068c6e98bc [NET] netpoll: break recursive loop in netpoll rx path
The netpoll system currently has a rx to tx path via:

netpoll_rx
 __netpoll_rx
  arp_reply
   netpoll_send_skb
    dev->hard_start_tx

This rx->tx loop places network drivers at risk of inadvertently causing a
deadlock or BUG halt by recursively trying to acquire a spinlock that is
used in both their rx and tx paths (this problem was origionally reported
to me in the 3c59x driver, which shares a spinlock between the
boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit routines).

This patch breaks this loop, by queueing arp frames, so that they can be
responded to after all receive operations have been completed.  Tested by
myself and the reported with successful results.

Specifically it was tested with netdump.  Heres the BZ with details:

f72b948dcb [NET]: skb_find_text ignores to argument
skb_find_text takes a "to" argument which is supposed to limit how
far into the skb it will search for the given text.  At present,
it seems to ignore that argument on the first skb, and instead
return a match even if the text occurs beyond the limit.

Patch below fixes this, after adjusting for the "from" starting
point.  This consequently fixes the netfilter string match's "--to"
handling, which currently is broken.

f54d9e8d7f [NET]: Fix GSO problems in dev_hard_start_xmit()
Fix 2 problems in dev_hard_start_xmit():

1. nskb->next needs to link back to skb->next if hard_start_xmit()
returns non-zero.

2. Since the total number of GSO fragments may exceed MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1,
it needs to stop transmitting if the netif_queue is stopped.

f6a78bfcb1 [NET]: Add generic segmentation offload
This patch adds the infrastructure for generic segmentation offload.
The idea is to tap into the potential savings of TSO without hardware
support by postponing the allocation of segmented skb's until just
before the entry point into the NIC driver.

The same structure can be used to support software IPv6 TSO, as well as
UFO and segmentation offload for other relevant protocols, e.g., DCCP.

7967168cef [NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff
Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP).  So
let's merge them.

They were used to tell the protocol of a packet.  This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field.  This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb.  As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.

I've made gso_type a conjunction.  The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.  All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4.  This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

d4828d85d1 [NET]: Prevent transmission after dev_deactivate
The dev_deactivate function has bit-rotted since the introduction of
lockless drivers.  In particular, the spin_unlock_wait call at the end
has no effect on the xmit routine of lockless drivers.

With a little bit of work, we can make it much more useful by providing
the guarantee that when it returns, no more calls to the xmit routine
of the underlying driver will be made.

The idea is simple.  There are two entry points in to the xmit routine.
The first comes from dev_queue_xmit.  That one is easily stopped by
using synchronize_rcu.  This works because we set the qdisc to noop_qdisc
before the synchronize_rcu call.  That in turn causes all subsequent
packets sent to dev_queue_xmit to be dropped.  The synchronize_rcu call
also ensures all outstanding calls leave their critical section.

The other entry point is from qdisc_run.  Since we now have a bit that
indicates whether it's running, all we have to do is to wait until the
bit is off.

I've removed the loop to wait for __LINK_STATE_SCHED to clear.  This is
useless because netif_wake_queue can cause it to be set again.  It is
also harmless because we've disarmed qdisc_run.

I've also removed the spin_unlock_wait on xmit_lock because its only
purpose of making sure that all outstanding xmit_lock holders have
exited is also given by dev_watchdog_down.

5b057c6b1a [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_pad
First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
the existing one is not shared.  More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
requeueing.

This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
it if needed.  Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
originally created.

Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
TCP, etc.).  As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb.  Because
of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
it's best if we don't do it.

364c6badde [NET]: Clean up skb_linearize
The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised.  So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.

Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.

Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.

Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore.  If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Misc bugs fixed by this patch:

* via-velocity error handling (also, no SG => no frags)

932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

bd89efc532 [NEIGH]: Fix IP-over-ATM and ARP interaction.
The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4 <-> <ATM stuff>
ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The
neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list
of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete()
neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code.

Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two
tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink
go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate
and often wrong.

To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4
ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt
to complete that entry by doing

ip neigh replace <ip address> lladdr <some mac address> nud reachable

Looking at the ARP tables by using 

ip neigh show

will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be
found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp.

This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which
does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to
the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a
check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family.
The init call in clip.c is changed to call
neigh_table_init_no_netlink().

Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be
handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no
functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via
netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr
for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give
neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with
which to find the correct ARP table.

[ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not
  use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock.  Instead we remember that
  we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping
  the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump.

This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu under /net

56079431b6 [NET]: Deinline some larger functions from netdevice.h
On a allyesconfig'ured kernel:

Size  Uses Wasted Name and definition
===== ==== ====== ================================================
   95  162  12075 netif_wake_queue      include/linux/netdevice.h
  129   86   9265 dev_kfree_skb_any     include/linux/netdevice.h
  127   56   5885 netif_device_attach   include/linux/netdevice.h
   73   86   4505 dev_kfree_skb_irq     include/linux/netdevice.h
   46   60   1534 netif_device_detach   include/linux/netdevice.h
  119   16   1485 __netif_rx_schedule   include/linux/netdevice.h
  143    5    492 netif_rx_schedule     include/linux/netdevice.h
   81    7    366 netif_schedule        include/linux/netdevice.h

netif_wake_queue is big because __netif_schedule is a big inline:

static inline void __netif_schedule(struct net_device *dev)
{
        if (!test_and_set_bit(__LINK_STATE_SCHED, &dev->state)) {
                unsigned long flags;
                struct softnet_data *sd;

                local_irq_save(flags);
                sd = &__get_cpu_var(softnet_data);
                dev->next_sched = sd->output_queue;
                sd->output_queue = dev;
                raise_softirq_irqoff(NET_TX_SOFTIRQ);
                local_irq_restore(flags);
        }
}

static inline void netif_wake_queue(struct net_device *dev)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP
        if (netpoll_trap())
                return;
#endif
        if (test_and_clear_bit(__LINK_STATE_XOFF, &dev->state))
                __netif_schedule(dev);
}

By de-inlining __netif_schedule we are saving a lot of text
at each callsite of netif_wake_queue and netif_schedule.
__netif_rx_schedule is also big, and it makes more sense to keep
both of them out of line.

Patch also deinlines dev_kfree_skb_any. We can deinline dev_kfree_skb_irq
instead... oh well.

netif_device_attach/detach are not hot paths, we can deinline them too.

e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain

kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

Just noticed that request_sock.[ch] contain a useless assignment of
rskq_accept_head to itself.  I assume this is a typo and the 2nd one
was supposed to be _tail.  However, setting _tail to NULL is not
needed, so the patch below just drops the 2nd assignment.

f348d70a32 [PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notifications
Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
(and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets.  Since the
existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
places where it makes sense.  The same thing was discussed and conceptually
agreed quite some time ago:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116

Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it.  As far
as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is.  The
pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files.  The other attached diff
is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
definition.

There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:

 http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c

It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.
