Currently, SCTP code defines its own timeval functions (since timeval is rarely used inside the kernel by others), namely tv_lt() and TIMEVAL_ADD() macros, that operate on SCTP cookie expiration. We might as well remove all those, and operate directly on ktime structures for a couple of reasons: ktime is available on all archs; complexity of ktime calculations depending on the arch is less than (reduces to a simple arithmetic operations on archs with BITS_PER_LONG == 64 or CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR) or equal to timeval functions (other archs); code becomes more readable; macros can be thrown out.

There are no counters allocated to the eth device when the port is down, so this query is meaningless at that time. It also leads to querying incorrect counters (since the counter_index is not valid when the device port is down). Signed-off-by:

If the tokenized ip address is re-set on an interface we depend on the arrival of a new router advertisment to call addrconf_verify to clean up the old address (which valid_lft is now set to 0). Old addresses can linger around for a longer time if e.g. the source of router advertisments vanishes. So, call addrconf_verify immediately after setting the new tokenized address to get rid of the old tokenized addresses. Cc: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

The reason behind this change is that as soon as we delete the last ipv6 address of an interface we also lose the /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<interface> directory. This seems to be a usability problem for me. I don't see any reason why we should shutdown ipv6 on that interface in such cases. Cc: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by:

This patch splits the timers for duplicate address detection and router solicitations apart. The router solicitations timer goes into inet6_dev and the dad timer stays in inet6_ifaddr. The reason behind this patch is to reduce the number of unneeded router solicitations send out by the host if additional link-local addresses are created. Currently we send out RS for every link-local address on an interface. If the RS timer fires we pick a source address with ipv6_get_lladdr. This change could hurt people adding additional link-local addresses and specifying these addresses in the radvd clients section because we no longer guarantee that we use every ll address as source address in router solicitations.

Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> mlx4 exclusively uses order-2 allocations in RX path, which are likely to fail under memory pressure. We therefore drop frames more than needed. This patch tries order-3, order-2, order-1 and finally order-0 allocations to keep good performance, yet allow allocations if/when memory gets fragmented. By using larger pages, and avoiding unnecessary get_page()/put_page() on compound pages, this patch improves performance as well, lowering false sharing on struct page. Also use GFP_KERNEL allocations in initialization path, as allocating 12 MB (390 order-3 pages) can easily fail with GFP_ATOMIC. Signed-off-by:

Ben Hutchings says: ==================== 1. Make EEH recovery work when using legacy interrupts, from Alexandre Rames. 2. Enable accelerated RFS for VLAN-tagged flows, from Andy Lutomirski. 3. Improve performance for non-TCP (and particularly UDP) traffic, which regressed in 3.10 when we switched to always allocating paged RX buffers. Partly by Jon Cooper. 4. Some minor bug fixes to IOMMU detection, timestamping capabilities, and IRQ cleanup on the probe failure path. I've dropped the RX skb cache, which improved some benchmarks but perhaps needs some reworking to be more generally useful. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

When the initial MTU size is changed prior to any activity on the device (e.g. by attaching a z/VM vNIC already configured in Linux to a guestLAN), we call dev_kfree_skb_irq(NULL) which results in a kernel panic. Adding a proper check for NULL pointers to address this issue. Signed-off-by:

blkt settings (or LAN idle settings) for an OSA Express card determine when and how often an OSA Express card tells the operating system about new incoming packets. The semantic of these settings has changed starting with OSA Express3. Currently the qeth standard settings apply to OSA Express2 and older generations of OSA Express cards, while new generations of OSA Express cards require extra coding of their reasonable default. To cover future OSA Express generations the qeth default standard blkt setting is now the desired setting for OSA generations starting with OSA Express3, while the fixed set of older OSA Express cards receives its blkt settings explicitly.

struct tcp_fastopen_context has a field named tfm, which is a pointer to a crypto_cipher structure. It currently has a __rcu annotation, which is not needed at all. tcp_fastopen_ctx is the pointer fetched by rcu_dereference(), but once we have a pointer to current tcp_fastopen_context, we do not use/need rcu_dereference() to access tfm. This fixes a lot of sparse errors like the following : net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen.c:21:31: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen.c:21:31: expected struct crypto_cipher *tfm net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen.c:21:31: got struct crypto_cipher [noderef] <asn:4>*tfm Signed-off-by:

Currently, there is no good possibility to debug netlink traffic that is being exchanged between kernel and user space. Therefore, this patch implements a netlink virtual device, so that netlink messages will be made visible to PF_PACKET sockets. Once there was an approach with a similar idea [1], but it got forgotten somehow. I think it makes most sense to accept the "overhead" of an extra netlink net device over implementing the same functionality from PF_PACKET sockets once again into netlink sockets. We have BPF filters that can already be easily applied which even have netlink extensions, we have RX_RING zero-copy between kernel- and user space that can be reused, and much more features. So instead of re-implementing all of this, we simply pass the skb to a given PF_PACKET socket for further analysis. Another nice benefit that comes from that is that no code needs to be changed in user space packet analyzers (maybe adding a dissector, but not more), thus out of the box, we can already capture pcap files of netlink traffic to debug/troubleshoot netlink problems. Also thanks goes to Thomas Graf, Flavio Leitner, Jesper Dangaard Brouer. [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=113813401516110Signed-off-by:

Similarly to the networking receive path with ptype_all taps, we add the possibility to register netdevices that are for ARPHRD_NETLINK to the netlink subsystem, so that those can be used for netlink analyzers resp. debuggers. We do not offer a direct callback function as out-of-tree modules could do crap with it. Instead, a netdevice must be registered properly and only receives a clone, managed by the netlink layer. Symbols are exported as GPL-only. Signed-off-by:

The lifetime of an irq_cpu_rmap is odd: we have to allocate it before installing IRQ handlers and free it before removing the IRQ handlers. As a result of this asymmetry, it was omitted from some failure paths. On another failure path, we could try to remove IRQ handlers we had not yet installed. Move the irq_cpu_rmap allocation and freeing alongside IRQ handler installation and removal, in efx_nic_{init,fini}_interrupts(). Count the number of IRQ handlers successfully installed and only remove those on the failure path. Signed-off-by: -

GRO can handle non-TCP packets and pass them up without coalescing, but it has to do some extra work to parse the packet which we can bypass using the hardware parse result. (This condition yields a false negative for TCP/IPv6 packets received by Falcon, but its performance is already poor in that case due to lack of checksum offload.) Signed-off-by: -
