David Ahern eba618abac ipv4: Add fib_nh_common to fib_result
Most of the ipv4 code only needs data from fib_nh_common. Add
fib_nh_common selection to fib_result and update users to use it.

Right now, fib_nh_common in fib_result will point to a fib_nh struct
that is embedded within a fib_info:

        fib_info  --> fib_nh
                      fib_nh
                      ...
                      fib_nh
                        ^
    fib_result->nhc ----+

Later, nhc can point to a fib_nh within a nexthop struct:

        fib_info --> nexthop --> fib_nh
                                   ^
    fib_result->nhc ---------------+

or for a nexthop group:

        fib_info --> nexthop --> nexthop --> fib_nh
                                 nexthop --> fib_nh
                                 ...
                                 nexthop --> fib_nh
                                               ^
    fib_result->nhc ---------------------------+

In all cases nhsel within fib_result will point to which leg in the
multipath route is used.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Xin Long 5f9ae3d9e7 ipv4: do metrics match when looking up and deleting a route
Now when ipv4 route inserts a fib_info, it memcmp fib_metrics.
It means ipv4 route identifies one route also with metrics.

But when removing a route, it tries to find the route without
caring about the metrics. It will cause that the route with
right metrics can't be removed.

Thomas noticed this issue when doing the testing:

1. add:
   # ip route append 192.168.7.0/24 dev v window 1000
   # ip route append 192.168.7.0/24 dev v window 1001
   # ip route append 192.168.7.0/24 dev v window 1002
   # ip route append 192.168.7.0/24 dev v window 1003
2. delete:
   # ip route delete 192.168.7.0/24 dev v window 1002
3. show:
     192.168.7.0/24 proto boot scope link window 1001
     192.168.7.0/24 proto boot scope link window 1002
     192.168.7.0/24 proto boot scope link window 1003

The one with window 1002 wasn't deleted but the first one was.

This patch is to do metrics match when looking up and deleting
one route.

Julian Anastasov 2392debc2b ipv4: consider TOS in fib_select_default
fib_select_default considers alternative routes only when
res->fi is for the first alias in res->fa_head. In the
common case this can happen only when the initial lookup
matches the first alias with highest TOS value. This
prevents the alternative routes to require specific TOS.

This patch solves the problem as follows:

- routes that require specific TOS should be returned by
fib_select_default only when TOS matches, as already done
in fib_table_lookup. This rule implies that depending on the
TOS we can have many different lists of alternative gateways
and we have to keep the last used gateway (fa_default) in first
alias for the TOS instead of using single tb_default value.

- as the aliases are ordered by many keys (TOS desc,
fib_priority asc), we restrict the possible results to
routes with matching TOS and lowest metric (fib_priority)
and routes that match any TOS, again with lowest metric.

For example, packet with TOS 8 can not use gw3 (not lowest
metric), gw4 (different TOS) and gw6 (not lowest metric),
all other gateways can be used:

tos 8 via gw1 metric 2 <--- res->fa_head and res->fi
tos 8 via gw2 metric 2
tos 8 via gw3 metric 3
tos 4 via gw4
tos 0 via gw5
tos 0 via gw6 metric 1

Alexander Duyck 0ddcf43d5d ipv4: FIB Local/MAIN table collapse
This patch is meant to collapse local and main into one by converting
tb_data from an array to a pointer.  Doing this allows us to point the
local table into the main while maintaining the same variables in the
table.

As such the tb_data was converted from an array to a pointer, and a new
array called data is added in order to still provide an object for tb_data
to point to.

In order to track the origin of the fib aliases a tb_id value was added in
a hole that existed on 64b systems.  Using this we can also reverse the
merge in the event that custom FIB rules are enabled.

With this patch I am seeing an improvement of 20ns to 30ns for routing
lookups as long as custom rules are not enabled, with custom rules enabled
we fall back to split tables and the original behavior.

Eric Dumazet a6501e080c [IPV4] FIB_HASH: Reduce memory needs and speedup lookups
Currently, sizeof(struct fib_alias) is 24 or 48 bytes on 32/64 bits
arches.

Because of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN requirement, these are rounded to 32 and
64 bytes respectively.

This patch moves rcu to the end of fib_alias, and conditionally
defines it only for CONFIG_IP_FIB_TRIE.

We also remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN requirement for fib_alias and
fib_node objects because it is not necessary.

(BTW SLUB currently denies it for objects smaller than
cache_line_size() / 2, but not SLAB)

Finally, sizeof(fib_alias) go back to 16 and 32 bytes.

Then, we can embed one fib_alias on each fib_node, to favor locality.
Most of the time access to the fib_alias will be free because one
cache line contains both the list head (fn_alias) and (one of) the
list element.

Milan Kocian b8f5583135 [RTNETLINK]: Fix sending netlink message when replace route.
When you replace route via ip r r command the netlink multicast message is
not send.  This patch corrects it.  NL message is sent with NLM_F_REPLACE
flag.

Thomas Graf 4e902c5741 [IPv4]: FIB configuration using struct fib_config
Introduces struct fib_config replacing the ugly struct kern_rta
prone to ordering issues. Avoids creating faked netlink messages
for auto generated routes or requests via ioctl.

A new interface net/nexthop.h is added to help navigate through
nexthop configuration arrays.

A new struct nl_info will be used to carry the necessary netlink
information to be used for notifications later on.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
