net: ipv4: Do not drop to make_route if oif is l3mdev

2016-10-13T16:05:26+00:00

Commit e0d56fdd7342 was a bit aggressive removing l3mdev calls in
the IPv4 stack. If the fib_lookup fails we do not want to drop to
make_route if the oif is an l3mdev device.

Also reverts 19664c6a0009 ("net: l3mdev: Remove netif_index_is_l3_master")
which removed netif_index_is_l3_master.

Fixes: e0d56fdd7342 ("net: l3mdev: remove redundant calls")

cred: simpler, 1D supplementary groups

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

Current supplementary groups code can massively overallocate memory and
is implemented in a way so that access to individual gid is done via 2D
array.

If number of gids is <= 32, memory allocation is more or less tolerable
(140/148 bytes).  But if it is not, code allocates full page (!)
regardless and, what's even more fun, doesn't reuse small 32-entry
array.

2D array means dependent shifts, loads and LEAs without possibility to
optimize them (gid is never known at compile time).

All of the above is unnecessary.  Switch to the usual
trailing-zero-len-array scheme.  Memory is allocated with
kmalloc/vmalloc() and only as much as needed.  Accesses become simpler
(LEA 8(gi,idx,4) or even without displacement).

Maximum number of gids is 65536 which translates to 256KB+8 bytes.  I
think kernel can handle such allocation.

On my usual desktop system with whole 9 (nine) aux groups, struct
group_info shrinks from 148 bytes to 44 bytes, yay!

Nice side effects:

 - "gi->gid[i]" is shorter than "GROUP_AT(gi, i)", less typing,

 - fix little mess in net/ipv4/ping.c
   should have been using GROUP_AT macro but this point becomes moot,

 - aux group allocation is persistent and should be accounted as such.

mm: memcontrol: consolidate cgroup socket tracking

2016-10-08T01:46:29+00:00

The cgroup core and the memory controller need to track socket ownership
for different purposes, but the tracking sites being entirely different
is kind of ugly.

Be a better citizen and rename the memory controller callbacks to match
the cgroup core callbacks, then move them to the same place.

Merge branch 'work.splice_read' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2016-10-07T22:36:58+00:00

Pull VFS splice updates from Al Viro:
 "There's a bunch of branches this cycle, both mine and from other folks
  and I'd rather send pull requests separately.

  This one is the conversion of ->splice_read() to ITER_PIPE iov_iter
  (and introduction of such). Gets rid of a lot of code in fs/splice.c
  and elsewhere; there will be followups, but these are for the next
  cycle...  Some pipe/splice-related cleanups from Miklos in the same
  branch as well"

* 'work.splice_read' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  pipe: fix comment in pipe_buf_operations
  pipe: add pipe_buf_steal() helper
  pipe: add pipe_buf_confirm() helper
  pipe: add pipe_buf_release() helper
  pipe: add pipe_buf_get() helper
  relay: simplify relay_file_read()
  switch default_file_splice_read() to use of pipe-backed iov_iter
  switch generic_file_splice_read() to use of ->read_iter()
  new iov_iter flavour: pipe-backed
  fuse_dev_splice_read(): switch to add_to_pipe()
  skb_splice_bits(): get rid of callback
  new helper: add_to_pipe()
  splice: lift pipe_lock out of splice_to_pipe()
  splice: switch get_iovec_page_array() to iov_iter
  splice_to_pipe(): don't open-code wakeup_pipe_readers()
  consistent treatment of EFAULT on O_DIRECT read/write

skb_splice_bits(): get rid of callback

2016-10-04T00:40:56+00:00

since pipe_lock is the outermost now, we don't need to drop/regain
socket locks around the call of splice_to_pipe() from skb_splice_bits(),
which kills the need to have a socket-specific callback; we can just
call splice_to_pipe() and be done with that.

proc: Reduce cache miss in snmp_seq_show

2016-09-30T05:50:44+00:00

This is to use the generic interfaces snmp_get_cpu_field{,64}_batch to
aggregate the data by going through all the items of each cpu sequentially.
Then snmp_seq_show is split into 2 parts to avoid build warning "the frame
size" larger than 1024.

tcp: Change txhash on every SYN and RTO retransmit

2016-09-28T11:52:34+00:00

The current code changes txhash (flowlables) on every retransmitted
SYN/ACK, but only after the 2nd retransmitted SYN and only after
tcp_retries1 RTO retransmits.

With this patch:
1) txhash is changed with every SYN retransmits
2) txhash is changed with every RTO.

The result is that we can start re-routing around failed (or very
congested paths) as soon as possible. Otherwise application health
checks may fail and the connection may be terminated before we start
to change txhash.

v4: Removed sysctl, txhash is changed for all RTOs
v3: Removed text saying default value of sysctl is 0 (it is 100)
v2: Added sysctl documentation and cleaned code

Tested with packetdrill tests
