Eric Dumazet 3e3aac4975 vlan: fix a race in egress prio management
egress_priority_map[] hash table updates are protected by rtnl,
and we never remove elements until device is dismantled.

We have to make sure that before inserting an new element in hash table,
all its fields are committed to memory or else another cpu could
find corrupt values and crash.

Eric Dumazet d4b812dea4 vlan: mask vlan prio bits
In commit 48cc32d38a
("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols")
Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST
if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this
particular id.

But we also have a problem if prio bits are set.

Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a
vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device,
because skb->vlan_tci is set.

Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000)
being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address :

16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 >

       0x0030:  2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233

It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now.

We can probably do better in future kernels :
vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of
a per vlan_dev one.

For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

Jason Wang ece793fcfc macvtap: do not zerocopy if iov needs more pages than MAX_SKB_FRAGS
We try to linearize part of the skb when the number of iov is greater than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is not enough since each single vector may occupy more than
one pages, so zerocopy_sg_fromiovec() may still fail and may break the guest
network.

Solve this problem by calculate the pages needed for iov before trying to do
zerocopy and switch to use copy instead of zerocopy if it needs more than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS.

This is done through introducing a new helper to count the pages for iov, and
call uarg->callback() manually when switching from zerocopy to copy to notify
vhost.

We can do further optimization on top.

Paolo Valente 87f40dd6ce pkt_sched: sch_qfq: remove a source of high packet delay/jitter
QFQ+ inherits from QFQ a design choice that may cause a high packet
delay/jitter and a severe short-term unfairness. As QFQ, QFQ+ uses a
special quantity, the system virtual time, to track the service
provided by the ideal system it approximates. When a packet is
dequeued, this quantity must be incremented by the size of the packet,
divided by the sum of the weights of the aggregates waiting to be
served. Tracking this sum correctly is a non-trivial task, because, to
preserve tight service guarantees, the decrement of this sum must be
delayed in a special way [1]: this sum can be decremented only after
that its value would decrease also in the ideal system approximated by
QFQ+. For efficiency, QFQ+ keeps track only of the 'instantaneous'
weight sum, increased and decreased immediately as the weight of an
aggregate changes, and as an aggregate is created or destroyed (which,
in its turn, happens as a consequence of some class being
created/destroyed/changed). However, to avoid the problems caused to
service guarantees by these immediate decreases, QFQ+ increments the
system virtual time using the maximum value allowed for the weight
sum, 2^10, in place of the dynamic, instantaneous value. The
instantaneous value of the weight sum is used only to check whether a
request of weight increase or a class creation can be satisfied.

Unfortunately, the problems caused by this choice are worse than the
temporary degradation of the service guarantees that may occur, when a
class is changed or destroyed, if the instantaneous value of the
weight sum was used to update the system virtual time. In fact, the
fraction of the link bandwidth guaranteed by QFQ+ to each aggregate is
equal to the ratio between the weight of the aggregate and the sum of
the weights of the competing aggregates. The packet delay guaranteed
to the aggregate is instead inversely proportional to the guaranteed
bandwidth. By using the maximum possible value, and not the actual
value of the weight sum, QFQ+ provides each aggregate with the worst
possible service guarantees, and not with service guarantees related
to the actual set of competing aggregates. To see the consequences of
this fact, consider the following simple example.

Suppose that only the following aggregates are backlogged, i.e., that
only the classes in the following aggregates have packets to transmit:
one aggregate with weight 10, say A, and ten aggregates with weight 1,
say B1, B2, ..., B10. In particular, suppose that these aggregates are
always backlogged. Given the weight distribution, the smoothest and
fairest service order would be:
A B1 A B2 A B3 A B4 A B5 A B6 A B7 A B8 A B9 A B10 A B1 A B2 ...

QFQ+ would provide exactly this optimal service if it used the actual
value for the weight sum instead of the maximum possible value, i.e.,
11 instead of 2^10. In contrast, since QFQ+ uses the latter value, it
serves aggregates as follows (easy to prove and to reproduce
experimentally):
A B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 A A A A A A A A A A B1 B2 ... B10 A A ...

By replacing 10 with N in the above example, and by increasing N, one
can increase at will the maximum packet delay and the jitter
experienced by the classes in aggregate A.

This patch addresses this issue by just using the above
'instantaneous' value of the weight sum, instead of the maximum
possible value, when updating the system virtual time.  After the
instantaneous weight sum is decreased, QFQ+ may deviate from the ideal
service for a time interval in the order of the time to serve one
maximum-size packet for each backlogged class. The worst-case extent
of the deviation exhibited by QFQ+ during this time interval [1] is
basically the same as of the deviation described above (but, without
this patch, QFQ+ suffers from such a deviation all the time). Finally,
this patch modifies the comment to the function qfq_slot_insert, to
make it coherent with the fact that the weight sum used by QFQ+ can
now be lower than the maximum possible value.

