Add an RCU replaceable address list structure to hold a list of server
addresses. The list also holds the
To this end:
(1) A cell's VL server address list can be loaded directly via insmod or
echo to /proc/fs/afs/cells or dynamically from a DNS query for AFSDB
or SRV records.
(2) Anyone wanting to use a cell's VL server address must wait until the
cell record comes online and has tried to obtain some addresses.
(3) An FS server's address list, for the moment, has a single entry that
is the key to the server list. This will change in the future when a
server is instead keyed on its UUID and the VL.GetAddrsU operation is
used.
(4) An 'address cursor' concept is introduced to handle iteration through
the address list. This is passed to the afs_make_call() as, in the
future, stuff (such as abort code) that doesn't outlast the call will
be returned in it.
In the future, we might want to annotate the list with information about
how each address fares. We might then want to propagate such annotations
over address list replacement.
Whilst we're at it, we allow IPv6 addresses to be specified in
colon-delimited lists by enclosing them in square brackets.

Overhaul the way that the in-kernel AFS client keeps track of cells in the
following manner:
(1) Cells are now held in an rbtree to make walking them quicker and RCU
managed (though this is probably overkill).
(2) Cells now have a manager work item that:
(A) Looks after fetching and refreshing the VL server list.
(B) Manages cell record lifetime, including initialising and
destruction.
(B) Manages cell record caching whereby threads are kept around for a
certain time after last use and then destroyed.
(C) Manages the FS-Cache index cookie for a cell. It is not permitted
for a cookie to be in use twice, so we have to be careful to not
allow a new cell record to exist at the same time as an old record
of the same name.
(3) Each AFS network namespace is given a manager work item that manages
the cells within it, maintaining a single timer to prod cells into
updating their DNS records.
This uses the reduce_timer() facility to make the timer expire at the
soonest timed event that needs happening.
(4) When a module is being unloaded, cells and cell managers are now
counted out using dec_after_work() to make sure the module text is
pinned until after the data structures have been cleaned up.
(5) Each cell's VL server list is now protected by a seqlock rather than a
semaphore.

Overhaul permit caching in AFS by making it per-vnode and sharing permit
lists where possible.
When most of the fileserver operations are called, they return a status
structure indicating the (revised) details of the vnode or vnodes involved
in the operation. This includes the access mark derived from the ACL
(named CallerAccess in the protocol definition file). This is cacheable
and if the ACL changes, the server will tell us that it is breaking the
callback promise, at which point we can discard the currently cached
permits.
With this patch, the afs_permits structure has, at the end, an array of
{ key, CallerAccess } elements, sorted by key pointer. This is then cached
in a hash table so that it can be shared between vnodes with the same
access permits.
Permit lists can only be shared if they contain the exact same set of
key->CallerAccess mappings.
Note that that table is global rather than being per-net_ns. If the keys
in a permit list cross net_ns boundaries, there is no problem sharing the
cached permits, since the permits are just integer masks.
Since permit lists pin keys, the permit cache also makes it easier for a
future patch to find all occurrences of a key and remove them by means of
setting the afs_permits::invalidated flag and then clearing the appropriate
key pointer. In such an event, memory barriers will need adding.
Lastly, the permit caching is skipped if the server has sent either a
vnode-specific or an entire-server callback since the start of the
operation.

