2011-02-04inetpeer: Move ICMP rate limiting state into inet_peer entries.David S. Miller
Like metrics, the ICMP rate limiting bits are cached state about a destination. So move it into the inet_peer entries. If an inet_peer cannot be bound (the reason is memory allocation failure or similar), the policy is to allow. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-02-04ipv4: Don't miss existing cached metrics in new routes.David S. Miller
Always lookup to see if we have an existing inetpeer entry for a route. Let FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS merely influence the "create" argument to rt_bind_peer(). Also, call rt_bind_peer() unconditionally since it is not possible for rt->peer to be non-NULL at this point. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-02-04r8169: prevent RxFIFO induced loops in the irq handler.Francois Romieu

2011-02-04r8169: RxFIFO overflow oddities with 8168 chipsets.Francois Romieu
Some experiment-based action to prevent my 8168 chipsets locking-up hard in the irq handler under load (pktgen ~1Mpps). Apparently a reset is not always mandatory (is it at all ?). - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_25 Missed ~55% packets. Note: - this is an old SiS 965L motherboard - the 8168 chipset emits (lots of) control frames towards the sender - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_26 The chipset does not go into a frenzy of mac control pause when it crashes yet but it can still be crashed. It needs more work. Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Cc: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Cc: Hayes <hayeswang@realtek.com>
2011-02-04r8169: use RxFIFO overflow workaround for 8168c chipset.Ivan Vecera
I found that one of the 8168c chipsets (concretely XID 1c4000c0) starts generating RxFIFO overflow errors. The result is an infinite loop in interrupt handler as the RxFIFOOver is handled only for ...MAC_VER_11. With the workaround everything goes fine.

2011-02-03net: Fix bug in compat SIOCGETSGCNT handling.David S. Miller
Commit 709b46e8d90badda1898caea50483c12af178e96 ("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 isn't actually used in ipmr_compat_ioctl(). Correct this oversight. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-02-03niu: Fix races between up/down and get_stats.David S. Miller
As reported by Flavio Leitner, there is no synchronization to protect NIU's get_stats method from seeing a NULL pointer in either np->rx_rings or np->tx_rings. In fact, as far as ->ndo_get_stats is concerned, these values are set completely asynchronously. Flavio attempted to fix this using a RW semaphore, which in fact works most of the time. However, dev_get_stats() can be invoked from non-sleepable contexts in some cases, so this fix doesn't work in all cases. So instead, control the visibility of the np->{rx,tx}_ring pointers when the device is being brough up, and use properties of the device down sequence to our advantage. In niu_get_stats(), return immediately if netif_running() is false. The device shutdown sequence first marks the device as not running (by clearing the __LINK_STATE_START bit), then it performans a synchronize_rcu() (in dev_deactive_many()), and then finally it invokes the driver ->ndo_stop() method. This guarentees that all invocations of niu_get_stats() either see netif_running() as false, or they see the channel pointers before ->ndo_stop() clears them out. If netif_running() is true, protect against startup races by loading the np->{rx,tx}_rings pointer into a local variable, and punting if it is NULL. Use ACCESS_ONCE to prevent the compiler from reloading the pointer on us. Also, during open, control the order in which the pointers and the ring counts become visible globally using SMP write memory barriers. We make sure the np->num_{rx,tx}_rings value is stable and visible before np->{rx,tx}_rings is. Such visibility control is not necessary on the niu_free_channels() side because of the RCU sequencing that happens during device down as described above. We are always guarenteed that all niu_get_stats calls are finished, or will see netif_running() false, by the time ->ndo_stop is invoked.

2011-02-02sched: CHOKe flow schedulerstephen hemminger
CHOKe ("CHOose and Kill" or "CHOose and Keep") is an alternative packet scheduler based on the Random Exponential Drop (RED) algorithm. The core idea is: For every packet arrival: Calculate Qave if (Qave < minth) Queue the new packet else Select randomly a packet from the queue if (both packets from same flow) then Drop both the packets else if (Qave > maxth) Drop packet else Admit packet with proability p (same as RED) See also: Rong Pan, Balaji Prabhakar, Konstantinos Psounis, "CHOKe: a stateless active queue management scheme for approximating fair bandwidth allocation", Proceeding of INFOCOM'2000, March 2000.

The change to allow divisor to be a parameter (in 2.6.38-rc1) commit 817fb15dfd988d8dda916ee04fa506f0c466b9d6 introduced a possible deadlock caught by sparse. The scheduler tree lock was left locked in the case of an incorrect divisor value. Simplest fix is to move test outside of lock which also solves problem of partial update.

2011-02-02netfilter: ipset: send error message manuallyJozsef Kadlecsik
When a message carries multiple commands and one of them triggers an error, we have to report to the userspace which one was that. The line number of the command plays this role and there's an attribute reserved in the header part of the message to be filled out with the error line number. In order not to modify the original message received from the userspace, we construct a new, complete netlink error message and modifies the attribute there, then send it. Netlink is notified not to send its ACK/error message. Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
