Leonardo Potenza 1b6725dea7 net: fix section mismatch warnings in dccp/ccids/lib/tfrc.c
Removed the __exit annotation of tfrc_lib_exit(), in order to suppress the following section mismatch messages:

WARNING: net/dccp/dccp.o(.text+0xd9): Section mismatch in reference from the function ccid_cleanup_builtins() to the function .exit.text:tfrc_lib_exit()
The function ccid_cleanup_builtins() references a function in an exit section.
Often the function tfrc_lib_exit() has valid usage outside the exit section
and the fix is to remove the __exit annotation of tfrc_lib_exit.

WARNING: net/dccp/dccp.o(.init.text+0x48): Section mismatch in reference from the function ccid_initialize_builtins() to the function .exit.text:tfrc_lib_exit()
The function __init ccid_initialize_builtins() references
a function __exit tfrc_lib_exit().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of
tfrc_lib_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section.

When I made ipcomp use frags, I forgot to take out the original
truesize update that was added for pskb_expand_head.  As we no
longer expand the head of skb, that update should have been removed.

This bug is not related to the truesize warnings since we only
made it bigger than what it should've been.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez a2e9da4b09 wimax: testing for rfkill support should also test for CONFIG_RFKILL_MODULE
Current WiMAX rfkill code is missing the case where rfkill is compiled
in as modules and works only when rfkill is compiled in. This is not
correct. Fixed to test for CONFIG_RFKILL or CONFIG_RKILL_MODULE.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 71f78afd67 wimax: fix kconfig interactions with rfkill and input layers
WiMAX can work without RFKILL, but it was missing a check to make sure
RFKILL is not being made a module with wimax compiled into the
kernel. This caused failed builds in s390, where CONFIG_INPUT is
always off.

When RFKILL is enabled, the code uses the input layer to report
hardware switch changes; thus, if RFKILL is enabled, INPUT has to be
too. It also needs to display some message when INPUT is disabled that
explains why WiMAX is not selectable.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez d48e470f76 wimax: fix '#ifndef CONFIG_BUG' layout to avoid warning
Reported by Randy Dunlap:

> Also, this warning needs to be fixed:
>
> linux-next-20090106/net/wimax/id-table.c:133: warning: ISO C90
> forbids mixed declarations and code

Move the return on #defined(CONFIG_BUG) below the variable
declarations so it doesn't violate ISO C90.

On wimax_id_table_release() we want to do a debug check if CONFIG_BUG
is enabled. However, we also want the debug code to be always compiled
to ensure there is no bitrot. It will be optimized out by the compiler
when CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

Added a note to the function header stating this.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 3e65646bb1 wimax: basic API: kernel/user messaging, rfkill and reset
Implements the three basic operations provided by the stack's control
interface to WiMAX devices:

- Messaging channel between user space and driver/device

  This implements a direct communication channel between user space
  and the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back
  and forth.

  This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc.

- RF-kill framework integration

  Provide most of the RF-Kill integration for WiMAX drivers so that
  all device drivers have to do is after wimax_dev_add() is call
  wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to update initial state and then every
  time it changes.

  Provides wimax_rfkill() for the kernel to call to set software
  RF-Kill status and/or query current hardware and software switch
  status.

  Exports wimax_rfkill() over generic netlink to user space.

- Reset a WiMAX device

  Provides wimax_reset() for the kernel to reset a wimax device as
  needed and exports it over generic netlink to user space.

This API is clearly limited, as it still provides no way to do the
basic scan, connect and disconnect in a hardware independent way.  The
WiMAX case is more complex than WiFi due to the way networks are
discovered and provisioned.

The next developments are to add the basic operations so they can be
offerent by different drivers. However, we'd like to get more vendors
to jump in and provide feedback of how the user/kernel API/abstraction
layer should be.

The user space code for the i2400m, as of now, uses the messaging
channel, but that will change as the API evolves.

