This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No
generic netlink families except for the controller family
are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by
one and then set the family->netnsok member to true.
A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to
allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace,
for example when it applies to an object that lives in
that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns()
to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects
that do not have an associated netns).
The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast
the message in just init_net, which is currently correct
for all generic netlink families since they only work in
init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all
net namespaces because they do not care about the netns
at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of
the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or
genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns
aware in some way.
After this patch families can easily decide whether or
not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many
genl families us it for objects not related to networking
and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but
that will have to be done on a per family basis.
Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart
problem where network namespaces could be used, genl
families and multicast groups are numbered globally and
I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it
must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces
for those families that do not care about netns.

Over time, a lot of locking issues have crept into
the smarts of cfg80211, so e.g. scan completion can
race against a new scan, IBSS join can race against
leaving an IBSS, etc.
Introduce a new per-interface lock that protects
most of the per-interface data that we need to keep
track of, and sprinkle assertions about that lock
everywhere. Some things now need to be offloaded to
work structs so that we don't require being able to
sleep in functions the drivers call. The exception
to that are the MLME callbacks (rx_auth etc.) that
currently only mac80211 calls because it was easier
to do that there instead of in cfg80211, and future
drivers implementing those calls will, if they ever
exist, probably need to use a similar scheme like
mac80211 anyway...
In order to be able to handle _deauth and _disassoc
properly, introduce a cookie passed to it that will
determine locking requirements.

Not that I expect that we'll have to change the event

Reducing the passive dwell time from 200ms to 125ms should save us

This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing

like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by
default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and
shouldn't be enabled in most kernels.
The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to
identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA
attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the
command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode
multicast group).
I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the
command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement
the testmode command.
Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the
command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use
of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is
currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and
the testmode command only serves as an example of how to
use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the

Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.
Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.
CPU1 CPU2
sys_select receive packet
... ...
__add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt
... ...
tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable
... {
schedule ...
if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
...
}
If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.
Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.
The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.

Using early netconsole and gianfar driver this error pops up:
netconsole: timeout waiting for carrier
It appears that net/core/netpoll.c:netpoll_setup() is using
cond_resched() in a loop waiting for a carrier.
The thing is that cond_resched() is a no-op when system_state !=
SYSTEM_RUNNING, and so drivers/net/phy/phy.c's state_queue is never
scheduled, therefore link detection doesn't work.
I belive that the main problem is in cond_resched()[1], but despite
how the cond_resched() story ends, it might be a good idea to call
msleep(1) instead of cond_resched(), as suggested by Andrew Morton.

Some PHYs require longer timeouts for carrier detection, and
auto-negotiation process may take indefinite amount of time.
It may be inconvenient to force longer timeouts for sane PHYs,
so let's introduce a kernel command line option.
Since we're using module_param(), the option also can be
changed in runtime.

It seems, the current threshold for root resizing is too aggressive,
and it causes misleading warnings during big updates, but it might be
also responsible for memory problems, especially with non-preempt
configs, when RCU freeing is delayed long after call_rcu.
It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during
resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves
so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost
of a minimally longer searching.
This patch restores values before the patch "[IPV4]: fib_trie root

According to this and other similar reports average depth is slightly
increased (~0.2), and root nodes are shorter (log 17 vs. 18), but
there is no visible performance decrease. So, until memory handling is
improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this
patch resets to safer defaults.

There's a bug in addrconf_prefix_rcv() where it won't update the
preferred lifetime of an IPv6 address if the current valid lifetime
of the address is less than 2 hours (the minimum value in the RA).
For example, If I send a router advertisement with a prefix that
has valid lifetime = preferred lifetime = 2 hours we'll build
this address:
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic
valid_lft 7175sec preferred_lft 7175sec
If I then send the same prefix with valid lifetime = preferred
lifetime = 0 it will be ignored since the minimum valid lifetime
is 2 hours:
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic
valid_lft 7161sec preferred_lft 7161sec
But according to RFC 4862 we should always reset the preferred lifetime
even if the valid lifetime is invalid, which would cause the address
to immediately get deprecated. So with this patch we'd see this:
5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:21f:29ff:fe5a:ef04/64 scope global deprecated dynamic
valid_lft 7163sec preferred_lft 0sec
The comment winds-up being 5x the size of the code to fix the problem.
Update the preferred lifetime of IPv6 addresses derived from a prefix
info option in a router advertisement even if the valid lifetime in
the option is invalid, as specified in RFC 4862 Section 5.5.3e. Fixes
an issue where an address will not immediately become deprecated.

This reverts commit 73ce7b01b4.
After discovering that we don't listen to gratuitious arps in 2.6.30
I tracked the failure down to this commit.
The patch makes absolutely no sense. RFC2131 RFC3927 and RFC5227.
are all in agreement that an arp request with sip == 0 should be used
for the probe (to prevent learning) and an arp request with sip == tip
should be used for the gratitous announcement that people can learn
from.
It appears the author of the broken patch got those two cases confused
and modified the code to drop all gratuitous arp traffic. Ouch!

If a socket starts out on a non-TSO route, and then switches to
a TSO route, then we will tack on data to the tail of the tx queue
even if it started out life as non-TSO. This is suboptimal because
all of it will then be copied and checksummed unnecessarily.
This patch fixes this by ensuring that skb->ip_summed is set to
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL before appending extra data beyond the MSS.
