<content type='text'>
Initializing debufs under monc-&gt;mutex introduces a lock dependency for
sb-&gt;s_type-&gt;i_mutex_key, which (combined with several other dependencies)
leads to an annoying lockdep warning.  There's no particular reason to do
the debugfs setup under this lock, so move it out.

It used to be the case that our first monmap could come from the OSD; that
is no longer the case with recent servers, so we will reliably set up the
client entry during the initial authentication.

We don't have to worry about racing with debugfs teardown by
ceph_debugfs_client_cleanup() because ceph_destroy_client() calls
ceph_msgr_flush() first, which will wait for the message dispatch work
to complete (and the debugfs init to complete).

Fixes: #1940

1) Setting link attributes can modify the size of the attributes that
   would be reported on a subsequent getlink netlink operation,
   therefore min_ifinfo_dump_size needs to be adjusted.  From Stefan
   Gula.

2) Resegmentation of TSO frames while trimming can violate invariants
   expected by callers, namely that the number of segments can only stay
   the same or decrease, never increase.  If MSS changes, however, we
   can trim data but then end up with more segments.  Fix this by only
   segmenting to the MSS already recorded in the SKB.  That's the
   simplest fix for now and if we want to get more fancy in the future
   that's a more involved change.

Commit 0884d7aa24 (AF_UNIX: Fix poll blocking problem when reading from
a stream socket) added a regression for epoll() in Edge Triggered mode
(EPOLLET)

Appropriate fix is to use skb_peek()/skb_unlink() instead of
skb_dequeue(), and only call skb_unlink() when skb is fully consumed.

This remove the need to requeue a partial skb into sk_receive_queue head
and the extra sk-&gt;sk_data_ready() calls that added the regression.

This is safe because once skb is given to sk_receive_queue, it is not
modified by a writer, and readers are serialized by u-&gt;readlock mutex.

This also reduce number of spinlock acquisition for small reads or
MSG_PEEK users so should improve overall performance.

<title>tcp: fix tcp_trim_head() to adjust segment count with skb MSS</title>

<id>5b35e1e6e9ca651e6b291c96d1106043c9af314a</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit fixes tcp_trim_head() to recalculate the number of
segments in the skb with the skb's existing MSS, so trimming the head
causes the skb segment count to be monotonically non-increasing - it
should stay the same or go down, but not increase.

Previously tcp_trim_head() used the current MSS of the connection. But
if there was a decrease in MSS between original transmission and ACK
(e.g. due to PMTUD), this could cause tcp_trim_head() to
counter-intuitively increase the segment count when trimming bytes off
the head of an skb. This violated assumptions in tcp_tso_acked() that
tcp_trim_head() only decreases the packet count, so that packets_acked
in tcp_tso_acked() could underflow, leading tcp_clean_rtx_queue() to
pass u32 pkts_acked values as large as 0xffffffff to
ca_ops-&gt;pkts_acked().

As an aside, if tcp_trim_head() had really wanted the skb to reflect
the current MSS, it should have called tcp_set_skb_tso_segs()
unconditionally, since a decrease in MSS would mean that a
single-packet skb should now be sliced into multiple segments.

<title>net/tcp: Fix tcp memory limits initialization when !CONFIG_SYSCTL</title>

sysctl_tcp_mem() initialization was moved to sysctl_tcp_ipv4.c
in commit 3dc43e3e4d0b52197d3205214fe8f162f9e0c334, since it
became a per-ns value.

That code, however, will never run when CONFIG_SYSCTL is
disabled, leading to bogus values on those fields - causing hung
TCP sockets.

This patch fixes it by keeping an initialization code in
tcp_init(). It will be overwritten by the first net namespace
init if CONFIG_SYSCTL is compiled in, and do the right thing if
it is compiled out.

It is also named properly as tcp_init_mem(), to properly signal
its non-sysctl side effect on TCP limits.

caif is a subsystem and as such it needs to register with
register_pernet_subsys instead of register_pernet_device.

Among other problems using register_pernet_device was resulting in
net_generic being called before the caif_net structure was allocated.
Which has been causing net_generic to fail with either BUG_ON's or by
return NULL pointers.

A more ugly problem that could be caused is packets in flight why the
subsystem is shutting down.

To remove confusion also remove the cruft cause by inappropriately
trying to fix this bug.

With the aid of the previous patch I have tested this patch and
confirmed that using register_pernet_subsys makes the failure go away as
it should.
