Bug occurs because __tcp_checksum_complete_user() enables BH, assuming
it is running from softirq context.

Lars trace involved a NIC without RX checksum support but other points
are problematic as well, like the prequeue stuff.

Problem is triggered by a timer, that found socket being owned by user.

tcp_release_cb() should call tcp_write_timer_handler() or
tcp_delack_timer_handler() in the appropriate context :

BH disabled and socket lock held, but 'owned' field cleared,
as if they were running from timer handlers.

<title>tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5e25ba5003ee5de0ba2be56bfd54d16d4b1b028d</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commits 6d36824e730f247b602c90e8715a792003e3c5a7,
  02cf4ebd82ff0ac7254b88e466820a290ed8289a, and parts of
  7eec4174ff29cd42f2acfae8112f51c228545d40 ]

After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being
bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO
packets.

One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic
relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having
big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create
micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the
buffering amount.

This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates
the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so
that we try to send one packet every ms.

This field could be set by other transports.

Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets
makes sense to reach line rate.

For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking.

This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments.

A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the
minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2).

A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using
sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing.

This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current
rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up.

sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt

v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on
initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take
into account tp-&gt;xmit_size_goal_segs

<title>ipv6: do not clear pinet6 field</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f77d602124d865c38705df7fa25c03de9c284ad2</id>
<content type='text'>
We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established()

After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the
check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true.

Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP
and TCP stacks.

Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash
table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field.

This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891
("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc")

TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method
to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field.

At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non
NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race.

Currently, sock_tx_timestamp() always returns 0. The comment that
describes the sock_tx_timestamp() function wrongly says that it
returns an error when an invalid argument is passed (from commit
20d4947353be, ``net: socket infrastructure for SO_TIMESTAMPING'').
Make the function void, so that we can also remove all the unneeded
if conditions that check for such a _non-existant_ error case in the
output path.

<title>net: add option to enable error queue packets waking select</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7d4c04fc170087119727119074e72445f2bb192b</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when a socket receives something on the error queue it only wakes up
the socket on select if it is in the "read" list, that is the socket has
something to read. It is useful also to wake the socket if it is in the error
list, which would enable software to wait on error queue packets without waking
up for regular data on the socket. The main use case is for receiving
timestamped transmit packets which return the timestamp to the socket via the
error queue. This enables an application to select on the socket for the error
queue only instead of for the regular traffic.

-v2-
* Added the SO_SELECT_ERR_QUEUE socket option to every architechture specific file
* Modified every socket poll function that checks error queue

<title>hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators</title>

<content type='text'>
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-&gt;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:

Pull in 'net' to take in the bug fixes that didn't make it into
3.8-final.

Also, deal with the semantic conflict of the change made to
net/ipv6/xfrm6_policy.c   A missing rt6-&gt;n neighbour release
was added to 'net', but in 'net-next' we no longer cache the
neighbour entries in the ipv6 routes so that change is not
appropriate there.

When SOCK_REFCNT_DEBUG is enabled, below build error is met:

kernel/sysctl_binary.o: In function `sk_refcnt_debug_release':
include/net/sock.h:1025: multiple definition of `sk_refcnt_debug_release'

make[1]: *** [kernel/built-in.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2

So we decide to make sk_refcnt_debug_release static to eliminate
the error.
