The qdisc_stab_lock is used in qdisc_get_stab and qdisc_put_stab.
These two functions are invoked in qdisc_create, qdisc_change, and
qdisc_destroy which run fully under RTNL.
So it already makes sure only one could access the qdisc_stab_list at
the same time. Then it is unnecessary to use qdisc_stab_lock now.

Change module filename from af-rxrpc.ko to rxrpc.ko so as to be consistent
with the other protocol drivers.
Also adjust the documentation to reflect this.
Further, there is no longer a standalone rxkad module, as it has been
merged into the rxrpc core, so get rid of references to that.

When allocating rtnl dump messages, struct ifla_port_vsi is never dumped,
so we can save header plus payload in rtnl_port_size(). Infact, attribute
IFLA_PORT_VSI_TYPE and struct ifla_port_vsi are not used anywhere in
the kernel. We only need to keep the nla policy should applications in
user space be filling this out. Same NLA_BINARY issue exists as was fixed
in 364d5716a7ad ("rtnetlink: ifla_vf_policy: fix misuses of NLA_BINARY")
and others, but then again IFLA_PORT_VSI_TYPE is not used anywhere, so
just add a comment that it's unused.

Long standing issue with JITed programs is that stack traces from
function tracing check whether a given address is kernel code
through {__,}kernel_text_address(), which checks for code in core
kernel, modules and dynamically allocated ftrace trampolines. But
what is still missing is BPF JITed programs (interpreted programs
are not an issue as __bpf_prog_run() will be attributed to them),
thus when a stack trace is triggered, the code walking the stack
won't see any of the JITed ones. The same for address correlation
done from user space via reading /proc/kallsyms. This is read by
tools like perf, but the latter is also useful for permanent live
tracing with eBPF itself in combination with stack maps when other
eBPF types are part of the callchain. See offwaketime example on
dumping stack from a map.
This work tries to tackle that issue by making the addresses and
symbols known to the kernel. The lookup from *kernel_text_address()
is implemented through a latched RB tree that can be read under
RCU in fast-path that is also shared for symbol/size/offset lookup
for a specific given address in kallsyms. The slow-path iteration
through all symbols in the seq file done via RCU list, which holds
a tiny fraction of all exported ksyms, usually below 0.1 percent.
Function symbols are exported as bpf_prog_<tag>, in order to aide
debugging and attribution. This facility is currently enabled for
root-only when bpf_jit_kallsyms is set to 1, and disabled if hardening
is active in any mode. The rationale behind this is that still a lot
of systems ship with world read permissions on kallsyms thus addresses
should not get suddenly exposed for them. If that situation gets
much better in future, we always have the option to change the
default on this. Likewise, unprivileged programs are not allowed
to add entries there either, but that is less of a concern as most
such programs types relevant in this context are for root-only anyway.
If enabled, call graphs and stack traces will then show a correct
attribution; one example is illustrated below, where the trace is
now visible in tooling such as perf script --kallsyms=/proc/kallsyms
and friends.

All map types and prog types are registered to the BPF core through
bpf_register_map_type() and bpf_register_prog_type() during init and
remain unchanged thereafter. As by design we don't (and never will)
have any pluggable code that can register to that at any later point
in time, lets mark all the existing bpf_{map,prog}_type_list objects
in the tree as __ro_after_init, so they can be moved to read-only

This patch adds code that handles GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc failure on
insertion. As we cannot use vmalloc, we solve it by making our
hash table nested. That is, we allocate single pages at each level
and reach our desired table size by nesting them.
When a nested table is created, only a single page is allocated
at the top-level. Lower levels are allocated on demand during
insertion. Therefore for each insertion to succeed, only two
(non-consecutive) pages are needed.
After a nested table is created, a rehash will be scheduled in
order to switch to a vmalloced table as soon as possible. Also,
the rehash code will never rehash into a nested table. If we
detect a nested table during a rehash, the rehash will be aborted
and a new rehash will be scheduled.

