Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
trickeled in.
Highlights:
1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().
Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.
Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
commit 0a4db187a9 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")
From Eliezer Tamir.
2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
Eric Dumazet.
3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.
4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
Pavel Emelyanov.
5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
Rony Efraim.
6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.
7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.
8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
from Cong Wang.
9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
support receiving on multiple UDP ports.
10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
Borkmann.
11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.
12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
From Daniel Borkmann.
13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
from Johannes Berg.
14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.
15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
Cheng.
16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
Horman.
17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle
network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri
Pirko and Timo Teräs.
18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
Huewe.
19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet.
20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.
21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.
22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From
Willem de Bruijn.
23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
Dumazet.
24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also
from Eric Dumazet.
25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
from Vlad Yasevich.
26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.
27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
too, from David Majnemer.
28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.
29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa.
30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer changes contain:
- posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases
- sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
duplication by other architectures
- alarm timer updates
- clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities
- clocksource/events support for new hardware
- precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)
- generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities
- the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place
The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of
trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
tree merge dependencies.
The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
fixes plus the posix timer lot. The latter was in akpms queue and
next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
collected them last minute."

Add some initial basic tests on a few posix timers interface such as
setitimer() and timer_settime().
These simply check that expiration happens in a reasonable timeframe after
expected elapsed clock time (user time, user + system time, real time,
...).
This is helpful for finding basic breakages while hacking
on this subsystem.

Changes:
v3->v2: rebase (no other changes)
passes selftest
v2->v1: read f->num_members only once
fix bug: test rollover mode + flag
Minimize packet drop in a fanout group. If one socket is full,
roll over packets to another from the group. Maintain flow
affinity during normal load using an rxhash fanout policy, while
dispersing unexpected traffic storms that hit a single cpu, such
as spoofed-source DoS flows. Rollover breaks affinity for flows
arriving at saturated sockets during those conditions.
The patch adds a fanout policy ROLLOVER that rotates between sockets,
filling each socket before moving to the next. It also adds a fanout
flag ROLLOVER. If passed along with any other fanout policy, the
primary policy is applied until the chosen socket is full. Then,
rollover selects another socket, to delay packet drop until the
entire system is saturated.
Probing sockets is not free. Selecting the last used socket, as
rollover does, is a greedy approach that maximizes chance of
success, at the cost of extreme load imbalance. In practice, with
sufficiently long queues to absorb bursts, sockets are drained in
parallel and load balance looks uniform in `top`.
To avoid contention, scales counters with number of sockets and
accesses them lockfree. Values are bounds checked to ensure
correctness.
Tested using an application with 9 threads pinned to CPUs, one socket
per thread and sufficient busywork per packet operation to limits each
thread to handling 32 Kpps. When sent 500 Kpps single UDP stream
packets, a FANOUT_CPU setup processes 32 Kpps in total without this
patch, 270 Kpps with the patch. Tested with read() and with a packet
ring (V1).
Also, passes psock_fanout.c unit test added to selftests.

Stricter validation was introduced with commit da27a24383
("efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive") and commit
47f531e8ba ("efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively"),
which is necessary for the guid portion of efivarfs filenames, but we
don't need to be so strict with the first part, the variable name. The
UEFI specification doesn't impose any constraints on variable names
other than they be a NULL-terminated string.
The above commits caused a regression that resulted in users seeing
the following message,
$ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory
whenever pstore EFI variables were present in the variable store,
since their variable names failed to pass the following check,
/* GUID should be right after the first '-' */
if (s - 1 != strchr(str, '-'))
as a typical pstore filename is of the form, dump-type0-10-1-<guid>.
The fix is trivial since the guid portion of the filename is GUID_LEN
bytes, we can use (len - GUID_LEN) to ensure the '-' character is
where we expect it to be.
(The bogus ENOMEM error value will be fixed in a separate patch.)

Revert commit 03a7beb55b ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a
self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael
Kerrisk, copied below.
We'll revisit this for 3.8.
: I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and
: done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program
: tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...)
:
: There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange,
: so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than
: that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be
: correctly documented.
:
: Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following
: scenario in a multithreaded application:
:
: 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations,
: and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information
: corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by
: epoll_wait().
:
: 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
: a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and
: delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache.
:
: 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have
: previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information
: about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using
: information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus,
: there is a potential race.
:
: 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing
: so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait()
: call, which would of course blow thread concurrency.
:
: Right?
:
: Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to
: confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since
: the description that has accompanied the patches so far
: has been a bit sparse
:
: 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file
: descriptor means (safely) doing the following:
: (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list
: using EPOLL_CTL_DEL
: (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache
:
: 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in
: conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in
: conjunction is a logical error.
:
: 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using
: EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows:
:
: a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should
: should EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it
: should do the following:
:
: [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely
: deleted by the thread that made this call.
: [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY,
: then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling
: thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to
: indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor
: should perform the deletion operation.
:
: Is all of the above correct?
:
: The implementation depends on checking on whether
: (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0
: This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always
: set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT
: causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be
: cleared.
:
: A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE
: is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things
: stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does
: not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following
: (slightly surprising) behavior:
:
: (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0
: (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted).
: (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY.
:
: This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an
: indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using
: epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which
: EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it
: not make sense to return an error to user space for this case?

Latest Linus head run of "make selftests" in the tools directory failed
with references to undefined variables. Reference was to
'write_thread_data' which is the name of a struct that is being used, not
the variable itself. Change reference so it points to the variable.

Enhanced epoll_ctl to support EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, which disables an epoll
item. If epoll_ctl doesn't return -EBUSY in this case, it is then safe to
delete the epoll item in a multi-threaded environment. Also added a new
test_epoll self- test app to both demonstrate the need for this feature
and test it.

While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are
shared between tasks and restore this state.
The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the
unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.
One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.
Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.
It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of
comparison of files) two file descriptors.
Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only.
At moment only x86 is supported and tested.
