2012-02-24static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and ↵Ingo Molnar4-18/+18
static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

2012-02-22rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocationGreg Rose1-21/+57
Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

2012-02-22neighbour: Fixed race condition at tbl->nhtMichel Machado1-0/+2
When the fixed race condition happens: 1. While function neigh_periodic_work scans the neighbor hash table pointed by field tbl->nht, it unlocks and locks tbl->lock between buckets in order to call cond_resched. 2. Assume that function neigh_periodic_work calls cond_resched, that is, the lock tbl->lock is available, and function neigh_hash_grow runs. 3. Once function neigh_hash_grow finishes, and RCU calls neigh_hash_free_rcu, the original struct neigh_hash_table that function neigh_periodic_work was using doesn't exist anymore. 4. Once back at neigh_periodic_work, whenever the old struct neigh_hash_table is accessed, things can go badly.

2012-02-22sock: Introduce the SO_PEEK_OFF sock optionPavel Emelyanov1-0/+13
This one specifies where to start MSG_PEEK-ing queue data from. When set to negative value means that MSG_PEEK works as ususally -- peeks from the head of the queue always. When some bytes are peeked from queue and the peeking offset is non negative it is moved forward so that the next peek will return next portion of data. When non-peeking recvmsg occurs and the peeking offset is non negative is is moved backward so that the next peek will still peek the proper data (i.e. the one that would have been picked if there were no non peeking recv in between). The offset is set using per-proto opteration to let the protocol handle the locking issues and to check whether the peeking offset feature is supported by the protocol the socket belongs to.

Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().

2012-01-23net: introduce res_counter_charge_nofail() for socket allocationsGlauber Costa1-2/+2
There is a case in __sk_mem_schedule(), where an allocation is beyond the maximum, but yet we are allowed to proceed. It happens under the following condition: sk->sk_wmem_queued + size >= sk->sk_sndbuf The network code won't revert the allocation in this case, meaning that at some point later it'll try to do it. Since this is never communicated to the underlying res_counter code, there is an inbalance in res_counter uncharge operation. I see two ways of fixing this: 1) storing the information about those allocations somewhere in memcg, and then deducting from that first, before we start draining the res_counter, 2) providing a slightly different allocation function for the res_counter, that matches the original behavior of the network code more closely. I decided to go for #2 here, believing it to be more elegant, since #1 would require us to do basically that, but in a more obscure way.

2012-01-10net: introduce netif_addr_lock_nested() and call if when appropriateJiri Pirko1-6/+6
dev_uc_sync() and dev_mc_sync() are acquiring netif_addr_lock for destination device of synchronization. Since netif_addr_lock is already held at the time for source device, this triggers lockdep deadlock warning. There's no way this deadlock can happen so use spin_lock_nested() to silence the warning.

2012-01-08pktgen: set correct max and min in pktgen_setup_inject()Dan Carpenter1-2/+2
In 882716604ec "pktgen: fix multiple queue warning" we added special logic to handle the case where ntxq is zero. It's not clear to me that ntxq can actually be zero. But if it were then we would set ->queue_map_min and ->queue_map_max to USHRT_MAX when probably we want to set them to zero? Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-01-07net: fix sock_clone reference mismatch with tcp memcontrolGlauber Costa1-0/+2
Sockets can also be created through sock_clone. Because it copies all data in the sock structure, it also copies the memcg-related pointer, and all should be fine. However, since we now use reference counts in socket creation, we are left with some sockets that have no reference counts. It matters when we destroy them, since it leads to a mismatch.

2012-01-06security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()Eric Paris1-1/+1
Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective capabilities from the skb that was being received. Today we instead get the capabilities from the current task. This has rendered the entire purpose of the hook moot as it is now functionally equivalent to the capable() call. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-01-04ethtool: Allow drivers to select RX NFC rule locationsBen Hutchings1-1/+10
Define special location values for RX NFC that request the driver to select the actual rule location. This allows for implementation on devices that use hash-based filter lookup, whereas currently the API is more suited to devices with TCAM lookup or linear search. In ethtool_set_rxnfc() and the compat wrapper ethtool_ioctl(), copy the structure back to user-space after insertion so that the actual location is returned.

Add a routine that dumps memory-related values of a socket. It's made as an array to make it possible to add more stuff here later without breaking compatibility. Since v1: The SK_MEMINFO_ constants are in userspace visible part of sock_diag.h, the rest is under __KERNEL__. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
