iwlwifi: mvm: rs: fix BT Coex check to look at the correct ant

The check to avoid the shared antenna was passed the wrong
antenna parameter. It should have checked whether the antenna of
the next column we're considering is allowed and instead it was
passed the current antenna.
This could lead to a wrong choice of the next column in the rs

iwlwifi: mvm: rs: better match tx response rate to the LQ table

Currently rs uses the info in mac80211 tx status which is
a translation of the actual rate coming up from the FW in
the tx response. This is matched up against the LQ table first
rate to make sure this tx frame used the current LQ table.
Instead of using the translated mac80211 info it's easier and
cleaner to just pass the actual tx response rate in the driver
private data and use that for matching.
This becomes even more important once the FW begins to
decide on its own whether to use STBC/BFER/SISO.

  md: When RAID5 is dirty, force reconstruct-write instead of read-modify-write.

Causes an RCW cycle to be forced even when the array is degraded.
A degraded array cannot support RCW as that requires reading all data
blocks, and one may be missing.

Forcing an RCW when it is not possible causes a live-lock and the code
spins, repeatedly deciding to do something that cannot succeed.

So change the condition to only force RCW on non-degraded arrays.

9 years agoscripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7
Pantelis Koukousoulas [Tue, 17 Feb 2015 21:47:35 +0000 (13:47 -0800)] 
scripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7

I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled
against python 3.3) but there were several errors.

I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I
tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod).

Main issues that needed to be resolved:

  * In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is
    __next__() instead (so let's just add both).

  * In older python versions there was an implicit conversion
    in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format())
    where it was converting the object to str first and then
    calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so
    we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which
    we need to keep this behavior.

  * In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object
    which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string
    methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in
    python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview
    and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3.

This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python
3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a
reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version
checks etc).

The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions.  To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.

Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we

eventfd: don't take the spinlock in eventfd_poll

The spinlock in eventfd_poll is trying to protect the count of events so
it can decide if it should return POLLIN, POLLERR, or POLLOUT.  But,
because of the way we drop the lock after calling poll_wait, and drop it
again before returning, we have the same pile of races with the lock as
we do with a single read of ctx->count().

This replaces the lock with a read barrier and single read.

eventfd_write does a single bump of ctx->count, so this should not add
new races with adding events.  eventfd_read is similar, it will do a
single decrement with the lock held, and so we're making the race with
concurrent readers slightly larger.

This spinlock is the top CPU user in kernel code during one of our
workloads.  Removing it gives us a ~2% boost.

9 years agovmcore: fix PT_NOTE n_namesz, n_descsz overflow issue
WANG Chao [Tue, 17 Feb 2015 21:46:01 +0000 (13:46 -0800)] 
vmcore: fix PT_NOTE n_namesz, n_descsz overflow issue

When updating PT_NOTE header size (ie.  p_memsz), an overflow issue
happens with the following bogus note entry:

  n_namesz = 0xFFFFFFFF
  n_descsz = 0x0
  n_type   = 0x0

This kind of note entry should be dropped during updating p_memsz.  But
because n_namesz is 32bit, after (n_namesz + 3) & (~3), it's overflow to
0x0, the note entry size looks sane and reserved.

When userspace (eg.  crash utility) is trying to access such bogus note,
it could lead to an unexpected behavior (eg.  crash utility segment fault
because it's reading bogus address).

The source of bogus note hasn't been identified yet.  At least we could
drop the bogus note so user space wouldn't be surprised.

kexec: add bit definitions for kimage entry flags

Define new kexec preprocessor macros IND_*_BIT that define the bit
position of the kimage entry flags.  Change the existing IND_* flag macros
to be defined as bit shifts of the corresponding IND_*_BIT macros.  Also
wrap all C language code in kexec.h with #if !defined(__ASSEMBLY__) so
assembly files can include kexec.h to get the IND_* and IND_*_BIT macros.

Some CPU instruction sets have tests for bit position which are convenient
in implementing routines that operate on the kimage entry list.  The
addition of these bit position macros in a common location will avoid
duplicate definitions and the chance that changes to the IND_* flags will
not be propagated to assembly files.
