Adding addresses and ports to the short packet log message,
like ipv4/udp.c does it, makes these messages a lot more useful:
[ 822.182450] UDPv6: short packet: From [2001:db8:ffb4:3::1]:47839 23715/178 to [2001:db8:ffb4:3:5054:ff:feff:200]:1234
This requires us to drop logging in case pskb_may_pull() fails,
which also is consistent with ipv4/udp.c

We dereference "sk" unconditionally elsewhere in the function.
This was left over from: b30bd282 "ip6_xmit: remove unnecessary NULL
ptr check". According to that commit message, "the sk argument to
ip6_xmit is never NULL nowadays since the skb->priority assigment
expects a valid socket."

When queueing a skb to socket, we can immediately release its dst if
target socket do not use IP_CMSG_PKTINFO.
tcp_data_queue() can drop dst too.
This to benefit from a hot cache line and avoid the receiver, possibly
on another cpu, to dirty this cache line himself.

Since commit 95766fff ([UDP]: Add memory accounting.),
each received packet needs one extra sock_lock()/sock_release() pair.
This added latency because of possible backlog handling. Then later,
ticket spinlocks added yet another latency source in case of DDOS.
This patch introduces lock_sock_bh() and unlock_sock_bh()
synchronization primitives, avoiding one atomic operation and backlog
processing.
skb_free_datagram_locked() uses them instead of full blown
lock_sock()/release_sock(). skb is orphaned inside locked section for
proper socket memory reclaim, and finally freed outside of it.
UDP receive path now take the socket spinlock only once.

This reverts two commits:
fda48a0d7a8412cedacda46a9c0bf8ef9cd13559
tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound
and a follow-on fix for it:
6443bb1fc2050ca2b6585a3fa77f7833b55329ed
ipv6: Fix inet6_csk_bind_conflict()
It causes problems with binding listening sockets when time-wait
sockets from a previous instance still are alive.
It's too late to keep fiddling with this so late in the -rc
series, and we'll deal with it in net-next-2.6 instead.

Current socket backlog limit is not enough to really stop DDOS attacks,
because user thread spend many time to process a full backlog each
round, and user might crazy spin on socket lock.
We should add backlog size and receive_queue size (aka rmem_alloc) to
pace writers, and let user run without being slow down too much.
Introduce a sk_rcvqueues_full() helper, to avoid taking socket lock in
stress situations.
Under huge stress from a multiqueue/RPS enabled NIC, a single flow udp
receiver can now process ~200.000 pps (instead of ~100 pps before the
patch) on a 8 core machine.

Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to
be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family
without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.
This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
without breaking compatibility.
This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
above that may be used arbitrarily.

Commit fda48a0d7a84 (tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound)
introduced a bug on IPV6 part.
We should not call ipv6_addr_any(inet6_rcv_saddr(sk2)) but
ipv6_addr_any(inet6_rcv_saddr(sk)) because sk2 can be IPV4, while sk is
IPV6.

sockets is under a threshold (typically 30000).
When this threshold is over, we must check if there is a conflict before
exiting first loop in inet_csk_get_port()

This patch adds IPv6 support for RFC5082 Generalized TTL Security Mechanism.
Not to users of mapped address; the IPV6 and IPV4 socket options are seperate.
The server does have to deal with both IPv4 and IPv6 socket options
and the client has to handle the different for each family.
On client:
int ttl = 255;
getaddrinfo(argv[1], argv[2], &hint, &result);
for (rp = result; rp != NULL; rp = rp->ai_next) {
s = socket(rp->ai_family, rp->ai_socktype, rp->ai_protocol);
if (s < 0) continue;
if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET) {
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL, &ttl, sizeof(ttl));
} else if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET6) {
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS,
&ttl, sizeof(ttl)))
}
if (connect(s, rp->ai_addr, rp->ai_addrlen) == 0) {
...
On server:
int minttl = 255 - maxhops;
getaddrinfo(NULL, port, &hints, &result);
for (rp = result; rp != NULL; rp = rp->ai_next) {
s = socket(rp->ai_family, rp->ai_socktype, rp->ai_protocol);

The issue raises when having 2 NICs both assigned the same
IPv6 global address.
If a sender binds to a particular NIC (SO_BINDTODEVICE),
the outgoing traffic is being sent via the first found.
The bonded device is thus not taken into an account during the
routing.
From the ip6_route_output function:
If the binding address is multicast, linklocal or loopback,
the RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE bit is set, but not for global address.
So binding global address will neglect SO_BINDTODEVICE-binded device,
because the fib6_rule_lookup function path won't check for the
flowi::oif field and take first route that fits.

field less than IPV6_MIN_MTU
According to RFC2460, PMTU is set to the IPv6 Minimum Link
MTU (1280) and a fragment header should always be included
after a node receiving Too Big message reporting PMTU is
less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU.
After receiving a ICMPv6 Too Big message reporting PMTU is
less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU, sctp *can't* send any
data/control chunk that total length including IPv6 head
and IPv6 extend head is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU(1280 bytes).
The failure occured in p6_fragment(), about reason
see following(take SHUTDOWN chunk for example):
sctp_packet_transmit (SHUTDOWN chunk, len=16 byte)
|------sctp_v6_xmit (local_df=0)
|------ip6_xmit
|------ip6_output (dst_allfrag is ture)
|------ip6_fragment
In ip6_fragment(), for local_df=0, drops the the packet
and returns EMSGSIZE.
The patch fixes it with adding check length of skb->len.
In this case, Ipv6 not to fragment upper protocol data,
just only add a fragment header before it.

invalid, but it's not the whole story.
If we're going to use CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for these things (which we are
since commit 2e8e18ef52e7dd1af0a3bd1f7d990a1d0b249586 "tcp: Set
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in tcp_init_nondata_skb"), we can't be setting

need to leave it at zero.

My recent patch to remove the open-coded checksum sequence in
tcp_v6_send_response broke it as we did not set the transport
header pointer on the new packet.
Actually, there is code there trying to set the transport
header properly, but it sets it for the wrong skb ('skb'
instead of 'buff').

With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
work.
sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)
This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
again :)
This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.
__sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))
This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

__xfrm_lookup() is called for each packet transmitted out of
system. The xfrm_find_bundle() does a linear search which can
kill system performance depending on how many bundles are
required per policy.
This modifies __xfrm_lookup() to store bundles directly in
the flow cache. If we did not get a hit, we just create a new
bundle instead of doing slow search. This means that we can now
get multiple xfrm_dst's for same flow (on per-cpu basis).

addr_bit_test() is used in various places in IPv6 routing table
subsystem. It checks if the given fn_bit is set,
where fn_bit counts bits from MSB in words in network-order.
fn_bit : 0 .... 31 32 .... 64 65 .... 95 96 ....127
fn_bit >> 5 gives offset of word, and (~fn_bit & 0x1f) gives
count from LSB in the network-endian word in question.
fn_bit >> 5 : 0 1 2 3
~fn_bit & 0x1f: 31 .... 0 31 .... 0 31 .... 0 31 .... 0
Thus, the mask was generated as htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)).
This can be optimized by "sweezle" (See include/asm-generic/bitops/le.h).
In little-endian,
htonl(1 << bit) = 1 << (bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE)
where
BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is (0x1f & ~7)
So,
htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)) = 1 << ((~fn_bit & 0x1f) ^ (0x1f & ~7))
= 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ ~7) & 0x1f)
= 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f)
In big-endian, BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is equal to 0.
1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f)
= 1 << ((~fn_bit) & 0x1f)

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
