The zatm_t_hist structure is not used anywhere in the kernel, but is exported to user space. As we are trying to eliminate uses of time_t in the kernel for y2038 compatibility, the current definition triggers checking tools because it contains 'struct timeval'. As pointed out by Chas Williams, the only user of this structure was the ZATM_GETHIST ioctl command that has been removed a long time ago, and we can remove the structure as well without breaking any user space.

The mac80211 code uses ktime_get_ts to measure the connected time. As this uses monotonic time, it is y2038 safe on 32-bit systems, but we still want to deprecate the use of 'timespec' because most other users are broken. This changes the code to use ktime_get_seconds() instead, which avoids the timespec structure and is slightly more efficient.

mwifiex_get_random_ba_threshold() uses a complex homegrown implementation to generate a pseudo-random number from the current time as returned from do_gettimeofday(). This currently requires two 32-bit divisions plus a couple of other computations that are eventually discarded as only eight bits of the microsecond portion are used at all. We could replace this with a call to get_random_bytes(), but that might drain the entropy pool too fast if this is called for each packet. Instead, this patch converts it to use ktime_get_ns(), which is a bit faster than do_gettimeofday(), and then uses a similar algorithm as before, but in a way that takes both the nanosecond and second portion into account for slightly-more-but-still-not-very-random pseudorandom number.

The mwifiex_11n_aggregate_pkt() function creates a ktime_t from a timeval returned by do_gettimeofday, which is slow and causes an overflow in 2038 on 32-bit architectures. This solves both problems by using the appropriate ktime_get_real() function.

We want to deprecate the use of 'struct timespec' on 32-bit architectures, as it is will overflow in 2038. The igb driver uses it to read the current time, and can simply be changed to use ktime_get_real_ts64() instead. Because of hardware limitations, there is still an overflow in year 2106, which we cannot really avoid, but this documents the overflow.

The fec_ptp_enable_pps uses an open-coded implementation of ns_to_timespec, which will be removed eventually as it is not y2038-safe on 32-bit architectures. Two more instances of the same code in this file were already converted to use the safe ns_to_timespec64 in commit 6630514f ("ptp: fec: use helpers for converting ns to timespec"), this changes the last one as well. The seconds portion here is actually unused and we could just remove the timespec variable, but using ns_to_timespec64 can still be better as the implementation can be hand-optimized in the future.

Peter Nørlund says: ==================== ipv4: Hash-based multipath routing When the routing cache was removed in 3.6, the IPv4 multipath algorithm changed from more or less being destination-based into being quasi-random per-packet scheduling. This increases the risk of out-of-order packets and makes it impossible to use multipath together with anycast services. This patch series replaces the old implementation with flow-based load balancing based on a hash over the source and destination addresses. Distribution of the hash is done with thresholds as described in RFC 2992. This reduces the disruption when a path is added/remove when having more than two paths. To futher the chance of successful usage in conjuction with anycast, ICMP error packets are hashed over the inner IP addresses. This ensures that PMTU will work together with anycast or load-balancers such as IPVS. Port numbers are not considered since fragments could cause problems with anycast and IPVS. Relying on the DF-flag for TCP packets is also insufficient, since ICMP inspection effectively extracts information from the opposite flow which might have a different state of the DF-flag. This is also why the RSS hash is not used. These are typically based on the NDIS RSS spec which mandates TCP support. Measurements of the additional overhead of a two-path multipath (p_mkroute_input excl. __mkroute_input) on a Xeon X3550 (4 cores, 2.66GHz): Original per-packet: ~394 cycles/packet L3 hash: ~76 cycles/packet Changes in v5: - Fixed compilation error Changes in v4: - Functions take hash directly instead of func ptr - Added inline hash function - Added dummy macros to minimize ifdefs - Use upper 31 bits of hash instead of lower Changes in v3: - Multipath algorithm is no longer configurable (always L3) - Added random seed to hash - Moved ICMP inspection to isolated function - Ignore source quench packets (deprecated as per RFC 6633) Changes in v2: - Replaced 8-bit xor hash with 31-bit jenkins hash - Don't scale weights (since 31-bit) - Avoided unnecesary renaming of variables - Rely on DF-bit instead of fragment offset when checking for fragmentation - upper_bound is now inclusive to avoid overflow - Use a callback to postpone extracting flow information until necessary - Skipped ICMP inspection entirely with L4 hashing - Handle newly added sysctl ignore_routes_with_linkdown ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

ICMP packets are inspected to let them route together with the flow they belong to, minimizing the chance that a problematic path will affect flows on other paths, and so that anycast environments can work with ECMP.

inet_reqsk_alloc() is used to allocate a temporary request in order to generate a SYNACK with a cookie. Then later, syncookie validation also uses a temporary request. These paths already took a reference on listener refcount, we can avoid a couple of atomic operations. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

There are multiple races that need fixes : 1) skb_get() + queue skb + kfree_skb() is racy An accept() can be done on another cpu, data consumed immediately. tcp_recvmsg() uses __kfree_skb() as it is assumed all skb found in socket receive queue are private. Then the kfree_skb() in tcp_rcv_state_process() uses an already freed skb 2) tcp_reqsk_record_syn() needs to be done before tcp_try_fastopen() for the same reasons. 3) We want to send the SYNACK before queueing child into accept queue, otherwise we might reintroduce the ooo issue fixed in commit 7c85af88 ("tcp: avoid reorders for TFO passive connections") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== bridge: complete netlink support This set completes the bridge device's netlink support and makes it possible to view and configure everything that can be configured via sysfs. I have tested all of these (setting and getting). There're a few longer line warnings about the br_get_size() ifla comments but I think we should have them to know what has been accounted for. I have used the sysfs interface as a guide of what and how to set. As usual I'll send the corresponding iproute2 patches later. The bridge port's netlink interface will be completed after this set gets applied in some form.
