Implements the AF_INET link address family exposing the per
device configuration settings via netlink using the attribute
IFLA_INET_CONF.
The format of IFLA_INET_CONF differs depending on the direction
the attribute is sent. The attribute sent by the kernel consists
of a u32 array, basically a 1:1 copy of in_device->cnf.data[].
The attribute expected by the kernel must consist of a sequence
of nested u32 attributes, each representing a change request,
e.g.
[IFLA_INET_CONF] = {
[IPV4_DEVCONF_FORWARDING] = 1,
[IPV4_DEVCONF_NOXFRM] = 0,
}

Each net_device contains address family specific data such as
per device settings and statistics. We already expose this data
via procfs/sysfs and partially netlink.
The netlink method requires the requester to send one RTM_GETLINK
request for each address family it wishes to receive data of
and then merge this data itself.
This patch implements a new API which combines all address family
specific link data in a new netlink attribute IFLA_AF_SPEC.
IFLA_AF_SPEC contains a sequence of nested attributes, one for each
address family which in turn defines the structure of its own
attribute. Example:
[IFLA_AF_SPEC] = {
[AF_INET] = {
[IFLA_INET_CONF] = ...,
},
[AF_INET6] = {
[IFLA_INET6_FLAGS] = ...,
[IFLA_INET6_CONF] = ...,
}
}
The API also allows for address families to implement a function
which parses the IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute sent by userspace to
implement address family specific link options.

The current tcp_connect code completely ignores errors from sending an skb.
This makes sense in many situations (like -ENOBUFFS) but I want to be able to
immediately fail connections if they are denied by the SELinux netfilter hook.
Netfilter does not normally return ECONNREFUSED when it drops a packet so we
respect that error code as a final and fatal error that can not be recovered.

vlan is a stacked device, like tunnels. We should use the lockless
mechanism we are using in tunnels and loopback.
This patch completely removes locking in TX path.
tx stat counters are added into existing percpu stat structure, renamed
from vlan_rx_stats to vlan_pcpu_stats.
Note : this partially reverts commit 2e59af3dcbdf (vlan: multiqueue vlan

contiguous memory allocation (v4)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Version 4 of this patch.
Change notes:
1) Removed extra memset. Didn't think kcalloc added a GFP_ZERO the way kzalloc did :)
Summary:
It was shown to me recently that systems under high load were driven very deep
into swap when tcpdump was run. The reason this happened was because the
AF_PACKET protocol has a SET_RINGBUFFER socket option that allows the user space
application to specify how many entries an AF_PACKET socket will have and how
large each entry will be. It seems the default setting for tcpdump is to set
the ring buffer to 32 entries of 64 Kb each, which implies 32 order 5
allocation. Thats difficult under good circumstances, and horrid under memory
pressure.
I thought it would be good to make that a bit more usable. I was going to do a
simple conversion of the ring buffer from contigous pages to iovecs, but
unfortunately, the metadata which AF_PACKET places in these buffers can easily
span a page boundary, and given that these buffers get mapped into user space,
and the data layout doesn't easily allow for a change to padding between frames
to avoid that, a simple iovec change is just going to break user space ABI
consistency.
So I've done this, I've added a three tiered mechanism to the af_packet set_ring
socket option. It attempts to allocate memory in the following order:
1) Using __get_free_pages with GFP_NORETRY set, so as to fail quickly without
digging into swap
2) Using vmalloc
3) Using __get_free_pages with GFP_NORETRY clear, causing us to try as hard as
needed to get the memory
The effect is that we don't disturb the system as much when we're under load,
while still being able to conduct tcpdumps effectively.
Tested successfully by me.

This patch move RX queue allocation to alloc_netdev_mq and freeing of
the queues to free_netdev (symmetric to TX queue allocation). Each
kobject RX queue takes a reference to the queue's device so that the
device can't be freed before all the kobjects have been released-- this
obviates the need for reference counts specific to RX queues.

crypto_free_cipher() is a wrapper around crypto_free_tfm() which is a
wrapper around crypto_destroy_tfm() and the latter can handle being passed
a NULL pointer, so checking for NULL in the
ieee80211_aes_key_free()/ieee80211_aes_cmac_key_free() wrappers around
crypto_free_cipher() is pointless and just increase object code size
needlesly and makes us execute extra test/branch instructions that we
don't need.
Btw; don't we have to many wrappers around wrappers ad nauseam here?
Anyway, this patch removes the redundant conditionals.

