2012-03-28net/core: dev_forward_skb() should clear skb_iifBenjamin LaHaise
While investigating another bug, I found that the code on the incoming path in __netif_receive_skb will only set skb->skb_iif if it is already 0. When dev_forward_skb() is used in the case of interfaces like veth, skb_iif may already have been set. Making dev_forward_skb() cause the packet to look like a newly received packet would seem to the the correct behaviour here, as otherwise the wrong incoming interface can be reported for such a packet.

2012-03-21net: fix napi_reuse_skb() skb reserveEric Dumazet
napi->skb is allocated in napi_get_frags() using netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(), with a reserve of NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN bytes. However, when such skb is recycled in napi_reuse_skb(), it ends with a reserve of NET_IP_ALIGN which is suboptimal.

2012-02-24static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and ↵Ingo Molnar
static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

2012-02-21rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocationGreg Rose
Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

2012-02-21neighbour: Fixed race condition at tbl->nhtMichel Machado
When the fixed race condition happens: 1. While function neigh_periodic_work scans the neighbor hash table pointed by field tbl->nht, it unlocks and locks tbl->lock between buckets in order to call cond_resched. 2. Assume that function neigh_periodic_work calls cond_resched, that is, the lock tbl->lock is available, and function neigh_hash_grow runs. 3. Once function neigh_hash_grow finishes, and RCU calls neigh_hash_free_rcu, the original struct neigh_hash_table that function neigh_periodic_work was using doesn't exist anymore. 4. Once back at neigh_periodic_work, whenever the old struct neigh_hash_table is accessed, things can go badly.

2012-02-21sock: Introduce the SO_PEEK_OFF sock optionPavel Emelyanov
This one specifies where to start MSG_PEEK-ing queue data from. When set to negative value means that MSG_PEEK works as ususally -- peeks from the head of the queue always. When some bytes are peeked from queue and the peeking offset is non negative it is moved forward so that the next peek will return next portion of data. When non-peeking recvmsg occurs and the peeking offset is non negative is is moved backward so that the next peek will still peek the proper data (i.e. the one that would have been picked if there were no non peeking recv in between). The offset is set using per-proto opteration to let the protocol handle the locking issues and to check whether the peeking offset feature is supported by the protocol the socket belongs to.

2012-01-26net: RTNETLINK adjusting values of min_ifinfo_dump_sizeStefan Gula
Setting link parameters on a netdevice changes the value of if_nlmsg_size(), therefore it is necessary to recalculate min_ifinfo_dump_size. Signed-off-by: Stefan Gula <steweg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-01-26netns: fix net_alloc_generic()Eric Dumazet
When a new net namespace is created, we should attach to it a "struct net_generic" with enough slots (even empty), or we can hit the following BUG_ON() : [ 200.752016] kernel BUG at include/net/netns/generic.h:40! ...

2012-01-22net: introduce res_counter_charge_nofail() for socket allocationsGlauber Costa
There is a case in __sk_mem_schedule(), where an allocation is beyond the maximum, but yet we are allowed to proceed. It happens under the following condition: sk->sk_wmem_queued + size >= sk->sk_sndbuf The network code won't revert the allocation in this case, meaning that at some point later it'll try to do it. Since this is never communicated to the underlying res_counter code, there is an inbalance in res_counter uncharge operation. I see two ways of fixing this: 1) storing the information about those allocations somewhere in memcg, and then deducting from that first, before we start draining the res_counter, 2) providing a slightly different allocation function for the res_counter, that matches the original behavior of the network code more closely. I decided to go for #2 here, believing it to be more elegant, since #1 would require us to do basically that, but in a more obscure way.

2012-01-22pktgen: Fix unsigned function that is returning negative valsPaul Gortmaker
Every call to num_args() immediately checks the return value for less than zero, as it will return -EFAULT for a failed get_user() call. So it makes no sense for the function to be declared as an unsigned long. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
