The function tipc_msg_init() has turned out to be of limited value in many cases. It take too few parameters to be usable for creating a complete message, it makes too many assumptions about what the message should be used for, and it does not allocate any buffer to be returned to the caller. Therefore, we now introduce the new function tipc_msg_create(), which takes all the parameters needed to create a full message, and returns a buffer of the requested size. The new function will be very useful for the changes we will be doing in later commits in this series. Signed-off-by:

Upon timeout, undo (via both timestamps/Eifel and DSACKs) was disabled if any retransmits were still in flight. The concern was perhaps that spurious retransmission sent in a previous recovery episode may trigger DSACKs to falsely undo the current recovery. However, this inadvertently misses undo opportunities (using either TCP timestamps or DSACKs) when timeout occurs during a loss episode, i.e. recurring timeouts or timeout during fast recovery. In these cases some retransmissions will be in flight but we should allow undo. Furthermore, we should only reset undo_marker and undo_retrans upon timeout if we are starting a new recovery episode. Finally, when we do reset our undo state, we now do so in a manner similar to tcp_enter_recovery(), so that we require a DSACK for each of the outstsanding retransmissions. This will achieve the original goal by requiring that we receive the same number of DSACKs as retransmissions. This patch increases the undo events by 50% on Google servers. Signed-off-by:

The first initializer in the following union vxlan_addr ipa = { .sin.sin_addr.s_addr = tip, .sa.sa_family = AF_INET, }; is optimised away by the compiler, due to the second initializer, therefore initialising .sin.sin_addr.s_addr always to 0. This results in netlink messages indicating a L3 miss never contain the missed IP address. This was observed with GCC 4.8 and 4.9. I do not know about previous versions. The problem affects user space programs relying on an IP address being sent as part of a netlink message indicating a L3 miss. Changing .sa.sa_family = AF_INET, to .sin.sin_family = AF_INET, fixes the problem. Signed-off-by:Gerhard Stenzel <gerhard.stenzel@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

Event timestamp status messages have a variable length, ranging from 1 to 5 words (16 bit words). The current code however requires a minimum message length of sizeof(*phy_txts). In most cases this condition is fulfilled due to padding bytes. However, if several events are signaled in a single message, padding bytes may not be present. For short event timestamp status messages, the length check will fail, and the event timestamp will be dropped. Signed-off-by:

Trying to disable sriov when VFs are assigned may lead to all kinds of problems. This patch unifies the call in the driver to pci_disable_sriov() and prevents them if some of the PF's child VFs are marked as assigned. [Notice this is a bad scenario either way; User should not reach a point where the OS tries to disable SRIOV when a VF is assigned - but currently there's no way of preventing the user from doing so, and the ill-effect for the driver is smaller this way] Signed-off-by:

Commit 7a9bc9b8 ("ipv4: Elide fib_validate_source() completely when possible.") introduced a short-circuit to avoid calling fib_validate_source when not needed. That change took rp_filter into account, but not accept_local. This resulted in a change of behaviour: with rp_filter and accept_local off, incoming packets with a local address in the source field should be dropped. Here is how to reproduce the change pre/post 7a9bc9b8 commit: -configure the same IPv4 address on hosts A and B. -try to send an ARP request from B to A. -The ARP request will be dropped before that commit, but accepted and answered after that commit. This adds a check for ACCEPT_LOCAL, to maintain full fib validation in case it is 0. We also leave __fib_validate_source() earlier when possible, based on the same check as fib_validate_source(), once the accept_local stuff is verified.

In SCTP, selection of active (T.ACT) and retransmission (T.RET) transports is being done whenever transport control operations (UP, DOWN, PF, ...) are engaged through sctp_assoc_control_transport(). Commits 4c47af4d ("net: sctp: rework multihoming retransmission path selection to rfc4960") and a7288c4d ("net: sctp: improve sctp_select_active_and_retran_path selection") have both improved it towards a more fine-grained and optimal path selection. Currently, the selection algorithm for T.ACT and T.RET is as follows: 1) Elect the two most recently used ACTIVE transports T1, T2 for T.ACT, T.RET, where T.ACT<-T1 and T1 is most recently used 2) In case primary path T.PRI not in {T1, T2} but ACTIVE, set T.ACT<-T.PRI and T.RET<-T1 3) If only T1 is ACTIVE from the set, set T.ACT<-T1 and T.RET<-T1 4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT<-best(T.PRI, T.RET, T3) where T3 is the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.PRI Prior to above commits, 4) was simply a camp on T.ACT<-T.PRI and T.RET<-T.PRI, ignoring possible paths in PF. Camping on T.PRI is still slightly suboptimal as it can lead to the following scenario: Setup: <A> <B> T1: p1p1 (10.0.10.10) <==> .'`) <==> p1p1 (10.0.10.12) <= T.PRI T2: p1p2 (10.0.10.20) <==> (_ . ) <==> p1p2 (10.0.10.22) net.sctp.rto_min = 1000 net.sctp.path_max_retrans = 2 net.sctp.pf_retrans = 0 net.sctp.hb_interval = 1000 T.PRI is permanently down, T2 is put briefly into PF state (e.g. due to link flapping). Here, the first time transmission is sent over PF path T2 as it's the only non-INACTIVE path, but the retransmitted data-chunks are sent over the INACTIVE path T1 (T.PRI), which is not good. After the patch, it's choosing better transports in both cases by modifying step 4): 4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT_new<-best(T.ACT_old, T3) where T3 is the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.ACT_new This will still select a best possible path in PF if available (which can also include T.PRI/T.RET), and set both T.ACT/T.RET to it. In case sctp_assoc_control_transport() *just* put T.ACT_old into INACTIVE as it transitioned from ACTIVE->PF->INACTIVE and stays in INACTIVE just for a very short while before going back ACTIVE, it will guarantee that this path will be reselected for T.ACT/T.RET since T3 (PF) is not available. Previously, this was not possible, as we would only select between T.PRI and T.RET, and a possible T3 would be NULL due to the fact that we have just transitioned T3 in sctp_assoc_control_transport() from PF->INACTIVE and would select a suboptimal path when T.PRI/T.RET have worse properties. In the case that T.ACT_old permanently went to INACTIVE during this transition and there's no PF path available, plus T.PRI and T.RET are INACTIVE as well, we would now camp on T.ACT_old, but if everything is being INACTIVE there's really not much we can do except hoping for a successful HB to bring one of the transports back up again and, thus cause a new selection through sctp_assoc_control_transport(). Now both tests work fine: Case 1: 1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET 2. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(PF) 3. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(INACTIVE) 5. T1 S(PF) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(INACTIVE) [ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(INACTIVE) ] 6. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(INACTIVE) 7. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET Case 2: 1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET 2. T1 S(PF) T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET 3. T1 S(INACTIVE) T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET 5. T1 S(INACTIVE) T2 S(PF) T.ACT, T.RET [ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE) T2 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET ] 6. T1 S(INACTIVE) T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET 7. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET Signed-off-by:
