Since driver statistics flow access MACs and those might reset during
link re-configurations, when we're about to change link properties we
have to make sure that statistics are not operational.
Statisics would be re-enabled [i.e., gathering of statistics would
re-commence] once physical link is achieved again.
Since driver employs a link-flap avoidance scheme, there are scenarios
where driver will receive no indication that the new link is up, and
as a result the statistics would not be re-enabled.
Preventing LFA from working in such cases would guarantee that we'll
always receive such indications and thus will fix statistics gathering.

20g-capable devices are not configured properly for self-test, using
10g as their speed which cause the link indication to remain down and

There's a bug in today's driver where VF requests to add/remove MAC filters
always reach the Hypervisor as add requests.
This prevents the VF from changing its MAC address, as it cannot remove the
previously configured MAC and runs out of MAC credits.

The scratchpad is a shared block between all functions of a given device.
Due to HW limitations, we can't properly close its parity notifications
to all functions on legal flows.
E.g., it's possible that while taking a register dump from one function
a parity error would be triggered on other functions.
Today driver doesn't consider this parity as a 'real' parity unless its
being accompanied by additional indications [which would happen in a real
parity scenario]; But it does print notifications for such events in the
system logs.
This eliminates such prints - in case of real parities driver would have
additional indications; But if this is the only signal user will not even
see a parity being logged in the system.

Each time a flow finishes reads from the classification shadow
configuration in the driver, that flow would check for pending commands
and pass them to FW if possible.
In case there's already a completion pending command, I.e., a ramrod
that has been sent to the FW and is yet to be completed while said flow
tries to configure the pending command we would get a false error message
in logs [and panic if SOE was used for driver compilation] since the
command could not have been completed.
This prevents said print [and panic]; The pending command will be sent by
the time the completion of the current sent command would arrive.

This fixes several issues relating to asymmetric configuration:
1. When user requests to disable TX, the local-device needs to
advertise both PAUSE and ASM_DIR, but to avoid transmitting pause
frames. In the 578xx, it would ignore the TX disable.
2. When user advertises RX-only, ASM_DIR was advertised instead of
PAUSE/ASM_DIR.
3. When changing mode, the advertised PAUSE/ASM_DIR was not cleared
before setting new one, so disabling RX or TX had no impact on the
'advertised' as appeared in the 'ethtool -a' output.

We use spinlock to access a single flag. We can avoid spin_locks by using
atomic variable and atomic_cmpxchg(). Use atomic_cmpxchg to set the flag
for idle to poll. And a simple atomic_set to unlock (set idle from poll).
In napi poll, if gro is enabled, we call napi_gro_receive() to deliver the
packets. Before we call napi_complete(), i.e while re-polling, if low
latency busy poll is called, we use netif_receive_skb() to deliver the packets.
At this point if there are some skb's held in GRO, busy poll could deliver the
packets out of order. So we call napi_gro_flush() to flush skbs before we
move the napi poll to idle.

Or Gerlitz says:
====================
mlx4 driver fixes, June 24, 2015
Some fixes that we made recently, all need to go into stable.
patch #1 "net/mlx4_en: Release TX QP when destroying TX ring" and patch #3
"Fix wrong csum complete report when rxvlan offload is disabled" to >= 3.19
patch #2 "Wake TX queues only when there's enough room" addressing a bug
which is there from day one... should go to whatever kernels it's still applicable
patch #4 "mlx4: Disable HA for SRIOV PF RoCE devices" to >= 4.0
The patches are marked with net but are made against net-next,
as the net tree still doesn't contain all the net-next bits.

When in HA mode, the driver exposes an IB (RoCE) device instance with only
one port. Under SRIOV, the existing implementation doesn't go well with
the PF RoCE driver's role of Special QPs Para-Virtualization, etc.
As such, disable HA for the mlx4 PF RoCE device in SRIOV mode.

The check_csum() function relied on hwtstamp_rx_filter to know if rxvlan
offload is disabled. This is wrong since rxvlan offload can be switched
on/off regardless of hwtstamp_rx_filter.
Also moved check_csum to query CQE information to identify VLAN packets
and removed the check of IP packets, since it has been validated before.

Indication of a single completed packet, marked by txbbs_skipped
being bigger then zero, in not enough in order to wake up a
stopped TX queue. The completed packet may contain a single TXBB,
while next packet to be sent (after the wake up) may have multiple
TXBBs (LSO/TSO packets for example), causing overflow in queue followed
by WQE corruption and TX queue timeout.
Instead, wake the stopped queue only when there's enough room for the
worst case (maximum sized WQE) packet that we should need to handle after
the queue is opened again.
Also created an helper routine - mlx4_en_is_tx_ring_full, which checks
if the current TX ring is full or not. It provides better code readability
and removes code duplication.

