2012-01-09net: introduce netif_addr_lock_nested() and call if when appropriateJiri Pirko
dev_uc_sync() and dev_mc_sync() are acquiring netif_addr_lock for destination device of synchronization. Since netif_addr_lock is already held at the time for source device, this triggers lockdep deadlock warning. There's no way this deadlock can happen so use spin_lock_nested() to silence the warning.

2012-01-05net_sched: sfq: extend limitsEric Dumazet
SFQ as implemented in Linux is very limited, with at most 127 flows and limit of 127 packets. [ So if 127 flows are active, we have one packet per flow ] This patch brings to SFQ following features to cope with modern needs. - Ability to specify a smaller per flow limit of inflight packets. (default value being at 127 packets) - Ability to have up to 65408 active flows (instead of 127) - Ability to have head drops instead of tail drops (to drop old packets from a flow) Example of use : No more than 20 packets per flow, max 8000 flows, max 20000 packets in SFQ qdisc, hash table of 65536 slots. tc qdisc add ... sfq \ flows 8000 \ depth 20 \ headdrop \ limit 20000 \ divisor 65536 Ram usage : 2 bytes per hash table entry (instead of previous 1 byte/entry) 32 bytes per flow on 64bit arches, instead of 384 for QFQ, so much better cache hit ratio.

2012-01-03security: Fix security_old_inode_init_security() when CONFIG_SECURITY is not setJan Kara
Commit 1e39f384bb01 ("evm: fix build problems") makes the stub version of security_old_inode_init_security() return 0 when CONFIG_SECURITY is not set. But that makes callers such as reiserfs_security_init() assume that security_old_inode_init_security() has set name, value, and len arguments properly - but security_old_inode_init_security() left them uninitialized which then results in interesting failures. Revert security_old_inode_init_security() to the old behavior of returning EOPNOTSUPP since both callers (reiserfs and ocfs2) handle this just fine. [ Also fixed the S_PRIVATE(inode) case of the actual non-stub security_old_inode_init_security() function to return EOPNOTSUPP for the same reason, as pointed out by Mimi Zohar. It got incorrectly changed to match the new function in commit fb88c2b6cbb1: "evm: fix security/security_old_init_security return code". - Linus ] Reported-by: Jorge Bastos <mysql.jorge@decimal.pt> Acked-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Acked-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-12-26KVM: Don't automatically expose the TSC deadline timer in cpuidJan Kiszka
Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants. This is broken in several ways: - if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break - live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet; breaking it - guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail. Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace. Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID. Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.

2011-12-25netfilter: xtables: add nfacct match to support extended accountingPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the match that allows to perform extended accounting. It requires the new nfnetlink_acct infrastructure. # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic # iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2011-12-25netfilter: add extended accounting infrastructure over nfnetlinkPablo Neira Ayuso
We currently have two ways to account traffic in netfilter: - iptables chain and rule counters: # iptables -L -n -v Chain INPUT (policy DROP 3 packets, 867 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 8 1104 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 - use flow-based accounting provided by ctnetlink: # conntrack -L tcp 6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.1.130 dst=212.106.219.168 sport=58152 dport=80 packets=47 bytes=7654 src=212.106.219.168 dst=192.168.1.130 sport=80 dport=58152 packets=49 bytes=66340 [ASSURED] mark=0 use=1 While trying to display real-time accounting statistics, we require to pool the kernel periodically to obtain this information. This is OK if the number of flows is relatively low. However, in case that the number of flows is huge, we can spend a considerable amount of cycles to iterate over the list of flows that have been obtained. Moreover, if we want to obtain the sum of the flow accounting results that match some criteria, we have to iterate over the whole list of existing flows, look for matchings and update the counters. This patch adds the extended accounting infrastructure for nfnetlink which aims to allow displaying real-time traffic accounting without the need of complicated and resource-consuming implementation in user-space. Basically, this new infrastructure allows you to create accounting objects. One accounting object is composed of packet and byte counters. In order to manipulate create accounting objects, you require the new libnetfilter_acct library. It contains several examples of use: libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-add http-traffic libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-get http-traffic = { pkts = 000000000000, bytes = 000000000000 }; Then, you can use one of this accounting objects in several iptables rules using the new nfacct match (which comes in a follow-up patch): # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic # iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic The idea is simple: if one packet matches the rule, the nfacct match updates the counters.

2011-12-23netfilter: nf_nat: export NAT definitions to userspacePatrick McHardy
Export the NAT definitions to userspace. So far userspace (specifically, iptables) has been copying the headers files from include/net. Also rename some structures and definitions in preparation for IPv6 NAT. Since these have never been officially exported, this doesn't affect existing userspace code.

