Patrick McHardy 239a87c876 [NET_SCHED]: act_ipt: fix regression in ipt action
The x_tables patch broke target module autoloading in the ipt action
by replacing the ipt_find_target call (which does autoloading) by
xt_find_target (which doesn't do autoloading). Additionally xt_find_target
may return ERR_PTR values in case of an error, which are not handled.

Use xt_request_find_target, which does both autoloading and ERR_PTR
handling properly. Also don't forget to drop the target module reference
again when xt_check_target fails.

Patrick McHardy 5c804bfdcc [NET_SCHED]: cls_fw: fix NULL pointer dereference
When the first fw classifier is initialized, there is a small window
between the ->init() and ->change() calls, during which the classifier
is active but not entirely set up and tp->root is still NULL (->init()
does nothing).

When a packet is queued during this window a NULL pointer dereference
occurs in fw_classify() when trying to dereference head->mask;

Patrick McHardy 1e9b3d5339 [NET_SCHED]: policer: restore compatibility with old iproute binaries
The tc actions increased the size of struct tc_police, which broke
compatibility with old iproute binaries since both the act_police
and the old NET_CLS_POLICE code check for an exact size match.

Since the new members are not even used, the simple fix is to also
accept the size of the old structure. Dumping is not affected since
old userspace will receive a bigger structure, which is handled fine.

Patrick McHardy e488eafcc5 [NET_SCHED]: Fix endless loops (part 5): netem/tbf/hfsc ->requeue failures
When peeking at the next packet in a child qdisc by calling dequeue/requeue,
the upper qdisc qlen counter may get out of sync in case the requeue fails.
The qdisc and the child qdisc both have their counter decremented, but since
no packet is given to the upper qdisc it won't decrement its counter itself.

requeue should not fail, so this is mostly for "correctness".

Patrick McHardy 43effa1e57 [NET_SCHED]: Fix endless loops caused by inaccurate qlen counters (part 1)
There are multiple problems related to qlen adjustment that can lead
to an upper qdisc getting out of sync with the real number of packets
queued, leading to endless dequeueing attempts by the upper layer code.

All qdiscs must maintain an accurate q.qlen counter. There are basically
two groups of operations affecting the qlen: operations that propagate
down the tree (enqueue, dequeue, requeue, drop, reset) beginning at the
root qdisc and operations only affecting a subtree or single qdisc
(change, graft, delete class). Since qlen changes during operations from
the second group don't propagate to ancestor qdiscs, their qlen values
become desynchronized.

This patch adds a function to propagate qlen changes up the qdisc tree,
optionally calling a callback function to perform qdisc-internal
maintenance when the child qdisc becomes empty. The follow-up patches
will convert all qdiscs to use this function where necessary.

Noticed by Timo Steinbach <tsteinbach@astaro.com>.

Patrick McHardy 85670cc1fa [NET_SCHED]: Fix fallout from dev->qdisc RCU change
The move of qdisc destruction to a rcu callback broke locking in the
entire qdisc layer by invalidating previously valid assumptions about
the context in which changes to the qdisc tree occur.

The two assumptions were:

- since changes only happen in process context, read_lock doesn't need
  bottem half protection. Now invalid since destruction of inner qdiscs,
  classifiers, actions and estimators happens in the RCU callback unless
  they're manually deleted, resulting in dead-locks when read_lock in
  process context is interrupted by write_lock_bh in bottem half context.

- since changes only happen under the RTNL, no additional locking is
  necessary for data not used during packet processing (f.e. u32_list).
  Again, since destruction now happens in the RCU callback, this assumption
  is not valid anymore, causing races while using this data, which can
  result in corruption or use-after-free.

Instead of "fixing" this by disabling bottem halfs everywhere and adding
new locks/refcounting, this patch makes these assumptions valid again by
moving destruction back to process context. Since only the dev->qdisc
pointer is protected by RCU, but ->enqueue and the qdisc tree are still
protected by dev->qdisc_lock, destruction of the tree can be performed
immediately and only the final free needs to happen in the rcu callback
to make sure dev_queue_xmit doesn't access already freed memory.

David S. Miller e9ce1cd3cf [PKT_SCHED]: Kill pkt_act.h inlining.
This was simply making templates of functions and mostly causing a lot
of code duplication in the classifier action modules.

We solve this more cleanly by having a common "struct tcf_common" that
hash worker functions contained once in act_api.c can work with.

Callers work with real action objects that have the common struct
plus their module specific struct members.  You go from a common
object to the higher level one using a "to_foo()" macro which makes
use of container_of() to do the dirty work.

This also kills off act_generic.h which was only used by act_simple.c
and keeping it around was more work than the it's value.

This turns out to be a genuine bug.  The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order.  Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:

1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.

2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.

I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up.  The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary.  In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.

The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.

So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.
