net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a 32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00. The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort. A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a 32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its internal information, which is worse than it not getting the information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event. A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for 64-bit quantities. In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was suggested by David Miller, my original approach required always sending two skbs but that had various small problems. To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg parameter. I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read() rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong (64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do this, nor would it be a regression. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages
to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To
achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the
compat skb before sending the skb, the netlink code will sort out
which message to actually pass to the task.
Newly written code should NEVER need this option but do
compat-independent messages instead!
net: add CONFIG_NET_INGRESS to enable ingress filtering This new config switch enables the ingress filtering infrastructure that is controlled through the ingress_needed static key. This prepares the introduction of the Netfilter ingress hook that resides under this unique static key.

net, sched: add clsact qdisc This work adds a generalization of the ingress qdisc as a qdisc holding only classifiers. The clsact qdisc works on ingress, but also on egress. In both cases, it's execution happens without taking the qdisc lock, and the main difference for the egress part compared to prior version of [1] is that this can be applied with _any_ underlying real egress qdisc (also classless ones). Besides solving the use-case of [1], that is, allowing for more programmability on assigning skb->priority for the mqprio case that is supported by most popular 10G+ NICs, it also opens up a lot more flexibility for other tc applications. The main work on classification can already be done at clsact egress time if the use-case allows and state stored for later retrieval f.e. again in skb->priority with major/minors (which is checked by most classful qdiscs before consulting tc_classify()) and/or in other skb fields like skb->tc_index for some light-weight post-processing to get to the eventual classid in case of a classful qdisc. Another use case is that the clsact egress part allows to have a central egress counterpart to the ingress classifiers, so that classifiers can easily share state (e.g. in cls_bpf via eBPF maps) for ingress and egress. Currently, default setups like mq + pfifo_fast would require for this to use, for example, prio qdisc instead (to get a tc_classify() run) and to duplicate the egress classifier for each queue. With clsact, it allows for leaving the setup as is, it can additionally assign skb->priority to put the skb in one of pfifo_fast's bands and it can share state with maps. Moreover, we can access the skb's dst entry (f.e. to retrieve tclassid) w/o the need to perform a skb_dst_force() to hold on to it any longer. In lwt case, we can also use this facility to setup dst metadata via cls_bpf (bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key()) without needing a real egress qdisc just for that (case of IFF_NO_QUEUE devices, for example). The realization can be done without any changes to the scheduler core framework. All it takes is that we have two a-priori defined minors/child classes, where we can mux between ingress and egress classifier list (dev->ingress_cl_list and dev->egress_cl_list, latter stored close to dev->_tx to avoid extra cacheline miss for moderate loads). The egress part is a bit similar modelled to handle_ing() and patched to a noop in case the functionality is not used. Both handlers are now called sch_handle_ingress() and sch_handle_egress(), code sharing among the two doesn't seem practical as there are various minor differences in both paths, so that making them conditional in a single handler would rather slow things down. Full compatibility to ingress qdisc is provided as well. Since both piggyback on TC_H_CLSACT, only one of them (ingress/clsact) can exist per netdevice, and thus ingress qdisc specific behaviour can be retained for user space. This means, either a user does 'tc qdisc add dev foo ingress' and configures ingress qdisc as usual, or the 'tc qdisc add dev foo clsact' alternative, where both, ingress and egress classifier can be configured as in the below example. ingress qdisc supports attaching classifier to any minor number whereas clsact has two fixed minors for muxing between the lists, therefore to not break user space setups, they are better done as two separate qdiscs. I decided to extend the sch_ingress module with clsact functionality so that commonly used code can be reused, the module is being aliased with sch_clsact so that it can be auto-loaded properly. Alternative would have been to add a flag when initializing ingress to alter its behaviour plus aliasing to a different name (as it's more than just ingress). However, the first would end up, based on the flag, choosing the new/old behaviour by calling different function implementations to handle each anyway, the latter would require to register ingress qdisc once again under different alias. So, this really begs to provide a minimal, cleaner approach to have Qdisc_ops and Qdisc_class_ops by its own that share callbacks used by both. Example, adding qdisc: # tc qdisc add dev foo clsact # tc qdisc show dev foo qdisc mq 0: root qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :1 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :2 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :3 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :4 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc clsact ffff: parent ffff:fff1 Adding filters (deleting, etc works analogous by specifying ingress/egress): # tc filter add dev foo ingress bpf da obj bar.o sec ingress # tc filter add dev foo egress bpf da obj bar.o sec egress # tc filter show dev foo ingress filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 bar.o:[ingress] direct-action # tc filter show dev foo egress filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 bar.o:[egress] direct-action A 'tc filter show dev foo' or 'tc filter show dev foo parent ffff:' will show an empty list for clsact. Either using the parent names (ingress/egress) or specifying the full major/minor will then show the related filter lists.

