This patch modifies nf_log to use a linked list of loggers for each
protocol. This list of loggers is read and write protected with a
mutex.
This patch separates registration and binding. To be used as
logging module, a module has to register calling nf_log_register()
and to bind to a protocol it has to call nf_log_bind_pf().
This patch also converts the logging modules to the new API. For nfnetlink_log,
it simply switchs call to register functions to call to bind function and
adds a call to nf_log_register() during init. For other modules, it just
remove a const flag from the logger structure and replace it with a
__read_mostly.

It seems that nothing that bad would happen as there's tcp_mems
and congestion window that prevent runaway at some point from
hurting all too much (I'm not that sure what all those zero

Preventing it regardless is certainly the best way to go.

There's very little need for most of the callsites to get

so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the
tp->xmit_goal_size are directly behind tcp_current_mss(),
so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock
at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit
hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to
change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16
xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining
divide to get that tso on regression).

Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing
address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927.
Here is quote of important information:
"
An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above,
except that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set
to the host's newly selected IPv4 address.
"
But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227.
"
The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid
polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case
where the address turns out to be already in use by another host.
"
When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because
it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just
causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so
just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip.

Linux TCP stack ignores this option and sends back a SYN+ACK packet

Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.
The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.
It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.
Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:
If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.
This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.
This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer
does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the
sequence number of a packet.
This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts
the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification
(though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible.
Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification
indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up.
Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which
incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and
conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data.
Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only
if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This
way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with
non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have
advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent
data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet.
The only potential downside is that applications on the remote
end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would
occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome
of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since
the signal itself does not carry any information other than the
fact that we're in urgent mode.

The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of
processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause
a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions:
1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use.
This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is
replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed
after RCU period.
2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values.
This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu
then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one
cpu. On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different
times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.

Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best. The fraginfo
interface turned out to be suboptimal. The problem was quite
obvious. For every packet, we have to copy the headers from
the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the
packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge.
LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers
from the frags structure.
This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface
that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without
having to copy it. Because all drivers that use frags place the
headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough.

tcp_splice_data_recv has two lengths to consider: the len parameter it
gets from tcp_read_sock, which specifies the amount of data in the skb,
and rd_desc->count, which is the amount of data the splice caller still
wants. Currently it passes just the latter to skb_splice_bits, which then
splices min(rd_desc->count, skb->len - offset) bytes.
Most of the time this is fine, except when the skb contains urgent data.
In that case len goes only up to the urgent byte and is less than
skb->len - offset. By ignoring len tcp_splice_data_recv may a) splice
data tcp_read_sock told it not to, b) return to tcp_read_sock a value > len.
Now, tcp_read_sock doesn't handle used > len and leaves the socket in a
bad state (both sk_receive_queue and copied_seq are bad at that point)
resulting in duplicated data and corruption.
Fix by passing min(rd_desc->count, len) to skb_splice_bits.

With simple extension to the binding mechanism, which allows to bind more
than 64k sockets (or smaller amount, depending on sysctl parameters),
we have to traverse the whole bind hash table to find out empty bucket.
And while it is not a problem for example for 32k connections, bind()
completion time grows exponentially (since after each successful binding
we have to traverse one bucket more to find empty one) even if we start
each time from random offset inside the hash table.
So, when hash table is full, and we want to add another socket, we have
to traverse the whole table no matter what, so effectivelly this will be
the worst case performance and it will be constant.
Attached picture shows bind() time depending on number of already bound
sockets.
Green area corresponds to the usual binding to zero port process, which
turns on kernel port selection as described above. Red area is the bind
process, when number of reuse-bound sockets is not limited by 64k (or
sysctl parameters). The same exponential growth (hidden by the green
area) before number of ports reaches sysctl limit.
At this time bind hash table has exactly one reuse-enbaled socket in a
bucket, but it is possible that they have different addresses. Actually
kernel selects the first port to try randomly, so at the beginning bind
will take roughly constant time, but with time number of port to check
after random start will increase. And that will have exponential growth,
but because of above random selection, not every next port selection
will necessary take longer time than previous. So we have to consider
the area below in the graph (if you could zoom it, you could find, that
there are many different times placed there), so area can hide another.
Blue area corresponds to the port selection optimization.
This is rather simple design approach: hashtable now maintains (unprecise
and racely updated) number of currently bound sockets, and when number
of such sockets becomes greater than predefined value (I use maximum
port range defined by sysctls), we stop traversing the whole bind hash
table and just stop at first matching bucket after random start. Above
limit roughly corresponds to the case, when bind hash table is full and
we turned on mechanism of allowing to bind more reuse-enabled sockets,
so it does not change behaviour of other sockets.

As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not
optimal. It processes at most one segment per call.
This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate
when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO.
Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix
is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so
that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less
often.
With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able
to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes
of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return
16*1460 = 23360 bytes.

Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine
modules from being removed. Once the clients are done re-enable module

Why?, beyond reducing complication:
1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as
is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line
bouncing effects.
2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a
dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or
dma-slave)
3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but
if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify
clients of remove events. The driver can simply return NULL to a
->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer
does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the
sequence number of a packet.
This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts
the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification
(though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible.
Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification
indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up.
Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which
incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and
conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data.
Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only
if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This
way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with
non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have
advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent
data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet.
The only potential downside is that applications on the remote
end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would
occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome
of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since
the signal itself does not carry any information other than the
fact that we're in urgent mode.

