Allan Stephens 9aa88c2a50 tipc: Enhance sending of bulk name table messages
Modifies the initial transfer of name table entries to a new neighboring
node so that the messages are enqueued as a unit, rather than individually.

The revised algorithm now locates the link carrying the message only once,
and eliminates unnecessary checks for link congestion, message fragmentation,
and message bundling that are not required when sending these messages.

Paul Gortmaker 1c553bb52e tipc: relocate/coalesce node cast in tipc_named_node_up
Functions like this are called using unsigned longs from
function pointers.  In this case, the function is passed in
a node which is normally internally treated as a u32 by TIPC.

Rather than add more casts into this function in the future
for each added use of node within, move the cast to a single
place on a local.

Allan Stephens 149ce37c8d tipc: Prevent fragmented messages during initial name table exchange
Reduces the maximum size of messages sent during the initial exchange
of name table information between two nodes to be no larger than the
MTU of the first link established between the nodes. This ensures that
messages will never need to be fragmented, which would add unnecessary
overhead to the name table synchronization mechanism.

Allan Stephens 909234cdd2 tipc: Lower limits for number of bearers and media types
Reduces the number of bearers a node can support to 2, which can use
identical or non-identical media. This change won't impact users,
since they are currently limited to a maximum of 2 Ethernet bearers,
and will save memory by eliminating a number of unused entries in
TIPC's media and bearer arrays.

Allan Stephens b4b5610223 tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them
Enhances TIPC to ensure that a node that loses contact with a
neighboring node does not allow contact to be re-established until
it sees that its peer has also recognized the loss of contact.

Previously, nodes that were connected by two or more links could
encounter a situation in which node A would lose contact with node B
on all of its links, purge its name table of names published by B,
and then fail to repopulate those names once contact with B was restored.
This would happen because B was able to re-establish one or more links
so quickly that it never reached a point where it had no links to A --
meaning that B never saw a loss of contact with A, and consequently
didn't re-publish its names to A.

This problem is now prevented by enhancing the cleanup done by TIPC
following a loss of contact with a neighboring node to ensure that
node A ignores all messages sent by B until it receives a LINK_PROTOCOL
message that indicates B has lost contact with A, thereby preventing
the (re)establishment of links between the nodes. The loss of contact
is recognized when a RESET or ACTIVATE message is received that has
a "redundant link exists" field of 0, indicating that B's sending link
endpoint is in a reset state and that B has no other working links.

Additionally, TIPC now suppresses the sending of (most) link protocol
messages to a neighboring node while it is cleaning up after an earlier
loss of contact with that node. This stops the peer node from prematurely
activating its link endpoint, which would prevent TIPC from later
activating its own end. TIPC still allows outgoing RESET messages to
occur during cleanup, to avoid problems if its own node recognizes
the loss of contact first and tries to notify the peer of the situation.

Finally, TIPC now recognizes an impending loss of contact with a peer node
as soon as it receives a RESET message on a working link that is the
peer's only link to the node, and ensures that the link protocol
suppression mentioned above goes into effect right away -- that is,
even before its own link endpoints have failed. This is necessary to
ensure correct operation when there are redundant links between the nodes,
since otherwise TIPC would send an ACTIVATE message upon receiving a RESET
on its first link and only begin suppressing when a RESET on its second
link was received, instead of initiating suppression with the first RESET
message as it needs to.

Note: The reworked cleanup code also eliminates a check that prevented
a link endpoint's discovery object from responding to incoming messages
while stale name table entries are being purged. This check is now
unnecessary and would have slowed down re-establishment of communication
between the nodes in some situations.

Yan, Zheng 8e2ec63917 ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.
Current IPv6 implementation uses inetpeer to store metrics for
routes. The problem of inetpeer is that it doesn't take subnet
prefix length in to consideration. If two routes have the same
address but different prefix length, they share same inetpeer.
So changing metrics of one route also affects the other. The
fix is to allocate separate metrics storage for each route.

 - Hold bnad->bna_lock while setting / unsetting rx_info->rx in bnad_setup_rx()

Nicholas Bellinger 40b054970a iscsi-target: Fix sendpage breakage with proper padding+DataDigest iovec offsets
This patch fixes a bug in the iscsit_fe_sendpage_sg() transmit codepath that
was originally introduced with the v3.1 iscsi-target merge that incorrectly
uses hardcoded cmd->iov_data_count values to determine cmd->iov_data[] offsets
for extra outgoing padding and DataDigest payload vectors.

This code is obviously incorrect for the DataDigest enabled case with sendpage
offload, and this fix ensures correct operation for padding + DataDigest,
padding only, and DataDigest only cases.  The bug was introduced during a
pre-merge change in iscsit_fe_sendpage_sg() to natively use struct scatterlist
instead of the legacy v3.0 struct se_mem logic.

Tore Anderson 026359bc6e ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are accepted
This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router
Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is
accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is
not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the
"accept_ra" sysctl is used.

The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode
("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard
Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was
that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl
documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore
been removed.

Rationale for the change:

Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining
whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent,
otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the
following cases:

* accept_ra=0, forwarding=0
* accept_ra=0, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=1, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=2, forwarding=1

In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will
not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send
any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most
routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in
the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.)

Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS
sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being
accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect
to be the case.

dpward aa1c366e4f net: Handle different key sizes between address families in flow cache
With the conversion of struct flowi to a union of AF-specific structs, some
operations on the flow cache need to account for the exact size of the key.

Eric Dumazet 4fb66b8210 caif: fix a potential NULL dereference
Commit bd30ce4bc0 (caif: Use RCU instead of spin-lock in caif_dev.c)
added a potential NULL dereference in case alloc_percpu() fails.

caif_device_alloc() can also use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC.
