Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,
Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).7kloc removed.

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)->data. Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

The current code does not fill the msg_name member in case it is set.
It also does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes
net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable

Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for
an 802.3 frame. Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field
are Ethernet II.Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and
I could find to use the new constant.Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN
should be >= not >.As suggested by Jesse Gross.
Compile tested only.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.

Now that we can return zero from pppoatm_send() for reasons *other* than
the queue being full, that means we can't depend on a subsequent call to
pppoatm_pop() waking the queue, and we might leave it stalled
indefinitely.Use the ->release_cb() callback to wake the queue after the sock is
unlocked.Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse
Acked-by: Krzysztof Mazur -
Avoid submitting packets to a vcc which is being closed. Things go badly
wrong when the ->pop method gets later called after everything's been
torn down.Use the ATM socket lock for synchronisation with vcc_destroy_socket(),
which clears the ATM_VF_READY bit under the same lock. Otherwise, we
could end up submitting a packet to the device driver even after its
->ops->close method has been called. And it could call the vcc's ->pop
method after the protocol has been shut down. Which leads to a panic.Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse
Acked-by: Krzysztof Mazur -
The immediate use case for this is that it will allow us to ensure that a
pppoatm queue is woken after it has to drop a packet due to the sock being
locked.Note that 'release_cb' is called when the socket is *unlocked*. This is
not to be confused with vcc_release() — which probably ought to be called
vcc_close().Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

The vcc_destroy_socket() closes vcc before the protocol is detached
from vcc by calling vcc->push() with NULL skb. This leaves some time
window, where the protocol may call vcc->send() on closed vcc
and crash.Now pppoatm_send(), like vcc_sendmsg(), checks for vcc flags that
indicate that vcc is not ready. If the vcc is not ready we just
drop frame. Queueing frames is much more complicated because we
don't have callbacks that inform us about vcc flags changes.Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Mazur

The pppoatm_send() does not take any lock that will prevent concurrent
vcc_sendmsg(). This causes two problems:- there is no locking between checking the send queue size
with atm_may_send() and incrementing sk_wmem_alloc,
and the real queue size can be a little higher than sk_sndbuf- the vcc->sendmsg() can be called concurrently. I'm not sure
if it's allowed. Some drivers (eni, nicstar, ...) seem
to assume it will never happen.Now pppoatm_send() takes ATM socket lock, the same that is used
in vcc_sendmsg() and other ATM socket functions. The pppoatm_send()
is called with BH disabled, so bh_lock_sock() is used instead
of lock_sock().Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Mazur

The atm is using atmvcc->push(vcc, NULL) callback to notify protocol
that vcc will be closed and protocol must detach from it. This callback
is usually used by protocol to decrement module usage count by module_put(),
but it leaves small window then module is still used after module_put().Now the owner of push() callback is kept in atmvcc and
module_put(atmvcc->owner) is called after the protocol is detached from vcc.Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Mazur

There's really no excuse for an additional wmem_default of buffering
between the netdev queue and the ATM device. Two packets (one in-flight,
and one ready to send) ought to be fine. It's not as if it should take
long to get another from the netdev queue when we need it.If necessary we can make the queue space configurable later, but I don't
think it's likely to be necessary.cf. commit 9d02daf754238adac48fa075ee79e7edd3d79ed3 (pppoatm: Fix
excessive queue bloat) which did something very similar for PPPoATM.Note that there is a tremendously unlikely race condition which may
result in qspace temporarily going negative. If a CPU running the
br2684_pop() function goes off into the weeds for a long period of time
after incrementing qspace to 1, but before calling netdev_wake_queue()...
and another CPU ends up calling br2684_start_xmit() and *stopping* the
queue again before the first CPU comes back, the netdev queue could
end up being woken when qspace has already reached zero.An alternative approach to coping with this race would be to check in
br2684_start_xmit() for qspace==0 and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, but just
using '> 0' and '< 1' for comparison instead of '== 0' and '!= 0' is
simpler. It just warranted a mention of *why* we do it that way...Move the call to atmvcc->send() to happen *after* the accounting and
potentially stopping the netdev queue, in br2684_xmit_vcc(). This matters
if the ->send() call suffers an immediate failure, because it'll call
br2684_pop() with the offending skb before returning. We want that to
happen *after* we've done the initial accounting for the packet in
question. Also make it return an appropriate success/failure indication
while we're at it.Tested by running 'ping -l 1000 bottomless.aaisp.net.uk' from within my
network, with only a single PPPoE-over-BR2684 link running. And after
setting txqueuelen on the nas0 interface to something low (5, in fact).
Before the patch, we'd see about 15 packets being queued and a resulting
latency of ~56ms being reached. After the patch, we see only about 8,
which is fairly much what we expect. And a max latency of ~36ms. On this
OpenWRT box, wmem_default is 163840.Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

We discovered that PPPoATM has an excessively deep transmit queue. A
queue the size of the default socket send buffer (wmem_default) is
maintained between the PPP generic core and the ATM device.Fix it to queue a maximum of *two* packets. The one the ATM device is
currently working on, and one more for the ATM driver to process
immediately in its TX done interrupt handler. The PPP core is designed
to feed packets to the channel with minimal latency, so that really
ought to be enough to keep the ATM device busy.While we're at it, fix the fact that we were triggering the wakeup
tasklet on *every* pppoatm_pop() call. The comment saying "this is
inefficient, but doing it right is too hard" turns out to be overly
pessimistic... I think :)On machines like the Traverse Geos, with a slow Geode CPU and two
high-speed ADSL2+ interfaces, there were reports of extremely high CPU
usage which could partly be attributed to the extra wakeups.(The wakeup handling could actually be made a whole lot easier if we
stop checking sk->sk_sndbuf altogether. Given that we now only queue
*two* packets ever, one wonders what the point is. As it is, you could
already deadlock the thing by setting the sk_sndbuf to a value lower
than the MTU of the device, and it'd just block for ever.)Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse
