| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In xt_register_table, xt_jumpstack_alloc is called first, later xt_replace_table is used. But in xt_replace_table, xt_jumpstack_alloc will be used again. Then the memory allocated by previous xt_jumpstack_alloc will be leaked. We can simply remove the previous xt_jumpstack_alloc because there aren't any users of newinfo between xt_jumpstack_alloc and xt_replace_table.

| * | net: sock_queue_err_skb() dont mess with sk_forward_allocEric Dumazet2010-05-314-24/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Correct sk_forward_alloc handling for error_queue would need to use a backlog of frames that softirq handler could not deliver because socket is owned by user thread. Or extend backlog processing to be able to process normal and error packets. Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is what I implemented in this patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As David found out, sock_queue_err_skb() should be called with socket lock hold, or we risk sk_forward_alloc corruption, since we use non atomic operations to update this field. This patch adds bh_lock_sock()/bh_unlock_sock() pair to three spots.

| * | fs_enet: Adjust BDs after tx errorMark Ware2010-05-291-6/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes an occasional transmit lockup in the mac-fcc which occurs after a tx error. The test scenario had the local port set to autoneg and the other end fixed at 100FD, resulting in a large number of late collisions. According to the MPC8280RM 30.10.1.3 (also 8272RM 29.10.1.3), after a tx error occurs, TBPTR may sometimes point beyond BDs still marked as ready. This patch walks back through the BDs and points TBPTR to the earliest one marked as ready. Tested on a custom board with a MPC8280.

Increase the number of kmalloc caches to a safe size.

This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled. On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/ hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average. I suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.

In that case, the optimistic spinning code can get us into a situation where instead of going to sleep, A will spin waiting for B who is spinning waiting for A, and the only way out of that loop is the need_resched() test in mutex_spin_on_owner(). This patch fixes it by completely disabling spinning if we own the BKL. This adds one more detail to the extensive list of reasons why it's a bad idea for kernel code to be holding the BKL.

This is to make sure userspace is not getting anything it should not be when reading the pages, because the excess data was never initialized to zero before writing (for perfomance reasons). But the splice code has no business in doing this work, it should be done by the ring buffer. With the latest changes for recording lost events, the splice code gets it wrong anyway. Move the zeroing out of excess bytes into the ring buffer code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Since the 'commit' includes the padding at the end of a page a "real_end" variable was used to keep track of the end not including the padding. If events were lost, the reader can place the count of events in the padded area if there is enough room. The bug this patch fixes is that when we fill the page we do not reset the real_end variable, and if the writer had wrapped a few times, the real_end would be incorrect. This patch simply resets the real_end if the page was filled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
