Before the ax25 stack calls dev_queue_xmit it always calls ax25_type_trans which sets skb->protocol to ETH_P_AX25. Which means that by looking at the protocol type it is possible to detect IP packets that have not been munged by the ax25 stack in ndo_start_xmit and call a function to munge them. Rename ax25_neigh_xmit to ax25_ip_xmit and tweak the return type and value to be appropriate for an ndo_start_xmit function. Update all of the ax25 devices to test the protocol type for ETH_P_IP and return ax25_ip_xmit as the first thing they do. This preserves the existing semantics of IP packet processing, but the timing will be a little different as the IP packets now pass through the qdisc layer before reaching the ax25 ip packet processing. Remove the now unnecessary ax25 neighbour table operations. Signed-off-by:

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== Neighbour table and ax25 cleanups While looking at the neighbour table to what it would take to allow using next hops in a different address family than the current packets I found a partial resolution for my issues and I stumbled upon some work that makes the neighbour table code easier to understand and maintain. Long ago in a much younger kernel ax25 found a hack to use dev_rebuild_header to transmit it's packets instead of going through what today is ndo_start_xmit. When the neighbour table was rewritten into it's current form the ax25 code was such a challenge that arp_broken_ops appeard in arp.c and neigh_compat_output appeared in neighbour.c to keep the ax25 hack alive. With a little bit of work I was able to remove some of the hack that is the ax25 transmit path for ip packets and to isolate what remains into a slightly more readable piece of code in ax25_ip.c. Removing the need for the generic code to worry about ax25 special cases. After cleaning up the old ax25 hacks I also performed a little bit of work on neigh_resolve_output to remove the need for a dst entry and to ensure cached headers get a deterministic protocol value in their cached header. This guarantees that a cached header will not be different depending on which protocol of packet is transmitted, and it allows packets to be transmitted that don't have a dst entry. There remains a small amount of code that takes advantage of when packets have a dst entry but that is something different. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Having a dst helps a little bit for teql but is fundamentally unnecessary and there are code paths where a dst is not available that it would be nice to use the neighbour cache. Signed-off-by:

Have ax25_neigh_output perform ordinary arp resolution before calling ax25_neigh_xmit. Call dev_hard_header in ax25_neigh_output with a destination address so it will not fail, and the destination mac address will not need to be set in ax25_neigh_xmit. Remove arp_find from ax25_neigh_xmit (the ordinary arp resolution added to ax25_neigh_output removes the need for calling arp_find). Document how close ax25_neigh_output is to neigh_resolve_output.

AX25 already has it's own private arp cache operations to isolate it's abuse of dev_rebuild_header to transmit packets. Add a function ax25_neigh_construct that will allow all of the ax25 devices to force using these operations, so that the generic arp code does not need to.

Not setting the destination address is a bug that I suspect causes no problems today, as only the arp code seems to call dev_hard_header and the description I have of rose is that it is expected to be used with a static neigbour table. I have derived the offset and the length of the rose destination address from rose_rebuild_header where arp_find calls neigh_ha_snapshot to set the destination address.

Meanwhile, there is no user using iocb argument in its recvmsg() instance. Therefore, if we eliminate the werid usage of iobc argument from TIPC, the iocb argument can be removed from all sendmsg() and recvmsg() instances of the whole networking stack.

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now. Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire networking stack. Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Suggested-by:

Currently the iocb argument is used to idenfiy whether or not socket lock is hold before tipc_sendmsg()/tipc_send_stream() is called. But this usage prevents iocb argument from being dropped through sendmsg() at socket common layer. Therefore, in the commit we introduce two new functions called __tipc_sendmsg() and __tipc_send_stream(). When they are invoked, it assumes that their callers have taken socket lock, thereby avoiding the weird usage of iocb argument.

Eyal Birger says: ==================== net: move skb->dropcount to skb->cb[] Commit 97775007 ("af_packet: add interframe drop cmsg (v6)") unionized skb->mark and skb->dropcount in order to allow recording of the socket drop count while maintaining struct sk_buff size. skb->dropcount was introduced since there was no available room in skb->cb[] in packet sockets. However, its introduction led to the inability to export skb->mark to userspace. It was considered to alias skb->priority instead of skb->mark. However, that would lead to the inabilty to export skb->priority to userspace if desired. Such change may also lead to hard-to-find issues as skb->priority is assumed to be alias free, and, as noted by Shmulik Ladkani, is not 'naturally orthogonal' with other skb fields. This patch series follows the suggestions made by Eric Dumazet moving the dropcount metric to skb->cb[], eliminating this problem at the expense of 4 bytes less in skb->cb[] for protocol families using it. The patch series include compactization of bluetooth and packet use of skb->cb[] as well as the infrastructure for placing dropcount in skb->cb[]. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Commit 3b885787 ("net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg") allowed receiving packet dropcount information as a socket level option. RXRPC sockets recvmsg function was changed to support this by calling sock_recv_ts_and_drops() instead of sock_recv_timestamp(). However, protocol families wishing to receive dropcount should call sock_queue_rcv_skb() or set the dropcount specifically (as done in packet_rcv()). This was not done for rxrpc and thus this feature never worked on these sockets. Formalizing this by not calling sock_recv_ts_and_drops() in rxrpc as part of an effort to move skb->dropcount into skb->cb[] Signed-off-by:

When a PADT frame is received, the socket may not be in a good state to close down the PPP interface. The current implementation handles this by simply blocking all further PPP traffic, and hoping that the lack of traffic will trigger the user to investigate. Use schedule_work to get to a process context from which we clear down the PPP interface, in a fashion analogous to hangup on a TTY-based PPP interface. This causes pppd to disconnect immediately, and allows tools to take immediate corrective action. Note that pppd's rp_pppoe.so plugin has code in it to disable the session when it disconnects; however, as a consequence of this patch, the session is already disabled before rp_pppoe.so is asked to disable the session. The result is a harmless error message: Failed to disconnect PPPoE socket: 114 Operation already in progress This message is safe to ignore, as long as the error is 114 Operation already in progress; in that specific case, it means that the PPPoE session has already been disabled before pppd tried to disable it.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== eBPF support for cls_bpf This is the non-RFC version of my patchset posted before netdev01 [1] conference. It contains a couple of eBPF cleanups and preparation patches to get eBPF support into cls_bpf. The last patch adds the actual support. I'll post the iproute2 parts after the kernel bits are merged, an initial preview link to the code is mentioned in the last patch. Patch 4 and 5 were originally one patch, but I've split them into two parts upon request as patch 4 only is also needed for Alexei's tracing patches that go via tip tree. Tested with tc and all in-kernel available BPF test suites. I have configured and built LLVM with --enable-experimental-targets=BPF but as Alexei put it, the plan is to get rid of the experimental status in future [2]. Thanks a lot! v1 -> v2: - Removed arch patches from this series - x86 is already queued in tip tree, under x86/mm - arm64 just reposted directly to arm folks - Rest is unchanged [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/350191 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1874969 ==================== Signed-off-by:
