Zefan Li requested [1] to perform the following cleanup/refactoring:

- Disable module support for cgroupfs bits as the majority of other
cgroupfs subsystems do not have that, and seems to be not wished
from cgroup side. Zefan probably might want to follow-up for netprio
later on.
- By this, code can be further reduced which previously took care of

cgroupfs bits are being placed under net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c, so
that we are consistent with {netclassid,netprio}_cgroup naming that is

netfilter: nf_nat: add full port randomization support
We currently use prandom_u32() for allocation of ports in tcp bind(0)
and udp code. In case of plain SNAT we try to keep the ports as is
or increment on collision.
SNAT --random mode does use per-destination incrementing port
allocation. As a recent paper pointed out in [1] that this mode of
port allocation makes it possible to an attacker to find the randomly
allocated ports through a timing side-channel in a socket overloading
attack conducted through an off-path attacker.
So, NF_NAT_RANGE_PROTO_RANDOM actually weakens the port randomization
in regard to the attack described in this paper. As we need to keep
compatibility, add another flag called NF_NAT_RANGE_PROTO_RANDOM_FULLY
that would replace the NF_NAT_RANGE_PROTO_RANDOM hash-based port
selection algorithm with a simple prandom_u32() in order to mitigate
this attack vector. Note that the lfsr113's internal state is
periodically reseeded by the kernel through a local secure entropy
source.
More details can be found in [1], the basic idea is to send bursts
of packets to a socket to overflow its receive queue and measure
the latency to detect a possible retransmit when the port is found.
Because of increasing ports to given destination and port, further
allocations can be predicted. This information could then be used by
an attacker for e.g. for cache-poisoning, NS pinning, and degradation
of service attacks against DNS servers [1]:
The best defense against the poisoning attacks is to properly
deploy and validate DNSSEC; DNSSEC provides security not only
against off-path attacker but even against MitM attacker. We hope
that our results will help motivate administrators to adopt DNSSEC.
However, full DNSSEC deployment make take significant time, and
until that happens, we recommend short-term, non-cryptographic
defenses. We recommend to support full port randomisation,
according to practices recommended in [2], and to avoid
per-destination sequential port allocation, which we show may be
vulnerable to derandomisation attacks.

net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support
This patch modifies the GRO stack to avoid the use of "network_header"
and associated macros like ip_hdr() and ipv6_hdr() in order to allow
an arbitary number of IP hdrs (v4 or v6) to be used in the
encapsulation chain. This lays the foundation for various IP
tunneling support (IP-in-IP, GRE, VXLAN, SIT,...) to be added later.
With this patch, the GRO stack traversing now is mostly based on
skb_gro_offset rather than special hdr offsets saved in skb (e.g.,
skb->network_header). As a result all but the top layer (i.e., the
the transport layer) must have hdrs of the same length in order for
a pkt to be considered for aggregation. Therefore when adding a new
encap layer (e.g., for tunneling), one must check and skip flows
(e.g., by setting NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->same_flow to 0) that have a
different hdr length.
Note that unlike the network header, the transport header can and
will continue to be set by the GRO code since there will be at
most one "transport layer" in the encap chain.

====================
Add packet capture support on macvtap device
Change from RFC:
- moved to the rx_handler approach.
This series adds support for packet capturing on macvtap device.
The initial approach was to simply export the capturing code as
a function from the core network. While simple, it was not
a very architecturally clean approach.
The new appraoch is to provide macvtap with its rx_handler which can
is attached to the macvtap device itself. Macvlan will simply requeue
the packet with an updated skb->dev. BTW, macvlan layer already does this
for macvlan devices. So, now macvtap and macvlan have almost the
same exact input path.
I've toyed with short-circuting the input path for macvtap by returning
RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER, but that just made the code more complicated and
didn't provide any kind of measurable gain (at least according to
netperf and perf runs on the host).
To see if there was a performance regression, I ran 1, 2 and 4 netperf
STREAM and MAERTS tests agains the VM from both remote host and another
guest on the same system. The command ran was
netperf -H $host -t $test -l 20 -i 10 -I 95 -c -C
The numbers I was getting with the new code were consistently very
slightly (1-2%) better then the old code. I don't consider this
an improvement, but it's not a regression! :)
Running 'perf record' on the host didn't show any new hot spots
and cpu utilization stayed about the same. This was better
then I expected from simply looking at the code.