Add an EXPORT_SYMBOL() to genl_unregister_mc_group(), to allow
unregistering groups on the run. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is not used as
the rest of the functions exported by this module (eg:
genl_register_mc_group) are also not _GPL().

Cleanup is currently done when unregistering a family, but there is
no way to unregister a single multicast group due to that function not
being exported. Seems to be a mistake as it is documented as for
external consumption.

This is needed by the WiMAX stack to be able to cleanup unused mc
groups.

For looking up net devices based on their generic netlink family IDs,
use a low overhead method that optimizes for the case where most
systems have a single WiMAX device, or at most, a very low number of

The AF_CAN core delivered always cloned sk_buffs to the AF_CAN
protocols, although this was _only_ needed by the can-raw protocol.
With this (additionally documented) change, the AF_CAN core calls the
callback functions of the registered AF_CAN protocols with the original
(uncloned) sk_buff pointer and let's the can-raw protocol do the
skb_clone() itself which omits all unneeded skb_clone() calls for other
AF_CAN protocols.

Herbert Xu e1c096e251 vlan: Add GRO interfaces
This patch adds GRO interfaces for hardware-assisted VLAN reception.
With this in place we're now at parity with LRO as far as the
interface is concerned.  That is, you can now take any LRO driver
and convert it over to GRO.

As the CB memory clashes with GRO's use of CB, I've removed it
entirely by storing dev in skb->dev.  This is OK because VLAN
gets called first thing in netif_receive_skb and skb->dev is
not used in between us calling netif_rx and netif_receive_skb
getting called.

Previously GRO's only entry point from the outside is through
napi_gro_receive and napi_gro_frags.  These interfaces are for
device drivers.

This patch rearranges things to provide a new set of interfaces
for VLANs.  These interfaces are for internal use only.  The
VLAN code itself can then provide a set of entry points for
device drivers.

Dan Williams 6f49a57aa5 dmaengine: up-level reference counting to the module level
Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine
modules from being removed.  Once the clients are done re-enable module
removal.

Why?, beyond reducing complication:
1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as
   is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line
   bouncing effects.
2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a
   dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or
   dma-slave)
3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but
   if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify
   clients of remove events.  The driver can simply return NULL to a
   ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

Jeff Layton c9233eb7b0 sunrpc: add sv_maxconn field to svc_serv (try #3)
svc_check_conn_limits() attempts to prevent denial of service attacks
by having the service close old connections once it reaches a
threshold. This threshold is based on the number of threads in the
service:

	(serv->sv_nrthreads + 3) * 20

Once we reach this, we drop the oldest connections and a printk pops
to warn the admin that they should increase the number of threads.

Increasing the number of threads isn't an option however for services
like lockd. We don't want to eliminate this check entirely for such
services but we need some way to increase this limit.

This patch adds a sv_maxconn field to the svc_serv struct. When it's
set to 0, we use the current method to calculate the max number of
connections. RPC services can then set this on an as-needed basis.

Michael Marineau 22604c8668 net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28
From: Michael Marineau <mike@marineau.org>

Commit b47300168e "Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for
drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device.
Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their
link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING
flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was
previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is
not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as
reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on
__LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3],
and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is
not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link,
I don't know if and when it may get set.)

The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I
tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted
without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report
RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to
start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted
with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time
out the first time.

The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable
correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called
but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call
entirely as the previous fix did. (sorry it isn't inline, I don't have
a patch friendly email client at the moment)

Herbert Xu 5d38a079ce gro: Add page frag support
This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags)
in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list.

It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers
to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating
an skb.  This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's
lro_receive_frags interface.

The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with
or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed
there.

The merging itself is rather simple.  We store any new frag entries
after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first
new entry can be merged with the last existing entry.  Making this
check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can
produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation.

If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a
single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

David S. Miller 14deae4156 ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.
Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky.

