net: remove skb_orphan_try()

2012-06-15T22:30:15+00:00

Orphaning skb in dev_hard_start_xmit() makes bonding behavior
unfriendly for applications sending big UDP bursts : Once packets
pass the bonding device and come to real device, they might hit a full
qdisc and be dropped. Without orphaning, the sender is automatically
throttled because sk->sk_wmemalloc reaches sk->sk_sndbuf (assuming
sk_sndbuf is not too big)

We could try to defer the orphaning adding another test in
dev_hard_start_xmit(), but all this seems of little gain,
now that BQL tends to make packets more likely to be parked
in Qdisc queues instead of NIC TX ring, in cases where performance
matters.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux

2012-03-23T01:15:32+00:00

Pull s390 patches from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "The biggest patch is the rework of the smp code, something I wanted to
  do for some time.  There are some patches for our various dump methods
  and one new thing: z/VM LGR detection.  LGR stands for linux-guest-
  relocation and is the guest migration feature of z/VM.  For debugging
  purposes we keep a log of the systems where a specific guest has lived."

Fix up trivial conflict in arch/s390/kernel/smp.c due to the scheduler
cleanup having removed some code next to removed s390 code.

[S390] irq: external interrupt code passing

2012-03-11T15:59:29+00:00

The external interrupt handlers have a parameter called ext_int_code.
Besides the name this paramter does not only contain the ext_int_code
but in addition also the "cpu address" (POP) which caused the external
interrupt.
To make the code a bit more obvious pass a struct instead so the called
function can easily distinguish between external interrupt code and
cpu address. The cpu address field however is named "subcode" since
some external interrupt sources do not pass a cpu address but a
different parameter (or none at all).

af_iucv: add shutdown for HS transport

2012-03-08T06:52:24+00:00

AF_IUCV sockets offer a shutdown function. This patch makes sure
shutdown works for HS transport as well.

af_iucv: handle netdev events

2012-03-08T06:52:24+00:00

In case of transport through HiperSockets the underlying network
interface may switch to DOWN state or the underlying network device
may recover. In both cases the socket must change to IUCV_DISCONN
state. If the interface goes down, af_iucv has a chance to notify
its connection peer in addition.

af_iucv: allow retrieval of maximum message size

2012-02-08T23:50:19+00:00

For HS transport the maximum message size depends on the MTU-size
of the HS-device bound to the AF_IUCV socket. This patch adds a
getsockopt option MSGSIZE returning the maximum message size that
can be handled for this AF_IUCV socket.

af_iucv: change net_device handling for HS transport

2012-02-08T23:50:19+00:00

This patch saves the net_device in the iucv_sock structure during
bind in order to fasten skb sending.
In addition some other small improvements are made for HS transport:
   - error checking when sending skbs
   - locking changes in afiucv_hs_callback_txnotify
   - skb freeing in afiucv_hs_callback_txnotify
And finally it contains code cleanup to get rid of iucv_skb_queue_purge.

af_iucv: block writing if msg limit is exceeded

af_iucv: remove IUCV-pathes completely

2012-02-08T23:50:19+00:00

A SEVER is missing in the callback of a receiving SEVERED. This may
inhibit z/VM to remove the corresponding IUCV-path completely.
This patch adds a SEVER in iucv_callback_connrej (together with
additional locking.

af_iucv: get rid of state IUCV_SEVERED

2011-12-20T19:05:03+00:00

af_iucv differs unnecessarily between state IUCV_SEVERED and
IUCV_DISCONN. This patch removes state IUCV_SEVERED.
While simplifying af_iucv, this patch removes the 2nd invocation of
cpcmd as well.
