Eric W. Biederman 54716e3beb net neigh: Decouple per interface neighbour table controls from binary sysctls
Stop computing the number of neighbour table settings we have by
counting the number of binary sysctls.  This behaviour was silly
and meant that we could not add another neighbour table setting
without also adding another binary sysctl.

Don't pass the binary sysctl path for neighour table entries
into neigh_sysctl_register.  These parameters are no longer
used and so are just dead code.

This patchset enables the ethtool layer to program n-tuple
filters to an underlying device.  The idea is to allow capable
hardware to have static rules applied that can assist steering
flows into appropriate queues.

Hardware that is known to support these types of filters today
are ixgbe and niu.

Eric Dumazet 2fc1b5dd99 dst: call cond_resched() in dst_gc_task()
Kernel bugzilla #15239

On some workloads, it is quite possible to get a huge dst list to
process in dst_gc_task(), and trigger soft lockup detection.

Fix is to call cond_resched(), as we run in process context.

H Hartley Sweeten 4d0392be21 net/core/sock.c: quiet sparse noise
In sock_getsockopt the symbol 'lv' is declared as an
unsigned int type, probably due to sizeof returning a
size_t which is really an unsigned int.

This produces a sparse warning for SO_PEERNAME due to
the sock->ops->getname() call:

Jesper Dangaard Brouer 2d13bafeba net: Make it easier to parse /proc/net/dev contents.
The contents of /proc/net/dev is annoying to parse, because
it changes whether there is a space after the "ethX:" or not.
It depends upon the size of the "Receive bytes" counter,
if the number is below 7 digits, then there is whitespaces
else if the number is 8 digits or above there is no space
between the ":" and the number.

This patch changes the output to assure there is always a space
between the ":" and the number.  Given that all existing userspace
application already need to handle the whitespaces, I see
no breakage of existing tools.

This patch fixes up a problem with found with commit
1f3c8804ac.  The original change
overloaded null_or_orig, but doing that prevented any packet handlers
that were not tied to a specific device (i.e. ptype->dev == NULL) from
ever receiving any frames.

The null_or_orig variable cannot be overloaded, and must be kept as NULL
to prevent the frame from being ignored by packet handlers designed to
accept frames on any interface.

Eric W. Biederman d90a909e1f net: Fix userspace RTM_NEWLINK notifications.
I received some bug reports about userspace programs having problems
because after RTM_NEWLINK was received they could not immediate access
files under /proc/sys/net/ because they had not been registered yet.

The original problem was trivially fixed by moving the userspace
notification from rtnetlink_event() to the end of
register_netdevice().

When testing that change I discovered I was still getting RTM_NEWLINK
events before I could access proc and I was also getting RTM_NEWLINK
events after I was seeing RTM_DELLINK.  Things practically guaranteed
to confuse userspace.

After a little more investigation these extra notifications proved to
be from the new notifiers NETDEV_POST_INIT and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH
hitting the default case in rtnetlink_event, and triggering
unnecessary RTM_NEWLINK messages.

rtnetlink_event now explicitly handles NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH and
NETDEV_POST_INIT to avoid sending the incorrect userspace
notifications.

Krishna Kumar e93737b0f0 net: Handle NETREG_UNINITIALIZED devices correctly
Fix two problems:

1. If unregister_netdevice_many() is called with both registered
   and unregistered devices, rollback_registered_many() bails out
   when it reaches the first unregistered device. The processing
   of the prior registered devices is unfinished, and the
   remaining devices are skipped, and possible registered netdev's
   are leaked/unregistered.

2. System hangs or panics depending on how the devices are passed,
   since when netdev_run_todo() runs, some devices were not fully
   processed.

Tested by passing intermingled unregistered and registered vlan
devices to unregister_netdevice_many() as follows:
	1. dev, fake_dev1, fake_dev2: hangs in run_todo
	   ("unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1.100 to become
	    free. Usage count = 1")
	2. fake_dev1, dev, fake_dev2: failure during de-registration
	   and next registration, followed by a vlan driver Oops
	   during subsequent registration.

Confirmed that the patch fixes both cases.

    net: fib_rules: allow to delete local rule

    Allow to delete the local rule and recreate it with a higher priority. This
    can be used to force packets with a local destination out on the wire instead
    of routing them to loopback. Additionally this patch allows to recreate rules
    with a priority of 0.