macvtap: Add support of packet capture on macvtap device.
Macvtap device currently doesn not allow a user to capture
traffic on due to the fact that it steals the packets
from the network stack before the skb->dev is set correctly
on the receive side, and that use uses macvlan transmit
path directly on the send side. As a result, we never
get a change to give traffic to the taps while the correct
device is set in the skb.
This patch makes macvtap device behave almost exaclty like
macvlan. On the send side, we switch to using dev_queue_xmit().
On the receive side, to deliver packets to macvtap, we now
use netif_rx and dev_forward_skb just like macvlan. The only
differnce now is that macvtap has its own rx_handler which is
attached to the macvtap netdev. It is here that we now steal
the packet and provide it to the socket.
As a result, we can now capture traffic on the macvtap device:
tcpdump -i macvtap0
It also gives us the abilit to add tc actions to the macvtap
device and actually utilize different bandwidth management
queues on output.

There are a couple of valid use cases for a minimal low-level bpf asm
like tool, for example, using/linking to libpcap is not an option, the

libpcap's compiler, a filter might be more complex and not cleanly
implementable with libpcap's compiler, particular filter codes should
be optimized differently than libpcap's internal BPF compiler does,
or for security audits of emitted BPF JIT code for prepared set of BPF
instructions resp. BPF JIT compiler development in general.
Then, in such cases writing such a filter in low-level syntax can be
an good alternative, for example, xt_bpf and cls_bpf users might have
requirements that could result in more complex filter code, or one that
cannot be expressed with libpcap (e.g. different return codes in
cls_bpf for flowids on various BPF code paths).
Moreover, BPF JIT implementors may wish to manually write test cases
in order to verify the resulting JIT image, and thus need low-level
access to BPF code generation as well. Therefore, complete the available

filter: bpf_dbg: add minimal bpf debugger
This patch adds a minimal BPF debugger that "emulates" the kernel's
BPF engine (w/o extensions) and allows for single stepping (forwards
and backwards through BPF code) or running with >=1 breakpoints through
selected or all packets from a pcap file with a provided user filter
in order to facilitate verification of a BPF program. When a breakpoint
is being hit, it dumps all register contents, decoded instructions and
in case of branches both decoded branch targets as well as other useful
information.
Having this facility is in particular useful to verify BPF programs
against given test traffic *before* attaching to a live system.
With the general availability of cls_bpf, xt_bpf, socket filters,
team driver and e.g. PTP code, all BPF users, quite often a single
more complex BPF program is being used. Reasons for a more complex
BPF program are primarily to optimize execution time for making a
verdict when multiple simple BPF programs are combined into one in
order to prevent parsing same headers multiple times. In particular,
for cls_bpf that can have various return paths for encoding flowids,
and xt_bpf to come to a fw verdict this can be the case.
Therefore, as this can result in more complex and harder to debug
code, it would be very useful to have this minimal tool for testing
purposes. It can also be of help for BPF JIT developers as filters
are "test attached" to the kernel on a temporary socket thus
triggering a JIT image dump when enabled. The tool uses an interactive
libreadline shell with auto-completion and history support.

Currently TIPC supports two L2 media types, Ethernet and Infiniband.
Because both these media are accessed through the common net_device API,
several functions in the two media adaptation files turn out to be
fully or almost identical, leading to unnecessary code duplication.
In this commit we extract this common code from the two media files
and move them to the generic bearer.c. Additionally, we change
the function names to reflect their real role: to access L2 media,
irrespective of type.

tipc: relocate common functions from media to bearer
Currently, registering a TIPC stack handler in the network device layer
is done twice, once for Ethernet (eth_media) and Infiniband (ib_media)
repectively. But, as this registration is not media specific, we can
avoid some code duplication by moving the registering function to
the generic bearer layer, to the file bearer.c, and call it only once.
The same is true for the network device event notifier.
As a side effect, the two workqueues we are using for for setting up/
cleaning up media can now be eliminated. Furthermore, the array for
storing the specific media type structs, media_array[], can be entirely
deleted.
Note that the eth_started and ib_started flags were removed during the
code relocation. There is now only one call to bearer_setup and
bearer_cleanup, and these can logically not race against each other.
Despite its size, this cleanup work incurs no functional changes in TIPC.
In particular, it should be noted that the sequence ordering of received
packets is unaffected by this change, since packet reception never was
subject to any work queue handling in the first place.

