git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull misc keyrings fixes from David Howells: "These break down into five sets: - A patch to error handling in the big_key type for huge payloads. If the payload is larger than the "low limit" and the backing store allocation fails, then big_key_instantiate() doesn't clear the payload pointers in the key, assuming them to have been previously cleared - but only one of them is. Unfortunately, the garbage collector still calls big_key_destroy() when sees one of the pointers with a weird value in it (and not NULL) which it then tries to clean up. - Three patches to fix the keyring type: * A patch to fix the hash function to correctly divide keyrings off from keys in the topology of the tree inside the associative array. This is only a problem if searching through nested keyrings - and only if the hash function incorrectly puts the a keyring outside of the 0 branch of the root node. * A patch to fix keyrings' use of the associative array. The __key_link_begin() function initially passes a NULL key pointer to assoc_array_insert() on the basis that it's holding a place in the tree whilst it does more allocation and stuff. This is only a problem when a node contains 16 keys that match at that level and we want to add an also matching 17th. This should easily be manufactured with a keyring full of keyrings (without chucking any other sort of key into the mix) - except for (a) above which makes it on average adding the 65th keyring. * A patch to fix searching down through nested keyrings, where any keyring in the set has more than 16 keyrings and none of the first keyrings we look through has a match (before the tree iteration needs to step to a more distal node). Test in keyutils test suite: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/keyutils.git/commit/?id=8b4ae963ed92523aea18dfbb8cab3f4979e13bd1 - A patch to fix the big_key type's use of a shmem file as its backing store causing audit messages and LSM check failures. This is done by setting S_PRIVATE on the file to avoid LSM checks on the file (access to the shmem file goes through the keyctl() interface and so is gated by the LSM that way). This isn't normally a problem if a key is used by the context that generated it - and it's currently only used by libkrb5. Test in keyutils test suite: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/keyutils.git/commit/?id=d9a53cbab42c293962f2f78f7190253fc73bd32e - A patch to add a generated file to .gitignore. - A patch to fix the alignment of the system certificate data such that it it works on s390.

Commit 89ce376c6bdc (drivers/net: Use of_match_ptr() macro in smc91x.c) added minimal device tree support to smc91x, but it's not working on many platforms because of the lack of some key configuration bits.

2013-12-09net: phy: consolidate PHY reset in phy_init_hw()Florian Fainelli
There are quite a lot of drivers touching a PHY device MII_BMCR register to reset the PHY without taking care of: 1) ensuring that BMCR_RESET is cleared after a given timeout 2) the PHY state machine resuming to the proper state and re-applying potentially changed settings such as auto-negotiation Introduce phy_poll_reset() which will take care of polling the MII_BMCR for the BMCR_RESET bit to be cleared after a given timeout or return a timeout error code. In order to make sure the PHY is in a correct state, phy_init_hw() first issues a software reset through MII_BMCR and then applies any fixups.

2013-12-09packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket optionDaniel Borkmann
This patch introduces a PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option, that allows for using a similar xmit() function as in pktgen instead of taking the dev_queue_xmit() path. This can be very useful when PF_PACKET applications are required to be used in a similar scenario as pktgen, but with full, flexible packet payload that needs to be provided, for example. On default, nothing changes in behaviour for normal PF_PACKET TX users, so everything stays as is for applications. New users, however, can now set PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS if needed to prevent own packets from i) reentering packet_rcv() and ii) to directly push the frame to the driver. In doing so we can increase pps (here 64 byte packets) for PF_PACKET a bit: # CPUs -- QDISC_BYPASS -- qdisc path -- qdisc path[**] 1 CPU == 1,509,628 pps -- 1,208,708 -- 1,247,436 2 CPUs == 3,198,659 pps -- 2,536,012 -- 1,605,779 3 CPUs == 4,787,992 pps -- 3,788,740 -- 1,735,610 4 CPUs == 6,173,956 pps -- 4,907,799 -- 1,909,114 5 CPUs == 7,495,676 pps -- 5,956,499 -- 2,014,422 6 CPUs == 9,001,496 pps -- 7,145,064 -- 2,155,261 7 CPUs == 10,229,776 pps -- 8,190,596 -- 2,220,619 8 CPUs == 11,040,732 pps -- 9,188,544 -- 2,241,879 9 CPUs == 12,009,076 pps -- 10,275,936 -- 2,068,447 10 CPUs == 11,380,052 pps -- 11,265,337 -- 1,578,689 11 CPUs == 11,672,676 pps -- 11,845,344 -- 1,297,412 [...] 20 CPUs == 11,363,192 pps -- 11,014,933 -- 1,245,081 [**]: qdisc path with packet_rcv(), how probably most people seem to use it (hopefully not anymore if not needed) The test was done using a modified trafgen, sending a simple static 64 bytes packet, on all CPUs. The trick in the fast "qdisc path" case, is to avoid reentering packet_rcv() by setting the RAW socket protocol to zero, like: socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0); Tradeoffs are documented as well in this patch, clearly, if queues are busy, we will drop more packets, tc disciplines are ignored, and these packets are not visible to taps anymore. For a pktgen like scenario, we argue that this is acceptable. The pointer to the xmit function has been placed in packet socket structure hole between cached_dev and prot_hook that is hot anyway as we're working on cached_dev in each send path.