    Combined with the previous patch to allow oif classification, a socket can
    be bound to the desired interface and packets routed to the wire like this:

    # move local rule to lower priority
    ip rule add pref 1000 lookup local
    ip rule del pref 0

    # route packets of sockets bound to eth0 to the wire independant
    # of the destination address
    ip rule add pref 100 oif eth0 lookup 100
    ip route add default dev eth0 table 100

Eric W. Biederman f875bae065 net: Automatically allocate per namespace data.
To get the full benefit of batched network namespace cleanup netowrk
device deletion needs to be performed by the generic code.  When
using register_pernet_gen_device and freeing the data in exit_net
it is impossible to delay allocation until after exit_net has called
as the device uninit methods are no longer safe.

To correct this, and to simplify working with per network namespace data
I have moved allocation and deletion of per network namespace data into
the network namespace core.  The core now frees the data only after
all of the network namespace exit routines have run.

Now it is only required to set the new fields .id and .size
in the pernet_operations structure if you want network namespace
data to be managed for you automatically.

This makes the current register_pernet_gen_device and
register_pernet_gen_subsys routines unnecessary.  For the moment
I have left them as compatibility wrappers in net_namespace.h
They will be removed once all of the users have been updated.

Eric W. Biederman 2b035b3997 net: Batch network namespace destruction.
It is fairly common to kill several network namespaces at once.  Either
because they are nested one inside the other or because they are cooperating
in multiple machine networking experiments.  As the network stack control logic
does not parallelize easily batch up multiple network namespaces existing
together.

To get the full benefit of batching the virtual network devices to be
removed must be all removed in one batch.  For that purpose I have added
a loop after the last network device operations have run that batches
up all remaining network devices and deletes them.

An extra benefit is that the reorganization slightly shrinks the size
of the per network namespace data structures replaceing a work_struct
with a list_head.

In a trivial test with 4K namespaces this change reduced the cost of
a destroying 4K namespaces from 7+ minutes (at 12% cpu) to 44 seconds
(at 60% cpu).  The bulk of that 44s was spent in inet_twsk_purge.

Eric W. Biederman a5ee155136 net: NETDEV_UNREGISTER_PERNET -> NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH
The motivation for an additional notifier in batched netdevice
notification (rt_do_flush) only needs to be called once per batch not
once per namespace.

For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the
netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all
of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with
the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly
unregistered last.

Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after
the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no
explanation.  So I have restored the original location of the final
synchronize_net.

Commit e6fce5b916 (pktgen: multiqueue etc.) tried to relax
the pktgen restriction of one device per kernel thread, adding a '@'
tag to device names.

Problem is we dont perform check on full pktgen device name.
This allows adding many time same 'device' to pktgen thread

 pgset "add_device eth0@0"

one session later :

 pgset "add_device eth0@0"

(This doesnt find previous device)

This consumes ~1.5 MBytes of vmalloc memory per round and also triggers

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ?

In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.

[PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle

time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105

real	0m0.266s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.001s

real	0m0.770s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s

real	0m1.022s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s

One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the
holding of device done by following chain :

vlan_dev_stop() ->
	netif_carrier_off(dev) ->
		linkwatch_fire_event(dev) ->
			dev_hold() ...

And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later...

A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method
to unlink the device from the list of watched devices.

dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory),
to be able to unlink device in O(1).

After patch :
time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105

real    0m0.024s

Herbert Xu 69c0cab120 gro: Fix illegal merging of trailer trash
When we've merged skb's with page frags, and subsequently receive
a trailer skb (< MSS) that is not completely non-linear (this can
occur on Intel NICs if the packet size falls below the threshold),
GRO ends up producing an illegal GSO skb with a frag_list.

This is harmless unless the skb is then forwarded through an
interface that requires software GSO, whereupon the GSO code
will BUG.

This patch detects this case in GRO and avoids merging the
trailer skb.

Eric Dumazet 91e9c07bd6 net: Fix the rollback test in dev_change_name()
net: Fix the rollback test in dev_change_name()

In dev_change_name() an err variable is used for storing the original
call_netdevice_notifiers() errno (negative) and testing for a rollback
error later, but the test for non-zero is wrong, because the err might
have positive value as well - from dev_alloc_name(). It means the
rollback for a netdevice with a number > 0 will never happen. (The err
test is reordered btw. to make it more readable.)

