876bfd4d0f tun: Extend RTNL lock coverage over whole ioctl
As it is, parts of the ioctl runs under the RTNL and parts of
it do not.  The unlocked section is still protected by the BKL,
but there can be subtle races.  For example, Eric Biederman and
Paul Moore observed that if two threads tried to create two tun
devices on the same file descriptor, then unexpected results
may occur.

As there isn't anything in the ioctl that is expected to sleep
indefinitely, we can prevent this from occurring by extending
the RTNL lock coverage.

This also allows to get rid of the BKL.

Finally, I changed tun_get_iff to take a tun device in order to
avoid calling tun_put which would dead-lock as it also tries to
take the RTNL lock.

d23e43658a tun: Fix device unregister race
It is currently possible for an asynchronous device unregister
to cause the same tun device to be unregistered twice.  This
is because the unregister in tun_chr_close only checks whether
__tun_get(tfile) != NULL.  This however has nothing to do with
whether the device has already been unregistered.  All it tells
you is whether __tun_detach has been called.

This patch fixes this by using the most obvious thing to test
whether the device has been unregistered.

It also moves __tun_detach outside of rtnl_unlock since nothing
that it does requires that lock.

f0a4d0e5b5 tun: Fix unregister race
It is possible for tun_chr_close to race with dellink on the
a tun device.  In which case if __tun_get runs before dellink
but dellink runs before tun_chr_close calls unregister_netdevice
we will attempt to unregister the netdevice after it is already
gone.  

The two cases are already serialized on the rtnl_lock, so I have
gone for the cheap simple fix of moving rtnl_lock to cover __tun_get
in tun_chr_close.  Eliminating the possibility of the tun device
being unregistered between __tun_get and unregister_netdevice in
tun_chr_close.

c722c625db tun: Only wake up writers
When I added socket accounting to tun I inadvertently introduced
spurious wake-up events that kills qemu performance.  The problem
occurs when qemu polls on the tun fd for read, and then transmits
packets.  For each packet transmitted, we will wake up qemu even
if it only cares about read events.

Now this affects all sockets, but it is only a new problem for
tun.  So this patch tries to fix it for tun first and we can then
look at the problem in general.

980c9e8cee tun: add tun_flags, owner, group attributes in sysfs
This patch adds three attribute files in /sys/class/net/$dev/ for tun
devices; allowing userspace to obtain the information which TUNGETIFF
offers, and more, but without having to attach to the device in question
(which may not be possible if it's in use).

It also fixes a bug which has been present in the TUNGETIFF ioctl since
its inception, where it would never set IFF_TUN or IFF_TAP according to
the device type. (Look carefully at the code which I remove from
tun_get_iff() and how the new tun_flags() helper is subtly different).

f85ba78068 tun: add IFF_TUN_EXCL flag to avoid opening a persistent device.
When creating a certain types of VPN, NetworkManager will first attempt
to find an available tun device by iterating through 'vpn%d' until it
finds one that isn't already busy. Then it'll set that to be persistent
and owned by the otherwise unprivileged user that the VPN dæmon itself
runs as.

There's a race condition here -- during the period where the vpn%d
device is created and we're waiting for the VPN dæmon to actually
connect and use it, if we try to create _another_ device we could end up
re-using the same one -- because trying to open it again doesn't get
-EBUSY as it would while it's _actually_ busy.

So solve this, we add an IFF_TUN_EXCL flag which causes tun_set_iff() to
fail if it would be opening an existing persistent tundevice -- so that
we can make sure we're getting an entirely _new_ device.

c40af84a67 tun: Fix sk_sleep races when attaching/detaching
As the sk_sleep wait queue actually lives in tfile, which may be
detached from the tun device, bad things will happen when we use
sk_sleep after detaching.

Since the tun device is the persistent data structure here (when
requested by the user), it makes much more sense to have the wait
queue live there.  There is no reason to have it in tfile at all
since the only time we can wait is if we have a tun attached.
In fact we already have a wait queue in tun_struct, so we might
as well use it.

9c3fea6ab0 tun: Only free a netdev when all tun descriptors are closed
The commit c70f182940 ("tun: Fix
races between tun_net_close and free_netdev") fixed a race where
an asynchronous deletion of a tun device can hose a poll(2) on
a tun fd attached to that device.

However, this came at the cost of moving the tun wait queue into
the tun file data structure.  The problem with this is that it
imposes restrictions on when and where the tun device can access
the wait queue since the tun file may change at any time due to
detaching and reattaching.

In particular, now that we need to use the wait queue on the
receive path it becomes difficult to properly synchronise this
with the detachment of the tun device.

This patch solves the original race in a different way.  Since
the race is only because the underlying memory gets freed, we
can prevent it simply by ensuring that we don't do that until
all tun descriptors ever attached to the device (even if they
have since be detached because they may still be sitting in poll)
have been closed.

