2690048c01 net: igmp: Allow user-space configuration of igmp unsolicited report interval
Adds the new procfs knobs:

    /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/igmpv2_unsolicited_report_interval
    /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/igmpv3_unsolicited_report_interval

Which will allow userspace configuration of the IGMP unsolicited report
interval (see below) in milliseconds.  The defaults are 10000ms for IGMPv2
and 1000ms for IGMPv3 in accordance with RFC2236 and RFC3376.

Background:

If an IGMP join packet is lost you will not receive data sent to the
multicast group so if no data arrives from that multicast group in a
period of time after the IGMP join a second IGMP join will be sent.  The
delay between joins is the "IGMP Unsolicited Report Interval".

Prior to this patch this value was hard coded in the kernel to 10s for
IGMPv2 and 1s for IGMPv3.  10s is unsuitable for some use-cases, such as
IPTV as it can cause channel change to be slow in the presence of packet
loss.

This patch allows the value to be overridden from userspace for both
IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 such that it can be tuned accoding to the network.

Tested with Wireshark and a simple program to join a (non-existent)
multicast group.  The distribution of timings for the second join differ
based upon setting the procfs knobs.

igmpvX_unsolicited_report_interval is intended to follow the pattern
established by force_igmp_version, and while a procfs entry has been added
a corresponding sysctl knob has not as it is my understanding that sysctl
is deprecated[1].

5c6fe01c1f net: igmp: Don't flush routing cache when force_igmp_version is modified
The procfs knob /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/force_igmp_version allows the
IGMP protocol version to use to be explicitly set.  As a side effect this
caused the routing cache to be flushed as it was declared as a
DEVINET_SYSCTL_FLUSHING_ENTRY.  Flushing is unnecessary and this patch
makes it so flushing does not occur.

Requested by Hannes Frederic Sowa as he was reviewing other patches
adding procfs entries.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

5c766d642b ipv4: introduce address lifetime
There are some usecase when lifetime of ipv4 addresses might be helpful.
For example:
1) initramfs networkmanager uses a DHCP daemon to learn network
configuration parameters
2) initramfs networkmanager addresses, routes and DNS configuration
3) initramfs networkmanager is requested to stop
4) initramfs networkmanager stops all daemons including dhclient
5) there are addresses and routes configured but no daemon running. If
the system doesn't start networkmanager for some reason, addresses and
routes will be used forever, which violates RFC 2131.

This patch is essentially a backport of ivp6 address lifetime mechanism
for ipv4 addresses.

Current "ip" tool supports this without any patch (since it does not
distinguish between ipv4 and ipv6 addresses in this perspective.

Also, this should be back-compatible with all current netlink users.

In preparation for supporting the creation of network namespaces
by unprivileged users, modify all of the per net sysctl exports
and refuse to allow them to unprivileged users.

This makes it safe for unprivileged users in general to access
per net sysctls, and allows sysctls to be exported to unprivileged
users on an individual basis as they are deemed safe.

0115e8e30d net: remove delay at device dismantle
I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to
a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues.

These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls.

We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before
kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER.

As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed
device swap on busy dst.

To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called
after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock.

Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care !

Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL

Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after
IP cache removal.

d0daebc3d6 ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8
Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider
packets from that address block martian when routing and do
not process corresponding ARP requests.

This is a sane default but renders a huge address space
practically unuseable.

The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should
ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid
the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in
particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests
behind a load balancer.

This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet'
enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing
of ARP requests on a specific interface.

Note that for the feature to work, the default local route
covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed.

Example:
  $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1
  $ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local
  $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0
  $ ip route flush cache

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

eaddcd7690 bonding: remove entries for master_ip and vlan_ip and query devices instead
The following patch aimed to resolve an issue where secondary, tertiary,
etc. addresses added to bond interfaces could overwrite the
bond->master_ip and vlan_ip values.

        commit 917fbdb32f
        Author: Henrik Saavedra Persson <henrik.e.persson@ericsson.com>
        Date:   Wed Nov 23 23:37:15 2011 +0000

            bonding: only use primary address for ARP

That patch was good because it prevented bonds using ARP monitoring from
sending frames with an invalid source IP address.  Unfortunately, it
didn't always work as expected.

When using an ioctl (like ifconfig does) to set the IP address and
netmask, 2 separate ioctls are actually called to set the IP and netmask
if the mask chosen doesn't match the standard mask for that class of
address.  The first ioctl did not have a mask that matched the one in
the primary address and would still cause the device address to be
overwritten.  The second ioctl that was called to set the mask would
then detect as secondary and ignored, but the damage was already done.

This was not an issue when using an application that used netlink
sockets as the setting of IP and netmask came down at once.  The
inconsistent behavior between those two interfaces was something that
needed to be resolved.

While I was thinking about how I wanted to resolve this, Ralf Zeidler
came with a patch that resolved this on a RHEL kernel by keeping a full
shadow of the entries in dev->ifa_list for the bonding device and vlan
devices in the bonding driver.  I didn't like the duplication of the
list as I want to see the 'bonding' struct and code shrink rather than
grow, but liked the general idea.

As the Subject indicates this patch drops the master_ip and vlan_ip
elements from the 'bonding' and 'vlan_entry' structs, respectively.
This can be done because a device's address-list is now traversed to
determine the optimal source IP address for ARP requests and for checks
to see if the bonding device has a particular IP address.  This code
could have all be contained inside the bonding driver, but it made more
sense to me to EXPORT and call inet_confirm_addr since it did exactly
what was needed.

