sched/headers: Prepare to use instead of in

2017-03-02T07:42:38+00:00

We don't actually need the full rculist.h header in sched.h anymore,
we will be able to include the smaller rcupdate.h header instead.

But first update code that relied on the implicit header inclusion.

rhashtable: Add nested tables

2017-02-17T17:28:35+00:00

This patch adds code that handles GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc failure on
insertion.  As we cannot use vmalloc, we solve it by making our
hash table nested.  That is, we allocate single pages at each level
and reach our desired table size by nesting them.

When a nested table is created, only a single page is allocated
at the top-level.  Lower levels are allocated on demand during
insertion.  Therefore for each insertion to succeed, only two
(non-consecutive) pages are needed.

After a nested table is created, a rehash will be scheduled in
order to switch to a vmalloced table as soon as possible.  Also,
the rehash code will never rehash into a nested table.  If we
detect a nested table during a rehash, the rehash will be aborted
and a new rehash will be scheduled.

rhashtable: Add rhlist interface

2016-09-20T08:43:36+00:00

The insecure_elasticity setting is an ugly wart brought out by
users who need to insert duplicate objects (that is, distinct
objects with identical keys) into the same table.

In fact, those users have a much bigger problem.  Once those
duplicate objects are inserted, they don't have an interface to
find them (unless you count the walker interface which walks
over the entire table).

Some users have resorted to doing a manual walk over the hash
table which is of course broken because they don't handle the
potential existence of multiple hash tables.  The result is that
they will break sporadically when they encounter a hash table
resize/rehash.

This patch provides a way out for those users, at the expense
of an extra pointer per object.  Essentially each object is now
a list of objects carrying the same key.  The hash table will
only see the lists so nothing changes as far as rhashtable is
concerned.

To use this new interface, you need to insert a struct rhlist_head
into your objects instead of struct rhash_head.  While the hash
table is unchanged, for type-safety you'll need to use struct
rhltable instead of struct rhashtable.  All the existing interfaces
have been duplicated for rhlist, including the hash table walker.

One missing feature is nulls marking because AFAIK the only potential
user of it does not need duplicate objects.  Should anyone need
this it shouldn't be too hard to add.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree.  Most relevant updates are the removal of per-conntrack timers to
use a workqueue/garbage collection approach instead from Florian
Westphal, the hash and numgen expression for nf_tables from Laura
Garcia, updates on nf_tables hash set to honor the NLM_F_EXCL flag,
removal of ip_conntrack sysctl and many other incremental updates on our
Netfilter codebase.

More specifically, they are:

1) Retrieve only 4 bytes to fetch ports in case of non-linear skb
   transport area in dccp, sctp, tcp, udp and udplite protocol
   conntrackers, from Gao Feng.

2) Missing whitespace on error message in physdev match, from Hangbin Liu.

3) Skip redundant IPv4 checksum calculation in nf_dup_ipv4, from Liping Zhang.

4) Add nf_ct_expires() helper function and use it, from Florian Westphal.

5) Replace opencoded nf_ct_kill() call in IPVS conntrack support, also
   from Florian.

6) Rename nf_tables set implementation to nft_set_{name}.c

7) Introduce the hash expression to allow arbitrary hashing of selector
   concatenations, from Laura Garcia Liebana.

8) Remove ip_conntrack sysctl backward compatibility code, this code has
   been around for long time already, and we have two interfaces to do
   this already: nf_conntrack sysctl and ctnetlink.

9) Use nf_conntrack_get_ht() helper function whenever possible, instead
   of opencoding fetch of hashtable pointer and size, patch from Liping Zhang.

10) Add quota expression for nf_tables.

11) Add number generator expression for nf_tables, this supports
    incremental and random generators that can be combined with maps,
    very useful for load balancing purpose, again from Laura Garcia Liebana.

12) Fix a typo in a debug message in FTP conntrack helper, from Colin Ian King.

13) Introduce a nft_chain_parse_hook() helper function to parse chain hook
    configuration, this is used by a follow up patch to perform better chain
    update validation.

14) Add rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_key() to rhashtable and use it from the
    nft_set_hash implementation to honor the NLM_F_EXCL flag.

15) Missing nulls check in nf_conntrack from nf_conntrack_tuple_taken(),
    patch from Florian Westphal.

16) Don't use the DYING bit to know if the conntrack event has been already
    delivered, instead a state variable to track event re-delivery
    states, also from Florian.

17) Remove the per-conntrack timer, use the workqueue approach that was
    discussed during the NFWS, from Florian Westphal.

18) Use the netlink conntrack table dump path to kill stale entries,
    again from Florian.

19) Add a garbage collector to get rid of stale conntracks, from
    Florian.

20) Reschedule garbage collector if eviction rate is high.

21) Get rid of the __nf_ct_kill_acct() helper.

22) Use ARPHRD_ETHER instead of hardcoded 1 from ARP logger.

23) Make nf_log_set() interface assertive on unsupported families.

rhashtable: add rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_key()

2016-08-26T15:29:41+00:00

This patch modifies __rhashtable_insert_fast() so it returns the
existing object that clashes with the one that you want to insert.
In case the object is successfully inserted, NULL is returned.
Otherwise, you get an error via ERR_PTR().

This patch adapts the existing callers of __rhashtable_insert_fast()
so they handle this new logic, and it adds a new
rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_key() interface to fetch this existing
object.

nf_tables needs this change to improve handling of EEXIST cases via
honoring the NLM_F_EXCL flag and by checking if the data part of the
mapping matches what we have.

rhashtable: Remove GFP flag from rhashtable_walk_init

2016-08-19T21:40:24+00:00

The commit 8f6fd83c6c5ec66a4a70c728535ddcdfef4f3697 ("rhashtable:
accept GFP flags in rhashtable_walk_init") added a GFP flag argument
to rhashtable_walk_init because some users wish to use the walker
in an unsleepable context.

In fact we don't need to allocate memory in rhashtable_walk_init
at all.  The walker is always paired with an iterator so we could
just stash ourselves there.

This patch does that by introducing a new enter function to replace
the existing init function.  This way we don't have to churn all
the existing users again.

rhashtable: accept GFP flags in rhashtable_walk_init

2016-04-05T08:56:32+00:00

In certain cases, the 802.11 mesh pathtable code wants to
iterate over all of the entries in the forwarding table from
the receive path, which is inside an RCU read-side critical
section.  Enable walks inside atomic sections by allowing
GFP_ATOMIC allocations for the walker state.

Change all existing callsites to pass in GFP_KERNEL.

rhashtable: Prevent spurious EBUSY errors on insertion

2015-12-04T19:38:26+00:00

Thomas and Phil observed that under stress rhashtable insertion
sometimes failed with EBUSY, even though this error should only
ever been seen when we're under attack and our hash chain length
has grown to an unacceptable level, even after a rehash.

It turns out that the logic for detecting whether there is an
existing rehash is faulty.  In particular, when two threads both
try to grow the same table at the same time, one of them may see
the newly grown table and thus erroneously conclude that it had
been rehashed.  This is what leads to the EBUSY error.

This patch fixes this by remembering the current last table we
used during insertion so that rhashtable_insert_rehash can detect
when another thread has also done a resize/rehash.  When this is
detected we will give up our resize/rehash and simply retry the
insertion with the new table.
