Neil Horman b6280b47a7 ipv4 routing: Ensure that route cache entries are usable and reclaimable with caching is off
When route caching is disabled (rt_caching returns false), We still use route
cache entries that are created and passed into rt_intern_hash once.  These
routes need to be made usable for the one call path that holds a reference to
them, and they need to be reclaimed when they're finished with their use.  To be
made usable, they need to be associated with a neighbor table entry (which they
currently are not), otherwise iproute_finish2 just discards the packet, since we
don't know which L2 peer to send the packet to.  To do this binding, we need to
follow the path a bit higher up in rt_intern_hash, which calls
arp_bind_neighbour, but not assign the route entry to the hash table.
Currently, if caching is off, we simply assign the route to the rp pointer and
are reutrn success.  This patch associates us with a neighbor entry first.

Secondly, we need to make sure that any single use routes like this are known to
the garbage collector when caching is off.  If caching is off, and we try to
hash in a route, it will leak when its refcount reaches zero.  To avoid this,
this patch calls rt_free on the route cache entry passed into rt_intern_hash.
This places us on the gc list for the route cache garbage collector, so that
when its refcount reaches zero, it will be reclaimed (Thanks to Alexey for this
suggestion).

I've tested this on a local system here, and with these patches in place, I'm
able to maintain routed connectivity to remote systems, even if I set
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/rt_cache_rebuild_count to -1, which forces rt_caching to
return false.

Neil Horman 73e42897e8 ipv4: fix NULL pointer + success return in route lookup path
Don't drop route if we're not caching	

	I recently got a report of an oops on a route lookup.  Maxime was
testing what would happen if route caching was turned off (doing so by setting
making rt_caching always return 0), and found that it triggered an oops.  I
looked at it and found that the problem stemmed from the fact that the route
lookup routines were returning success from their lookup paths (which is good),
but never set the **rp pointer to anything (which is bad).  This happens because
in rt_intern_hash, if rt_caching returns false, we call rt_drop and return 0.
This almost emulates slient success.  What we should be doing is assigning *rp =
rt and _not_ dropping the route.  This way, during slow path lookups, when we
create a new route cache entry, we don't immediately discard it, rather we just
don't add it into the cache hash table, but we let this one lookup use it for
the purpose of this route request.  Maxime has tested and reports it prevents
the oops.  There is still a subsequent routing issue that I'm looking into
further, but I'm confident that, even if its related to this same path, this
patch makes sense to take.

Jarek Poplawski 7b85576d15 ipv4: Fix fib_trie rebalancing, part 2
My previous patch, which explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding
them to the list to flush them after the update is finished, isn't
strict enough. It treats exceptionally tnodes without parent, assuming
they are newly created, so "invisible" for the read side yet.

But the top tnode doesn't have parent as well, so we have to exclude
all exceptions (at least until a better way is found). Additionally we
need to move rcu assignment of this node before flushing, so the
return type of the trie_rebalance() function is changed.

Jarek Poplawski e0f7cb8c8c ipv4: Fix fib_trie rebalancing
While doing trie_rebalance(): resize(), inflate(), halve() RCU free
tnodes before updating their parents. It depends on RCU delaying the
real destruction, but if RCU readers start after call_rcu() and before
parent update they could access freed memory.

It is currently prevented with preempt_disable() on the update side,
but it's not safe, except maybe classic RCU, plus it conflicts with
memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL flag used from these functions.

This patch explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the
list, which is flushed after the update is finished.

Eric Dumazet 2b85a34e91 net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx
One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses
a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet.

This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path
also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different
cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these
two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces.

We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example),
where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles.

We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing
is delayed until all tx packets are completed.

As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc
by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called.
Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc)
to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets
are in flight.

skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore

sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc
reached 0 to perform the final freeing.

Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or
even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket.

Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s
on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt
contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends
on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.

After some discussion offline with Christoph Lameter and David Stevens
regarding multicast behaviour in Linux, I'm submitting a slightly
modified patch from the one Christoph submitted earlier.

This patch provides a new socket option IP_MULTICAST_ALL.

