I don't think the code is quite ready, which is why I asked for Peter's additions to also be merged before I acked it (although it turned out that it still isn't quite ready with his additions either). Basically I have had similar observations to Suresh in that it does not play nicely with the rest of the balancing infrastructure (and raised similar concerns in my review). The samples (group of 4) I got for "maximum recorded imbalance" on a 2x2 SMP+HT Xeon are as follows: | Following boot | hackbench 20 | hackbench 40 -----------+----------------+---------------------+--------------------- 2.6.16-rc2 | 30,37,100,112 | 5600,5530,6020,6090 | 6390,7090,8760,8470 +nosmpnice | 3, 2, 4, 2 | 28, 150, 294, 132 | 348, 348, 294, 347 Hackbench raw performance is down around 15% with smpnice (but that in itself isn't a huge deal because it is just a benchmark). However, the samples show that the imbalance passed into move_tasks is increased by about a factor of 10-30. I think this would also go some way to explaining latency blips turning up in the balancing code (though I haven't actually measured that). We'll probably have to revert this in the SUSE kernel.

Bridge netfilter code needs to handle the case where device is removed from bridge while packet in process. In these cases the bridge_parent can become null while processing.

When a netlink message is not related to a netlink socket, it is issued by kernel socket with pid 0. Netlink "pid" has nothing to do with current->pid. I called it incorrectly, if it was named "port", the confusion would be avoided. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink. Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket, so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be, and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock of rtnetlink. Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional argument to netlink_attachskb(). A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases: 1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot wait for buffer space. 2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered to some recipients.

If you set network interface down and up again, the IPv6 address autoconfiguration does not work. 'ip addr' shows that the link-local address is in tentative state. We don't even react to periodical router advertisements. During NETDEV_DOWN we clear IF_READY, and we don't set it back in NETDEV_UP. While starting to perform DAD on the link-local address, we notice that the device is not in IF_READY, and we abort autoconfiguration process (which would eventually send router solicitations).

Patch from Tony Lindgren This patch adds the missing cache flushes to common low-level init that are needed to access the IO region.
