http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the
bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum
flags and SG/TSO.
For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that
has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces
an illegal combination.
The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to
deal with this.
In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch
moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both
bonding and bridging.
In the process I've made small adjustments such as only
setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device
supports it.

During the transition to the ethtool_ops way of doing things, we supported
calling the device's ->do_ioctl method to allow unconverted drivers to
continue working. Those days are long behind us, all in-tree drivers
use the ethtool_ops way, and so we no longer need to support this.
The bonding driver is the biggest beneficiary of this; it no longer
needs to call ioctl() as a fallback if ethtool_ops aren't supported.
Also put a proper copyright statement on ethtool.c.

This patch adds code to allow errors to be passed up from event
handlers of NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_CHANGENAME. It also adds
the notifier_from_errno/notifier_to_errnor helpers to pass the
errno value up to the notifier caller.
If an error is detected when a device is registered, it causes
that operation to fail. A NETDEV_UNREGISTER will be sent to
all event handlers.
Similarly if NETDEV_CHANGENAME fails the original name is restored
and a new NETDEV_CHANGENAME event is sent.
As such all event handlers must be idempotent with respect to
these events.
When an event handler is registered NETDEV_REGISTER events are
sent for all devices currently registered. Should any of them
fail, we will send NETDEV_GOING_DOWN/NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISTER
events to that handler for the devices which have already been
registered with it. The handler registration itself will fail.

When we added name-based hashing the dev_base_lock was designated as the
lock to take when changing the name hash list. Unfortunately, because
it was a preexisting lock that just happened to be taken in the right
spots we neglected to take it in dev_change_name.
The race can affect calles of __dev_get_by_name that do so without taking
the RTNL. They may end up walking down the wrong hash chain and end up
missing the device that they're looking for.

Because this function is only called by unregister_netdevice,

Any further, function __dev_addr_discard is also just called by
dev_mc_discard and dev_unicast_discard, keeping this two functions
both in one c file could make __dev_addr_discard also static
and remove its declaration in netdevice.h;
Futhermore, the sequential call to dev_unicast_discard and then
dev_mc_discard in unregister_netdevice have a similar mechanism that:
(netif_tx_lock_bh / __dev_addr_discard / netif_tx_unlock_bh),
they should merged into one to eliminate duplicates in acquiring and

To fix the ABBA deadlock the rate estimators are now kept on an rcu list.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Part two in the O_CLOEXEC saga: adding support for file descriptors received
through Unix domain sockets.
The patch is once again pretty minimal, it introduces a new flag for recvmsg
and passes it just like the existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag. I think this bit
is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better.
This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv. These functions cannot
be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than
the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations.
The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC. It has to
remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot
live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported.
Here's a test program to make sure the code works. It's so much longer than

very pretty:
- walk the multicast list
- search each entry on a copy of the previous list
- if new add to lower device
- walk the copy of the previous list
- search each entry on the current list
- if removed delete from lower device
- copy entire list

Currently the set_multicast_list (and set_rx_mode) callbacks are
responsible for configuring the device according to the IFF_PROMISC,
IFF_MULTICAST and IFF_ALLMULTI flags and the mc_list (and uc_list in
case of set_rx_mode).
These callbacks can be invoked from BH context without the rtnl_mutex
by dev_mc_add/dev_mc_delete, which makes reading the device flags and
promiscous/allmulti count racy. For real hardware drivers that just
commit all changes to the hardware this is not a real problem since
the stack guarantees to call them for every change, so at least the
final call will not race and commit the correct configuration to the
hardware.
For software devices that want to synchronize promiscous and multicast
state to an underlying device however this can cause corruption of the
underlying device's flags or promisc/allmulti counts.
When the software device is concurrently put in promiscous or allmulti
mode while set_multicast_list is invoked from bottem half context, the
device might synchronize the change to the underlying device without
holding the rtnl_mutex, which races with concurrent changes to the
underlying device.
Add a dev->change_rx_flags hook that is invoked when any of the flags
that affect rx filtering change (under the rtnl_mutex), which allows
drivers to perform synchronization immediately and only synchronize
the address lists in set_multicast_list/set_rx_mode.

