Florian Westphal 10662aa308 netfilter: xt_NFQUEUE: queue balancing support
Adds support for specifying a range of queues instead of a single queue
id. Flows will be distributed across the given range.

This is useful for multicore systems: Instead of having a single
application read packets from a queue, start multiple
instances on queues x, x+1, .. x+n. Each instance can process
flows independently.

Packets for the same connection are put into the same queue.

Pablo Neira Ayuso e34d5c1a4f netfilter: conntrack: replace notify chain by function pointer
This patch removes the notify chain infrastructure and replace it
by a simple function pointer. This issue has been mentioned in the
mailing list several times: the use of the notify chain adds
too much overhead for something that is only used by ctnetlink.

This patch also changes nfnetlink_send(). It seems that gfp_any()
returns GFP_KERNEL for user-context request, like those via
ctnetlink, inside the RCU read-side section which is not valid.
Using GFP_KERNEL is also evil since netlink may schedule(),
this leads to "scheduling while atomic" bug reports.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 17e6e4eac0 netfilter: conntrack: simplify event caching system
This patch simplifies the conntrack event caching system by removing
several events:

 * IPCT_[*]_VOLATILE, IPCT_HELPINFO and IPCT_NATINFO has been deleted
   since the have no clients.
 * IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING which is a leftover of the 32-bits counter
   days.
 * IPCT_REFRESH which is not of any use since we always include the
   timeout in the messages.

After this patch, the existing events are:

 * IPCT_NEW, IPCT_RELATED and IPCT_DESTROY, that are used to identify
 addition and deletion of entries.
 * IPCT_STATUS, that notes that the status bits have changes,
 eg. IPS_SEEN_REPLY and IPS_ASSURED.
 * IPCT_PROTOINFO, that reports that internal protocol information has
 changed, eg. the TCP, DCCP and SCTP protocol state.
 * IPCT_HELPER, that a helper has been assigned or unassigned to this
 entry.
 * IPCT_MARK and IPCT_SECMARK, that reports that the mark has changed, this
 covers the case when a mark is set to zero.
 * IPCT_NATSEQADJ, to report that there's updates in the NAT sequence
 adjustment.

This patch cleans up the message handling path in two aspects:

 * it uses NLMSG_LENGTH() instead of NLMSG_SPACE() like rtnetlink
does in this case to check if there is enough room for the
Netlink/nfnetlink headers. No need to check for the padding room.

 * it removes a redundant header size checking that has been

Jozsef Kadlecsik 874ab9233e netfilter: nf_ct_tcp: TCP simultaneous open support
The patch below adds supporting TCP simultaneous open to conntrack. The
unused LISTEN state is replaced by a new state (SYN_SENT2) denoting the
second SYN sent from the reply direction in the new case. The state table
is updated and the function tcp_in_window is modified to handle
simultaneous open.

The functionality can fairly easily be tested by socat. A sample tcpdump
recording

and the corresponding netlink events:

The RST packet was dropped in the raw table, thus it did not reach
conntrack.  nfnetlink_conntrack is unpatched so it shows the new SYN_SENT2
state as the old unused LISTEN.

With TCP simultaneous open support we satisfy REQ-2 in RFC 5382  ;-) .

Additional minor correction in this patch is that in order to catch
uninitialized reply directions, "td_maxwin == 0" is used instead of
"td_end == 0" because the former can't be true except in uninitialized
state while td_end may accidentally be equal to zero in the mid of a
connection.

Herbert Xu 78d3fd0b7d gro: Only use skb_gro_header for completely non-linear packets
Currently skb_gro_header is used for packets which put the hardware
header in skb->data with the rest in frags.  Since the drivers that
need this optimisation all provide completely non-linear packets,
we can gain extra optimisations by only performing the frag0
optimisation for completely non-linear packets.

In particular, we can simply test frag0 (instead of skb_headlen)
to see whether the optimisation is in force.

Neil Horman 4ea7e38696 dropmon: add ability to detect when hardware dropsrxpackets
Patch to add the ability to detect drops in hardware interfaces via dropwatch.
Adds a tracepoint to net_rx_action to signal everytime a napi instance is
polled.  The dropmon code then periodically checks to see if the rx_frames
counter has changed, and if so, adds a drop notification to the netlink
protocol, using the reserved all-0's vector to indicate the drop location was in
hardware, rather than somewhere in the code.