Since commit 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on
local node"), we handle THP allocations on page fault in a special way -
for non-interleave memory policies, the allocation is only attempted on
the node local to the current CPU, if the policy's nodemask allows the
node.
This is motivated by the assumption that THP benefits cannot offset the
cost of remote accesses, so it's better to fallback to base pages on the
local node (which might still be available, while huge pages are not due
to fragmentation) than to allocate huge pages on a remote node.
The nodemask check prevents us from violating e.g. MPOL_BIND policies
where the local node is not among the allowed nodes. However, the
current implementation can still give surprising results for the
MPOL_PREFERRED policy when the preferred node is different than the
current CPU's local node.
In such case we should honor the preferred node and not use the local
node, which is what this patch does. If hugepage allocation on the
preferred node fails, we fall back to base pages and don't try other
nodes, with the same motivation as is done for the local node hugepage
allocations. The patch also moves the MPOL_INTERLEAVE check around to
simplify the hugepage specific test.
The difference can be demonstrated using in-tree transhuge-stress test
on the following 2-node machine where half memory on one node was
occupied to show the difference.

Number of successful THP allocations corresponds to free memory on node 0 in
the first case and node 1 in the second case, i.e. -p parameter is ignored and
cpu binding "wins".

transhuge-stress: 4.628 s/loop, 0.581 ms/page, 3440.893 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3918 different pages
The -p parameter is respected regardless of cpu binding.
> numactl -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.202 s/loop, 0.277 ms/page, 7230.003 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1750 different pages

transhuge-stress: 3.020 s/loop, 0.379 ms/page, 5273.324 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3916 different pages
Without -p parameter, hugepage restriction to CPU-local node works as before.

One of the rocksdb people noticed that when you do something like this
fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, 0, 10M)
pwrite(fd, buf, 5M, 0)
ftruncate(5M)
on tmpfs, the file would still take up 10M: which led to super fun
issues because we were getting ENOSPC before we thought we should be
getting ENOSPC. This patch fixes the problem, and mirrors what all the
other fs'es do (and was agreed to be the correct behaviour at LSF).
I tested it locally to make sure it worked properly with the following
xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 10M" -c "pwrite 0 5M" -c "truncate 5M" file
Without the patch we have "Blocks: 20480", with the patch we have the
correct value of "Blocks: 10240".

The cause is the last region was missed at the and of hot add memory,
and p_start, p_end, node_start were not reset, so when hot add memory to
a new node, it will consider they are not contiguous blocks and print
the previous one. So we print the last vmemmap region at the end of hot
add memory to avoid the confusion.

The kmemleak memory scanning uses finer grained object->lock spinlocks
primarily to avoid races with the memory block freeing. However, the
pointer lookup in the rb tree requires the kmemleak_lock to be held.
This is currently done in the find_and_get_object() function for each
pointer-like location read during scanning. While this allows a low
latency on kmemleak_*() callbacks on other CPUs, the memory scanning is
slower.
This patch moves the kmemleak_lock outside the scan_block() loop,
acquiring/releasing it only once per scanned memory block. The
allow_resched logic is moved outside scan_block() and a new
scan_large_block() function is implemented which splits large blocks in
MAX_SCAN_SIZE chunks with cond_resched() calls in-between. A redundant
(object->flags & OBJECT_NO_SCAN) check is also removed from
scan_object().
With this patch, the kmemleak scanning performance is significantly
improved: at least 50% with lock debugging disabled and over an order of
magnitude with lock proving enabled (on an arm64 system).

While very unlikely (usually kmemleak or sl*b bug), the create_object()
function in mm/kmemleak.c may fail to insert a newly allocated object into
the rb tree. When this happens, kmemleak disables itself and prints
additional information about the object already found in the rb tree.
Such printing is done with the parent->lock acquired, however the
kmemleak_lock is already held. This is a potential race with the scanning
thread which acquires object->lock and kmemleak_lock in a
This patch removes the locking around the 'parent' object information
printing. Such object cannot be freed or removed from object_tree_root
and object_list since kmemleak_lock is already held. There is a very
small risk that some of the object data is being modified on another CPU
but the only downside is inconsistent information printing.

Calling delete_object_*() on the same pointer is not a standard use case
(unless there is a bug in the code calling kmemleak_free()). However,
during kmemleak disabling (error or user triggered via /sys), there is a
potential race between kmemleak_free() calls on a CPU and
__kmemleak_do_cleanup() on a different CPU.
The current delete_object_*() implementation first performs a look-up
holding kmemleak_lock, increments the object->use_count and then
re-acquires kmemleak_lock to remove the object from object_tree_root and
object_list.
This patch simplifies the delete_object_*() mechanism to both look up
and remove an object from the object_tree_root and object_list
atomically (guarded by kmemleak_lock). This allows safe concurrent
calls to delete_object_*() on the same pointer without additional
locking for synchronising the kmemleak_free_enabled flag.
A side effect is a slight improvement in the delete_object_*() performance
by avoiding acquiring kmemleak_lock twice and incrementing/decrementing
object->use_count.

