      fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode · 85fe4025
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      
Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

      IB/mlx4: Add VLAN support for IBoE · 4c3eb3ca
      Eli Cohen authored 
      
This patch allows IBoE traffic to be encapsulated in 802.1Q tagged
VLAN frames.  The VLAN tag is encoded in the GID and derived from it
by a simple computation.

The netdev notifier callback is modified to catch VLAN device
addition/removal and the port's GID table is updated to reflect the
change, so that for each netdevice there is an entry in the GID table.
When the port's GID table is exhausted, GID entries will not be added.
Only children of the main interfaces can add to the GID table; if a
VLAN interface is added on another VLAN interface (e.g. "vconfig add
eth2.6 8"), then that interfaces will not add an entry to the GID
table.

      IB/core: Add VLAN support for IBoE · af7bd463
      Eli Cohen authored 
      
Add 802.1q VLAN support to IBoE. The VLAN tag is encoded within the
GID derived from a link local address in the following way:

    GID[11] GID[12] contain the VLAN ID when the GID contains a VLAN.

The 3 bits user priority field of the packets are identical to the 3
bits of the SL.

In case of rdma_cm apps, the TOS field is used to generate the SL
field by doing a shift right of 5 bits effectively taking to 3 MS bits
of the TOS field.

      IB/mlx4: Add support for IBoE · fa417f7b
      Eli Cohen authored 
      
Add support for IBoE to mlx4_ib.  The bulk of the code is handling the
new address vector fields; mlx4 needs the MAC address of a remote node
to include it in a WQE (for datagrams) or in the QP context (for
connected QPs).  Address resolution is done by assuming all unicast
GIDs are either link-local IPv6 addresses.

Multicast group attach/detach needs to update the NIC's multicast
filters; but since attaching a QP to a multicast group can be done
before the QP is bound to a port, for IBoE we need to keep track of
all multicast groups that a QP is attached too before it transitions
from INIT to RTR (since it does not have a port in the INIT state).

      IB/mlx4: Signal node desc changes to SM by using FW to generate trap 144 · d0d68b86
      Jack Morgenstein authored 
      
The Node Description cannot be changed via MADs (it is read-only).
Until now, it was changed in the driver via sysfs, and the new Node
Description was simply inserted by the driver into MAD responses
(replacing the description returned by FW).

System startup scripts use the sysfs interface to change the node
description at driver startup to show the hostname, etc. However, this
has a race condition: the SM could discover the original FW node
description rather than the system-specific description if it queried the
port before the startup scripts finish running.

For mlx4, we fix this with a new FW command (SET_NODE) that allows
passing the new node description to FW.  When this command is invoked,
FW sends a trap 144 to the SM.  When it gets this trap, the SM can
query the node to obtain the new node description -- thus eliminating
the effects of the race.

This patch simply calls SET_NODE command when a new node description
is entered via sysfs (thus causing trap 144 to be issued by the FW).
We ignore all failures of the SET_NODE command (including those caused
by using a device FW that predates the SET_NODE command), since in
that case things work just as before.

      RDMA/ucma: Allow tuning the max listen backlog · 97cb7e40
      Steve Wise authored 
      
For iWARP connections, the connect request is carried in a TCP payload
on an already established TCP connection.  So if the ucma's backlog is
full, the connection request is transmitted and acked at the TCP level
by the time the connect request gets dropped in the ucma.  The end
result is the connection gets rejected by the iWARP provider.
Further, a 32 node 256NP OpenMPI job will generate > 128 connect
requests on some ranks.

This patch increases the default max backlog to 1024, and adds a
sysctl variable so the backlog can be adjusted at run time.

      llseek: automatically add .llseek fop · 6038f373
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

      net: percpu net_device refcount · 29b4433d
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      
We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in
network stack, using RCU conversions.

There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we
create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some
app servers, mmap af_packet)

We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu
infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes
per device.

On x86, dev_hold(dev) code :

before
        lock    incl 0x280(%ebx)
after:
        movl    0x260(%ebx),%eax
        incl    fs:(%eax)