net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own file This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set: ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined! The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier, so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK or similar that would pull it in automatically. This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits to drivers. This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw() API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also, the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]). In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via `./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead, a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very same filter.

Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
that pass through your Linux box.
The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
you say Y here.
You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
called NAT (Network Address Translation).
Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
typically a caching proxy server.
Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
configuration).
Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
<file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
these packages.

This harms performance for people that don't need this. This patch modularizes br_netfilter so it can be rmmod'ed, thus, the hooks can be unregistered. I think the bridge netfilter should have been a separated module since the beginning, Patrick agreed on that. Note that this is breaking compatibility for users that expect that bridge netfilter is going to be available after explicitly 'modprobe bridge' or via automatic load through brctl. However, the damage can be easily undone by modprobing br_netfilter. The bridge core also spots a message to provide a clue to people that didn't notice that this has been deprecated. On top of that, the plan is that nftables will not rely on this software layer, but integrate the connection tracking into the bridge layer to enable stateful filtering and NAT, which is was bridge netfilter users seem to require. This patch still keeps the fake_dst_ops in the bridge core, since this is required by when the bridge port is initialized. So we can safely modprobe/rmmod br_netfilter anytime.

net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support Distributed Switch Architecture is a protocol for managing hardware switch chips. It consists of a set of MII management registers and commands to configure the switch, and an ethernet header format to signal which of the ports of the switch a packet was received from or is intended to be sent to. The switches that this driver supports are typically embedded in access points and routers, and a typical setup with a DSA switch looks something like this: +-----------+ +-----------+ | | RGMII | | | +-------+ +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN") | | | 6-port +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1") | CPU | | ethernet +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2") | |MIImgmt| switch +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3") | +-------+ w/5 PHYs +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4") | | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ The switch driver presents each port on the switch as a separate network interface to Linux, polls the switch to maintain software link state of those ports, forwards MII management interface accesses to those network interfaces (e.g. as done by ethtool) to the switch, and exposes the switch's hardware statistics counters via the appropriate Linux kernel interfaces. This initial patch supports the MII management interface register layout of the Marvell 88E6123, 88E6161 and 88E6165 switch chips, and supports the "Ethertype DSA" packet tagging format. (There is no officially registered ethertype for the Ethertype DSA packet format, so we just grab a random one. The ethertype to use is programmed into the switch, and the switch driver uses the value of ETH_P_EDSA for this, so this define can be changed at any time in the future if the one we chose is allocated to another protocol or if Ethertype DSA gets its own officially registered ethertype, and everything will continue to work.)

Which is described by RFC 6282 [0]. The BLTE 6LoWPAN draft describes that the IPHC is the same format like IEEE 802.15.4, see [1]. Futuremore we can put more code into this directory which is shared between BLTE and IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN like RFC 6775 or the routing protocol RPL RFC 6550. To avoid naming conflicts I renamed 6lowpan-y to ieee802154_6lowpan-y in net/ieee802154/Makefile.

net: add IEEE 802.15.4 socket family implementation Add support for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This implementation is neither certified nor complete, but aims to that goal. This commit contains only the socket interface for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. One can either send RAW datagrams or use SOCK_DGRAM to encapsulate data inside normal IEEE 802.15.4 packets. Configuration interface, drivers and software MAC 802.15.4 implementation will follow. Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel Smolensky as a research project at Siemens AG. Later the stack was heavily reworked to better suit the linux networking model, and is now maitained as an open project partially sponsored by Siemens.

