This patch implements F-RTO (foward RTO recovery):
When the first retransmission after timeout is acknowledged, F-RTO
sends new data instead of old data. If the next ACK acknowledges
some never-retransmitted data, then the timeout was spurious and the
congestion state is reverted. Otherwise if the next ACK selectively
acknowledges the new data, then the timeout was genuine and the
loss recovery continues. This idea applies to recurring timeouts
as well. While F-RTO sends different data during timeout recovery,
it does not (and should not) change the congestion control.
The implementaion follows the three steps of SACK enhanced algorithm
(section 3) in RFC5682. Step 1 is in tcp_enter_loss(). Step 2 and
3 are in tcp_process_loss(). The basic version is not supported
because SACK enhanced version also works for non-SACK connections.
The new implementation is functionally in parity with the old F-RTO
implementation except the one case where it increases undo events:
In addition to the RFC algorithm, a spurious timeout may be detected
without sending data in step 2, as long as the SACK confirms not
all the original data are dropped. When this happens, the sender
will undo the cwnd and perhaps enter fast recovery instead. This
additional check increases the F-RTO undo events by 5x compared
to the prior implementation on Google Web servers, since the sender
often does not have new data to send for HTTP.
Note F-RTO may detect spurious timeout before Eifel with timestamps
does so.

The patch series refactor the F-RTO feature (RFC4138/5682).
This is to simplify the loss recovery processing. Existing F-RTO
was developed during the experimental stage (RFC4138) and has
many experimental features. It takes a separate code path from
the traditional timeout processing by overloading CA_Disorder
instead of using CA_Loss state. This complicates CA_Disorder state
handling because it's also used for handling dubious ACKs and undos.
While the algorithm in the RFC does not change the congestion control,
the implementation intercepts congestion control in various places
(e.g., frto_cwnd in tcp_ack()).
The new code implements newer F-RTO RFC5682 using CA_Loss processing
path. F-RTO becomes a small extension in the timeout processing
and interfaces with congestion control and Eifel undo modules.
It lets congestion control (module) determines how many to send
independently. F-RTO only chooses what to send in order to detect
spurious retranmission. If timeout is found spurious it invokes
existing Eifel undo algorithms like DSACK or TCP timestamp based
detection.
The first patch removes all F-RTO code except the sysctl_tcp_frto is
left for the new implementation. Since CA_EVENT_FRTO is removed, TCP
westwood now computes ssthresh on regular timeout CA_EVENT_LOSS event.

This is a minimal stand-alone user space helper, that allows for debugging or
verification of emitted BPF JIT images. This is in particular useful for
emitted opcode debugging, since minor bugs in the JIT compiler can be fatal.
The disassembler is architecture generic and uses libopcodes and libbfd.
How to get to the disassembly, example:
1) `echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable`
2) Load a BPF filter (e.g. `tcpdump -p -n -s 0 -i eth1 host 192.168.20.0/24`)
3) Run e.g. `bpf_jit_disasm -o` to disassemble the most recent JIT code output
`bpf_jit_disasm -o` will display the related opcodes to a particular instruction
as well. Example for x86_64:

John W. Linville says:
====================
This is a big pull request for new features intended for the 3.10
stream...
Regarding mac80211, Johannes says:
"First, I merged mac80211/master to avoid some conflicts. This brings in
a bunch of fixes you're already familiar with. For real -next material,
I have a whole bunch of minstrel work, minstrel_ht from Felix and legacy
minstrel from Thomas (Huehn). The other Thomas (Pedersen) did a number
of changes in mesh to allow userspace peering management even when the
mesh isn't secured. Stanislaw changes suspend/resume to always
disconnect the networks. This is typically already done by
network-manager so won't make a huge difference for most users, but
fixes a number problems, particularly with USB drivers that can easily
disconnect while suspended. Ilan has a small change to allow mac80211
drivers to differentiate remain-on-channel reasons, and Jouni extends
nl80211 to allow fast roaming with full-MAC devices. I have a fairly
large number of patches as well, many of them fairly simple cleanups,
but also allowing split wiphy dumps and adding back the full wiphy
information in nl80211, station entry change checking and more VHT work
including VHT capability overrides (mostly for testing purposes)."
And for iwlwifi, Johannes says:
"Here, I also merged iwlwifi-fixes to avoid conflicts, and otherwise have
various cleanups and improvements on the MVM driver, along with a few
throughout the driver. Other than Bluetooth Coexistence from Emmanuel
there's no over-arching theme, so listing them would pretty much
reproduce the shortlog."
Regarding NFC, Samuel says:
"The 2 features we have with this one are:
- An LLCP Service Name Lookup (SNL) netlink interface for querying LLCP
service availability from user space.
Along the way, Thierry also improved the existing SNL interface for
aggregating SNL responses.
- An initial LLCP socket options implementation, for setting the Receive
Window (RW) and the Maximum Information Unit Extension (MIUX) per socket.
This is need for the LLCP validation tests.
We also have a microread MEI build failure here: I am not sending this one to
3.9 because the MEI bus code is not there yet, so it won't break for anyone
else than me."
And for ath6kl, Kalle says:
"I added tracing support to ath6kl, along with a new Kconfig option. Now
there's also a workaround to reset USB devices when the firmware upload
fails, this happened when host was warm rebooted. There are also quite a
few small fixes or cleanup."
On top of all that, there is the usual bundle of driver updates
with new features, new hardware support and the like mixed-in.
The ath9k, b43, brcmfmac, mwifiex, rt2800, and wil6210 drivers
are all well-represented, and a few other drivers are hit as well.
I also pulled-in the wireless fixes tree in order to resolve some
pending merge conflicts.
Please let me know if there are problems!