Pull driver core patches from Greg KH:
 "Here are some driver core patches for 3.11-rc2.  They aren't really
  bugfixes, but a bunch of new helper macros for drivers to properly
  create attribute groups, which drivers and subsystems need to fix up a
  ton of race issues with incorrectly creating sysfs files (binary and
  normal) after userspace has been told that the device is present.

  Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups,
  to solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this,
  so that's my fault the drivers were broken.

  The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a
  bit.  It affects no existing code, but allows the large backlog of 70+
  patches that I already have created to start flowing into the
  different subtrees, instead of having to live in my driver-core tree,
  causing merge nightmares in linux-next for the next few months.

  These were finalized too late for the -rc1 merge window, which is why
  they were didn't make that pull request, testing and review from
  others didn't happen until a few weeks ago, and then there's the whole
  distraction of the past few days, which prevented these from getting

Pull phase two of __cpuinit removal from Paul Gortmaker:
 "With the __cpuinit infrastructure removed earlier, this group of

  trivial updates.

Xiao Guangrong 1c118b8226 KVM: MMU: avoid fast page fault fixing mmio page fault
Currently, fast page fault incorrectly tries to fix mmio page fault when
the generation number is invalid (spte.gen != kvm.gen).  It then returns
to guest to retry the fault since it sees the last spte is nonpresent.
This causes an infinite loop.

Since fast page fault only works for direct mmu, the issue exists when
1) tdp is enabled. It is only triggered only on AMD host since on Intel host
   the mmio page fault is recognized as ept-misconfig whose handler call
   fault-page path with error_code = 0

2) guest paging is disabled. Under this case, the issue is hardly discovered
   since paging disable is short-lived and the sptes will be invalid after
   memslot changed for 150 times

Fix it by filtering out MMIO page faults in page_fault_can_be_fast.

NeilBrown 30bc9b5387 md/raid1: fix bio handling problems in process_checks()
Recent change to use bio_copy_data() in raid1 when repairing
an array is faulty.

The underlying may have changed the bio in various ways using
bio_advance and these need to be undone not just for the 'sbio' which
is being copied to, but also the 'pbio' (primary) which is being
copied from.

So perform the reset on all bios that were read from and do it early.

This also ensure that the sbio->bi_io_vec[j].bv_len passed to
memcmp is correct.

This fixes a crash during a 'check' of a RAID1 array.  The crash was
introduced in 3.10 so this is suitable for 3.10-stable.

commit 7ceb17e87b
    md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array.

allowed a bit more than just that.  It also allows devices to be added
to a read-write array and to end up skipping recovery.

This patch removes the offending piece of code pending a rewrite for a
subsequent release.

More specifically:
 If the array has a bitmap, then the device will still need a bitmap
 based resync ('saved_raid_disk' is set under different conditions
 is a bitmap is present).
 If the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this is correct as long as
 nothing has been written to the array since the metadata was checked
 by ->validate_super.  However there is no locking to ensure that there
 was no write.

Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption so
patch is suitable for 3.10-stable.

NeilBrown 7bb23c4934 md/raid10: fix two problems with RAID10 resync.
1/ When an different between blocks is found, data is copied from
   one bio to the other.  However bv_len is used as the length to
   copy and this could be zero.  So use r10_bio->sectors to calculate
   length instead.
   Using bv_len was probably always a bit dubious, but the introduction
   of bio_advance made it much more likely to be a problem.

2/ When preparing some blocks for sync, we don't set BIO_UPTODATE
   except on bios that we schedule for a read.  This ensures that
   missing/failed devices don't confuse the loop at the top of
   sync_request write.
   Commit 8be185f2c9 "raid10: Use bio_reset()"
   removed a loop which set BIO_UPTDATE on all appropriate bios.
   So we need to re-add that flag.

These bugs were introduced in 3.10, so this patch is suitable for
3.10-stable, and can remove a potential for data corruption.

Aaron Lu efaa14c7e9 ACPI / video: no automatic brightness changes by win8-compatible firmware
Starting from win8, MS backlight control driver will set bit 2 of the
parameter of control method _DOS, to inform firmware it should not
perform any automatic brightness changes. This mostly affects hotkey
notification deliver - if we do not set this bit, on hotkey press,
firmware may choose to adjust brightness level instead of sending out
notification and doing nothing.

So this patch sets bit 2 when calling _DOS so that GUIs can show the
notification window on hotkey press.  This behavior change is only
necessary for win8 systems.

The MS document on win8 backlight control is here:
