include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode

bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode

It's a linux-next kernel from 2010-03-12 on an x86 system and it
OOPs in the bridge module in br_pass_frame_up (called by
br_handle_frame_finish) because brdev cannot be dereferenced (its set to
a non-null value).

Adding some BUG_ON statements revealed that
 BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->brdev == br-dev
(as set in br_handle_frame_finish first)
only holds until br_forward is called.
The next call to br_pass_frame_up then fails.

Digging deeper it seems that br_forward either frees the skb or passes
it to NF_HOOK which will in turn take care of freeing the skb. The
same is holds for br_pass_frame_ip. So it seems as if two independent
skb allocations are required. As far as I can see, commit
b33084be192ee1e347d98bb5c9e38a53d98d35e2 ("bridge: Avoid unnecessary
clone on forward path") removed skb duplication and so likely causes
this crash. This crash does not happen on 2.6.33.

I've therefore modified br_forward the same way br_flood has been
modified so that the skb is not freed if skb0 is going to be used
and I can confirm that the attached patch resolves the issue for me.

bridge: Add multicast forwarding functions

2010-02-28T08:48:45+00:00

This patch adds code to perform selective multicast forwarding.

We forward multicast traffic to a set of ports plus all multicast
router ports.  In order to avoid duplications among these two
sets of ports, we order all ports by the numeric value of their
pointers.  The two lists are then walked in lock-step to eliminate
duplicates.

bridge: Split may_deliver/deliver_clone out of br_flood

2010-02-28T08:48:44+00:00

This patch moves the main loop body in br_flood into the function
may_deliver.  The code that clones an skb and delivers it is moved
into the deliver_clone function.

This allows this to be reused by the future multicast forward
function.

bridge: Avoid unnecessary clone on forward path

2010-02-28T08:48:43+00:00

When the packet is delivered to the local bridge device we may
end up cloning it unnecessarily if no bridge port can receive
the packet in br_flood.

This patch avoids this by moving the skb_clone into br_flood.

net/bridge: Add 'hairpin' port forwarding mode

2009-08-13T23:26:11+00:00

This patch adds a 'hairpin' (also called 'reflective relay') mode
port configuration to the Linux Ethernet bridge kernel module.
A bridge supporting hairpin forwarding mode can send frames back
out through the port the frame was received on.

Hairpin mode is required to support basic VEPA (Virtual
Ethernet Port Aggregator) capabilities.

You can find additional information on VEPA here:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/evb/

http://www.internet2.edu/presentations/jt2009jul/20090719-congdon.pdf

An additional patch 'bridge-utils: Add 'hairpin' port forwarding mode'
is provided to allow configuring hairpin mode from userspace tools.

This crashed when an LRO packet generated by bnx2x reached a
tun device through the bridge.  We're supposed to drop it at
the bridge.  However, because the check was placed in br_forward
instead of __br_forward, it's only effective if we are sending
the packet through a single port.

This patch fixes it by moving the check into __br_forward.