Note that clearing NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT is tricky, since it requires

We need to clear the NFS_LSEG_LAYOUTCOMMIT bits atomically with the
NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT bit, otherwise we may end up with situations
where the two are out of sync.
The first half of the problem is to ensure that pnfs_layoutcommit_inode
clears the NFS_LSEG_LAYOUTCOMMIT bit through pnfs_list_write_lseg.
We still need to keep the reference to those segments until the RPC call
is finished, so in order to make it clear _where_ those references come
from, we add a helper pnfs_list_write_lseg_done() that cleans up after
pnfs_list_write_lseg.

There's not much we can do to work around and keep traversing the
variable list once we hit this firmware bug. Our only solution is to
terminate the loop because, as Lingzhu reports, some machines get
stuck when they encounter duplicate names,
> I had an IBM System x3100 M4 and x3850 X5 on which kernel would

Also disable the workqueue, as efivar_update_sysfs_entries() uses
GetNextVariableName() to figure out which variables have been created
since the last iteration. That algorithm isn't going to work if
GetNextVariableName() returns duplicates. Note that we don't disable
EFI variable creation completely on the affected machines, it's just
that any pstore dump-* files won't appear in sysfs until the next
boot.

It's not wise to assume VariableNameSize represents the length of
VariableName, as not all firmware updates VariableNameSize in the same
way (some don't update it at all if EFI_SUCCESS is returned). There
are even implementations out there that update VariableNameSize with
values that are both larger than the string returned in VariableName
and smaller than the buffer passed to GetNextVariableName(), which
resulted in the following bug report from Michael Schroeder,
> On HP z220 system (firmware version 1.54), some EFI variables are
> incorrectly named :
>
> ls -d /sys/firmware/efi/vars/*8be4d* | grep -v -- -8be returns

The issue here is that because we blindly use VariableNameSize without
verifying its value, we can potentially read garbage values from the
buffer containing VariableName if VariableNameSize is larger than the
length of VariableName.
Since VariableName is a string, we can calculate its size by searching
for the terminating NULL character.

We know that with some firmware implementations writing too much data to
UEFI variables can lead to bricking machines. Recent changes attempt to
address this issue, but for some it may still be prudent to avoid
writing large amounts of data until the solution has been proven on a
wide variety of hardware.
Crash dumps or other data from pstore can potentially be a large data
source. Add a pstore_module parameter to efivars to allow disabling its
use as a backend for pstore. Also add a config option,
CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE, to allow setting the default
value of this paramter to true (i.e. disabled by default).

Add a new option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE, which can be set to N to
avoid using efivars as a backend to pstore, as some users may want to
compile out the code completely.
Set the default to Y to maintain backwards compatability, since this
feature has always been enabled until now.

While testing the mgag200 kms driver on the HP ProLiant Gen8, a
bug was seen. Once the bootloader would load the selected kernel,
the screen would go black. At first it was assumed that the
mgag200 kms driver was hanging. But after setting up the grub
serial output, it was seen that the driver was being loaded
properly. After trying serval monitors, one finaly displayed
the message "Frequency Out of Range". By comparing the kms pll
algorithm with the previous mgag200 xorg driver pll algorithm,
discrepencies were found. Once the kms pll algorithm was
modified, the expected pll values were produced. This fix was
tested on several monitors of varying native resolutions.

