When route caching is disabled (rt_caching returns false), We still use route
cache entries that are created and passed into rt_intern_hash once. These
routes need to be made usable for the one call path that holds a reference to
them, and they need to be reclaimed when they're finished with their use. To be
made usable, they need to be associated with a neighbor table entry (which they
currently are not), otherwise iproute_finish2 just discards the packet, since we
don't know which L2 peer to send the packet to. To do this binding, we need to
follow the path a bit higher up in rt_intern_hash, which calls
arp_bind_neighbour, but not assign the route entry to the hash table.
Currently, if caching is off, we simply assign the route to the rp pointer and
are reutrn success. This patch associates us with a neighbor entry first.Secondly, we need to make sure that any single use routes like this are known to
the garbage collector when caching is off. If caching is off, and we try to
hash in a route, it will leak when its refcount reaches zero. To avoid this,
this patch calls rt_free on the route cache entry passed into rt_intern_hash.
This places us on the gc list for the route cache garbage collector, so that
when its refcount reaches zero, it will be reclaimed (Thanks to Alexey for this
suggestion).I've tested this on a local system here, and with these patches in place, I'm
able to maintain routed connectivity to remote systems, even if I set
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/rt_cache_rebuild_count to -1, which forces rt_caching to
return false.Signed-off-by: Neil Horman

In order to get the tun driver to account packets, we need to be
able to receive packets with destructors set. To be on the safe
side, I added an skb_orphan call for all protocols by default since
some of them (IP in particular) cannot handle receiving packets
destructors properly.Now it seems that at least one protocol (CAN) expects to be able
to pass skb->sk through the rx path without getting clobbered.So this patch attempts to fix this properly by moving the skb_orphan
call to where it's actually needed. In particular, I've added it
to skb_set_owner_[rw] which is what most users of skb->destructor
call.This is actually an improvement for tun too since it means that
we only give back the amount charged to the socket when the skb
is passed to another socket that will also be charged accordingly.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Compiling the kernel with clang has shown this warning:
net/netfilter/xt_rateest.c:69:16: warning: self-comparison always results in a

Looking at the code:

ret &= bps1 == bps2;
if (info->flags & XT_RATEEST_MATCH_PPS)
ret &= pps2 == pps2;Judging from the MATCH_BPS case it seems to be a typo, with the intention of

The RCU protected conntrack hash lookup only checks whether the entry
has a refcount of zero to decide whether it is stale. This is not
sufficient, entries are explicitly removed while there is at least
one reference left, possibly more. Explicitly check whether the entry
has been marked as dying to fix this.Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy
-
New connection tracking entries are inserted into the hash before they
are fully set up, namely the CONFIRMED bit is not set and the timer not
started yet. This can theoretically lead to a race with timer, which
would set the timeout value to a relative value, most likely already in
the past.Perform hash insertion as the final step to fix this.

Don't drop route if we're not caching
I recently got a report of an oops on a route lookup. Maxime was
testing what would happen if route caching was turned off (doing so by setting
making rt_caching always return 0), and found that it triggered an oops. I
looked at it and found that the problem stemmed from the fact that the route
lookup routines were returning success from their lookup paths (which is good),
but never set the **rp pointer to anything (which is bad). This happens because
in rt_intern_hash, if rt_caching returns false, we call rt_drop and return 0.
This almost emulates slient success. What we should be doing is assigning *rp =
rt and _not_ dropping the route. This way, during slow path lookups, when we
create a new route cache entry, we don't immediately discard it, rather we just
don't add it into the cache hash table, but we let this one lookup use it for
the purpose of this route request. Maxime has tested and reports it prevents
the oops. There is still a subsequent routing issue that I'm looking into
further, but I'm confident that, even if its related to this same path, this
patch makes sense to take.Signed-off-by: Neil Horman

This information allows userspace to implement a hybrid policy where
it can store the rfkill soft-blocked state in platform non-volatile
storage if available, and if not then file-based storage can be used.Some users prefer platform non-volatile storage because of the behaviour
when dual-booting multiple versions of Linux, or if the rfkill setting
is changed in the BIOS setting screens, or if the BIOS responds to
wireless-toggle hotkeys itself before the relevant platform driver has
been loaded.Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins

The setting of the "persistent" flag is also made more explicit using
a new rfkill_init_sw_state() function, instead of special-casing
rfkill_set_sw_state() when it is called before registration.Suspend is a bit of a corner case so we try to get away without adding
another hack to rfkill-input - it's going to be removed soon.
If the state does change over suspend, users will simply have to prod
rfkill-input twice in order to toggle the state.Userspace policy agents will be able to implement a more consistent user
experience. For example, they can avoid the above problem if they
toggle devices individually. Then there would be no "global state"
to get out of sync.Currently there are only two rfkill drivers with persistent soft-blocked
state. thinkpad-acpi already checks the software state on resume.

If we return after fiddling with the state, userspace will see the
wrong state and rfkill_set_sw_state() won't work until the next call to
rfkill_set_block(). At the moment rfkill_set_block() will always be
called from rfkill_resume(), but this will change in future.Also, presumably the point of this test is to avoid bothering devices
which may be suspended. If we don't want to call set_block(), we
probably don't want to call query() either :-).Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins

Currently, the sunrpc server is refusing to allow us to process new RPC
calls if the TCP send buffer is 2/3 full, even if we do actually have
enough free space to guarantee that we can send another request.

processing requests if we know that the socket buffer cannot possibly fit
another reply.It also fixes the tcp write_space() callback so that we only clear the

This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what
my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced
structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits:
1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer.
2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently
on netdevices (with exporting right functions).

My previous patch, which explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding
them to the list to flush them after the update is finished, isn't
strict enough. It treats exceptionally tnodes without parent, assuming
they are newly created, so "invisible" for the read side yet.But the top tnode doesn't have parent as well, so we have to exclude
all exceptions (at least until a better way is found). Additionally we
need to move rcu assignment of this node before flushing, so the
