This patch fixes a broken build due to a missing header: ... CC net/ipv4/proc.o In file included from include/net/net_namespace.h:15, from net/ipv4/proc.c:35: include/net/netns/packet.h:11: error: field 'sklist_lock' has incomplete type ... The lock of netns_packet has been replaced by a recent patch to be a mutex instead of a spinlock, but we need to replace the header file to be linux/mutex.h instead of linux/spinlock.h as well.

In order to understand where a broadcast packet is coming from and use this information to detect not yet announced clients, this patch modifies the interface_rx() function by passing a new argument: the orig node corresponding to the node that originated the received packet (if known). This new argument if not NULL for broadcast packets only (other packets does not have source field). Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its joining event will be spread over the mesh network. This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs) the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts, etc. This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM is not received within a fixed amount of time. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

When enabling promiscuous mode, tt queries for other hosts might be received. Before this patch, "foreign" tt queries were processed like any other query and thus forwarded to its destination again and thereby causing a loop. This patch adds a check to drop foreign tt queries.

The structure batadv_priv grows everytime a new feature is introduced. It gets hard to find the parts of the struct that belongs to a specific feature. This becomes even harder by the fact that not every feature uses a prefix in the member name. The variables for bridge loop avoidence, gateway handling, translation table and visualization server are moved into separate structs that are included in the bat_priv main struct.

If this call fails, some of the orig_nodes spaces may have been resized for the increased number of interface, and some may not. If we would just continue with the larger number of interfaces, this would lead to access to not allocated memory later. We better check the return code, and don't add the interface if no memory is available. OTOH, keeping some of the orig_nodes with too much memory allocated should hurt no one (except for a few too many bytes allocated).

Change since v1: * Fixed inuse counters access spotted by Eric In patch eea68e2f (packet: Report socket mclist info via diag module) I've introduced a "scheduling in atomic" problem in packet diag module -- the socket list is traversed under rcu_read_lock() while performed under it sk mclist access requires rtnl lock (i.e. -- mutex) to be taken. [152363.820563] BUG: scheduling while atomic: crtools/12517/0x10000002 [152363.820573] 4 locks held by crtools/12517: [152363.820581] #0: (sock_diag_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81a2dcb5>] sock_diag_rcv+0x1f/0x3e [152363.820613] #1: (sock_diag_table_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81a2de70>] sock_diag_rcv_msg+0xdb/0x11a [152363.820644] #2: (nlk->cb_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81a67d01>] netlink_dump+0x23/0x1ab [152363.820693] #3: (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff81b6a049>] packet_diag_dump+0x0/0x1af Similar thing was then re-introduced by further packet diag patches (fanount mutex and pgvec mutex for rings) :( Apart from being terribly sorry for the above, I propose to change the packet sk list protection from spinlock to mutex. This lock currently protects two modifications: * sklist * prot inuse counters The sklist modifications can be just reprotected with mutex since they already occur in a sleeping context. The inuse counters modifications are trickier -- the __this_cpu_-s are used inside, thus requiring the caller to handle the potential issues with contexts himself. Since packet sockets' counters are modified in two places only (packet_create and packet_release) we only need to protect the context from being preempted. BH disabling is not required in this case.

The helper functions which translate IEEE MDIO Manageable Device (MMD) Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) registers 3.20, 7.60 and 7.61 to and from the comparable ethtool supported/advertised settings will be needed by drivers other than those in PHYLIB (e.g. e1000e in a follow-on patch). In the same fashion as similar translation functions in linux/mii.h, move these functions from the PHYLIB core to the linux/mdio.h header file so the code will not have to be duplicated in each driver needing MMD-to-ethtool (and vice-versa) translations. The function and some variable names have been renamed to be more descriptive. Not tested on the only hardware that currently calls the related functions, stmmac, because I don't have access to any. Has been compile tested and the translations have been tested on a locally modified version of e1000e.

Currently the "bonding" driver does not support load balancing outgoing traffic in LACP mode for IPv6 traffic. IPv4 (and TCP or UDP over IPv4) are currently supported; this patch adds transmit hashing for IPv6 (and TCP or UDP over IPv6), bringing IPv6 up to par with IPv4 support in the bonding driver. In addition, bounds checking has been added to all transmit hashing functions. The algorithm chosen (xor'ing the bottom three quads of the source and destination addresses together, then xor'ing each byte of that result into the bottom byte, finally xor'ing with the last bytes of the MAC addresses) was selected after testing almost 400,000 unique IPv6 addresses harvested from server logs. This algorithm had the most even distribution for both big- and little-endian architectures while still using few instructions. Its behavior also attempts to closely match that of the IPv4 algorithm. The IPv6 flow label was intentionally not included in the hash as it appears to be unset in the vast majority of IPv6 traffic sampled, and the current algorithm not using the flow label already offers a very even distribution. Fragmented IPv6 packets are handled the same way as fragmented IPv4 packets, ie, they are not balanced based on layer 4 information. Additionally, IPv6 packets with intermediate headers are not balanced based on layer 4 information. In practice these intermediate headers are not common and this should not cause any problems, and the alternative (a packet-parsing loop and look-up table) seemed slow and complicated for little gain.

This patch reverts commit 56892261 (xfrm: Use rcu_dereference_bh to deference pointer protected by rcu_read_lock_bh), and fixes bugs introduced in commit 418a99ac ( Replace rwlock on xfrm_policy_afinfo with rcu ) 1) We properly use RCU variant in this file, not a mix of RCU/RCU_BH 2) We must defer some writes after the synchronize_rcu() call or a reader can crash dereferencing NULL pointer. 3) Now we use the xfrm_policy_afinfo_lock spinlock only from process context, we no longer need to block BH in xfrm_policy_register_afinfo() and xfrm_policy_unregister_afinfo() 4) Can use RCU_INIT_POINTER() instead of rcu_assign_pointer() in xfrm_policy_unregister_afinfo() 5) Remove a forward inline declaration (xfrm_policy_put_afinfo()), and also move xfrm_policy_get_afinfo() declaration.

I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues. These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls. We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER. As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed device swap on busy dst. To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock. Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care ! Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after IP cache removal.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== This is the first batch of Netfilter and IPVS updates for your net-next tree. Mostly cleanups for the Netfilter side. They are: * Remove unnecessary RTNL locking now that we have support for namespace in nf_conntrack, from Patrick McHardy. * Cleanup to eliminate unnecessary goto in the initialization path of several Netfilter tables, from Jean Sacren. * Another cleanup from Wu Fengguang, this time to PTR_RET instead of if IS_ERR then return PTR_ERR. * Use list_for_each_entry_continue_rcu in nf_iterate, from Michael Wang. * Add pmtu_disc sysctl option to disable PMTU in their tunneling transmitter, from Julian Anastasov. * Generalize application protocol registration in IPVS and modify IPVS FTP helper to use it, from Julian Anastasov. * update Kconfig. The IPVS FTP helper depends on the Netfilter FTP helper for NAT support, from Julian Anastasov. * Add logic to update PMTU for IPIP packets in IPVS, again from Julian Anastasov. * A couple of sparse warning fixes for IPVS and Netfilter from Claudiu Ghioc and Patrick McHardy respectively. Patrick's IPv6 NAT changes will follow after this batch, I need to flush this batch first before refreshing my tree. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Usually it's a good practice to use goto statement for error recovery when initializing the module. This approach could be an overkill if: 1) there is only one fail case; 2) success and failure use the same return statement. For a cleaner approach, remove the unnecessary goto statement and directly implement error recovery.