Overhaul the AFS callback handling by the following means:
(1) Don't give up callback promises on vnodes that we are no longer using,
rather let them just expire on the server or let the server break
them. This is actually more efficient for the server as the callback
lookup is expensive if there are lots of extant callbacks.
(2) Only give up the callback promises we have from a server when the
server record is destroyed. Then we can just give up *all* the
callback promises on it in one go.
(3) Servers can end up being shared between cells if cells are aliased, so
don't add all the vnodes being backed by a particular server into a
big FID-indexed tree on that server as there may be duplicates.
Instead have each volume instance (~= superblock) register an interest
in a server as it starts to make use of it and use this to allow the
processor for callbacks from the server to find the superblock and
thence the inode corresponding to the FID being broken by means of
ilookup_nowait().
(4) Rather than iterating over the entire callback list when a mass-break
comes in from the server, maintain a counter of mass-breaks in
afs_server (cb_seq) and make afs_validate() check it against the copy
in afs_vnode.
It would be nice not to have to take a read_lock whilst doing this,
but that's tricky without using RCU.
(5) Save a ref on the fileserver we're using for a call in the afs_call
struct so that we can access its cb_s_break during call decoding.
(6) Write-lock around callback and status storage in a vnode and read-lock
around getattr so that we don't see the status mid-update.
This has the following consequences:
(1) Data invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate() on a
vnode. Unfortunately, we need to use a key to query the server, but
getting one from a background thread is tricky without caching loads
of keys all over the place.
(2) Mass invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate().
(3) Callback breaking is going to hit the inode_hash_lock quite a bit.
Could this be replaced with rcu_read_lock() since inodes are destroyed
under RCU conditions.

Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces (netns) to the AFS
filesystem by moving various global features to a network-namespace struct
(afs_net) and providing an instance of this as a temporary global variable
that everything uses via accessor functions for the moment.
The following changes have been made:
(1) Store the netns in the superblock info. This will be obtained from
the mounter's nsproxy on a manual mount and inherited from the parent
superblock on an automount.
(2) The cell list is made per-netns. It can be viewed through
/proc/net/afs/cells and also be modified by writing commands to that
file.
(3) The local workstation cell is set per-ns in /proc/net/afs/rootcell.
This is unset by default.
(4) The 'rootcell' module parameter, which sets a cell and VL server list
modifies the init net namespace, thereby allowing an AFS root fs to be
theoretically used.
(5) The volume location lists and the file lock manager are made
per-netns.
(6) The AF_RXRPC socket and associated I/O bits are made per-ns.
The various workqueues remain global for the moment.
Changes still to be made:
(1) /proc/fs/afs/ should be moved to /proc/net/afs/ and a symlink emplaced
from the old name.
(2) A per-netns subsys needs to be registered for AFS into which it can
store its per-netns data.
(3) Rather than the AF_RXRPC socket being opened on module init, it needs
to be opened on the creation of a superblock in that netns.
(4) The socket needs to be closed when the last superblock using it is
destroyed and all outstanding client calls on it have been completed.
This prevents a reference loop on the namespace.
(5) It is possible that several namespaces will want to use AFS, in which
case each one will need its own UDP port. These can either be set
through /proc/net/afs/cm_port or the kernel can pick one at random.
The init_ns gets 7001 by default.
Other issues that need resolving:
(1) The DNS keyring needs net-namespacing.
(2) Where do upcalls go (eg. DNS request-key upcall)?
(3) Need something like open_socket_in_file_ns() syscall so that AFS
command line tools attempting to operate on an AFS file/volume have
their RPC calls go to the right place.

net: improve the process of redirect and toobig for ipv6 tunnels
Now let's say there are 3 kinds of icmp packets to process for tunnels,
toobig(needfrag), redirect, others, their process should be:
- toobig(needfrag)
update the lower dst's pmtu by route cache, also update sk dst's pmtu
if possible, or it will be fine if sk dst pmtu will get updated on tx
path.
- redirect
update the lower dst's gw by route cache and return, no need to send
this redirect packet to user sk.
- others
send the packet to user's sk, or it will also be fine to use err_count
to count it and report fail link on tx path.
All ipv4 tunnels basically follow this while some of ipv6 tunnels are
doing in different ways, like ip6gre and ip6_tunnels update tnl dev's
mtu instead of updating lower dst pmtu, no redirect process on their
err_handlers, which doesn't make any sense and even causes performance
problems.

