Jesper Dangaard Brouer 8a8e3d84b1 net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling
commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
broke the "linklayer atm" handling.

 tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm

The linklayer setting is implemented by modifying the rate table
which is send to the kernel.  No direct parameter were
transferred to the kernel indicating the linklayer setting.

The commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
removed the use of the rate table system.

To keep compatible with older iproute2 utils, this patch detects
the linklayer by parsing the rate table.  It also supports future
versions of iproute2 to send this linklayer parameter to the
kernel directly. This is done by using the __reserved field in
struct tc_ratespec, to convey the choosen linklayer option, but
only using the lower 4 bits of this field.

Linklayer detection is limited to speeds below 100Mbit/s, because
at high rates the rtab is gets too inaccurate, so bad that
several fields contain the same values, this resembling the ATM
detect.  Fields even start to contain "0" time to send, e.g. at
1000Mbit/s sending a 96 bytes packet cost "0", thus the rtab have
been more broken than we first realized.

Pravin B Shelar 4221f40513 ip_tunnel: Do not use inner ip-header-id for tunnel ip-header-id.
Using inner-id for tunnel id is not safe in some rare cases.
E.g. packets coming from multiple sources entering same tunnel
can have same id. Therefore on tunnel packet receive we
could have packets from two different stream but with same
source and dst IP with same ip-id which could confuse ip packet
reassembly.

Following patch reverts optimization from commit
490ab08127 (IP_GRE: Fix IP-Identification.)

Eliezer Tamir 288a937637 net: rename busy poll MIB counter
Rename mib counter from "low latency" to "busy poll"

v1 also moved the counter to the ip MIB (suggested by Shawn Bohrer)
Eric Dumazet suggested that the current location is better.

So v2 just renames the counter to fit the new naming convention.

Eliezer Tamir bf37d2b3fd busy_poll: cleanup do-nothing placeholders
When renaming ll_poll to busy poll, I introduced a typo
in the name of the do-nothing placeholder for sk_busy_loop
and called it sk_busy_poll.
This broke compile when busy poll was not configured.
Cong Wang submitted a patch to fixed that.
This patch removes the now redundant, misspelled placeholder.

Michal Kubeček 2ac3ac8f86 ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contention
On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst
entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of
entries reaches gc_thresh.

This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow
only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc()
doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc()
returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time
so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in
ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for
the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after
another which blocks them for quite long.

Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter
to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between
spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with
force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

Linus Torvalds 19d2f8e0fb Second round of 9p patches for the 3.11 merge window.
Several of these patches were rebased in order to correct style issues.
 Only stylistic changes were made versus the patches which were in linux-next
 for two weeks.  The rebases have been in linux-next for 3 days and have
 passed my regressions.
 
 The bulk of these are RDMA fixes and improvements.  There's also some
 additions on the extended attributes front to support some additional
 namespaces and a new option for TCP to force allocation of mount requests
 from a priviledged port.

RDMA needs to post a buffer for each incoming reply.
Hence it needs to keep count of these and needs to be
aware of whether a flushed request has received a reply
or not.

This patch adds the cancelled() callback to the transport modules.
It is called when RFLUSH has been received and that the corresponding
request will never receive a reply.

in __alloc_skb() : skb->truesize = SKB_TRUESIZE(size);

While above commit fixed the sender issue, the receiver is still
dropping the second packet (on loopback device), because the receiver
socket can not really hold two skbs :
First packet truesize already is above sk_rcvbuf, so even TCP coalescing
cannot help.

On a typical 64bit build, each tcp skb truesize is 2304, instead of 2272

and directly calls udp_push_ending_frames from udp_v6_push_pending_frames
if that is the case.

This bug was found by Dave Jones with trinity.

(Also move the initialization of fl6 below the AF_INET check, even if
not strictly necessary.)

Daniel Borkmann bb33381d0c net: sctp: rework debugging framework to use pr_debug and friends
We should get rid of all own SCTP debug printk macros and use the ones
that the kernel offers anyway instead. This makes the code more readable
and conform to the kernel code, and offers all the features of dynamic
debbuging that pr_debug() et al has, such as only turning on/off portions
of debug messages at runtime through debugfs. The runtime cost of having
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled, but none of the debug statements printing,
is negligible [1]. If kernel debugging is completly turned off, then these
statements will also compile into "empty" functions.

