Currently the rpc code conservatively refuses to accept rpc's from a
client if the sum of its worst-case estimates of the replies it owes
that client exceed the send buffer space.
Unfortunately our estimate of the worst-case reply for an NFSv4 compound
is always the maximum read size. This can unnecessarily limit the
number of operations we handle concurrently, for example in the case
most operations are writes (which have small replies).
We can do a little better if we check which ops the compound contains.
This is still a rough estimate, we'll need to improve on it some day.

Now that we have 64-bits for PMDs we can stop using special encodings
for the huge PMD values, and just put real PTEs in there.
We allocate a _PAGE_PMD_HUGE bit to distinguish between plain PMDs and
huge ones. It is the same for both 4U and 4V PTE layouts.
We also use _PAGE_SPECIAL to indicate the splitting state, since a
huge PMD cannot also be special.
All of the PMD --> PTE translation code disappears, and most of the
huge PMD bit modifications and tests just degenerate into the PTE
operations. In particular USER_PGTABLE_CHECK_PMD_HUGE becomes
trivial.
As a side effect, normal PMDs don't shift the physical address around.
This also speeds up the page table walks in the TLB miss paths since
they don't have to do the shifts any more.
Another non-trivial aspect is that pte_modify() has to be changed
to preserve the _PAGE_PMD_HUGE bits as well as the page size field
of the pte.

The low level interrupt entry code of m68k contains the following:
add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
do_IRQ();
irq_enter();
add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
handle_interrupt();
irq_exit();
sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
if (in_interrupt())
return; <---- On m68k always taken!
if (local_softirq_pending())
do_softirq();
sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
if (in_hardirq())
return;
if (status_on_stack_has_interrupt_priority_mask > 0)
return;
if (local_softirq_pending())
do_softirq();
ret_from_exception:
if (interrupted_context_is_kernel)
return:
....
I tried to find a proper explanation for this, but the changelog is
sparse and there are no mails explaining it further. But obviously
this relates to the interrupt priority levels of the m68k and tries to
be extra clever with nested interrupts. Though this cleverness just
adds code bloat to the interrupt hotpath.
For the common case of non nested interrupts the code runs through two
extra conditionals to the only important one, which checks whether the
return is to kernel or user space.
For the nested case the checks for in_hardirq() and the priority mask
value on stack catch only the case where the nested interrupt happens
inside the hard irq context of the first interrupt. If the nested
interrupt happens while the first interrupt handles soft interrupts,
then these extra checks buy nothing. The nested interrupt will fall
through to the final kernel/user space return check at
ret_from_exception.
Changing the code flow in the following way:
do_IRQ();
irq_enter();
add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
handle_interrupt();
irq_exit();
sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
if (in_interrupt())
return;
if (local_softirq_pending())
do_softirq();
ret_from_exception:
if (interrupted_context_is_kernel)
return:
makes the region protected by the hardirq count slightly smaller and
the softirq handling is invoked with a minimal deeper stack. But
otherwise it's completely functional equivalent and saves 104 bytes of
text in arch/m68k/kernel/entry.o.
This modification allows us further to get rid of the limitations
which m68k puts on the preempt_count layout, so we can make the
preempt count bits completely generic.

snd_hda_codec_reset() is called either in resetting the whole setup at

don't assume that the power has to be off, rather they want to keep
the power state unchanged (e.g. reconfig_codec() calls the power
up/down by itself). Thus, unconditionally clearing the power state in
snd_hda_codec_reset() leads to the inconsistency, confuses the further
operation. This patch gets rid of the lines doing that bad thing.

On a 68k platform a couple of interrupts are demultiplexed and
"polled" from a top level interrupt. Unfortunately there is no way to
determine which of the sub interrupts raised the top level interrupt,
so all of the demultiplexed interrupt handlers need to be
invoked. Given a high enough frequency this can trigger the spurious
interrupt detection mechanism, if one of the demultiplex interrupts
returns IRQ_NONE continuously. But this is a false positive as the
polling causes this behaviour and not buggy hardware/software.
Introduce IRQ_POLLED which can be set at interrupt chip setup time via
irq_set_status_flags(). The flag excludes the interrupt from the
spurious detector and from all core polling activities.

mxs dma channel hardware reset command is not reliable and can cause
a channel stall. The only way to fix the channel stall is a DMA engine
reset.
To avoid channel resets we use the hardware semaphore counter. For each
transmitted segment, the DMA channel will decrease the counter by one.
To use this mechanism with cyclic DMA, we need to increase the semaphore
counter with each completed DMA command in the interrupt handler. To
avoid any interruptions between the DMA transfers, the semaphore counter
is initialized with 2. This way the counter can be increased in the
interrupt handler without an influence on the transfer of the DMA
engine.
When disabling the channel, we stop increasing the semaphore counter in
the interrupt handler.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) The addition of nftables. No longer will we need protocol aware
firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace.
At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual
machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata
(arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions.
Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the
interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as
fundamental operations. For example sets are supports, and
therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries
which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate
byte codes to do such lookups.
Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can
do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel.
Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating
portions of the ruleset. In the existing netfilter implementation,
one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and
this is very expensive.
Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing
netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to
co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the
new stuff.
Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have
worked so hard on this.
2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements
to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like
UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things.
In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test
cases are added.
3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet
and Yang Yingliang.
4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin
Sujir.
5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet,
Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng.
6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary
control message data, much like other socket option attributes.
From Francesco Fusco.
7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed
automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option. From Eric Dumazet.
8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely
reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet.
9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we
can do it for connected UDP sockets too. Implementation from Shawn
Bohrer.
10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux
performance for listening sockets. With the main goals being able
to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the
listening lock contention. From Eric Dumazet.
11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU
conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the
RCU usage to even more locations. From Ding Tianhong and Wang
Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav
Falico.
12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow
segmentation offloading over tunnels. From Eric Dumazet.
13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the
various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as
well as syncookies. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. The key fundamental
operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys.
Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and
our generic flow dissector.
14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to
NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to
explicitly set it to NULL any more. Many drivers have been cleaned
up in this way, from Jingoo Han.
15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann.
16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that
SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled. Also from Daniel
Borkmann.
17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces
using the interface MTU value. This helps avoid PMTU attacks,
particularly on DNS servers. From Hannes Frederic Sowa.
18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal
(re-)implementation in virtio-net. From Jason Wang.
