DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.
It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.
Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.
The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

This adds a global netfilter function to extract a conntrack tuple from an
skb. The function uses a new function added to nf_ct_hook, which will try
to get the tuple from skb->_nfct, and do a full lookup if that fails. This
makes it possible to use the lookup function before the skb has passed
through the conntrack init hooks (e.g., in an ingress qdisc). The tuple is
copied to the caller to avoid issues with reference counting.
The function returns false if conntrack is not loaded, allowing it to be
used without incurring a module dependency on conntrack. This is used by
the NAT mode in sch_cake.

Also involved adding a way to run a netfilter hook over a list of packets.
Rather than attempting to make netfilter know about lists (which would be
a major project in itself) we just let it call the regular okfn (in this
case ip_rcv_finish()) for any packets it steals, and have it give us back
a list of packets it's synchronously accepted (which normally NF_HOOK
would automatically call okfn() on, but we want to be able to potentially
pass the list to a listified version of okfn().)
The netfilter hooks themselves are indirect calls that still happen per-
packet (see nf_hook_entry_hookfn()), but again, changing that can be left
for future work.
There is potential for out-of-order receives if the netfilter hook ends up
synchronously stealing packets, as they will be processed before any
accepts earlier in the list. However, it was already possible for an
asynchronous accept to cause out-of-order receives, so presumably this is
considered OK.

In nfqueue, two consecutive skbuffs may race to create the conntrack
entry. Hence, the one that loses the race gets dropped due to clash in
the insertion into the hashes from the nf_conntrack_confirm() path.
This patch adds a new nf_conntrack_update() function which searches for
possible clashes and resolve them. NAT mangling for the packet losing
race is corrected by using the conntrack information that won race.
In order to avoid direct module dependencies with conntrack and NAT, the
nf_ct_hook and nf_nat_hook structures are used for this purpose.

The netfilter NAT core cannot deal with more than one NAT hook per hook
location (prerouting, input ...), because the NAT hooks install a NAT null
binding in case the iptables nat table (iptable_nat hooks) or the
corresponding nftables chain (nft nat hooks) doesn't specify a nat
transformation.
Null bindings are needed to detect port collsisions between NAT-ed and
non-NAT-ed connections.
This causes nftables NAT rules to not work when iptable_nat module is
loaded, and vice versa because nat binding has already been attached
when the second nat hook is consulted.
The netfilter core is not really the correct location to handle this
(hooks are just hooks, the core has no notion of what kinds of side
effects a hook implements), but its the only place where we can check
for conflicts between both iptables hooks and nftables hooks without
adding dependencies.
So add nat annotation to hook_ops to describe those hooks that will
add NAT bindings and then make core reject if such a hook already exists.
The annotation fills a padding hole, in case further restrictions appar
we might change this to a 'u8 type' instead of bool.

Giuseppe Scrivano says:
"SELinux, if enabled, registers for each new network namespace 6
netfilter hooks."
Cost for this is high. With synchronize_net() removed:
"The net benefit on an SMP machine with two cores is that creating a
new network namespace takes -40% of the original time."
This patch replaces synchronize_net+kvfree with call_rcu().
We store rcu_head at the tail of a structure that has no fixed layout,
i.e. we cannot use offsetof() to compute the start of the original
allocation. Thus store this information right after the rcu head.
We could simplify this by just placing the rcu_head at the start
of struct nf_hook_entries. However, this structure is used in
packet processing hotpath, so only place what is needed for that
at the beginning of the struct.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
