Patrick McHardy 23bcf634c8 net_sched: fix estimator lock selection for mq child qdiscs
When new child qdiscs are attached to the mq qdisc, they are actually
attached as root qdiscs to the device queues. The lock selection for
new estimators incorrectly picks the root lock of the existing and
to be replaced qdisc, which results in a use-after-free once the old
qdisc has been destroyed.

Mark mq qdisc instances with a new flag and treat qdiscs attached to
mq as children similar to regular root qdiscs.

Additionally prevent estimators from being attached to the mq qdisc
itself since it only updates its byte and packet counters during dumps.

David S. Miller 6ec1c69a8f net_sched: add classful multiqueue dummy scheduler
This patch adds a classful dummy scheduler which can be used as root qdisc
for multiqueue devices and exposes each device queue as a child class.

This allows to address queues individually and graft them similar to regular
classes. Additionally it presents an accumulated view of the statistics of
all real root qdiscs in the dummy root.

Two new callbacks are added to the qdisc_ops and qdisc_class_ops:

- cl_ops->select_queue selects the tx queue number for new child classes.

- qdisc_ops->attach() overrides root qdisc device grafting to attach
  non-shared qdiscs to the queues.

Patrick McHardy af356afa01 net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_api
Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from
a few problems:

- with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means
  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.

Patrick McHardy de6d5cdf88 net_sched: make cls_ops->change and cls_ops->delete optional
Some schedulers don't support creating, changing or deleting classes.
Make the respective callbacks optionally and consistently return
-EOPNOTSUPP for unsupported operations, instead of currently either
-EOPNOTSUPP, -ENOSYS or no error.

In case of sch_prio and sch_multiq, the removed operations additionally
checked for an invalid class. This is not necessary since the class
argument can only orginate from ->get() or in case of ->change is 0
for creation of new classes, in which case ->change() incorrectly
returned -ENOENT.

As a side-effect, this patch fixes a possible (root-only) NULL pointer
function call in sch_ingress, which didn't implement a so far mandatory
->delete() operation.

David S. Miller 2fbd3da387 pkt_sched: Revert tasklet_hrtimer changes.
These are full of unresolved problems, mainly that conversions don't
work 1-1 from hrtimers to tasklet_hrtimers because unlike hrtimers
tasklets can't be killed from softirq context.

pfifo_fast_enqueue has this check:

Eric Dumazet c1a8f1f1c8 net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definition
In 5e140dfc1f "net: reorder struct Qdisc
for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic
changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to
userland via netlink.

Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason.

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)

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
aggregate Mb/s across iterations tested with this version on
System-X boxes with Chelsio 10gbps cards:

This patch fixes a bug which unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps

When we execute 'tc filter add', tcf_proto is allocated, initialized
by classifier's init(), and chained.  After it's chained,
tc_ctl_tfilter() calls classifier's change().  When classifier's
change() fails, tc_ctl_tfilter() does not free and keeps tcf_proto.

In addition, cls_cgroup is initialized in change() not in init().  It
accesses unconfigured struct tcf_proto which is chained before
change(), then hits Oops.

Eric Dumazet 9d21493b4b net: tx scalability works : trans_start
struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance
devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties
it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks.

But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock
a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes
sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update
will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for
free.

We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to
update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start.

Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in 
netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind)

use the upper 16 bits of the u32 'prio' field of 'struct tcf_proto',
but when the kernel generates the priority of a filter is saves all
32 bits which can result in incorrect lookup failures when a filter
needs to be deleted or modified.

Jarek Poplawski 8caf153974 net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.
Alex Sidorenko reported:

"while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It
seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some
hosts but not on others.

After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp
field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That
is:

- if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected
- if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay"

This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit()
on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on
the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active.

Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host,
tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the
outside.

Jarek Poplawski 7cd0a63872 pkt_sched: Change misleading code in class delete.
While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858
I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero
refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and
destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen
like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after
delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is
always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock.

This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls
were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug
in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds,
which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here.

Michael Marineau 22604c8668 net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28
From: Michael Marineau <mike@marineau.org>

Commit b47300168e "Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for
drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device.
Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their
link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING
flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was
previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is
not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as
reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on
__LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3],
and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is
not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link,
I don't know if and when it may get set.)

The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I
tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted
without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report
RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to
start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted
with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time
out the first time.

The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable
correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called
but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call
entirely as the previous fix did. (sorry it isn't inline, I don't have
a patch friendly email client at the moment)

Patrick McHardy 3f0947c3ff pkt_sched: sch_drr: fix drr_dequeue loop()
Jarek Poplawski points out:

If all child qdiscs of sch_drr are non-work-conserving (e.g. sch_tbf)
drr_dequeue() will busy-loop waiting for skbs instead of leaving the
job for a watchdog. Checking for list_empty() in each loop isn't
necessary either, because this can never be true except the first time.

