Joe Perches 058bd4d2a4 net: Convert printks to pr_<level>
Use a more current kernel messaging style.

Convert a printk block to print_hex_dump.
Coalesce formats, align arguments.
Use %s, __func__ instead of embedding function names.

Some messages that were prefixed with <foo>_close are
now prefixed with <foo>_fini.  Some ah4 and esp messages
are now not prefixed with "ip ".

The intent of this patch is to later add something like
  #define pr_fmt(fmt) "IPv4: " fmt.
to standardize the output messages.

Text size is trivially reduced. (x86-32 allyesconfig)

$ size net/ipv4/built-in.o*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

Eric Dumazet cf778b00e9 net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls
commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).

We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.

Greg Rose c7ac8679be rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump size
The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
a single page.  This is not enough for additional interface info
available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
40 VFs were created per interface.

Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
enough data to satisfy the request.

Commit 709b46e8d9 ("net: Add compat
ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNT") added the
correct plumbing to handle SIOCGETSGCNT properly.

However, whilst definiting a proper "struct compat_sioc_sg_req" it

Correct this oversight.

Eric W. Biederman 709b46e8d9 net: Add compat ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNT
SIOCGETSGCNT is not a unique ioctl value as it it maps tio SIOCPROTOPRIVATE +1,
which unfortunately means the existing infrastructure for compat networking
ioctls is insufficient.  A trivial compact ioctl implementation would conflict
with:

SIOCAX25ADDUID
SIOCAIPXPRISLT
SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6
SIOCGETSGCNT
SIOCRSSCAUSE
SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP
SIOCX25SDTEFACILITIES

To make this work I have updated the compat_ioctl decode path to mirror the
the normal ioctl decode path.  I have added an ipv4 inet_compat_ioctl function
so that I can have ipv4 specific compat ioctls.   I have added a compat_ioctl
function into struct proto so I can break out ioctls by which kind of ip socket
I am using.  I have added a compat_raw_ioctl function because SIOCGETSGCNT only
works on raw sockets.  I have added a ipmr_compat_ioctl that mirrors the normal
ipmr_ioctl.

This was necessary because unfortunately the struct layout for the SIOCGETSGCNT
has unsigned longs in it so changes between 32bit and 64bit kernels.

This change was sufficient to run a 32bit ip multicast routing daemon on a
64bit kernel.

Andreas Meissner bbd725435d IPv4: unresolved multicast route cleanup
Fixes the expiration timer for unresolved multicast route entries.
In case new multicast routing requests come in faster than the 
expiration timeout occurs (e.g. zap through multicast TV streams), the 
timer is prevented from being called at time for already existing entries.

As the single timer is resetted to default whenever a new entry is made, 
the timeout for existing unresolved entires are missed and/or not 
updated. As a consequence new requests are denied when the limit of 
unresolved entries has been reached because old entries live longer than 
they are supposed to.

The solution is to reset the timer only for the first unresolved entry 
in the multicast routing cache. All other timers are already set and 
updated correctly within the timer function itself by now.

Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to

without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.

This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
without breaking compatibility.

This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
above that may be used arbitrarily.

Patrick McHardy 8de53dfbf9 ipv4: ipmr: fix NULL pointer deref during unres queue destruction
Fix an oversight in ipmr_destroy_unres() - the net pointer is
unconditionally initialized to NULL, resulting in a NULL pointer
dereference later on.

Fix by adding a net pointer to struct mr_table and using it in
ipmr_destroy_unres().

Patrick McHardy b0ebb739a8 ipv4: ipmr: fix invalid cache resolving when adding a non-matching entry
The patch to convert struct mfc_cache to list_heads (ipv4: ipmr: convert
struct mfc_cache to struct list_head) introduced a bug when adding new
cache entries that don't match any unresolved entries.

The unres queue is searched for a matching entry, which is then resolved.
When no matching entry is present, the iterator points to the head of the
list, but is treated as a matching entry. Use a seperate variable to
indicate that a matching entry was found.

Patrick McHardy f0ad0860d0 ipv4: ipmr: support multiple tables
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances,
named "tables".

Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by
issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT_TABLE. The table number is
stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ipmr setsockopt(),
getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT_TABLE_DEFAULT)
is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pimreg
devices have the table number appended ("pimregX"), with the exception of
devices created in the default table, which are named just "pimreg" for
compatibility reasons.

Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules,
similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark
are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported
additionally.

Example usage:

- bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table:

uint32_t table = 123;
setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table));

- create routing rules directing packets to the new table:

# ip mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123
# ip mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123
