Currently, tcp_recvmsg enters a busy loop in sk_wait_data if called
with flags = MSG_WAITALL | MSG_PEEK.

sk_wait_data waits for sk_receive_queue not empty, but in this case,
the receive queue is not empty, but does not contain any skb that we
can use.

Add a "last skb seen on receive queue" argument to sk_wait_data, so
that it sleeps until the receive queue has new skbs.

<title>net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg</title>

<id>1b784140474e4fc94281a49e96c67d29df0efbde</id>
<content type='text'>
After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.

<title>net: Add and use skb_copy_datagram_msg() helper.</title>

<id>51f3d02b980a338cd291d2bc7629cdfb2568424b</id>
<content type='text'>
This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr-&gt;msg_iov, length".

When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
sit in the msghdr.

Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
during that transformation.

Based upon descriptions and patch from Al Viro.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on percpu front.  Notable changes are...

   - percpu allocator now can take @gfp.  If @gfp doesn't contain
     GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
     the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
     certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.

     This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
     blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
     writeback IOs.

     Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
     preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c
     ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
     just now.

   - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
     ints.  It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
     64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
     allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
     directly.

   - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
     percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
     percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
     mode.  This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
     the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
     in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
     operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
     blk-mq support).  It's also planned to be used to implement forced
     single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.

  There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
  up the duplicate percpu accessors.  That branch causes a number of
  conflicts with s390 and other trees.  I'll send a separate pull
  request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Most notable changes in here:

   1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
      contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit.  This is
      the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
      several individuals.

      Now, when the -&gt;ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
      skb-&gt;xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
      telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.

      skb-&gt;xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
      call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.

      There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
      packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
      software is now done with no locks held.

      Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
      be used to test a multi-send implementation.

      Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
      virtio_net

      Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
      support this optimization soon.

      I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
      Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
      Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
      David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.

   2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.

   3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
      ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver.  From
      Govindarajulu Varadarajan.

   4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
      driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
      Florian Fainelli.

   5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
      to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
      into pools of pages.  The objective is to get exactly the
      necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
      but no more.  The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
      From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
      by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
      Dumazet.

   6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
      encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility.  From Tom
      Herbert.

   7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
      Fainelli.

   8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
      testsuite.  Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.

   9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
      areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators.  From John
      Fastabend.

  10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
      Duyck.

Pull dmaengine updates from Dan Williams:
 "Even though this has fixes marked for -stable, given the size and the
  needed conflict resolutions this is 3.18-rc1/merge-window material.

  These patches have been languishing in my tree for a long while.  The
  fact that I do not have the time to do proper/prompt maintenance of
  this tree is a primary factor in the decision to step down as
  dmaengine maintainer.  That and the fact that the bulk of drivers/dma/
  activity is going through Vinod these days.

  The net_dma removal has not been in -next.  It has developed simple
  conflicts against mainline and net-next (for-3.18).

  Continuing thanks to Vinod for staying on top of drivers/dma/.

  Summary:

   1/ Step down as dmaengine maintainer see commit 08223d80df38
      "dmaengine maintainer update"

   2/ Removal of net_dma, as it has been marked 'broken' since 3.13
      (commit 77873803363c "net_dma: mark broken"), without reports of
      performance regression.

   3/ Miscellaneous fixes"

* tag 'dmaengine-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/dmaengine:
  net: make tcp_cleanup_rbuf private
  net_dma: revert 'copied_early'
  net_dma: simple removal
  dmaengine maintainer update
  dmatest: prevent memory leakage on error path in thread
  ioat: Use time_before_jiffies()
  dmaengine: fix xor sources continuation
  dma: mv_xor: Rename __mv_xor_slot_cleanup() to mv_xor_slot_cleanup()
  dma: mv_xor: Remove all callers of mv_xor_slot_cleanup()
  dma: mv_xor: Remove unneeded mv_xor_clean_completed_slots() call
  ioat: Use pci_enable_msix_exact() instead of pci_enable_msix()
  drivers: dma: Include appropriate header file in dca.c
  drivers: dma: Mark functions as static in dma_v3.c
  dma: mv_xor: Add DMA API error checks
  ioat/dca: Use dev_is_pci() to check whether it is pci device

Per commit "77873803363c net_dma: mark broken" net_dma is no longer used
and there is no plan to fix it.

This is the mechanical removal of bits in CONFIG_NET_DMA ifdef guards.
Reverting the remainder of the net_dma induced changes is deferred to
subsequent patches.

Marked for stable due to Roman's report of a memory leak in
dma_pin_iovec_pages():