This is done by using reference counting the attached tun file
descriptors.  The refcount in tun->sk has been reappropriated
for this purpose since it was already being used for that, albeit
from the opposite angle.

Note that we no longer zero tfile->tun since tun_get will return
NULL anyway after the refcount on tfile hits zero.  Instead it
represents whether this device has ever been attached to a device.

0eca93bcf7 tun: Fix crash with non-GSO users
When I made the tun driver use non-linear packets as the preferred
option, it broke non-GSO users because they would end up allocating

a check to ensure that GSO users can't cause crashes in the same
way.

cfbf84fcbc tun: Fix unicast filter overflow
Tap devices can make use of a small MAC filter set via the
TUNSETTXFILTER ioctl.  The filter has a set of exact matches
plus a hash for imperfect filtering of additional multicast
addresses.  The current code is unbalanced, adding unicast
addresses to the multicast hash, but only checking the hash
against multicast addresses.  This results in the filter
dropping unicast addresses that overflow the exact filter.
The fix is simply to disable the filter by leaving count set
to zero if we find non-multicast addresses after the exact
match table is filled.

33dccbb050 tun: Limit amount of queued packets per device
Unlike a normal socket path, the tuntap device send path does
not have any accounting.  This means that the user-space sender
may be able to pin down arbitrary amounts of kernel memory by
continuing to send data to an end-point that is congested.

Even when this isn't an issue because of limited queueing at
most end points, this can also be a problem because its only
response to congestion is packet loss.  That is, when those
local queues at the end-point fills up, the tuntap device will
start wasting system time because it will continue to send
data there which simply gets dropped straight away.

Of course one could argue that everybody should do congestion
control end-to-end, unfortunately there are people in this world
still hooked on UDP, and they don't appear to be going away
anywhere fast.  In fact, we've always helped them by performing
accounting in our UDP code, the sole purpose of which is to
provide congestion feedback other than through packet loss.

This patch attempts to apply the same bandaid to the tuntap device.
It creates a pseudo-socket object which is used to account our
packets just as a normal socket does for UDP.  Of course things
are a little complex because we're actually reinjecting traffic
back into the stack rather than out of the stack.

The stack complexities however should have been resolved by preceding
patches.  So this one can simply start using skb_set_owner_w.

For now the accounting is essentially disabled by default for
backwards compatibility.  In particular, we set the cap to INT_MAX.
This is so that existing applications don't get confused by the
sudden arrival EAGAIN errors.

In future we may wish (or be forced to) do this by default.

c70f182940 tun: Fix races between tun_net_close and free_netdev.
The tun code does not cope gracefully if the network device goes away before
the tun file descriptor is closed.  It looks like we can trigger this with
rmmod, and moving tun devices between network namespaces will allow this
to be triggered when network namespaces exit.

To fix this I introduce an intermediate data structure tun_file which
holds a count of users and a pointer to the struct tun_struct.  tun_get
increments that reference count if it is greater than 0.  tun_put decrements
that reference count and detaches from the network device if the count is 0.

While we have a file attached to the network device I hold a reference
to the network device keeping it from going away completely.

When a network device is unregistered I decrement the count of the
attached tun_file and if that was the last user I detach the tun_file,
and all processes on read_wait are woken up to ensure they do not
sleep indefinitely. As some of those sleeps happen with the count on
the tun device elevated waking up the read waiters ensures that
tun_file will be detached in a timely manner.

Fixed trivial IPv4/6 address printing conflicts in fs/cifs/connect.c due
to the conversion to %pI (in this networking merge) and the addition of
doing IPv6 addresses (from the earlier merge of CIFS).

008298231a netdev: add more functions to netdevice ops
This patch moves neigh_setup and hard_start_xmit into the network device ops
structure. For bisection, fix all the previously converted drivers as well.
Bonding driver took the biggest hit on this.

Added a prefetch of the hard_start_xmit in the fast path to try and reduce
any impact this would have.

ee9785ada3 CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the network device drivers
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id().  In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

babcda74e9 drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

233e70f422 saner FASYNC handling on file close
As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.

So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

e174961ca1 net: convert print_mac to %pM
This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
now, no harm done.

I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

f42157cb56 tun: fallback if skb_alloc() fails on big packets
skb_alloc produces linear packets (using kmalloc()).  That can fail,
so should we fall back to making paged skbs.

My original version of this patch always allocate paged skbs for big
packets.  But that made performance drop from 8.4 seconds to 8.8
seconds on 1G lguest->Host TCP xmit.  So now we only do that as a
fallback.

e3b9955697 tun: TUNGETIFF interface to query name and flags
Add a TUNGETIFF interface so that userspace can query a
tun/tap descriptor for its name and flags.

This is needed because it is common for one app to create
a tap interface, exec another app and pass it the file
descriptor for the interface. Without TUNGETIFF the spawned
app has no way of detecting wheter the interface has e.g.
IFF_VNET_HDR set.
