7c1fd91da5 batman-adv: substitute tt_poss_change with a per-tt_entry flag
tt_poss_change is a node-wide flag which tells whether the node is in a roaming
state (a client recently moved to/away from it) in order to let it apply special
re-routing rules. However this flag does not give a clear idea of the current
state because it is not possible to understand *which client* is actually
involved in the roaming. For this reason a better approach has been chosen:
instead of using a node-wide variable, the roaming state is now given by a
per-tt_entry ROAM flag which, in case of packet coming through the node, tells
the node whether the real destination is in roaming state or not.

With this flag change, batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() has also been rearranged in
order to better fit the new re-routing logic and to be much more readable.

28709878b6 batman-adv: wait multiple periods before activating bla
For some reasons (bridge forward delay, network device setup order, etc)
the initial bridge loop avoidance announcement packets may be lost. This
may lead to problems in finding other backbone gws, and therfore create
loops in the startup time.

Fix this by extending the waiting periods to 3 (define can be changed)
before allowing broadcast traffic.

d807f27287 batman-adv: allow bla traffic only after first worker period
When adding a backbone gateway for the first time, it might not yet
be known in the backbone, and therefore we should not forward
broadcasts yet. This behaviour is the same as when sending a request
to another backbone gw because of a CRC mismatch. The backbone gw
will operate normal after the next periodic bla work.

To avoid loops in the startup phase until the first announcement is

This may happen due to various reasons, e.g. a packet passes the rx

5920cd3a41 packet: tx_ring: allow the user to choose tx data offset

The problem is that, with SOCK_RAW socket, the payload (14 bytes after

This patch allows to let the user gives an offset for it's tx data if
he desires.

Set sock option PACKET_TX_HAS_OFF to 1, then specify in each frame of

3015f3d2a3 pkt_sched: enable QFQ to support TSO/GSO
If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is
violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ
would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures
implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs
with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is,
e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been
proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary
version of this patch.

This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to
proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the
maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the
max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size
than the current value of lmax arrives.

The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class
is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight
sum.

Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if
they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken
from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to
the function slot_insert.

c384ea3ec9 batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messages
In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and
a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously
implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in
order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast
flooding mechanism.
Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in
its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data

56b765b79e htb: improved accuracy at high rates
Current HTB (and TBF) uses rate table computed by the "tc"
userspace program, which has the following issue:

The rate table has 256 entries to map packet lengths
to token (time units).  With TSO sized packets, the
256 entry granularity leads to loss/gain of rate,
making the token bucket inaccurate.

Thus, instead of relying on rate table, this patch
explicitly computes the time and accounts for packet
transmission times with nanosecond granularity.

This greatly improves accuracy of HTB with a wide
range of packet sizes.

Example:

tc qdisc add dev $dev root handle 1: \
        htb default 1

tc class add dev $dev classid 1:1 parent 1: \
        rate 5Gbit mtu 64k

Here is an example of inaccuracy:

$ iperf -c host -t 10 -i 1

With old htb:
eth4:   34.76 Mb/s In  5827.98 Mb/s Out -  65836.0 p/s In  481273.0 p/s Out
[SUM]  9.0-10.0 sec   669 MBytes  5.61 Gbits/sec
[SUM]  0.0-10.0 sec  6.50 GBytes  5.58 Gbits/sec

With new htb:
eth4:   28.36 Mb/s In  5208.06 Mb/s Out -  53704.0 p/s In  430076.0 p/s Out
[SUM]  9.0-10.0 sec   594 MBytes  4.98 Gbits/sec
[SUM]  0.0-10.0 sec  5.80 GBytes  4.98 Gbits/sec

The bits per second on the wire is still 5200Mb/s with new HTB
because qdisc accounts for packet length using skb->len, which
is smaller than total bytes on the wire if GSO is used.  But
that is for another patch regardless of how time is accounted.

Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for review and feedback.

d145f7ec23 tipc: do not use tasklet_disable before tasklet_kill
If tasklet_disable() is called before related tasklet handled,
tasklet_kill will never be finished. tasklet_kill is enough.

94e187c015 ipv6: introduce ip6_rt_put()
As suggested by Eric, we could introduce a helper function
for ipv6 too, to avoid checking if rt is NULL before
dst_release().

b26ddd8130 sctp: Clean up type-punning in sctp_cmd_t union
Lots of points in the sctp_cmd_interpreter function treat the sctp_cmd_t arg as
a void pointer, even though they are written as various other types.  Theres no
need for this as doing so just leads to possible type-punning issues that could
cause crashes, and if we remain type-consistent we can actually just remove the
void * member of the union entirely.

Change Notes:

v2)
	* Dropped chunk that modified SCTP_NULL to create a marker pattern
	 should anyone try to use a SCTP_NULL() assigned sctp_arg_t, Assigning
	 to .zero provides the same effect and should be faster, per Vlad Y.

v3)
	* Reverted part of V2, opting to use memset instead of .zero, so that
	 the entire union is initalized thus avoiding the i164 speculative load
	 problems previously encountered, per Dave M..  Also rewrote
	 SCTP_[NO]FORCE so as to use common infrastructure a little more

398f382c0a pktgen: clean up ktime_t helpers
Some years ago, the ktime_t helper functions ktime_now() and ktime_lt()
have been introduced. Instead of defining them inside pktgen.c, they
should either use ktime_t library functions or, if not available, they
should be defined in ktime.h, so that also others can benefit from them.
ktime_compare() is introduced with a similar notion as in timespec_compare().

e6c022a4fa tcp: better retrans tracking for defer-accept
For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility,
we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers
while no SYNACK is sent.

SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for
which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent
so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into
accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless
retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost)

TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary
retransmits.

Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields :

num_retrans : number of retransmit
num_timeout : number of timeouts

num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout,
regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to
compute the exponential timeout.

Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans
only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded.

Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans
when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN.
Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits.

Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS
only if a synack packet was successfully queued.

c454e6111d tcp-repair: Handle zero-length data put in rcv queue
When sending data into a tcp socket in repair state we should check
for the amount of data being 0 explicitly. Otherwise we'll have an skb
with seq == end_seq in rcv queue, but tcp doesn't expect this to happen
(in particular a warn_on in tcp_recvmsg shoots).

789336360e l2tp: fix oops in l2tp_eth_create() error path
When creating an L2TPv3 Ethernet session, if register_netdev() should fail for
any reason (for example, automatic naming for "l2tpeth%d" interfaces hits the
32k-interface limit), the netdev is freed in the error path.  However, the
l2tp_eth_sess structure's dev pointer is left uncleared, and this results in
l2tp_eth_delete() then attempting to unregister the same netdev later in the
session teardown.  This results in an oops.

To avoid this, clear the session dev pointer in the error path.
