      rcu: Introduce hlist_nulls variant of hlist · bbaffaca
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      hlist uses NULL value to finish a chain.

hlist_nulls variant use the low order bit set to 1 to signal an end-of-list marker.

This allows to store many different end markers, so that some RCU lockless
algos (used in TCP/UDP stack for example) can save some memory barriers in
fast paths.

Two new files are added :

include/linux/list_nulls.h
  - mimics hlist part of include/linux/list.h, derived to hlist_nulls variant

include/linux/rculist_nulls.h
  - mimics hlist part of include/linux/rculist.h, derived to hlist_nulls variant

   Only four helpers are declared for the moment :

     hlist_nulls_del_init_rcu(), hlist_nulls_del_rcu(),
     hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu() and hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu()

prefetches() were removed, since an end of list is not anymore NULL value.
prefetches() could trigger useless (and possibly dangerous) memory transactions.

Example of use (extracted from __udp4_lib_lookup())

	struct sock *sk, *result;
        struct hlist_nulls_node *node;
        unsigned short hnum = ntohs(dport);
        unsigned int hash = udp_hashfn(net, hnum);
        struct udp_hslot *hslot = &udptable->hash[hash];
        int score, badness;

        rcu_read_lock();
begin:
        result = NULL;
        badness = -1;
        sk_nulls_for_each_rcu(sk, node, &hslot->head) {
                score = compute_score(sk, net, saddr, hnum, sport,
                                      daddr, dport, dif);
                if (score > badness) {
                        result = sk;
                        badness = score;
                }
        }
        /*
         * if the nulls value we got at the end of this lookup is
         * not the expected one, we must restart lookup.
         * We probably met an item that was moved to another chain.
         */
        if (get_nulls_value(node) != hash)
                goto begin;

        if (result) {
                if (unlikely(!atomic_inc_not_zero(&result->sk_refcnt)))
                        result = NULL;
                else if (unlikely(compute_score(result, net, saddr, hnum, sport,
                                  daddr, dport, dif) < badness)) {
                        sock_put(result);
                        goto begin;
                }
        }
        rcu_read_unlock();
        return result;

      TPROXY: implemented IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR socket option · e8b2dfe9
      Balazs Scheidler authored 
      In case UDP traffic is redirected to a local UDP socket,
the originally addressed destination address/port
cannot be recovered with the in-kernel tproxy.

This patch adds an IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR sockopt that enables
a IP_ORIGDSTADDR ancillary message in recvmsg(). This
ancillary message contains the original destination address/port
of the packet being received.

The attached patch makes it work much better for me.  The patch
will cause the code to NOT create a stale neighbor entry if we
are not going to respond to the ARP request.  The old code
*would* create a stale entry even if we are not going to respond.

      phylib: make mdio-gpio work without OF (v4) · f004f3ea
      Paulius Zaleckas authored 
      make mdio-gpio work with non OpenFirmware gpio implementation.

Aditional changes to mdio-gpio:
- use gpio_request() and gpio_free()
- place irq[] array in struct mdio_gpio_info
- add module description, author and license
- add note about compiling this driver as module
- rename mdc and mdio function (were ugly names)
- change MII to MDIO in bus name
- add __init __exit to module (un)loading functions
- probe fails if no phys added to the bus
- kzalloc bitbang with sizeof(*bitbang)

Changes since v3:
- keep bus naming "%x" to be compatible with existing drivers.

Changes since v2:
- more #ifdefs reduction
- platform driver will be registered on OF platforms also
- unified platform and OF bus_id to phy%i

Changes since v1:
- removed NO_IRQ
- reduced #idefs

Laurent, please test this driver under OF.

      net: speedup dst_release() · ef711cf1
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      During tbench/oprofile sessions, I found that dst_release() was in third position.

CPU: Core 2, speed 2999.68 MHz (estimated)
Counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (Clock cycles when not halted) with a unit mask of 0x00 (Unhalted core cycles) count 100000
samples  %        symbol name
483726    9.0185  __copy_user_zeroing_intel
191466    3.5697  __copy_user_intel
185475    3.4580  dst_release
175114    3.2648  ip_queue_xmit
153447    2.8608  tcp_sendmsg
108775    2.0280  tcp_recvmsg
102659    1.9140  sysenter_past_esp
101450    1.8914  tcp_current_mss
95067     1.7724  __copy_from_user_ll
86531     1.6133  tcp_transmit_skb

Of course, all CPUS fight on the dst_entry associated with 127.0.0.1 

Instead of first checking the refcount value, then decrement it,
we use atomic_dec_return() to help CPU to make the right memory transaction
(ie getting the cache line in exclusive mode)

dst_release() is now at the fifth position, and tbench a litle bit faster ;)

      pkt_sched: Remove qdisc->ops->requeue() etc. · f30ab418
      Jarek Poplawski authored 
      After implementing qdisc->ops->peek() and changing sch_netem into
classless qdisc there are no more qdisc->ops->requeue() users. This
patch removes this method with its wrappers (qdisc_requeue()), and
also unused qdisc->requeue structure. There are a few minor fixes of
warnings (htb_enqueue()) and comments btw.

The idea to kill ->requeue() and a similar patch were first developed
by David S. Miller.

      isdn: use %pI4, remove get_{u8/u16/u32} and put_{u8/u16/u32} inlines · 00bcd522
      Harvey Harrison authored 
      They would have been better named as get_be16, put_be16, etc.
as they were hiding an endian shift inside.

They don't add much over explicitly coding the byteshifting
and gcc sometimes has a problem with builtin_constant_p inside
inline functions, so it may do a better job of byteswapping
at compile time rather than runtime.
