2c1409a0a2 inetpeer: Optimize inet_getid()
While investigating for network latencies, I found inet_getid() was a
contention point for some workloads, as inet_peer_idlock is shared
by all inet_getid() users regardless of peers.

One way to fix this is to make ip_id_count an atomic_t instead
of __u16, and use atomic_add_return().

In order to keep sizeof(struct inet_peer) = 64 on 64bit arches
tcp_ts_stamp is also converted to __u32 instead of "unsigned long".

Indeed. But we dump at most one skb (<= 8192 bytes ?), so rcu_read_lock
holding time is small, unless we meet many netdevices without
addresses. I wonder if its really common...

Thanks

[PATCH net-next-2.6] ipv4: speedup inet_dump_ifaddr()

When handling large number of netdevices, inet_dump_ifaddr()
is very slow because it has O(N2) complexity.

Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the NETDEV_HASHENTRIES
sub lists of the dev_index hash table, and RCU lookups.

d792c1006f tcp: provide more information on the tcp receive_queue bugs
The addition of rcv_nxt allows to discern whether the skb
was out of place or tp->copied. Also catch fancy combination
of flags if necessary (sadly we might miss the actual causer
flags as it might have already returned).

Btw, we perhaps would want to forward copied_seq in
somewhere or otherwise we might have some nice loop with
WARN stuff within but where to do that safely I don't
know at this stage until more is known (but it is not
made significantly worse by this patch).

1240d1373c ipv4: udp: Optimise multicast reception
UDP multicast rx path is a bit complex and can hold a spinlock
for a long time.

Using a small (32 or 64 entries) stack of socket pointers can help
to perform expensive operations (skb_clone(), udp_queue_rcv_skb())
outside of the lock, in most cases.

It's also a base for a future RCU conversion of multicast recption.

5051ebd275 ipv4: udp: optimize unicast RX path
We first locate the (local port) hash chain head
If few sockets are in this chain, we proceed with previous lookup algo.

If too many sockets are listed, we take a look at the secondary
(port, address) hash chain we added in previous patch.

We choose the shortest chain and proceed with a RCU lookup on the elected chain.

But, if we chose (port, address) chain, and fail to find a socket on given address,
 we must try another lookup on (port, INADDR_ANY) chain to find socket not bound
to a particular IP.

-> No extra cost for typical setups, where the first lookup will probabbly
be performed.

RCU lookups everywhere, we dont acquire spinlock.

512615b6b8 udp: secondary hash on (local port, local address)
Extends udp_table to contain a secondary hash table.

socket anchor for this second hash is free, because UDP
doesnt use skc_bind_node : We define an union to hold
both skc_bind_node & a new hlist_nulls_node udp_portaddr_node

udp_lib_get_port() inserts sockets into second hash chain
(additional cost of one atomic op)

udp_lib_unhash() deletes socket from second hash chain
(additional cost of one atomic op)

Note : No spinlock lockdep annotation is needed, because
lock for the secondary hash chain is always get after
lock for primary hash chain.

81adee47df net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

23ca0c989e ipip: Fix handling of DF packets when pmtudisc is OFF
RFC 2003 requires the outer header to have DF set if DF is set
on the inner header, even when PMTU discovery is off for the
tunnel.  Our implementation does exactly that.

For this to work properly the IPIP gateway also needs to engate
in PMTU when the inner DF bit is set.  As otherwise the original
host would not be able to carry out its PMTU successfully since
part of the path is only visible to the gateway.

Unfortunately when the tunnel PMTU discovery setting is off, we
do not collect the necessary soft state, resulting in blackholes
when the original host tries to perform PMTU discovery.

This problem is not reproducible on the IPIP gateway itself as
the inner packet usually has skb->local_df set.  This is not
correctly cleared (an unrelated bug) when the packet passes
through the tunnel, which allows fragmentation to occur.  For
hosts behind the IPIP gateway it is readily visible with a simple
ping.

This patch fixes the problem by performing PMTU discovery for
all packets with the inner DF bit set, regardless of the PMTU
discovery setting on the tunnel itself.

f9dd09c7f7 netfilter: nf_nat: fix NAT issue in 2.6.30.4+
Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e36).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.

The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

55888dfb6b AF_RAW: Augment raw_send_hdrinc to expand skb to fit iphdr->ihl (v2)
Augment raw_send_hdrinc to correct for incorrect ip header length values

A series of oopses was reported to me recently.  Apparently when using AF_RAW
sockets to send data to peers that were reachable via ipsec encapsulation,
people could panic or BUG halt their systems.

I've tracked the problem down to user space sending an invalid ip header over an
AF_RAW socket with IP_HDRINCL set to 1.

Basically what happens is that userspace sends down an ip frame that includes
only the header (no data), but sets the ip header ihl value to a large number,
one that is larger than the total amount of data passed to the sendmsg call.  In
raw_send_hdrincl, we allocate an skb based on the size of the data in the msghdr
that was passed in, but assume the data is all valid.  Later during ipsec
encapsulation, xfrm4_tranport_output moves the entire frame back in the skbuff
to provide headroom for the ipsec headers.  During this operation, the
skb->transport_header is repointed to a spot computed by
skb->network_header + the ip header length (ihl).  Since so little data was
passed in relative to the value of ihl provided by the raw socket, we point
transport header to an unknown location, resulting in various crashes.

This fix for this is pretty straightforward, simply validate the value of of
iph->ihl when sending over a raw socket.  If (iph->ihl*4U) > user data buffer
size, drop the frame and return -EINVAL.  I just confirmed this fixes the
reported crashes.
