      net: skip genenerating uevents for network namespaces that are exiting · 002d8a1a
      Andrey Vagin authored 
      No one can see these events, because a network namespace can not be
destroyed, if it has sockets.

Unlike other devices, uevent-s for network devices are generated
only inside their network namespaces. They are filtered in
kobj_bcast_filter()

My experiments shows that net namespaces are destroyed more 30% faster
with this optimization.

Here is a perf output for destroying network namespaces without this
patch.

                        + 13.71% kobject_uevent
                     - 13.04% netdev_queue_update_kobjects
                        + 12.96% kobject_put
                     - 12.72% net_rx_queue_update_kobjects
                          kobject_put
                        - kobject_release
                           + 12.69% kobject_uevent
                  + 0.80% call_netdevice_notifiers_info
         + 19.57% nfsd_exit_net
         + 11.15% tcp_net_metrics_exit
         + 8.25% rpcsec_gss_exit_net

It's very critical to optimize the exit path for network namespaces,
because they are destroyed under net_mutex and many namespaces can be
destroyed for one iteration.

v2: use dev_set_uevent_suppress()

      Merge branch 'genetlink-improvements' · 0fb6af70

====================
genetlink improvements

This series contains some generic netlink improvements, making
the API safer to use, and making the function pointers in the
family struct safer by allowing it to be __ro_after_init.

The first patch, introducing genl_family_attrbuf(), just ensures
that the users of family->attrbuf aren't actually racy, but making
them use the indirection function for obtaining a reference and
checking that the context can actually do so.

The second patch removes the more or less broken ability to have
a static family ID, the three IDs that need to be static because
it's simply needed (genl controller), or due to old API misused.
Everything else couldn't be static anyway, or could fail when the
family is registered, if somebody else already got a static ID.

The third patch statically initializes the families, mostly to save
some code. I wrote this initially because I thought I could make
them all const, but that ends up being very inefficient (it would
require always doing some kind of family -> id lookup), so now it's
just here because I had it already and it reduces the code size.

The fourth patch then, finally, lays the groundwork for what I had
really wanted - now with __ro_after_init instead of const; I remove
code there to do the ID->family hash table mapping in genetlink and
use IDR instead to both allocate and map the IDs, which again ends
up saving some code size.

Finally, the fifth patch updates all families, as it turns out, no
families exist that really dynamically register/unregister. This
last patch should perhaps be split up, I could submit it for each
subsystem separately, but it'd depend on the second and third to
go in first, so would take a while. I can do that though, if that
seems better to you.

      genetlink: mark families as __ro_after_init · 56989f6d
      Johannes Berg authored 
      Now genl_register_family() is the only thing (other than the
users themselves, perhaps, but I didn't find any doing that)
writing to the family struct.

In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only
called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case
I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can
actually be marked __ro_after_init.

This protects the data structure from accidental corruption.

      genetlink: use idr to track families · 2ae0f17d
      Johannes Berg authored 
      Since generic netlink family IDs are small integers, allocated
densely, IDR is an ideal match for lookups. Replace the existing
hand-written hash-table with IDR for allocation and lookup.

This lets the families only be written to once, during register,
since the list_head can be removed and removal of a family won't
cause any writes.

It also slightly reduces the code size (by about 1.3k on x86-64).

      genetlink: statically initialize families · 489111e5
      Johannes Berg authored 
      Instead of providing macros/inline functions to initialize
the families, make all users initialize them statically and
get rid of the macros.

This reduces the kernel code size by about 1.6k on x86-64
(with allyesconfig).

      genetlink: no longer support using static family IDs · a07ea4d9
      Johannes Berg authored 
      Static family IDs have never really been used, the only
use case was the workaround I introduced for those users
that assumed their family ID was also their multicast
group ID.

Additionally, because static family IDs would never be
reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively
low ID would only work for built-in families that can be
registered immediately after generic netlink is started,
which is basically only the control family (apart from
the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so
it would reserve those IDs)

Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and
luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move
those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get
rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust.

      genetlink: introduce and use genl_family_attrbuf() · c90c39da
      Johannes Berg authored 
      This helper function allows family implementations to access
their family's attrbuf. This gets rid of the attrbuf usage
in families, and also adds locking validation, since it's not
valid to use the attrbuf with parallel_ops or outside of the
dumpit callback.

      skbedit: allow the user to specify bitmask for mark · 4fe77d82
      Antonio Quartulli authored 
      The user may want to use only some bits of the skb mark in
his skbedit rules because the remaining part might be used by
something else.

Introduce the "mask" parameter to the skbedit actor in order
to implement such functionality.

When the mask is specified, only those bits selected by the
latter are altered really changed by the actor, while the
rest is left untouched.
