The default hop penalty is currently set to 15, which is applied like
that for multi interface devices (e.g. dual band APs). Single band
devices will still use an effective penalty of 30 (hop penalty + wifi
penalty).
After receiving reports of too long paths in mesh networks with dual
band APs which were fixed by increasing the hop penalty, we'd like to
suggest to increase that default value in the default setting as well.
We've evaluated that increase in a handful of medium sized mesh
networks (5-20 nodes) with single and dual band devices, with changes
for the better (shorter routes, higher throughput) or no change at all.
This patch changes the hop penalty to 30, which will give an effective
penalty of 60 on single band devices (hop penalty + wifi penalty).

batadv_frag_insert_packet was unable to handle out-of-order packets because it
dropped them directly. This is caused by the way the fragmentation lists is
checked for the correct place to insert a fragmentation entry.
The fragmentation code keeps the fragments in lists. The fragmentation entries
are kept in descending order of sequence number. The list is traversed and each
entry is compared with the new fragment. If the current entry has a smaller
sequence number than the new fragment then the new one has to be inserted
before the current entry. This ensures that the list is still in descending
order.
An out-of-order packet with a smaller sequence number than all entries in the
list still has to be added to the end of the list. The used hlist has no
information about the last entry in the list inside hlist_head and thus the
last entry has to be calculated differently. Currently the code assumes that
the iterator variable of hlist_for_each_entry can be used for this purpose
after the hlist_for_each_entry finished. This is obviously wrong because the
iterator variable is always NULL when the list was completely traversed.
Instead the information about the last entry has to be stored in a different
variable.
This problem was introduced in 610bfc6bc9

This commit is a guesswork, but it seems to make sense to drop this
break, as otherwise the following line is never executed and becomes
dead code. And that following line actually saves the result of
local calculation by the pointer given in function argument. So the
proposed change makes sense if this code in the whole makes sense (but I
am unable to analyze it in the whole).

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Christopher Alexander Tobias
Schulze.
In commit db64fe0225 ("mm: rewrite vmap
layer") lazy VMAP tlb flushing was added to the vmalloc layer. This
causes problems on sparc64.
Sparc64 has two VMAP mapped regions and they are not contiguous with
eachother. First we have the malloc mapping area, then another
unrelated region, then the vmalloc region.
This "another unrelated region" is where the firmware is mapped.
If the lazy TLB flushing logic in the vmalloc code triggers after
we've had both a module unload and a vfree or similar, it will pass an
address range that goes from somewhere inside the malloc region to
somewhere inside the vmalloc region, and thus covering the
openfirmware area entirely.
The sparc64 kernel learns about openfirmware's dynamic mappings in
this region early in the boot, and then services TLB misses in this
area. But openfirmware has some locked TLB entries which are not
mentioned in those dynamic mappings and we should thus not disturb
them.
These huge lazy TLB flush ranges causes those openfirmware locked TLB
entries to be removed, resulting in all kinds of problems including
hard hangs and crashes during reboot/reset.
Besides causing problems like this, such huge TLB flush ranges are
also incredibly inefficient. A plea has been made with the author of
the VMAP lazy TLB flushing code, but for now we'll put a safety guard
into our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation.
Since the implementation has become non-trivial, stop defining it as a
macro and instead make it a function in a C source file.

Fix detection of BREAK on sunsab serial console: BREAK detection was only
performed when there were also serial characters received simultaneously.
To handle all BREAKs correctly, the check for BREAK and the corresponding
call to uart_handle_break() must also be done if count == 0, therefore
duplicate this code fragment and pull it out of the loop over the received
characters.
Patch applies to 3.16-rc6.

The assumption was that update_mmu_cache() (and the equivalent for PMDs) would
only be called when the PTE being installed will be accessible by the user.
This is not true for code paths originating from remove_migration_pte().
There are dire consequences for placing a non-valid PTE into the TSB. The TLB
miss frramework assumes thatwhen a TSB entry matches we can just load it into
the TLB and return from the TLB miss trap.
So if a non-valid PTE is in there, we will deadlock taking the TLB miss over
and over, never satisfying the miss.
Just exit early from update_mmu_cache() and friends in this situation.
Based upon a report and patch from Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze.

Intel did some benchmarking on our network throughput when Linux on Hyper-V
is as used as a gateway. This fix gave us almost a 1 Gbps additional throughput
on about 5Gbps base throughput we hadi, prior to increasing the sendbuf size.
The sendbuf mechanism is a copy based transport that we have which is clearly
more optimal than the copy-free page flipping mechanism (for small packets).
In the forwarding scenario, we deal only with MTU sized packets,
and increasing the size of the senbuf area gave us the additional performance.
For what it is worth, Windows guests on Hyper-V, I am told use similar sendbuf
size as well.
The exact value of sendbuf I think is less important than the fact that it needs
to be larger than what Linux can allocate as physically contiguous memory.
Thus the change over to allocating via vmalloc().
We currently allocate 16MB receive buffer and we use vmalloc there for allocation.
Also the low level channel code has already been modified to deal with physically
dis-contiguous memory in the ringbuffer setup.
Based on experimentation Intel did, they say there was some improvement in throughput
as the sendbuf size was increased up to 16MB and there was no effect on throughput
beyond 16MB. Thus I have chosen 16MB here.
Increasing the sendbuf value makes a material difference in small packet handling
In this version of the patch, based on David's feedback, I have added
additional details in the commit log.

Pull tracing filter cleanups from Steven Rostedt:
"Oleg Nesterov did several clean ups with the tracing filter code. As
he found some small bugs that went into 3.16, and these changes were
based on that, I had to apply his changes to a separate branch than my
main development branch.
This was based on work that was already pulled into 3.16, and is a
separate pull request to keep from having local merges in my pull
request"
* tag 'trace-3.17-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Kill "filter_string" arg of replace_preds()
tracing: Change apply_subsystem_event_filter() paths to check file->system == dir
tracing: Kill ftrace_event_call->files
tracing/uprobes: Kill the dead TRACE_EVENT_FL_USE_CALL_FILTER logic
tracing: Kill call_filter_disable()
tracing: Kill destroy_call_preds()
tracing: Kill destroy_preds() and destroy_file_preds()
to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
the same function, the old way is still done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
and resume.
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

worked properly as it assumed the bad config was a subset of the good
config, and just found the config that would break the build.
The new way does a diff of the bad config verses the good config and makes
the similar until it finds that one config works and the other does not
and reports the config that makes that difference. The two configs do
not need to be related. It is much more useful now.
