Lennert Buytenhek 64da80a29c mv643xx_eth: allow multiple RX queues
Allow the platform code to specify that we are running on hardware
that is capable of supporting multiple RX queues.  If this option
is used, initialise all of the given RX queues instead of just RX
queue zero.

Fabian Hugelshofer 718d4ad98e netfilter: nf_conntrack: properly account terminating packets
Currently the last packet of a connection isn't accounted when its causing
abnormal termination.

Introduces nf_ct_kill_acct() which increments the accounting counters on
conntrack kill. The new function was necessary, because there are calls
to nf_ct_kill() which don't need accounting:

nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~847:
Kills ct and returns NF_REPEAT. We don't want to count twice.

nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880:
Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped
packets.

nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824:
As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a
conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think
this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not
desired.

James Morris 560ee653b6 netfilter: ip_tables: add iptables security table for mandatory access control rules
The following patch implements a new "security" table for iptables, so
that MAC (SELinux etc.) networking rules can be managed separately to
standard DAC rules.

This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based
network controls, per various previous discussions.

The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools
and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy
management.

The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle
table to prevent breakage of existing users.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 5adad01339 Input: rename SW_RADIO to SW_RFKILL_ALL
The SW_RADIO code for EV_SW events has a name that is not descriptive
enough of its intended function, and could induce someone to think
KEY_RADIO is its EV_KEY counterpart, which is false.

Rename it to SW_RFKILL_ALL, and document what this event is for.  Keep
the old name around, to avoid userspace ABI breaks.

The SW_RFKILL_ALL event is meant to be used by rfkill master switches.  It
is not bound to a particular radio switch type, and usually applies to all
types.  It is semantically tied to master rfkill switches that enable or
disable every radio in a system.

Rusty Russell b4f68be6c5 virtio: force callback on empty.
virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).

There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.

It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.

We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).

Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
the kernel entropy pool.

Included:
	virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio

	If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
	in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
	can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate
	random_data dynamically with kmalloc.

this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:

  $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
  "size=0k ovr=1.19
  2 1.11

  $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
  "size=0k ovr=1.22
  2 6.69

in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:

              wake-idle          wake-idle+newidle
 -------------------------------------------------
     1:             830              834    +0.43%

    16:           10745            10736    -0.08%
    32:           10150            10206    +0.55%
    64:            9240             9533    +3.08%
   128:            8252             8355    +1.24%
   256:            8144             8384    +2.87%
 -------------------------------------------------
   SUM:           57882            58591    +1.21%

as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.

sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.

Ilpo Järvinen b79eeeb9e4 tcp: Reorganize tcp_sock to fill 64-bit holes & improve locality
I tried to group recovery related fields nearby (non-CA_Open related
variables, to be more accurate) so that one to three cachelines would
not be necessary in CA_Open. These are now contiguously deployed:

  struct sk_buff_head        out_of_order_queue;   /*  1968    80 */
  /* --- cacheline 32 boundary (2048 bytes) --- */
  struct tcp_sack_block      duplicate_sack[1];    /*  2048     8 */
  struct tcp_sack_block      selective_acks[4];    /*  2056    32 */
  struct tcp_sack_block      recv_sack_cache[4];   /*  2088    32 */
  /* --- cacheline 33 boundary (2112 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
  struct sk_buff *           highest_sack;         /*  2120     8 */
  int                        lost_cnt_hint;        /*  2128     4 */
  int                        retransmit_cnt_hint;  /*  2132     4 */
  u32                        lost_retrans_low;     /*  2136     4 */
  u8                         reordering;           /*  2140     1 */
  u8                         keepalive_probes;     /*  2141     1 */

  /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

  u32                        prior_ssthresh;       /*  2144     4 */
  u32                        high_seq;             /*  2148     4 */
  u32                        retrans_stamp;        /*  2152     4 */
  u32                        undo_marker;          /*  2156     4 */
  int                        undo_retrans;         /*  2160     4 */
  u32                        total_retrans;        /*  2164     4 */

...and they're then followed by URG slowpath & keepalive related
variables.

Head of the out_of_order_queue always needed for empty checks, if
that's empty (and TCP is in CA_Open), following ~200 bytes (in 64-bit)
shouldn't be necessary for anything. If only OFO queue exists but TCP
is in CA_Open, selective_acks (and possibly duplicate_sack) are
necessary besides the out_of_order_queue but the rest of the block
again shouldn't be (ie., the other direction had losses).

As the cacheline boundaries depend on many factors in the preceeding
stuff, trying to align considering them doesn't make too much sense.

Commented one ordering hazard.

There are number of low utilized u8/16s that could be combined get 2
bytes less in total so that the hole could be made to vanish (includes
at least ecn_flags, urg_data, urg_mode, frto_counter, nonagle).

Ingo Molnar 6363ca57c7 revert ("sched: fair-group: SMP-nice for group scheduling")
Yanmin Zhang reported:

Comparing with 2.6.25, volanoMark has big regression with kernel 2.6.26-rc1.
It's about 50% on my 8-core stoakley, 16-core tigerton, and Itanium Montecito.

With bisect, I located the following patch:

| 18d95a2832 is first bad commit
| commit 18d95a2832
| Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
| Date:   Sat Apr 19 19:45:00 2008 +0200

|     sched: fair-group: SMP-nice for group scheduling

Revert it so that we get v2.6.25 behavior.
