2014-01-21net: Add GRO support for UDP encapsulating protocolsOr Gerlitz
Add GRO handlers for protocols that do UDP encapsulation, with the intent of being able to coalesce packets which encapsulate packets belonging to the same TCP session. For GRO purposes, the destination UDP port takes the role of the ether type field in the ethernet header or the next protocol in the IP header. The UDP GRO handler will only attempt to coalesce packets whose destination port is registered to have gro handler. Use a mark on the skb GRO CB data to disallow (flush) running the udp gro receive code twice on a packet. This solves the problem of udp encapsulated packets whose inner VM packet is udp and happen to carry a port which has registered offloads.

2014-01-21ipv6: protect protocols not handling ipv4 from v4 connection/bind attemptsHannes Frederic Sowa
Some ipv6 protocols cannot handle ipv4 addresses, so we must not allow connecting and binding to them. sendmsg logic does already check msg->name for this but must trust already connected sockets which could be set up for connection to ipv4 address family.

ipv6_link_dev_addr sorts newly added addresses by scope in ifp->addr_list. Smaller scope addresses are added to the tail of the list. Use this fact to iterate in reverse over addr_list and break out as soon as a higher scoped one showes up, so we can spare some cycles on machines with lot's of addresses.

2014-01-19ipv6: make IPV6_RECVPKTINFO work for ipv4 datagramsHannes Frederic Sowa
We currently don't report IPV6_RECVPKTINFO in cmsg access ancillary data for IPv4 datagrams on IPv6 sockets. This patch splits the ip6_datagram_recv_ctl into two functions, one which handles both protocol families, AF_INET and AF_INET6, while the ip6_datagram_recv_specific_ctl only handles IPv6 cmsg data. ip6_datagram_recv_*_ctl never reported back any errors, so we can make them return void. Also provide a helper for protocols which don't offer dual personality to further use ip6_datagram_recv_ctl, which is exported to modules. I needed to shuffle the code for ping around a bit to make it easier to implement dual personality for ping ipv6 sockets in future.

2014-01-18net: introduce SO_BPF_EXTENSIONSMichal Sekletar
For user space packet capturing libraries such as libpcap, there's currently only one way to check which BPF extensions are supported by the kernel, that is, commit aa1113d9f85d ("net: filter: return -EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported"). For querying all extensions at once this might be rather inconvenient. Therefore, this patch introduces a new option which can be used as an argument for getsockopt(), and allows one to obtain information about which BPF extensions are supported by the current kernel. As David Miller suggests, we do not need to define any bits right now and status quo can just return 0 in order to state that this versions supports SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET. Later additions to BPF extensions need to add their bits to the bpf_tell_extensions() function, as documented in the comment.

2014-01-17ipv6: send Change Status Report after DAD is completedFlavio Leitner
The RFC 3810 defines two type of messages for multicast listeners. The "Current State Report" message, as the name implies, refreshes the *current* state to the querier. Since the querier sends Query messages periodically, there is no need to retransmit the report. On the other hand, any change should be reported immediately using "State Change Report" messages. Since it's an event triggered by a change and that it can be affected by packet loss, the rfc states it should be retransmitted [RobVar] times to make sure routers will receive timely. Currently, we are sending "Current State Reports" after DAD is completed. Before that, we send messages using unspecified address (::) which should be silently discarded by routers. This patch changes to send "State Change Report" messages after DAD is completed fixing the behavior to be RFC compliant and also to pass TAHI IPv6 testsuite.

2014-01-17tcp: metrics: Avoid duplicate entries with the same destination-IPChristoph Paasch
Because the tcp-metrics is an RCU-list, it may be that two soft-interrupts are inside __tcp_get_metrics() for the same destination-IP at the same time. If this destination-IP is not yet part of the tcp-metrics, both soft-interrupts will end up in tcpm_new and create a new entry for this IP. So, we will have two tcp-metrics with the same destination-IP in the list. This patch checks twice __tcp_get_metrics(). First without holding the lock, then while holding the lock. The second one is there to confirm that the entry has not been added by another soft-irq while waiting for the spin-lock. Fixes: 51c5d0c4b169b (tcp: Maintain dynamic metrics in local cache.)

Comparing the behaviour of how to wait for events in TIPC connect() with other stacks, the TIPC implementation might be perceived as different, and sometimes even incorrect. For instance, as both sock->state and sk_sleep() are directly fed to wait_event_interruptible_timeout() as its arguments, and socket lock has to be released before we call wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), the two variables associated with socket are exposed out of socket lock protection, thereby probably getting stale values so that the process of calling connect() cannot be woken up exactly even if correct event arrives or it is woken up improperly even if the wake condition is not satisfied in practice. Therefore, standardizing its behaviour with sk_stream_wait_connect routine can avoid these risks. Additionally the implementation of connect routine is simplified as a whole, allowing it to return correct values in all different cases.

2014-01-16net: add NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU to notify before mtu change happensVeaceslav Falico
Currently, if a device changes its mtu, first the change happens (invloving all the side effects), and after that the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU is sent so that other devices can catch up with the new mtu. However, if they return NOTIFY_BAD, then the change is reverted and error returned. This is a really long and costy operation (sometimes). To fix this, add NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU notification which is called prior to any change actually happening, and if any callee returns NOTIFY_BAD - the change is aborted. This way we're skipping all the playing with apply/revert the mtu. CC: "David S.

2014-01-16net: Check skb->rxhash in gro_receiveTom Herbert
When initializing a gro_list for a packet, first check the rxhash of the incoming skb against that of the skb's in the list. This should be a very strong inidicator of whether the flow is going to be matched, and potentially allows a lot of other checks to be short circuited. Use skb_hash_raw so that we don't force the hash to be calculated. Tested by running netperf 200 TCP_STREAMs between two machines with GRO, HW rxhash, and 1G. Saw no performance degration, slight reduction of time in dev_gro_receive. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
