wait_event_timeout just takes the numnber of jiffies to wait as an argument. That value does not include jiffies itself. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Frank Blaschka <frank.blaschka@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When a recovery is started for a qeth device, additional invocations to change a mac address, to configure a VLAN interface on top, or to add multicast addresses should wait till recovery is finished, otherwise recovery might fail.

The ipv6 version of bind_conflict code calls ipv6_rcv_saddr_equal() which at times wrongly identified intersections between addresses. It particularly broke down under a few instances and caused erroneous bind conflicts. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Binding to a v4-mapped address on an AF_INET6 socket should produce the same result as binding to an IPv4 address on AF_INET socket. The two are interchangable as v4-mapped address is really a portability aid. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Vlad Yasevich authored
The IPv4 wildcard (0.0.0.0) address does not intersect in any way with explicit IPv6 addresses. These two should be permitted, but the IPv4 conflict code checks the ipv6only bit as part of the test. Since binding to an explicit IPv6 address restricts the socket to only that IPv6 address, the side-effect is that the socket behaves as v6-only. By explicitely setting ipv6only in this case, allows the 2 binds to succeed. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

A socket marked v6-only, can not receive or send traffic to v4-mapped addresses. Thus allowing binding to v4-mapped address on such a socket makes no sense. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch adds the NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag. This flag can be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving ENOBUFS errors. Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things to the listener: a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt(). b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync. In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example: a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a given buffer size. b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization). Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down" effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following: 1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the receiver buffer. 2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0). 3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down. 4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state bit 0 is set off), goto step 1. This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer. You can find some results in [1] that show this problem. [1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/ This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in /proc/net/netlink.

We use RCU to defer freeing of conntrack structures. In DOS situation, RCU might accumulate about 10.000 elements per CPU in its internal queues. To get accurate conntrack counts (at the expense of slightly more RAM used), we might consider conntrack counter not taking into account "about to be freed elements, waiting in RCU queues". We thus decrement it in nf_conntrack_free(), not in the RCU callback.