The core problem is that on a network with lots of active
multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up.  If
we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache
entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does
in ineffective because route entries hold a reference
to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate
entries with no references.

IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache
GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS).

So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.

Herbert Xu eb4dea5853 net: Fix percpu counters deadlock
When we converted the protocol atomic counters such as the orphan
count and the total socket count deadlocks were introduced due to
the mismatch in BH status of the spots that used the percpu counter
operations.

Based on the diagnosis and patch by Peter Zijlstra, this patch
fixes these issues by disabling BH where we may be in process
context.

In future all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids.  So use that instead of NR_CPUS in iterators
and other comparisons.

This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

Eric W. Biederman 8eb7986396 netns: foreach_netdev_safe is insufficient in default_device_exit
During network namespace teardown we either move or delete
all of the network devices associated with a network namespace.
In the case of veth devices deleting one will also delete it's
pair device.  If both devices are in the same network namespace
then for_each_netdev_safe is insufficient as next may point
to the second veth device we have deleted.

To avoid problems I do what we do in __rtnl_kill_links and
restart the scan of the device list, after we have deleted
a device.

Currently dev_change_netnamespace does not appear to suffer from
this problem, but wireless devices are also paired and likely
should be moved between network namespaces together.  So I have
errored on the side of caution and restart the scan of the network
devices in that case as well.

The recent GRO patches introduced the NAPI removal of devices in
free_netdev.  For drivers that can change the number of queues during
driver operation, the NAPI infrastructure doesn't allow the freeing and
re-addition of NAPI entities without reloading the driver.

This change reinitializes the dev_list in each NAPI struct on delete,
instead of just deleting it (and assigning the list pointers to POISON).
Drivers that wish to remove/re-add NAPI will need to re-initialize the
netdev napi_list after removing all NAPI instances, before re-adding NAPI
devices again.

Herbert Xu 64ff3b938e tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxt
Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer
does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the
sequence number of a packet.

This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts
the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification
(though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible.
Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification
indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up.

Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which
incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and
conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data.

Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only
if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted.  This
way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with
non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have
advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent
data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet.

The only potential downside is that applications on the remote
end may see multiple SIGURG notifications.  However, this would
occur anyway with other TCP stacks.  More importantly, the outcome
of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since
the signal itself does not carry any information other than the
fact that we're in urgent mode.

Olga Kornievskaia 2efef7080f rpc: add service field to new upcall
This patch extends the new upcall with a "service" field that currently
can have 2 values: "*" or "nfs". These values specify matching rules for
principals in the keytab file. The "*" means that gssd is allowed to use
"root", "nfs", or "host" keytab entries while the other option requires
"nfs".

Restricting gssd to use the "nfs" principal is needed for when the
server performs a callback to the client.  The server in this case has
to authenticate itself as an "nfs" principal.

We also need "service" field to distiguish between two client-side cases
both currently using a uid of 0: the case of regular file access by the
root user, and the case of state-management calls (such as setclientid)
which should use a keytab for authentication.  (And the upcall should
fail if an appropriate principal can't be found.)

Two principals are involved in krb5 authentication: the target, who we
authenticate *to* (normally the name of the server, like
nfs/server.citi.umich.edu@CITI.UMICH.EDU), and the source, we we
authenticate *as* (normally a user, like bfields@UMICH.EDU)

In the case of NFSv4 callbacks, the target of the callback should be the
source of the client's setclientid call, and the source should be the
nfs server's own principal.

Therefore we allow svcgssd to pass down the name of the principal that
just authenticated, so that on setclientid we can store that principal
name with the new client, to be used later on callbacks.

\"J. Bruce Fields\ e712804ae4 rpc: call release_pipe only on last close
I can't see any reason we need to call this until either the kernel or
the last gssd closes the pipe.

Also, this allows to guarantee that open_pipe and release_pipe are
called strictly in pairs; open_pipe on gssd's first open, release_pipe
on gssd's last close (or on the close of the kernel side of the pipe, if
that comes first).

