Davide Libenzi 37e5540b3c epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups
Add support for event-aware wakeups to the sockets code.  Events are
delivered to the wakeup target, so that epoll can avoid spurious wakeups
for non-interesting events.

Eugene Teo 50fee1dec5 net: amend the fix for SO_BSDCOMPAT gsopt infoleak
The fix for CVE-2009-0676 (upstream commit df0bca04) is incomplete. Note
that the same problem of leaking kernel memory will reappear if someone
on some architecture uses struct timeval with some internal padding (for
example tv_sec 64-bit and tv_usec 32-bit) --- then, you are going to
leak the padded bytes to userspace.

David S. Miller 92a0acce18 net: Kill skb_truesize_check(), it only catches false-positives.
A long time ago we had bugs, primarily in TCP, where we would modify
skb->truesize (for TSO queue collapsing) in ways which would corrupt
the socket memory accounting.

skb_truesize_check() was added in order to try and catch this error
more systematically.

However this debugging check has morphed into a Frankenstein of sorts
and these days it does nothing other than catch false-positives.

Clément Lecigne df0bca049d net: 4 bytes kernel memory disclosure in SO_BSDCOMPAT gsopt try #2
In function sock_getsockopt() located in net/core/sock.c, optval v.val
is not correctly initialized and directly returned in userland in case
we have SO_BSDCOMPAT option set.

This dummy code should trigger the bug:

int main(void)
{
	unsigned char buf[4] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
	int len;
	int sock;
	sock = socket(33, 2, 2);
	getsockopt(sock, 1, SO_BSDCOMPAT, &buf, &len);
	printf("%x%x%x%x\n", buf[0], buf[1], buf[2], buf[3]);
	close(sock);
}

Here is a patch that fix this bug by initalizing v.val just after its
declaration.

Eric Dumazet 7035560287 net: release skb->dst in sock_queue_rcv_skb()
When queuing a skb to sk->sk_receive_queue, we can release its dst,
not anymore needed.  Since current cpu did the dst_hold(), refcount is
probably still hot int this cpu caches.

This avoids readers to access the original dst to decrement its
refcount, possibly a long time after packet reception. This should
speedup UDP and RAW receive path.

Eric Dumazet 3ab5aee7fe net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls
RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure :
- sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the
  price of call_rcu() at freeing time.
- hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers.

This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established
and timewait sockets.

Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications
using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting
rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case.

__inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to
dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock)

Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU
(bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking)

Eric Dumazet 271b72c7fa udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.
Goals are :

1) Optimizing handling of incoming Unicast UDP frames, so that no memory
 writes should happen in the fast path.

 Note: Multicasts and broadcasts still will need to take a lock,
 because doing a full lockless lookup in this case is difficult.

2) No expensive operations in the socket bind/unhash phases :
  - No expensive synchronize_rcu() calls.

  - No added rcu_head in socket structure, increasing memory needs,
  but more important, forcing us to use call_rcu() calls,
  that have the bad property of making sockets structure cold.
  (rcu grace period between socket freeing and its potential reuse
   make this socket being cold in CPU cache).
  David did a previous patch using call_rcu() and noticed a 20%
  impact on TCP connection rates.
  Quoting Cristopher Lameter :
   "Right. That results in cacheline cooldown. You'd want to recycle
    the object as they are cache hot on a per cpu basis. That is screwed
    up by the delayed regular rcu processing. We have seen multiple
    regressions due to cacheline cooldown.
    The only choice in cacheline hot sensitive areas is to deal with the
    complexity that comes with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU or give up on RCU."

  - Because udp sockets are allocated from dedicated kmem_cache,
  use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU can help here.

Theory of operation :
---------------------

As the lookup is lockfree (using rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()),
special attention must be taken by readers and writers.

Use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is tricky too, because a socket can be freed,
reused, inserted in a different chain or in worst case in the same chain
while readers could do lookups in the same time.

In order to avoid loops, a reader must check each socket found in a chain
really belongs to the chain the reader was traversing. If it finds a
mismatch, lookup must start again at the begining. This *restart* loop
is the reason we had to use rdlock for the multicast case, because
we dont want to send same message several times to the same socket.

We use RCU only for fast path.
Thus, /proc/net/udp still takes spinlocks.

Peter P Waskiewicz Jr 82cc1a7a56 [NET]: Add per-connection option to set max TSO frame size
Update: My mailer ate one of Jarek's feedback mails...  Fixed the
parameter in netif_set_gso_max_size() to be u32, not u16.  Fixed the
whitespace issue due to a patch import botch.  Changed the types from
u32 to unsigned int to be more consistent with other variables in the
area.  Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree.

Update: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16.  Moved the
location of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath.  Made more
consistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a
define for the max GSO size.

Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree.

Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to
unsigned - thanks Stephen!

This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of
the TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection.  By setting the
netdevice's gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO
frame size based on that value.  This will propogate into the TCP
layer, and send TSO's of that size to the hardware.

This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a
per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices
coexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc.

This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB
TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation
offloading.

Denis V. Lunev edf0208702 [NET]: Make netlink_kernel_release publically available as sk_release_kernel.
This staff will be needed for non-netlink kernel sockets, which should
also not pin a namespace like tcp_socket and icmp_socket.

Laszlo Attila Toth 4a19ec5800 [NET]: Introducing socket mark socket option.
A userspace program may wish to set the mark for each packets its send
without using the netfilter MARK target. Changing the mark can be used
for mark based routing without netfilter or for packet filtering.

It requires CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.

Eric Dumazet 65f7651788 [NET]: prot_inuse cleanups and optimizations
1) Cleanups (all functions are prefixed by sock_prot_inuse)

sock_prot_inc_use(prot) -> sock_prot_inuse_add(prot,-1)
sock_prot_dec_use(prot) -> sock_prot_inuse_add(prot,-1)
sock_prot_inuse()       -> sock_prot_inuse_get()

New functions :

sock_prot_inuse_init() and sock_prot_inuse_free() to abstract pcounter use.

2) if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, we can zap 'inuse' member from "struct proto",
since nobody wants to read the inuse value.

This saves 1372 bytes on i386/SMP and some cpu cycles.
