linux-can-fixes-for-3.15-20140401
Marc Kleine-Budde says:
====================
this is a pull request of 16 patches for the 3.15 release cycle.Bjorn Van Tilt contributes a patch which fixes a memory leak in usb_8dev's
usb_8dev_start_xmit()s error path. A patch by Robert Schwebel fixes a typo in
the can documentation. The remaining patches all target the c_can driver. Two
of them are by me; they add a missing netif_napi_del() and return value
checking. Thomas Gleixner contributes 12 patches, which address several
shortcomings in the driver like hardware initialisation, concurrency, message
ordering and poor performance.

David Howells says:
====================
net-next: AF_RXRPC fixes and developmentHere are some AF_RXRPC fixes:
(1) Fix to remove incorrect checksum calculation made during recvmsg(). It's
unnecessary to try to do this there since we check the checksum before
reading the RxRPC header from the packet.(2) Fix to prevent the sending of an ABORT packet in response to another
ABORT packet and inducing a storm.(3) Fix UDP MTU calculation from parsing ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED packets where we
don't handle the ICMP packet not specifying an MTU size.And development patches:
(4) Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC parameters, specifically various delays
pertaining to ACK generation, the time before we resend a packet for
which we don't receive an ACK, the maximum time a call is permitted to
live and the amount of time transport, connection and dead call
information is cached.(5) Improve ACK packet production by adjusting the handling of ACK_REQUESTED
packets, ignoring the MORE_PACKETS flag, delaying the production of
otherwise immediate ACK_IDLE packets and delaying all ACK_IDLE production
(barring the call termination) to half a second.(6) Add more sysctl parameters to expose the Rx window size, the maximum
packet size that we're willing to receive and the number of jumbo rxrpc
packets we're willing to handle in a single UDP packet.(7) Request ACKs on alternate DATA packets so that the other side doesn't
wait till we fill up the Tx window.(8) Use a RCU hash table to look up the rxrpc_call for an incoming packet
rather than stepping through a hierarchy involving several spinlocks.

The original documentation was very unclear.
The code fix is presumably related to the formerly unclear
documentation: SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE has no effect on
__sock_recv_timestamp's behavior, so calling __sock_recv_ts_and_drops
from sock_recv_ts_and_drops if only SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is
set is pointless. This should have no user-observable effect.Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski

In commit e2d265d3b587 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets)
CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy
sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application.After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature
leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the
application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy
CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g.
make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?).This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with
real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code
together with the documentation describing the removed feature.Acked-by: Stephane Grosjean

Currently it's disabled because it's sometimes hard, in typical configs, to
make it work - because of the nature how the loadbalance modes work - as
it's hard to deliver valid arp replies to correct slaves by the switch.However we still can use arp_validation in loadbalance with several other
configs, per example with arp_validate == 2 for backup with one broadcast
domain, without the switch(es) doing any balancing - this way we'd be (a
bit more) sure that the slave is up.So, enable it to let users decide which one works/suits them best. Also
correct the mode limitation from BOND_OPT_ARP_VALIDATE.CC: Nikolay Aleksandrov

Removing the sysfs stubs for the Tx FIFOCFG and ATTRELI
(stashing) config registers, as these registers may only
be configured after a MAC reset, with the controller stopped
(i.e. during hw init, at probe() time). The current sysfs
stubs allow on-the-fly updates of these registers (the locking
measures are useless and only add unecessary code).Changing these registers is discouraged. Only the default values
will be used instead.Moreover, the stashing (ATTRELI) configuration options were
effectively disabled (didn't get to the hw anyway if changed)
because the stashing device_flags (HAS_BD_STASHING|HAS_BUF_STASHING)
were "accidentally" cleared during probe().Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil

Recently I added a new AF_PACKET fanout operation mode in commit
2d36097, but I forgot to document it. Add PACKET_FANOUT_QM as an available mode
in the af_packet documentation. Applies to net-next.Signed-off-by: Neil Horman

The current .init and .exit callbacks requires access to driver
private data structures. This is not a good seperation and abstraction.Instead, we add a new .setup callback for allocating private data, and
pass the returned pointer to the other callbacks.Signed-off-by: Chen-Yu Tsai

With the introduction of IPV6_FL_F_REFLECT, there is no guarantee of
flow label unicity. This patch introduces a new sysctl to protect the old
behaviour, enable by default.Changelog of V3:
* rename ip6_flowlabel_consistency to flowlabel_consistency
* use net_info_ratelimited()
* checkpatch cleanupsSigned-off-by: Florent Fourcot

====================
This pull request has a merge conflict between commits be7928d20bab
("net: xfrm: xfrm_policy: fix inline not at beginning of declaration") and
da7c224b1baa ("net: xfrm: xfrm_policy: silence compiler warning") from
the net-next tree and commit 2f3ea9a95c58 ("xfrm: checkpatch erros with
inline keyword position") from the ipsec-next tree.The version from net-next can be used, like it is done in linux-next.
1) Checkpatch cleanups, from Weilong Chen.
2) Fix lockdep complaints when pktgen is used with IPsec,
from Fan Du.3) Update pktgen to allow any combination of IPsec transport/tunnel mode
and AH/ESP/IPcomp type, from Fan Du.4) Make pktgen_dst_metrics static, Fengguang Wu.
5) Compile fix for pktgen when CONFIG_XFRM is not set,
from Fan Du.

This new ip_no_pmtu_disc mode only allowes fragmentation-needed errors
to be honored by protocols which do more stringent validation on the
ICMP's packet payload. This knob is useful for people who e.g. want to
run an unmodified DNS server in a namespace where they need to use pmtu
for TCP connections (as they are used for zone transfers or fallback
for requests) but don't want to use possibly spoofed UDP pmtu information.Currently the whitelisted protocols are TCP, SCTP and DCCP as they check
if the returned packet is in the window or if the association is valid.Cc: Eric Dumazet

While forwarding we should not use the protocol path mtu to calculate
the mtu for a forwarded packet but instead use the interface mtu.We mark forwarded skbs in ip_forward with IPSKB_FORWARDED, which was
introduced for multicast forwarding. But as it does not conflict with
our usage in unicast code path it is perfect for reuse.I moved the functions ip_sk_accept_pmtu, ip_sk_use_pmtu and ip_skb_dst_mtu
along with the new ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward to net/ip.h to fix circular
dependencies because of IPSKB_FORWARDED.Because someone might have written a software which does probe
destinations manually and expects the kernel to honour those path mtus
I introduced a new per-namespace "ip_forward_use_pmtu" knob so someone
can disable this new behaviour. We also still use mtus which are locked on a
route for forwarding.The reason for this change is, that path mtus information can be injected
into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification
of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv4 forwarding path to
wrongfully emit fragmentation needed notifications or start to fragment
packets along a path.Tunnel and ipsec output paths clear IPCB again, thus IPSKB_FORWARDED
won't be set and further fragmentation logic will use the path mtu to
determine the fragmentation size. They also recheck packet size with
help of path mtu discovery and report appropriate errors.Cc: Eric Dumazet
