Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks. I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations. This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow on a workload adding/removing network devices in background. All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does roughly a revert of commits : 1c2d670f : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks 6313c1e0 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed. It also takes care of phonet : phonet_route_get() is now called from rcu read section. I renamed it to phonet_route_get_rcu() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Cc: Remi Denis-Courmont <remi.denis-courmont@nokia.com> Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Slow path output route resolution always makes sure that ->{saddr,daddr} are set, and also if we trigger into IPSEC resolution we initialize them as well, because xfrm_lookup() expects them to be fully resolved. But if we hit the fast path and flowi4->flowi4_proto is zero, we won't do this initialization. Therefore, move the IPSEC path initialization to the route cache lookup fast path to make sure these are always set. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The rcu protected macros rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() for the bat_priv->primary_if need to be used, as well as spin/rcu locking. Otherwise we might end up using a primary_if pointer pointing to already freed memory. Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

This is a regression from c4aac1ab - gw_node_update() doesn't add a new gw_node in case of empty curr_gw. This means that at the beginning no gw_node is added, leading to an empty gateway list. - gw_election() is terminating in case of curr_gw == NULL. It has to terminate in case of curr_gw != NULL Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

This makes sure that one cannot request a 99Mbps full-duplex and get a 100Mbps half-duplex configuration in return due to the way the speed/duplex parameters are handled internally.

This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated. Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work Signed-off-by: David Decotigny <decot@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET). This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings() does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline. All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been updated. Signed-off-by: David Decotigny <decot@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications (gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover. Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer notification should be deferred until it does. Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer notifications on bonding failover. Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested. Since it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter. Bump the bonding version number and update its documentation.

Pktgen doesn't generate number of frags requested. Divide packet size by number of frags and fill that in every frags. Example: With packet size 1470, it generate only 11 frags. Initial frags get lenght 706, 353, 177....so on. Last frag get divided by 2. Now with this fix, each frags will get 78 bytes.

We don't actually hold the socket lock at this point, so the rcu_dereference_protected() isn't' correct. Thanks to Eric Dumazet for pointing this out. Thankfully, we're only interested in fetching the faddr value if srr is enabled, so we can simply make this an RCU sequence and use plain rcu_dereference().
