67961f9db8 mm/hugetlb: fix huge page reserve accounting for private mappings
When creating a private mapping of a hugetlbfs file, it is possible to
unmap pages via ftruncate or fallocate hole punch.  If subsequent faults
repopulate these mappings, the reserve counts will go negative.  This is
because the code currently assumes all faults to private mappings will
consume reserves.  The problem can be recreated as follows:

 - mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) a file in hugetlbfs filesystem
 - write fault in pages in the mapping
 - fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) some pages in the mapping
 - write fault in pages in the hole

This will result in negative huge page reserve counts and negative
subpool usage counts for the hugetlbfs.  Note that this can also be
recreated with ftruncate, but fallocate is more straight forward.

This patch modifies the routines vma_needs_reserves and vma_has_reserves
to examine the reserve map associated with private mappings similar to
that for shared mappings.  However, the reserve map semantics for
private and shared mappings are very different.  This results in subtly
different code that is explained in the comments.

net: better lockdep annotations

Introduction of qdisc->running seqcount added lockdep false positives.

While chasing the bug, it came to me that we had a lot of copies of the
same stuff in virtual drivers.

This patch series has the qdisc->running fix (considers that a trylock
is attempted in lockdep terminology), and adds a generic helper so
that we no longer have to patch many virtual drivers when a new per-device
or per-qdisc lock is added.

Thanks to David Ahern for reporting the issue and testing my patches :)

  Instead of using write_seqcount_begin(), use a combination of
  raw_write_seqcount_begin() and correct lockdep annotation.

2) sch_direct_xmit() should use regular spin_lock(root_lock)

5362855aba netvsc: get rid of completion timeouts
I'm hitting 5 second timeout in rndis_filter_set_rss_param() while setting
RSS parameters for the device. When this happens we end up returning
-ETIMEDOUT from the function and rndis_filter_device_add() falls back to
setting

        net_device->max_chn = 1;
        net_device->num_chn = 1;
        net_device->num_sc_offered = 0;

but after a moment the rndis request succeeds and subchannels start to
appear. netvsc_sc_open() does unconditional nvscdev->num_sc_offered-- and
it becomes U32_MAX-1. Consequent rndis_filter_device_remove() will hang
while waiting for all U32_MAX-1 subchannels to appear and this is not
going to happen.

The immediate issue could be solved by adding num_sc_offered > 0 check to
netvsc_sc_open() but we're getting out of sync with the host and it's not
easy to adjust things later, e.g. in this particular case we'll be creating
queues without a user request for it and races are expected. Same applies
to other parts of the driver which have the same completion timeout.

Following the trend in drivers/hv/* code I suggest we remove all these
timeouts completely. As a guest we can always trust the host we're running
on and if the host screws things up there is no easy way to recover anyway.

When rtnl_fill_ifinfo() is called for a certain netdevice it queries its
various parameters such as switch id and physical port name. The
function might get called in an atomic context, which means the
underlying driver must not sleep during the query operation.

Don't query the device and sleep during ndo_get_phys_port_name(), but
instead store the needed parameters in port creation time.

be94535f95 mlxsw: spectrum: Make split flow match firmware requirements
When a port is created following a split / unsplit we need to map it to
the correct module and lane, enable it and then continue to initialize
its various parameters such as MTU and VLAN filters.

Under certain conditions, such as trying to split ports at the bottom
row of the front panel by four, we get firmware errors.

After evaluating this with the firmware team it was decided to alter the
split / unsplit flow, so that first all the affected ports are mapped,
then enabled and finally each is initialized separately.

Fix the split / unsplit flow by first mapping and enabling all the
affected ports. Newer firmware versions will support both flows.

5caa328e38 mac80211: implement codel on fair queuing flows
There is no other limit other than a global
packet count limit when using software queuing.
This means a single flow queue can grow insanely
long. This is particularly bad for TCP congestion
algorithms which requires a little more
sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere
headdrop on limit overflow.

Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs)
CoDel5 on flow queues. This improves TCP
convergence and stability when combined with
wireless driver which keeps its own tx queue/fifo
at a minimum fill level for given link conditions.

9399b86c0e mac80211: add debug knobs for fair queuing
This adds a debugfs entry to read and modify some fq parameters.

This makes it easy to debug, test and experiment.

fa962b9212 mac80211: implement fair queueing per txq
mac80211's software queues were designed to work
very closely with device tx queues. They are
required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation
easily and efficiently.

Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it
only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to
hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and
inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness.

This change doesn't translate directly to
immediate and significant gains. End result
depends on driver's induced latency. Best results
can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx
queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

80a83cfc43 mac80211: skip netdev queue control with software queuing
Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11
aggregation requirements and hand out
packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are
destined to the same tid. This does more bad than
good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave
on an ethernet interface.

Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue
congestion control whenever a global AC limit was
hit. This meant in practice a single station or
tid queue could starve others rather easily. This
could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could
just end up with poor aggregation performance.
Increasing the AC limit would increase induced
latency which is also bad.

Disabling qdiscs by default and performing
taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion
control on the other hand makes it possible for
tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while
preventing stations starving each other.

This increases aggregation opportunities and
should allow software queuing based drivers
achieve better performance by utilizing airtime
more efficiently with big aggregates.

0662799023 nl80211: clarify nl80211_set_reg() success path
Setting rd to NULL to avoid freeing it, just to be able to return
from the function in a single place, doesn't make much sense.

Return the set_regdom() return value directly.
