Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Fix inaccuracies in network driver interface documentation, from Ben Hutchings. 2) Fix handling of negative offsets in BPF JITs, from Jan Seiffert. 3) Compile warning, locking, and refcounting fixes in netfilter's xt_CT, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 4) phonet sendmsg needs to validate user length just like any other datagram protocol, fix from Sasha Levin. 5) Ipv6 multicast code uses wrong loop index, from RongQing Li. 6) Link handling and firmware fixes in bnx2x driver from Yaniv Rosner and Yuval Mintz. 7) mlx4 erroneously allocates 4 pages at a time, regardless of page size, fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo. 8) SCTP socket option wasn't extended in a backwards compatible way, fix from Thomas Graf. 9) Add missing address change event emissions to bonding, from Shlomo Pongratz. 10) /proc/net/dev regressed because it uses a private offset to track where we are in the hash table, but this doesn't track the offset pullback that the seq_file code does resulting in some entries being missed in large dumps. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device. David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until it's downstream can't take data any more. 14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver changes, re-add. From Marc Kleine-Budde. 15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen. 16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (47 commits) net: fix a race in sock_queue_err_skb() netlink: fix races after skb queueing doc, net: Update ndo_start_xmit return type and values doc, net: Remove instruction to set net_device::trans_start doc, net: Update netdev operation names doc, net: Update documentation of synchronisation for TX multiqueue doc, net: Remove obsolete reference to dev->poll ethtool: Remove exception to the requirement of holding RTNL lock MAINTAINERS: update for Marvell Ethernet drivers bonding: properly unset current_arp_slave on slave link up phonet: Check input from user before allocating tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once ipv6: fix array index in ip6_mc_add_src() mlx4: allocate just enough pages instead of always 4 pages stmmac: re-add IFF_UNICAST_FLT for dwmac1000 bnx2x: Clear MDC/MDIO warning message bnx2x: Fix BCM57711+BCM84823 link issue bnx2x: Clear BCM84833 LED after fan failure bnx2x: Fix BCM84833 PHY FW version presentation bnx2x: Fix link issue for BCM8727 boards. ...

2012-04-05phonet: Check input from user before allocatingSasha Levin1-0/+3
A phonet packet is limited to USHRT_MAX bytes, this is never checked during tx which means that the user can specify any size he wishes, and the kernel will attempt to allocate that size. In the good case, it'll lead to the following warning, but it may also cause the kernel to kick in the OOM and kill a random task on the server.

2012-04-05tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() onceEric Dumazet2-4/+4
commit 2f533844242 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE. We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends stall. Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but with different semantic. For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage() Reported-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: H.K.

2012-04-05simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()Stephen Boyd7-24/+11
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: <smpl> @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; </smpl> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-04-04sctp: Allow struct sctp_event_subscribe to grow without breaking binariesThomas Graf1-2/+3
getsockopt(..., SCTP_EVENTS, ...) performs a length check and returns an error if the user provides less bytes than the size of struct sctp_event_subscribe. Struct sctp_event_subscribe needs to be extended by an u8 for every new event or notification type that is added. This obviously makes getsockopt fail for binaries that are compiled against an older versions of <net/sctp/user.h> which do not contain all event types. This patch changes getsockopt behaviour to no longer return an error if not enough bytes are being provided by the user. Instead, it returns as much of sctp_event_subscribe as fits into the provided buffer. This leads to the new behavior that users see what they have been aware of at compile time. The setsockopt(..., SCTP_EVENTS, ...) API is already behaving like this. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-04-03tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packetsEric Dumazet1-1/+1
vmsplice()/splice(pipe, socket) call do_tcp_sendpages() one page at a time, adding at most 4096 bytes to an skb. (assuming PAGE_SIZE=4096) The call to tcp_push() at the end of do_tcp_sendpages() forces an immediate xmit when pipe is not already filled, and tso_fragment() try to split these skb to MSS multiples. 4096 bytes are usually split in a skb with 2 MSS, and a remaining sub-mss skb (assuming MTU=1500) This makes slow start suboptimal because many small frames are sent to qdisc/driver layers instead of big ones (constrained by cwnd and packets in flight of course) In fact, applications using sendmsg() (adding an additional memory copy) instead of vmsplice()/splice()/sendfile() are a bit faster because of this anomaly, especially if serving small files in environments with large initial [c]wnd. Call tcp_push() only if MSG_MORE is not set in the flags parameter. This bit is automatically provided by splice() internals but for the last page, or on all pages if user specified SPLICE_F_MORE splice() flag. In some workloads, this can reduce number of sent logical packets by an order of magnitude, making zero-copy TCP actually faster than one-copy :) Reported-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: H.K.

