Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

2012-10-02T20:38:27+00:00

Pull networking changes from David Miller:

 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.

 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.

 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.

 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.

 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.

 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.

 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
    Borkmann.

 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
    outgoing networking traffic.  This benefits processes that have very
    many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.

    From Eric Dumazet.

10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
    smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail.  Benefits are
    a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
    allocator c) less waste of space.

    From Eric Dumazet.

11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.

12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
    limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
    From Stephen Hemminger.

13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
    perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
namespace changes.

netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2012-09-10T19:30:41+00:00

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

dlm: check the maximum size of a request from user

2012-09-10T14:50:27+00:00

device_write only checks whether the request size is big enough, but it doesn't
check if the size is too big.

At that point, it also tries to allocate as much memory as the user has requested
even if it's too much. This can lead to OOM killer kicking in, or memory corruption
if (count + 1) overflows.

dlm: convert add_sock routine return value type to void

2012-08-10T14:10:10+00:00

Since add_sock() always returns a success code - 0, its return
value type should be changed from integer to void.

dlm: remove redundant variable assignments

2012-08-10T14:10:10+00:00

Once the tcp_create_listen_sock() is returned successfully, we
will invoke add_sock() immediately. In add_sock(), the 'con'
variable is assigned to 'sk_user_data', meanwhile, the 'sock' is
also set to 'con->sock'. So it's unnecessary to do the same thing
in tcp_create_listen_sock().

dlm: fix unlock balance warnings

2012-08-08T16:33:49+00:00

The in_recovery rw_semaphore has always been acquired and
released by different threads by design.  To work around
the "BUG: bad unlock balance detected!" messages, adjust
things so the dlm_recoverd thread always does both down_write
and up_write.

dlm: fix deadlock between dlm_send and dlm_controld

2012-08-08T16:33:35+00:00

A deadlock sometimes occurs between dlm_controld closing
a lowcomms connection through configfs and dlm_send looking
up the address for a new connection in configfs.

dlm_controld does a configfs rmdir which calls
dlm_lowcomms_close which waits for dlm_send to
cancel work on the workqueues.

The dlm_send workqueue thread has called
tcp_connect_to_sock which calls dlm_nodeid_to_addr
which does a configfs lookup and blocks on a lock
held by dlm_controld in the rmdir path.

The solution here is to save the node addresses within
the lowcomms code so that the lowcomms workqueue does
not need to step through configfs to get a node address.

dlm: fix missing dir remove

2012-07-16T19:24:43+00:00

I don't know exactly how, but in some cases, a dir
record is not removed, or a new one is created when
it shouldn't be.  The result is that the dir node
lookup returns a master node where the rsb does not
exist.  In this case, The master node will repeatedly
return -EBADR for requests, and the lock requests will
be stuck.

Until all possible ways for this to happen can be
eliminated, a simple and effective way to recover from
this situation is for the supposed master node to send
a standard remove message to the dir node when it
receives a request for a resource it has no rsb for.
