Conflicts:
drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c
net/ipv4/inet_diag.c
The be_main.c conflict resolution was really tricky. The conflict
hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least. It
split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual
conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being
be_map_pci_bars().
So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top
of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since
the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully.
The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple
overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve.

This patch deals with the complaint that we make indirect function
calls on the fast paths unnecessarily in rhashtable. We resolve
it by moving the fast paths into inline functions that take struct
rhashtable_param (which obviously must be the same set of parameters
supplied to rhashtable_init) as an argument.
The only remaining indirect call is to obj_hashfn (or key_hashfn it
obj_hashfn is unset) on the rehash as well as the insert-during-
rehash slow path.
This patch also extends the support of vairable-length keys to
include those where the key is fixed but scattered in the object.
For example, in netlink we want to key off the namespace and the
portid but they're not next to each other.
This patch does this by directly using the object hash function
as the indicator of whether the key is accessible or not. It
also adds a new function obj_cmpfn to compare a key against an
object. This means that the caller no longer needs to supply
explicit compare functions.
All this is done in a backwards compatible manner so no existing
users are affected until they convert to the new interface.

sk_ack_backlog & sk_max_ack_backlog were 16bit fields, meaning
listen() backlog was limited to 65535.
It is time to increase the width to allow much bigger backlog,
if admins change /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn &
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_syn_backlog default values.

echo 5000000 >/proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn

One of the major issue for TCP is the SYNACK rtx handling,
done by inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune(), fired by the keepalive
timer of a TCP_LISTEN socket.
This function runs for awful long times, with socket lock held,
meaning that other cpus needing this lock have to spin for hundred of ms.
SYNACK are sent in huge bursts, likely to cause severe drops anyway.
This model was OK 15 years ago when memory was very tight.
We now can afford to have a timer per request sock.
Timer invocations no longer need to lock the listener,
and can be run from all cpus in parallel.
With following patch increasing somaxconn width to 32 bits,
I tested a listener with more than 4 million active request sockets,
and a steady SYNFLOOD of ~200,000 SYN per second.
Host was sending ~830,000 SYNACK per second.
This is ~100 times more what we could achieve before this patch.
Later, we will get rid of the listener hash and use ehash instead.

When request sock are put in ehash table, the whole notion

When a networking device is taken down that has a non-trivial number
of VLAN devices configured under it, we eat a full synchronize_net()
for every such VLAN device.
This is because of the call chain:
NETDEV_DOWN notifier
--> vlan_device_event()
--> dev_change_flags()
--> __dev_change_flags()
--> __dev_close()
--> __dev_close_many()
--> dev_deactivate_many()
--> synchronize_net()
This is kind of rediculous because we already have infrastructure for
batching doing operation X to a list of net devices so that we only
incur one sync.
So make use of that by exporting dev_close_many() and adjusting it's
interfaace so that the caller can fully manage the batch list. Use
this in vlan_device_event() and all the overhead goes away.

in favor of their inner __ ones, which doesn't grab rtnl.
As these functions need to operate on a locked socket, we can't be
grabbing rtnl by then. It's too late and doing so causes reversed
locking.

- move rtnl handling to callers instead while already fixing some
reversed locking situations, like on vxlan and ipvs code.
- renames __ ones to not have the __ mark:
__ip_mc_{join,leave}_group -> ip_mc_{join,leave}_group
__ipv6_sock_mc_{join,drop} -> ipv6_sock_mc_{join,drop}

The TI CC2521 is an RF power amplifier that is designed to interface
with the CC2520. Conveniently, it directly interfaces with the CC2520
and does not require any pins to be connected to a
microcontroller/processor. Adding a CC2591 increases the CC2520's range,
which is useful for border router and other wall-powered applications.
Using the CC2591 with the CC2520 requires configuring the CC2520 GPIOs
that are connected to the CC2591 to correctly set the CC2591 into TX and
RX modes. Further, TI recommends that the CC2520_TXPOWER and
CC2520_AGCCTRL1 registers are set differently to maximize the CC2591's
performance. These settings are covered in TI Application Note AN065.
This patch adds an optional `amplified` field to the cc2520 entry in the
device tree. If present, the CC2520 will be configured to operate with a
CC2591.
The expected pin mapping is:
CC2520 GPIO0 --> CC2591 EN
CC2520 GPIO5 --> CC2591 PAEN

We must set skc_refcnt to 1 for all request socks added in hashes,
but also on request sockets created by FastOpen or syncookies.

