a0a4a85a15 fib: remove a useless synchronize_rcu() call
fib_nl_delrule() calls synchronize_rcu() for no apparent reason,

I suspect it was done to avoid an atomic_inc_not_zero() in

564824b0c5 net: allocate skbs on local node
commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of
allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to
the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale
network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit
slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus
have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node.

skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short
lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What
appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one.

In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load,
and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second,
needing all the available cpus.

Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the
small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local'
memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations
done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC
hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

b3d6255388 Phonet: 'connect' socket implementation for Pipe controller
Based on suggestion by Rémi Denis-Courmont to implement 'connect'
for Pipe controller logic,  this patch implements 'connect' socket
call for the Pipe controller logic.
The patch does following:-
- Removes setsockopts for PNPIPE_CREATE and PNPIPE_DESTROY
- Adds setsockopt for setting the Pipe handle value
- Implements connect socket call
- Updates the Pipe controller logic

User-space should now follow below sequence with Pipe controller:-
-socket
-bind
-setsockopt for PNPIPE_PIPE_HANDLE
-connect
-setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENCAP_IP
-setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENABLE

GPRS/3G data has been tested working fine with this.

29b4433d99 net: percpu net_device refcount
We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in
network stack, using RCU conversions.

There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we
create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some
app servers, mmap af_packet)

We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu
infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes
per device.

On x86, dev_hold(dev) code :

after:

d196c9a5d4 dccp: generalise data-loss condition
This patch generalises the task of determining data loss from RFC 4340, 7.7.1.

Let S_A, S_B be sequence numbers such that S_B is "after" S_A, and let
N_B be the NDP count of packet S_B. Then, using modulo-2^48 arithmetic,
 D = S_B - S_A - 1  is an upper bound of the number of lost data packets,
 D - N_B            is an approximation of the number of lost data packets
                    (there are cases where this is not exact).

The patch implements this as
 dccp_loss_count(S_A, S_B, N_B) := max(S_B - S_A - 1 - N_B, 0)

0b53d4604a dccp: fix the adjustments to AWL and SWL
This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno
validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed
once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake.

Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2),
it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first
W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection.

This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time
during the lifetime of a connection.

Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are
updated, as implemented by the patch.

A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window
feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the
feature negotiation has completed.

During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection;
the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct
bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin
feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).

Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by
drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes
are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions),
the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace.
Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

34d101dd62 neigh: speedup neigh_hh_init()
When a new dst is used to send a frame, neigh_resolve_output() tries to
associate an struct hh_cache to this dst, calling neigh_hh_init() with
the neigh rwlock write locked.

Most of the time, hh_cache is already known and linked into neighbour,
so we find it and increment its refcount.

This patch changes the logic so that we call neigh_hh_init() with
neighbour lock read locked only, so that fast path can be run in
parallel by concurrent cpus.

This brings part of the speedup we got with commit c7d4426a98
(introduce DST_NOCACHE flag) for non cached dsts, even for cached ones,
removing one of the contention point that routers hit on multiqueue
enabled machines.

Further improvements would need to use a seqlock instead of an rwlock to
protect neigh->ha[], to not dirty neigh too often and remove two atomic
ops.

There are a bunch of issues that need to be fixed, including:
 - GFP_KERNEL allocations from atomic context
   (and GFP_ATOMIC in process context),
 - abuse of the setsockopt() call convention,
 - unprotected/unlocked static variables...

IMHO, we will need to alter the userspace ABI when we fix it. So mark
the configuration option as EXPERIMENTAL for the time being (or should
it be BROKEN instead?).

03789f2672 Phonet: cleanup pipe enable socket option
The current code works like this:

  int garbage, status;
  socklen_t len = sizeof(status);

  /* enable pipe */
  setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &garbage, sizeof(garbage));
  /* disable pipe */
  setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_DISABLE, &garbage, sizeof(garbage));
  /* get status */
  getsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_INQ, &status, &len);

...which does not follow the usual socket option pattern. This patch
merges all three "options" into a single gettable&settable option,
before Linux 2.6.37 gets out:

  int status;
  socklen_t len = sizeof(status);

  /* enable pipe */
  status = 1;
  setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, sizeof(status));
  /* disable pipe */
  status = 0;
  setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, sizeof(status));
  /* get status */
  getsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, &len);

This also fixes the error code from EFAULT to ENOTCONN.

3d3211ef5c net: netif_set_real_num_rx_queues may cap num_rx_queues at init time
Do not set num_rx_queues in netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() some
drivers will increase the real_num_rx_queues later due to a feature
changes or available interrupts increasing. By setting num_rx_queues
here this ends up creating a cap on the number of rx queues
available.

For example the ixgbe driver sets the max number of queues it intends
to use ever then sets the current number in use with the
netif_set_num_{rx|tx}_queues calls. With the current implementation
the number of rx queues gets limited so when a feature such as DCB
or FCoE is enabled the queues are no longer available.

kobjects will only be allocated for real_num_rx_queues so the waste
in memory is minimal.

9c6d5e5537 TCP: Fix setting of snd_ssthresh in tcp_mtu_probe_success
This looks like a simple typo that has gone unnoticed for some time.  The
impact is relatively low but it's clearly wrong.

767e97e1e0 neigh: RCU conversion of struct neighbour
This is the second step for neighbour RCU conversion.

(first was commit d6bf7817 : RCU conversion of neigh hash table)

neigh_lookup() becomes lockless, but still take a reference on found
neighbour. (no more read_lock()/read_unlock() on tbl->lock)

struct neighbour gets an additional rcu_head field and is freed after an
RCU grace period.

Future work would need to eventually not take a reference on neighbour
for temporary dst (DST_NOCACHE), but this would need dst->_neighbour to
use a noref bit like we did for skb->_dst.

3207390a8b cfg80211: fix BSS double-unlinking
When multiple interfaces are actively trying
to associate with the same BSS, they may both
find that the BSS isn't there and then try to
unlink it. This can cause errors since the
unlinking code can't currently deal with items
that have already been unlinked.

Normally this doesn't happen as most people
don't try to use multiple station interfaces
that associate at the same time too.

Fix this by using the list entry as a flag to
see if the item is still on a list.