After a module loads you will have loaded the world roaming regulatory
domain or a custom regulatory domain. Further regulatory hints are
welcomed and should be respected unless the regulatory hint is coming
from a country IE as the IEEE spec allows for a country IE to be a subset
of what is allowed by the local regulatory agencies.
So disable all channels that do not fit a regulatory domain sent
from a unless the hint is from a country IE and the country IE had
no information about the band we are currently processing.
This fixes a few regulatory issues, for example for drivers that depend
on CRDA and had no 5 GHz freqencies allowed were not properly disabling
5 GHz at all, furthermore it also allows users to restrict devices
further as was intended.
If you recieve a country IE upon association we will also disable the
channels that are not allowed if the country IE had at least one
channel on the respective band we are procesing.
This was the original intention behind this design but it was
completely overlooked...

We currently use vlan_features to check for TSO support if there is
a vlan tag. However, it's quite likely that the NIC is not able to
do TSO when there is an arbitrary number of tags. Therefore if there

When checking if it is necessary to linearize a packet, we currently
use vlan_features if the packet contains either an in-band or out-
of-band vlan tag. However, in-band tags aren't special in any way
for scatter/gather since they are part of the packet buffer and are
simply more data to DMA. Therefore, only use vlan_features for out-
of-band tags, which could potentially have some interaction with
scatter/gather.

This patch replaces an almost identical replication of code: large parts
of dccp_parse_options() re-appeared as ccid2_ackvector() in ccid2.c.
Apart from the duplication, this caused two more problems:
1. CCIDs should not need to be concerned with parsing header options;
2. one can not assume that Ack Vectors appear as a contiguous area within an
skb, it is legal to insert other options and/or padding in between. The
current code would throw an error and stop reading in such a case.
Since Ack Vectors provide CCID-specific information, they are now processed
by the CCID directly, separating this functionality from the main DCCP code.

This removes
* functions for which updates have been provided in the preceding patches and
* the @av_vec_len field - it is no longer necessary since the buffer length is
now always computed dynamically.
Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
|

The problem with Ack Vectors is that
i) their length is variable and can in principle grow quite large,
ii) it is hard to predict exactly how large they will be.
Due to the second point it seems not a good idea to reduce the MPS; in
particular when on average there is enough room for the Ack Vector and an
increase in length is momentarily due to some burst loss, after which the
Ack Vector returns to its normal/average length.
The solution taken by this patch is to subtract a minimum-expected Ack Vector
length from the MPS, and to defer any larger Ack Vectors onto a separate
Sync - but only if indeed there is no space left on the skb.
This patch provides the infrastructure to schedule Sync-packets for transporting
(urgent) out-of-band data. Its signalling is quicker than scheduling an Ack, since
it does not need to wait for new application data.

This aggregates Ack Vector processing (handling input and clearing old state)
into one function, for the following reasons and benefits:
* all Ack Vector-specific processing is now in one place;
* duplicated code is removed;
* ensuring sanity: from an Ack Vector point of view, it is better to clear the
old state first before entering new state;
* Ack Event handling happens mostly within the CCIDs, not the main DCCP module.

This patch updates the code which registers new packets as received, using the
new circular buffer interface. It contributes a new algorithm which

Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

This provides a routine to consistently update the buffer state when the
peer acknowledges receipt of Ack Vectors; updating state in the list of Ack
Vectors as well as in the circular buffer.
While based on RFC 4340, several additional (and necessary) precautions were
added to protect the consistency of the buffer state. These additions are
essential, since analysis and experience showed that the basic algorithm was
insufficient for this task (which lead to problems that were hard to debug).
The algorithm now
* deals with HC-sender acknowledging to HC-receiver and vice versa,
* keeps track of the last unacknowledged but received seqno in tail_ackno,
* has special cases to reset the overflow condition when appropriate,
* is protected against receiving older information (would mess up buffer state).