future RCU lookups do not try to take a refcount on a not yet

There is a notifier that handles live patches for coming and going modules.
It takes klp_mutex lock to avoid races with coming and going patches but
it does not keep the lock all the time. Therefore the following races are
possible:
1. The notifier is called sometime in STATE_MODULE_COMING. The module
is visible by find_module() in this state all the time. It means that
new patch can be registered and enabled even before the notifier is
called. It might create wrong order of stacked patches, see below
for an example.
2. New patch could still see the module in the GOING state even after
the notifier has been called. It will try to initialize the related
object structures but the module could disappear at any time. There
will stay mess in the structures. It might even cause an invalid
memory access.
This patch solves the problem by adding a boolean variable into struct module.
The value is true after the coming and before the going handler is called.
New patches need to be applied when the value is true and they need to ignore
the module when the value is false.
Note that we need to know state of all modules on the system. The races are
related to new patches. Therefore we do not know what modules will get
patched.
Also note that we could not simply ignore going modules. The code from the
module could be called even in the GOING state until mod->exit() finishes.
If we start supporting patches with semantic changes between function
calls, we need to apply new patches to any still usable code.
See below for an example.
Finally note that the patch solves only the situation when a new patch is
registered. There are no such problems when the patch is being removed.
It does not matter who disable the patch first, whether the normal
disable_patch() or the module notifier. There is nothing to do
once the patch is disabled.
Alternative solutions:
======================
+ reject new patches when a patched module is coming or going; this is ugly
+ wait with adding new patch until the module leaves the COMING and GOING
states; this might be dangerous and complicated; we would need to release
kgr_lock in the middle of the patch registration to avoid a deadlock
with the coming and going handlers; also we might need a waitqueue for
each module which seems to be even bigger overhead than the boolean
+ stop modules from entering COMING and GOING states; wait until modules
leave these states when they are already there; looks complicated; we would
need to ignore the module that asked to stop the others to avoid a deadlock;
also it is unclear what to do when two modules asked to stop others and
both are in COMING state (situation when two new patches are applied)
+ always register/enable new patches and fix up the potential mess (registered
patches order) in klp_module_init(); this is nasty and prone to regressions
in the future development
+ add another MODULE_STATE where the kallsyms are visible but the module is not
used yet; this looks too complex; the module states are checked on "many"
locations
Example of patch stacking breakage:
===================================
The notifier could _not_ _simply_ ignore already initialized module objects.
For example, let's have three patches (P1, P2, P3) for functions a() and b()
where a() is from vmcore and b() is from a module M. Something like:
a() b()
P1 a1() b1()
P2 a2() b2()
P3 a3() b3(3)
If you load the module M after all patches are registered and enabled.
The ftrace ops for function a() and b() has listed the functions in this
order:
ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1)
ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3,b2,b1)
, so the pointer to b3() is the first and will be used.
Then you might have the following scenario. Let's start with state when patches
P1 and P2 are registered and enabled but the module M is not loaded. Then ftrace
ops for b() does not exist. Then we get into the following race:
CPU0 CPU1
load_module(M)
complete_formation()
mod->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING;
mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);
klp_register_patch(P3);
klp_enable_patch(P3);
# STATE 1
klp_module_notify(M)
klp_module_notify_coming(P1);
klp_module_notify_coming(P2);
klp_module_notify_coming(P3);
# STATE 2
The ftrace ops for a() and b() then looks:
STATE1:
ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1);
ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3);
STATE2:
ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1);
ops_b->func_stack -> list(b2,b1,b3);
therefore, b2() is used for the module but a3() is used for vmcore
because they were the last added.
Example of the race with going modules:
=======================================
CPU0 CPU1
delete_module() #SYSCALL
try_stop_module()
mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING;
mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);
klp_register_patch()
klp_enable_patch()
#save place to switch universe
b() # from module that is going
a() # from core (patched)
mod->exit();
Note that the function b() can be called until we call mod->exit().
If we do not apply patch against b() because it is in MODULE_STATE_GOING,
it will call patched a() with modified semantic and things might get wrong.

When a different user requests a new set of local out-of-band data, then
inform all previous users that the data has been updated. To limit the
scope of users, the updates are limited to previous users. If a user has
never requested out-of-band data, it will also not see the update.

Steffen Klassert says:
====================
pull request (net): ipsec 2015-03-16
1) Fix the network header offset in _decode_session6
when multiple IPv6 extension headers are present.
From Hajime Tazaki.
2) Fix an interfamily tunnel crash. We set outer mode
protocol too early and may dispatch to the wrong
address family. Move the setting of the outer mode
protocol behind the last accessing of the inner mode
to fix the crash.
3) Most callers of xfrm_lookup() expect that dst_orig
is released on error. But xfrm_lookup_route() may
need dst_orig to handle certain error cases. So
introduce a flag that tells what should be done in
case of error. From Huaibin Wang.
Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

reqsk_put() is the generic function that should be used
to release a refcount (and automatically call reqsk_free())
reqsk_free() might be called if refcount is known to be 0
or undefined.
refcnt is set to one in inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add()
As request socks are not yet in global ehash table,
I added temporary debugging checks in reqsk_put() and reqsk_free()

We have many places where we want to check if a socket is
not a timewait or request socket. Use a helper to avoid
hard coding this.