2013-12-09packet: fix send path when running with proto == 0Daniel Borkmann
Commit e40526cb20b5 introduced a cached dev pointer, that gets hooked into register_prot_hook(), __unregister_prot_hook() to update the device used for the send path. We need to fix this up, as otherwise this will not work with sockets created with protocol = 0, plus with sll_protocol = 0 passed via sockaddr_ll when doing the bind. So instead, assign the pointer directly. The compiler can inline these helper functions automagically. While at it, also assume the cached dev fast-path as likely(), and document this variant of socket creation as it seems it is not widely used (seems not even the author of TX_RING was aware of that in his reference example [1]).

2013-12-06tcp: auto corkingEric Dumazet
With the introduction of TCP Small Queues, TSO auto sizing, and TCP pacing, we can implement Automatic Corking in the kernel, to help applications doing small write()/sendmsg() to TCP sockets. Idea is to change tcp_push() to check if the current skb payload is under skb optimal size (a multiple of MSS bytes) If under 'size_goal', and at least one packet is still in Qdisc or NIC TX queues, set the TCP Small Queue Throttled bit, so that the push will be delayed up to TX completion time. This delay might allow the application to coalesce more bytes in the skb in following write()/sendmsg()/sendfile() system calls. The exact duration of the delay is depending on the dynamics of the system, and might be zero if no packet for this flow is actually held in Qdisc or NIC TX ring. Using FQ/pacing is a way to increase the probability of autocorking being triggered.

2013-12-05net: davinci_emac: Fix platform data handling and make usable for am3517Tony Lindgren
When booted with device tree, we may still have platform data passed as auxdata. For am3517 this is needed for passing the interrupt_enable and interrupt_disable callbacks that access the omap system control module registers. These callback functions will eventually go away when we have a separate system control module driver. Some of the things that are currently passed as platform data we don't need to set up as device tree properties as they are always the same on am3517. So let's use a new compatible flag for those so we can get those from the device tree match data. Also note that we need to fix setting of phy_dev to NULL instead of an empty string as the code later on uses that to find the first phy on the mdio bus. This seems to have been caused by 5d69e0076a72 (net: davinci_emac: switch to new mdio). Signed-off-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into fixes From Tony Lindgren: Some omap related fixes that have come up with people moving to device tree only based booting for omap2+. The series contains a handful of fixes for the igep boards as they were one of the first omap3 boards to jump over completely to device tree based booting. So these can be considered regressions compared to booting igep in legacy mode with board files in v3.12. Also included are few other device tree vs legacy booting regressions: - yet more missing omap3 .dtsi entries that have showed up booting various boards with device tree only - n900 eMMC device tree fix - fixes for beagle USB EHCI - two fixes to make omap2420 MMC work As we're moving omap2+ to be device tree only for v3.14, I'd like to have v3.13 work equally well for legacy based booting and device tree based booting. So there will be likely few more device tree related booting patches trickling in. This series also includes a regression fix for the omap timer posted mode that may wrongly stay on from the bootloader for some SoCs. * tag 'omap-for-v3.13/fixes-against-rc1-take2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap: mmc: omap: Fix I2C dependency and make driver usable with device tree mmc: omap: Fix DMA configuration to not rely on device id ARM: dts: omap3-beagle: Fix USB host on beagle boards (for 3.13) ARM: dts: omap3-igep0020: name twl4030 VPLL2 regulator as vdds_dsi ARM: dts: AM33XX IGEP0033: add USB support ARM: dts: AM33XX BASE0033: add 32KBit EEPROM support ARM: dts: AM33XX BASE0033: add pinmux and user led support ARM: dts: AM33XX BASE0033: add pinmux and hdmi node to enable display ARM: dts: omap3-igep0020: Add pinmuxing for DVI output ARM: dts: omap3-igep0020: Add pinmux setup for i2c devices ARM: dts: omap3-igep: Update to use the TI AM/DM37x processor ARM: dts: omap3-igep: Add support for LBEE1USJYC WiFi connected to SDIO ARM: dts: omap3-igep: Fix bus-width for mmc1 ARM: OMAP2+: dss-common: change IGEP's DVI DDC i2c bus ARM: OMAP2+: Disable POSTED mode for errata i103 and i767 ARM: OMAP2+: Fix eMMC on n900 with device tree ARM: OMAP2+: Add fixed regulator to omap2plus_defconfig ARM: OMAP2+: Fix more missing data for omap3.dtsi file Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

2013-12-02KEYS: Fix multiple key add into associative arrayDavid Howells
If sufficient keys (or keyrings) are added into a keyring such that a node in the associative array's tree overflows (each node has a capacity N, currently 16) and such that all N+1 keys have the same index key segment for that level of the tree (the level'th nibble of the index key), then assoc_array_insert() calls ops->diff_objects() to indicate at which bit position the two index keys vary. However, __key_link_begin() passes a NULL object to assoc_array_insert() with the intention of supplying the correct pointer later before we commit the change. This means that keyring_diff_objects() is given a NULL pointer as one of its arguments which it does not expect. This results in an oops like the attached. With the previous patch to fix the keyring hash function, this can be forced much more easily by creating a keyring and only adding keyrings to it. Add any other sort of key and a different insertion path is taken - all 16+1 objects must want to cluster in the same node slot. This can be tested by: r=`keyctl newring sandbox @s` for ((i=0; i<=16; i++)); do keyctl newring ring$i $r; done This should work fine, but oopses when the 17th keyring is added. Since ops->diff_objects() is always called with the first pointer pointing to the object to be inserted (ie. the NULL pointer), we can fix the problem by changing the to-be-inserted object pointer to point to the index key passed into assoc_array_insert() instead. Whilst we're at it, we also switch the arguments so that they are the same as for ->compare_object().
