While looking for other fib_trie problems reported by Pawel Staszewski I noticed there are a few uses of tnode_get_child() and node_parent() in lookups instead of their rcu versions. Signed-off-by:

During large updates there could be triggered warnings like: "Fix inflate_threshold_root. Now=25 size=11 bits" if inflate() of the root node isn't finished in 10 loops. It should be much rarer now, after changing the threshold from 15 to 25, and a temporary problem, so this patch tries to handle it automatically using a fix variable to increase by one inflate threshold for next root resizes (up to the 35 limit, max fix = 10). The fix variable is decreased when root's inflate() finishes below 7 loops (even if some other, smaller table/ trie is updated -- for simplicity the fix variable is global for now). Reported-by:

During trie_rebalance() we free memory after resizing with call_rcu(), but large updates, especially with PREEMPT_NONE configs, can cause memory stresses, so this patch calls synchronize_rcu() in tnode_free_flush() after each sync_pages to guarantee such freeing (especially before resizing the root node). The value of sync_pages = 128 is based on Pawel Staszewski's tests as the lowest which doesn't hinder updating times. (For testing purposes there was a sysfs module parameter to change it on demand, but it's removed until we're sure it could be really useful.) The patch is based on suggestions by: Paul E.

The connector test code currently does not work out of the box. This is because it uses a connector id that is above the registered limit. So rather than force people to stumble through undocumented code wondering why it isn't working, have the test code use one of the "private" ids by default. While I'm in here, clean up the code (kernel and user app) so that it's a bit more user friendly and verbose in significant things that it does. Terse test code wastes people time as they simply enumerate it with all the same kind of debug messages to get a better feel of what code is running at any time. Signed-off-by:

The connector documentation states that the argument to the callback function is always a pointer to a struct cn_msg, but rather than encode it in the API itself, it uses a void pointer everywhere. This doesn't make much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong pointer type. So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg pointer. Signed-off-by:

Commit e912b114 (net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory) took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time. sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful. We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake, while not fully (re)initialized. This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job. We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting) Signed-off-by:

E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Unfortunately it fails to transfer skb->data ownership to the device after it reads the descriptor's status, breaking on non-coherent (e.g., ARM) platforms. This have to be converted to use coherent memory for the descriptors. Signed-off-by:

Bonding device forbids slave device of different types under the same master. However, it is possible for a bonding master to change type during its lifetime. This can be either from ARPHRD_ETHER to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND or the other way arround. The change of type requires device level multicast address cleanup because device level multicast addresses depend on the device type. The patch adds a call to dev_close() before the bonding master changes type and dev_open() just after that. In the example below I enslaved an IPoIB device (ib0) under bond0. Since each bonding master starts as device of type ARPHRD_ETHER by default, a change of type occurs when ib0 is enslaved. This is how /proc/net/dev_mcast looks like without the patch 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 5 bond0 1 0 01005e000116 5 bond0 1 0 01005e7ffffd 5 bond0 1 0 01005e000001 5 bond0 1 0 333300000001 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 6 ib0 1 0 333300000001 6 ib0 1 0 01005e000001 6 ib0 1 0 01005e7ffffd 6 ib0 1 0 01005e000116 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001 and this is how it looks like after the patch. 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff0000000000000ffffffd 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000116 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000116 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff0000000000000ffffffd 6 ib0 2 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001 6 ib0 2 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001 Signed-off-by:

When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless readers. In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next object in hash chain.) kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next. Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself. As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier. Signed-off-by:

Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a 32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00. The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort. A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a 32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its internal information, which is worse than it not getting the information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event. A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for 64-bit quantities. In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was suggested by David Miller, my original approach required always sending two skbs but that had various small problems. To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg parameter. I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read() rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong (64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do this, nor would it be a regression. Signed-off-by:

The current function for sending events first allocates the event stream buffer, and then an skb to copy the event stream into. This can be done in one go. Also, the current function leaks kernel data to userspace in a 4 uninitialised bytes, initialise those explicitly. Finally also add a few useful comments, as opposed to the current comments.
