Based on suggestion by Rémi Denis-Courmont to implement 'connect' for Pipe controller logic, this patch implements 'connect' socket call for the Pipe controller logic. The patch does following:- - Removes setsockopts for PNPIPE_CREATE and PNPIPE_DESTROY - Adds setsockopt for setting the Pipe handle value - Implements connect socket call - Updates the Pipe controller logic User-space should now follow below sequence with Pipe controller:- -socket -bind -setsockopt for PNPIPE_PIPE_HANDLE -connect -setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENCAP_IP -setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENABLE GPRS/3G data has been tested working fine with this.

We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in network stack, using RCU conversions. There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some app servers, mmap af_packet) We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes per device.

This patch generalises the task of determining data loss from RFC 4340, 7.7.1. Let S_A, S_B be sequence numbers such that S_B is "after" S_A, and let N_B be the NDP count of packet S_B. Then, using modulo-2^48 arithmetic, D = S_B - S_A - 1 is an upper bound of the number of lost data packets, D - N_B is an approximation of the number of lost data packets (there are cases where this is not exact). The patch implements this as dccp_loss_count(S_A, S_B, N_B) := max(S_B - S_A - 1 - N_B, 0) Signed-off-by: Ivo Calado <ivocalado@embedded.ufcg.edu.br> Signed-off-by: Erivaldo Xavier <desadoc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Leandro Sales <leandroal@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

This removes the argument `more' from ccid_hc_tx_packet_sent, since it was nowhere used in the entire code. (Btw, this argument was not even used in the original KAME code where the function initially came from; compare the variable moreToSend in the freebsd61-dccp-kame-28.08.2006.patch kept by Emmanuel Lochin.)

This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake. Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2), it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection. This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time during the lifetime of a connection. Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are updated, as implemented by the patch. A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the feature negotiation has completed. During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection; the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).

Add a seqlock in struct neighbour to protect neigh->ha[], and avoid dirtying neighbour in stress situation (many different flows / dsts) Dirtying takes place because of read_lock(&n->lock) and n->used writes.

Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions), the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace. Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

Stanse found that ia_init_one locks a spinlock and inside of that it calls ia_start which calls: * request_irq * tx_init which does kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) Both of them can thus sleep and result in a deadlock. I don't see a reason to have a per-device spinlock there which is used only there and inited right before the lock location. So remove it completely.

When a new dst is used to send a frame, neigh_resolve_output() tries to associate an struct hh_cache to this dst, calling neigh_hh_init() with the neigh rwlock write locked. Most of the time, hh_cache is already known and linked into neighbour, so we find it and increment its refcount. This patch changes the logic so that we call neigh_hh_init() with neighbour lock read locked only, so that fast path can be run in parallel by concurrent cpus. This brings part of the speedup we got with commit c7d4426a (introduce DST_NOCACHE flag) for non cached dsts, even for cached ones, removing one of the contention point that routers hit on multiqueue enabled machines. Further improvements would need to use a seqlock instead of an rwlock to protect neigh->ha[], to not dirty neigh too often and remove two atomic ops.

The rx->count reference is used to track reference counts to the number of rx-queue kobjects created for the device. This patch eliminates initialization of the counter in netif_alloc_rx_queues and instead increments the counter each time a kobject is created. This is now symmetric with the decrement that is done when an object is released.
