Ben Hutchings 5c56580b74 net: Adjust TX queue kobjects if number of queues changes during unregister
If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's
ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues,
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device
unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is
destroyed.  Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects
to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0.

Andrew Vasquez 1621dbbdb9 [SCSI] qla2xxx: Return DID_NO_CONNECT when FC device is lost.
If the target device gets lost, this fix is needed, as it causes
negative unintended responses on basic I/O tests. If the target device
gets lost, the upstream qla2xxx driver returns
SCSI_MLQUEUE_TARGET_BUSY which causes an immediate retry without drop
in the number of allowed retries. This semantic change, as a result of
removing FC_DEVICE_LOST check is reasonable, as it only extends a
short transitional period, until the transport is called to notify
that the rport as lost (fc_remote_port_delete()). Once transport
notification is done, fc_remote_port_chkready() check will take over.

This fixes warnings when CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y:

	net eth0: DMA-API: device driver frees DMA memory with different size [device address=0x000000004781a020] [map size=2048 bytes] [unmap size=64 bytes]

Moreover pass the platform device to dma_{,un}map_single which makes
more sense because the logical network device doesn't know anything
about dma.

Passing the platform device was a suggestion by Lothar Waßmann.

Chris Wright a628e7b87e pci: use security_capable() when checking capablities during config space read
This reintroduces commit 47970b1b which was subsequently reverted
as f00eaeea.  The original change was broken and caused X startup
failures and generally made privileged processes incapable of reading
device dependent config space.  The normal capable() interface returns
true on success, but the LSM interface returns 0 on success.  This thinko
is now fixed in this patch, and has been confirmed to work properly.

So, once again...Eric Paris noted that commit de139a3 ("pci: check caps
from sysfs file open to read device dependent config space") caused the
capability check to bypass security modules and potentially auditing.
Rectify this by calling security_capable() when checking the open file's
capabilities for config space reads.

David S. Miller 2c8cec5c10 ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer.
The general idea is that if we learn new PMTU information, we
bump the peer genid.

This triggers the dst_ops->check() code to validate and if
necessary propagate the new PMTU value into the metrics.

Learned PMTU information self-expires.

This means that it is not necessary to kill a cached route
entry just because the PMTU information is too old.

As a consequence:

1) When the path appears unreachable (dst_ops->link_failure
   or dst_ops->negative_advice) we unwind the PMTU state if
   it is out of date, instead of killing the cached route.

   A redirected route will still be invalidated in these
   situations.

2) rt_check_expire(), rt_worker_func(), et al. are no longer
   necessary at all.

mp_find_ioapic() prints errors like:

    ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 13

if it can't find the IOAPIC that manages that specific GSI. I
see errors like that at every boot of a laptop that apparently
doesn't have any IOAPICs.

But if there are no IOAPICs it doesn't seem to be an error that
none can be found. A solution that gets rid of this message is
to directly return if nr_ioapics (still) is zero. (But keep
returning -1 in that case, so nothing breaks from this change.)

Ian Campbell d11327ad66 arp_notify: unconditionally send gratuitous ARP for NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS.
NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER is an explicit request by the driver to send a link
notification while NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGEADDR generate link
notifications as a sort of side effect.

In the later cases the sysctl option is present because link
notification events can have undesired effects e.g. if the link is
flapping. I don't think this applies in the case of an explicit
request from a driver.

This patch makes NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER unconditional, if preferred we
could add a new sysctl for this case which defaults to on.

This change causes Xen post-migration ARP notifications (which cause
switches to relearn their MAC tables etc) to be sent by default.

addition to leaving the attached device in a random state in the next booted

state), this leaves our peer thinking that the link is still up.  (Note that
a bug has been filed with the KVM folks, #25332, but there's been no

However, when stable clock is not supplied,
the writing of MAC Adress1A/1B register may not be completed.
In this case, it is necessary to load MAC address to MAC Address1A/1B register
by the MAC Address1 load register.

This patch always does the above processing,
in order not to be dependent on system environment.

Bernard Pidoux 68aa3fd551 ROSE: AX25: finding routes simplification
With previous patch, rose_get_neigh() routine
investigates the full list of neighbor nodes
until it finds or not an already connected node whether
it is called locally or through a level 3 transit frame.
If no routes are opened through an adjacent connected node
then a classical connect request is attempted.

Then there is no more reason for an extra loop such
as the one removed by this patch.

Bernard Pidoux c5d8b24ad0 ROSE: rose AX25 packet routing improvement
FPAC AX25 packet application is using Linux kernel ROSE
routing skills in order to connect or send packets to remote stations
knowing their ROSE address via a network of interconnected nodes.

Each FPAC node has a ROSE routing table that Linux ROSE module is
looking at each time a ROSE frame is relayed by the node or when
a connect request to a neighbor node is received.

A previous patch improved the system time response by looking at
already established routes each time the system was looking for a
route to relay a frame. If a neighbor node routing the destination
address was already connected, then the frame would be sent
through him. If not, a connection request would be issued.

The present patch extends the same routing capability to a connect
request asked by a user locally connected into an FPAC node.
Without this patch, a connect request was not well handled unless it
was directed to an immediate connected neighbor of the local node.

Implemented at a number of ROSE FPAC node stations, the present patch
improved dramatically FPAC ROSE routing time response and efficiency.

Tsutomu Itoh c26a920373 Btrfs: check return value of alloc_extent_map()
I add the check on the return value of alloc_extent_map() to several places.
In addition, alloc_extent_map() returns only the address or NULL.
Therefore, check by IS_ERR() is unnecessary. So, I remove IS_ERR() checking.
