Dave Miller &lt;davem@davemloft.net&gt; provided a detailed description of
why the way IPoIB is using neighbours for its own ipoib_neigh struct
is buggy:

    Any time an ipoib_neigh is changed, a sequence like the following is made:

    			spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;priv-&gt;lock, flags);
    			/*
    			 * It's safe to call ipoib_put_ah() inside
    			 * priv-&gt;lock here, because we know that
    			 * path-&gt;ah will always hold one more reference,
    			 * so ipoib_put_ah() will never do more than
    			 * decrement the ref count.
    			 */
    			if (neigh-&gt;ah)
    				ipoib_put_ah(neigh-&gt;ah);
    			list_del(&amp;neigh-&gt;list);
    			ipoib_neigh_free(dev, neigh);
    			spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;priv-&gt;lock, flags);
    			ipoib_path_lookup(skb, n, dev);

    This doesn't work, because you're leaving a stale pointer to the freed up
    ipoib_neigh in the special neigh-&gt;ha pointer cookie.  Yes, it even fails
    with all the locking done to protect _changes_ to *ipoib_neigh(n), and
    with the code in ipoib_neigh_free() that NULLs out the pointer.

    The core issue is that read side calls to *to_ipoib_neigh(n) are not
    being synchronized at all, they are performed without any locking.  So
    whether we hold the lock or not when making changes to *ipoib_neigh(n)
    you still can have threads see references to freed up ipoib_neigh
    objects.

    	cpu 1			cpu 2
    	n = *ipoib_neigh()
    				*ipoib_neigh() = NULL
    				kfree(n)
    	n-&gt;foo == OOPS

    [..]

    Perhaps the ipoib code can have a private path database it manages
    entirely itself, which holds all the necessary information and is
    looked up by some generic key which is available easily at transmit
    time and does not involve generic neighbour entries.

See &lt;http://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&amp;m=132812793105624&amp;w=2&gt; and
&lt;http://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&amp;w=2&amp;r=1&amp;s=allows+references+to+freed+memory&amp;q=b&gt;
for the full discussion.

This patch aims to solve the race conditions found in the IPoIB driver.

The patch removes the connection between the core networking neighbour
structure and the ipoib_neigh structure.  In addition to avoiding the
race described above, it allows us to handle SKBs carrying IP packets
that don't have any associated neighbour.

We add an ipoib_neigh hash table with N buckets where the key is the
destination hardware address.  The ipoib_neigh is fetched from the
hash table and instead of the stashed location in the neighbour
structure. The hash table uses both RCU and reference counting to
guarantee that no ipoib_neigh instance is ever deleted while in use.

Fetching the ipoib_neigh structure instance from the hash also makes
the special code in ipoib_start_xmit that handles remote and local
bonding failover redundant.

Aged ipoib_neigh instances are deleted by a garbage collection task
that runs every M seconds and deletes every ipoib_neigh instance that
was idle for at least 2*M seconds. The deletion is safe since the
ipoib_neigh instances are protected using RCU and reference count
mechanisms.

The number of buckets (N) and frequency of running the GC thread (M),
are taken from the exported arb_tbl.

Commit 36a8f01cd24b ("IB/qib: Add congestion control agent
implementation") tries to store the value 1984 in a u8, which leads to
truncation.  Fix this by making the member big enough.

This bug was detected by a smatch warning.

Pull networking changes from David S Miller:

 1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache.  Now lookups go directly into the FIB
    trie and use prebuilt routes cached there.

    No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing
    cache.  Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance,
    no matter what the pattern of traffic we service.

    This has been almost 2 years in the making.  Special thanks to
    Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who
    have helped along the way.

    I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some
    kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this
    point.  Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to
    fix things :-)

    The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced
    merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description
    of the motivations and implementation issues.

 2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on
    input.

 3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet.

 4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao
    Feng.

 5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from
    Yuval Mintz.

 6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet.

 7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo
    Neira Ayuso.

 8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver,
    from Jiri Pirko.

 9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with
    embedded gotos.

10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued
    up in the packet scheduler layer.  Whereas the existing BQL (Byte
    Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --&gt; netdevice queuing levels,
    this controls the TCP --&gt; pkt_sched queueing levels.

    From Eric Dumazet.

11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments,
    from Alexander Duyck.

12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from
    Eric Dumazet.

13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to
    send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng.

    Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using
    MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up
    fastopen data.

14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events
    hit a locked socket.  The TCP Small Queues changes added a
    tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the
    release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too.  From Eric
    Dumazet.

15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S. Tsirkin.

    merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description
    of the motivations and implementation issues.

 2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on
    input.

 3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet.

 4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao
    Feng.

 5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from
    Yuval Mintz.

 6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet.

 7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo
    Neira Ayuso.

 8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver,
    from Jiri Pirko.

 9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with
    embedded gotos.

10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued
    up in the packet scheduler layer.  Whereas the existing BQL (Byte
    Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --&gt; netdevice queuing levels,
    this controls the TCP --&gt; pkt_sched queueing levels.

    From Eric Dumazet.

11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments,
    from Alexander Duyck.

12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from
    Eric Dumazet.

13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to
    send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng.

    Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using
    MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up
    fastopen data.

14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events
    hit a locked socket.  The TCP Small Queues changes added a
    tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the
    release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too.  From Eric
    Dumazet.

15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S. Tsirkin.

Pull target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "There have been lots of work in a number of areas this past round.
  The highlights include:

   - Break out target_core_cdb.c emulation into SPC/SBC ops (hch)
   - Add a parse_cdb method to target backend drivers (hch)
   - Move sync_cache + write_same + unmap into spc_ops (hch)
   - Use target_execute_cmd for WRITEs in iscsi_target + srpt (hch)
   - Offload WRITE I/O backend submission in tcm_qla2xxx + tcm_fc (hch +
