2011-03-03cxgb{3,4}*: improve Kconfig dependenciesDimitris Michailidis
- Remove the dependency of cxgb4 and cxgb4vf on INET. cxgb3 really depends on INET, keep it but add it directly to the driver's Kconfig entry. - Make the iSCSI drivers cxgb3i and cxgb4i available in the SCSI menu without requiring any options in the net driver menu to be enabled first. Add needed selects so the iSCSI drivers can build their corresponding net drivers. - Remove CHELSIO_T*_DEPENDS.

2011-03-01ipv6: Consolidate route lookup sequences.David S. Miller
Route lookups follow a general pattern in the ipv6 code wherein we first find the non-IPSEC route, potentially override the flow destination address due to ipv6 options settings, and then finally make an IPSEC search using either xfrm_lookup() or __xfrm_lookup(). __xfrm_lookup() is used when we want to generate a blackhole route if the key manager needs to resolve the IPSEC rules (in this case -EREMOTE is returned and the original 'dst' is left unchanged). Otherwise plain xfrm_lookup() is used and when asynchronous IPSEC resolution is necessary, we simply fail the lookup completely. All of these cases are encapsulated into two routines, ip6_dst_lookup_flow and ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow. The latter of which handles unconnected UDP datagram sockets. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-03-01udp: Add lockless transmit pathHerbert Xu
The UDP transmit path has been running under the socket lock for a long time because of the corking feature. This means that transmitting to the same socket in multiple threads does not scale at all. However, as most users don't actually use corking, the locking can be removed in the common case. This patch creates a lockless fast path where corking is not used. Please note that this does create a slight inaccuracy in the enforcement of socket send buffer limits. In particular, we may exceed the socket limit by up to (number of CPUs) * (packet size) because of the way the limit is computed. As the primary purpose of socket buffers is to indicate congestion, this should not be a great problem for now.

2011-03-01udp: Switch to ip_finish_skbHerbert Xu

2011-03-01inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skbHerbert Xu
This patch adds the helper ip_make_skb which is like ip_append_data and ip_push_pending_frames all rolled into one, except that it does not send the skb produced. The sending part is carried out by ip_send_skb, which the transport protocol can call after it has tweaked the skb. It is meant to be called in cases where corking is not used should have a one-to-one correspondence to sendmsg. This patch also adds the helper ip_finish_skb which is meant to be replace ip_push_pending_frames when corking is required. Previously the protocol stack would peek at the socket write queue and add its header to the first packet. With ip_finish_skb, the protocol stack can directly operate on the final skb instead, just like the non-corking case with ip_make_skb.

2011-03-01inet: Remove explicit write references to sk/inet in ip_append_dataHerbert Xu
In order to allow simultaneous calls to ip_append_data on the same socket, it must not modify any shared state in sk or inet (other than those that are designed to allow that such as atomic counters). This patch abstracts out write references to sk and inet_sk in ip_append_data and its friends so that we may use the underlying code in parallel.

2011-02-28sfc: Remove configurable FIFO thresholds for pause frame generationBen Hutchings
In Falcon we can configure the fill levels of the RX data FIFO which trigger the generation of pause frames (if enabled), and we have module parameters for this. Siena does not allow the levels to be configured (or, if it does, this is done by the MC firmware and is not configurable by drivers). So far as I can tell, the module parameters are not used by our internal scripts and have not been documented (with the exception of the short parameter descriptions). Therefore, remove them and always initialise Falcon with the default values. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

2011-02-28netfilter: nf_ct_tcp: fix out of sync scenario while in SYN_RECVPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch fixes the out of sync scenarios while in SYN_RECV state. Quoting Jozsef, what it happens if we are out of sync if the following: > > b. conntrack entry is outdated, new SYN received > > - (b1) we ignore it but save the initialization data from it > > - (b2) when the reply SYN/ACK receives and it matches the saved data, > > we pick up the new connection This is what it should happen if we are in SYN_RECV state. Initially, the SYN packet hits b1, thus we save data from it. But the SYN/ACK packet is considered a retransmission given that we're in SYN_RECV state. Therefore, we never hit b2 and we don't get in sync. To fix this, we ignore SYN/ACK if we are in SYN_RECV. If the previous packet was a SYN, then we enter the ignore case that get us in sync. This patch helps a lot to conntrackd in stress scenarios (assumming a client that generates lots of small TCP connections). During the failover, consider that the new primary has injected one outdated flow in SYN_RECV state (this is likely to happen if the conntrack event rate is high because the backup will be a bit delayed from the primary). With the current code, if the client starts a new fresh connection that matches the tuple, the SYN packet will be ignored without updating the state tracking, and the SYN+ACK in reply will blocked as it will not pass checkings III or IV (since all state tracking in the original direction is not initialized because of the SYN packet was ignored and the ignore case that get us in sync is not applied). I posted a couple of patches before this one. Changli Gao spotted a simpler way to fix this problem. This patch implements his idea.
