Recent patch bonding: add netlink attributes to slave link dev (1d3ee88a) Introduced yet another device specific way to access slave information over rtnetlink. There is one already there for bridge. This patch introduces generic way to do this, for getting and setting info as well by extending link_ops. Later on, this new interface will be used for bridge ports as well.

Workqueue used in neighbour layer have no real dependency of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them. On a idle system, it is observed that an idle cpu wakes up many times just to service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one. This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions. This doesn't change existing behavior of code unless CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is enabled. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This change allows to consider an anycast address valid as source address when given via an IPV6_PKTINFO or IPV6_2292PKTINFO ancillary data item. So, when sending a datagram with ancillary data, the unicast and anycast addresses are handled in the same way. - Adds ipv6_chk_acast_addr_src() to check if an anycast address is link-local on given interface or is global. - Uses it in ip6_datagram_send_ctl().

A patch for fixing a race between queue selection and changing queues was introduced in commit 92bb73ea("tuntap: fix a possible race between queue selection and changing queues"). The fix was to prevent the driver from re-reading the tun->numqueues more than once within tun_select_queue() using ACCESS_ONCE(). We have been experiancing 'Divide-by-zero' errors in tun_net_xmit() since we moved from 3.6 to 3.10, and believe that they come from a simular source where the value of tun->numqueues changes to zero between the first and a subsequent read of tun->numqueues. The fix is a simular use of ACCESS_ONCE(), as well as a multiply instead of a divide in the if statement.

br_handle_vlan() pushes HW accelerated vlan tag into skbuff when outgoing port is the bridge device. This is unnecessary because __netif_receive_skb_core() can handle skbs with HW accelerated vlan tag. In current implementation, __netif_receive_skb_core() needs to extract the vlan tag embedded in skb data. This could cause low network performance especially when receiving frames at a high frame rate on the bridge device.

In bbf852b9 I introduced the tmlist, which allows to delete multiple entries from the cache that match a specified destination if no source-IP is specified. However, as the cache is an RCU-list, we should not create this tmlist, as it will change the tcpm_next pointer of the element that will be deleted and so a thread iterating over the cache's entries while holding the RCU-lock might get "redirected" to this tmlist. This patch fixes this, by reverting back to the old behavior prior to bbf852b9, which means that we simply change the tcpm_next pointer of the previous element (pp) to jump over the one we are deleting. The difference is that we call kfree_rcu() directly on the cache entry, which allows us to delete multiple entries from the list. Fixes: bbf852b9 (tcp: metrics: Delete all entries matching a certain destination) Signed-off-by: Christoph Paasch <christoph.paasch@uclouvain.be> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Ding Tianhong says: ==================== bonding: fix primary problem for bonding If the slave's name changed, and the bond params primary is exist, the bond should deal with the situation in two ways: 1) If the slave was the primary slave yet, clean the primary slave and reselect active slave. 2) If the slave's new name is as same as bond primary, set the slave as primary slave and reselect active slave. If the new primary is not matching any slave in the bond, the bond should record it to params, clean the primary slave and select a new active slave. Update bonding.txt for primary description. v2.1->v1: Because there are too many indentions and useless verification, so rewrite the logic for updating the primary slave. Modify some comments for to clean the typos. v3->v2.1: Veaceslav disagree the first patch and modify the logic for it (bonding: update the primary slave when changing slave's name) and resend it himself (bonding: handle slave's name change with primary_slave logic), so remove the first patch and send the last two patches. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

As per suggestion from Eric W. Biederman, vxlan should be using {un,}register_pernet_subsys() instead of {un,}register_pernet_device() to ensure the vxlan_net structure is initialized before and cleaned up after all network devices in a given network namespace i.e. when dealing with network notifiers. This is similarly handeled already in commit 91e2ff35 ("net: Teach vlans to cleanup as a pernet subsystem") and, thus, improves upon fd27e0d4 ("net: vxlan: do not use vxlan_net before checking event type"). Just as in 91e2ff35, we do not need to explicitly handle deletion of vxlan devices as network namespace exit calls dellink on all remaining virtual devices, and rtnl_link_unregister() calls dellink on all outstanding devices in that network namespace, so we can entirely drop the pernet exit operation as well. Moreover, on vxlan module exit, rcu_barrier() is called by netns since commit 3a765eda ("netns: Add an explicit rcu_barrier to unregister_pernet_{device|subsys}"), so this may be omitted. Tested with various scenarios and works well on my side. Suggested-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.

This patch adds a queue mapping mode to the fanout operation of af_packet sockets. This allows user space af_packet users to better filter on flows ingressing and egressing via a specific hardware queue, and avoids the potential packet reordering that can occur when FANOUT_CPU is being used and irq affinity varies. Tested successfully by myself. applies to net-next Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> CC: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== bonding: introduce new option API This patchset's goal is to introduce a new option API which should be used to properly describe the bonding options with their mode dependcies and requirements. With this patchset applied we get centralized option manipulation, automatic RTNL acquire per option setting, automatic option range checking, mode dependcy checking and other various flags which are described in detail in patch 01's commit message and comments. Also the parameter passing is changed to use a specialized structure which is initialized to a value depending on the needs. The main exported functions are: __bond_opt_set() - set an option (RTNL should be acquired prior) bond_opt_init(val|str) - init a bond_opt_value struct for value or string parameter passing bond_opt_tryset_rtnl() - function which tries to acquire rtnl, mainly used for sysfs bond_opt_parse - used to parse or check for valid values bond_opt_get - retrieve a pointer to bond_option struct for some option bond_opt_get_val - retrieve a pointer to a bond_opt_value struct for some value The same functions are used to set an option via sysfs and netlink, just the parameter that's passed is usually initialized in a different way. The converted options have multiple style fixes, there're some longer lines but they looked either ugly or were strings/pr_warnings, if you think some line would be better broken just let me know :-) there're also a few sscanf false-positive warnings. I decided to keep the "unsuppmodes" way of mode dep checking since it's straight forward, if we make a more general way for checking dependencies it'll be easy to change it. Future plans for this work include: - Automatic sysfs generation from the bond_opts[]. - Use of the API in bond_check_params() and thus cleaning it up (this has actually started, I'll take care of the rest in a separate patch) - Clean up all option-unrelated files of option definitions and functions I've tried to leave as much documentation as possible, if there's anything unclear please let me know. One more thing, I haven't moved all option-related functions from bonding.h to the new bond_options.h, this will be done in a separate patch, it's in my todo list. This patchset has been tested by setting each converted option via sysfs and netlink to a couple of wrong values, a couple of correct values and some random values, also for the opts that have flags they have been tested as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds the necessary changes so arp_ip_target would use the new bonding option API.