2012-04-03net: fix /proc/net/dev regressionEric Dumazet2-46/+15
Commit f04565ddf52 (dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops) added a second regression, as some devices are missing from /proc/net/dev if many devices are defined. When seq_file buffer is filled, the last ->next/show() method is canceled (pos value is reverted to value prior ->next() call) Problem is after above commit, we dont restart the lookup at right position in ->start() method. Fix this by removing the internal 'pos' pointer added in commit, since we need to use the 'loff_t *pos' provided by seq_file layer. This also reverts commit 5cac98dd0 (net: Fix corruption in /proc/*/net/dev_mcast), since its not needed anymore.

2012-04-01ipv6: Fix RTM_GETROUTE's interpretation of RTA_IIF to be consistent with ipv4Shmulik Ladkani1-7/+27
In IPv4, if an RTA_IIF attribute is specified within an RTM_GETROUTE message, then a route is searched as if a packet was received on the specified 'iif' interface. However in IPv6, RTA_IIF is not interpreted in the same way: 'inet6_rtm_getroute()' always calls 'ip6_route_output()', regardless the RTA_IIF attribute. As a result, in IPv6 there's no way to use RTM_GETROUTE in order to look for a route as if a packet was received on a specific interface. Fix 'inet6_rtm_getroute()' so that RTA_IIF is interpreted as "lookup a route as if a packet was received on the specified interface", similar to IPv4's 'inet_rtm_getroute()' interpretation.

2012-04-01net/garp: avoid infinite loop if attribute already existsDavid Ward1-12/+10
An infinite loop occurred if garp_attr_create was called with the values of an existing attribute. This might happen if a previous leave request for the attribute has not yet been followed by a PDU transmission (or, if the application previously issued a join request for the attribute and is now issuing another one, without having issued a leave request). If garp_attr_create finds an existing attribute having the same values, return the address to it. Its state will then get updated (i.e., if it was in a leaving state, it will move into a non-leaving state and not get deleted during the next PDU transmission). To accomplish this fix, collapse garp_attr_insert into garp_attr_create (which is its only caller). Thanks to Jorge Boncompte [DTI2] <jorge@dti2.net> for contributing to this fix.

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields: Highlights: - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features, moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation. - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on ext2/3/4. - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility for further improvements. - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x. Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup. Thanks to everyone! There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).

I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

When using multicast over a local bridge feeding a number of LXC guests using veth, the LXC guests are unable to get a response from other guests when pinging 224.0.0.1. Multicast packets did not appear to be getting delivered to the network namespaces of the guest hosts, and further inspection showed that the incoming route was pointing to the loopback device of the host, not the guest. This lead to the wrong network namespace being picked up by sockets (like ICMP). Fix this by using the correct network namespace when creating the inbound route entry.

2012-03-23poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functionsHans Verkuil1-1/+1
In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

Pull NFS client updates for Linux 3.4 from Trond Myklebust: "New features include: - Add NFS client support for containers. This should enable most of the necessary functionality, including lockd support, and support for rpc.statd, NFSv4 idmapper and RPCSEC_GSS upcalls into the correct network namespace from which the mount system call was issued. - NFSv4 idmapper scalability improvements Base the idmapper cache on the keyring interface to allow concurrent access to idmapper entries. Start the process of migrating users from the single-threaded daemon-based approach to the multi-threaded request-key based approach. - NFSv4.1 implementation id. Allows the NFSv4.1 client and server to mutually identify each other for logging and debugging purposes. - Support the 'vers=4.1' mount option for mounting NFSv4.1 instead of having to use the more counterintuitive 'vers=4,minorversion=1'. - SUNRPC tracepoints. Start the process of adding tracepoints in order to improve debugging of the RPC layer. - pNFS object layout support for autologin. Important bugfixes include: - Fix a bug in rpc_wake_up/rpc_wake_up_status that caused them to fail to wake up all tasks when applied to priority waitqueues. - Ensure that we handle read delegations correctly, when we try to truncate a file. - A number of fixes for NFSv4 state manager loops (mostly to do with delegation recovery)." * tag 'nfs-for-3.4-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs: (224 commits) NFS: fix sb->s_id in nfs debug prints xprtrdma: Remove assumption that each segment is <= PAGE_SIZE xprtrdma: The transport should not bug-check when a dup reply is received pnfs-obj: autologin: Add support for protocol autologin NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic rename code NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic unlink code NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic read code NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic write code NFS: Fix more NFS debug related build warnings SUNRPC/LOCKD: Fix build warnings when CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is undefined nfs: non void functions must return a value SUNRPC: Kill compiler warning when RPC_DEBUG is unset SUNRPC/NFS: Add Kbuild dependencies for NFS_DEBUG/RPC_DEBUG NFS: Use cond_resched_lock() to reduce latencies in the commit scans NFSv4: It is not safe to dereference lsp->ls_state in release_lockowner NFS: ncommit count is being double decremented SUNRPC: We must not use list_for_each_entry_safe() in rpc_wake_up() Try using machine credentials for RENEW calls NFSv4.1: Fix a few issues in filelayout_commit_pagelist NFSv4.1: Clean ups and bugfixes for the pNFS read/writeback/commit code ...
