Ian Morris 63159f29be ipv6: coding style: comparison for equality with NULL
The ipv6 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check for NULL
pointer is done as x == NULL and sometimes as !x. !x is preferred according to
checkpatch and this patch makes the code consistent by adopting the latter
form.

No changes detected by objdiff.

David S. Miller 0fa74a4be4 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Conflicts:
	drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c
	net/core/sysctl_net_core.c
	net/ipv4/inet_diag.c

The be_main.c conflict resolution was really tricky.  The conflict
hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least.  It
split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual
conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being
be_map_pci_bars().

So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top
of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since
the last time I merged.  And this worked beautifully.

The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple
overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve.

Hajime Tazaki cd3bafc73d xfrm6: Fix a offset value for network header in _decode_session6
When a network-layer header has multiple IPv6 extension headers, then offset
for mobility header goes wrong. This regression breaks an xfrm policy lookup
for a particular receive packet. Binding update packets of Mobile IPv6
are all discarded without this fix.

Steffen Klassert f855691975 xfrm6: Fix the nexthdr offset in _decode_session6.
xfrm_decode_session() was originally designed for the
usage in the receive path where the correct nexthdr offset
is stored in IP6CB(skb)->nhoff. Over time this function
spread to code that is used in the output path (netfilter,
vti) where IP6CB(skb)->nhoff is not set. As a result, we
get a wrong nexthdr and the upper layer flow informations
are wrong. This can leed to incorrect policy lookups.

Steffen Klassert de3b7a06df xfrm6: Fix transport header offset in _decode_session6.
skb->transport_header might not be valid when we do a reverse
decode because the ipv6 tunnel error handlers don't update it
to the inner transport header. This leads to a wrong offset
calculation and to wrong layer 4 informations. We fix this
by using the size of the ipv6 header as the first offset.

Steffen Klassert 84502b5ef9 xfrm: Fix null pointer dereference when decoding sessions
On some codepaths the skb does not have a dst entry
when xfrm_decode_session() is called. So check for
a valid skb_dst() before dereferencing the device

there is no valid skb_dst(), or at reverse decoding
we use skb_iif as device interface index.

Steffen Klassert eeb1b73378 xfrm: Increase the garbage collector threshold
With the removal of the routing cache, we lost the
option to tweak the garbage collector threshold
along with the maximum routing cache size. So git
commit 703fb94ec ("xfrm: Fix the gc threshold value
for ipv4") moved back to a static threshold.

It turned out that the current threshold before we
start garbage collecting is much to small for some
workloads, so increase it from 1024 to 32768. This
means that we start the garbage collector if we have
more than 32768 dst entries in the system and refuse
new allocations if we are above 65536.

David S. Miller 6700c2709c net: Pass optional SKB and SK arguments to dst_ops->{update_pmtu,redirect}()
This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key.

Even though we have a route in this context, we need more.  In the
future the routes will be without destination address, source address,
etc. keying.  One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc.

In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
for redirects and PMTU information.  This persistent storage will exist
in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
full lookup flow key here.  Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
and create/update the persistent entry.

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.

__xfrm_lookup() is called for each packet transmitted out of
system. The xfrm_find_bundle() does a linear search which can
kill system performance depending on how many bundles are
required per policy.

This modifies __xfrm_lookup() to store bundles directly in
the flow cache. If we did not get a hit, we just create a new
bundle instead of doing slow search. This means that we can now
get multiple xfrm_dst's for same flow (on per-cpu basis).

Eric W. Biederman f8572d8f2a sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl code
Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys
all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy
entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be
revmoed.

In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer
take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not
to pass one.

David S. Miller db71789c01 xfrm6: Fix xfrm6_policy.c build when SYSCTL disabled.
Same as how Randy Dunlap fixed the ipv4 side of things.

Neil Horman a33bc5c151 xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh
Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init

Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values
(set to 1024).  Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized
dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical.
This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on
the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that
we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as
the routing table can.

For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash
buckets in the route cache.  Given that xfrm4 starts garbage
collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 *
gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size.

For ipv6, its a bit trickier.  there is no maximum route cache size,
but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024.  It seems
sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half
the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4
code does).

Neil Horman a44a4a006b xfrm: export xfrm garbage collector thresholds via sysctl
Export garbage collector thresholds for xfrm[4|6]_dst_ops

Had a problem reported to me recently in which a high volume of ipsec
connections on a system began reporting ENOBUFS for new connections
eventually.

It seemed that after about 2000 connections we started being unable to
create more.  A quick look revealed that the xfrm code used a dst_ops
structure that limited the gc_thresh value to 1024, and always
dropped route cache entries after 2x the gc_thresh.

It seems the most direct solution is to export the gc_thresh values in
the xfrm[4|6] dst_ops as sysctls, like the main routing table does, so
that higher volumes of connections can be supported.  This patch has
been tested and allows the reporter to increase their ipsec connection
volume successfully.

Wei Yongjun 59cae0092e xfrm6: fix the proto and ports decode of sctp protocol
The SCTP pushed the skb above the sctp chunk header, so the
check of pskb_may_pull(skb, nh + offset + 1 - skb->data) in
_decode_session6() will never return 0 and the ports decode
of sctp will always fail. (nh + offset + 1 - skb->data < 0)
