2014-07-24net: filter: rename 'struct sock_filter_int' into 'struct bpf_insn'Alexei Starovoitov1-25/+25
eBPF is used by socket filtering, seccomp and soon by tracing and exposed to userspace, therefore 'sock_filter_int' name is not accurate. Rename it to 'bpf_insn' Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains updates for your net-next tree, they are: 1) Use kvfree() helper function from x_tables, from Eric Dumazet. 2) Remove extra timer from the conntrack ecache extension, use a workqueue instead to redeliver lost events to userspace instead, from Florian Westphal. 3) Removal of the ulog targets for ebtables and iptables. The nflog infrastructure superseded this almost 9 years ago, time to get rid of this code. 4) Replace the list of loggers by an array now that we can only have two possible non-overlapping logger flavours, ie. kernel ring buffer and netlink logging. 5) Move Eric Dumazet's log buffer code to nf_log to reuse it from all of the supported per-family loggers. 6) Consolidate nf_log_packet() as an unified interface for packet logging. After this patch, if the struct nf_loginfo is available, it explicitly selects the logger that is used. 7) Move ip and ip6 logging code from xt_LOG to the corresponding per-family loggers. Thus, x_tables and nf_tables share the same code for packet logging. 8) Add generic ARP packet logger, which is used by nf_tables. The format aims to be consistent with the output of xt_LOG. 9) Add generic bridge packet logger. Again, this is used by nf_tables and it routes the packets to the real family loggers. As a result, we get consistent logging format for the bridge family. The ebt_log logging code has been intentionally left in place not to break backward compatibility since the logging output differs from xt_LOG. 10) Update nft_log to explicitly request the required family logger when needed. 11) Finish nft_log so it supports arp, ip, ip6, bridge and inet families. Allowing selection between netlink and kernel buffer ring logging. 12) Several fixes coming after the netfilter core logging changes spotted by robots. 13) Use IS_ENABLED() macros whenever possible in the netfilter tree, from Duan Jiong. 14) Removal of a couple of unnecessary branch before kfree, from Fabian Frederick. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-07-16udp: Use hash2 for long hash1 chains in __udp*_lib_mcast_deliver.David Held1-0/+14
Many multicast sources can have the same port which can result in a very large list when hashing by port only. Hash by address and port instead if this is the case. This makes multicast more similar to unicast. On a 24-core machine receiving from 500 multicast sockets on the same port, before this patch 80% of system CPU was used up by spin locking and only ~25% of packets were successfully delivered. With this patch, all packets are delivered and kernel overhead is ~8% system CPU on spinlocks.

2014-07-16net: sctp: implement rfc6458, 8.1.31. SCTP_DEFAULT_SNDINFO supportGeir Ola Vaagland1-0/+1
This patch implements section 8.1.31. of RFC6458, which adds support for setting/retrieving SCTP_DEFAULT_SNDINFO: Applications that wish to use the sendto() system call may wish to specify a default set of parameters that would normally be supplied through the inclusion of ancillary data. This socket option allows such an application to set the default sctp_sndinfo structure. The application that wishes to use this socket option simply passes the sctp_sndinfo structure (defined in Section 5.3.4) to this call. The input parameters accepted by this call include snd_sid, snd_flags, snd_ppid, and snd_context. The snd_flags parameter is composed of a bitwise OR of SCTP_UNORDERED, SCTP_EOF, and SCTP_SENDALL. The snd_assoc_id field specifies the association to which to apply the parameters. For a one-to-many style socket, any of the predefined constants are also allowed in this field. The field is ignored for one-to-one style sockets. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

2014-07-16locking/rwsem: Reduce the size of struct rw_semaphoreJason Low1-14/+11
Recent optimistic spinning additions to rwsem provide significant performance benefits on many workloads on large machines. The cost of it was increasing the size of the rwsem structure by up to 128 bits. However, now that the previous patches in this series bring the overhead of struct optimistic_spin_queue to 32 bits, this patch reorders some fields in struct rw_semaphore such that we can reduce the overhead of the rwsem structure by 64 bits (on 64 bit systems). The extra overhead required for rwsem optimistic spinning would now be up to 8 additional bytes instead of up to 16 bytes. Additionally, the size of rwsem would now be more in line with mutexes.