There are two problems with the function tipc_sk_reinit. Firstly
it's doing a manual walk over an rhashtable. This is broken as
an rhashtable can be resized and if you manually walk over it
during a resize then you may miss entries.
Secondly it's missing memory barriers as previously the code used
spinlocks which provide the barriers implicitly.
This patch fixes both problems.

Currently there is no way of querying whether a filter is
offloaded to HW or not when using "both" policy (where none
of skip_sw or skip_hw flags are set by user-space).
Add two new flags, "in hw" and "not in hw" such that user
space can determine if a filter is actually offloaded to
hw or not. The "in hw" UAPI semantics was chosen so it's
similar to the "skip hw" flag logic.
If none of these two flags are set, this signals running
over older kernel.

All rx and rx netdev interrupts are handled by respectively
by mlx4_en_rx_irq() and mlx4_en_tx_irq() which simply schedule a NAPI.
But mlx4_eq_int() also fires a tasklet to service all items that were
queued via mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet(), but this handler was not called
unless user cqe was handled.
This is very confusing, as "mpstat -I SCPU ..." show huge number of
tasklet invocations.
This patch saves this overhead, by carefully firing the tasklet directly
from mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet(), removing four atomic operations per IRQ.

This patch makes it so that we don't need to bother with clearing the
memory out for the descriptor rings. The general idea is to only free
buffers associated with buffers in use which are located between the
next_to_clean and next_to_use or next_to_alloc values. Everything outside
of those regions can be safely ignored since they should have no buffers
associated with them.
The advantage to doing things this way is that is should speed up bring-up
and tear-down of the rings. Specifically we can avoid the 512 or more
cycles required to memset the rings in tear-down. In the bring-up phase we
then clear the memory as a part of initialization. The general idea is
that the clearing in initialization can act as a prefetch of sorts for the
buffer info structures so they are in the local CPU when we go to populate
them. This should help to improve overall time needed to perform a
suspend/resume.

This patch adds build_skb support to the Rx path. There are several
advantages to this change.
1. It avoids the memcpy and skb->head allocation for small packets which
improves performance by about 5% in my tests.
2. It avoids the memcpy, skb->head allocation, and eth_get_headlen
for larger packets improving performance by about 10% in my tests.
3. For VXLAN packets it allows the full header to be in skb->data which
improves the performance by as much as 30% in some of my tests.

Since there are potential drawbacks to the new Rx allocation approach I
thought it best to add a "chicken bit" so that we can turn the feature off
if in the event that a problem is found.
It also provides a means of validating the legacy Rx path in the event that
we are forced to fall back. At some point in the future when we are
convinced we don't need it anymore we might be able to drop the legacy-rx
flag.

This change makes it so that we use the length of the packet instead of the
DD status bit to determine if a new descriptor is ready to be processed.
The obvious advantage is that it cuts down on reads as we don't really even
need the DD bit if going from a 0 to a non-zero value on size is enough to
inform us that the packet has been completed.

In order to support build_skb with jumbo frames it will be necessary to use
3K buffers for the Rx path with 8K pages backing them. This is needed on
architectures that implement 4K pages because we can't support 2K buffers
plus padding in a 4K page.
In the case of systems that support page sizes larger than 4K the 3K
attribute will only be applied to FCoE as we can fall back to using just 2K
buffers and adding the padding.

Batch the page count updates instead of doing them one at a time. By doing
this we can improve the overall performance as the atomic increment
operations can be expensive due to the fact that on x86 they are locked
operations which can cause stalls. By doing bulk updates we can
consolidate the stall which should help to improve the overall receive
performance.

This patch adds support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC and
DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING. By enabling both of these for the Rx path we are
able to see performance improvements on architectures that implement either
one due to the fact that page mapping and unmapping only has to sync what
is actually being used instead of the entire buffer. In addition by
enabling the weak ordering attribute enables a performance improvement for
architectures that can associate a memory ordering with a DMA buffer such

On some platforms, syncing a buffer for DMA is expensive. Rather than
sync the whole 2K receive buffer, only synchronise the length of the
frame, which will typically be the MTU, or a much smaller TCP ACK.

inline with what is already in igb. The general idea is to just
consolidate functions that represent logical steps in the Rx process so we
can later update them more easily.