Jarek Poplawski 9a1654ba0b net: Optimize hard_start_xmit() return checking
Recent changes in the TX error propagation require additional checking
and masking of values returned from hard_start_xmit(), mainly to
separate cases where skb was consumed. This aim can be simplified by
changing the order of NETDEV_TX and NET_XMIT codes, because the latter
are treated similarly to negative (ERRNO) values.

After this change much simpler dev_xmit_complete() is also used in
sch_direct_xmit(), so it is moved to netdevice.h.

Additionally NET_RX definitions in netdevice.h are moved up from
between TX codes to avoid confusion while reading the TX comment.

Patrick McHardy 572a9d7b6f net: allow to propagate errors through ->ndo_hard_start_xmit()
Currently the ->ndo_hard_start_xmit() callbacks are only permitted to return
one of the NETDEV_TX codes. This prevents any kind of error propagation for
virtual devices, like queue congestion of the underlying device in case of
layered devices, or unreachability in case of tunnels.

This patches changes the NET_XMIT codes to avoid clashes with the NETDEV_TX
codes and changes the two callers of dev_hard_start_xmit() to expect either
errno codes, NET_XMIT codes or NETDEV_TX codes as return value.

In case of qdisc_restart(), all non NETDEV_TX codes are mapped to NETDEV_TX_OK
since no error propagation is possible when using qdiscs. In case of
dev_queue_xmit(), the error is propagated upwards.

The full_name_hash function does not produce well distributed values in
the lower bits, so most code uses hash_32() to fold it.  This is really
a bug introduced when name hashing was added, back in 2.5 when I added
name hashing.

hash_32 is all that is needed since full_name_hash returns unsigned int
which is only 32 bits on 64 bit platforms.

Also, there is no point in using hash_32 on ifindex, because the is naturally
sequential and usually well distributed.

Anton Vorontsov e84af6ddef skbuff: Do not allow skb recycling with disabled IRQs
NAPI drivers try to recycle SKBs in their polling routine, but we
generally don't know the context in which the polling will be called,
and the skb recycling itself may require IRQs to be enabled.

This patch adds irqs_disabled() test to the skb_recycle_check()
routine, so that we'll not let the drivers hit the skb recycling
path with IRQs disabled.

As a side effect, this patch actually disables skb recycling for some
[broken] drivers. E.g. gianfar driver grabs an irqsave spinlock during
TX ring processing, and then tries to recycle an skb, and that caused
the following badness:

Eric W. Biederman 81adee47df net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

Eric Dumazet 05423b2413 vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be used
We currently use a 16 bit field (vlan_tci) to store VLAN ID/PRIO on a skb.

Null value is used as a special value, meaning vlan tagging not enabled.
This forbids use of null vlan ID.

As pointed by David, some drivers use the 3 high order bits (PRIO)

As VLAN ID is 12 bits, we can use the remaining bit (CFI) as a flag, and
allow null VLAN ID.

In case future code really wants to use VLAN_CFI_MASK, we'll have to use
a bit outside of vlan_tci.

Neil Horman 3b885787ea net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg
Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows

Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames.  This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg.  AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option.  As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames.  It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count).  Tested
successfully by me.

Notes:

1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.

2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me.  This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.

3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c
and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT.

Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected

Ben Hutchings d73d3a8cb4 ethtool: Add reset operation
After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the
relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately.  This should
not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive.

A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics.

This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the
components to be reset.  Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of
those requested, and must indicate the actual subset.  This allows the
use of generic component masks and some future expansion.

Okay :) Here is the last round, before the night !

Thanks again

[RFC] pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Don't report fake rate estimators

We currently send TCA_STATS_RATE_EST elements to netlink users, even if no estimator
is running.

# tc -s -d qdisc
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
 Sent 112833764978 bytes 1495081739 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

User has no way to tell if the "rate 0bit 0pps" is a real estimation, or a fake
one (because no estimator is active)

After this patch, tc command output is :
$ tc -s -d qdisc
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
 Sent 561075 bytes 1196 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

We add a parameter to gnet_stats_copy_rate_est() function so that
it can use gen_estimator_active(bstats, r), as suggested by Jarek.

This parameter can be NULL if check is not necessary, (htb for
example has a mandatory rate estimator)

Andy Gospodarek d519e17e2d net: export device speed and duplex via sysfs
This patch exports the link-speed (in Mbps) and duplex of an interface
via sysfs.  This eliminates the need to use ethtool just to check the
link-speed.  Not requiring 'ethtool' and not relying on the SIOCETHTOOL
ioctl should be helpful in an embedded environment where space is at a
premium as well.