2014-07-16locking/rwsem: Rename 'activity' to 'count'Peter Zijlstra1-4/+4
There are two definitions of struct rw_semaphore, one in linux/rwsem.h and one in linux/rwsem-spinlock.h. For some reason they have different names for the initial field. This makes it impossible to use C99 named initialization for __RWSEM_INITIALIZER() -- or we have to duplicate that entire thing along with the structure definitions. The simpler patch is renaming the rwsem-spinlock variant to match the regular rwsem. This allows us to switch to C99 named initialization.

2014-07-16locking/spinlocks/mcs: Convert osq lock to atomic_t to reduce overheadJason Low3-6/+24
The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using pointers to these nodes. In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t. A similar concept is used with the qspinlock. By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

2014-07-16locking/spinlocks/mcs: Rename optimistic_spin_queue() to optimistic_spin_node()Jason Low2-4/+4
Currently, the per-cpu nodes structure for the cancellable MCS spinlock is named "optimistic_spin_queue". However, in a follow up patch in the series we will be introducing a new structure that serves as the new "handle" for the lock. It would make more sense if that structure is named "optimistic_spin_queue". Additionally, since the current use of the "optimistic_spin_queue" structure are "nodes", it might be better if we rename them to "node" anyway. This preparatory patch renames all current "optimistic_spin_queue" to "optimistic_spin_node".

2014-07-15net-timestamp: document deprecated syststampWillem de Bruijn1-2/+4
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HW. This feature is deprecated. It should not be implemented by new device drivers. Existing drivers do not implement it, either -- with one exception. Driver developers are encouraged to expose the NIC hw clock as a PTP HW clock source, instead, and synchronize system time to the HW source. The control flag cannot be removed due to being part of the ABI, nor can the structure scm_timestamping that is returned. Due to the one legacy driver, the internal datapath and structure are not removed. This patch only clearly marks the interface as deprecated. Device drivers should always return a syststamp value of zero.

2014-07-15net: add name_assign_type netdev attributeTom Gundersen2-0/+8
Based on a patch by David Herrmann. The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined: NET_NAME_ENUM: The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may be reused and unpredictable. NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a given device. Examples include statically created devices like the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE. NET_NAME_USER: The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup. NET_NAME_RENAMED: The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set, it cannot change again. NET_NAME_UNKNOWN: This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather -EINVAL is returned. The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name. If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such names NET_NAME_USER. If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled NET_NAME_RENAMED. In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE. We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not be exposed to userspace. The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM. Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit. v8: minor documentation fixes v9: move comment to the right commit Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Reviewed-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-07-11ipv6: addrconf: implement address generation modesJiri Pirko2-0/+7
This patch introduces a possibility for userspace to set various (so far two) modes of generating addresses. This is useful for example for NetworkManager because it can set the mode to NONE and take care of link local addresses itself. That allow it to have the interface up, monitoring carrier but still don't have any addresses on it. One more use-case by Dan Williams: <quote> WWAN devices often have their LL address provided by the firmware of the device, which sometimes refuses to respond to incorrect LL addresses when doing DHCPv6 or IPv6 ND. The kernel cannot generate the correct LL address for two reasons: 1) WWAN pseudo-ethernet interfaces often construct a fake MAC address, or read a meaningless MAC address from the firmware. Thus the EUI64 and the IPv6LL address the kernel assigns will be wrong. The real LL address is often retrieved from the firmware with AT or proprietary commands. 2) WWAN PPP interfaces receive their LL address from IPV6CP, not from kernel assignments. Only after IPV6CP has completed do we know the LL address of the PPP interface and its peer. But the kernel has already assigned an incorrect LL address to the interface. So being able to suppress the kernel LL address generation and assign the one retrieved from the firmware is less complicated and more robust. </quote> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S.
