2013-11-19genetlink: pass family to functions using groupsJohannes Berg
This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID within the family, rather than the global group ID. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-11-19genetlink: add and use genl_set_err()Johannes Berg
Add a static inline to generic netlink to wrap netlink_set_err() to make it easier to use here - use it in openvswitch (the only generic netlink user of netlink_set_err()). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-11-19quota/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIsJohannes Berg
The quota code is abusing the genetlink API and is using its family ID as the multicast group ID, which is invalid and may belong to somebody else (and likely will.) Make the quota code use the correct API, but since this is already used as-is by userspace, reserve a family ID for this code and also reserve that group ID to not break userspace assumptions.

2013-11-19drop_monitor/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIsJohannes Berg
The drop monitor code is abusing the genetlink API and is statically using the generic netlink multicast group 1, even if that group belongs to somebody else (which it invariably will, since it's not reserved.) Make the drop monitor code use the proper APIs to reserve a group ID, but also reserve the group id 1 in generic netlink code to preserve the userspace API. Since drop monitor can be a module, don't clear the bit for it on unregistration.

2013-11-19genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops()Johannes Berg
As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

2013-11-19tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair modeAndrey Vagin
snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head. Otherwise tp->packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic. Here is a kernel panic from my host. [ 103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048 [ 103.044025] IP: [<ffffffff815aaaaf>] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150 ... [ 146.301158] Call Trace: [ 146.301158] [<ffffffff815ab7f0>] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0 Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode, then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode. In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this: snd_una snd_nxt write_seq |_________|________| | sk_send_head After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was changed: snd_una snd_nxt, write_seq |_________ ________| | sk_send_head This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized. Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized. In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when sk_write_queue is empty. tcp_write_wakeup skb = tcp_send_head(sk); tcp_fragment if (!before(tp->snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)->end_seq)) tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff); tcp_event_new_data_sent tp->packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb); I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from repair mode. Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent, so it's always is in consistent state. I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.

Secondary unicast MAC addresses will get deleted only when the interface is UP. When the interface is DOWN, though these secondary MAC addresses are unusable and awaiting to be deleted, cause the firmware to believe that they are being used.

2013-11-18bnx2x: prevent CFC attentionDmitry Kravkov
During VF load, prior to sending messages on HW channel to PF the VF checks its bulletin board to see whether the PF indicated it has closed; If a closed PF is encountered, the VF skips sending the message. Due to incorrect return values, there's a possible scenario in which the VF finishes loading "successfully", while the PF hasn't actually fully configured FW/HW for the VFs supposed configuration. Once VF tries to send Tx packets, HW will raise an attention (and FW possibly will start treat the VF as malicious). The patch fails the loading process in such a scenario.

2013-11-18xen-netfront: fix missing rx_refill_timer when allocate memory failedMa JieYue
There was a bug in xennet_alloc_rx_buffers, when allocating page or sk_buff failed, and at the same time rx_batch queue not empty, the rx_refill_timer timer won't be scheduled. If finally the remaining request buffers in rx ring less than what backend driver expected, the backend driver would think of rx ring as full and start dropping packets. In such situation, there is no way for the netfront driver to recover automatically, so that the device can not work properly. The patch fixes the problem by always scheduling rx_refill_timer timer when alloc_page or __netdev_alloc_skb fails, no matter whether rx_batch queue is empty or not. It ensures that the rx ring request buffers will finally meet the backend needs. Signed-off-by: Ma JieYue <jieyue.majy@alibaba-inc.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-11-15net: Handle CHECKSUM_COMPLETE more adequately in pskb_trim_rcsum().David S. Miller
Currently pskb_trim_rcsum() just balks on CHECKSUM_COMPLETE packets and remarks them as CHECKSUM_NONE, forcing a software checksum validation later.

2013-11-15pkt_sched: fq: fix pacing for small framesEric Dumazet
For performance reasons, sch_fq tried hard to not setup timers for every sent packet, using a quantum based heuristic : A delay is setup only if the flow exhausted its credit. Problem is that application limited flows can refill their credit for every queued packet, and they can evade pacing. This problem can also be triggered when TCP flows use small MSS values, as TSO auto sizing builds packets that are smaller than the default fq quantum (3028 bytes) This patch adds a 40 ms delay to guard flow credit refill.

