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it
was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting
case.
In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen
to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then
lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file. But because it's
a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice.
Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit 15570086b590: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using
lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does
it under the RCU lock. So potentially sleeping really is a bug.
But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated
"lockref_get_or_lock()" interface. And rather than revert to the old
and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by
delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be
safe), let's make forward progress.
Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This is me being a bit OCD after all the dentry optimization work this
merge window: profiles end up showing 'dput()' as a rather expensive
operation, and there were two unrelated bad reasons for that.
The first reason was reading d_lockref.count for debugging purposes,
which touches the lockref cacheline (for reads) before really need to.
More importantly, the debugging test in question is _wrong_, and has
hidden bugs. It's true that we can only sleep when the count goes down
to zero, but the test as-is hides the much more subtle bug that happens
if we race with somebody else deleting the file.
Anyway we _will_ touch that cacheline, but let's do it for a write and
in the right routine (ie in "lockref_put_or_lock()") which annotates the
costs better. So remove the misleading debug code.
The other was an unnecessary access to the cacheline that contains the
d_lru list, just to check whether we already were on the LRU list or
not. This is exactly what we have d_flags for, so that we can avoid
touching extra cache lines for the common case. So just add another bit
for "is this dentry on the LRU".
Finally, mark the tests properly likely/unlikely, so that the common
fast-paths are dense in the instruction stream.

The only actual current lockref user (dcache) uses zero reference counts
even for perfectly live dentries, because it's a cache: there may not be
any users, but that doesn't mean that we want to throw away the dentry.
At the same time, the dentry cache does have a notion of a truly "dead"
dentry that we must not even increment the reference count of, because
we have pruned it and it is not valid.
Currently that distinction is not visible in the lockref itself, and the
dentry cache validation uses "lockref_get_or_lock()" to either get a new
reference to a dentry that already had existing references (and thus
cannot be dead), or get the dentry lock so that we can then verify the
dentry and increment the reference count under the lock if that
verification was successful.
That's all somewhat complicated.
This adds the concept of being "dead" to the lockref itself, by simply
using a count that is negative. This allows a usage scenario where we
can increment the refcount of a dentry without having to validate it,
and pushing the special "we killed it" case into the lockref code.
The dentry code itself doesn't actually use this yet, and it's probably
too late in the merge window to do that code (the dentry_kill() code
with its "should I decrement the count" logic really is pretty complex
code), but let's introduce the concept at the lockref level now.
1) the nfs_client's rpc_client is using krb5i/p (now tried by default)
2) the current user doesn't have valid kerberos credentials
This situation is quite common - as of now a sec=sys mount would use
krb5i for the nfs_client's rpc_client and a user would hardly be faulted
for not having run kinit.
The solution is to use the machine cred when trying to use an integrity
protected auth flavor for SECINFO_NO_NAME.
Older servers may not support using the machine cred or an integrity
protected auth flavor for SECINFO_NO_NAME in every circumstance, so we fall
back to using the user's cred and the filesystem's auth flavor in this case.
We run into another problem when running against linux nfs servers -
they return NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC when using integrity auth flavor (unless the
mount is also that flavor) even though that is not a valid error for
SECINFO*. Even though it's against spec, handle WRONGSEC errors on
SECINFO_NO_NAME by falling back to using the user cred and the
filesystem's auth flavor.
The code got rewritten, but the comments got copied as-is from older
versions, and as a result the argument name in the comment didn't
actually match the code any more.

What is the point of having a 'auth_flavor_len' field, if it is
always set to 1, and can't be used to determine if the user has
selected an auth flavour?
This cleanup goes back to using auth_flavor_len for its original
intended purpose, and gets rid of the ad-hoc replacements.

Revert "Input: introduce BTN/ABS bits for drums and guitars"
This reverts commits 61e00655e9cb, 73f8645db191 and 8e22ecb603c8:
"Input: introduce BTN/ABS bits for drums and guitars"
"HID: wiimote: add support for Guitar-Hero drums"
"HID: wiimote: add support for Guitar-Hero guitars"
The extra new ABS_xx values resulted in ABS_MAX no longer being a
power-of-two, which broke the comparison logic. It also caused the
ioctl numbers to overflow into the next byte, causing problems for that.
We'll try again for 3.13.

Richard reported that some UML processes survive if the UML
main process receives a SIGTERM.
This issue was caused by a wrongly placed signal(SIGTERM, SIG_DFL)
in init_new_thread_signals().
It disabled the UML exit handler accidently for some processes.
The correct solution is to disable the fatal handler for all
UML helper threads/processes.
Such that last_ditch_exit() does not get called multiple times
and all processes can exit due to SIGTERM.

UML needs it's own probe_kernel_read() to handle kernel
mode faults correctly.
The implementation uses mincore() on the host side to detect
whether a page is owned by the UML kernel process.
This fixes also a possible crash when sysrq-t is used.
Starting with 3.10 sysrq-t calls probe_kernel_read() to
read details from the kernel workers. As kernel worker are
completely async pointers may turn NULL while reading them.

NFSv4.1 Use MDS auth flavor for data server connection

uses the nfs_client cl_rpcclient for all state management operations, and
will use krb5i or auth_sys with no regard to the mount command authflavor
choice.
The MDS, as any NFSv4.1 mount point, uses the nfs_server rpc client for all
non-state management operations with a different nfs_server for each fsid
encountered traversing the mount point, each with a potentially different
auth flavor.
pNFS data servers are not mounted in the normal sense as there is no associated
nfs_server structure. Data servers can also export multiple fsids, each with
a potentially different auth flavor.
Data servers need to use the same authflavor as the MDS server rpc client for
non-state management operations. Populate a list of rpc clients with the MDS
server rpc client auth flavor for the DS to use.

tcp: properly increase rcv_ssthresh for ofo packets
TCP receive window handling is multi staged.
A socket has a memory budget, static or dynamic, in sk_rcvbuf.
Because we do not really know how this memory budget translates to
a TCP window (payload), TCP announces a small initial window
(about 20 MSS).
When a packet is received, we increase TCP rcv_win depending
on the payload/truesize ratio of this packet. Good citizen
packets give a hint that it's reasonable to have rcv_win = sk_rcvbuf/2
This heuristic takes place in tcp_grow_window()
Problem is : We currently call tcp_grow_window() only for in-order
packets.
This means that reorders or packet losses stop proper grow of
rcv_win, and senders are unable to benefit from fast recovery,
or proper reordering level detection.
Really, a packet being stored in OFO queue is not a bad citizen.
It should be part of the game as in-order packets.
In our traces, we very often see sender is limited by linux small
receive windows, even if linux hosts use autotuning (DRS) and should
allow rcv_win to grow to ~3MB.
