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 7489aec8ee netfilter: xtables: stackptr should be percpu
commit f3c5c1bfd4 (netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrant)
introduced a performance regression, because stackptr array is shared by
all cpus, adding cache line ping pongs. (16 cpus share a 64 bytes cache
line)

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()

Brian Haley 6057fd78a8 IPv6: fix Mobile IPv6 regression
Commit f4f914b5 (net: ipv6 bind to device issue) caused
a regression with Mobile IPv6 when it changed the meaning
of fl->oif to become a strict requirement of the route
lookup.  Instead, only force strict mode when
sk->sk_bound_dev_if is set on the calling socket, getting
the intended behavior and fixing the regression.

Herbert Xu 0aa6827151 ipv6: Add GSO support on forwarding path
Currently we disallow GSO packets on the IPv6 forward path.
This patch fixes this.

Note that I discovered that our existing GSO MTU checks (e.g.,
IPv4 forwarding) are buggy in that they skip the check altogether,
when they really should be checking gso_size + header instead.

I have also been lazy here in that I haven't bothered to segment
the GSO packet by hand before generating an ICMP message.  Someone
should add that to be 100% correct.

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().

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.

Patrick McHardy d1db275dd3 ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tables
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances,
named "tables".

Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by
issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is
stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(),
getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT)
is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg
devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of
devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for
compatibility reasons.

Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules,
similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark
are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported
additionally.

Example usage:

- bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table:

uint32_t table = 123;
setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table));

- create routing rules directing packets to the new table:

# ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123
# ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123

Brian Haley d40a4de0be IPv6: fix IPV6_RECVERR handling of locally-generated errors
I noticed when I added support for IPV6_DONTFRAG that if you set
IPV6_RECVERR and tried to send a UDP packet larger than 64K to an
IPv6 destination, you'd correctly get an EMSGSIZE, but reading from
MSG_ERRQUEUE returned the incorrect address in the cmsg:

struct msghdr:
	 msg_name         0x7fff8f3c96d0
	 msg_namelen      28
struct sockaddr_in6:
	 sin6_family      10
	 sin6_port        7639
	 sin6_flowinfo    0
	 sin6_addr        ::ffff:38.32.0.0
	 sin6_scope_id    0  ((null))

It should have returned this in my case:

struct msghdr:
	 msg_name         0x7fffd866b510
	 msg_namelen      28
struct sockaddr_in6:
	 sin6_family      10
	 sin6_port        7639
	 sin6_flowinfo    0
	 sin6_addr        2620:0:a09:e000:21f:29ff:fe57:f88b
	 sin6_scope_id    0  ((null))

The problem is that ipv6_recv_error() assumes that if the error
wasn't generated by ICMPv6, it's an IPv4 address sitting there,
and proceeds to create a v4-mapped address from it.

Change ipv6_icmp_error() and ipv6_local_error() to set skb->protocol
to htons(ETH_P_IPV6) so that ipv6_recv_error() knows the address
sitting right after the extended error is IPv6, else it will
incorrectly map the first octet into an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address
in the cmsg structure returned in a recvmsg() call to obtain
the error.

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.

David S. Miller 8d238b25b1 Revert "tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound"
This reverts two commits:

fda48a0d7a
tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound

and a follow-on fix for it:

6443bb1fc2
ipv6: Fix inet6_csk_bind_conflict()

It causes problems with binding listening sockets when time-wait
sockets from a previous instance still are alive.

It's too late to keep fiddling with this so late in the -rc
series, and we'll deal with it in net-next-2.6 instead.

Eric Dumazet c377411f24 net: sk_add_backlog() take rmem_alloc into account
Current socket backlog limit is not enough to really stop DDOS attacks,
because user thread spend many time to process a full backlog each
round, and user might crazy spin on socket lock.

We should add backlog size and receive_queue size (aka rmem_alloc) to
pace writers, and let user run without being slow down too much.

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

Under huge stress from a multiqueue/RPS enabled NIC, a single flow udp
receiver can now process ~200.000 pps (instead of ~100 pps before the
patch) on a 8 core machine.

Patrick McHardy 25239cee7e net: rtnetlink: decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families
Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to
be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family
without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.

This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
without breaking compatibility.

This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
above that may be used arbitrarily.