Using non-work-conserving qdiscs as children of DRR makes no sense,
simply bail out in that case.

The use of xchg() hasn't been necessary since 2.2.something when proper

Stephen Hemminger d314774cf2 netdev: network device operations infrastructure
This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative
operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure.

This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the
new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once.
For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list
still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new
net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers.

After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to
an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable.

Some function pointers aren't moved:
* destructor can't be in net_device_ops because
  it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded.
* neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special
  consideration
* hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.

Thomas Graf f400923735 pkt_sched: Control group classifier
The classifier should cover the most common use case and will work
without any special configuration.

The principle of the classifier is to directly access the
task_struct via get_current(). In order for this to work,
classification requests from softirqs must be ignored. This is
not a problem because the vast majority of packets in softirq
context are not assigned to a task anyway. For this to work, a
mechanism is needed to trace softirq context. 

This repost goes back to the method of relying on the number of
nested bh disable calls for the sake of not adding too much
complexity and the option to come up with something more reliable
if actually needed.

Patrick McHardy noticed that: "a lot of the functionality of netem
requires the inner tfifo anyways and rate-limiting is usually done
on top of netem. So I would suggest so either hard-wire the tfifo
qdisc or at least make the assumption that inner qdiscs are

work as inner qdiscs of netem [...]".

So, according to his suggestion, this patch removes classful options
of netem. The main reason of this change is to remove ops->requeue()
method, which is currently used only by netem.

This patch adds qdisc_peek_dequeued() wrapper to emulate peek method
with qdisc->dequeue() and storing "peeked" skb in qdisc->gso_skb until
dequeuing. This is mainly for compatibility reasons not to break some
strange configs because peeking is expected for non-work-conserving
parent qdiscs to query work-conserving child qdiscs.

This implementation requires using qdisc_dequeue_peeked() wrapper
instead of directly calling qdisc->dequeue() for all qdiscs ever
querried with qdisc->ops->peek() or qdisc_peek_dequeued().

Just as a demonstration how easy adding a peek operation to the
work-conserving qdiscs actually is. It doesn't need to keep or change
any internal state in many cases thanks to the guarantee that the
packet will either be dequeued or, if another packet arrives, the
upper qdisc will immediately ->peek again to reevaluate the state.

qdisc_root_sleeping_lock() for this, plus additional checks, where
necessary.

Since some qdiscs call qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() (so qdisc_lookup())

Based upon reports by Denys Fedoryshchenko, and feedback

We always either:

1) Never made an external reference to this qdisc.

or

2) Did a dev_deactivate() which purged all asynchronous
   references.

So do not lock the qdisc when we call qdisc_destroy(),
it's illegal anyways as when we drop the lock this is

We want to wait until the previous qdisc that was sitting at

->qdisc_sleeping.

Because of how we propagate the samples qdisc pointer down into
qdisc_run and friends via per-cpu ->output_queue and netif_schedule,
we have to wait also for the __QDISC_STATE_SCHED bit to clear as
well.

Jarek Poplawski 378a2f090f net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flag
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed:
"The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is
TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs'
qlen counters."

and later explained:
"The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase
the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by
other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter
when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though.

This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to
the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN,
return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS."

David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed:
"Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of
bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific
attributes.

So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT"

The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller,
such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their
way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the
qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way."

This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

Bug report from Steven Jan Springl:

	Issuing the following command causes a kernel oops:
		tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress

The problem mostly stems from all of the special case handling of
ingress qdiscs.

So, to fix this, do the grafting operation the same way we do for TX
qdiscs.  Which means that dev_activate() and dev_deactivate() now do
the "qdisc_sleeping <--> qdisc" transitions on dev->rx_queue too.

Future simplifications are possible now, mainly because it is
impossible for dev_queue->{qdisc,qdisc_sleeping} to be NULL.  There
are NULL checks all over to handle the ingress qdisc special case
that used to exist before this commit.

Idea is from Patrick McHardy.

Instead of managing the list of qdiscs on the device level, manage it
in the root qdisc of a netdev_queue.  This solves all kinds of
visibility issues during qdisc destruction.

The way to iterate over all qdiscs of a netdev_queue is to visit
the netdev_queue->qdisc, and then traverse it's list.

The only special case is to ignore builting qdiscs at the root when
dumping or doing a qdisc_lookup().  That was not needed previously
because builtin qdiscs were not added to the device's qdisc_list.

David S. Miller 99194cff39 pkt_sched: Add multiqueue handling to qdisc_graft().
Move the destruction of the old queue into qdisc_graft().

