10da66f755 fib: avoid false sharing on fib_table_hash
While doing profile analysis, I found fib_hash_table was sometime in a
cache line shared by a possibly often written kernel structure.

(CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH || !CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES)

It's hard to detect because not easily reproductible.

Make sure we allocate a full cache line to keep this shared in all cpus
caches.

a0a4a85a15 fib: remove a useless synchronize_rcu() call
fib_nl_delrule() calls synchronize_rcu() for no apparent reason,
while rtnl is held.

I suspect it was done to avoid an atomic_inc_not_zero() in
fib_rules_lookup(), which commit 7fa7cb7109 added anyway.

There were no curly braces in this if condition so it always enabled full

564824b0c5 net: allocate skbs on local node
commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of
allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to
the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale
network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit
slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus
have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node.

skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short
lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What
appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one.

In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load,
and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second,
needing all the available cpus.

Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the
small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local'
memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations
done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC
hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

6f0333b8fd r8169: use 50% less ram for RX ring
Using standard skb allocations in r8169 leads to order-3 allocations (if
PAGE_SIZE=4096), because NIC needs 16383 bytes, and skb overhead makes
this bigger than 16384 -> 32768 bytes per "skb"

Using kmalloc() permits to reduce memory requirements of one r8169 nic
by 4Mbytes. (256 frames * 16Kbytes). This is fine since a hardware bug
requires us to copy incoming frames, so we build real skb when doing
this copy.

a3ceeeb8f1 cnic: Decouple uio close from cnic shutdown
During cnic shutdown, the original driver code requires userspace to
close the uio device within a few seconds.  This doesn't always happen
as the userapp may be hung or otherwise take a long time to close.  The
system may crash when this happens.

We fix the problem by decoupling the uio structures from the cnic
structures during cnic shutdown.  We do not unregister the uio device
until the cnic driver is unloaded.  This eliminates the unreliable wait
loop for uio to close.

All uio structures are kept in a linked list.  If the device is shutdown
and later brought back up again, the uio strcture will be found in the
linked list and coupled back to the cnic structures.

b3d6255388 Phonet: 'connect' socket implementation for Pipe controller
Based on suggestion by Rémi Denis-Courmont to implement 'connect'
for Pipe controller logic,  this patch implements 'connect' socket
call for the Pipe controller logic.
The patch does following:-
- Removes setsockopts for PNPIPE_CREATE and PNPIPE_DESTROY
- Adds setsockopt for setting the Pipe handle value
- Implements connect socket call
- Updates the Pipe controller logic

User-space should now follow below sequence with Pipe controller:-
-socket
-bind
-setsockopt for PNPIPE_PIPE_HANDLE
-connect
-setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENCAP_IP
-setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENABLE

GPRS/3G data has been tested working fine with this.

29b4433d99 net: percpu net_device refcount

There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we

app servers, mmap af_packet)

We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu
infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes
per device.

d196c9a5d4 dccp: generalise data-loss condition
This patch generalises the task of determining data loss from RFC 4340, 7.7.1.

Let S_A, S_B be sequence numbers such that S_B is "after" S_A, and let
N_B be the NDP count of packet S_B. Then, using modulo-2^48 arithmetic,
 D = S_B - S_A - 1  is an upper bound of the number of lost data packets,
 D - N_B            is an approximation of the number of lost data packets
                    (there are cases where this is not exact).

The patch implements this as
 dccp_loss_count(S_A, S_B, N_B) := max(S_B - S_A - 1 - N_B, 0)

0b53d4604a dccp: fix the adjustments to AWL and SWL
This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno
validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed
once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake.

Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2),
it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first
W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection.

This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time
during the lifetime of a connection.

Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are
updated, as implemented by the patch.

A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window
feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the
feature negotiation has completed.

During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection;
the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct
bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin
feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).

fc66f95c68 net dst: use a percpu_counter to track entries
struct dst_ops tracks number of allocated dst in an atomic_t field,
subject to high cache line contention in stress workload.

Switch to a percpu_counter, to reduce number of time we need to dirty a
central location. Place it on a separate cache line to avoid dirtying
read only fields.

Stress test :

(Sending 160.000.000 UDP frames,
IP route cache disabled, dual E5540 @2.53GHz,
32bit kernel, FIB_TRIE, SLUB/NUMA)

Before:

real    0m51.179s
user    0m15.329s
sys     10m15.942s

After:

real	0m45.570s
user	0m15.525s
sys	9m56.669s

With a small reordering of struct neighbour fields, subject of a
following patch, (to separate refcnt from other read mostly fields)

real	0m41.841s
user	0m15.261s
sys	8m45.949s

0ed8ddf404 neigh: Protect neigh->ha[] with a seqlock
Add a seqlock in struct neighbour to protect neigh->ha[], and avoid
dirtying neighbour in stress situation (many different flows / dsts)

Dirtying takes place because of read_lock(&n->lock) and n->used writes.

Switching to a seqlock, and writing n->used only on jiffies changes
permits less dirtying.

b00916b189 net: clear heap allocations for privileged ethtool actions
Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by
drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes
are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions),
the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace.
Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

0aa7deadff NET: wimax, fix use after free
Stanse found that i2400m_rx frees skb, but still uses skb->len even
though it has skb_len defined. So use skb_len properly in the code.

And also define it unsinged int rather than size_t to solve
compilation warnings.

ec622ab072 ATM: iphase, remove sleep-inside-atomic
Stanse found that ia_init_one locks a spinlock and inside of that it
calls ia_start which calls:
* request_irq
* tx_init which does kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)

Both of them can thus sleep and result in a deadlock. I don't see a
reason to have a per-device spinlock there which is used only there
and inited right before the lock location. So remove it completely.

Stanse found that mpc_push frees skb and then it dereferences it. It
is a typo, new_skb should be dereferenced there.

f1ee89d5b0 ATM: solos-pci, remove use after free
Stanse found we do in console_show:
  kfree_skb(skb);
  return skb->len;
which is not good. Fix that by remembering the len and use it in the
function instead.

34d101dd62 neigh: speedup neigh_hh_init()
When a new dst is used to send a frame, neigh_resolve_output() tries to
associate an struct hh_cache to this dst, calling neigh_hh_init() with
the neigh rwlock write locked.

Most of the time, hh_cache is already known and linked into neighbour,
so we find it and increment its refcount.

This patch changes the logic so that we call neigh_hh_init() with
neighbour lock read locked only, so that fast path can be run in
parallel by concurrent cpus.

This brings part of the speedup we got with commit c7d4426a98
(introduce DST_NOCACHE flag) for non cached dsts, even for cached ones,
removing one of the contention point that routers hit on multiqueue
enabled machines.

Further improvements would need to use a seqlock instead of an rwlock to
protect neigh->ha[], to not dirty neigh too often and remove two atomic
ops.

03c698c93f net/fec: carrier off initially to avoid root mount failure
with hardware slow in negotiation, the system did freeze
while trying to mount root on nfs at boot time.

the link state has not been initialised so network stack
tried to start transmission right away. this caused instant
retries, as the driver solely stated business upon link down,
rendering the system unusable.

notify carrier off initially to prevent transmission until
phylib will report link up.
