3630b7c050 ipv4: Remove fib_hash.
The time has finally come to remove the hash based routing table
implementation in ipv4.

FIB Trie is mature, well tested, and I've done an audit of it's code
to confirm that it implements insert, delete, and lookup with the same
identical semantics as fib_hash did.

If there are any semantic differences found in fib_trie, we should
simply fix them.

I've placed the trie statistic config option under advanced router
configuration.

0c838ff1ad ipv4: Consolidate all default route selection implementations.
Both fib_trie and fib_hash have a local implementation of
fib_table_select_default().  This is completely unnecessary
code duplication.

Since we now remember the fib_table and the head of the fib
alias list of the default route, we can implement one single
generic version of this routine.

Looking at the fib_hash implementation you may get the impression
that it's possible for there to be multiple top-level routes in
the table for the default route.  The truth is, it isn't, the
insert code will only allow one entry to exist in the zero
prefix hash table, because all keys evaluate to zero and all
keys in a hash table must be unique.

5b4704419c ipv4: Remember FIB alias list head and table in lookup results.
This will be used later to implement fib_select_default() in a
completely generic manner, instead of the current situation where the
default route is re-looked up in the TRIE/HASH table and then the
available aliases are analyzed.

ae361ce19f batman-adv: Calculate correct size for merged packets
The routing algorithm must be able to decide if a fragment can be merged with
the missing part and still be passed to a forwarding interface. The fragments
can only differ by one byte in case that the original payload had an uneven
length. In that situation the sender has to inform all possible receivers that
the tail is one byte longer using the flag UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL.

The combination of UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL and UNI_FRAG_HEAD flag makes it possible
to calculate the correct length for even and uneven sized payloads.

The original formula missed to add the unicast header at all and forgot to
remove the fragment header of the second fragment. This made the results highly
unreliable and only useful for machines with large differences between the
configured MTUs.

5c77d8bb8a batman-adv: Create roughly equal sized fragments
The routing algorithm must know how large two fragments are to be able to
decide that it is safe to merge them or if it should resubmit without waiting
for the second part. When these two fragments have a too different size, it is
not possible to guess right in every situation.

The user could easily configure the MTU of the attached cards so that one
fragment is forwarded and the other one is added to the fragments table to wait
for the missing part.

For even sized packets, it is possible to split it so that the resulting
packages are equal sized by ignoring the old non-fragment header at the
beginning of the original packet.

This still creates different sized fragments for uneven sized packets.

1181e1daac batman-adv: Make vis info stack traversal threadsafe
The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information
about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected
with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it.

The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack
and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will
be initiated without the lock which protects the stack.

The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that
it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the
current element in the list. The list may be modified during the
unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer
not pointing to correct next element.

It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no
elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which
would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.

709b46e8d9 net: Add compat ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNT
SIOCGETSGCNT is not a unique ioctl value as it it maps tio SIOCPROTOPRIVATE +1,
which unfortunately means the existing infrastructure for compat networking
ioctls is insufficient.  A trivial compact ioctl implementation would conflict
with:

SIOCAX25ADDUID
SIOCAIPXPRISLT
SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6
SIOCGETSGCNT
SIOCRSSCAUSE
SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP
SIOCX25SDTEFACILITIES

To make this work I have updated the compat_ioctl decode path to mirror the
the normal ioctl decode path.  I have added an ipv4 inet_compat_ioctl function
so that I can have ipv4 specific compat ioctls.   I have added a compat_ioctl
function into struct proto so I can break out ioctls by which kind of ip socket
I am using.  I have added a compat_raw_ioctl function because SIOCGETSGCNT only
works on raw sockets.  I have added a ipmr_compat_ioctl that mirrors the normal
ipmr_ioctl.

This was necessary because unfortunately the struct layout for the SIOCGETSGCNT
has unsigned longs in it so changes between 32bit and 64bit kernels.

This change was sufficient to run a 32bit ip multicast routing daemon on a
64bit kernel.

    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.

Where apparently I forgot to add error handling to the path where we create
a new network device in a new network namespace, and pass in an invalid pid.

66c46d741e gro: Reset dev pointer on reuse
On older kernels the VLAN code may zero skb->dev before dropping
it and causing it to be reused by GRO.

Unfortunately we didn't reset skb->dev in that case which causes
the next GRO user to get a bogus skb->dev pointer.

This particular problem no longer happens with the current upstream
kernel due to changes in VLAN processing.

However, for correctness we should still reset the skb->dev pointer
in the GRO reuse function in case a future user does the same thing.

the generic metrics COW'ing mechanism using kmalloc/kfree.

