1018b5c016 ipv4: Set rt->rt_iif more sanely on output routes.
rt->rt_iif is only ever inspected on input routes, for example DCCP
uses this to populate a route lookup flow key when generating replies
to another packet.

Therefore, setting it to anything other than zero on output routes
makes no sense.

44713b67db ipv4: Optimize flow initialization in output route lookup.
We burn a lot of useless cycles, cpu store buffer traffic, and
memory operations memset()'ing the on-stack flow used to perform
output route lookups in __ip_route_output_key().

Only the first half of the flow object members even matter for
output route lookups in this context, specifically:

FIB rules matching cares about:

	dst, src, tos, iif, oif, mark

FIB trie lookup cares about:

	dst

FIB semantic match cares about:

	tos, scope, oif

Therefore only initialize these specific members and elide the
memset entirely.

On Niagara2 this kills about ~300 cycles from the output route
lookup path.

Likely, we can take things further, since all callers of output
route lookups essentially throw away the on-stack flow they use.
So they don't care if we use it as a scratch-pad to compute the
final flow key.

65e8354ec1 inetpeer: seqlock optimization
David noticed :

------------------
Eric, I was profiling the non-routing-cache case and something that
stuck out is the case of calling inet_getpeer() with create==0.

If an entry is not found, we have to redo the lookup under a spinlock
to make certain that a concurrent writer rebalancing the tree does
not "hide" an existing entry from us.

This makes the case of a create==0 lookup for a not-present entry
really expensive.  It is on the order of 600 cpu cycles on my
Niagara2.

I added a hack to not do the relookup under the lock when create==0
and it now costs less than 300 cycles.

This is now a pretty common operation with the way we handle COW'd
metrics, so I think it's definitely worth optimizing.
-----------------

One solution is to use a seqlock instead of a spinlock to protect struct
inet_peer_base.

After a failed avl tree lookup, we can easily detect if a writer did
some changes during our lookup. Taking the lock and redo the lookup is
only necessary in this case.

Note: Add one private rcu_deref_locked() macro to place in one spot the
access to spinlock included in seqlock.

1362fa078d DNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]
When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to
read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to
be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076].

Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in
key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing.

Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the
amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated.

The buggy code was added in:

	commit 4a2d789267
	Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com>
	Date:   Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100
	Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]

This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program
compiled with -lkeyutils:

	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>
	#include <err.h>
	static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6";
	int main()
	{
		key_serial_t key;
		key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload),
			      KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING);
		if (key == -1)
			err(1, "add_key");
		if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1)
			err(1, "read_key");
		return 0;
	}

What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user:

	dns-break: read_key: No such device or address

but instead the kernel oopses.

This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands
as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be
included in the data.  Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return
-EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read.

The oops looks like:

ff75f40f44 ipvs: fix dst_lock locking on dest update
Fix dst_lock usage in __ip_vs_update_dest. We need
_bh locking because destination is updated in user context.
Can cause lockups on frequent destination updates.
Problem reported by Simon Kirby. Bug was introduced
in 2.6.37 from the "ipvs: changes for local real server"
change.

69ead7afdf ipv6: Normalize arguments to ip6_dst_blackhole().
Return a dst pointer which is potentitally error encoded.

Don't pass original dst pointer by reference, pass a struct net
instead of a socket, and elide the flow argument since it is
unnecessary.

68d0c6d34d ipv6: Consolidate route lookup sequences.
Route lookups follow a general pattern in the ipv6 code wherein
we first find the non-IPSEC route, potentially override the
flow destination address due to ipv6 options settings, and then
finally make an IPSEC search using either xfrm_lookup() or
__xfrm_lookup().

__xfrm_lookup() is used when we want to generate a blackhole route
if the key manager needs to resolve the IPSEC rules (in this case
-EREMOTE is returned and the original 'dst' is left unchanged).

Otherwise plain xfrm_lookup() is used and when asynchronous IPSEC
resolution is necessary, we simply fail the lookup completely.

All of these cases are encapsulated into two routines,
ip6_dst_lookup_flow and ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow.  The latter of which
handles unconnected UDP datagram sockets.

903ab86d19 udp: Add lockless transmit path
The UDP transmit path has been running under the socket lock
for a long time because of the corking feature.  This means that
transmitting to the same socket in multiple threads does not
scale at all.

However, as most users don't actually use corking, the locking
can be removed in the common case.

This patch creates a lockless fast path where corking is not used.

Please note that this does create a slight inaccuracy in the
enforcement of socket send buffer limits.  In particular, we
may exceed the socket limit by up to (number of CPUs) * (packet
size) because of the way the limit is computed.

As the primary purpose of socket buffers is to indicate congestion,
this should not be a great problem for now.

f6b9664f8b udp: Switch to ip_finish_skb
This patch converts UDP to use the new ip_finish_skb API.  This
would then allows us to more easily use ip_make_skb which allows
UDP to run without a socket lock.

1c32c5ad6f inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skb
This patch adds the helper ip_make_skb which is like ip_append_data
and ip_push_pending_frames all rolled into one, except that it does
not send the skb produced.  The sending part is carried out by
ip_send_skb, which the transport protocol can call after it has
tweaked the skb.

It is meant to be called in cases where corking is not used should
have a one-to-one correspondence to sendmsg.

This patch also adds the helper ip_finish_skb which is meant to
be replace ip_push_pending_frames when corking is required.
Previously the protocol stack would peek at the socket write
queue and add its header to the first packet.  With ip_finish_skb,
the protocol stack can directly operate on the final skb instead,
just like the non-corking case with ip_make_skb.

1470ddf7f8 inet: Remove explicit write references to sk/inet in ip_append_data
In order to allow simultaneous calls to ip_append_data on the same
socket, it must not modify any shared state in sk or inet (other
than those that are designed to allow that such as atomic counters).

This patch abstracts out write references to sk and inet_sk in
ip_append_data and its friends so that we may use the underlying
code in parallel.