While we're at it, we also need to change the Kconfig option as it /now/
only refers to the ifdef'ed code portions in outqueue.c that enable further
debugging/tracing of SCTP transaction fields. Also, since SCTP_ASSERT code
was enabled with this Kconfig option and has now been removed, we
transform those code parts into WARNs resp. where appropriate BUG_ONs so
that those bugs can be more easily detected as probably not many people
have SCTP debugging permanently turned on.

To turn on all SCTP debugging, the following steps are needed:

 # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
 # echo -n 'module sctp +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

This can be done more fine-grained on a per file, per line basis and others
as described in [2].

John W. Linville says:

====================
Yet one more pull request for wireless updates intended for 3.11...

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"Here we have a few memory leak fixes related to BSS struct handling
mostly from Ben, including a fix for a more theoretical problem
(associating while a BSS struct times out) from myself, a compilation
warning fix from Arend, mesh fixes from Thomas, tracking the beacon
bitrate (Alex), a bandwidth change event fix (Ilan) and some initial
work for 5/10 MHz channels from Simon."

Regarding the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:

"Emmanuel removed some unneeded/unsupported module parameters and adds a
Bluetooth 1x1 lookup-table for some upcoming products. From Alex I have
an older patch to add low-power receive support, this depended on a
mac80211 commit that only just came in with the merge from wireless-next
I did. Ilan made beacon timings better, and Eytan added some debug
statements for thermal throttling. I have a few cleanups, a fix for a
long-standing but rare warning, and, arguably the most important patch
here, the firmware API version bump for the 7260/3160 devices."

Also included is a Bluetooth pull -- Gustavo says:

"Here goes a set of patches to 3.11. The biggest work here is from Andre Guedes
on the move of the Discovery to use the new request framework. Other than that
Johan provided a bunch of fixes to the L2CAP code. The rest are just small
fixes and clean ups."

On top of all that, there are a variety of updates and fixes to
brcmfmac, rt2x00, wil6210, ath9k, ath10k, and a few others here and
there.  This also includes a pull of the wireless tree, in order to
prevent some merge conflicts.

Timo Teräs 2ffae99d1f ipv4: use next hop exceptions also for input routes
Commit d2d68ba9 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops)
assmued that "locally destined, and routed packets, never trigger
PMTU events or redirects that will be processed by us".

However, it seems that tunnel devices do trigger PMTU events in certain
cases. At least ip_gre, ip6_gre, sit, and ipip do use the inner flow's
skb_dst(skb)->ops->update_pmtu to propage mtu information from the
outer flows. These can cause the inner flow mtu to be decreased. If
next hop exceptions are not consulted for pmtu, IP fragmentation will
not be done properly for these routes.

It also seems that we really need to have the PMTU information always
for netfilter TCPMSS clamp-to-pmtu feature to work properly.

So for the time being, cache separate copies of input routes for
each next hop exception.

Hannes Frederic Sowa 1ec047eb47 ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for dad-completed ipv6 addresses
To reduce the number of unnecessary router solicitations, MLDv2 and IGMPv3
messages we need to track the number of valid (as in non-optimistic,

patch implements a valid_ll_addr_cnt in struct inet6_dev.

We now only emit router solicitations if the first link-local address
finishes duplicate address detection.

The changes for MLDv2 and IGMPv3 are in a follow-up patch.

Convert the SCTP state table, so that it is more readable.
Change the states to be according to the diagram in RFC 2960
and add more states suitable for middle box. Still, such
change in states adds incompatibility if systems in sync
setup include this change and others do not include it.

With this change we also have proper transitions in INPUT-ONLY
mode (DR/TUN) where we see packets only from client. Now
we should not switch to 10-second CLOSED state at a time
when we should stay in ESTABLISHED state.

The short names for states are because we have 16-char space
in ipvsadm and 11-char limit for the connection list format.
It is a sequence of the TCP implementation where the longest
state name is ESTABLISHED.

Add a new poll flag POLL_LL. When this flag is set, sock_poll will call

to indicate to select/poll when a socket that can busy poll is found.

When poll/select have nothing to report, call the low-level
sock_poll again until we are out of time or we find something.