This patch (as1670) fixes a regression caused by commit
6402c796d3 (USB: EHCI: work around
silicon bug in Intel's EHCI controllers). The workaround goes through
two IAA cycles for each QH being unlinked. During the first cycle,
the QH is not added to the async_iaa list (because it isn't fully gone
from the hardware yet), which means that list will be empty.
Unfortunately, I forgot to update the IAA watchdog timer routine. It
thinks that an empty async_iaa list means the timer expiration was an
error, which isn't true any more. This problem didn't show up during
initial testing because the controllers being tested all had working
IAA interrupts. But not all controllers do, and when the watchdog
timer expires, the empty-list check prevents the second IAA cycle from
starting. As a result, URB unlinks never complete. The check needs
to be removed.
Among the symptoms of the regression are processes stuck in D wait
states and hangs during system shutdown.

The current DSP loader code abuses snd_hda_lock_devices() for ensuring
the DSP loader not conflicting with the other normal operations. But
this trick obviously doesn't work for the PM resume since the streams
are kept opened there where snd_hda_lock_devices() returns -EBUSY.
That means we need another lock mechanism instead of abuse.
This patch provides the new lock state to azx_dev. Theoretically it's
possible that the DSP loader conflicts with the stream that has been
already assigned for another PCM. If it's running, the DSP loader
should simply fail. If not -- it's the case for PM resume --, we
should assign this stream temporarily to the DSP loader, and take it
back to the PCM after finishing DSP loading. If the PCM is operated
during the DSP loading, it should get an error, too.

Previously, if you did an "ifconfig down" or similar on one core, and
the kernel had CONFIG_XFRM enabled, every core would be interrupted to
check its percpu flow list for items that could be garbage collected.
With this change, we generate a mask of cores that actually have any
percpu items, and only interrupt those cores. When we are trying to
isolate a set of cpus from interrupts, this is important to do.

event.
Could be used for instance by process-managers that want to get
notified as soon as possible about process failures, and not
necessarily beeing notified after coredump, which could be in the

Split the napi budget fairly among the active queues only, instead
of dividing it by the total number of Rx queues assigned to the
given interrupt group.
Use the h/w indication field RXFi in rstat (receive status register)
to identify the active rx queues from the current interrupt group
(i.e. receive event occured on ring i, if ring i is part of the current
interrupt group). This indication field in rstat, RXFi i=0..7,
allows us to find out on which queues of the same interrupt group
do we have incomming traffic once we entered the polling routine for
the given interrupt group. After servicing the ring i, the corresponding
bit RXFi will be written with 1 to clear the active queue indication for
that ring.

There are 2 issues with the current napi poll routine, with regards
to tx ring cleanup:
1) for multi-queue devices (MQ_MG_MODE), should tx_bit_map != rx_bit_map,
which is possible (and supported in h/w) if the DT property "fsl,tx-bit-map"
holds a different value than rx_bit_map, the current polling routine will
service the wrong Tx queues in this case (i.e. the interrupt group will
receive interrupts from tx queues that it will not service)
2) Tx cleanup completion consumes napi budget, whereas the napi budget
should be reserved for Rx work only.
The patch fixes these issues and provides a clean napi polling routine.
Napi poll completion is reached when all the Rx queues have been
serviced and there is no Tx work to do.

When reading the dm cache metadata from disk, ignore the policy hints
unless they were generated by the same major version number of the same
policy module.
The hints are considered to be private data belonging to the specific
module that generated them and there is no requirement for them to make
sense to different versions of the policy that generated them.
Policy modules are all required to work fine if no previous hints are
supplied (or if existing hints are lost).

We have found a race in the optimisation used in the dm cache
writethrough implementation. Currently, dm core sends the cache target
two bios, one for the origin device and one for the cache device and
these are processed in parallel. This patch avoids the race by
changing the code back to a simpler (slower) implementation which
processes the two writes in series, one after the other, until we can
develop a complete fix for the problem.
When the cache is in writethrough mode it needs to send WRITE bios to
both the origin and cache devices.
Previously we've been implementing this by having dm core query the
cache target on every write to find out how many copies of the bio it
wants. The cache will ask for two bios if the block is in the cache,
and one otherwise.
Then main problem with this is it's racey. At the time this check is
made the bio hasn't yet been submitted and so isn't being taken into
account when quiescing a block for migration (promotion or demotion).
This means a single bio may be submitted when two were needed because
the block has since been promoted to the cache (catastrophic), or two
bios where only one is needed (harmless).
I really don't want to start entering bios into the quiescing system
(deferred_set) in the get_num_write_bios callback. Instead this patch
simplifies things; only one bio is submitted by the core, this is
first written to the origin and then the cache device in series.
Obviously this will have a latency impact.
deferred_writethrough_bios is introduced to record bios that must be
later issued to the cache device from the worker thread. This deferred
submission, after the origin bio completes, is required given that we're
in interrupt context (writethrough_endio).