The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular,
we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for
the length, ID and checksum. In addition, the ID must form an
arithmetic sequence with a difference of one.
The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware
TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this
whether GSO is in use or not.
In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather

This patch addresses a book-keeping issue in tcp_vegas.c. At present
tcp_vegas does separate book-keeping of cwnd based on packet sequence
numbers. A mismatch can develop between this book-keeping and
tp->snd_cwnd due, for example, to delayed acks acking multiple
packets. When vegas transitions to reno operation (e.g. following
loss), then this mismatch leads to incorrect behaviour (akin to a cwnd
backoff). This seems mostly to affect operation at low cwnds where
delayed acking can lead to a significant fraction of cwnd being
covered by a single ack, leading to the book-keeping mismatch. This
patch modifies the congestion avoidance update to avoid the need for
separate book-keeping while leaving vegas congestion avoidance
functionally unchanged. A secondary advantage of this modification is
that the use of fixed-point (via V_PARAM_SHIFT) and 64 bit arithmetic
is no longer necessary, simplifying the code.
Some example test measurements with the patched code (confirming no functional
change in the congestion avoidance algorithm) can be seen at:

tcp_minshall_update is not significant difference since it only
checks for not full-sized skb which is BUG'ed on the push_one
path anyway.
tcp_snd_test is tcp_nagle_test+tcp_cwnd_test+tcp_snd_wnd_test,
just the order changed slightly.

There are just too many args to some sacktag functions. This
idea was first proposed by David S. Miller around a year ago,
and the current situation is much worse that what it was back
then.
tcp_sacktag_one can be made a bit simpler by returning the
new sacked (it can be achieved with a single variable though
the previous code "caching" sacked into a local variable and
therefore it is not exactly equal but the results will be the
same).

I noticed that since skb->len has nothing to do with actual segment
length with gso, we need to figure it out separately, reuse
a function from the recent shifting stuff (generalize it).

S|R won't result in S if just SACK is received. DSACK is
another story (but it is covered correctly already).

This patch fixes a bug in tcp_vegas.c. At the moment this code leaves
ssthresh untouched. However, this means that the vegas congestion
control algorithm is effectively unable to reduce cwnd below the
ssthresh value (if the vegas update lowers the cwnd below ssthresh,
then slow start is activated to raise it back up). One example where
this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link
capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value
above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

Today, iproute2 fails to show multicast forwarding unresolved cache
entries while scanning /proc/net/ip_mr_cache.
Indeed, it expects to see -1 in 'Iif' column to identify unresolved
entries but the kernel outputs 65535. It's a signed/unsigned issue:
'Iif', the source interface, is retrieved from member mfc_parent in
struct mfc_cache. mfc_parent is a vifi_t: unsigned short, but is
displayed in ipmr_mfc_seq_show() as "%-3d", signed integer.
In unresolevd entries, the 65535 value (0xFFFF) comes from this define:
#define ALL_VIFS ((vifi_t)(-1))
That may explains why the guy who added support for this in iproute2
thought a -1 should be expected.
I don't know if this must be fixed in kernel or in iproute2. Who is
right? What is the correct API? How was it designed originally?
I let you decide if it should goes in the kernel or be fixed in iproute2.

/proc/net/ip_mr_cache and /proc/net/ip6_mr_cache displays garbage when
showing unresolved mfc_cache entries.
[root@qemu tests]# cat /proc/net/ip_mr_cache
Group Origin Iif Pkts Bytes Wrong Oifs
014C00EF 010014AC 1 10 10050 0 2:1 3:1
024C00EF 010014AC 65535 514 2 -559067475
The first line is correct. It is a resolved cache entry, 10 packets used it...
The second line represents an unresolved entry, and the columns Pkts(4th),
Bytes(5th) and Wrong(6th) just show garbage.
In struct mfc_cache, there's an union to store data for resolved and
unresolved cases. And what ipmr_mfc_seq_show() is printing in these
columns for the unresolved entries is some bytes from mfc_cache.mfc_un.res.
Bad.
(eg. In our case -559067475 is in fact 0xdead4ead which is the spinlock
magic from mfc_cache.mfc_un.unres.unresolved.lock.magic).
This patch replaces the garbage data written in these columns for the
unresolved entries by '0' (zeros) which is more correct.
This change doesn't break the ABI.
Also, mfc->mfc_un.res.pkt, mfc->mfc_un.res.bytes, mfc->mfc_un.res.wrong_if
are unsigned long.
It applies on top of net-next-2.6.
The patch for net-2.6 is slightly different because of the NIP6_FMT to
%pI6 conversion that was made in the seq_printf.
Changelog:
==========
V2:
* Instead of breaking the ABI by suppressing the columns that have no
meaning for unresolved entries, fill them with 0 values.

I should have noticed this earlier... :-) The previous solution
to URG+GSO/TSO will cause SACK block tcp_fragment to do zig-zig
patterns, or even worse, a steep downward slope into packet
counting because each skb pcount would be truncated to pcount
of 2 and then the following fragments of the later portion would
restore the window again.
Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is
urgent data" (33cf71cee1). It also removes some unnecessary code
from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could
be that something was changed down the road, or it might have
been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once
urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from
~64k before the urg point.
The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so
only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have
a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check
can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc
already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.

Based upon a lockdep report by Alexey Dobriyan.
I checked all per_cpu_counter_xxx() usages in network tree, and I
think all call sites are BH enabled except one in
inet_csk_listen_stop().
commit dd24c00191
(net: Use a percpu_counter for orphan_count)
replaced atomic_t orphan_count to a percpu_counter.
atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() can be called from any context, while
percpu_counter_xxx() should be called from a consistent state.
For orphan_count, this context can be the BH-enabled one.
