8a4eb5734e net: introduce rx_handler results and logic around that
This patch allows rx_handlers to better signalize what to do next to
it's caller. That makes skb->deliver_no_wcard no longer needed.

kernel-doc for rx_handler_result is taken from Nicolas' patch.

05aebe2e5d pktgen: bug fix in transmission headers with frags=0
(bug introduced by commit 26ad787962
(pktgen: speedup fragmented skbs)

The headers of pktgen were incorrectly added in a pktgen packet
without frags (frags=0). There was an offset in the pktgen headers.

The cause was in reusing the pgh variable as a return variable in skb_put
when adding the payload to the skb.

8909c9ad8f net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules
Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/.  This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**.  However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases.  This fixes CVE-2011-1019.

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

Even if device is freed without touching its unreg_list (and therefore
touching the previous memory location holding LISTE_HEAD(single), better
close the bug for good, since its really subtle.

(Same fix for default_device_exit_batch() for completeness)

f87e6f4793 net: dont leave active on stack LIST_HEAD
Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions
that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that
was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited,
so its stack was freed and reused).

Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
443457242b (net: factorize
sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many)

This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their
respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.

5c56580b74 net: Adjust TX queue kobjects if number of queues changes during unregister
If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's
ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues,
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device
unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is
destroyed.  Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects
to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0.

before this commit, tun also uses group sysfs, so after this
commit checkin, kernel warns like this:
    sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/net/vnet0/group'

Since tun has used this for years, rename sysfs under tun might
break existing userspace, so rename group sysfs entry for net device
group is a better choice.

8d3bdbd55a net: Fix lockdep regression caused by initializing netdev queues too early.
In commit aa94210411 ("net: init ingress
queue") we moved the allocation and lock initialization of the queues
into alloc_netdev_mq() since register_netdevice() is way too late.

The problem is that dev->type is not setup until the setup()
callback is invoked by alloc_netdev_mq(), and the dev->type is
what determines the lockdep class to use for the locks in the
queues.

Fix this by doing the queue allocation after the setup() callback
runs.

This is safe because the setup() callback is not allowed to make any
state changes that need to be undone on error (memory allocations,
etc.).  It may, however, make state changes that are undone by
free_netdev() (such as netif_napi_add(), which is done by the
ipoib driver's setup routine).

The previous code also leaked a reference to the &init_net namespace
object on RX/TX queue allocation failures.

Like Herbert's change from a few days ago:

66c46d741e gro: Reset dev pointer on reuse

this may not be necessary at this point, but we should still clean up
the skb->skb_iif.  If not we may end up with an invalid valid for
skb->skb_iif when the skb is reused and the check is done in
__netif_receive_skb.

    net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.

    There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
    network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
    to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
    with a well known name.

    We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
    for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
    that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
    logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

    In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
    to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
    device source network namespace.

Where apparently I forgot to add error handling to the path where we create
a new network device in a new network namespace, and pass in an invalid pid.

66c46d741e gro: Reset dev pointer on reuse
On older kernels the VLAN code may zero skb->dev before dropping
it and causing it to be reused by GRO.

Unfortunately we didn't reset skb->dev in that case which causes
the next GRO user to get a bogus skb->dev pointer.

This particular problem no longer happens with the current upstream
kernel due to changes in VLAN processing.

However, for correctness we should still reset the skb->dev pointer
in the GRO reuse function in case a future user does the same thing.

The rcu_dereference() call should be done _before_ testing the end of

changes net_device list under us.

62fa8a846d net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write.

Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location.
If a routing table entry exists, it will point there.  Else it will
point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'.

The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the
metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store
more states.

For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc.
However future enhancements will change this to place the writable
metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing.  Very likely
this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache.

Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail
if we cannot COW the metrics successfully.

But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and
increase cache locality especially for routing workloads.  In those
cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written
to.

TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where
PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit.  But
that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics
move to a more sharable location.

Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to
what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout
was necessary.

Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference
count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state,
as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks.

The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into
the writeable cacheline.  This is OK since we are always accessing the
flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the
reference count.

queues for which completions are handled nearest to them.

2. Implement net_device_ops::ndo_rx_flow_steer.  This operation adds
or replaces a filter steering the given flow to the given RX queue, if
possible.

d1dc7abf2f GRO: fix merging a paged skb after non-paged skbs
Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They
were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow
arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[].

Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust
the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and
size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb:
 ->data_len is not decreased at all.
 ->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag.
Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return
-EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall.

In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the
driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using
napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is
reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver
decides to switch from the former to the latter.

Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat:
 - on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null
 - on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero
 - on machine1:
   echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method  # use skbs
   echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method  # use pages
 - See that nc has quit suddenly.

[v2: Modified by Eric Dumazet to avoid advancing skb->data past the end
     and to use a temporary variable.]

Commit 941666c2e3 "net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and

"arp -Ds 192.168.2.41 eth0 pub" triggered the ASSERT_RTNL() assert
in pneigh_lookup()

Removing RTNL requirement from arp_ioctl() was a mistake, just revert

ffa934f192 rtnetlink: fix link attribute validation with IFLA_GROUP
rtnl_group_changelink() is invoked by rtnl_newlink() before the link
attributes have been validated. Additionally the group changes are
performed even if NLM_F_CREATE is specified and a new link is
created, while more reasonable semantics would be to set the group
value on the newly created link.

Fix both problems by moving the rtnl_group_changelink() invocation
down to the handling of non-existant links without NLM_F_CREATE()
and add a dev_set_group() call to rtnl_create_link().

a2da570d62 net_sched: RCU conversion of stab
This patch converts stab qdisc management to RCU, so that we can perform
the qdisc_calculate_pkt_len() call before getting qdisc lock.

This shortens the lock's held time in __dev_xmit_skb().

This permits more qdiscs to get TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS status, avoiding lot of

4f57c087de net: implement mechanism for HW based QOS
This patch provides a mechanism for lower layer devices to
steer traffic using skb->priority to tx queues. This allows
for hardware based QOS schemes to use the default qdisc without
incurring the penalties related to global state and the qdisc
lock. While reliably receiving skbs on the correct tx ring
to avoid head of line blocking resulting from shuffling in
the LLD. Finally, all the goodness from txq caching and xps/rps
can still be leveraged.

Many drivers and hardware exist with the ability to implement
QOS schemes in the hardware but currently these drivers tend
to rely on firmware to reroute specific traffic, a driver
specific select_queue or the queue_mapping action in the
qdisc.

By using select_queue for this drivers need to be updated for
each and every traffic type and we lose the goodness of much
of the upstream work. Firmware solutions are inherently
inflexible. And finally if admins are expected to build a
qdisc and filter rules to steer traffic this requires knowledge
of how the hardware is currently configured. The number of tx
queues and the queue offsets may change depending on resources.
Also this approach incurs all the overhead of a qdisc with filters.

With the mechanism in this patch users can set skb priority using
expected methods ie setsockopt() or the stack can set the priority
directly. Then the skb will be steered to the correct tx queues
aligned with hardware QOS traffic classes. In the normal case with
single traffic class and all queues in this class everything
works as is until the LLD enables multiple tcs.

To steer the skb we mask out the lower 4 bits of the priority
and allow the hardware to configure upto 15 distinct classes
of traffic. This is expected to be sufficient for most applications
at any rate it is more then the 8021Q spec designates and is
equal to the number of prio bands currently implemented in
the default qdisc.

This in conjunction with a userspace application such as
lldpad can be used to implement 8021Q transmission selection
algorithms one of these algorithms being the extended transmission
selection algorithm currently being used for DCB.

1ac9ad1394 net: remove dev_txq_stats_fold()
After recent changes, (percpu stats on vlan/tunnels...), we dont need
anymore per struct netdev_queue tx_bytes/tx_packets/tx_dropped counters.

Only remaining users are ixgbe, sch_teql, gianfar & macvlan :

1) ixgbe can be converted to use existing tx_ring counters.

2) macvlan incremented txq->tx_dropped, it can use the
dev->stats.tx_dropped counter.

3) sch_teql : almost revert ab35cd4b8f (Use net_device internal stats)
    Now we have ndo_get_stats64(), use it, even for "unsigned long"
fields (No need to bring back a struct net_device_stats)

4) gianfar adds a stats structure per tx queue to hold
tx_bytes/tx_packets

This removes a lockdep warning (and possible lockup) in rndis gadget,
calling dev_get_stats() from hard IRQ context.

We currently only have software fallback for one type of checksum: the

offloading for a different type of checksum (FCoE, SCTP) must directly
check the device's features and do the right thing ahead of time.  By
the time we get to dev_can_checksum(), we're only deciding whether to
apply the one algorithm in software or hardware.  NETIF_F_HW_CSUM has the
same capabilities as the software version, so we should always use it if
present.  The primary advantage of this is multiply tagged vlans can use
hardware checksumming.

2c6607c611 net: add POLLPRI to sock_def_readable()
Leonardo Chiquitto found poll() could block forever on tcp sockets and
Urgent data was received, if the event flag only contains POLLPRI.

He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e023 (poll: avoid extra
wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem.

Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for
their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal
POLLPRI.

Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags
might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a
seldom used feature this seems a good compromise.

Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test
program as well.

12b16dadbc filter: optimize accesses to ancillary data
We can translate pseudo load instructions at filter check time to
dedicated instructions to speed up filtering and avoid one switch().
libpcap currently uses SKF_AD_PROTOCOL, but custom filters probably use
other ancillary accesses.

Note : I made the assertion that ancillary data was always accessed with
BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_ABS instructions, not with BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_IND ones
(offset given by K constant, not by K + X register)

On x86_64, this saves a few bytes of text :

# size net/core/filter.o.*

[PATCH net-next-2.6] net: timestamp cloned packet in dev_queue_xmit_nit

Now we do one clone of skb if at least one sniffer might take packet,
we also can do the skb timestamping on the clone and let original packet
unchanged.

This is a generalization of commit 8caf153974 (net: sch_netem: Fix an
inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.)

This way, we can have a good idea when packets are delivered to our
stack (tcpdump -i ifb0), while a tcpdump on original device gives
timestamps right before ingressing.

This also speedup our stack, avoiding taking timestamps if not needed.

a8d764b983 pktgen: adding prefetchw() call
We know for sure pktgen is going to write skb->data right after
*_alloc_skb, causing unnecessary cache misses.

Idea is to add a prefetchw() call to prefetch the first cache line
indicated by skb->data. On systems with Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch,
it's probably two cache lines are prefetched.

With this patch, pktgen on Intel SR1625 server with two E5530
quad-core processors and a single ixgbe-based NIC went from 8.63Mpps
to 9.03Mpps, with 4.6% improvement.

68835aba4d net: optimize INET input path further
Followup of commit b178bb3dfc (net: reorder struct sock fields)

Optimize INET input path a bit further, by :

1) moving sk_refcnt close to sk_lock.

This reduces number of dirtied cache lines by one on 64bit arches (and
64 bytes cache line size).

2) moving inet_daddr & inet_rcv_saddr at the beginning of sk

(same cache line than hash / family / bound_dev_if / nulls_node)

This reduces number of accessed cache lines in lookups by one, and dont
increase size of inet and timewait socks.
inet and tw sockets now share same place-holder for these fields.

Before patch :

offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x40
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x60
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x270
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x274

After patch :

offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x44
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x48
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x68
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x0
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x4

compute_score() (udp or tcp) now use a single cache line per ignored
item, instead of two.

2d5311e4e8 filter: add a security check at install time
We added some security checks in commit 57fe93b374
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) to close a
potential leak of kernel information to user.

This added a potential extra cost at run time, while we can perform a
check of the filter itself, to make sure a malicious user doesnt try to
abuse us.

This patch adds a check_loads() function, whole unique purpose is to
make this check, allocating a temporary array of mask. We scan the
filter and propagate a bitmask information, telling us if a load M(K) is
allowed because a previous store M(K) is guaranteed. (So that
sk_run_filter() can possibly not read unitialized memory)

Note: this can uncover application bug, denying a filter attach,
previously allowed.

46bcf14f44 filter: fix sk_filter rcu handling
Pavel Emelyanov tried to fix a race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and
sk_clone() in commit 47e958eac2

Problem is we can have several clones sharing a common sk_filter, and
these clones might want to sk_filter_attach() their own filters at the
same time, and can overwrite old_filter->rcu, corrupting RCU queues.

We can not use filter->rcu without being sure no other thread could do
the same thing.

Switch code to a more conventional ref-counting technique : Do the
atomic decrement immediately and queue one rcu call back when last
reference is released.

ca44ac3861 net: don't reallocate skb->head unless the current one hasn't the needed extra size or is shared
skb head being allocated by kmalloc(), it might be larger than what
actually requested because of discrete kmem caches sizes. Before
reallocating a new skb head, check if the current one has the needed
extra size.