DNS: Separate out CIFS DNS Resolver code Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS filesystem module. This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys can be retained in keyrings. Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type> indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The <domain_name> is the query to be made. If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution. The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function, which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This part remains in the CIFS module for now.

net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components. Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and translate it into packet processing rules.

VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor. User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided. Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware running as host applications and automated testing of applications running within virtual machines. The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.

The core dumping message carries the basic info about netlink sockets: family, type and protocol, portis, dst_group, dst_portid, state. Groups can be received as an optional parameter NETLINK_DIAG_GROUPS. Netlink sockets cab be filtered by protocols. The socket inode number and cookie is reserved for future per-socket info retrieving. The per-protocol filtering is also reserved for future by requiring the sdiag_protocol to be zero. The file /proc/net/netlink doesn't provide enough information for dumping netlink sockets. It doesn't provide dst_group, dst_portid, groups above 32. v2: fix NETLINK_DIAG_MAX.

MPLS: Add limited GSO support In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (HSRv0) High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and very short reaction time. HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring must be HSR capable.

cgroup: make CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO bool and drop unnecessary init_netclassid_cgroup() net_prio is the only cgroup which is allowed to be built as a module. The savings from allowing one controller to be built as a module are tiny especially given that cgroup module support itself adds quite a bit of complexity. Given that none of other controllers has much chance of being made a module and that we're unlikely to add new modular controllers, the added complexity is simply not justifiable. As a first step to drop cgroup module support, this patch changes the config option to bool from tristate and drops module related code from it. Also, while an earlier commit fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core") dropped module support from net_cls cgroup, it retained a call to cgroup_load_subsys(), which is noop for built-in controllers.

net: netprio: rename config to be more consistent with cgroup configs While we're at it and introduced CGROUP_NET_CLASSID, lets also make NETPRIO_CGROUP more consistent with the rest of cgroups and rename it into CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO so that for networking, we now have CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_{PRIO,CLASSID}. This not only makes the CONFIG option consistent among networking cgroups, but also among cgroups CONFIG conventions in general as the vast majority has a prefix of CONFIG_CGROUP_<SUBSYS>.

Zefan probably might want to follow-up for netprio later on. - By this, code can be further reduced which previously took care of functionality built when compiled as module. cgroupfs bits are being placed under net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c, so that we are consistent with {netclassid,netprio}_cgroup naming that is under net/core/ as suggested by Zefan.

The struct and its accessors are defined in cgroup-defs.h. This is to prepare for overloading the fields with a cgroup pointer. This patch mostly performs equivalent conversions but the followings are noteworthy. * Equality test before updating classid is removed from sock_update_classid(). This shouldn't make any noticeable difference and a similar test will be implemented on the helper side later. * sock_update_netprioidx() now takes struct sock_cgroup_data and can be moved to netprio_cgroup.h without causing include dependency loop.

rps: selective flow shedding during softnet overflow A cpu executing the network receive path sheds packets when its input queue grows to netdev_max_backlog. A single high rate flow (such as a spoofed source DoS) can exceed a single cpu processing rate and will degrade throughput of other flows hashed onto the same cpu. This patch adds a more fine grained hashtable. If the netdev backlog is above a threshold, IRQ cpus track the ratio of total traffic of each flow (using 4096 buckets, configurable). The ratio is measured by counting the number of packets per flow over the last 256 packets from the source cpu. Any flow that occupies a large fraction of this (set at 50%) will see packet drop while above the threshold. Tested: Setup is a muli-threaded UDP echo server with network rx IRQ on cpu0, kernel receive (RPS) on cpu0 and application threads on cpus 2--7 each handling 20k req/s. Throughput halves when hit with a 400 kpps antagonist storm. With this patch applied, antagonist overload is dropped and the server processes its complete load. The patch is effective when kernel receive processing is the bottleneck. The above RPS scenario is a extreme, but the same is reached with RFS and sufficient kernel processing (iptables, packet socket tap, ..).

