x86/mm: Decouple from

2015-06-03T10:02:00Z

Nothing in uses anything from , so remove it from there and fix up the resulting build problems triggered on x86 {64|32}-bit {def|allmod|allno}configs. The breakages were triggering in places where x86 builds relied on vmalloc() facilities but did not include explicitly and relied on the implicit inclusion via . Also add: - to - to ... which were two other implicit header file dependencies.

2015-05-13T18:31:43Z

Four minor merge conflicts: 1) qca_spi.c renamed the local variable used for the SPI device from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call got moved further up in the probe function. 2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params structure, and thus we had overlapping changes to the initializer function. 3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is completely removed in 'net-next'. 4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations had the command value fixed, meanwhile 'net-next' adjusted the argument signature a bit. This also matches example merge resolutions posted by Stephen Rothwell over the past two days. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

hv_netvsc: Use the xmit_more skb flag to optimize signaling the host

2015-05-13T03:10:43Z

Based on the information given to this driver (via the xmit_more skb flag), we can defer signaling the host if more packets are on the way. This will help make the host more efficient since it can potentially process a larger batch of packets. Implement this optimization. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

hv_netvsc: Fix a bug in netvsc_start_xmit()

2015-04-29T19:20:39Z

Commit b08cc79155fc26d0d112b1470d1ece5034651a4b eliminated memory allocation in the packet send path: "hv_netvsc: Eliminate memory allocation in the packet send path The network protocol used to communicate with the host is the remote ndis (rndis) protocol. We need to decorate each outgoing packet with a rndis header and additional rndis state (rndis per-packet state). To manage this state, we currently allocate memory in the transmit path. Eliminate this allocation by requesting additional head room in the skb." This commit introduced a bug since it did not account for the case if the skb was cloned. Fix this bug. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

hv_netvsc: introduce netif-msg into netvsc module

2015-04-29T18:45:17Z

1. Introduce netif-msg to netvsc to control debug logging output and keep msg_enable in netvsc_device_context so that it is kept persistently. 2. Only call dump_rndis_message() when NETIF_MSG_RX_ERR or above is specified in netvsc module debug param. In non-debug mode, in current code, dump_rndis_message() will not dump anything but it still initialize some local variables and process the switch logic which is unnecessary, especially in high network throughput situation.