NOTE: This patch also intentionally allows non-root users to check the link
speed and duplex -- something not possible with ethtool.

Here's some sample output:

It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue.

When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added
an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take
into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly.

I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants
to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender.

This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one.

Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers,
in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs

Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all
of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the
sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have
the same values reported as in procfs.

Moni Shoua 75c78500dd bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:

*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
   dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
   and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. 
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
   table, which might be unnecessary.

The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

  they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion.

- all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created
  qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible
  to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a
  shared qdisc has been attached.

- Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared
  qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete.

This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc
from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first
(non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The
following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used
as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

Ajit Khaparde 05c6a8d7a7 net/ethtool: Add support for the ethtool feature to flash firmware image from a specified file.
This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool.
The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image
using the request firmware path.

The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option.
It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool,
to the region to be flashed.

The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip.

Neil Horman 5848cc096a net: drop_monitor: make last_rx timestamp private
It was recently pointed out to me that the last_rx field of the
net_device structure wasn't updated regularly.  In fact only the
bonding driver really uses it currently.  Since the drop_monitor code
relies on the last_rx field to detect drops on recevie in hardware, We
need to find a more reliable way to rate limit our drop checks (so
that we don't check for drops on every frame recevied, which would be
inefficient.  This patch makes a last_rx timestamp that is private to
the drop monitor code and is updated for every device that we track.

Jarek Poplawski d66ee0587c net: sk_free() should be allowed right after sk_alloc()
After commit 2b85a34e91
(net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx)
sk_free() frees socks conditionally and depends
on sk_wmem_alloc being set e.g. in sock_init_data(). But in some
cases sk_free() is called earlier, usually after other alloc errors.

Fix is to move sk_wmem_alloc initialization from sock_init_data()
to sk_alloc() itself.

changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to

Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and
teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land,
using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic)

Eric Paris a8f80e8ff9 Networking: use CAP_NET_ADMIN when deciding to call request_module
The networking code checks CAP_SYS_MODULE before using request_module() to
try to load a kernel module.  While this seems reasonable it's actually
weakening system security since we have to allow CAP_SYS_MODULE for things
like /sbin/ip and bluetoothd which need to be able to trigger module loads.
CAP_SYS_MODULE actually grants those binaries the ability to directly load
any code into the kernel.  We should instead be protecting modprobe and the
modules on disk, rather than granting random programs the ability to load code
directly into the kernel.  Instead we are going to gate those networking checks
on CAP_NET_ADMIN which still limits them to root but which does not grant
those processes the ability to load arbitrary code into the kernel.

Krishna Kumar bbd8a0d3a3 net: Avoid enqueuing skb for default qdiscs
dev_queue_xmit enqueue's a skb and calls qdisc_run which
dequeue's the skb and xmits it. In most cases, the skb that
is enqueue'd is the same one that is dequeue'd (unless the
queue gets stopped or multiple cpu's write to the same queue
and ends in a race with qdisc_run). For default qdiscs, we
can remove the redundant enqueue/dequeue and simply xmit the
skb since the default qdisc is work-conserving.

The patch uses a new flag - TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS to identify the
default fast queue. The controversial part of the patch is
incrementing qlen when a skb is requeued - this is to avoid
checks like the second line below:

+  } else if ((q->flags & TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS) && !qdisc_qlen(q) &&
>>         !q->gso_skb &&
+          !test_and_set_bit(__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING, &q->state)) {

Results of a 2 hour testing for multiple netperf sessions (1,
2, 4, 8, 12 sessions on a 4 cpu system-X). The BW numbers are

it's using an zero-initialized spinlock. This is a side-effect of:

        dev_unicast_init(dev);

in alloc_netdev_mq() making use of dev->addr_list_lock.

The device has just been allocated freshly, it's not accessible
anywhere yet so no locking is needed at all - in fact it's wrong
to lock it here (the lock isnt initialized yet).

Eric Dumazet e4c4e448cf neigh: Convert garbage collection from softirq to workqueue
Current neigh_periodic_timer() function is fired by timer IRQ, and
scans one hash bucket each round (very litle work in fact)

As we are supposed to scan whole hash table in 15 seconds, this means
neigh_periodic_timer() can be fired very often. (depending on the number
of concurrent hash entries we stored in this table)

Converting this to a workqueue permits scanning whole table, minimizing
icache pollution, and firing this work every 15 seconds, independantly
of hash table size.

