4045e57c19 netns: ip6mr: declare counter cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace
Preliminary work to make IPv6 multicast forwarding netns-aware.

Declare variable cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace: moves it into
struct netns_ipv6.

This variable counts the number of unresolved cache entries queued in the
list mfc_unres_queue. This list is kept global to all netns as the number
of entries per namespace is limited to 10 (hardcoded in routine 
ip6mr_cache_unresolved).
Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be
identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in 
struct mfc6_cache.

Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single
timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration.
In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming 
or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing 
mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch.

At the moment, cache_resolve_queue_len is only referenced in init_net.

58701ad411 netns: ip6mr: store netns in struct mfc6_cache
This patch stores into struct mfc6_cache the network namespace each
mfc6_cache belongs to. The new member is mfc6_net.

mfc6_net is assigned at cache allocation and doesn't change during
the rest of the cache entry life.

This will help to retrieve the current netns around the IPv6 multicast
forwarding code.

At the moment, all mfc6_cache are allocated in init_net.

999890b21a net: /proc/net/ip_mr_cache, display Iif as a signed short
Today, iproute2 fails to show multicast forwarding unresolved cache
entries while scanning /proc/net/ip_mr_cache.

Indeed, it expects to see -1 in 'Iif' column to identify unresolved
entries but the kernel outputs 65535. It's a signed/unsigned issue:

'Iif', the source interface, is retrieved from member mfc_parent in
struct mfc_cache. mfc_parent is a vifi_t: unsigned short, but is
displayed in ipmr_mfc_seq_show() as "%-3d", signed integer.

In unresolevd entries, the 65535 value (0xFFFF) comes from this define:
#define ALL_VIFS    ((vifi_t)(-1))

That may explains why the guy who added support for this in iproute2
thought a -1 should be expected.

I don't know if this must be fixed in kernel or in iproute2. Who is
right? What is the correct API? How was it designed originally?

I let you decide if it should goes in the kernel or be fixed in iproute2.

1ea472e2de net: fix /proc/net/ip_mr_cache display - V2
/proc/net/ip_mr_cache and /proc/net/ip6_mr_cache displays garbage when
showing unresolved mfc_cache entries.

[root@qemu tests]# cat /proc/net/ip_mr_cache
Group    Origin   Iif     Pkts    Bytes    Wrong Oifs
014C00EF 010014AC 1         10    10050        0  2:1    3:1
024C00EF 010014AC 65535      514        2 -559067475

The first line is correct. It is a resolved cache entry, 10 packets used it...
The second line represents an unresolved entry, and the columns Pkts(4th),
Bytes(5th) and Wrong(6th) just show garbage.

In struct mfc_cache, there's an union to store data for resolved and
unresolved cases. And what ipmr_mfc_seq_show() is printing in these 
columns for the unresolved entries is some bytes from mfc_cache.mfc_un.res.
Bad.
(eg. In our case -559067475 is in fact 0xdead4ead which is the spinlock
magic from mfc_cache.mfc_un.unres.unresolved.lock.magic).

This patch replaces the garbage data written in these columns for the
unresolved entries by '0' (zeros) which is more correct.
This change doesn't break the ABI.

Also, mfc->mfc_un.res.pkt, mfc->mfc_un.res.bytes, mfc->mfc_un.res.wrong_if
are unsigned long.

It applies on top of net-next-2.6.

The patch for net-2.6 is slightly different because of the NIP6_FMT to
%pI6 conversion that was made in the seq_printf.

Changelog:
==========
V2:
* Instead of breaking the ABI by suppressing the columns that have no
  meaning for unresolved entries, fill them with 0 values.

be77e59307 net: fix tunnels in netns after ndo_ changes
dev_net_set() should be the very first thing after alloc_netdev().

"ndo_" changes turned simple assignment (which is OK to do before netns
assignment) into quite non-trivial operation (which is not OK, init_net was
used). This leads to incomplete initialisation of tunnel device in netns.

c25eb3bfb9 net: Convert TCP/DCCP listening hash tables to use RCU
This is the last step to be able to perform full RCU lookups
in __inet_lookup() : After established/timewait tables, we
add RCU lookups to listening hash table.