Once the system call finds something, it stops setting POLL_LL, so it can

Currently, SCTP code defines its own timeval functions (since timeval
is rarely used inside the kernel by others), namely tv_lt() and
TIMEVAL_ADD() macros, that operate on SCTP cookie expiration.

We might as well remove all those, and operate directly on ktime
structures for a couple of reasons: ktime is available on all archs;
complexity of ktime calculations depending on the arch is less than
(reduces to a simple arithmetic operations on archs with
BITS_PER_LONG == 64 or CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR) or equal to timeval
functions (other archs); code becomes more readable; macros can be
thrown out.

Hannes Frederic Sowa b7b1bfce0b ipv6: split duplicate address detection and router solicitation timer
This patch splits the timers for duplicate address detection and router
solicitations apart. The router solicitations timer goes into inet6_dev
and the dad timer stays in inet6_ifaddr.

The reason behind this patch is to reduce the number of unneeded router
solicitations send out by the host if additional link-local addresses
are created. Currently we send out RS for every link-local address on
an interface.

If the RS timer fires we pick a source address with ipv6_get_lladdr. This
change could hurt people adding additional link-local addresses and
specifying these addresses in the radvd clients section because we
no longer guarantee that we use every ll address as source address in
router solicitations.

struct tcp_fastopen_context has a field named tfm, which is a pointer

tcp_fastopen_ctx is the pointer fetched by rcu_dereference(), but once

rcu_dereference() to access tfm.

This fixes a lot of sparse errors like the following :

John W. Linville says:

====================
I would guess that this is the last big wireless pull request before
the 3.11 merge window...

Regarding the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"I have a number of mesh fixes and improvements from Colleen, Jacob,
Ashok and Thomas, powersave fixes in mac80211 from Alex, improved
management-TX from Antonio, and a few various things, including locking
fixes, from others and myself. Overall though, nothing really stands
out."

As for the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:

"Emmanuel contributed two AP mode fixes, removed an unused field, fixed a
comment and added a warning for something that shouldn't happen in
practice, and I removed the declaration of a function that doesn't even
exist and cleaned up a small include."

"This time I have a number of cleanups, a small fix from Emmanuel and two
performance improvements that combined reduce our driver's CPU
utilisation as much as 75% in high TX-throughput scenarios."

"These two patches fix two issues with using rfkill randomly during
traffic, which would then cause our driver to stop working and not be
able to recover at all."

Regarding the ath6kl bits, Kalle says:

"Here are few simple patches for ath6kl. We have a suspend crash fix for
USB from Shafi, use of mac_pton(), a compiler warning fix and a fix for
module initialisation error path."

Kalle also sends the biggest single item of note, the new ath10k
driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac CQA98xx devices.

Included is an NFC pull, of which Samuel says:

"These are the pending NFC patches for the 3.11 merge window.

It contains the pending fixes that were on nfc-fixes (nfc-fixes-3.10-2),
along with a few more for the pn544 and pn533 drivers, the LLCP
disconnection path and an LLCP memory leak.

Highlights for this one are:

- An initial secure element API. NFC chipsets can carry an embedded
  secure element or get access to the SIM one. In both cases they
  control the secure elements and this API provides a way to discover,
  enable and disable the available SEs. It also exports that to
  userspace in order for SE focused middleware to actually do something
  with them (e.g. payments).

- NCI over SPI support. SPI is the most complex NCI specified transport
  layer and we now have support for it in the kernel. The next step will
  be to implement drivers for NCI chipsets using this transport like
  e.g. bcm2079x.

- NFC p2p hardware simulation driver. We now have an nfcsim driver that
  is mostly a loopback device between 2 NFC interfaces. It also
  implements the rest of the NFC core API like polling and target
  detection. This driver, with neard running on top of it, allows us to
  completely test the LLCP, SNEP and Handover implementation without
  physical hardware.

- A Firmware update netlink API. Most (All ?) HCI chipsets have a
  special firmware update mode where applications can push a new
  firmware that will be flashed. We now have a netlink API for providing
  that mode to e.g. nfctool."

On top of all that, there are a variety of updates to brcmfmac,
iwlegacy, rtlwifi, wil6210, and the TI wl12xx drivers.  As usual,
the bcma and ssb busses get a little love as well, as do a handful
of others here and there.
