      net: bcmgenet: set RBUF_SKIP_FCS based on UniMAC CRC forwarding · ebe5e3c6
      Florian Fainelli authored 
      When the UniMAC block is configured to forward the CRC as part of the
Ethernet frame (priv->crc_fwd_en, set by default), enabling the hardware
RX checksum block unveiled that the dma_rxchk_bit was never set in the
per-packet status bits (dma_flag in bcmgenet_desc_rx). This would make
the chksum_ok variable to be never set to 1, and the networking stack
would have to compute the packet checksums, which takes a substantial
amount of time.

In order for the RXCHK block to properly compute the packet checksum in
hardware, we also need to set the RBUF_SKIP_FCS bit accordingly.

      There is no need to allocate 15 bytes in excess for a SYNACK packet,
as it contains no data, only headers.

SYNACK are always generated in softirq context, and contain a single
segment, we can use TCP_INC_STATS_BH()

      ipv6: do not overwrite inetpeer metrics prematurely · e5fd387a
      Michal Kubeček authored 
      If an IPv6 host route with metrics exists, an attempt to add a
new route for the same target with different metrics fails but
rewrites the metrics anyway:

12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000
12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show
fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256
fec0::1 dev eth0  metric 1024  rto_min lock 1s
12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1500
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show
fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256
fec0::1 dev eth0  metric 1024  rto_min lock 1.5s

This is caused by all IPv6 host routes using the metrics in
their inetpeer (or the shared default). This also holds for the
new route created in ip6_route_add() which shares the metrics
with the already existing route and thus ip6_route_add()
rewrites the metrics even if the new route ends up not being
used at all.

Another problem is that old metrics in inetpeer can reappear
unexpectedly for a new route, e.g.

12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000
12sp0:~ # ip route del fec0::1
12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0
12sp0:~ # ip route change fec0::1 dev eth0 hoplimit 10
12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show
fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256
fec0::1 dev eth0  metric 1024  hoplimit 10 rto_min lock 1s

Resolve the first problem by moving the setting of metrics down
into fib6_add_rt2node() to the point we are sure we are
inserting the new route into the tree. Second problem is
addressed by introducing new flag DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE
which is set for a new host route in ip6_route_add() and makes
ipv6_cow_metrics() always overwrite the metrics in inetpeer
(even if they are not "new"); it is reset after that.

v5: use a flag in _metrics member rather than one in flags

v4: fix a typo making a condition always true (thanks to Hannes
Frederic Sowa)

v3: rewritten based on David Miller's idea to move setting the
metrics (and allocation in non-host case) down to the point we
already know the route is to be inserted. Also rebased to
net-next as it is quite late in the cycle.

====================
tipc: clean up bearer and node layer

This is another commit series which aims at facilitating future
changes to the locking policy around nodes, links and bearers.

Currently, the tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node',
'link' and 'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big
read/write lock (tipc_net_lock), to ensure that nothing is added or
removed while any of these structures is being accessed. Obviously
the locking policy makes node, link and bearer components closely
bound together so that their relationship becomes extremely complex.
In the worst case, such locking policy not only has a negative
influence on performance, but also it's prone to lead to deadlock
occasionally.

In order to decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node
as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows:

- Bearer level
  RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side.
  Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are
  saved into bearer_list array.

- Node and link level
  All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
  lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
  and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node
  structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock.

- The relationship between bearer and node
  When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with
  its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses
  node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node address
  to find the corresponding node.

In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking
solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple,
that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity
from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array.

But, prior to these changes, we need to do some necessary cleanup and
code consolidation. This is what we do with this commit series. In a
later series we will replace net_lock with RTNL as well as RCU lock
to deploy the new locking policy.

      tipc: use node list lock to protect tipc_num_links variable · dde20266
      Ying Xue authored 
      Without properly implicit or explicit read memory barrier, it's
unsafe to read an atomic variable with atomic_read() from another
thread which is different with the thread of changing the atomic
variable with atomic_inc() or atomic_dec(). So a stale tipc_num_links
may be got with atomic_read() in tipc_node_get_links(). If the
tipc_num_links variable type is converted from atomic to unsigned
integer and node list lock is used to protect it, the issue would
be avoided.