Do this check only if skb head is not shared.

493f377d6d tcp: Add timewait recycling bits to ipv6 connect code.
This will also improve handling of ipv6 tcp socket request
backlog when syncookies are not enabled.  When backlog
becomes very deep, last quarter of backlog is limited to
validated destinations.  Previously only ipv4 implemented
this logic, but now ipv6 does too.

Now we are only one step away from enabling timewait
recycling for ipv6, and that step is simply filling in
the implementation of tcp_v6_get_peer() and
tcp_v6_tw_get_peer().

cf7afbfeb8 rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomic
As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes
are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and
one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already
leaving the link behind in a undefined state.

This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions
validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed
to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before
any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to
commit the changes later.

This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient
to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the
validation function method will not be able to detect all error
scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors
depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex
and thus may change between validation and setting.

Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and
config blocks for address families which did not register a set
function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are
returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without
notifying the user.

1d24eb4815 xps: Transmit Packet Steering
This patch implements transmit packet steering (XPS) for multiqueue
devices.  XPS selects a transmit queue during packet transmission based
on configuration.  This is done by mapping the CPU transmitting the
packet to a queue.  This is the transmit side analogue to RPS-- where
RPS is selecting a CPU based on receive queue, XPS selects a queue
based on the CPU (previously there was an XPS patch from Eric
Dumazet, but that might more appropriately be called transmit completion
steering).

Each transmit queue can be associated with a number of CPUs which will
use the queue to send packets.  This is configured as a CPU mask on a
per queue basis in:

/sys/class/net/eth<n>/queues/tx-<n>/xps_cpus

The mappings are stored per device in an inverted data structure that
maps CPUs to queues.  In the netdevice structure this is an array of
num_possible_cpu structures where each structure holds and array of
queue_indexes for queues which that CPU can use.

The benefits of XPS are improved locality in the per queue data
structures.  Also, transmit completions are more likely to be done
nearer to the sending thread, so this should promote locality back
to the socket on free (e.g. UDP).  The benefits of XPS are dependent on
cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors.  XPS would
nominally be configured so that a queue would only be shared by CPUs
which are sharing a cache, the degenerative configuration woud be that
each CPU has it's own queue.

Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of
this patch.  The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test
with 1 byte req. and resp.

bnx2x on 16 core AMD
   XPS (16 queues, 1 TX queue per CPU)  1234K at 100% CPU

3853b5841c xps: Improvements in TX queue selection
In dev_pick_tx, don't do work in calculating queue
index or setting
the index in the sock unless the device has more than one queue.  This
allows the sock to be set only with a queue index of a multi-queue
device which is desirable if device are stacked like in a tunnel.

We also allow the mapping of a socket to queue to be changed.  To
maintain in order packet transmission a flag (ooo_okay) has been
added to the sk_buff structure.  If a transport layer sets this flag
on a packet, the transmit queue can be changed for the socket.
Presumably, the transport would set this if there was no possbility
of creating OOO packets (for instance, there are no packets in flight
for the socket).  This patch includes the modification in TCP output
for setting this flag.

93aaae2e01 filter: optimize sk_run_filter
Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter
instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer.

As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and
all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter
bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we
remove it from sk_run_filter() params.

On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b374
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory)

Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to
avoid too many ifdefs in this code.

This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A
accumulator.

On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter()
runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional
branch per BPF instruction)

f8ff182c71 rtnetlink: Link address family API
Each net_device contains address family specific data such as
per device settings and statistics. We already expose this data
via procfs/sysfs and partially netlink.

The netlink method requires the requester to send one RTM_GETLINK
request for each address family it wishes to receive data of
and then merge this data itself.

This patch implements a new API which combines all address family
specific link data in a new netlink attribute IFLA_AF_SPEC.
IFLA_AF_SPEC contains a sequence of nested attributes, one for each
address family which in turn defines the structure of its own
attribute. Example:

   [IFLA_AF_SPEC] = {
       [AF_INET] = {
           [IFLA_INET_CONF] = ...,
       },
       [AF_INET6] = {
           [IFLA_INET6_FLAGS] = ...,
           [IFLA_INET6_CONF] = ...,
       }
   }

The API also allows for address families to implement a function
which parses the IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute sent by userspace to
implement address family specific link options.