The network stack has to drop packets when a receive processing CPU's
backlog reaches netdev_max_backlog. If a few out of many active flows
generate the vast majority of load, drop their traffic earlier to
maintain capacity for the other flows. This feature provides servers
with many clients some protection against DoS by a single (spoofed)
flow that greatly exceeds average workload.

Documentation on how to use TCP connection probing can be found
Docs/Kconfig: Update: osdl.org -> linuxfoundation.org Some of the documentation refers to web pages under the domain `osdl.org'. However, `osdl.org' now redirects to `linuxfoundation.org'. Rather than rely on redirections, this patch updates the addresses appropriately; for the most part, only documentation that is meant to be current has been updated. The patch should be pretty quick to scan and check; each new web-page url was gotten by trying out the original URL in a browser and then simply copying the the redirected URL (formatting as necessary). There is some conflict as to which one of these domain names is preferred: linuxfoundation.org linux-foundation.org So, I wrote: info@linuxfoundation.org and got this reply: Message-ID: <4CE17EE6.9040807@linuxfoundation.org> Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:41:42 -0800 From: David Ames <david@linuxfoundation.org> ... linuxfoundation.org is preferred. The canonical name for our web site is www.linuxfoundation.org. Our list site is actually lists.linux-foundation.org. Regarding email linuxfoundation.org is preferred there are a few people who choose to use linux-foundation.org for their own reasons. Consequently, I used `linuxfoundation.org' for web pages and `lists.linux-foundation.org' for mailing-list web pages and email addresses; the only personal email address I updated from `@osdl.org' was that of Andrew Morton, who prefers `linux-foundation.org' according `git log'.

ceph: factor out libceph from Ceph file system This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph. This is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces of the interface change as well: - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client and file system specific pieces. - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into two pieces. - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown messages (mds map, in this case). - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by ceph_fs_client). No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got cleaned up in the refactoring process. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

net: add dst_cache support This patch add a generic, lockless dst cache implementation. The need for lock is avoided updating the dst cache fields only in per cpu scope, and requiring that the cache manipulation functions are invoked with the local bh disabled. The refresh_ts and reset_ts fields are used to ensure the cache consistency in case of cuncurrent cache update (dst_cache_set*) and reset operation (dst_cache_reset). Consider the following scenario: CPU1: CPU2: <cache lookup with emtpy cache: it fails> <get dst via uncached route lookup> <related configuration changes> dst_cache_reset() dst_cache_set() The dst entry set passed to dst_cache_set() should not be used for later dst cache lookup, because it's obtained using old configuration values. Since the refresh_ts is updated only on dst_cache lookup, the cached value in the above scenario will be discarded on the next lookup.

net: mellanox: add DEVLINK dependencies The new NET_DEVLINK infrastructure can be a loadable module, but the drivers using it might be built-in, which causes link errors like: drivers/net/built-in.o: In function `mlx4_load_one': :(.text+0x2fbfda): undefined reference to `devlink_port_register' :(.text+0x2fc084): undefined reference to `devlink_port_unregister' drivers/net/built-in.o: In function `mlxsw_sx_port_remove': :(.text+0x33a03a): undefined reference to `devlink_port_type_clear' :(.text+0x33a04e): undefined reference to `devlink_port_unregister' There are multiple ways to avoid this: a) add 'depends on NET_DEVLINK || !NET_DEVLINK' dependencies for each user b) use 'select NET_DEVLINK' from each driver that uses it and hide the symbol in Kconfig. c) make NET_DEVLINK a 'bool' option so we don't have to list it as a dependency, and rely on the APIs to be stubbed out when it is disabled d) use IS_REACHABLE() rather than IS_ENABLED() to check for NET_DEVLINK in include/net/devlink.h This implements a variation of approach a) by adding an intermediate symbol that drivers can depend on, and changes the three drivers using it.

[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.
