tipc: eliminate two pseudo message types of BUNDLE_OPEN and BUNDLE_CLOSED
The pseudo message types of BUNDLE_CLOSED as well as BUNDLE_OPEN are
used to flag whether or not more messages can be bundled into a data
packet in the outgoing transmission queue. Obviously, no more messages
can be appended after the packet has been sent and is waiting to be
acknowledged and deleted. These message types do in reality represent
a send-side local implementation flag, and are not defined as part of
the protocol. It is therefore safe to move it to to where it belongs,
that is, the control area (TIPC_SKB_CB) of the buffer.

The node subscribe infrastructure represents a virtual base class, so
its users, such as struct tipc_port and struct publication, can derive
its implemented functionalities. However, after the removal of struct
tipc_port, struct publication is left as its only single user now. So
defining an abstract infrastructure for one user becomes no longer

Add minimal runtime PM support (enable on probe, disable on remove), to
ensure proper operation with a parent device that uses runtime PM.
This is needed on systems where the external bus controller module of
the SoC is contained in a PM domain and/or has a gateable functional
clock. In such cases, before accessing any device connected to the
external bus, the PM domain must be powered up, and/or the functional
clock must be enabled, which is typically handled through runtime PM by
the bus controller driver.
An example of this is the kzm9g development board, where an smsc9220
Ethernet controller is connected to the Bus State Controller (BSC) of a

ipvlan: Initial check-in of the IPVLAN driver.
This driver is very similar to the macvlan driver except that it
uses L3 on the frame to determine the logical interface while
functioning as packet dispatcher. It inherits L2 of the master
device hence the packets on wire will have the same L2 for all
the packets originating from all virtual devices off of the same
master device.
This driver was developed keeping the namespace use-case in
mind. Hence most of the examples given here take that as the
base setup where main-device belongs to the default-ns and
virtual devices are assigned to the additional namespaces.
The device operates in two different modes and the difference
in these two modes in primarily in the TX side.
(a) L2 mode : In this mode, the device behaves as a L2 device.
TX processing upto L2 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched after that
into the main device (default-ns) and queued for xmit.
RX processing is simple and all multicast, broadcast (if
applicable), and unicast belonging to the address(es) are
delivered to the virtual devices.
(b) L3 mode : In this mode, the device behaves like a L3 device.
TX processing upto L3 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched to the
main-device (default-ns) for the L2 processing. Hence the routing
table of the default-ns will be used in this mode.
RX processins is somewhat similar to the L2 mode except that in
this mode only Unicast packets are delivered to the virtual device
while main-dev will handle all other packets.
The devices can be added using the "ip" command from the iproute2
package -
ip link add link <master> <virtual> type ipvlan mode [ l2 | l3 ]

tcp: Restore RFC5961-compliant behavior for SYN packets
Commit c3ae62af8e755 ("tcp: should drop incoming frames without ACK
flag set") was created to mitigate a security vulnerability in which a
local attacker is able to inject data into locally-opened sockets by
using TCP protocol statistics in procfs to quickly find the correct
sequence number.
This broke the RFC5961 requirement to send a challenge ACK in response
to spurious RST packets, which was subsequently fixed by commit 7b514a886ba50 ("tcp: accept RST without ACK flag").
Unfortunately, the RFC5961 requirement that spurious SYN packets be
handled in a similar manner remains broken.
RFC5961 section 4 states that:
... the handling of the SYN in the synchronized state SHOULD be
performed as follows:
1) If the SYN bit is set, irrespective of the sequence number, TCP
MUST send an ACK (also referred to as challenge ACK) to the remote
peer:
<SEQ=SND.NXT><ACK=RCV.NXT><CTL=ACK>
After sending the acknowledgment, TCP MUST drop the unacceptable
segment and stop processing further.
By sending an ACK, the remote peer is challenged to confirm the loss
of the previous connection and the request to start a new connection.
A legitimate peer, after restart, would not have a TCB in the
synchronized state. Thus, when the ACK arrives, the peer should send
a RST segment back with the sequence number derived from the ACK
field that caused the RST.
This RST will confirm that the remote peer has indeed closed the
previous connection. Upon receipt of a valid RST, the local TCP
endpoint MUST terminate its connection. The local TCP endpoint
should then rely on SYN retransmission from the remote end to
re-establish the connection.
This patch lets SYN packets through the discard added in c3ae62af8e755,
so that spurious SYN packets are properly dealt with as per the RFC.
The challenge ACK is sent unconditionally and is rate-limited, so the
original vulnerability is not reintroduced by this patch.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-11-20
This series contains updates to ixgbevf, i40e and i40evf.
Emil updates ixgbevf with much of the work that Alex Duyck did while at
Intel. First updates the driver to clear the status bits on allocation
instead of in the cleanup routine, this way we can leave the recieve
descriptor rings as a read only memory block until we actually have
buffers to give back to the hardware. Clean up ixgbevf_clean_rx_irq()
by creating ixgbevf_process_skb_field() to merge several similar
operations into this new function. Cleanup temporary variables within
the receive hot-path and reducing the scope of variables that do not
need to exist outside the main loop. Save on stack space by just
storing our updated values back in next_to_clean instead of using
a stack variable, which also collapses the size the function. Improve
performace on IOMMU enabled systems and reduce cache misses by changing
the basic receive patch for ixgbevf so that instead of receiving the
data into an skb, it is received into a double buffered page. Add
netpoll support by creating ixgbevf_netpoll(), which is a callback for
.ndo_poll_controller to allow for the VF interface to be used with
netconsole.
Mitch provides several cleanups and trivial fixes for i40e and i40evf.
First is a fix the overloading of the msg_size field in the
arq_event_info struct by splitting the field into two and renaming to
indicate the actual function of each field. Updates code comments
to match the actual function. Cleanup several checkpatch.pl warnings
by adding or removing blank lines, aligning function parameters, and
correcting over-long lines (which makes the code more readable).
Shannon provides a patch for i40e to write the extra bits that will
turn off the ITR wait for the interrupt, since we want the SW INT to
go off as soon as possible.
v2: updated patch 07 based on feedback from Alex Duyck by
- adding pfmemalloc check to a new function for reusable page
- moved atomic_inc outside of #if/else in ixgbevf_add_rx_frag()
- reverted the removal of the API check in ixgbevf_change_mtu()

