When looking for something else in LKFT reports [1], I noticed that the
TC selftest ended with a timeout error:
not ok 1 selftests: tc-testing: tdc.sh # TIMEOUT 45 seconds
I also noticed most of the tests were skipped because the "teardown
stage" did not complete successfully. It was due to missing kconfig.
These patches fix these two errors plus an extra one because this
selftest reads info from "/proc/net/nf_conntrack". Thank you Pedro for
having helped me fixing these issues [2].

I observed poor performance of io_uring compared to synchronous IO. That
turns out to be caused by deeper CPU idle states entered with io_uring,
due to io_uring using plain schedule(), whereas synchronous IO uses
io_schedule().
The losses due to this are substantial. On my cascade lake workstation,
t/io_uring from the fio repository e.g. yields regressions between 20%
and 40% with the following command:
./t/io_uring -r 5 -X0 -d 1 -s 1 -c 1 -p 0 -S$use_sync -R 0 /mnt/t2/fio/write.0.0
This is repeatable with different filesystems, using raw block devices
and using different block devices.
Use io_schedule_prepare() / io_schedule_finish() in
io_cqring_wait_schedule() to address the difference.
After that using io_uring is on par or surpassing synchronous IO (using
registered files etc makes it reliably win, but arguably is a less fair
comparison).
There are other calls to schedule() in io_uring/, but none immediately
jump out to be similarly situated, so I did not touch them. Similarly,
it's possible that mutex_lock_io() should be used, but it's not clear if
there are cases where that matters.

2.40.1
After commit 0e96ea5c3eb5904e5dc2f ("MIPS: Loongson64: Clean up use of
cc-ifversion") we get a build error when make modules_install:
cc1: error: '-mloongson-mmi' must be used with '-mhard-float'
The reason is when make modules_install, 'call cc-option' doesn't work
in $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) of 'CHECKFLAGS'. Then there is no -mno-loongson-mmi
applied and -march=loongson3a enable MMI instructions.
To be detail, the error message comes from the CHECKFLAGS invocation of
$(CC) but it has no impact on the final result of make modules_install,
it is purely a cosmetic issue. The error occurs because cc-option is
defined in scripts/Makefile.compiler, which is not included in Makefile
when running 'make modules_install', as install targets are not supposed
to require the compiler; see commit 805b2e1d427aab4b ("kbuild: include
Makefile.compiler only when compiler is needed"). As a result, the call
to check for '-mno-loongson-mmi' just never happens.
Fix this by partially reverting to the old logic, use 'call cc-option'
to conditionally apply -march=loongson3a and -march=mips64r2.
By the way, Loongson-2E/2F is also broken in commit 13ceb48bc19c563e05f4
("MIPS: Loongson2ef: Remove unnecessary {as,cc}-option calls") so fix it
together.
