Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Missing netlink attribute validation in nft_lookup, from Patrick
    McHardy.

 2) Restrict ipv6 partial checksum handling to UDP, since that's the
    only case it works for.  From Vlad Yasevich.

 3) Clear out silly device table sentinal macros used by SSB and BCMA
    drivers.  From Joe Perches.

 4) Make sure the remote checksum code never creates a situation where
    the remote checksum is applied yet the tunneling metadata describing
    the remote checksum transformation is still present.  Otherwise an
    external entity might see this and apply the checksum again.  From
    Tom Herbert.

 5) Use msecs_to_jiffies() where applicable, from Nicholas Mc Guire.

 6) Don't explicitly initialize timer struct fields, use setup_timer()
    and mod_timer() instead.  From Vaishali Thakkar.

 7) Don't invoke tg3_halt() without the tp->lock held, from Jun'ichi
    Nomura.

 8) Missing __percpu annotation in ipvlan driver, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Don't potentially perform skb_get() on shared skbs, also from Eric
    Dumazet.

10) Fix COW'ing of metrics for non-DST_HOST routes in ipv6, from Martin
    KaFai Lau.

11) Fix merge resolution error between the iov_iter changes in vhost and
    some bug fixes that occurred at the same time.  From Jason Wang.

12) If rtnl_configure_link() fails we have to perform a call to
    ->dellink() before unregistering the device.  From WANG Cong.

rtnetlink: call ->dellink on failure when ->newlink exists

2015-02-15T16:30:10+00:00

Ignacy reported that when eth0 is down and add a vlan device
on top of it like:

  ip link add link eth0 name eth0.1 up type vlan id 1

We will get a refcount leak:

  unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0.1 to become free. Usage count = 2

The problem is when rtnl_configure_link() fails in rtnl_newlink(),
we simply call unregister_device(), but for stacked device like vlan,
we almost do nothing when we unregister the upper device, more work
is done when we unregister the lower device, so call its ->dellink().

net: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including cpumasks and nodemasks

2015-02-14T05:21:38+00:00

printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'.  cpumask
and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args()
respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments
necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask.

net: Infrastructure for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with remote checsum offload

2015-02-11T23:12:12+00:00

This patch adds infrastructure so that remote checksum offload can
set CHECKSUM_PARTIAL instead of calling csum_partial and writing
the modfied checksum field.

Add skb_remcsum_adjust_partial function to set an skb for using
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with remote checksum offload.  Changed
skb_remcsum_process and skb_gro_remcsum_process to take a boolean
argument to indicate if checksum partial can be set or the
checksum needs to be modified using the normal algorithm.

net:rfs: adjust table size checking

Make sure root user does not try something stupid.

Also make sure mask field in struct rps_sock_flow_table

flow table.

net: rfs: add hash collision detection

2015-02-09T00:53:57+00:00

Receive Flow Steering is a nice solution but suffers from
hash collisions when a mix of connected and unconnected traffic
is received on the host, when flow hash table is populated.

Also, clearing flow in inet_release() makes RFS not very good
for short lived flows, as many packets can follow close().
(FIN , ACK packets, ...)

This patch extends the information stored into global hash table
to not only include cpu number, but upper part of the hash value.

I use a 32bit value, and dynamically split it in two parts.

For host with less than 64 possible cpus, this gives 6 bits for the
cpu number, and 26 (32-6) bits for the upper part of the hash.

Since hash bucket selection use low order bits of the hash, we have
a full hash match, if /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries is big
enough.

If the hash found in flow table does not match, we fallback to RPS (if
it is enabled for the rxqueue).

This means that a packet for an non connected flow can avoid the
IPI through a unrelated/victim CPU.

This also means we no longer have to clear the table at socket
close time, and this helps short lived flows performance.

net: use netif_rx_ni() from process context

2015-02-08T06:43:52+00:00

Hotpluging a cpu might be rare, yet we have to use proper
handlers when taking over packets found in backlog queues.

dev_cpu_callback() runs from process context, thus we should
call netif_rx_ni() to properly invoke softirq handler.
