Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"A couple interesting SKB fragment handling fixes, plus the usual small
bits here and there:1) Fix 64-bit divide build failure on 32-bit platforms in mlx5, from
Tim Gardner.2) Get rid of a stupid reimplementation on "%*phC" in our sysfs MAC
address printing helper.3) Fix NETIF_F_SG capability advertisement in hyperv driver, if the
device can't do checksumming offloads then it shouldn't say it can
do SG either. From Haiyang Zhang.4) bgmac needs to depend on PHYLIB, from Hauke Mehrtens.
5) Don't leak DMA mappings on mapping failures, from Neil Horman.
6) We need to reset the transport header of SKBs in ipv4 before we
attempt to perform early socket demux, just like ipv6 does. From
Eric Dumazet.7) Add missing locking on vxlan device removal, from Stephen
Hemminger.8) xen-netfront has to make two passes over an SKB to prepare it for
transfer. One pass calculates the number of slots needed, the
second massages the SKB and fills the slots. Unfortunately, the
first pass doesn't calculate the number of slots properly so we
can end up trying to build a MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 SKB which doesn't
work out so well. Fix from Jan Beulich with help and discussion
with several others.9) Fix a similar problem in tun and macvtap, which have to split up
scatter-gather elements at PAGE_SIZE boundaries. Don't do
zerocopy if it would result in a > MAX_SKB_FRAGS skb. Fixes from
Jason Wang.10) On receive, once we've decoded the VLAN state completely, clear
skb->vlan_tci. Otherwise demuxed tunnels underneath can trigger
the VLAN code again, corrupting the packet. Fix from Eric
Dumazet"* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net:

In commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e
("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols")
Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST
if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this
particular id.But we also have a problem if prio bits are set.
Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a
vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device,
because skb->vlan_tci is set.Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000)
being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address :16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 >

We can probably do better in future kernels :
vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of
a per vlan_dev one.For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.This removes all the net/* uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/20/589

This change makes it so that the GRE and VXLAN tunnels can make use of Tx
checksum offload support provided by some drivers via the hw_enc_features.
Without this fix enabling GSO means sacrificing Tx checksum offload and
this actually leads to a performance regression as shown below:Utilization
Send
Throughput local GSO
10^6bits/s % S state
6276.51 8.39 enabled
7123.52 8.42 disabledTo resolve this it was necessary to address two items. First
netif_skb_features needed to be updated so that it would correctly handle
the Trans Ether Bridging protocol without impacting the need to check for
Q-in-Q tagging. To do this it was necessary to update harmonize_features
so that it used skb_network_protocol instead of just using the outer
protocol.Second it was necessary to update the GRE and UDP tunnel segmentation
offloads so that they would reset the encapsulation bit and inner header
offsets after the offload was complete.As a result of this change I have seen the following results on a interface
with Tx checksum enabled for encapsulated frames:Utilization

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
trickeled in.Highlights:
1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.
Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")From Eliezer Tamir.
2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
Eric Dumazet.3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
Pavel Emelyanov.5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
Rony Efraim.6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.
7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
from Cong Wang.9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
support receiving on multiple UDP ports.10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
Borkmann.11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
From Daniel Borkmann.13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
from Johannes Berg.14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
Cheng.16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
Horman.17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle
network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri
Pirko and Timo Teräs.18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
Huewe.19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet.20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.
22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From
Willem de Bruijn.23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
Dumazet.24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also
from Eric Dumazet.25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
from Vlad Yasevich.26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.
27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
too, from David Majnemer.28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa.30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

There is a race in neighbour code, because neigh_destroy() uses
skb_queue_purge(&neigh->arp_queue) without holding neighbour lock,
while other parts of the code assume neighbour rwlock is what

When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the
rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue
to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a
SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to
the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the
writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the
devnet_rename_seq sequence.This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name())
and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and
SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt.The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid
spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become
even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying
the access to give the writer process a chance to finish.The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the
reader process in the contended case, but this is better than
deadlocking the system.Signed-off-by: Nicolas Schichan

Callers of skb_seq_read() are currently forced to call skb_abort_seq_read()
even when consuming all the data because the last call to skb_seq_read (the
one that returns 0 to indicate the end) fails to unmap the last fragment page.With this patch callers will be allowed to traverse the SKB data by calling
skb_prepare_seq_read() once and repeatedly calling skb_seq_read() as originally

whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the

be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try

As part of the push to add 802.1ad server provider tagging support to the
kernel the VLAN features flags were renamed. Unfortunately the kernel name
for the VLAN hardware acceleration features that the kernel shows user space
was included in the rename, which broke ethtool (txvlan and rxvlan options
do not work). This patch restores the original names, i.e. the original ABI.
If we wanted to make clear to users that we are refering to CTAGs we can
always change ethtool's short_name and long_name for these features (for
example something along the lines of txvlan -> txvlan-ctag, tx-vlan-offload ->
tx-vlan-ctag-offload).Cc: Patrick McHardy

buffer size (u8).As a result, with a single flow, the first 128 packets are accepted
(correct), the second 128 packets dropped (correct) and then the
history[] array has filled, so that each subsequent new packet
causes an increment in the bucket for new_flow plus a decrement
for old_flow: a steady state.This is fine if packets are dropped, as the steady state goes away
as soon as a mix of traffic reappears. But, because the 256th packet
overflowed the bucket to 0: no packets are dropped.Instead of explicitly adding an overflow check, this patch changes
FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY to never be able to overflow a single bucket.Reported-by: Fengguang Wu

Reduce the uses of this unnecessary typedef.
Done via perl script:
$ git grep --name-only -w ctl_table net | \
xargs perl -p -i -e '\
sub trim { my ($local) = @_; $local =~ s/(^\s+|\s+$)//g; return $local; } \
s/\b(?<!struct\s)ctl_table\b(\s*\*\s*|\s+\w+)/"struct ctl_table " . trim($1)/ge'Reflow the modified lines that now exceed 80 columns.

Since team functionality relies heavily on userspace daemon, we need to
deliver event to userspace via Netlink as quick as possible. So make all
team port device link events urgent.Signed-off-by: Flavio Leitner

We currently allow for numa-node aware skb allocation only within the
fill_packet_ipv4() path, but not in fill_packet_ipv6(). Consolidate that
code to a common allocation helper to enable numa-node aware skb
allocation for ipv6, and use it in both paths. This also makes both
functions a bit more readable.Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

struct gnet_stats_rate_est contains u32 fields, so the bytes per second
field can wrap at 34360Mbit.Add a new gnet_stats_rate_est64 structure to get 64bit bps/pps fields,
and switch the kernel to use this structure natively.This structure is dumped to user space as a new attribute :
TCA_STATS_RATE_EST64
Old tc command will now display the capped bps (to 34360Mbit), instead
of wrapped values, and updated tc command will display correct
information.Old tc command output, after patch :
eric:~# tc -s -d qd sh dev lo
qdisc pfifo 8001: root refcnt 2 limit 1000p
Sent 80868245400 bytes 1978837 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
rate 34360Mbit 189696pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0This patch carefully reorganizes "struct Qdisc" layout to get optimal
performance on SMP.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

Since commit 1a37e412a022(net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct
skbuff), skb->*_header are relative to skb->head,
so copy_skb_header() should not call skb_headers_offset_update() now,
and we should pass correct parameter to skb_headers_offset_update() in
pskb_expand_head() and skb_copy_expand().Signed-off-by: Weiping Pan
