As we can check if an address is vmalloc address with is_vmalloc_addr(),

The following commit causes the pgv->buffer may point to the memory
returned by vmalloc(). And we can't use virt_to_page() for the vmalloc
address.This patch introduces a new inline function pgv_to_page(), which calls
vmalloc_to_page() for the vmalloc address, and virt_to_page() for the
__get_free_pages address.We used to increase page pointer to get the next page at the next page
address, after Neil's patch, it is wrong, as the physical address may
be not continuous. This patch also fixes this issue.commit 0e3125c755445664f00ad036e4fc2cd32fd52877

Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter
instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer.As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and
all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter
bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we
remove it from sk_run_filter() params.On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b374a6b871
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory)Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to
avoid too many ifdefs in this code.This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A
accumulator.On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter()
runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional

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 swap2) Using vmalloc
3) Using __get_free_pages with GFP_NORETRY clear, causing us to try as hard as
needed to get the memoryThe 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 adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet
timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by
packet_mmap.PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as
SO_TIMESTAMPING. However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by
PACKET_TIMESTAMP. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set.If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside
the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was
added).Signed-off-by: Scott McMillan

The af_packet protocol is used by Perl to do ioctls as reported by
Stephane Riviere:"Net::RawIP relies on SIOCGIFADDR et SIOCGIFHWADDR to get the IP and MAC
addresses of the network interface."But in a new network namespace these ioctl fail because it is disabled for
a namespace different from the init_net_ns.These two lines should not be there as af_inet and af_packet are
namespace aware since a long time now. I suppose we forget to remove these
lines because we sent the af_packet first, before af_inet was supported.Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

My previous patch 914c8ad2d18b62ad1420f518c0cab0b0b90ab308 incorrectly changed
the length check in packet_mc_add to be more strict. The problem is that
userspace is not filling this field (and it stays zeroed) in case of setting
PACKET_MR_PROMISC or PACKET_MR_ALLMULTI. So move the strict check to the point
in path where the addr_len must be set correctly.Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko

The rcu_dereference() in __sk_free() is protected by the fact
that it is never reached if an update could change it. Check

This patch adds GSO/checksum offload to af_packet sockets using
virtio_net_hdr. Based on Rusty's patch to add this support to tun.
It allows GSO/checksum offload to be enabled when using raw socket
backend with virtio_net.
Adds PACKET_VNET_HDR socket option to prepend virtio_net_hdr in the
receive path and process/skip virtio_net_hdr in the send path. This
option is only allowed with SOCK_RAW sockets attached to ethernet
type devices.v2 updates
----------
Michael's Comments
- Perform length check in packet_snd() when GSO is off even when
vnet_hdr is present.
- Check for SKB_GSO_FCOE type and return -EINVAL
- don't allow tx/rx ring when vnet_hdr is enabled.

Currently PACKET_TX_RING forces certain amount of every frame to remain
unused. This probably originates from an early version of the
PACKET_TX_RING patch that in fact used the extra space when the (since
removed) CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP_ZERO_COPY option was enabled. The current
code does not make any use of this extra space.This patch removes the extra space reservation and lets userspace make
