2010-05-18ipv6: Never schedule DAD timer on dead addressHerbert Xu
This patch ensures that all places that schedule the DAD timer look at the address state in a safe manner before scheduling the timer. This ensures that we don't end up with pending timers after deleting an address. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-05-18ipv6: Use POSTDAD stateHerbert Xu
This patch makes use of the new POSTDAD state. This prevents a race between DAD completion and failure. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-05-18ipv6: Use state_lock to protect ifa stateHerbert Xu
This patch makes use of the new state_lock to synchronise between updates to the ifa state. This fixes the issue where a remotely triggered address deletion (through DAD failure) coincides with a local administrative address deletion, causing certain actions to be performed twice incorrectly.

2010-05-18ipv6: Replace inet6_ifaddr->dead with stateHerbert Xu
This patch replaces the boolean dead flag on inet6_ifaddr with a state enum. This allows us to roll back changes when deleting an address according to whether DAD has completed or not. This patch only adds the state field and does not change the logic. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-05-18net: Add netlink support for virtual port management (was iovnl)Scott Feldman
Add new netdev ops ndo_{set|get}_vf_port to allow setting of port-profile on a netdev interface. Extends netlink socket RTM_SETLINK/ RTM_GETLINK with two new sub msgs called IFLA_VF_PORTS and IFLA_PORT_SELF (added to end of IFLA_cmd list). These are both nested atrtibutes using this layout: [IFLA_NUM_VF] [IFLA_VF_PORTS] [IFLA_VF_PORT] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... [IFLA_VF_PORT] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... ... [IFLA_PORT_SELF] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... These attributes are design to be set and get symmetrically. VF_PORTS is a list of VF_PORTs, one for each VF, when dealing with an SR-IOV device. PORT_SELF is for the PF of the SR-IOV device, in case it wants to also have a port-profile, or for the case where the VF==PF, like in enic patch 2/2 of this patch set. A port-profile is used to configure/enable the external switch virtual port backing the netdev interface, not to configure the host-facing side of the netdev. A port-profile is an identifier known to the switch. How port- profiles are installed on the switch or how available port-profiles are made know to the host is outside the scope of this patch. There are two types of port-profiles specs in the netlink msg. The first spec is for 802.1Qbg (pre-)standard, VDP protocol. The second spec is for devices that run a similar protocol as VDP but in firmware, thus hiding the protocol details. In either case, the specs have much in common and makes sense to define the netlink msg as the union of the two specs. For example, both specs have a notition of associating/deassociating a port-profile. And both specs require some information from the hypervisor manager, such as client port instance ID. The general flow is the port-profile is applied to a host netdev interface using RTM_SETLINK, the receiver of the RTM_SETLINK msg communicates with the switch, and the switch virtual port backing the host netdev interface is configured/enabled based on the settings defined by the port-profile. What those settings comprise, and how those settings are managed is again outside the scope of this patch, since this patch only deals with the first step in the flow.

2010-05-18tcp: tcp_synack_options() fix Eric Dumazet
Commit 33ad798c924b4a (tcp: options clean up) introduced a problem if MD5+SACK+timestamps were used in initial SYN message. Some stacks (old linux for example) try to negotiate MD5+SACK+TSTAMP sessions, but since 40 bytes of tcp options space are not enough to store all the bits needed, we chose to disable timestamps in this case. We send a SYN-ACK _without_ timestamp option, but socket has timestamps enabled and all further outgoing messages contain a TS block, all with the initial timestamp of the remote peer. Fix is to really disable timestamps option for the whole session. Reported-by: Bijay Singh <Bijay.Singh@guavus.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-05-18net: add a noref bit on skb dstEric Dumazet

Change _skb_dst to _skb_refdst to make sure all uses are catched. skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but with a lockdep check to make sure a noref dst is not given if current user is not rcu protected. New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb. (with lockdep check) skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted. skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb is queued and not anymore RCU protected. Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if !IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue(). Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb(). Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it later to do one dirtying per jiffies.

2010-05-16net: Introduce sk_route_nocapsEric Dumazet
TCP-MD5 sessions have intermittent failures, when route cache is invalidated. ip_queue_xmit() has to find a new route, calls sk_setup_caps(sk, &rt->u.dst), destroying the sk->sk_route_caps &= ~NETIF_F_GSO_MASK that MD5 desperately try to make all over its way (from tcp_transmit_skb() for example) So we send few bad packets, and everything is fine when tcp_transmit_skb() is called again for this socket. Since ip_queue_xmit() is at a lower level than TCP-MD5, I chose to use a socket field, sk_route_nocaps, containing bits to mask on sk_route_caps.

2010-05-16net: Consistent skb timestampingEric Dumazet
With RPS inclusion, skb timestamping is not consistent in RX path. If netif_receive_skb() is used, its deferred after RPS dispatch. If netif_rx() is used, its done before RPS dispatch. This can give strange tcpdump timestamps results. I think timestamping should be done as soon as possible in the receive path, to get meaningful values (ie timestamps taken at the time packet was delivered by NIC driver to our stack), even if NAPI already can defer timestamping a bit (RPS can help to reduce the gap) Tom Herbert prefer to sample timestamps after RPS dispatch. In case sampling is expensive (HPET/acpi_pm on x86), this makes sense. Let admins switch from one mode to another, using a new sysctl, /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_tstamp_prequeue Its default value (1), means timestamps are taken as soon as possible, before backlog queueing, giving accurate timestamps. Setting a 0 value permits to sample timestamps when processing backlog, after RPS dispatch, to lower the load of the pre-RPS cpu.

This is wrong since normally we do not keep explicit references (instead we hold reference to the cache entry which holds references to policies). drop_pols is set to num_pols if we are holding the references, so use that.