This 15 seconds delay is not a hard number, as work is a deferrable one.

Johannes Berg 463d018323 cfg80211: make aware of net namespaces
In order to make cfg80211/nl80211 aware of network namespaces,
we have to do the following things:

 * del_virtual_intf method takes an interface index rather
   than a netdev pointer - simply change this

 * nl80211 uses init_net a lot, it changes to use the sender's
   network namespace

 * scan requests use the interface index, hold a netdev pointer
   and reference instead

 * we want a wiphy and its associated virtual interfaces to be
   in one netns together, so
    - we need to be able to change ns for a given interface, so
      export dev_change_net_namespace()
    - for each virtual interface set the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL
      flag, and clear that flag only when the wiphy changes ns,
      to disallow breaking this invariant

 * when a network namespace goes away, we need to reparent the
   wiphy to init_net

 * cfg80211 users that support creating virtual interfaces must
   create them in the wiphy's namespace, currently this affects
   only mac80211

The end result is that you can now switch an entire wiphy into
a different network namespace with the new command
	iw phy#<idx> set netns <pid>
and all virtual interfaces will follow (or the operation fails).

Eric Dumazet 4dc6dc7162 net: sock_copy() fixes
Commit e912b1142b
(net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory)
took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time.

sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful.
We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until
we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or
a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake,
while not fully (re)initialized.

This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning
of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job.

We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations
to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should
be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting)

Eric Dumazet e912b1142b net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory
Some sockets use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, and our RCU code correctness
depends on sk->sk_nulls_node.next being always valid. A NULL
value is not allowed as it might fault a lockless reader.

Current sk_prot_alloc() implementation doesnt respect this hypothesis,
calling kmem_cache_alloc() with __GFP_ZERO. Just call memset() around
the forbidden field.

Jiri Olsa a57de0b433 net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacks
Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.

Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.

CPU1                         CPU2

sys_select                   receive packet
  ...                        ...
  __add_wait_queue           update tp->rcv_nxt
  ...                        ...
  tp->rcv_nxt check          sock_def_readable
  ...                        {
  schedule                      ...
                                if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
                                        wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
                                ...
                             }

If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.

Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.

The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side.  The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.

Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited:
	net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c
	net/irda/af_irda.c
	net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c
	net/mac80211/rc80211_pid_debugfs.c

Anton Vorontsov 1b614fb9a0 netpoll: Fix carrier detection for drivers that are using phylib
Using early netconsole and gianfar driver this error pops up:

  netconsole: timeout waiting for carrier

It appears that net/core/netpoll.c:netpoll_setup() is using
cond_resched() in a loop waiting for a carrier.

The thing is that cond_resched() is a no-op when system_state !=
SYSTEM_RUNNING, and so drivers/net/phy/phy.c's state_queue is never
scheduled, therefore link detection doesn't work.

I belive that the main problem is in cond_resched()[1], but despite
how the cond_resched() story ends, it might be a good idea to call
msleep(1) instead of cond_resched(), as suggested by Andrew Morton.

It may be inconvenient to force longer timeouts for sane PHYs,
so let's introduce a kernel command line option.

Since we're using module_param(), the option also can be
changed in runtime.

When NAPI is disabled while we're in net_rx_action, we end up
calling __napi_complete without flushing GRO packets.  This is
a bug as it would cause the GRO packets to linger, of course it
also literally BUGs to catch error like this :)

This patch changes it to napi_complete, with the obligatory IRQ
reenabling.  This should be safe because we've only just disabled
IRQs and it does not materially affect the test conditions in
between.

Herbert Xu d55d87fdff net: Move rx skb_orphan call to where needed
In order to get the tun driver to account packets, we need to be
able to receive packets with destructors set.  To be on the safe
side, I added an skb_orphan call for all protocols by default since
some of them (IP in particular) cannot handle receiving packets
destructors properly.

Now it seems that at least one protocol (CAN) expects to be able
to pass skb->sk through the rx path without getting clobbered.

So this patch attempts to fix this properly by moving the skb_orphan
call to where it's actually needed.  In particular, I've added it
to skb_set_owner_[rw] which is what most users of skb->destructor
call.

This is actually an improvement for tun too since it means that
we only give back the amount charged to the socket when the skb
is passed to another socket that will also be charged accordingly.
