Arnd Bergmann f6ca9f46f6 netfilter: ipvs: avoid unused variable warnings
The proc_create() and remove_proc_entry() functions do not reference
their arguments when CONFIG_PROC_FS is disabled, so we get a couple
of warnings about unused variables in IPVS:

ipvs/ip_vs_app.c:608:14: warning: unused variable 'net' [-Wunused-variable]
ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c:3950:14: warning: unused variable 'net' [-Wunused-variable]
ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c:3994:14: warning: unused variable 'net' [-Wunused-variable]

This removes the local variables and instead looks them up separately
for each use, which obviously avoids the warning.

In practice struct netns_ipvs is as meaningful as struct net and more

filter by ipvs instead.

Julian Anastasov e0b26cc997 ipvs: call rtnl_lock early
When the sync damon is started we need to hold rtnl
lock while calling ip_mc_join_group. Currently, we have
a wrong locking order because the correct one is
rtnl_lock->__ip_vs_mutex. It is implied from the usage
of __ip_vs_mutex in ip_vs_dst_event() which is called
under rtnl lock during NETDEV_* notifications.

Fix the problem by calling rtnl_lock early only for the
start_sync_thread call. As a bonus this fixes the usage
__dev_get_by_name which was not called under rtnl lock.

This patch actually extends and depends on commit 54ff9ef36b
("ipv4, ipv6: kill ip_mc_{join, leave}_group and
ipv6_sock_mc_{join, drop}").

Julian Anastasov 05f00505a8 ipvs: fix crash if scheduler is changed
I overlooked the svc->sched_data usage from schedulers
when the services were converted to RCU in 3.10. Now
the rare ipvsadm -E command can change the scheduler
but due to the reverse order of ip_vs_bind_scheduler
and ip_vs_unbind_scheduler we provide new sched_data
to the old scheduler resulting in a crash.

To fix it without changing the scheduler methods we
have to use synchronize_rcu() only for the editing case.
It means all svc->scheduler readers should expect a
NULL value. To avoid breakage for the service listing
and ipvsadm -R we can use the "none" name to indicate
that scheduler is not assigned, a state when we drop
new connections.

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner d752c36457 ipvs: allow rescheduling of new connections when port reuse is detected
Currently, when TCP/SCTP port reusing happens, IPVS will find the old
entry and use it for the new one, behaving like a forced persistence.
But if you consider a cluster with a heavy load of small connections,
such reuse will happen often and may lead to a not optimal load
balancing and might prevent a new node from getting a fair load.

This patch introduces a new sysctl, conn_reuse_mode, that allows
controlling how to proceed when port reuse is detected. The default
value will allow rescheduling of new connections only if the old entry
was in TIME_WAIT state for TCP or CLOSED for SCTP.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net

The following patchset contains updates for your net tree, they are:

1) Fix removal of destination in IPVS when the new mixed family support
   is used, from Alexey Andriyanov via Simon Horman.

2) Fix module refcount undeflow in nft_compat when reusing a match /
   target.

3) Fix iptables-restore when the recent match is used with a new hitcount
   that exceeds threshold, from Florian Westphal.

4) Fix stack corruption in xt_socket due to using stack storage to save
   the inner IPv6 header, from Eric Dumazet.

I'll follow up soon with another batch with more fixes that are still
cooking.

Julian Anastasov cd67cd5eb2 ipvs: use 64-bit rates in stats
IPVS stats are limited to 2^(32-10) conns/s and packets/s,
2^(32-5) bytes/s. It is time to use 64 bits:

* Change all conn/packet kernel counters to 64-bit and update
them in u64_stats_update_{begin,end} section

* In kernel use struct ip_vs_kstats instead of the user-space
struct ip_vs_stats_user and use new func ip_vs_export_stats_user
to export it to sockopt users to preserve compatibility with
32-bit values

* Rename cpu counters "ustats" to "cnt"

* To netlink users provide additionally 64-bit stats:
IPVS_SVC_ATTR_STATS64 and IPVS_DEST_ATTR_STATS64. Old stats
remain for old binaries.

* We can use ip_vs_copy_stats in ip_vs_stats_percpu_show

The current code prevents any operation with a mixed-family dest
unless IP_VS_CONN_F_TUNNEL flag is set. The problem is that it's impossible
for the client to follow this rule, because ip_vs_genl_parse_dest does
not even read the destination conn_flags when cmd = IPVS_CMD_DEL_DEST
(need_full_dest = 0).

Also, not every client can pass this flag when removing a dest. ipvsadm,
for example, does not support the "-i" command line option together with
the "-d" option.

This change disables any checks for mixed-family on IPVS_CMD_DEL_DEST command.

Johannes Berg 053c095a82 netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void
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.

Markus Elfring 982f405136 netfilter: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two function calls
The functions free_percpu() and module_put() test whether their argument
is NULL and then return immediately. Thus the test around the call is
not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