2013-11-14virtio-net: mergeable buffer size should include virtio-net headerMichael Dalton
Commit 2613af0ed18a ("virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators") changed the mergeable receive buffer size from PAGE_SIZE to MTU-size. However, the merge buffer size does not take into account the size of the virtio-net header. Consequently, packets that are MTU-size will take two buffers intead of one (to store the virtio-net header), substantially decreasing the throughput of MTU-size traffic due to TCP window / SKB truesize effects. This commit changes the mergeable buffer size to include the virtio-net header. The buffer size is cacheline-aligned because skb_page_frag_refill will not automatically align the requested size. Benchmarks taken from an average of 5 netperf 30-second TCP_STREAM runs between two QEMU VMs on a single physical machine. Each VM has two VCPUs and vhost enabled. All VMs and vhost threads run in a single 4 CPU cgroup cpuset, using cgroups to ensure that other processes in the system will not be scheduled on the benchmark CPUs. Transmit offloads and mergeable receive buffers are enabled, but guest_tso4 / guest_csum are explicitly disabled to force MTU-sized packets on the receiver. next-net trunk before 2613af0ed18a (PAGE_SIZE buf): 3861.08Gb/s net-next trunk (MTU 1500- packet uses two buf due to size bug): 4076.62Gb/s net-next trunk (MTU 1480- packet fits in one buf): 6301.34Gb/s net-next trunk w/ size fix (MTU 1500 - packet fits in one buf): 6445.44Gb/s Suggested-by: Eric Northup <digitaleric@google.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Dalton <mwdalton@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In af3e095a1fb4, Erik Jacobsen fixed one type of unaligned access bug for ia64 by converting a 64-bit write to use put_unaligned(). Unfortunately, since gcc will convert a short memset() to a series of appropriately-aligned stores, the problem is now visible again on tilegx, where the memset that zeros out proc_event is converted to three 64-bit stores, causing an unaligned access panic. A better fix for the original problem is to ensure that proc_event is aligned to 8 bytes here. We can do that relatively easily by arranging to start the struct cn_msg aligned to 8 bytes and then offset by 4 bytes. Doing so means that the immediately following proc_event structure is then correctly aligned to 8 bytes. The result is that the memset() stores are now aligned, and as an added benefit, we can remove the put_unaligned() calls in the code.

2013-11-14pkt_sched: fq: change classification of control packetsMaciej Żenczykowski
Initial sch_fq implementation copied code from pfifo_fast to classify a packet as a high prio packet. This clashes with setups using PRIO with say 7 bands, as one of the band could be incorrectly (mis)classified by FQ. Packets would be queued in the 'internal' queue, and no pacing ever happen for this special queue.

2013-11-14Merge branch 'genetlink'David S. Miller
Johannes Berg says: ==================== genetlink: reduce ops size and complexity (v2) As before - reduce the complexity and data/code size of genetlink ops by making them an array rather than a linked list. Most users already use an array thanks to genl_register_family_with_ops(), so convert the remaining ones allowing us to get rid of the list head in each op. Also make them const, this just makes sense at that point and the security people like making function pointers const as well :-) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-14genetlink: make genl_ops flags a u8 and move to endJohannes Berg
To save some space in the struct on 32-bit systems, make the flags a u8 (only 4 bits are used) and also move them to the end of the struct. This has no impact on 64-bit systems as alignment of the struct in an array uses up the space anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-14genetlink: make all genl_ops users constJohannes Berg
Now that genl_ops are no longer modified in place when registering, they can be made const. This patch was done mostly with spatch: @@ identifier ops; @@ +const struct genl_ops ops[] = { ... }; (except the struct thing in net/openvswitch/datapath.c) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-14genetlink: allow making ops constJohannes Berg
Allow making the ops array const by not modifying the ops flags on registration but rather only when ops are sent out in the family information. No users are updated yet except for the pre_doit/post_doit calls in wireless (the only ones that exist now.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-14genetlink: register family ops as arrayJohannes Berg
Instead of using a linked list, use an array. This reduces the data size needed by the users of genetlink, for example in wireless (net/wireless/nl80211.c) on 64-bit it frees up over 1K of data space. Remove the attempted sending of CTRL_CMD_NEWOPS ctrl event since genl_ctrl_event(CTRL_CMD_NEWOPS, ...) only returns -EINVAL anyway, therefore no such event could ever be sent.