That will make it very easy for the gss code to keep track of which
pipes gssd is using.

\"J. Bruce Fields\ c381060869 rpc: add an rpc_pipe_open method
We want to transition to a new gssd upcall which is text-based and more
easily extensible.

To simplify upgrades, as well as testing and debugging, it will help if
we can upgrade gssd (to a version which understands the new upcall)
without having to choose at boot (or module-load) time whether we want
the new or the old upcall.

We will do this by providing two different pipes: one named, as
currently, after the mechanism (normally "krb5"), and supporting the
old upcall.  One named "gssd" and supporting the new upcall version.

We allow gssd to indicate which version it supports by its choice of
which pipe to open.

As we have no interest in supporting *simultaneous* use of both
versions, we'll forbid opening both pipes at the same time.

So, add a new pipe_open callback to the rpc_pipefs api, which the gss
code can use to track which pipes have been open, and to refuse opens of
incompatible pipes.

We only need this to be called on the first open of a given pipe.

Jeff Layton 6dcd3926b2 sunrpc: fix code that makes auth_gss send destroy_cred message (try #2)
There's a bit of a chicken and egg problem when it comes to destroying
auth_gss credentials. When we destroy the last instance of a GSSAPI RPC
credential, we should send a NULL RPC call with a GSS procedure of
RPCSEC_GSS_DESTROY to hint to the server that it can destroy those
creds.

This isn't happening because we're setting clearing the uptodate bit on
the credentials and then setting the operations to the gss_nullops. When
we go to do the RPC call, we try to refresh the creds. That fails with
-EACCES and the call fails.

Fix this by not clearing the UPTODATE bit for the credentials and adding
a new crdestroy op for gss_nullops that just tears down the cred without
trying to destroy the context.

The only difference between this patch and the first one is the removal
of some minor formatting deltas.

Peter Staubach 64672d55d9 optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"
Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...

Somehow, this escaped the previous purge. There should be no need to keep
any extra locks in the XDR callbacks.

The NFS client XDR code only writes into private objects, whereas all reads
of shared objects are confined to fields that do not change, such as
filehandles...

Ditto for lockd, the NFSv2/v3 client mount code, and rpcbind.

The nfsd XDR code may require the BKL, but since it does a synchronous RPC
call from a thread that already holds the lock, that issue is moot.

Kalle Valo 520eb82076 mac80211: implement dynamic power save
This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it
means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it
dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low
latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some
require the host to do it.

The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to
ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace
with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the
dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms:

iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m

Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware.
It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is
considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle.
In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature
with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS.

Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

This patch adds the helper skb_gro_receive to merge packets for
GRO.  The current method is to allocate a new header skb and then
chain the original packets to its frag_list.  This is done to
make it easier to integrate into the existing GSO framework.

In future as GSO is moved into the drivers, we can undo this and
simply chain the original packets together.

Herbert Xu 73cc19f155 ipv4: Add GRO infrastructure
This patch adds GRO support for IPv4.

The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular,
we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for
the length, ID and checksum.  In addition, the ID must form an
arithmetic sequence with a difference of one.

The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware
TSO solutions already obey this rule.  Linux itself also obeys this
whether GSO is in use or not.

In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather
making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate
skb's tail).

Herbert Xu d565b0a1a9 net: Add Generic Receive Offload infrastructure
This patch adds the top-level GRO (Generic Receive Offload) infrastructure.
This is pretty similar to LRO except that this is protocol-independent.
Instead of holding packets in an lro_mgr structure, they're now held in
napi_struct.

For drivers that intend to use this, they can set the NETIF_F_GRO bit and
call napi_gro_receive instead of netif_receive_skb or just call netif_rx.
The latter will call napi_receive_skb automatically.  When napi_gro_receive
is used, the driver must either call napi_complete/napi_rx_complete, or
call napi_gro_flush in softirq context if the driver uses the primitives
__napi_complete/__napi_rx_complete.