Now ip6gre processes toobig icmp packet by setting gre dev's mtu in

- It couldn't set mtu with dev_set_mtu due to it's not in user context,
which causes route cache and idev->cnf.mtu6 not to be updated.
- It has to update sk dst pmtu in tx path according to gredev->mtu for
ip6gre, while it updates pmtu again according to lower dst pmtu in
ip6_tnl_xmit.
- To change dev->mtu by toobig icmp packet is not a good idea, it should
only work on pmtu.
This patch is to process toobig by updating the lower dst's pmtu, as later
sk dst pmtu will be updated in ip6_tnl_xmit, the same way as in ip4gre.

The way people generally use netlink_dump is that they fill in the skb
as much as possible, breaking when nla_put returns an error. Then, they
get called again and start filling out the next skb, and again, and so
forth. The mechanism at work here is the ability for the iterative
dumping function to detect when the skb is filled up and not fill it
past the brim, waiting for a fresh skb for the rest of the data.
However, if the attributes are small and nicely packed, it is possible
that a dump callback function successfully fills in attributes until the
skb is of size 4080 (libmnl's default page-sized receive buffer size).
The dump function completes, satisfied, and then, if it happens to be
that this is actually the last skb, and no further ones are to be sent,
then netlink_dump will add on the NLMSG_DONE part:
nlh = nlmsg_put_answer(skb, cb, NLMSG_DONE, sizeof(len), NLM_F_MULTI);
It is very important that netlink_dump does this, of course. However, in
this example, that call to nlmsg_put_answer will fail, because the
previous filling by the dump function did not leave it enough room. And
how could it possibly have done so? All of the nla_put variety of
functions simply check to see if the skb has enough tailroom,
independent of the context it is in.
In order to keep the important assumptions of all netlink dump users, it
is therefore important to give them an skb that has this end part of the
tail already reserved, so that the call to nlmsg_put_answer does not
fail. Otherwise, library authors are forced to find some bizarre sized
receive buffer that has a large modulo relative to the common sizes of
messages received, which is ugly and buggy.
This patch thus saves the NLMSG_DONE for an additional message, for the
case that things are dangerously close to the brim. This requires
keeping track of the errno from ->dump() across calls.

parameters of netem. Some amount of inherent latency must be specified,
regardless.
The new "slot" parameter specifies a minimum and maximum delay between
transmission attempts.
The "bytes" and "packets" parameters can be used to limit the amount of
information transferred per slot.
Examples of use:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 200us \
slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42
A more correct example, using stacked netem instances and a packet limit
to emulate a tail drop wifi queue with slots and variable packet
delivery, with a 200Mbit isochronous underlying rate, and 20ms path
delay:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 20ms rate 200mbit \
limit 10000
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10:1 netem delay 200us \
slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42 limit 512

netem userspace has long relied on a horrible /proc/net/psched hack
to translate the current notion of "ticks" to nanoseconds.
Expressing latency and jitter instead, in well defined nanoseconds,
increases the dynamic range of emulated delays and jitter in netem.
It will also ease a transition where reducing a tick to nsec
equivalence would constrain the max delay in prior versions of
netem to only 4.3 seconds.

Upgrade the internal netem scheduler to use nanoseconds rather than
ticks throughout.
Convert to and from the std "ticks" userspace api automatically,
while allowing for finer grained scheduling to take place.

Avoid traversing the list of mr6_tables (which requires the
rtnl_lock) in ip6mr_sk_done(), when we know in advance that
a match will not be found.
This can happen when rawv6_close()/ip6mr_sk_done() is invoked
on non-mroute6 sockets.
This patch helps reduce rtnl_lock contention when destroying
a large number of net namespaces, each having a non-mroute6
raw socket.
v2: same patch, only fixed subject line and expanded comment.

The variable giga_ctrl is being assigned to zero however this is
never read and hence the assignment is redundant, so remove it.
Cleans up clang warning:
drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c:1978:3: warning: Value stored
to 'giga_ctrl' is never read
