      afs: Push the net ns pointer to more places · 9ed900b1
      David Howells authored
      Push the network namespace pointer to more places in AFS, including the
      afs_server structure (which doesn't hold a ref on the netns).
      
      In particular, afs_put_cell() now takes requires a net ns parameter so that
      it can safely alter the netns after decrementing the cell usage count - the
      cell will be deallocated by a background thread after being cached for a
      period, which means that it's not safe to access it after reducing its
      usage count.

      afs: Note the cell in the superblock info also · 49566f6f
      David Howells authored
      Keep a reference to the cell in the superblock info structure in addition
      to the volume and net pointers.  This will make it easier to clean up in a
      future patch in which afs_put_volume() will need the cell pointer.
      
      Whilst we're at it, make the cell and volume getting functions return a
      pointer to the object got to make the call sites look neater.

      afs: Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces · f044c884
      David Howells authored
      Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces (netns) to the AFS
      filesystem by moving various global features to a network-namespace struct
      (afs_net) and providing an instance of this as a temporary global variable
      that everything uses via accessor functions for the moment.
      
      The following changes have been made:
      
       (1) Store the netns in the superblock info.  This will be obtained from
           the mounter's nsproxy on a manual mount and inherited from the parent
           superblock on an automount.
      
       (2) The cell list is made per-netns.  It can be viewed through
           /proc/net/afs/cells and also be modified by writing commands to that
           file.
      
       (3) The local workstation cell is set per-ns in /proc/net/afs/rootcell.
           This is unset by default.
      
       (4) The 'rootcell' module parameter, which sets a cell and VL server list
           modifies the init net namespace, thereby allowing an AFS root fs to be
           theoretically used.
      
       (5) The volume location lists and the file lock manager are made
           per-netns.
      
       (6) The AF_RXRPC socket and associated I/O bits are made per-ns.
      
      The various workqueues remain global for the moment.
      
      Changes still to be made:
      
       (1) /proc/fs/afs/ should be moved to /proc/net/afs/ and a symlink emplaced
           from the old name.
      
       (2) A per-netns subsys needs to be registered for AFS into which it can
           store its per-netns data.
      
       (3) Rather than the AF_RXRPC socket being opened on module init, it needs
           to be opened on the creation of a superblock in that netns.
      
       (4) The socket needs to be closed when the last superblock using it is
           destroyed and all outstanding client calls on it have been completed.
           This prevents a reference loop on the namespace.
      
       (5) It is possible that several namespaces will want to use AFS, in which
           case each one will need its own UDP port.  These can either be set
           through /proc/net/afs/cm_port or the kernel can pick one at random.
           The init_ns gets 7001 by default.
      
      Other issues that need resolving:
      
       (1) The DNS keyring needs net-namespacing.
      
       (2) Where do upcalls go (eg. DNS request-key upcall)?
      
       (3) Need something like open_socket_in_file_ns() syscall so that AFS
           command line tools attempting to operate on an AFS file/volume have
           their RPC calls go to the right place.

      Pass mode to wait_on_atomic_t() action funcs and provide default actions · 5e4def20
      David Howells authored
      Make wait_on_atomic_t() pass the TASK_* mode onto its action function as an
      extra argument and make it 'unsigned int throughout.
      
      Also, consolidate a bunch of identical action functions into a default

      Also, change the argument name in the bit_wait*() function declarations to
      reflect the fact that it's the mode and not the bit number.
      
      [Peter Z gives this a grudging ACK, but thinks that the whole atomic_t wait
      should be done differently, though he's not immediately sure as to how]

      ====================
      net: improve the process of redirect and toobig for ipv6 tunnels
      
      Now let's say there are 3 kinds of icmp packets to process for tunnels,
      toobig(needfrag), redirect, others, their process should be:
      
       - toobig(needfrag)
         update the lower dst's pmtu by route cache, also update sk dst's pmtu
         if possible, or it will be fine if sk dst pmtu will get updated on tx
         path.
      
       - redirect
         update the lower dst's gw by route cache and return, no need to send
         this redirect packet to user sk.
      
       - others
         send the packet to user's sk, or it will also be fine to use err_count
         to count it and report fail link on tx path.
      
      All ipv4 tunnels basically follow this while some of ipv6 tunnels are
      doing in different ways, like ip6gre and ip6_tunnels update tnl dev's
      mtu instead of updating lower dst pmtu, no redirect process on their
      err_handlers, which doesn't make any sense and even causes performance
      problems.
      
      This patchset is to improve the process of redirect and toobig for ip6gre
      ip4ip6, ip6ip6 tunnels, as in ipv4 tunnels.

