a7ae199224 ipv6: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE
ipv6: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE

The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived.  It applies the
alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom.  As
the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom
with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.

This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE in net/ipv6
with the macro LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to
needed_tailroom.

This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between
allocating the skb and reserving the head room.

adc9300e78 net: use jump_label to shortcut RPS if not setup
Most machines dont use RPS/RFS, and pay a fair amount of instructions in
netif_receive_skb() / netif_rx() / get_rps_cpu() just to discover
RPS/RFS is not setup.

Add a jump_label named rps_needed.

If no device rps_map or global rps_sock_flow_table is setup,
netif_receive_skb() / netif_rx() do a single instruction instead of many
ones, including conditional jumps.

jmp +0    (if CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y)

14df015bb1 IPV6 Fix a crash when trying to replace non existing route
This patch fixes a crash when non existing IPv6 route is tried to be changed.

When new destination node was inserted in middle of FIB6 tree, no relevant
sanity checks were performed. Later route insertion might have been prevented
due to invalid request, causing node with no rt info being left in tree.
When this node was accessed, a crash occurred.

Patch adds missing checks in fib6_add_1()

For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

This avoids 3 conditional branches per incoming packet in fast path.

No measurable difference, given that these conditional branches are

4a287eba2d IPv6 routing, NLM_F_* flag support: REPLACE and EXCL flags support, warn about missing CREATE flag
The support for NLM_F_* flags at IPv6 routing requests.

If NLM_F_CREATE flag is not defined for RTM_NEWROUTE request,
warning is printed, but no error is returned. Instead new route is
added. Later NLM_F_CREATE may be required for
new route creation.

Exception is when NLM_F_REPLACE flag is given without NLM_F_CREATE, and
no matching route is found. In this case it should be safe to assume
that the request issuer is familiar with NLM_F_* flags, and does really
not want route to be created.

Specifying NLM_F_REPLACE flag will now make the kernel to search for
matching route, and replace it with new one. If no route is found and
NLM_F_CREATE is specified as well, then new route is created.

Also, specifying NLM_F_EXCL will yield returning of error if matching
route is found.

b2b5ce9d1c net: introduce build_skb()
One of the thing we discussed during netdev 2011 conference was the idea
to change some network drivers to allocate/populate their skb at RX
completion time, right before feeding the skb to network stack.

In old days, we allocated skbs when populating the RX ring.

This means bringing into cpu cache sk_buff and skb_shared_info cache
lines (since we clear/initialize them), then 'queue' skb->data to NIC.

By the time NIC fills a frame in skb->data buffer and host can process
it, cpu probably threw away the cache lines from its caches, because lot
of things happened between the allocation and final use.

So the deal would be to allocate only the data buffer for the NIC to
populate its RX ring buffer. And use build_skb() at RX completion to
attach a data buffer (now filled with an ethernet frame) to a new skb,
initialize the skb_shared_info portion, and give the hot skb to network
stack.

build_skb() is the function to allocate an skb, caller providing the
data buffer that should be attached to it. Drivers are expected to call
skb_reserve() right after build_skb() to adjust skb->data to the
Ethernet frame (usually skipping NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN, but some
drivers might add a hardware provided alignment)

Data provided to build_skb() MUST have been allocated by a prior
kmalloc() call, with enough room to add SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct
skb_shared_info)) bytes at the end of the data without corrupting
incoming frame.

data = kmalloc(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + 1536 +
               SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)),
	       GFP_ATOMIC);
...
skb = build_skb(data);
if (!skb) {
	recycle_data(data);
} else {
	skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN);
	...
}

[PATCH V5 net-next] neigh: new unresolved queue limits

unres_qlen is the number of frames we are able to queue per unresolved
neighbour. Its default value (3) was never changed and is responsible
for strange drops, especially if IP fragments are used, or multiple
sessions start in parallel. Even a single tcp flow can hit this limit.

$ arp -d 192.168.20.108 ; ping -c 2 -s 8000 192.168.20.108
PING 192.168.20.108 (192.168.20.108) 8000(8028) bytes of data.

2a24444f8f ipv6: reduce percpu needs for icmpv6msg mibs
Reading /proc/net/snmp6 on a machine with a lot of cpus is very
expensive (can be ~88000 us).

This is because ICMPV6MSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding
values for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory (32MBytes on
non x86 arches)

ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and
eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic
operation instead of using percpu data.

This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace.

net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function ‘nl80211_tx_mgmt’:
net/wireless/nl80211.c:5286:8: warning: ‘hdr’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Evidently, his version of gcc isn't able to see that
when "msg" is initialized, "hdr" must also be. My
gcc, 4.6.1, can actually see that and doesn't warn.
Simply initialize the variable to NULL. That means
if the compiler was ever right we'll crash though so
isn't really optimal since it may hide warnings from
the compiler when somebody modifies this code in the
future.

07ef03ee8b mac80211: simplify scan state machine
Attempting to micro-optimise the scan by going
fully live again when scanning the operating
channel just made the code extremely complex
and has little gain in most use cases. Remove
all that code and simplify the state machine
again.

d64cf63e06 mac80211: init rate-control for TDLS sta when supp-rates are known
Initialize rate control algorithms only when supported rates are known
for a TDLS peer sta. Direct Tx between peers is not allowed before the
link is enabled. In turn, this only occurs after a change_station()
call that sets supported rates.

dd9dfb9f95 cfg80211: merge in beacon ies of hidden bss.
The problem with PSM when a hidden SSID was used was originally
reported by Juuso Oikarinen.

 - When generally scanning, the AP is getting a bss entry with
   a zero SSID.
 - When associating, a probe-req is sent to the AP with the SSID,
   and as a result a probe-response is received with the hidden
   SSID in place. As a consequence, a second bss entry is created
   for the AP, now with the real SSID.
 - After association, mac80211 executes ieee80211_recalc_ps(),
   but does not switch to powersave because the beacon-ies are missing.

As result, the STA does not ever enter PSM.

The patch merges in beacon ies of hidden bss from beacon to the probe
response, creating a consistent set of ies in place.

Patch is depended on "cfg80211: fix cmp_ies" made by Johannes.

OK I found it, I did some extra tests and believe its ready.

[PATCH net-next] ipv4: IP_PKTINFO doesnt need dst reference

When a socket uses IP_PKTINFO notifications, we currently force a dst
reference for each received skb. Reader has to access dst to get needed
information (rt_iif & rt_spec_dst) and must release dst reference.

We also forced a dst reference if skb was put in socket backlog, even
without IP_PKTINFO handling. This happens under stress/load.

We can instead store the needed information in skb->cb[], so that only
softirq handler really access dst, improving cache hit ratios.

This removes two atomic operations per packet, and false sharing as
well.

On a benchmark using a mono threaded receiver (doing only recvmsg()
calls), I can reach 720.000 pps instead of 570.000 pps.

IP_PKTINFO is typically used by DNS servers, and any multihomed aware
UDP application.