The only trick here is that a socket of a given type (TCP ipv4,
TCP ipv6, ...) can now flight between two different tables
(established and listening) during a RCU grace period, so we
must use different 'nulls' end-of-chain values for two tables.

We define a large value :

#define LISTENING_NULLS_BASE (1U << 29)

So that slots in listening table are guaranteed to have different
end-of-chain values than slots in established table. A reader can
still detect it finished its lookup in the right chain.

3ab5aee7fe net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls
RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure :
- sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the
  price of call_rcu() at freeing time.
- hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers.

This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established
and timewait sockets.

Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications
using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting
rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case.

__inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to
dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock)

88ab1932ea udp: Use hlist_nulls in UDP RCU code
This is a straightforward patch, using hlist_nulls infrastructure.

RCUification already done on UDP two weeks ago.

Using hlist_nulls permits us to avoid some memory barriers, both
at lookup time and delete time.

Patch is large because it adds new macros to include/net/sock.h.
These macros will be used by TCP & DCCP in next patch.

6e093d9dff ipv6: routing header fixes
This patch fixes two bugs:

1. setsockopt() of anything but a Type 2 routing header should return
EINVAL instead of EPERM.  Noticed by Shan Wei
(shanwei@cn.fujitsu.com).

2. setsockopt()/sendmsg() of a Type 2 routing header with invalid
length or segments should return EINVAL.  These values are statically
fixed in RFC 3775, unlike the variable Type 0 was.

87b30a6530 ipv6: fix ip6_mr_init error path
The order of cleanup operations in the error/exit section of ip6_mr_init()
is completely inversed. It should be the other way around.
Also a del_timer() is missing in the error path.

305d552acc bonding: send IPv6 neighbor advertisement on failover
This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices,
especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses
configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko.

- Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the
   IPv6-specific routines.  Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds
   are supported.

- Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited
   IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event.
   Default is 1.

- Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions:

   ndisc_build_skb()
   ndisc_send_skb()

   These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to
   add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends
   shouldn't be asked to do this.  These two routines are basically
   __ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order.

- Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond
   support to 3.4.0.

On failover, this new code will generate one packet:

- An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch
   learn that the address has moved to the new slave.

Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good
behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

e3ec6cfc26 ipv6: fix run pending DAD when interface becomes ready
With some net devices types, an IPv6 address configured while the
interface was down can stay 'tentative' forever, even after the interface
is set up. In some case, pending IPv6 DADs are not executed when the
device becomes ready.

I observed this while doing some tests with kvm. If I assign an IPv6 
address to my interface eth0 (kvm driver rtl8139) when it is still down
then the address is flagged tentative (IFA_F_TENTATIVE). Then, I set
eth0 up, and to my surprise, the address stays 'tentative', no DAD is
executed and the address can't be pinged.

I also observed the same behaviour, without kvm, with virtual interfaces
types macvlan and veth.

Some easy steps to reproduce the issue with macvlan:

1. ip link add link eth0 type macvlan
2. ip -6 addr add 2003::ab32/64 dev macvlan0
3. ip addr show dev macvlan0
   ... 
   inet6 2003::ab32/64 scope global tentative
   ...
4. ip link set macvlan0 up
5. ip addr show dev macvlan0
   ...
   inet6 2003::ab32/64 scope global tentative
   ...
   Address is still tentative

I think there's a bug in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, addrconf_notify():
addrconf_dad_run() is not always run when the interface is flagged IF_READY.
Currently it is only run when receiving NETDEV_CHANGE event. Looks like
some (virtual) devices doesn't send this event when becoming up.

For both NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_CHANGE events, when the interface becomes
ready, run_pending should be set to 1. Patch below.

'run_pending = 1' could be moved below the if/else block but it makes 
the code less readable.