When operating on a root qdisc (ie. "parent == NULL"), apply
the operation to all queues.  The caller has grabbed a single
implicit reference for this graft, therefore when we apply the
change to more than one queue we must grab additional qdisc
references.

Otherwise, we are operating on a class of a specific parent qdisc, and
therefore no multiqueue handling is necessary.

David S. Miller 8a34c5dc3a pkt_sched: Perform bulk of qdisc destruction in RCU.
This allows less strict control of access to the qdisc attached to a
netdev_queue.  It is even allowed to enqueue into a qdisc which is
in the process of being destroyed.  The RCU handler will toss out
those packets.

We will need this to handle sharing of a qdisc amongst multiple
TX queues.  In such a setup the lock has to be shared, so will
be inside of the qdisc itself.  At which point the netdev_queue
lock cannot be used to hard synchronize access to the ->qdisc
pointer.

One operation we have to keep inside of qdisc_destroy() is the list
deletion.  It is the only piece of state visible after the RCU quiesce
period, so we have to undo it early and under the appropriate locking.

The operations in the RCU handler do not need any looking because the
qdisc tree is no longer visible to anything at that point.

David S. Miller fd2ea0a79f net: Use queue aware tests throughout.
This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking
and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures.

Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes.  The interfaces they use such
as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero.
So everything "just works" for them.

Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a
routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(),
netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc.

pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others.

In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely
improved.  The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the
wrong queue, which is mostly harmless.  The thing to do is probably to
invoke fill_packet() earlier.

The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on
the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping.

Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of
net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx().  If we end up needing any kind of
special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here.

Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver
indicates how many TX queues are actually active.

This actually fixes a bug added by the RR scheduler changes.  The

inconsistencies.

It might be possible, in the new design (where there will be one qdisc
per device TX queue) to allow similar functionality via a TX hash
algorithm for RR but I really see no reason to export this aspect of
how these multiqueue cards actually implement the scheduling of the
the individual DMA TX rings and the single physical MAC/PHY port.

David S. Miller e8a0464cc9 netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.

Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.

Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

Hash list removal currently happens twice (once in htb_delete, once

that qdisc destruction destroys classes in hierarchical order, which
is not necessary if filters are destroyed in a separate iteration
during qdisc destruction.

Adjust qdisc destruction to follow the same scheme as other hierarchical
qdiscs by first performing a filter destruction pass, then destroying
all classes in hash order.

Patrick McHardy f5ba2d3217 [PKT_SCHED]: Fix datalen check in tcf_simp_init().
datalen is unsigned so it can never be less than zero,
but that's ok because the attribute passed to nla_len()
has been validated and therefore a negative return
value is impossible.

Jarek Poplawski 066a3b5b23 [NET_SCHED] sch_api: fix qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() loop
TC_H_MAJ(parentid) for root classes is the same as for ingress, and if
ingress qdisc is created qdisc_lookup() returns its pointer (without
ingress NULL is returned). After this all qdisc_lookups give the same,
and we get endless loop. (I don't know how this could hide for so long
- it should trigger with every leaf class deleted if it's qdisc isn't
empty.)

After this fix qdisc_lookup() is omitted both for ingress and root
parents, but looking for root is only wasting a little time here...
Many thanks to Enrico Demarin for finding a test for catching this
bug, which probably bothered quite a lot of admins.

Jarek Poplawski e56cfad132 [NET_SCHED] cls_u32: refcounting fix for u32_delete()
Deleting of nonroot hnodes mostly doesn't work in u32_delete():
refcnt == 1 is expected, but such hnodes' refcnts are initialized
with 0 and charged only with "link" nodes. Now they'll start with
1 like usual. Thanks to Patrick McHardy for an improving suggestion.

Herbert Xu 2ba2506ca7 [NET]: Add preemption point in qdisc_run
The qdisc_run loop is currently unbounded and runs entirely in a
softirq.  This is bad as it may create an unbounded softirq run.

This patch fixes this by calling need_resched and breaking out if
necessary.

It also adds a break out if the jiffies value changes since that would
indicate we've been transmitting for too long which starves other
softirqs.

YOSHIFUJI Hideaki 3b1e0a655f [NET] NETNS: Omit sock->sk_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.
Introduce per-sock inlines: sock_net(), sock_net_set()
and per-inet_timewait_sock inlines: twsk_net(), twsk_net_set().
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists.
Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations.

Martin Devera 8f3ea33a50 sch_htb: fix "too many events" situation
HTB is event driven algorithm and part of its work is to apply
scheduled events at proper times. It tried to defend itself from
livelock by processing only limited number of events per dequeue.
Because of faster computers some users already hit this hardcoded
limit.

This patch limits processing up to 2 jiffies (why not 1 jiffie ?
because it might stop prematurely when only fraction of jiffie
remains).
