John Fastabend 2df4a0fa15 net: fix conflict between null_or_orig and null_or_bond
If a skb is received on an inactive bond that does not meet
the special cases checked for by skb_bond_should_drop it should
only be delivered to exact matches as the comment in
netif_receive_skb() says.

However because null_or_bond could also be null this is not
always true.  This patch renames null_or_bond to orig_or_bond
and initializes it to orig_dev.  This keeps the intent of
null_or_bond to pass frames received on VLAN interfaces stacked
on bonding interfaces without invalidating the statement for
null_or_orig.

Eric Dumazet b1faf56664 net: sock_queue_err_skb() dont mess with sk_forward_alloc
Correct sk_forward_alloc handling for error_queue would need to use a
backlog of frames that softirq handler could not deliver because socket
is owned by user thread. Or extend backlog processing to be able to
process normal and error packets.

Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is
what I implemented in this patch.

Note: this reverts commit 29030374
(net: fix sk_forward_alloc corruptions), since we dont need to lock
socket anymore.

Eric Dumazet 2903037400 net: fix sk_forward_alloc corruptions
As David found out, sock_queue_err_skb() should be called with socket
lock hold, or we risk sk_forward_alloc corruption, since we use non
atomic operations to update this field.

This patch adds bh_lock_sock()/bh_unlock_sock() pair to three spots.
(BH already disabled)

1) skb_tstamp_tx() 
2) Before calling ip_icmp_error(), in __udp4_lib_err() 
3) Before calling ipv6_icmp_error(), in __udp6_lib_err()

The wrong size was being calculated for vfinfo.  In one case, it was over-
calculating using nlmsg_total_size on attrs, in another case, it was
under-calculating by assuming ifla_vf_* structs are packed together, but
each struct is it's own attr w/ hdr (and padding).

Eric Dumazet 8a74ad60a5 net: fix lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh
This new sock lock primitive was introduced to speedup some user context
socket manipulation. But it is unsafe to protect two threads, one using
regular lock_sock/release_sock, one using lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh

This patch changes lock_sock_bh to be careful against 'owned' state.
If owned is found to be set, we must take the slow path.
lock_sock_bh() now returns a boolean to say if the slow path was taken,
and this boolean is used at unlock_sock_bh time to call the appropriate
unlock function.

After this change, BH are either disabled or enabled during the
lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh protected section. This might be misleading,
so we rename these functions to lock_sock_fast()/unlock_sock_fast().

Herbert Xu f845172531 cls_cgroup: Store classid in struct sock
Up until now cls_cgroup has relied on fetching the classid out of
the current executing thread.  This runs into trouble when a packet
processing is delayed in which case it may execute out of another
thread's context.

Furthermore, even when a packet is not delayed we may fail to
classify it if soft IRQs have been disabled, because this scenario
is indistinguishable from one where a packet unrelated to the
current thread is processed by a real soft IRQ.

In fact, the current semantics is inherently broken, as a single
skb may be constructed out of the writes of two different tasks.
A different manifestation of this problem is when the TCP stack
transmits in response of an incoming ACK.  This is currently
unclassified.

As we already have a concept of packet ownership for accounting
purposes in the skb->sk pointer, this is a natural place to store
the classid in a persistent manner.

This patch adds the cls_cgroup classid in struct sock, filling up
an existing hole on 64-bit :)

The value is set at socket creation time.  So all sockets created
via socket(2) automatically gains the ID of the thread creating it.
Whenever another process touches the socket by either reading or
writing to it, we will change the socket classid to that of the
process if it has a valid (non-zero) classid.

For sockets created on inbound connections through accept(2), we
inherit the classid of the original listening socket through
sk_clone, possibly preceding the actual accept(2) call.

In order to minimise risks, I have not made this the authoritative
classid.  For now it is only used as a backup when we execute
with soft IRQs disabled.  Once we're completely happy with its
semantics we can use it as the sole classid.