Protocols will set the gro_receive and gro_complete function pointers in
order to participate in this scheme.

In addition to the packet, gro_receive will get a list of currently held
packets.  Each packet in the list has a same_flow field which is non-zero
if it is a potential match for the new packet.  For each packet that may
match, they also have a flush field which is non-zero if the held packet
must not be merged with the new packet.

Once gro_receive has determined that the new skb matches a held packet,
the held packet may be processed immediately if the new skb cannot be
merged with it.  In this case gro_receive should return the pointer to
the existing skb in gro_list.  Otherwise the new skb should be merged into
the existing packet and NULL should be returned, unless the new skb makes
it impossible for any further merges to be made (e.g., FIN packet) where
the merged skb should be returned.

Whenever the skb is merged into an existing entry, the gro_receive
function should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->same_flow.  Note that if an skb
merely matches an existing entry but can't be merged with it, then
this shouldn't be set.

If gro_receive finds it pointless to hold the new skb for future merging,
it should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush.

Held packets will be flushed by napi_gro_flush which is called by
napi_complete and napi_rx_complete.

Currently held packets are stored in a singly liked list just like LRO.
The list is limited to a maximum of 8 entries.  In future, this may be
expanded to use a hash table to allow more flows to be held for merging.

Herbert Xu 1a881f27c5 net: Add frag_list support to GSO
This patch allows GSO to handle frag_list in a limited way for the
purposes of allowing packets merged by GRO to be refragmented on
output.

Most hardware won't (and aren't expected to) support handling GRO
frag_list packets directly.  Therefore we will perform GSO in
software for those cases.

However, for drivers that can support it (such as virtual NICs) we
may not have to segment the packets at all.

Whether the added overhead of GRO/GSO is worthwhile for bridges
and routers when weighed against the benefit of potentially
increasing the MTU within the host is still an open question.
However, for the case of host nodes this is undoubtedly a win.

This patch adds limited support for handling frag_list packets in
skb_segment.  The intention is to support GRO (Generic Receive Offload)
packets which will be constructed by chaining normal packets using
frag_list.

As such we require all frag_list members terminate on exact MSS
boundaries.  This is checked using BUG_ON.

As there should only be one producer in the kernel of such packets,
namely GRO, this requirement should not be difficult to maintain.

Jouni Malinen b7a530d82c mac80211: Disable requests for new scans in AP mode
AP mode operations are seriously affected if mac80211 runs through a
multi-second scan while the AP is trying to send Beacon frames on the
operation channel. While this could be implemented in a way that does
not cause too many problems, it is not very simple and will require
synchronization with Beacon frame scheduling in the drivers (scan one
channel at a time between Beacon frames). Furthermore, such scanning
takes quite a bit longer time and existing userspace applications
would be likely to timeout while waiting for the results.

For now, just refuse requests for new scans (SIOCSIWSCAN) when in AP
mode. In practice, this moves the rejection from iwl* drivers into
mac80211 to make it apply to every mac80211-based driver.

This issue shows up in associated stations getting disconnected when
something (e.g., Network Manager) requests a scan while the interface
is in AP mode. When doing this continuously (e.g., NM does it every 120
seconds), the network gets close to useless.

Benjamin Thery 8229efdaef netns: ip6mr: enable namespace support in ipv6 multicast forwarding code
This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the
network namespace where needed in IPv6 multicast forwarding code.

This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences
with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or 
mfc6_caches depending on the routines' contexts.

Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current
netns:
* ip6mr_get_route
* ip6mr_cache_report
* ip6mr_cache_find
* ip6mr_cache_unresolved
* mif6_add/mif6_delete
* ip6mr_mfc_add/ip6mr_mfc_delete
* ip6mr_reg_vif

All the IPv6 multicast forwarding variables moved to struct netns_ipv6 by
the previous patches are now referenced in the correct namespace.

