2014-09-01genirq: Simplify wakeup mechanismThomas Gleixner
Currently we suspend wakeup interrupts by lazy disabling them and check later whether the interrupt has fired, but that's not sufficient for suspend to idle as there is no way to check that once we transitioned into the CPU idle state. So we change the mechanism in the following way: 1) Leave the wakeup interrupts enabled across suspend 2) Add a check to irq_may_run() which is called at the beginning of each flow handler whether the interrupt is an armed wakeup source. This check is basically free as it just extends the existing check for IRQD_IRQ_INPROGRESS. So no new conditional in the hot path. If the IRQD_WAKEUP_ARMED flag is set, then the interrupt is disabled, marked as pending/suspended and the pm core is notified about the wakeup event.

2014-09-01PM / sleep: Mechanism for aborting system suspends unconditionallyRafael J. Wysocki
It sometimes may be necessary to abort a system suspend in progress or wake up the system from suspend-to-idle even if the pm_wakeup_event()/pm_stay_awake() mechanism is not enabled. For this purpose, introduce a new global variable pm_abort_suspend and make pm_wakeup_pending() check its value. Also add routines for manipulating that variable. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2014-08-29net: Allow GRO to use and set levels of checksum unnecessaryTom Herbert
Allow GRO path to "consume" checksums provided in CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY and to report new checksums verfied for use in fallback to normal path. Change GRO checksum path to track csum_level using a csum_cnt field in NAPI_GRO_CB. On GRO initialization, if ip_summed is CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum_cnt to skb->csum_level + 1. For each checksum verified, decrement NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum_cnt while its greater than zero. If a checksum is verfied and NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum_cnt == 0, we have verified a deeper checksum than originally indicated in skbuf so increment csum_level (or initialize to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY if ip_summed is CHECKSUM_NONE or CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).

This is used to express how many checksums are covered by CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY (stores n - 1). This replaces the overloading of skb->encapsulation, that field is is now only used to indicate inner headers are valid. - Change __skb_checksum_validate_needed to "consume" each checksum as indicated by csum_level as layers of the the packet are parsed. - Remove skb_pop_rcv_encapsulation, no longer needed in the new csum_level model.

2014-08-29gpio: change gpiochip_request_own_desc() prototypeAlexandre Courbot
The current prototype of gpiochip_request_own_desc() requires to obtain a pointer to a descriptor. This is in contradiction to all other GPIO request schemes, and imposes an extra step of obtaining a descriptor to drivers. Most drivers actually cannot even perform that step since the function that does it (gpichip_get_desc()) is gpiolib-private. Change gpiochip_request_own_desc() to return a descriptor from a (chip, hwnum) tuple and update users of this function (currently gpiolib-acpi only).

2014-08-28jbd2: fix descriptor block size handling errors with journal_csumDarrick J. Wong
It turns out that there are some serious problems with the on-disk format of journal checksum v2. The foremost is that the function to calculate descriptor tag size returns sizes that are too big. This causes alignment issues on some architectures and is compounded by the fact that some parts of jbd2 use the structure size (incorrectly) to determine the presence of a 64bit journal instead of checking the feature flags. Therefore, introduce journal checksum v3, which enlarges the descriptor block tag format to allow for full 32-bit checksums of journal blocks, fix the journal tag function to return the correct sizes, and fix the jbd2 recovery code to use feature flags to determine 64bitness. Add a few function helpers so we don't have to open-code quite so many pieces. Switching to a 16-byte block size was found to increase journal size overhead by a maximum of 0.1%, to convert a 32-bit journal with no checksumming to a 32-bit journal with checksum v3 enabled.

2014-08-28percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_tChristoph Lameter
__get_cpu_var can paper over differences in the definitions of cpumask_var_t and either use the address of the cpumask variable directly or perform a fetch of the address of the struct cpumask allocated elsewhere. This is important particularly when using per cpu cpumask_var_t declarations because in one case we have an offset into a per cpu area to handle and in the other case we need to fetch a pointer from the offset. This patch introduces a new macro this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr() that is defined where cpumask_var_t is defined and performs the proper actions. All use cases where __get_cpu_var is used with cpumask_var_t are converted to the use of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

2014-08-27net: dsa: reduce number of protocol hooksFlorian Fainelli
DSA is currently registering one packet_type function per EtherType it needs to intercept in the receive path of a DSA-enabled Ethernet device. Right now we have three of them: trailer, DSA and eDSA, and there might be more in the future, this will not scale to the addition of new protocols. This patch proceeds with adding a new layer of abstraction and two new functions: dsa_switch_rcv() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific receive function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c dsa_slave_xmit() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific transmit function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c When we do create the per-port slave network devices, we iterate over the switch protocol to assign the DSA-specific receive and transmit operations. A new fake ethertype value is used: ETH_P_XDSA to illustrate the fact that this is no longer going to look like ETH_P_DSA or ETH_P_TRAILER like it used to be. This allows us to greatly simplify the check in eth_type_trans() and always override the skb->protocol with ETH_P_XDSA for Ethernet switches tagged protocol, while also reducing the number repetitive slave netdevice_ops assignments.

TPC report element is contained in spectrum management's tpc report action frames and in radio measurement's link measurement report action frames. Add a function which checks whether an action frame contains this element. This may be needed by the drivers in order to set the correct tx power value in these frames.

2014-08-25net: Remove ndo_xmit_flush netdev operation, use signalling instead.David S. Miller
As reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer, for high packet rates the overhead of having another indirect call in the TX path is non-trivial. There is the indirect call itself, and then there is all of the reloading of the state to refetch the tail pointer value and then write the device register. Move to a more passive scheme, which requires very light modifications to the device drivers. The signal is a new skb->xmit_more value, if it is non-zero it means that more SKBs are pending to be transmitted on the same queue as the current SKB. And therefore, the driver may elide the tail pointer update. Right now skb->xmit_more is always zero. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