This gives the IPSEC routes an opportunity to use metrics
which are unique to their encapsulated paths.

8f2771f2b8 ipv6: Remove route peer binding assertions.
They are bogus.  The basic idea is that I wanted to make sure
that prefixed routes never bind to peers.

The test I used was whether RTF_CACHE was set.

But first of all, the RTF_CACHE flag is set at different spots
depending upon which ip6_rt_copy() caller you're talking about.

I've validated all of the code paths, and even in the future
where we bind peers more aggressively (for route metric COW'ing)
we never bind to prefix'd routes, only fully specified ones.
This even applies when addrconf or icmp6 routes are allocated.

c2aa3665cf net: add kmemcheck annotation in __alloc_skb()
pskb_expand_head() triggers a kmemcheck warning when copy of
skb_shared_info is done in pskb_expand_head()

This is because destructor_arg field is not necessarily initialized at
this point. Add kmemcheck_annotate_variable() call in __alloc_skb() to
instruct kmemcheck this is a normal situation.

6d3a9a6854 net: fix validate_link_af in rtnetlink core
I'm testing an API that uses IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute.
In the rtnetlink core , the set_link_af() member
of the rtnl_af_ops struct receives the nested attribute
(as I expected), but the validate_link_af() member
receives the parent attribute.
IMO, this patch fixes this.

Set the RTAX_LOCKED metric to INETPEER_METRICS_NEW (basically,

62fa8a846d net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write.

Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location.
If a routing table entry exists, it will point there.  Else it will
point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'.

The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the
metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store
more states.

For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc.
However future enhancements will change this to place the writable
metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing.  Very likely
this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache.

Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail
if we cannot COW the metrics successfully.

But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and
increase cache locality especially for routing workloads.  In those
cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written
to.

TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where
PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit.  But
that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics
move to a more sharable location.

Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to
what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout
was necessary.

Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference
count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state,
as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks.

The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into
the writeable cacheline.  This is OK since we are always accessing the
flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the
reference count.

ad86e1f27a netfilter: xt_connlimit: pick right dstaddr in NAT scenario
xt_connlimit normally records the "original" tuples in a hashlist
(such as "1.2.3.4 -> 5.6.7.8"), and looks in this list for iph->daddr
when counting.

When the user however uses DNAT in PREROUTING, looking for
iph->daddr -- which is now 192.168.9.10 -- will not match. Thus in
daddr mode, we need to record the reverse direction tuple
("192.168.9.10 -> 1.2.3.4") instead. In the reverse tuple, the dst
addr is on the src side, which is convenient, as count_them still uses
&conn->tuple.src.u3.

44f5324b5d TCP: fix a bug that triggers large number of TCP RST by mistake
This patch fixes a bug that causes TCP RST packets to be generated
on otherwise correctly behaved applications, e.g., no unread data
on close,..., etc. To trigger the bug, at least two conditions must
be met:

1. The FIN flag is set on the last data packet, i.e., it's not on a
separate, FIN only packet.
2. The size of the last data chunk on the receive side matches
exactly with the size of buffer posted by the receiver, and the
receiver closes the socket without any further read attempt.

This bug was first noticed on our netperf based testbed for our IW10
proposal to IETF where a large number of RST packets were observed.
netperf's read side code meets the condition 2 above 100%.

Before the fix, tcp_data_queue() will queue the last skb that meets
condition 1 to sk_receive_queue even though it has fully copied out
(skb_copy_datagram_iovec()) the data. Then if condition 2 is also met,
tcp_recvmsg() often returns all the copied out data successfully
without actually consuming the skb, due to a check
"if ((chunk = len - tp->ucopy.len) != 0) {"
and
"len -= chunk;"
after tcp_prequeue_process() that causes "len" to become 0 and an
early exit from the big while loop.

I don't see any reason not to free the skb whose data have been fully
consumed in tcp_data_queue(), regardless of the FIN flag.  We won't
get there if MSG_PEEK is on. Am I missing some arcane cases related
to urgent data?

Some drivers (e.g. ath9k) do not always disable beacons when they're
supposed to. When an interface is changed using the change_interface op,
the mode specific sdata part is in an undefined state and trying to
get a beacon at this point can produce weird crashes.

To fix this, add a check for ieee80211_sdata_running before using
anything from the sdata.

because the core semantic change to ipv6 address handling on ifdown
has broken some things, in particular "disable_ipv6" sysctl handling.

Stephen has made several attempts to get things back in working order,
but nothing has restored disable_ipv6 fully yet.