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB machine and found some limits were
reached : sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2]

We can switch infrastructure to use long "instead" of "int", now
atomic_long_t primitives are available for free.

57fe93b374 filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory
There is a possibility malicious users can get limited information about
uninitialized stack mem array. Even if sk_run_filter() result is bound
to packet length (0 .. 65535), we could imagine this can be used by
hostile user.

Initializing mem[] array, like Dan Rosenberg suggested in his patch is
expensive since most filters dont even use this array.

Its hard to make the filter validation in sk_chk_filter(), because of
the jumps. This might be done later.

In this patch, I use a bitmap (a single long var) so that only filters
using mem[] loads/stores pay the price of added security checks.

For other filters, additional cost is a single instruction.

[ Since we access fentry->k a lot now, cache it in a local variable
  and mark filter entry pointer as const. -DaveM ]

332dd96f7a net/dst: dst_dev_event() called after other notifiers
Followup of commit ef885afbf8 (net: use rcu_barrier() in
rollback_registered_many)

dst_dev_event() scans a garbage dst list that might be feeded by various
network notifiers at device dismantle time.

Its important to call dst_dev_event() after other notifiers, or we might
enter the infamous msleep(250) in netdev_wait_allrefs(), and wait one
second before calling again call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
dev) to properly remove last device references.

Use priority -10 to let dst_dev_notifier be called after other network
notifiers (they have the default 0 priority)

448d7b5daf pktgen: Limit how much data we copy onto the stack.
A program that accidentally writes too much data to the pktgen file can overflow
the kernel stack and oops the machine. This is only triggerable by root, so
there's no security issue, but it's still an unfortunate bug.

printk() won't print more than 1024 bytes in a single call, anyways, so let's
just never copy more than that much data. We're on a fairly shallow stack, so
that should be safe even with CONFIG_4KSTACKS.

8acfe468b0 net: Limit socket I/O iovec total length to INT_MAX.
This helps protect us from overflow issues down in the
individual protocol sendmsg/recvmsg handlers.  Once
we hit INT_MAX we truncate out the rest of the iovec
by setting the iov_len members to zero.

This works because:

1) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, partial
   writes are allowed and the application will just continue
   with another write to send the rest of the data.

2) For datagram oriented sockets, where there must be a
   one-to-one correspondance between write() calls and
   packets on the wire, INT_MAX is going to be far larger
   than the packet size limit the protocol is going to
   check for and signal with -EMSGSIZE.

ebb9fed2de fib: fix fib_nl_newrule()
Some panic reports in fib_rules_lookup() show a rule could have a NULL
pointer as a next pointer in the rules_list.

This can actually happen because of a bug in fib_nl_newrule() : It
checks if current rule is the destination of unresolved gotos. (Other
rules have gotos to this about to be inserted rule)

Problem is it does the resolution of the gotos before the rule is
inserted in the rules_list (and has a valid next pointer)

Fix this by moving the rules_list insertion before the changes on gotos.

A lockless reader can not any more follow a ctarget pointer, unless
destination is ready (has a valid next pointer)

3701e51382 vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration.
Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
the stripped tag to a specialized receive function.  This is

different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
it in the networking core.

This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
following:
* On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
the header if no group
* vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
receive routines
* On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
out in upper layers, such as bonding.

There are a number of advantages to this:
* Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
* Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
(good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
* Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
necessary.
* Consolidates common code in core networking.

There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time
(used once).

Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change
skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst.

This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand
of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly.

CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary
dsts.

Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(),
since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

f13d493d9c netpoll: Revert napi_poll fix for bonding driver
In an erlier patch I modified napi_poll so that devices with IFF_MASTER polled
the per_cpu list instead of the device list for napi.  I did this because the
bonding driver has no napi instances to poll, it instead expects to check the
slave devices napi instances, which napi_poll was unaware of.  Looking at this
more closely however, I now see this isn't strictly needed.  As the bond driver
poll_controller calls the slaves poll_controller via netpoll_poll_dev, which
recursively calls poll_napi on each slave, allowing those napi instances to get
serviced.  The earlier patch isn't at all harmfull, its just not needed, so lets
revert it to make the code cleaner.  Sorry for the noise,