The kmemleak scanning thread can run for minutes. Callbacks like
kmemleak_free() are allowed during this time, the race being taken care
of by the object->lock spinlock. Such lock also prevents a memory block
from being freed or unmapped while it is being scanned by blocking the
kmemleak_free() -> ... -> __delete_object() function until the lock is
released in scan_object().
When a kmemleak error occurs (e.g. it fails to allocate its metadata),
kmemleak_enabled is set and __delete_object() is no longer called on
freed objects. If kmemleak_scan is running at the same time,
kmemleak_free() no longer waits for the object scanning to complete,
allowing the corresponding memory block to be freed or unmapped (in the
case of vfree()). This leads to kmemleak_scan potentially triggering a
page fault.
This patch separates the kmemleak_free() enabling/disabling from the
overall kmemleak_enabled nob so that we can defer the disabling of the
object freeing tracking until the scanning thread completed. The
kmemleak_free_part() is deliberately ignored by this patch since this is
only called during boot before the scanning thread started.

memcg->under_oom tracks whether the memcg is under OOM conditions and is
an atomic_t counter managed with mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom(). While
atomic_t appears to be simple synchronization-wise, when used as a
synchronization construct like here, it's trickier and more error-prone
due to weak memory ordering rules, especially around atomic_read(), and
false sense of security.
For example, both non-trivial read sites of memcg->under_oom are a bit
problematic although not being actually broken.
* mem_cgroup_oom_register_event()
It isn't explicit what guarantees the memory ordering between event
addition and memcg->under_oom check. This isn't broken only because
memcg_oom_lock is used for both event list and memcg->oom_lock.
* memcg_oom_recover()
The lockless test doesn't have any explanation why this would be
safe.
mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom() are very cold paths and there's no point
in avoiding locking memcg_oom_lock there. This patch converts
memcg->under_oom from atomic_t to int, puts their modifications under
memcg_oom_lock and documents why the lockless test in
memcg_oom_recover() is safe.

Change frontswap single pointer to a singly linked list of frontswap
implementations. Update Xen tmem implementation as register no longer
returns anything.
Frontswap only keeps track of a single implementation; any
implementation that registers second (or later) will replace the
previously registered implementation, and gets a pointer to the previous
implementation that the new implementation is expected to pass all
frontswap functions to if it can't handle the function itself. However
that method doesn't really make much sense, as passing that work on to
every implementation adds unnecessary work to implementations; instead,
frontswap should simply keep a list of all registered implementations
and try each implementation for any function. Most importantly, neither
of the two currently existing frontswap implementations in the kernel
actually do anything with any previous frontswap implementation that
they replace when registering.
This allows frontswap to successfully manage multiple implementations by
keeping a list of them all.

Try to allocate all boot time kernel data structures from mirrored
memory.
If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using
non-mirrored memory to make sure that we still boot.
By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page
structures. 64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ... or about 1.5% of total
system memory. For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to
applications this may represent a useful improvement to system
availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory
allocated to the kernel.

based on attribute
Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to
process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
reading from disk).
But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
be able to recover.
Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.
Gen1: All memory is mirrored
Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
mirror
Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications
Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
Pro: Keep more of the capacity
Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance
Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
controller
Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
Con: I have to write memory management code to implement
The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
This has been broken into two phases:
1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
allocations
2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
page_alloc.c is scary).
This patch (of 3):
Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on
attribute. No functional changes

page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and
__ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling
add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the
direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic.
This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault
path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and
do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be
called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it
is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.

alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use region_chg to calculate the
number of pages which will be added to the reserve map. Subpool and
global reserve counts are adjusted based on the output of region_chg.
Before the pages are actually added to the reserve map, these routines
could race and add fewer pages than expected. If this happens, the
subpool and global reserve counts are not correct.
Compare the number of pages actually added (region_add) to those expected
to added (region_chg). If fewer pages are actually added, this indicates

While working on hugetlbfs fallocate support, I noticed the following race
in the existing code. It is unlikely that this race is hit very often in
the current code. However, if more functionality to add and remove pages
to hugetlbfs mappings (such as fallocate) is added the likelihood of
hitting this race will increase.
alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use information from the reserve
map to determine if there are enough available huge pages to complete the
operation, as well as adjust global reserve and subpool usage counts. The
order of operations is as follows:
- call region_chg() to determine the expected change based on reserve map
- determine if enough resources are available for this operation
- adjust global counts based on the expected change
- call region_add() to update the reserve map
The issue is that reserve map could change between the call to region_chg
and region_add. In this case, the counters which were adjusted based on
the output of region_chg will not be correct.
In order to hit this race today, there must be an existing shared hugetlb
mmap created with the MAP_NORESERVE flag. A page fault to allocate a huge
page via this mapping must occur at the same another task is mapping the
same region without the MAP_NORESERVE flag.
The patch set does not prevent the race from happening. Rather, it adds
simple functionality to detect when the race has occurred. If a race is
detected, then the incorrect counts are adjusted.
Review comments pointed out the need for documentation of the existing
region/reserve map routines. This patch set also adds documentation in
this area.
This patch (of 3):
This is a documentation only patch and does not modify any code.
Descriptions of the routines used for reserve map/region tracking are

There is a very subtle difference between mmap()+mlock() vs
mmap(MAP_LOCKED) semantic. The former one fails if the population of the
area fails while the later one doesn't. This basically means that
mmap(MAPLOCKED) areas might see major fault after mmap syscall returns
which is not the case for mlock. mmap man page has already been altered
but Documentation/vm/unevictable-lru.txt deserves a clarification as well.
