In DSACK case, some events are not extraordinary, such as packet
duplication generated DSACK. They can arrive easily below
snd_una when undo_marker is not set (TCP being in CA_Open),
counting such DSACKs amoung SACK discards will likely just
mislead if they occur in some scenario when there are other
problems as well. Similarly, excessively delayed packets could
cause "normal" DSACKs. Therefore, separate counters are
allocated for DSACK events.

SACK processing code has been a sort of russian roulette as no
validation of SACK blocks is previously attempted. Besides, it
is not very clear what all kinds of broken SACK blocks really
mean (e.g., one that has start and end sequence numbers
reversed). So now close the roulette once and for all.

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

Previously TCP had a transitional state during which reno
counted segments that are already below the current window into
sacked_out, which is now prevented. In addition, re-try now
the unconditional S+L skb catching.
This approach conservatively calls just remove_sack and leaves
reset_sack() calls alone. The best solution to the whole problem
would be to first calculate the new sacked_out fully (this patch
does not move reno_sack_reset calls from original sites and thus
does not implement this). However, that would require very
invasive change to fastretrans_alert (perhaps even slicing it to
two halves). Alternatively, all callers of tcp_packets_in_flight
(i.e., users that depend on sacked_out) should be postponed
until the new sacked_out has been calculated but it isn't any
simpler alternative.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

mac80211 informs the driver what the short and long retry values are through
set_retry_limit(), but when packets are being transmitted it did not inform the
driver which of the 2 retry limits should actually be used.
Instead it sends the actual value, but for drivers that can only set the retry limit
and the register and in the descriptor need to indicate which of the limits should
be used this is not really useful.
This patch will add a IEEE80211_TXCTL_LONG_RETRY_LIMIT flag to the
ieee80211_tx_control structure. By default the short retry limit should be
used but if the flag is set the long retry should be used.
This does not prevent the driver to ignore the request for "no retry" packets,
but at least those will be send out with the short retry limit. But there is no
perfect cure for this problem.. :(

mac80211 tries this reassociation another 4 times or so before finally giving

1. bringing the interface down and up again should be resetting interface state

"ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not

return;
}
This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:
- The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.
This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore.
The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target
field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux
passes all 245 tests now.

When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
eventually anyway.
In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with
the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they
are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup().
Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key
length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key
uses. This just so happens to work by accident on
little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't.
Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of
the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and
kill off the ugly casts.

This fixes kernel bugzilla #5731
It should generate an empty packet for datagram protocols when the
socket is connected, for one.
The check is doubly-wrong because all that a write() can be is a
sendmsg() call with a NULL msg_control and a single entry iovec. No
special semantics should be assigned to it, therefore the zero length
check should be removed entirely.
This matches the behavior of BSD and several other systems.
Alan Cox notes that SuSv3 says the behavior of a zero length write on
non-files is "unspecified", but that's kind of useless since BSD has
defined this behavior for a quarter century and BSD is essentially
what application folks code to.

Since the sctp_sockaddr_entry is now RCU enabled as part of
the patch to synchronize sctp_localaddr_list, it makes sense to
change all handling of these entries to RCU. This includes the
sctp_bind_addrs structure and it's list of bound addresses.
This list is currently protected by an external rw_lock and that
looks like an overkill. There are only 2 writers to the list:
bind()/bindx() calls, and BH processing of ASCONF-ACK chunks.
These are already seriealized via the socket lock, so they will
not step on each other. These are also relatively rare, so we
should be good with RCU.
The readers are varied and they are easily converted to RCU.

1) Comments suggest that setting optlen to zero will unbind
the socket from whatever device it might be attached to. This
hasn't been the case since at least 2.2.x because the first thing
this function does is return -EINVAL if 'optlen' is less than
sizeof(int).
This check also means that passing in a two byte string doesn't
work so well. It's almost as if this code was testing with "eth?"
patterned strings and nothing else :-)
Fix this by breaking the logic of this facility out into a
seperate function which validates optlen more appropriately.
The optlen==0 and small string cases now work properly.
2) We should reset the cached route of the socket after we have made
the device binding changes, not before.

Some of skbs in sk->write_queue do not have skb->dst because
we do not fill skb->dst when we allocate new skb in append_data().
BTW, I think we may not need to (or we should not) increment some stats
when using corking; if 100 sendmsg() (with MSG_MORE) result in 2 packets,
how many should we increment?
If 100, we should set skb->dst for every queued skbs.
If 1 (or 2 (*)), we increment the stats for the first queued skb and
we should just skip incrementing OutDiscards for the rest of queued skbs,
adn we should also impelement this semantics in other places;
e.g., we should increment other stats just once, not 100 times.
*: depends on the place we are discarding the datagram.

So I've had a deadlock reported to me. I've found that the sequence of
events goes like this:
1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko
2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket,
increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count
3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module
in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine,
which calls nf_unregister_sockopt
4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the
calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the
socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel
4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls
ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load
ip_tables_nat.ko
5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and
blocks until modprobe exits.
6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of
ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one.
7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it
blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in
step 3)
Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've
developed a two part solution that corrects the problem
Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a
use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer
to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt
calls a modules set/get routine. This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4
from happening.
Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking
remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity
request blocking operation. So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you
can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since
root can do any old stupid thing it would like.... :) ).
