2014-03-20rtnetlink: fix fdb notification flagsNicolas Dichtel
Commit 3ff661c38c84 ("net: rtnetlink notify events for FDB NTF_SELF adds and deletes") reuses the function nlmsg_populate_fdb_fill() to notify fdb events. But this function was used only for dump and thus was always setting the flag NLM_F_MULTI, which is wrong in case of a single notification. Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.

2014-03-20net/core/flow.c: Fix CPU hotplug callback registrationSrivatsa S. Bhat
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback registration is: cpu_notifier_register_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_notifier_register_done(); Fix the code in net/core/flow.c by using this latter form of callback registration.

2014-03-17netpoll: Remove dead packet receive code (CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP)Eric W. Biederman
The netpoll packet receive code only becomes active if the netpoll rx_skb_hook is implemented, and there is not a single implementation of the netpoll rx_skb_hook in the kernel. All of the out of tree implementations I have found all call netpoll_poll which was removed from the kernel in 2011, so this change should not add any additional breakage. There are problems with the netpoll packet receive code. __netpoll_rx does not call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb_any in hard irq context. netpoll_neigh_reply leaks every skb it receives. Reception of packets does not work successfully on stacked devices (aka bonding, team, bridge, and vlans). Given that the netpoll packet receive code is buggy, there are no out of tree users that will be merged soon, and the code has not been used for in tree for a decade let's just remove it. Reverting this commit can server as a starting point for anyone who wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception support. Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2014-03-17netpoll: Move all receive processing under CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAPEric W. Biederman
Make rx_skb_hook, and rx in struct netpoll depend on CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP Make rx_lock, rx_np, and neigh_tx in struct netpoll_info depend on CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP Make the functions netpoll_rx_on, netpoll_rx, and netpoll_receive_skb no-ops when CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP is not set. Only build netpoll_neigh_reply, checksum_udp service_neigh_queue, pkt_is_ns, and __netpoll_rx when CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP is defined. Add helper functions netpoll_trap_setup, netpoll_trap_setup_info, netpoll_trap_cleanup, and netpoll_trap_cleanup_info that initialize and cleanup the struct netpoll and struct netpoll_info receive specific fields when CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP is enabled and do nothing otherwise.

2014-03-17netpoll: Don't drop all received packets.Eric W. Biederman
Change the strategy of netpoll from dropping all packets received during netpoll_poll_dev to calling napi poll with a budget of 0 (to avoid processing drivers rx queue), and to ignore packets received with netif_rx (those will safely be placed on the backlog queue). All of the netpoll supporting drivers have been reviewed to ensure either thay use netif_rx or that a budget of 0 is supported by their napi poll routine and that a budget of 0 will not process the drivers rx queues. Not dropping packets makes NETPOLL_RX_DROP unnecesary so it is removed. npinfo->rx_flags is removed as rx_flags with just the NETPOLL_RX_ENABLED flag becomes just a redundant mirror of list_empty(&npinfo->rx_np).

2014-03-17netpoll: Warn if more packets are processed than are budgetedEric W. Biederman
There is already a warning for this case in the normal netpoll path, but put a copy here in case how netpoll calls the poll functions causes a differenet result. netpoll will shortly call the napi poll routine with a budget 0 to avoid any rx packets being processed.

2014-03-17netpoll: move setting of NETPOLL_RX_DROP into netpoll_poll_devEric W. Biederman

Move this setting into netpoll_poll_dev from poll_one_napi so that if ndo_poll_controller happens to receive packets we will drop the packets on the floor instead of letting the packets bounce through the networking stack and potentially cause problems.

The then still uninitialized array will very likely fail the command matching tests and the pr_warning() at the end will therefore leak stack bytes to the kernel log.

2014-02-24smp: Rename __smp_call_function_single() to smp_call_function_single_async()Frederic Weisbecker
The name __smp_call_function_single() doesn't tell much about the properties of this function, especially when compared to smp_call_function_single(). The comments above the implementation are also misleading. The main point of this function is actually not to be able to embed the csd in an object. This is actually a requirement that result from the purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously. As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the IPIs on this csd. Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect these properties.

2014-02-24smp: Remove wait argument from __smp_call_function_single()Frederic Weisbecker
The main point of calling __smp_call_function_single() is to send an IPI in a pure asynchronous way. By embedding a csd in an object, a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such, sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled. This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a single csd are serialized. This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this usecase is relevant. Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look at the two possible scenario: 1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily. But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) and the object can be passed an the IPI argument. Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs for this csd. 2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single() can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone. Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1 is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more simple. There was a single user of that which has just been converted. So lets remove this option to discourage further users.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for your net tree, they are: * Fix nf_trace in nftables if XT_TRACE=n, from Florian Westphal. * Don't use the fast payload operation in nf_tables if the length is not power of 2 or it is not aligned, from Nikolay Aleksandrov. * Fix missing break statement the inet flavour of nft_reject, which results in evaluating IPv4 packets with the IPv6 evaluation routine, from Patrick McHardy. * Fix wrong kconfig symbol in nft_meta to match the routing realm, from Paul Bolle. * Allocate the NAT null binding when creating new conntracks via ctnetlink to avoid that several packets race at initializing the the conntrack NAT extension, original patch from Florian Westphal, revisited version from me. * Fix DNAT handling in the snmp NAT helper, the same handling was being done for SNAT and DNAT and 2.4 already contains that fix, from Francois-Xavier Le Bail. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The only place this is used outside rtnetlink.c is veth. So provide wrapper function for this usage. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-02-17netfilter: nf_tables: fix nf_trace always-on with XT_TRACE=nFlorian Westphal
When using nftables with CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TRACE=n, we get lots of "TRACE: filter:output:policy:1 IN=..." warnings as several places will leave skb->nf_trace uninitialised. Unlike iptables tracing functionality is not conditional in nftables, so always copy/zero nf_trace setting when nftables is enabled. Move this into __nf_copy() helper.

2014-02-17netdevice: move netdev_cap_txqueue for shared usage to headerDaniel Borkmann
In order to allow users to invoke netdev_cap_txqueue, it needs to be moved into netdevice.h header file. While at it, also add kernel doc header to document the API. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-02-17netdevice: add queue selection fallback handler for ndo_select_queueDaniel Borkmann
Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx(); fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers invoke this function within their customized implementation in case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc). This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that function to modules can be undone. Suggested-by: David S.

2014-02-13net: remove unnecessary return'sstephen hemminger
One of my pet coding style peeves is the practice of adding extra return; at the end of function. Kill several instances of this in network code. I suppose some coccinelle wizardy could do this automatically. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