tipc: remove TIPC usage of field af_packet_priv in struct net_device
TIPC is currently using the field 'af_packet_priv' in struct net_device
as a handle to find the bearer instance associated to the given network
device. But, by doing so it is blocking other networking cleanups, such
as the one discussed here:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/178044/
This commit removes this usage from TIPC. Instead, we introduce a new
field, 'tipc_ptr', to the net_device structure, to serve this purpose.
When TIPC bearer is enabled, the bearer object is associated to
'tipc_ptr'. When a TIPC packet arrives in the recv_msg() upcall
from a networking device, the bearer object can now be obtained from
'tipc_ptr'. When a bearer is disabled, the bearer object is detached
from its underlying network device by setting 'tipc_ptr' to NULL.
Additionally, an RCU lock is used to protect the new pointer.
Henceforth, the existing tipc_net_lock is used in write mode to
serialize write accesses to this pointer, while the new RCU lock is
applied on the read side to ensure that the pointer is 100% valid
within its wrapped area for all readers.

Communication media types are abstracted through the struct 'tipc_media',
one per media type. These structs are allocated statically inside their

Furthermore, in order to be able to reach all instances from a central
location, we keep a static array with pointers to these structs. This
array is currently initialized at runtime, under protection of
tipc_net_lock. However, since the contents of the array itself never
changes after initialization, we can just as well initialize it at

net: handle error more gracefully in socketpair()
This patch makes socketpair() use error paths which do not
rely on heavy-weight call to sys_close(): it's better to try
to push the file descriptor to userspace before installing
the socket file to the file descriptor, so that errors are
catched earlier and being easier to handle.
Using sys_close() seems to be the exception, while writing the
file descriptor before installing it look like it's more or less
the norm: eg. except for code used in init/, error handling
involve fput() and put_unused_fd(), but not sys_close().
This make socketpair() usage of sys_close() quite unusual.
So it deserves to be replaced by the common pattern relying on
fput() and put_unused_fd() just like, for example, the one used
in pipe(2) or recvmsg(2).
Three distinct error paths are still needed since calling
fput() on file structure returned by sock_alloc_file() will
implicitly call sock_release() on the associated socket
structure.

mlx4_core: Roll back round robin bitmap allocation commit for CQs, SRQs, and MPTs
Commit f4ec9e9 "mlx4_core: Change bitmap allocator to work in round-robin fashion"
introduced round-robin allocation (via bitmap) for all resources which allocate
via a bitmap.
Round robin allocation is desirable for mcgs, counters, pd's, UARs, and xrcds.
These are simply numbers, with no involvement of ICM memory mapping.
Round robin is required for QPs, since we had a problem with immediate
reuse of a 24-bit QP number (commit f4ec9e9).
However, for other resources which use the bitmap allocator and involve
mapping ICM memory -- MPTs, CQs, SRQs -- round-robin is not desirable.
What happens in these cases is the following:
ICM memory is allocated and mapped in chunks of 256K.
Since the resource allocation index goes up monotonically, the allocator
will eventually require mapping a new chunk. Now, chunks are also unmapped
when their reference count goes back to zero. Thus, if a single app is
running and starts/exits frequently we will have the following situation:
When the app starts, a new chunk must be allocated and mapped.
When the app exits, the chunk reference count goes back to zero, and the
chunk is unmapped and freed. Therefore, the app must pay the cost of allocation
and mapping of ICM memory each time it runs (although the price is paid only when
allocating the initial entry in the new chunk).
For apps which allocate MPTs/SRQs/CQs and which operate as described above,
this presented a performance problem.
We therefore roll back the round-robin allocator modification for MPTs, CQs, SRQs.

This is a long standing regression. But since the patchset is bigger and
the regression happened in 2007, I'm proposing this to net-next instead.
Basically the problem is that if user wants to use /etc/sysctl.conf to specify
default values of neigh related params, he is not able to do that.
The reason is that the default values are copied to dev instance right after
netdev is registered. And that is way to early. The original behaviour
for ipv4 was that this happened after first address was assigned to device.
For ipv6 this was apparently from the very beginning.
So this patchset basically reverts the behaviour back to what it was in 2007 for
ipv4 and changes the behaviour for ipv6 so they are both the same.
