Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Simon Wunderlich e70171957a Staging: batman-adv: receive packets directly using skbs
This patch removes the (ugly and racy) packet receiving thread and the
kernel socket usage. Instead, packets are received directly by registering
the ethernet type and handling skbs instead of self-allocated buffers.

Some consequences and comments:

 * we don't copy the payload data when forwarding/sending/receiving data
   anymore. This should boost performance.
 * packets from/to different interfaces can be (theoretically) processed
   simultaneously. Only the big originator hash lock might be in the way.
 * no more polling or sleeping/wakeup/scheduling issues when receiving
   packets
 * this might introduce new race conditions.
 * aggregation and vis code still use packet buffers and are not (yet)
   converted.
 * all spinlocks were converted to irqsave/restore versions to solve
   some lifelock issues when preempted. This might be overkill, some
   of these locks might be reverted later.
 * skb copies are only done if neccesary to avoid overhead

performance differences:

 * we made some "benchmarks" with intel laptops.
 * bandwidth on Gigabit Ethernet increased from ~500 MBit/s to ~920 MBit/s
 * ping latency decresed from ~2ms to ~0.2 ms

I did some tests on my 9 node qemu environment and could confirm that
usual sending/receiving, forwarding, vis, batctl ping etc works.

Sven Eckelmann cec4a69cfc Staging: batman-adv: Use forw_bcast_list_lock always with disabled interrupts
forw_bcast_list_lock is spin_locked in both process and softirq context.
SoftIRQ calls the spinlock with disabled IRQ and normal process context
with enabled IRQs.

When process context is inside an spin_locked area protected by
forw_bcast_list_lock and gets interrupted by an IRQ, it could happen
that something tries to lock forw_bcast_list_lock again in SoftIRQ
context. It cannot proceed further since the lock is already taken
somewhere else, but no reschedule will happen inside the SoftIRQ
context. This leads to an complete kernel hang without any chance of
resurrection.

All functions called in process context must disable IRQs when they try
to get get that lock to to prevent any reschedule due to IRQs.
