net_sched: return correct value for notify functions

2019-03-13T20:48:27Z

It is confusing to directly use return value of netlink_send()/ netlink_unicast() as the return value of *notify*, as it may be not error at all. Example: in tc_del_tfilter(), after calling tfilter_del_notify(), it will goto errout if (err). However, the netlink_send()/netlink_unicast() will return positive value even for successful case. So it may not call tcf_chain_tp_remove() and so on to clean up the resource, as a result, resource is leaked. It may be easier to only check the return value of tfilter_del_nofiy(), but it is more clean to correct all related functions.

net: sched: using kfree_rcu() to simplify the code

2019-02-19T00:34:51Z

The callback function of call_rcu() just calls a kfree(), so we can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu() + callback function. Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sched: sch_api: set an error msg when qdisc_alloc_handle() fails

2019-02-17T23:39:08Z

This patch sets an error message in extack when the number of qdisc handles exceeds the maximum. Also the error-code ENOSPC is more appropriate than ENOMEM in this situation. Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera Reported-by: Li Shuang Reviewed-by: Stefano Brivio Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sched: extend proto ops to support unlocked classifiers

2019-02-12T18:41:33Z

Add 'rtnl_held' flag to tcf proto change, delete, destroy, dump, walk functions to track rtnl lock status. Extend users of these function in cls API to propagate rtnl lock status to them. This allows classifiers to obtain rtnl lock when necessary and to pass rtnl lock status to extensions and driver offload callbacks. Add flags field to tcf proto ops. Add flag value to indicate that classifier doesn't require rtnl lock. Signed-off-by: Vlad Buslov Acked-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sched: traverse classifiers in chain with tcf_get_next_proto()

2019-02-12T18:41:33Z

All users of chain->filters_chain rely on rtnl lock and assume that no new classifier instances are added when traversing the list. Use tcf_get_next_proto() to traverse filters list without relying on rtnl mutex. This function iterates over classifiers by taking reference to current iterator classifier only and doesn't assume external synchronization of filters list.

net: sched: traverse chains in block with tcf_get_next_chain()

2019-02-12T18:41:32Z

All users of block->chain_list rely on rtnl lock and assume that no new chains are added when traversing the list. Use tcf_get_next_chain() to traverse chain list without relying on rtnl mutex. This function iterates over chains by taking reference to current iterator chain only and doesn't assume external synchronization of chain list. Don't take reference to all chains in block when flushing and use tcf_get_next_chain() to safely iterate over chain list instead. Remove tcf_block_put_all_chains() that is no longer used.

sch_api: Change signature of qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() to use ints

2019-01-19T17:53:18Z

There are now several places where qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() is called with a negative number of packets (to signal an increase in number of packets in the queue). Rather than rely on overflow behaviour, change the function signature to use signed integers to communicate this usage to people reading the code.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

2018-12-27T21:04:52Z

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) New ipset extensions for matching on destination MAC addresses, from Stefano Brivio. 2) Add ipv4 ttl and tos, plus ipv6 flow label and hop limit offloads to nfp driver. From Stefano Brivio. 3) Implement GRO for plain UDP sockets, from Paolo Abeni. 4) Lots of work from Michał Mirosław to eliminate the VLAN_TAG_PRESENT bit so that we could support the entire vlan_tci value. 5) Rework the IPSEC policy lookups to better optimize more usecases, from Florian Westphal. 6) Infrastructure changes eliminating direct manipulation of SKB lists wherever possible, and to always use the appropriate SKB list helpers. This work is still ongoing... 7) Lots of PHY driver and state machine improvements and simplifications, from Heiner Kallweit. 8) Various TSO deferral refinements, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Add ntuple filter support to aquantia driver, from Dmitry Bogdanov. 10) Batch dropping of XDP packets in tuntap, from Jason Wang. 11) Lots of cleanups and improvements to the r8169 driver from Heiner Kallweit, including support for ->xmit_more. This driver has been getting some much needed love since he started working on it. 12) Lots of new forwarding selftests from Petr Machata. 13) Enable VXLAN learning in mlxsw driver, from Ido Schimmel. 14) Packed ring support for virtio, from Tiwei Bie. 15) Add new Aquantia AQtion USB driver, from Dmitry Bezrukov. 16) Add XDP support to dpaa2-eth driver, from Ioana Ciocoi Radulescu. 17) Implement coalescing on TCP backlog queue, from Eric Dumazet. 18) Implement carrier change in tun driver, from Nicolas Dichtel. 19) Support msg_zerocopy in UDP, from Willem de Bruijn. 20) Significantly improve garbage collection of neighbor objects when the table has many PERMANENT entries, from David Ahern. 21) Remove egdev usage from nfp and mlx5, and remove the facility completely from the tree as it no longer has any users. From Oz Shlomo and others. 22) Add a NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR so that drivers can veto the change and therefore abort the operation before the commit phase (which is the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event). From Petr Machata. 23) Add indirect call wrappers to avoid retpoline overhead, and use them in the GRO code paths. From Paolo Abeni. 24) Add support for netlink FDB get operations, from Roopa Prabhu. 25) Support bloom filter in mlxsw driver, from Nir Dotan. 26) Add SKB extension infrastructure. This consolidates the handling of the auxiliary SKB data used by IPSEC and bridge netfilter, and is designed to support the needs to MPTCP which could be integrated in the future. 27) Lots of XDP TX optimizations in mlx5 from Tariq Toukan. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1845 commits) net: dccp: fix kernel crash on module load drivers/net: appletalk/cops: remove redundant if statement and mask bnx2x: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bnx2x_del_all_vlans() on some hw net/net_namespace: Check the return value of register_pernet_subsys() net/netlink_compat: Fix a missing check of nla_parse_nested ieee802154: lowpan_header_create check must check daddr net/mlx4_core: drop useless LIST_HEAD mlxsw: spectrum: drop useless LIST_HEAD net/mlx5e: drop useless LIST_HEAD iptunnel: Set tun_flags in the iptunnel_metadata_reply from src net/mlx5e: fix semicolon.cocci warnings staging: octeon: fix build failure with XFRM enabled net: Revert recent Spectre-v1 patches. can: af_can: Fix Spectre v1 vulnerability packet: validate address length if non-zero nfc: af_nfc: Fix Spectre v1 vulnerability phonet: af_phonet: Fix Spectre v1 vulnerability net: core: Fix Spectre v1 vulnerability net: minor cleanup in skb_ext_add() net: drop the unused helper skb_ext_get() ...

net/sched: Replace call_rcu_bh() and rcu_barrier_bh()

2018-12-01T20:38:46Z

Now that call_rcu()'s callback is not invoked until after bh-disable regions of code have completed (in addition to explicitly marked RCU read-side critical sections), call_rcu() can be used in place of call_rcu_bh(). Similarly, rcu_barrier() can be used in place o frcu_barrier_bh(). This commit therefore makes these changes. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
