e643df156a tipc: change sk_receive_queue upper limit
The sk_recv_queue upper limit for connectionless sockets has empirically
turned out to be too low. When we double the current limit we get much
fewer rejected messages and no noticable negative side-effects.

9da3d47587 tipc: eliminate aggregate sk_receive_queue limit
As a complement to the per-socket sk_recv_queue limit, TIPC keeps a
global atomic counter for the sum of sk_recv_queue sizes across all
tipc sockets. When incremented, the counter is compared to an upper
threshold value, and if this is reached, the message is rejected
with error code TIPC_OVERLOAD.

This check was originally meant to protect the node against
buffer exhaustion and general CPU overload. However, all experience
indicates that the feature not only is redundant on Linux, but even
harmful. Users run into the limit very often, causing disturbances
for their applications, while removing it seems to have no negative
effects at all. We have also seen that overall performance is
boosted significantly when this bottleneck is removed.

Furthermore, we don't see any other network protocols maintaining
such a mechanism, something strengthening our conviction that this
control can be eliminated.

As a result, the atomic variable tipc_queue_size is now unused
and so it can be deleted.  There is a getsockopt call that used
to allow reading it; we retain that but just return zero for
maximum compatibility.

c008413850 tipc: remove obsolete flush of stale reassembly buffer
Each link instance has a periodic job checking if there is a stale
ongoing message reassembly associated to the link. If no new
fragment has been received during the last 4*[link_tolerance] period,
it is assumed the missing fragment will never arrive. As a consequence,
the reassembly buffer is discarded, and a gap in the message sequence
occurs.

This assumption is wrong. After we abandoned our ambition to develop
packet routing for multi-cluster networks, only single-hop packet
transfer remains as an option. For those, all packets are guaranteed
to be delivered in sequence to the defragmentation layer. Any failure
to achieve sequenced delivery will eventually lead to link reset, and
the reassembly buffer will be flushed anyway.

So we just remove this periodic check, which is now obsolete.

If the initiator and target try to close the connection at about the same

Fix the problem by waiting for the remote termination to complete before

ipv6_sock_mc_close() is called for ipv6 sockets at close time, and most

ce46cc64d4 net: neighbour: prohibit negative value for unres_qlen_bytes parameter
unres_qlen_bytes and unres_qlen are int type.
But multiple relation(unres_qlen_bytes = unres_qlen * SKB_TRUESIZE(ETH_FRAME_LEN))
will cause type overflow when seting unres_qlen. e.g.

$ echo 1027506 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
1182657265
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen_bytes
-2147479756

The gutted value is not that we setting。
But user/administrator don't know this is caused by int type overflow.

what's more, it is meaningless and even dangerous that unres_qlen_bytes is set
with negative number. Because, for unresolved neighbour address, kernel will cache packets
without limit in __neigh_event_send()(e.g. (u32)-1 = 2GB).

The swab32 conversion fixes a bug in myri10ge_led() where

The only remaining warning (lock context imbalance) is due to
the use of __netif_tx_trylock(), and cannot easily be fixed.

4e66ae2ea3 net: dev_change_net_namespace: send a KOBJ_REMOVED/KOBJ_ADD
When a new nic is created in namespace ns1, the kernel sends a KOBJ_ADD uevent
to ns1.  When the nic is moved to ns2, we only send a KOBJ_MOVE to ns2, and
nothing to ns1.

This patch changes that behavior so that when moving a nic from ns1 to ns2, we
send a KOBJ_REMOVED to ns1 and KOBJ_ADD to ns2.  (The KOBJ_MOVE is still
sent to ns2).

The effects of this can be seen when starting and stopping containers in
an upstart based host.  Lxc will create a pair of veth nics, the kernel
sends KOBJ_ADD, and upstart starts network-instance jobs for each.  When
one nic is moved to the container, because no KOBJ_REMOVED event is
received, the network-instance job for that veth never goes away.  This
was reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1065589
With this patch the networ-instance jobs properly go away.

The other oddness solved here is that if a nic is passed into a running
upstart-based container, without this patch no network-instance job is
started in the container.  But when the container creates a new nic
itself (ip link add new type veth) then network-interface jobs are
created.  With this patch, behavior comes in line with a regular host.

v2: also send KOBJ_ADD to new netns.  There will then be a
_MOVE event from the device_rename() call, but that should
be innocuous.

/proc/net/ip[6]_mr_cache allows to get all mfc entries, even if they are put in
the unresolved list (mfc[6]_unres_queue). But only the table RT_TABLE_DEFAULT is

This patch adds the parsing of the unresolved list when the dump is made via
rtnetlink, hence each table can be checked.

In IPv6, we set rtm_type in ip6mr_fill_mroute(), because in case of unresolved
mfc __ip6mr_fill_mroute() will not set it. In IPv4, it is already done.

  of sets by 64 new spare slots, from Jozsef Kadlecsik.

* Partially remove the generic queue infrastructure now that ip_queue
  is gone. Its only client is nfnetlink_queue now, from Florian
  Westphal.

* Add missing attribute policy checkings in ctnetlink, from Florian
  Westphal.

* Automagically kill conntrack entries that use the wrong output
  interface for the masquerading case in case of routing changes,
  from Jozsef Kadlecsik.

* Two patches two improve ct object traceability. Now ct objects are
  always placed in any of the existing lists. This allows us to dump
  the content of unconfirmed and dying conntracks via ctnetlink as
  a way to provide more instrumentation in case you suspect leaks,

Frequency adjustment is performed using hardware with a 24 bit
accumulator and a programmable correction value. On each clk, the
correction value gets added to the accumulator and when it overflows,
the time counter is incremented/decremented and the accumulator reset.

So conversion from ppb to correction value is
	ppb * (1 << 24) / 1000000000

When CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF is disabled, the kernel should follow
RFC4861 section 6.3.6: if no route is NUD_VALID, then traffic should be
sprayed across all routers (indirectly triggering NUD) until one of them
becomes NUD_VALID.

However, the following experiment demonstrates that this does not work:

1) Connect to an IPv6 network.
2) Change the router's MAC (and link-local) address.

The kernel will lock onto the first router and never try the new one, even
if the first becomes unreachable.  This patch fixes the problem by
allowing rt6_check_neigh() to return 0; if all routers return 0, then
rt6_select() will fall back to round-robin behavior.

This patch should have no effect when CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF=y.

Note that rt6_check_neigh() is only used in a boolean context, so I've
changed its return type accordingly.

5d09710925 tun: only queue packets on device
Historically tun supported two modes of operation:
- in default mode, a small number of packets would get queued
  at the device, the rest would be queued in qdisc
- in one queue mode, all packets would get queued at the device

This might have made sense up to a point where we made the
queue depth for both modes the same and set it to
a huge value (500) so unless the consumer
is stuck the chance of losing packets is small.

Thus in practice both modes behave the same, but the
default mode has some problems:
- if packets are never consumed, fragments are never orphaned
  which cases a DOS for sender using zero copy transmit
- overrun errors are hard to diagnose: fifo error is incremented
  only once so you can not distinguish between
  userspace that is stuck and a transient failure,
  tcpdump on the device does not show any traffic

Userspace solves this simply by enabling IFF_ONE_QUEUE
but there seems to be little point in not doing the
right thing for everyone, by default.