      Xin Long authored
      This patch is to remove some useless codes of redirect and fix some
      indents on ip4ip6 and ip6ip6's err_handlers.
      
      Note that redirect icmp packet is already processed in ip6_tnl_err,
      the old redirect codes in ip4ip6_err actually never worked even
      before this patch. Besides, there's no need to send redirect to
      user's sk, it's for lower dst, so just remove it in this patch.

      ip6_gre: process toobig in a better way · fe1a4ca0
      Xin Long authored
      Now ip6gre processes toobig icmp packet by setting gre dev's mtu in
      ip6gre_err, which would cause few things not good:
      
        - It couldn't set mtu with dev_set_mtu due to it's not in user context,
          which causes route cache and idev->cnf.mtu6 not to be updated.
      
        - It has to update sk dst pmtu in tx path according to gredev->mtu for
          ip6gre, while it updates pmtu again according to lower dst pmtu in
          ip6_tnl_xmit.
      
        - To change dev->mtu by toobig icmp packet is not a good idea, it should
          only work on pmtu.
      
      This patch is to process toobig by updating the lower dst's pmtu, as later
      sk dst pmtu will be updated in ip6_tnl_xmit, the same way as in ip4gre.
      
      Note that gre dev's mtu will not be updated any more, it doesn't make any
      sense to change dev's mtu after receiving a toobig packet.

      ====================
      Openvswitch meter action
      
      This patch series is the first attempt to add openvswitch
      meter support. We have previously experimented with adding
      metering support in nftables. However 1) It was not clear
      how to expose a named nftables object cleanly, and 2)
      the logic that implements metering is quite small, < 100 lines
      of code.
      
      With those two observations, it seems cleaner to add meter
      support in the openvswitch module directly.

      In that case, we need to support a slightly different tagging format.
      
      The first patch does a bit of re-factoring and passes a port index to
      the get_tag_protocol() function since at least two different drivers need
      that type of information (mt7530, b53) to support tagging or not.

      af_netlink: ensure that NLMSG_DONE never fails in dumps · 0642840b
      Jason A. Donenfeld authored
      The way people generally use netlink_dump is that they fill in the skb
      as much as possible, breaking when nla_put returns an error. Then, they
      get called again and start filling out the next skb, and again, and so
      forth. The mechanism at work here is the ability for the iterative
      dumping function to detect when the skb is filled up and not fill it
      past the brim, waiting for a fresh skb for the rest of the data.
      
      However, if the attributes are small and nicely packed, it is possible
      that a dump callback function successfully fills in attributes until the
      skb is of size 4080 (libmnl's default page-sized receive buffer size).
      The dump function completes, satisfied, and then, if it happens to be
      that this is actually the last skb, and no further ones are to be sent,
      then netlink_dump will add on the NLMSG_DONE part:
      
        nlh = nlmsg_put_answer(skb, cb, NLMSG_DONE, sizeof(len), NLM_F_MULTI);
      
      It is very important that netlink_dump does this, of course. However, in
      this example, that call to nlmsg_put_answer will fail, because the
      previous filling by the dump function did not leave it enough room. And
      how could it possibly have done so? All of the nla_put variety of
      functions simply check to see if the skb has enough tailroom,
      independent of the context it is in.
      
      In order to keep the important assumptions of all netlink dump users, it
      is therefore important to give them an skb that has this end part of the
      tail already reserved, so that the call to nlmsg_put_answer does not
      fail. Otherwise, library authors are forced to find some bizarre sized
      receive buffer that has a large modulo relative to the common sizes of
      messages received, which is ugly and buggy.
      
      This patch thus saves the NLMSG_DONE for an additional message, for the
      case that things are dangerously close to the brim. This requires
      keeping track of the errno from ->dump() across calls.

      ====================
      netem: add nsec scheduling and slot feature
      
      This patch series converts netem away from the old "ticks" interface and
      userspace API, and adds support for a new "slot" feature intended to
      emulate bursty macs such as WiFi and LTE better.
      
      Changes since v2:
      Use u64 for packet_len_sched_time()
      Use simpler max(time_to_send,q->slot.slot_next)
      
      Changes since v1:
      Always pass new nanosecond APIs to userspace

      netem: support delivering packets in delayed time slots · 836af83b
      Dave Taht authored
      Slotting is a crude approximation of the behaviors of shared media such
      as cable, wifi, and LTE, which gather up a bunch of packets within a
      varying delay window and deliver them, relative to that, nearly all at
      once.
      
      It works within the existing loss, duplication, jitter and delay
      parameters of netem. Some amount of inherent latency must be specified,
      regardless.
      
      The new "slot" parameter specifies a minimum and maximum delay between
      transmission attempts.
      
      The "bytes" and "packets" parameters can be used to limit the amount of
      information transferred per slot.
      
      Examples of use:
      
      tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 200us \
               slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42
      
      A more correct example, using stacked netem instances and a packet limit
      to emulate a tail drop wifi queue with slots and variable packet
      delivery, with a 200Mbit isochronous underlying rate, and 20ms path
      delay:
      
      tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 20ms rate 200mbit \
               limit 10000
      tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10:1 netem delay 200us \
               slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42 limit 512

      netem: add uapi to express delay and jitter in nanoseconds · 99803171
      Dave Taht authored
      netem userspace has long relied on a horrible /proc/net/psched hack
      to translate the current notion of "ticks" to nanoseconds.
      
      Expressing latency and jitter instead, in well defined nanoseconds,
      increases the dynamic range of emulated delays and jitter in netem.
      
      It will also ease a transition where reducing a tick to nsec
      equivalence would constrain the max delay in prior versions of
      netem to only 4.3 seconds.

      timers: Add a function to start/reduce a timer · b24591e2
      David Howells authored
      Add a function, similar to mod_timer(), that will start a timer if it isn't
      running and will modify it if it is running and has an expiry time longer
      than the new time.  If the timer is running with an expiry time that's the
      same or sooner, no change is made.
      
      The function looks like:
      
      	int timer_reduce(struct timer_list *timer, unsigned long expires);
      
      This can be used by code such as networking code to make it easier to share
      a timer for multiple timeouts.  For instance, in upcoming AF_RXRPC code,
      the rxrpc_call struct will maintain a number of timeouts:
      
      	unsigned long	ack_at;
      	unsigned long	resend_at;
      	unsigned long	ping_at;
      	unsigned long	expect_rx_by;
      	unsigned long	expect_req_by;
      	unsigned long	expect_term_by;
      
      each of which is set independently of the others.  With timer reduction
      available, when the code needs to set one of the timeouts, it only needs to
      look at that timeout and then call timer_reduce() to modify the timer,
      starting it or bringing it forward if necessary.  There is no need to refer
      to the other timeouts to see which is earliest and no need to take any lock
      other than, potentially, the timer lock inside timer_reduce().
      
      Note, that this does not protect against concurrent invocations of any of
      the timer functions.
      
      As an example, the expect_rx_by timeout above, which terminates a call if
      we don't get a packet from the server within a certain time window, would
      be set something like this:
      
      	unsigned long now = jiffies;
      	unsigned long expect_rx_by = now + packet_receive_timeout;
      	WRITE_ONCE(call->expect_rx_by, expect_rx_by);
      	timer_reduce(&call->timer, expect_rx_by);
      
      The timer service code (which might, say, be in a work function) would then
      check all the timeouts to see which, if any, had triggered, deal with
      those:
      
      	t = READ_ONCE(call->ack_at);
      	if (time_after_eq(now, t)) {
      		cmpxchg(&call->ack_at, t, now + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET);
      		set_bit(RXRPC_CALL_EV_ACK, &call->events);
      	}
      
      and then restart the timer if necessary by finding the soonest timeout that
      hasn't yet passed and then calling timer_reduce().
      
      The disadvantage of doing things this way rather than comparing the timers
      each time and calling mod_timer() is that you *will* take timer events
      unless you can finish what you're doing and delete the timer in time.
      
      The advantage of doing things this way is that you don't need to use a lock
      to work out when the next timer should be set, other than the timer's own
      lock - which you might not have to take.

      pstore: Use ktime_get_real_fast_ns() instead of __getnstimeofday() · df27067e
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      __getnstimeofday() is a rather odd interface, with a number of quirks:
      
      - The caller may come from NMI context, but the implementation is not NMI safe,
        one way to get there from NMI is
      
            NMI handler:
              something bad
                panic()
                  kmsg_dump()
                    pstore_dump()
                       pstore_record_init()
                         __getnstimeofday()
      
      - The calling conventions are different from any other timekeeping functions,
        to deal with returning an error code during suspended timekeeping.
      
      Address the above issues by using a completely different method to get the
      time: ktime_get_real_fast_ns() is NMI safe and has a reasonable behavior
      when timekeeping is suspended: it returns the time at which it got
      suspended. As Thomas Gleixner explained, this is safe, as
      ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does not call into the clocksource driver that
      might be suspended.
      
      The result can easily be transformed into a timespec structure. Since
      ktime_get_real_fast_ns() was not exported to modules, add the export.
      
      The pstore behavior for the suspended case changes slightly, as it now
      stores the timestamp at which timekeeping was suspended instead of storing
      a zero timestamp.
      
      This change is not addressing y2038-safety, that's subject to a more
      complex follow up patch.