Footnote: I have rearranged the error path on cls_group module
creation.  If we didn't do this, then there is a window where
someone could create a tc rule using cls_group before the cgroup
subsystem has been registered.

    net: device name allocation cleanups

to rename a device with eth%d. This bug is very hard to reproduce
and appears rarely.

The problem is coming from we don't pass a temporary buffer to
__dev_alloc_name but 'dev->name' which is modified by the function.

David Howells 253683bbfb rtnetlink: Fix error handling in do_setlink()
Commit c02db8c6290bb992442fec1407643c94cc414375:

	Author:  Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
	Date:    Sun May 16 01:05:45 2010 -0700
	Subject: rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric

adds broken error handling to do_setlink() in net/core/rtnetlink.c.  The
problem is the following chunk of code:

	if (tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST]) {
		struct nlattr *attr;
		int rem;
		nla_for_each_nested(attr, tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST], rem) {
			if (nla_type(attr) != IFLA_VF_INFO)
  ---->				goto errout;
			err = do_setvfinfo(dev, attr);
			if (err < 0)
				goto errout;
			modified = 1;
		}
	}

which can get to errout without setting err, resulting in the following error:

net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function 'do_setlink':
net/core/rtnetlink.c:904: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function

Change the code to return -EINVAL in this case.  Note that this might not be
the appropriate error though.

Eric W. Biederman a1b3f594dc net: Expose all network devices in a namespaces in sysfs
This reverts commit aaf8cdc34d.

Drivers like the ipw2100 call device_create_group when they
are initialized and device_remove_group when they are shutdown.
Moving them between namespaces deletes their sysfs groups early.

In particular the following call chain results.
netdev_unregister_kobject -> device_del -> kobject_del -> sysfs_remove_dir
With sysfs_remove_dir recursively deleting all of it's subdirectories,
and nothing adding them back.

Ouch!

Therefore we need to call something that ultimate calls sysfs_mv_dir
as that sysfs function can move sysfs directories between namespaces
without deleting their subdirectories or their contents.   Allowing
us to avoid placing extra boiler plate into every driver that does
something interesting with sysfs.

Currently the function that provides that capability is device_rename.
That is the code works without nasty side effects as originally written.

So remove the misguided fix for moving devices between namespaces.  The
bug in the kobject layer that inspired it has now been recognized and
fixed.

Eric W. Biederman d6523ddf23 net/sysfs: Fix the bitrot in network device kobject namespace support
I had a couple of stupid bugs in:
netns: Teach network device kobjects which namespace they are in.

- I duplicated the Kconfig for the NET_NS
- The build was broken when sysfs was not compiled in

The sysfs breakage is because after I moved the operations
for the sysfs to the kobject layer, to make things cleaner
I forgot to move the ifdefs.  Opps.

I'm not quite certain how I got introduced a second NET_NS Kconfig,
but it was probably a 3 way merge somewhere along the way that
did not notice that the NET_NS Kconfig option had mvoed and thout
that was a bug.  It probably slipped in because it used to be the
sysfs patches were the first patches in my network namespace patches.
Some things just don't go like you would expect.

Neither of these bugs actually affect anything in the common case
but they should be fixed.

Thanks to Serge for noticing they were present.

Eric W. Biederman 608b4b9548 netns: Teach network device kobjects which namespace they are in.
The problem.  Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network
namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in
the same directory, ouch!

To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network namespaces
to see the same interface that is currently presented in sysfs, this
patch enables the tagging directory support in sysfs.

By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the
the sysfs directory entries we ensure that we don't have conflicts
in the directories and applications only see a limited set of
the network devices.

Tom Herbert 76cc8b13a6 net: fix problem in dequeuing from input_pkt_queue
Fix some issues introduced in batch skb dequeuing for input_pkt_queue.
The primary issue it that the queue head must be incremented only
after a packet has been processed, that is only after
__netif_receive_skb has been called.  This is needed for the mechanism
to prevent OOO packet in RFS.  Also when flushing the input_pkt_queue
and process_queue, the process queue should be done first to prevent
OOO packets.

Because the input_pkt_queue has been effectively split into two queues,
the calculation of the tail ptr is no longer correct.  The correct value
would be head+input_pkt_queue->len+process_queue->len.  To avoid
this calculation we added an explict input_queue_tail in softnet_data.
The tail value is simply incremented when queuing to input_pkt_queue.

Scott Feldman 57b610805c net: Add netlink support for virtual port management (was iovnl)
Add new netdev ops ndo_{set|get}_vf_port to allow setting of
port-profile on a netdev interface.  Extends netlink socket RTM_SETLINK/
RTM_GETLINK with two new sub msgs called IFLA_VF_PORTS and IFLA_PORT_SELF
(added to end of IFLA_cmd list).  These are both nested atrtibutes
using this layout:

              [IFLA_NUM_VF]
              [IFLA_VF_PORTS]
                      [IFLA_VF_PORT]
                              [IFLA_PORT_*], ...
                      [IFLA_VF_PORT]
                              [IFLA_PORT_*], ...
                      ...
              [IFLA_PORT_SELF]
                      [IFLA_PORT_*], ...

These attributes are design to be set and get symmetrically.  VF_PORTS
is a list of VF_PORTs, one for each VF, when dealing with an SR-IOV
device.  PORT_SELF is for the PF of the SR-IOV device, in case it wants
to also have a port-profile, or for the case where the VF==PF, like in
enic patch 2/2 of this patch set.

A port-profile is used to configure/enable the external switch virtual port
backing the netdev interface, not to configure the host-facing side of the
netdev.  A port-profile is an identifier known to the switch.  How port-
profiles are installed on the switch or how available port-profiles are
made know to the host is outside the scope of this patch.

There are two types of port-profiles specs in the netlink msg.  The first spec
is for 802.1Qbg (pre-)standard, VDP protocol.  The second spec is for devices
that run a similar protocol as VDP but in firmware, thus hiding the protocol
details.  In either case, the specs have much in common and makes sense to
define the netlink msg as the union of the two specs.  For example, both specs
have a notition of associating/deassociating a port-profile.  And both specs
require some information from the hypervisor manager, such as client port
instance ID.

The general flow is the port-profile is applied to a host netdev interface
using RTM_SETLINK, the receiver of the RTM_SETLINK msg communicates with the
switch, and the switch virtual port backing the host netdev interface is
configured/enabled based on the settings defined by the port-profile.  What
those settings comprise, and how those settings are managed is again
outside the scope of this patch, since this patch only deals with the
first step in the flow.

skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but

New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb.
(with lockdep check)

skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted.

skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb
is queued and not anymore RCU protected.

Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if
!IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in
sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue().

If CONFIG_SMP=y, then we own a queue spinlock, we can avoid the atomic
test_and_set_bit() from napi_schedule_prep().

We now have same number of atomic ops per netif_rx() calls than with
pre-RPS kernel.

Chris Wright c02db8c629 rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric
Now we have a set of nested attributes:

  IFLA_VFINFO_LIST (NESTED)
    IFLA_VF_INFO (NESTED)
      IFLA_VF_MAC
      IFLA_VF_VLAN
      IFLA_VF_TX_RATE

This allows a single set to operate on multiple attributes if desired.
Among other things, it means a dump can be replayed to set state.

The current interface has yet to be released, so this seems like
something to consider for 2.6.34.

Eric Dumazet a465419b1f net: Introduce sk_route_nocaps
TCP-MD5 sessions have intermittent failures, when route cache is
invalidated. ip_queue_xmit() has to find a new route, calls
sk_setup_caps(sk, &rt->u.dst), destroying the 

sk->sk_route_caps &= ~NETIF_F_GSO_MASK

that MD5 desperately try to make all over its way (from
tcp_transmit_skb() for example)

So we send few bad packets, and everything is fine when
tcp_transmit_skb() is called again for this socket.

Since ip_queue_xmit() is at a lower level than TCP-MD5, I chose to use a
socket field, sk_route_nocaps, containing bits to mask on sk_route_caps.

Eric Dumazet 3b098e2d7c net: Consistent skb timestamping
With RPS inclusion, skb timestamping is not consistent in RX path.