In this case, default behaviour is _unchanged_ from the current
Linux standard. The socket option is set by default to provide
original behaviour. Sockets wishing to receive data only from
multicast groups they join explicitly will need to clear this
socket option.

Ilpo Järvinen 2df9001edc tcp: fix loop in ofo handling code and reduce its complexity
Somewhat luckily, I was looking into these parts with very fine
comb because I've made somewhat similar changes on the same
area (conflicts that arose weren't that lucky though). The loop
was very much overengineered recently in commit 915219441d
(tcp: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it
by-hand), while it basically just wants to know if there are
skbs after 'skb'.

Also it got broken because skb1 = skb->next got translated into
skb1 = skb1->next (though abstracted) improperly. Note that
'skb1' is pointing to previous sk_buff than skb or NULL if at
head. Two things went wrong:
- We'll kfree 'skb' on the first iteration instead of the
  skbuff following 'skb' (it would require required SACK reneging
  to recover I think).
- The list head case where 'skb1' is NULL is checked too early
  and the loop won't execute whereas it previously did.

Conclusion, mostly revert the recent changes which makes the
cset very messy looking but using proper accessor in the
previous-like version.

The effective changes against the original can be viewed with:

Herbert Xu 30a3ae30c7 tcp: Optimise len/mss comparison
Instead of checking len > mss || len == 0, we can accomplish
both by checking (len - 1) > mss using the unsigned wraparound.
At nearly a million times a second, this might just help.

Robert Olsson 3ed18d76d9 ipv4: Fix oops with FIB_TRIE
It seems we can fix this by disabling preemption while we re-balance the 
trie. This is with the CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU. It's been stress-tested at high 
loads continuesly taking a full BGP table up/down via iproute -batch.

Note. fib_trie is not updated for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU

The netlink message header (struct nlmsghdr) is an unused parameter in
fill method of fib_rules_ops struct.  This patch removes this
parameter from this method and fixes the places where this method is
called.

Eric Dumazet 1ddbcb005c net: fix rtable leak in net/ipv4/route.c
Alexander V. Lukyanov found a regression in 2.6.29 and made a complete
analysis found in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13339
Quoted here because its a perfect one :

begin_of_quotation
 2.6.29 patch has introduced flexible route cache rebuilding. Unfortunately the
 patch has at least one critical flaw, and another problem.

 rt_intern_hash calculates rthi pointer, which is later used for new entry
 insertion. The same loop calculates cand pointer which is used to clean the
 list. If the pointers are the same, rtable leak occurs, as first the cand is
 removed then the new entry is appended to it.

 This leak leads to unregister_netdevice problem (usage count > 0).

 Another problem of the patch is that it tries to insert the entries in certain
 order, to facilitate counting of entries distinct by all but QoS parameters.
 Unfortunately, referencing an existing rtable entry moves it to list beginning,
 to speed up further lookups, so the carefully built order is destroyed.

 For the first problem the simplest patch it to set rthi=0 when rthi==cand, but
 it will also destroy the ordering.
end_of_quotation

Problematic commit is 1080d709fb
(net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceeded)

Trying to keep dst_entries ordered is too complex and breaks the fact that
order should depend on the frequency of use for garbage collection.

A possible fix is to make rt_intern_hash() simpler, and only makes
rt_check_expire() a litle bit smarter, being able to cope with an arbitrary
entries order. The added loop is running on cache hot data, while cpu
is prefetching next object, so should be unnoticied.

Eric Dumazet cf8da764fc net: fix length computation in rt_check_expire()
rt_check_expire() computes average and standard deviation of chain lengths,
but not correclty reset length to 0 at beginning of each chain.
This probably gives overflows for sum2 (and sum) on loaded machines instead
of meaningful results.

Chris Friesen 9643f45512 ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCP
The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU.  This can be useful
for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames.
This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option
correctly.

It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU,
but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise
necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

This patch was originally submitted to LKML in 2003 by Hans-Peter Jansen.

sysctls are unregistered with the rntl_lock held making
it unsafe to unconditionally grab the the rtnl_lock.  Instead
we need to call rtnl_trylock and restart the system call
if we can not grab it.  Otherwise we could deadlock at unregistration
time.