I tested this and a backported patch and everything works as expected.
Ralf also helped with verification of the backported patch.

Thanks to Ralf for all his help on this.

406b6f974d ipv4: Fallback to FIB local table in __ip_dev_find().
In commit 9435eb1cf0
("ipv4: Implement __ip_dev_find using new interface address hash.")
we reimplemented __ip_dev_find() so that it doesn't have to
do a full FIB table lookup.

Instead, it consults a hash table of addresses configured to
interfaces.

This works identically to the old code in all except one case,
and that is for loopback subnets.

The old code would match the loopback device for any IP address
that falls within a subnet configured to the loopback device.

Handle this corner case by doing the FIB lookup.

We could implement this via inet_addr_onlink() but:

1) Someone could configure many addresses to loopback and
   inet_addr_onlink() is a simple list traversal.

2) We know the old code works.

to remove all routes created for the secondary addresses when
the old primary address is deleted. It does not happen for cases
when the primary address is also in another subnet. Fix that
by deleting local and broadcast routes for all secondaries while
they are on device list and by faking that all addresses from

able to ignore the IPs from the concerned subnet while checking

6c91afe1a9 ipv4: Fix erroneous uses of ifa_address.
In usual cases ifa_address == ifa_local, but in the case where
SIOCSIFDSTADDR sets the destination address on a point-to-point
link, ifa_address gets set to that destination address.

Therefore we should use ifa_local when we want the local interface
address.

There were two cases where the selection was done incorrectly:

1) When devinet_ioctl() does matching, it checks ifa_address even
   though gifconf correct reported ifa_local to the user

2) IN_DEV_ARP_NOTIFY handling sends a gratuitous ARP using
   ifa_address instead of ifa_local.

d11327ad66 arp_notify: unconditionally send gratuitous ARP for NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS.
NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER is an explicit request by the driver to send a link
notification while NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGEADDR generate link
notifications as a sort of side effect.

In the later cases the sysctl option is present because link
notification events can have undesired effects e.g. if the link is
flapping. I don't think this applies in the case of an explicit
request from a driver.

This patch makes NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER unconditional, if preferred we
could add a new sysctl for this case which defaults to on.

This change causes Xen post-migration ARP notifications (which cause
switches to relearn their MAC tables etc) to be sent by default.

323e126f0c ipv4: Don't pre-seed hoplimit metric.
Always go through a new ip4_dst_hoplimit() helper, just like ipv6.

This allowed several simplifications:

1) The interim dst_metric_hoplimit() can go as it's no longer
   userd.

2) The sysctl_ip_default_ttl entry no longer needs to use
   ipv4_doint_and_flush, since the sysctl is not cached in
   routing cache metrics any longer.

3) ipv4_doint_and_flush no longer needs to be exported and
   therefore can be marked static.

When ipv4_doint_and_flush_strategy was removed some time ago,
the external declaration in ip.h was mistakenly left around
so kill that off too.

We have to move the sysctl_ip_default_ttl declaration into
ipv4's route cache definition header net/route.h, because
currently net/ip.h (where the declaration lives now) has
a back dependency on net/route.h

cf7afbfeb8 rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomic
As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes
are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and
one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already
leaving the link behind in a undefined state.

This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions
validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed
to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before
any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to
commit the changes later.

This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient
to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the
validation function method will not be able to detect all error
scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors
depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex
and thus may change between validation and setting.

Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and
config blocks for address families which did not register a set
function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are
returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without
notifying the user.

Implements the AF_INET link address family exposing the per

IFLA_INET_CONF.

The format of IFLA_INET_CONF differs depending on the direction
the attribute is sent. The attribute sent by the kernel consists
of a u32 array, basically a 1:1 copy of in_device->cnf.data[].
The attribute expected by the kernel must consist of a sequence
of nested u32 attributes, each representing a change request,
e.g.
	[IFLA_INET_CONF] = {
		[IPV4_DEVCONF_FORWARDING] = 1,
		[IPV4_DEVCONF_NOXFRM] = 0,

06c4648d46 arp_notify: allow drivers to explicitly request a notification event.
Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the
address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable
faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches
to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a
temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current
conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues
when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use
to explicitly trigger the notification.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
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.

that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with

described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to
communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing.

This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same
interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received).

Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan":
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan

This switch technology is known by different vendor names:
 - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation.
 - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN.
 - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation.
 - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

Indeed. But we dump at most one skb (<= 8192 bytes ?), so rcu_read_lock
holding time is small, unless we meet many netdevices without

[PATCH net-next-2.6] ipv4: speedup inet_dump_ifaddr()

When handling large number of netdevices, inet_dump_ifaddr()
is very slow because it has O(N2) complexity.

Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the NETDEV_HASHENTRIES

a21090cff2 ipv4: arp_notify address list bug
This fixes a bug with arp_notify.

If arp_notify is enabled, kernel will crash if address is changed
and no IP address is assigned.

8d65af789f sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler
It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.

It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

75c78500dd bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:

*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
   dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
   and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. 
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
   table, which might be unnecessary.

The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

9b8adb5ea0 net: Fix devinet_sysctl_forward
sysctls are unregistered with the rntl_lock held making
it unsafe to unconditionally grab the the rtnl_lock.  Instead
we need to call rtnl_trylock and restart the system call
if we can not grab it.  Otherwise we could deadlock at unregistration
time.

1ce85fe402 netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

Some code here depends on CONFIG_KMOD to not try to load

where more than just request_module depends on CONFIG_KMOD
and and also use try_then_request_module in ebtables.