Changelog:
==========
* Take into account the net associated to mfc6_cache when matching entries in
  mfc_unres_queue list.
* Call mroute_clean_tables() in ip6mr_net_exit() to free memory allocated
  per-namespace.
* Call dev_net_set() in ip6mr_reg_vif() to initialize dev->nd_net 
  correctly.

Preliminary work to make IPv6 multicast forwarding netns-aware.

Declare IPv6 multicast forwarding variables 'mroute_do_assert' and
'mroute_do_pim' per-namespace in struct netns_ipv6.

At the moment, these variables are only referenced in init_net.

Benjamin Thery 4045e57c19 netns: ip6mr: declare counter cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace
Preliminary work to make IPv6 multicast forwarding netns-aware.

Declare variable cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace: moves it into
struct netns_ipv6.

This variable counts the number of unresolved cache entries queued in the
list mfc_unres_queue. This list is kept global to all netns as the number
of entries per namespace is limited to 10 (hardcoded in routine 
ip6mr_cache_unresolved).
Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be
identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in 
struct mfc6_cache.

Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single
timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration.
In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming 
or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing 
mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch.

At the moment, cache_resolve_queue_len is only referenced in init_net.

Benjamin Thery 4a6258a0e3 netns: ip6mr: dynamically allocate mfc6_cache_array
Preliminary work to make IPv6 multicast forwarding netns-aware.

Dynamically allocates IPv6 multicast forwarding cache, mfc6_cache_array,
and moves it to struct netns_ipv6. 

At the moment, mfc6_cache_array is only referenced in init_net.

Replace 'ARRAY_SIZE(mfc6_cache_array)' with mfc6_cache_array size: MFC6_LINES.

Benjamin Thery 58701ad411 netns: ip6mr: store netns in struct mfc6_cache
This patch stores into struct mfc6_cache the network namespace each
mfc6_cache belongs to. The new member is mfc6_net.

mfc6_net is assigned at cache allocation and doesn't change during
the rest of the cache entry life.

This will help to retrieve the current netns around the IPv6 multicast
forwarding code.

At the moment, all mfc6_cache are allocated in init_net.

Changelog:
==========
* Use write_pnet()/read_pnet() to set and get mfc6_net.

Neil Horman 7b363e4400 netpoll: fix race on poll_list resulting in garbage entry
A few months back a race was discused between the netpoll napi service
path, and the fast path through net_rx_action:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/16/345470

A patch was submitted for that bug, but I think we missed a case.

Consider the following scenario:

INITIAL STATE
CPU0 has one napi_struct A on its poll_list
CPU1 is calling netpoll_send_skb and needs to call poll_napi on the same
napi_struct A that CPU0 has on its list



CPU0						CPU1
net_rx_action					poll_napi
!list_empty (returns true)			locks poll_lock for A
						 poll_one_napi
						  napi->poll
						   netif_rx_complete
						    __napi_complete
						    (removes A from poll_list)
list_entry(list->next)


In the above scenario, net_rx_action assumes that the per-cpu poll_list is
exclusive to that cpu.  netpoll of course violates that, and because the netpoll
path can dequeue from the poll list, its possible for CPU0 to detect a non-empty
list at the top of the while loop in net_rx_action, but have it become empty by
the time it calls list_entry.  Since the poll_list isn't surrounded by any other
structure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is
garbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage
is.

Given that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks
arround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best
solution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee
that the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu.  To do this I've
implemented the patch below.  It adds an additional bit to the state field in
the napi_struct.  When executing napi->poll from the netpoll_path, this bit will
be set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not
remove the napi_struct from the poll_list.  That work will be saved for the next
iteration of net_rx_action.

I've tested this and it seems to work well.  About the biggest drawback I can
see to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through
net_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the
netpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call
to net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from
the poll_list.  However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given
that the alternative is a crash.
