The breakage is caused by the change to use the CB area for flagging
whether a packet has been queued due to proxy_delay. This area gets
cleared every time arp_rcv gets called. Unfortunately packets delayed
due to proxy_delay also go through arp_rcv when they are reprocessed.
In fact, I can't think of a reason why delayed proxy packets should go
through netfilter again at all. So the easiest solution is to bypass
that and go straight to arp_process.
This is essentially what would've happened before netfilter support
was added to ARP.

[INET]: speedup inet (tcp/dccp) lookups
Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other
pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo)
(The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line,
so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs)
1) First some performance data :
--------------------------------
tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established()
The most time critical code is :
sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
}
The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
"struct sock" is prefetched.
As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
lines.
This can be problematic if some chains are very long.
2) The goal
-----------
The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
using one cache line per iteration.
3) Description of the patch
---------------------------
Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.
struct sock_common {
unsigned short skc_family;
volatile unsigned char skc_state;
unsigned char skc_reuse;
int skc_bound_dev_if;
struct hlist_node skc_node;
struct hlist_node skc_bind_node;
atomic_t skc_refcnt;
+ unsigned int skc_hash;
struct proto *skc_prot;
};
Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
line in case of a miss.
Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
(ehash_size - 1)
- Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in
__inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and
__dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the
list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);

I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit

Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back
by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.
In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit

[PATCH] sbp2: fix deadlocks and delays on device removal/rmmod
Fixes for deadlocks of the ieee1394 and scsi subsystems and long delays in
futile error recovery attempts when SBP-2 devices are removed or drivers are
unloaded.
- Complete commands quickly with DID_NO_CONNECT if the 1394 node is gone or if
the 1394 low-level driver was unloaded.
- Skip unnecessary work in the eh_abort_handler and eh_device_reset_handler if
the node or 1394 low-level driver is gone.
- Let scsi's high-level shut down gracefully when sbp2 is being unloaded or
detached from the 1394 unit. A call to scsi_remove_device is added for this
purpose, which requires us to store a scsi_device pointer.
- scsi_device pointer is obtained from slave_alloc hook and cleared by
slave_destroy. This avoids usage of the pointer after the scsi device was
deleted e.g. by the user via scsi_mod's sysfs interface.

This change removes a bogus error message from the IOC4 serial driver
interrupt handler.
This error message is bogus for two reasons. First, it can never occur
given that current code takes care to initialize IOC4 in such a way that
these "unknown" interrupts could never occur. Second, this code fails to
take into account that other drivers can share the IOC4 interrupt mechanism
through SA_SHIRQ, and thus this driver is not in-fact "all-knowing".
Finally, this error message triggers every time some "unknown" interrupt
occurs -- it's not rate limited or repetition limited in any way, thereby
effectively denying use of the console device. Given its bogosity in the
first place, it's best to just get rid of it entirely.

Check O_DIRECT and return -EINVAL error in open. dentry_open() also checks
this but only after the open method is called. This patch optimizes away
the unnecessary upcalls in this case.
It could be a correctness issue too: if filesystem has open() with side
effect, then it should fail before doing the open, not after.
Calling truncate() on hostfs spits a kernel warning "Something isn't
implemented here", but it still works fine.
Indeed, hostfs i_op->truncate doesn't do anything. But hostfs_setattr() ->
set_attr() correctly detects ATTR_SIZE and calls truncate() on the host. So
we should be safe (using ftruncate() may be better, in case the file is
unlinked on the host, but we aren't sure to have the file open for writing,
and reopening it would cause the same races; plus nobody should expect UML to
be so careful).
So, the warning is wrong, because the current implementation is working. Al,
am I correct, and can the warning be therefore dropped?

a) sysrq may be run when the scheduler is non-functioning
b) the warning I wanted to fix actually came from the fault handler run in
atomic context. But I fixed that not to take the semaphore in a separate
patch.
c) the fault handler is run because of a fault, and that fault was
unaffected by this patch.

[PATCH] uml: clear SKAS0/3 flags when running in TT mode
SEGV_MAYBE_FIXABLE tests ptrace_faultinfo, and depends on it being 1 only in
SKAS3 mode, while currently when running with mode=tt it will be 1 anyway.
Fix this, and do the same for proc_mm.
