on top of it like:

We will get a refcount leak:

The problem is when rtnl_configure_link() fails in rtnl_newlink(),
we simply call unregister_device(), but for stacked device like vlan,
we almost do nothing when we unregister the upper device, more work
is done when we unregister the lower device, so call its ->dellink().

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Receive Flow Steering is a nice solution but suffers from
hash collisions when a mix of connected and unconnected traffic
is received on the host, when flow hash table is populated.
Also, clearing flow in inet_release() makes RFS not very good
for short lived flows, as many packets can follow close().
(FIN , ACK packets, ...)
This patch extends the information stored into global hash table
to not only include cpu number, but upper part of the hash value.
I use a 32bit value, and dynamically split it in two parts.
For host with less than 64 possible cpus, this gives 6 bits for the
cpu number, and 26 (32-6) bits for the upper part of the hash.
Since hash bucket selection use low order bits of the hash, we have
a full hash match, if /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries is big
enough.
If the hash found in flow table does not match, we fallback to RPS (if
it is enabled for the rxqueue).
This means that a packet for an non connected flow can avoid the
IPI through a unrelated/victim CPU.
This also means we no longer have to clear the table at socket
close time, and this helps short lived flows performance.

A typical qdisc setup is the following :
bond0 : bonding device, using HTB hierarchy
eth1/eth2 : slaves, multiqueue NIC, using MQ + FQ qdisc
XPS allows to spread packets on specific tx queues, based on the cpu
doing the send.
Problem is that dequeues from bond0 qdisc can happen on random cpus,
due to the fact that qdisc_run() can dequeue a batch of packets.
CPUA -> queue packet P1 on bond0 qdisc, P1->ooo_okay=1
CPUA -> queue packet P2 on bond0 qdisc, P2->ooo_okay=0
CPUB -> dequeue packet P1 from bond0
enqueue packet on eth1/eth2
CPUC -> dequeue packet P2 from bond0
enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 using sk cache (ooo_okay is 0)
get_xps_queue() then might select wrong queue for P1, since current cpu
might be different than CPUA.
P2 might be sent on the old queue (stored in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping),
if CPUC runs a bit faster (or CPUB spins a bit on qdisc lock)
Effect of this bug is TCP reorders, and more generally not optimal
TX queue placement. (A victim bulk flow can be migrated to the wrong TX
queue for a while)
To fix this, we have to record sender cpu number the first time
dev_queue_xmit() is called for one tx skb.
We can union napi_id (used on receive path) and sender_cpu,
granted we clear sender_cpu in skb_scrub_packet() (credit to Willem for
this union idea)

Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This
mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload
options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set.
Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This
only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW.
The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack.
It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the
sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier.
No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge
gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow
administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible
breakage of legacy applications.

When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is used, the netdevice should be built in this link netns
and moved at the end to another netns (pointed by the socket netns or
IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD]).
Existing user of the newlink handler will use the netns argument (src_net) to
find a link netdevice or to check some other information into the link netns.
For example, to find a netdevice, two information are required: an ifindex
(usually from IFLA_LINK) and a netns (this link netns).
Note: when using IFLA_LINK_NETNSID and IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD], a user may create a

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.
This makes the very common pattern of
if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
return nlmsg_end(...);
and the caller is expected to deal with it.
This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write
if (my_function(...))
/* error condition */
and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.
Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did
- return nlmsg_end(...);
+ nlmsg_end(...);
+ return 0;
I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.
One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

problems with bridge getlink/setlink notifications today:
- bridge setlink generates two notifications to userspace
- one from the bridge driver
- one from rtnetlink.c (rtnl_bridge_notify)
- dellink generates one notification from rtnetlink.c. Which
means bridge setlink and dellink notifications are not
consistent
- Looking at the code it appears,
If both BRIDGE_FLAGS_MASTER and BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF were set,
the size calculation in rtnl_bridge_notify can be wrong.
Example: if you set both BRIDGE_FLAGS_MASTER and BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF
in a setlink request to rocker dev, rtnl_bridge_notify will
allocate skb for one set of bridge attributes, but,
both the bridge driver and rocker dev will try to add
attributes resulting in twice the number of attributes
being added to the skb. (rocker dev calls ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink)
There are multiple options:
1) Generate one notification including all attributes from master and self:
But, I don't think it will work, because both master and self may use
the same attributes/policy. Cannot pack the same set of attributes in a
single notification from both master and slave (duplicate attributes).
2) Generate one notification from master and the other notification from
self (This seems to be ideal):
For master: the master driver will send notification (bridge in this
example)
For self: the self driver will send notification (rocker in the above
example. It can use helpers from rtnetlink.c to do so. Like the
ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink api).
This patch implements 2) (leaving the 'rtnl_bridge_notify' around to be used
with 'self').
v1->v2 :
- rtnl_bridge_notify is now called only for self,
so, remove 'BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF' check and cleanup a few things
- rtnl_bridge_dellink used to always send a RTM_NEWLINK msg
earlier. So, I have changed the notification from br_dellink to
go as RTM_NEWLINK

softnet_data.input_pkt_queue is protected by a spinlock that
we must hold when transferring packets from victim queue to an active
one. This is because other cpus could still be trying to enqueue packets
into victim queue.
A second problem is that when we transfert the NAPI poll_list from
victim to current cpu, we absolutely need to special case the percpu
backlog, because we do not want to add complex locking to protect
process_queue : Only owner cpu is allowed to manipulate it, unless cpu
is offline.
Based on initial patch from Prasad Sodagudi & Subash Abhinov
Kasiviswanathan.
This version is better because we do not slow down packet processing,
only make migration safer.

Conflicts:
drivers/net/xen-netfront.c
Minor overlapping changes in xen-netfront.c, mostly to do
with some buffer management changes alongside the split
of stats into TX and RX.

When setting base_reachable_time or base_reachable_time_ms on a
specific interface through sysctl or netlink, the reachable_time
value is not updated.
This means that neighbour entries will continue to be updated using the
old value until it is recomputed in neigh_period_work (which
recomputes the value every 300*HZ).
On systems with HZ equal to 1000 for instance, it means 5mins before
the change is effective.
This patch changes this behavior by recomputing reachable_time after
each set on base_reachable_time or base_reachable_time_ms.
The new value will become effective the next time the neighbour's timer
is triggered.
Changes are made in two places: the netlink code for set and the sysctl
handling code. For sysctl, I use a proc_handler. The ipv6 network
code does provide its own handler but it already refreshes
reachable_time correctly so it's not an issue.
Any other user of neighbour which provide its own handlers must
refresh reachable_time.

netif_alloc_rx_queues() uses kcalloc() to allocate memory
for "struct netdev_queue *_rx" array.
If we are doing large rx queue allocation kcalloc() might
fail, so this patch does a fallback to vzalloc().
Similar implementation is done for tx queue allocation in
netif_alloc_netdev_queues().
We avoid failure of high order memory allocation
with the help of vzalloc(), this allows us to do large
rx and tx queue allocation which in turn helps us to
increase the number of queues in tun.
As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path,
__GFP_REPEAT flag is used with kzalloc() to do this fallback
only when really needed.

This patch extends the ethtool plugin module eeprom API to support cards
whose phy support is delegated to a separate driver.
The handlers for ETHTOOL_GMODULEINFO and ETHTOOL_GMODULEEEPROM call the
module_info and module_eeprom functions if the phy driver provides them;
otherwise the handlers call the equivalent ethtool_ops functions provided
by network drivers with built-in phy support.
