commit 2482a92e7d17187301d7313cfe5021b13393a0b4 upstream. The earlyprintk for Xen PV guests utilizes a simple hypercall (console_io) to provide output to Xen emergency console. Note that the Xen hypervisor should be booted with 'loglevel=all' to output said information. Reported-by: H.

2013-01-17rbd: kill create_snap sysfs entryAlex Elder1-6/+0
Josh proposed the following change, and I don't think I could explain it any better than he did: From: Josh Durgin <josh.durgin@inktank.com> Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:22:11 -0700 To: ceph-devel <ceph-devel@vger.kernel.org> Message-ID: <500F1203.9050605@inktank.com> From: Josh Durgin <josh.durgin@inktank.com> Right now the kernel still has one piece of rbd management duplicated from the rbd command line tool: snapshot creation. There's nothing special about snapshot creation that makes it advantageous to do from the kernel, so I'd like to remove the create_snap sysfs interface. That is, /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<id>/create_snap would be removed. Does anyone rely on the sysfs interface for creating rbd snapshots? If so, how hard would it be to replace with: rbd snap create pool/image@snap Is there any benefit to the sysfs interface that I'm missing? Josh This patch implements this proposal, removing the code that implements the "snap_create" sysfs interface for rbd images. As a result, quite a lot of other supporting code goes away.

2013-01-11tcp: implement RFC 5961 3.2Eric Dumazet1-0/+5
[ Upstream commit 282f23c6ee343126156dd41218b22ece96d747e3 ] Implement the RFC 5691 mitigation against Blind Reset attack using RST bit. Idea is to validate incoming RST sequence, to match RCV.NXT value, instead of previouly accepted window : (RCV.NXT <= SEG.SEQ < RCV.NXT+RCV.WND) If sequence is in window but not an exact match, send a "challenge ACK", so that the other part can resend an RST with the appropriate sequence. Add a new sysctl, tcp_challenge_ack_limit, to limit number of challenge ACK sent per second. Add a new SNMP counter to count number of challenge acks sent.

2012-11-26memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0Michal Hocko1-0/+4
commit 9a5a8f19b43430752067ecaee62fc59e11e88fa6 upstream. oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it). This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj). A wrong process might be selected as result. The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0 and not considering swap at all in such a case.

2012-10-02ALSA: hda - Workaround for silent output on VAIO Z with ALC889Takashi Iwai1-0/+1
commit e427c2375646789ecd0ccaef1a1e41458559ab2d upstream. On recent kernels, Realtek codec parser tries to optimize the routing aggressively and take the headphone output as primary at first. This caused a regression on VAIO Z with ALC889, the silent output from the speaker. The problem seems that the speaker pin must be connected to the first DAC (0x02) on this machine by some reason although the codec itself advertises the flexible routing with any DACs. This patch adds a fix-up for choosing the speaker pin as the primary so that the right DAC is assigned on this device.

2012-07-16stable: Allow merging of backports for serious user-visible performance issuesMel Gorman1-0/+6
commit eb3979f64d25120d60b9e761a4c58f70b1a02f86 upstream. Distribution kernel maintainers routinely backport fixes for users that were deemed important but not "something critical" as defined by the rules. To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix them reduces the value of -stable. The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention. To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier to entry. This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious" user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available. The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.

2012-05-02tcp: change tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_rmem[2]Eric Dumazet1-2/+2
tcp_adv_win_scale default value is 2, meaning we expect a good citizen skb to have skb->len / skb->truesize ratio of 75% (3/4) In 2.6 kernels we (mis)accounted for typical MSS=1460 frame : 1536 + 64 + 256 = 1856 'estimated truesize', and 1856 * 3/4 = 1392. So these skbs were considered as not bloated. With recent truesize fixes, a typical MSS=1460 frame truesize is now the more precise : 2048 + 256 = 2304. But 2304 * 3/4 = 1728. So these skb are not good citizen anymore, because 1460 < 1728 (GRO can escape this problem because it build skbs with a too low truesize.) This also means tcp advertises a too optimistic window for a given allocated rcvspace : When receiving frames, sk_rmem_alloc can hit sk_rcvbuf limit and we call tcp_prune_queue()/tcp_collapse() too often, especially when application is slow to drain its receive queue or in case of losses (netperf is fast, scp is slow). This is a major latency source. We should adjust the len/truesize ratio to 50% instead of 75% This patch : 1) changes tcp_adv_win_scale default to 1 instead of 2 2) increase tcp_rmem[2] limit from 4MB to 6MB to take into account better truesize tracking and to allow autotuning tcp receive window to reach same value than before. Note that same amount of kernel memory is consumed compared to 2.6 kernels.

Pull block core bits from Jens Axboe: "It's a nice and quiet round this time, since most of the tricky stuff has been pushed to 3.5 to give it more time to mature. After a few hectic block IO core changes for 3.3 and 3.2, I'm quite happy with a slow round. Really minor stuff in here, the only real functional change is making the auto-unplug threshold a per-queue entity. The threshold is set so that it's low enough that we don't hold off IO for too long, but still big enough to get a nice benefit from the batched insert (and hence queue lock cost reduction). For raid configurations, this currently breaks down." * 'for-3.4/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block: make auto block plug flush threshold per-disk based Documentation: Add sysfs ABI change for cfq's target latency. block: Make cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs. block: use lockdep_assert_held for queue locking block: blk_alloc_queue_node(): use caller's GFP flags instead of GFP_KERNEL

The doc says that the data | 55534243 5e000000 00000000 00000600 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000 is the SCSI command 0x5e. According to the usbmon source, it dumps one byte after the other. The first 4 bytes are US_BULK_CB_SIGN which is correct. After that we see the TAG which is 0x5e. The cdb is 0x00 in this example. In order to correct this, I change the example to a READ_10 command which is 0x28 so it is not just a zero somewhere in the stream.

Fix from Eric Dumazet. 11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device. David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until it's downstream can't take data any more. 14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver changes, re-add. From Marc Kleine-Budde. 15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen. 16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (47 commits) net: fix a race in sock_queue_err_skb() netlink: fix races after skb queueing doc, net: Update ndo_start_xmit return type and values doc, net: Remove instruction to set net_device::trans_start doc, net: Update netdev operation names doc, net: Update documentation of synchronisation for TX multiqueue doc, net: Remove obsolete reference to dev->poll ethtool: Remove exception to the requirement of holding RTNL lock MAINTAINERS: update for Marvell Ethernet drivers bonding: properly unset current_arp_slave on slave link up phonet: Check input from user before allocating tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once ipv6: fix array index in ip6_mc_add_src() mlx4: allocate just enough pages instead of always 4 pages stmmac: re-add IFF_UNICAST_FLT for dwmac1000 bnx2x: Clear MDC/MDIO warning message bnx2x: Fix BCM57711+BCM84823 link issue bnx2x: Clear BCM84833 LED after fan failure bnx2x: Fix BCM84833 PHY FW version presentation bnx2x: Fix link issue for BCM8727 boards. ...
