David S. Miller 957c665f37 ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache.

Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response
to route lookup requests, all live in the same table.  And
all of these things are together collected in the destination
cache table for ipv6.

This means that routing table entries count against the garbage
collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed
and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being
created in response to lookups).

Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries
against the GC limits.

Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting
if it is set.  Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table
entries.

Linus Torvalds 268bb0ce3e sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage
Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
   grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

David S. Miller 62fa8a846d net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write.

Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location.
If a routing table entry exists, it will point there.  Else it will
point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'.

The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the
metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store
more states.

For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc.
However future enhancements will change this to place the writable
metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing.  Very likely
this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache.

Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail
if we cannot COW the metrics successfully.

But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and
increase cache locality especially for routing workloads.  In those
cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written
to.

TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where
PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit.  But
that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics
move to a more sharable location.

Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to
what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout
was necessary.

Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference
count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state,
as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks.

The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into
the writeable cacheline.  This is OK since we are always accessing the
flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the
reference count.

Eric Dumazet 332dd96f7a net/dst: dst_dev_event() called after other notifiers
Followup of commit ef885afbf8 (net: use rcu_barrier() in
rollback_registered_many)

dst_dev_event() scans a garbage dst list that might be feeded by various
network notifiers at device dismantle time.

Its important to call dst_dev_event() after other notifiers, or we might
enter the infamous msleep(250) in netdev_wait_allrefs(), and wait one
second before calling again call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
dev) to properly remove last device references.

Use priority -10 to let dst_dev_notifier be called after other network
notifiers (they have the default 0 priority)

Eric Dumazet 27b75c95f1 net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst
There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time
(used once).

Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change
skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst.

This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand
of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly.

CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary
dsts.

Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(),
since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

Eric Dumazet 34d101dd62 neigh: speedup neigh_hh_init()
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 c7d4426a98
(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.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

we use atomic_dec_return() to help CPU to make the right memory transaction

Benjamin Thery f262b59bec net: fix scheduling of dst_gc_task by __dst_free
The dst garbage collector dst_gc_task() may not be scheduled as we
expect it to be in __dst_free().

Indeed, when the dst_gc_timer was replaced by the delayed_work
dst_gc_work, the mod_timer() call used to schedule the garbage
collector at an earlier date was replaced by a schedule_delayed_work()
(see commit 86bba269d0).

But, the behaviour of mod_timer() and schedule_delayed_work() is
different in the way they handle the delay. 

mod_timer() stops the timer and re-arm it with the new given delay,
whereas schedule_delayed_work() only check if the work is already
queued in the workqueue (and queue it (with delay) if it is not)
BUT it does NOT take into account the new delay (even if the new delay
is earlier in time).
schedule_delayed_work() returns 0 if it didn't queue the work,
but we don't check the return code in __dst_free().

If I understand the code in __dst_free() correctly, we want dst_gc_task
to be queued after DST_GC_INC jiffies if we pass the test (and not in
some undetermined time in the future), so I think we should add a call
to cancel_delayed_work() before schedule_delayed_work(). Patch below.

Or we should at least test the return code of schedule_delayed_work(),
and reset the values of dst_garbage.timer_inc and dst_garbage.timer_expires
back to their former values if schedule_delayed_work() failed.
Otherwise the subsequent calls to __dst_free will test the wrong values
and assume wrong thing about when the garbage collector is supposed to
be scheduled.

dst_gc_task() also calls schedule_delayed_work() without checking
its return code (or calling cancel_scheduled_work() first), but it
should fine there: dst_gc_task is the routine of the delayed_work, so
no dst_gc_work should be pending in the queue when it's running.

Eric Dumazet 64b7d96167 [NET]: dst_ifdown() cleanup
This cleanup shrinks size of net/core/dst.o on i386 from 1299 to 1289 bytes.
(This is because dev_hold()/dev_put() are doing atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() and
force compiler to re-evaluate memory contents.)

Herbert Xu 352e512c32 [NET]: Eliminate duplicate copies of dst_discard
We have a number of copies of dst_discard scattered around the place
which all do the same thing, namely free a packet on the input or
output paths.

This patch deletes all of them except dst_discard and points all the
users to it.

The only non-trivial bit is decnet where it returns an error.
However, conceptually this is identical to the blackhole functions
used in IPv4 and IPv6 which do not return errors.  So they should
either all return errors or all return zero.  For now I've stuck with
the majority and picked zero as the return value.

It doesn't really matter in practice since few if any driver would
react differently depending on a zero return value or NET_RX_DROP.

This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace.  Adding

This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they
access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the
code compiling and working.  A later pass will be needed to
update the users to use something other than the initial network
namespace.

Eric Dumazet 86bba269d0 [PATCH] NET : convert IP route cache garbage collection from softirq processing to a workqueue
When the periodic IP route cache flush is done (every 600 seconds on
default configuration), some hosts suffer a lot and eventually trigger
the "soft lockup" message.

dst_run_gc() is doing a scan of a possibly huge list of dst_entries,
eventually freeing some (less than 1%) of them, while holding the
dst_lock spinlock for the whole scan.

Then it rearms a timer to redo the full thing 1/10 s later...
The slowdown can last one minute or so, depending on how active are
the tcp sessions.

This second version of the patch converts the processing from a softirq
based one to a workqueue.

Even if the list of entries in garbage_list is huge, host is still
responsive to softirqs and can make progress.

Instead of resetting gc timer to 0.1 second if one entry was freed in a
gc run, we do this if more than 10% of entries were freed.

Eric W. Biederman e9dc865340 [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device.  If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.

To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.

As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

Tim Schmielau cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Arjan van de Ven f5a6e01c09 [NET]: user of the jiffies rounding code: Networking
This patch introduces users of the round_jiffies() function in the
networking code.

These timers all were of the "about once a second" or "about once
every X seconds" variety and several showed up in the "what wakes the
cpu up" profiles that the tickless patches provide.  Some timers are
highly dynamic based on network load; but even on low activity systems
they still show up so the rounding is done only in cases of low
activity, allowing higher frequency timers in the high activity case.

The various hardware watchdogs are an obvious case; they run every 2
seconds but aren't otherwise specific of exactly when they need to
run.

add_timer(&dst_gc_timer) <--- BUG because timer is in list already.

Found during OpenVZ internal testing.

At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we
added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(),
but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger
this condition in mainstream kernel.

F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted
by an irq before dst_lock is tried.
Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and
starts the timer.
If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire
simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving
exactly to the situation described.

Denis Lunev f0098f7863 [NET] Fix too aggressive backoff in dst garbage collection
The bug is evident when it is seen once. dst gc timer was backed off,
when gc queue is not empty. But this means that timer quickly backs off,
if at least one destination remains in use. Normally, the bug is invisible,
because adding new dst entry to queue cancels the backoff. But it shots
deadly with destination cache overflow when new destinations are not released
for long time f.e. after an interface goes down.

The fix is to cancel backoff when something was released.