The current implementation assumes that a channel will only be used by one
client at a time. In order to enable channel sharing the dmaengine core is
changed to a model where clients subscribe to channel-available-events.
Instead of tracking how many channels a client wants and how many it has
received the core just broadcasts the available channels and lets the
clients optionally take a reference. The core learns about the clients'
needs at dma_event_callback time.
In support of multiple operation types, clients can specify a capability
mask to only be notified of channels that satisfy a certain set of
capabilities.
Changelog:
* removed DMA_TX_ARRAY_INIT, no longer needed
* dma_client_chan_free -> dma_chan_release: switch to global reference
counting only at device unregistration time, before it was also happening
at client unregistration time

net_device->npinfo (netpoll_info) is a shared and refcounted object and
cannot simply be set NULL the first time netpoll_cleanup() is called.
Otherwise, further netpoll_cleanup()'s see np->dev->npinfo == NULL and
become no-ops, thus leaking. And it's a bug too: the first call to
netpoll_cleanup() would thus (annoyingly) "disable" other (still alive)
netpolls too. Maybe nobody noticed this because netconsole (only user

Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them,
even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the
skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is
actually writable because TCP release the header reference before
cloning.
The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how
long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len
to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len
is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from
the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns
whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid
enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the
new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit.
I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch,
but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system
time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same
amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback,
probably because of the large MTU.
Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and
without NAT:
- sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys 0m0.388s
- sendfile eth0, NAT: sys 0m1.835s
- sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys 0m0.370s (~ -80%)
- sendfile lo, no NAT: sys 0m0.258s
- sendfile lo, NAT: sys 0m2.609s
- sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m0.260s (~ -90%)
- sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys 0m2.508s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys 0m2.539s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.445s (no change)
- sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s
- sendmsg lo, NAT: sys 0m3.557s

in4_pton converts a textual representation of an ip4 address
into an integer representation. However, when the textual representation
is of in the form ip:port, e.g. 192.168.1.1:5060, and 'delim' is set to
-1, the function bails out with an error when reading the colon.
It makes sense to allow the colon as a delimiting character without
explicitly having to set it through the 'delim' variable as there can be
no ambiguity in the point where the ip address is completely parsed. This
function is indeed called from nf_conntrack_sip.c in this way to parse
textual ip:port combinations which fails due to the reason stated above.

The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a
lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the
-EAGAIN buisness we had before.
Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That
works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get
silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules.
We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because
they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the
sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in
libc.
With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from
Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state
resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default.
This lays the framework to either:
1) Make this default at some point or...
2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the
ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of.
The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then
once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we
re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The
packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved
in a certain amount of time.

sys_setsockopt() do not check properly timeout values for
SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO, for example it's possible to set negative timeout
values. POSIX do not defines behaviour for sys_setsockopt in case negative
timeouts, but requires that setsockopt() shall fail with -EDOM if the send and
receive timeout values are too big to fit into the timeout fields in the socket
structure.
In current implementation negative timeout can lead to error messages like
"schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value".
Proposed patch:
- checks tv_usec and returns -EDOM if it is wrong
- do not allows to set negative timeout values (sets 0 instead) and outputs
ratelimited information message about such attempts.

rtnl_setlink doesn't allow to change subsets of the flags, just to override

up or down userspace first needs to query the current flags, change it and
send the changed flags back, which is racy and needlessly complicated.
Mask the flags using ifi_change since this is what it is intended for.
For backwards compatibility treat ifi_change == 0 as ~0 (even though it

Currently all link carrier events are delayed by up to a second
before they're processed to prevent link storms. This causes

is defined as up events when we're already up.

These days the link watch mechanism is an integral part of the
network subsystem as it manages the carrier status. So it now
makes sense to allocate some memory for it in net_device rather
than allocating it on demand.
In fact, this is necessary because we can't tolerate a memory
allocation failure since that means we'd have to potentially
throw a link up event away.
It also simplifies the code greatly.
In doing so I discovered a subtle race condition in the use
of singleevent. This race condition still exists (and is
somewhat magnified) without singleevent but it's now plugged
thanks to an smp_mb__before_clear_bit.

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

I noticed recently that, in skb_checksum(), "offset" and "start" are
essentially the same thing and have the same value throughout the

allows some cleanups and makes the skb_checksum() function smaller,
more readable, and presumably marginally faster.
We appear to have many other "sk_buff walker" functions built on the
exact same model, so the cleanup applies to them, too. Here is a list
of the functions I found to be affected:
net/appletalk/ddp.c:atalk_sum_skb()

net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_icv_walk()
net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_to_sgvec()
