Sven Eckelmann e8958dbf0d batman-adv: Use enums for related constants
CodingStyle "Chapter 12: Macros, Enums and RTL" recommends to use enums
for several related constants. Internal states can be used without
defining the actual value, but all values which are visible to the
outside must be defined as before. Normal values are assigned as usual
and flags are defined by shifts of a bit.

Daniele Furlan d1829fa0c3 batman-adv: accept delayed rebroadcasts to avoid bogus routing under heavy load
When a link is saturated (re)broadcasts of OGMs are delayed. Under heavy
load this delay may exceed the orig interval which leads to OGMs being
dropped (the code would only accept an OGM rebroadcast if it arrived
before the next OGM was broadcasted). With this patch batman-adv will
also accept delayed OGMs in order to avoid a bogus influence on the
routing metric.

Eric Dumazet 4b9d9be839 inetpeer: remove unused list
Andi Kleen and Tim Chen reported huge contention on inetpeer
unused_peers.lock, on memcached workload on a 40 core machine, with
disabled route cache.

It appears we constantly flip peers refcnt between 0 and 1 values, and
we must insert/remove peers from unused_peers.list, holding a contended
spinlock.

Remove this list completely and perform a garbage collection on-the-fly,
at lookup time, using the expired nodes we met during the tree
traversal.

This removes a lot of code, makes locking more standard, and obsoletes
two sysctls (inet_peer_gc_mintime and inet_peer_gc_maxtime). This also
removes two pointers in inet_peer structure.

There is still a false sharing effect because refcnt is in first cache
line of object [were the links and keys used by lookups are located], we
might move it at the end of inet_peer structure to let this first cache
line mostly read by cpus.

Jerry Chu 9ad7c049f0 tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open side
This patch lowers the default initRTO from 3secs to 1sec per
RFC2988bis. It falls back to 3secs if the SYN or SYN-ACK packet
has been retransmitted, AND the TCP timestamp option is not on.

It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive
open side, just like its active open counterpart, and uses it, if
valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase.

The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the
beginning of the data transmission phase, and reduces cwnd to 1 if
there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.

Alexander Duyck bff55273f9 v2 ethtool: remove support for ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE
This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as
strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE.  The reason for this change is due to the
fact that multiple issues have been found including:
 - Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed.
 - Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed
 - Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined.
 - Endianess wrong on displayed values.
 - Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited

The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe.  Since it no
longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am
submitting this patch to remove it.

v2:
Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings
 - Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated
 - Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container
 - Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated

Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to
maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just
return ops->set_rx_ntuple().

Shahar Levi f41ccd71d8 mac80211: Stop BA session event from device
Some devices support BT/WLAN co-existence algorigthms.
In order not to harm the system performance and user experience, the device
requests not to allow any RX BA session and tear down existing RX BA sessions
based on system constraints such as periodic BT activity that needs to limit
WLAN activity (eg.SCO or A2DP).
In such cases, the intention is to limit the duration of the RX PPDU and
therefore prevent the peer device to use A-MPDU aggregation.

Adding ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() callback
that can be used by the driver to stop existing BA sessions.

Koki Sanagi ec764bf083 net: tracepoint of net_dev_xmit sees freed skb and causes panic
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared
after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and
skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference.
This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly.

If you want to reproduce this panic,

1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on
2. Create 2 guests on KVM
2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net
4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden

Chris Metcalf 48bdf072c3 ip_options_compile: properly handle unaligned pointer
The current code takes an unaligned pointer and does htonl() on it to
make it big-endian, then does a memcpy().  The problem is that the
compiler decides that since the pointer is to a __be32, it is legal
to optimize the copy into a processor word store.  However, on an
architecture that does not handled unaligned writes in kernel space,
this produces an unaligned exception fault.

The solution is to track the pointer as a "char *" (which removes a bunch
of unpleasant casts in any case), and then just use put_unaligned_be32()
to write the value to memory.

Sven Eckelmann 0bb857511b batman-adv: Check type of x and y in seq_(before|after)
seq_before and seq_after depend on the fact that both sequence numbers
have the same type and thus the same bitwidth. We can ensure that by
compile time checking using a compare between the pointer to the
temporary buffers which were created using the typeof of both
parameters. For example gcc would create a warning like
"warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast".

Antonio Quartulli f5d33d3778 batman-adv: move smallest_signed_int(), seq_before() and seq_after() into main.h
smallest_signed_int(), seq_before() and seq_after() are very useful
functions that help to handle comparisons between sequence numbers.
However they were only defined in vis.c. With this patch every
batman-adv function will be able to use them.

Sven Eckelmann 728cbc6ac1 batman-adv: Use rcu_dereference_protected by update-side
Usually rcu_dereference isn't necessary in situations were the
RCU-protected data structure cannot change, but sparse and lockdep still
need a similar functionality for analysis. rcu_dereference_protected
implements the reduced version which should be used to support the
dynamic and static analysis.