====================
tipc: new netlink API
v3
The old API is not removed.
The new API is separated from the old because of a bug in the old
tipc-config utility using it. When adding commands to the existing
genl_ops struct the get-family response message grows to a point where
it overflows the small receive buffer in tipc-config, subsequently
breaking the tool. Hence the two genl_family and genl_ops structs.
The new headers are placed in a new file called tipc_netlink.h rather
than added to tipc_config.h as they where in previous versions of this
patchset.
/v3
v2
Redesigned "socket list command" to address David Millers comments in
net-next v1 of this patchset.
Simply put the problem is that we can have an arbitrary amount of
sockets with an arbitrary amount of associated publications. In the
previous patchset this was solved by nesting as many publications as
possible into a socket. If all didn't fit it sent the same socket again
with the remaining publications. As David Miller pointed out this makes
each message malformed as the receiver cannot by the data itself know if
it has received a complete set or not. This was flagged outside of the
data and the client did the reassembly.
o socket 1
o publ 1
o publ 2
o socket 1
o publ 3
o publ 4
In this patchset this is divided into socket listing and publication
listing to avoid having nested data of arbitrary size.
TIPC_NL_SOCK_GET now dumps all sockets with any nested connection
information. However, it no longer include publication information,
only a HAS_PUBL flag to indicate whether the socket has publications or
not. To compliment this there is a new command TIPC_NL_PUBL_GET which
takes a socket as argument and dumps all associated publications.
This means that on "top-level" the data is always complete. In the case
of "tipc socket list" (new tipc-config -p) it first queries all sockets
with TIPC_NL_SOCK_GET and if the socket is published it fetches the
publications using TIPC_NL_PUBL_GET. This is slow for large amount of
sockets with a low publication count (worst case). However, the
integrity is preserved and there is no malformed messages.
/v2
This is a new netlink API for TIPC. It's intended to replace the
existing ASCII API. It utilizes many of the standard netlink
functionalities in the kernel, such as attribute nesting and
input polices.
There are a couple of reasons for this rewrite. The main and most
easily justifiable is that the existing API doesn't scale. Meaning
that a TIPC cluster with a larger amount of nodes, publications or
ports will rapidly exceed what the exiting API can handle. Resulting
in truncated or corrupt responses. In addition to this, the existing
ASCII API rarely uses "standard" kernel functions and has several
tipc specific functions for sanity checking and string formating.
The new API utilizes standard function for pushing data to socket
buffers and netlink attribute nesting to logically group data.
The new API can handle an arbitrary amount of data for things that
are likely to scale up as the TIPC usage and/or cluster size
increases.
A new user-space tool has been developed to work with this new API.
It is called "tipc" and is part of the "tipc-utils" package that
comes with many Linux distributions. The new "tipc" tool utilizes
standard functions from libnl to format, send, receive and process
messages. The tool has borrowed design philosophies from git and the
ip tool. Making the syntax resemble that of ip whiles its strong
modularity resembles that of git.
The existing tool for managing TIPC, "tipc-config" remains in the
package, but when built for kernels that has this new API it is
replaced by a script-based wrapper that maps the old syntax to the
new tool. This way, backwards compatibility is mostly preserved.
MORE ABOUT THE CODE
The main challenge here is to handle the case where the data is of
arbitrary size. This was largely neglected in the old API design.
For example when there is a lot of sockets that has a large amount of
associated publications. In this specific case we can't assume that
all ports nor for that matter all the publications can fit inside a
single netlink message. Sending everything in one batch isn't an
option as we need to yield for the socket layer to cope.
This is solved by using the standard netlink callback for dumping
data and releasing the locks when the netlink message is full. The
dumping mechanism gets us back and we keep a reference (logical) to
where we where when the message became full. This means that we are
not "atomic", what is retrieved by user-space isn't a snapshot at a
certain time but rather a continuously updated data set. In the case
where we can't find our way back i.e. our logical reference are gone
we set a standard flag (NLM_F_DUMP_INTR) to tell user-space that the
dump was interrupted.