If netif_receive_skb() is used, its deferred after RPS dispatch.

If netif_rx() is used, its done before RPS dispatch.

This can give strange tcpdump timestamps results.

I think timestamping should be done as soon as possible in the receive
path, to get meaningful values (ie timestamps taken at the time packet
was delivered by NIC driver to our stack), even if NAPI already can
defer timestamping a bit (RPS can help to reduce the gap)

Tom Herbert prefer to sample timestamps after RPS dispatch. In case
sampling is expensive (HPET/acpi_pm on x86), this makes sense.

Let admins switch from one mode to another, using a new
sysctl, /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_tstamp_prequeue

Its default value (1), means timestamps are taken as soon as possible,
before backlog queueing, giving accurate timestamps.

Setting a 0 value permits to sample timestamps when processing backlog,
after RPS dispatch, to lower the load of the pre-RPS cpu.

Steven Rostedt 38516ab59f tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacks
This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.

The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
parameter. For example:

DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)

Will create the register function:

int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
                                void *data);

As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:

void myprobe(void *data, int value)
{
}

The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.

This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
with the function probe.

	void mycallback(void *data, int value);

	register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);

Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
before the args.

A more detailed example:

  DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

  /* In the C file */

  DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

  [...]

       trace_mytracepoint(status);

  /* In a file registering this tracepoint */

  int my_callback(void *data, int status)
  {
	struct my_struct my_data = data;
	[...]
  }

  [...]
	my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
	init_my_data(my_data);
	register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);

The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:

	unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);

Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:

  DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());

will cause an error.

If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:

  DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);

Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.

This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class
4918492	1084612	 861512	6864616	 68bee8	vmlinux.tracepoint

Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.

 v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.

 v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
     #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
     cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
     Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.

 v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
     all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
     This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.

     Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().

 v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
     and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
     do not need any arguments.

Use a custom inlined version of __napi_complete() in process_backlog()

 only current cpu owns and manipulates this napi,
 and NAPI_STATE_SCHED is the only possible flag set on backlog.

WANG Cong 0e34e93177 netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devices
This whole patchset is for adding netpoll support to bridge and bonding
devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding,
and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now.

To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust
some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things:

1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device:
   IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll;
   IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device
   at run-time;

2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops:
   ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is
     removed.

3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter;
   export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later;

4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto.

5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll.

6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable
   netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.

Eric Dumazet ec7d2f2cf3 net: __alloc_skb() speedup
With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink
simulator :
- 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450  @3.00GHz
- 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port)
- RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0
- rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second)
- SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload)
- tg3 NIC
- 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level.

Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch
first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part.

Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead
of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves.

All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in 
__alloc_skb().

Eric Dumazet 4381548237 net: sock_def_readable() and friends RCU conversion
sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we
need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming
packet.

RCU conversion is pretty much needed :

1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields
that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a
wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer).

[Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing]

2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in
sock_alloc_inode().

3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq"

4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct
socket_wq"

5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of
sk->sk_sleep

6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside
a rcu_read_lock() section.

7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to :
  - Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
  - Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks.
  - Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)

8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well.

9) Exceptions :
  macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq"
instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing.

Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible
sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...).

Eric Dumazet 4b0b72f7dd net: speedup udp receive path
Since commit 95766fff ([UDP]: Add memory accounting.), 
each received packet needs one extra sock_lock()/sock_release() pair.

This added latency because of possible backlog handling. Then later,
ticket spinlocks added yet another latency source in case of DDOS.

This patch introduces lock_sock_bh() and unlock_sock_bh()
synchronization primitives, avoiding one atomic operation and backlog
processing.

skb_free_datagram_locked() uses them instead of full blown
lock_sock()/release_sock(). skb is orphaned inside locked section for
proper socket memory reclaim, and finally freed outside of it.

UDP receive path now take the socket spinlock only once.

because user thread spend many time to process a full backlog each

Introduce a sk_rcvqueues_full() helper, to avoid taking socket lock in