2011-12-23netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper supportPablo Neira Ayuso
This partially reworks bc01befdcf3e40979eb518085a075cbf0aacede0 which added userspace expectation support. This patch removes the nf_ct_userspace_expect_list since now we force to use the new iptables CT target feature to add the helper extension for conntracks that have attached expectations from userspace. A new version of the proof-of-concept code to implement userspace helpers from userspace is available at: http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/userspace-conntrack-helpers/nf-ftp-helper-POC.tar.bz2 This patch also modifies the CT target to allow to set the conntrack's userspace helper status flags. This flag is used to tell the conntrack system to explicitly allocate the helper extension. This helper extension is useful to link the userspace expectations with the master conntrack that is being tracked from one userspace helper. This feature fixes a problem in the current approach of the userspace helper support. Basically, if the master conntrack that has got a userspace expectation vanishes, the expectations point to one invalid memory address. Thus, triggering an oops in the expectation deletion event path. I decided not to add a new revision of the CT target because I only needed to add a new flag for it. I'll document in this issue in the iptables manpage. I have also changed the return value from EINVAL to EOPNOTSUPP if one flag not supported is specified. Thus, in the future adding new features that only require a new flag can be added without a new revision. There is no official code using this in userspace (apart from the proof-of-concept) that uses this infrastructure but there will be some by beginning 2012.

2011-12-22VFS: Fix race between CPU hotplug and lglocksSrivatsa S. Bhat
Currently, the *_global_[un]lock_online() routines are not at all synchronized with CPU hotplug. Soft-lockups detected as a consequence of this race was reported earlier at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/24/185. (Thanks to Cong Meng for finding out that the root-cause of this issue is the race condition between br_write_[un]lock() and CPU hotplug, which results in the lock states getting messed up). Fixing this race by just adding {get,put}_online_cpus() at appropriate places in *_global_[un]lock_online() is not a good option, because, then suddenly br_write_[un]lock() would become blocking, whereas they have been kept as non-blocking all this time, and we would want to keep them that way. So, overall, we want to ensure 3 things: 1. br_write_lock() and br_write_unlock() must remain as non-blocking. 2. The corresponding lock and unlock of the per-cpu spinlocks must not happen for different sets of CPUs. 3. Either prevent any new CPU online operation in between this lock-unlock, or ensure that the newly onlined CPU does not proceed with its corresponding per-cpu spinlock unlocked. To achieve all this: (a) We introduce a new spinlock that is taken by the *_global_lock_online() routine and released by the *_global_unlock_online() routine. (b) We register a callback for CPU hotplug notifications, and this callback takes the same spinlock as above. (c) We maintain a bitmap which is close to the cpu_online_mask, and once it is initialized in the lock_init() code, all future updates to it are done in the callback, under the above spinlock. (d) The above bitmap is used (instead of cpu_online_mask) while locking and unlocking the per-cpu locks. The callback takes the spinlock upon the CPU_UP_PREPARE event. So, if the br_write_lock-unlock sequence is in progress, the callback keeps spinning, thus preventing the CPU online operation till the lock-unlock sequence is complete. This takes care of requirement (3). The bitmap that we maintain remains unmodified throughout the lock-unlock sequence, since all updates to it are managed by the callback, which takes the same spinlock as the one taken by the lock code and released only by the unlock routine. Combining this with (d) above, satisfies requirement (2). Overall, since we use a spinlock (mentioned in (a)) to prevent CPU hotplug operations from racing with br_write_lock-unlock, requirement (1) is also taken care of. By the way, it is to be noted that a CPU offline operation can actually run in parallel with our lock-unlock sequence, because our callback doesn't react to notifications earlier than CPU_DEAD (in order to maintain our bitmap properly). And this means, since we use our own bitmap (which is stale, on purpose) during the lock-unlock sequence, we could end up unlocking the per-cpu lock of an offline CPU (because we had locked it earlier, when the CPU was online), in order to satisfy requirement (2). But this is harmless, though it looks a bit awkward. Debugged-by: Cong Meng <mc@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

2011-12-21perf events: Add PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES generic PMU eventStephane Eranian
This event counts the number of reference core cpu cycles. Reference means that the event increments at a constant rate which is not subject to core CPU frequency adjustments. The event may not count when the processor is in halted (low power) state. As such, it may not be equivalent to wall clock time. However, when the processor is not halted state, the event keeps a constant correlation with wall clock time.
