2017-08-11sctp: remove the typedef sctp_cmd_seq_tXin Long
This patch is to remove the typedef sctp_cmd_seq_t, and replace with struct sctp_cmd_seq in the places where it's using this typedef. Note that it doesn't fix many indents although it should, as sctp_disposition_t's removal would mess them up again. So better to fix them when removing sctp_disposition_t in the later patch.

2017-08-10rtnetlink: use rcu_dereference_raw to silence rcu splatFlorian Westphal
Ido reports a rcu splat in __rtnl_register. The splat is correct; as rtnl_register doesn't grab any logs and doesn't use rcu locks either. It has always been like this. handler families are not registered in parallel so there are no races wrt. the kmalloc ordering. The only reason to use rcu_dereference in the first place was to avoid sparse from complaining about this. Thus this switches to _raw() to not have rcu checks here. The alternative is to add rtnl locking to register/unregister, however, I don't see a compelling reason to do so as this has been lockless for the past twenty years or so.

2017-08-09igmp: Fix regression caused by igmp sysctl namespace code.Nikolay Borisov
Commit dcd87999d415 ("igmp: net: Move igmp namespace init to correct file") moved the igmp sysctls initialization from tcp_sk_init to igmp_net_init. This function is only called as part of per-namespace initialization, only if CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is defined, otherwise igmp_mc_init() call in ip_init is compiled out, casuing the igmp pernet ops to not be registerd and those sysctl being left initialized with 0. However, there are certain functions, such as ip_mc_join_group which are always compiled and make use of some of those sysctls. Let's do a partial revert of the aforementioned commit and move the sysctl initialization into inet_init_net, that way they will always have sane values.

2017-08-09tipc: remove premature ESTABLISH FSM event at link synchronizationJon Paul Maloy
When a link between two nodes come up, both endpoints will initially send out a STATE message to the peer, to increase the probability that the peer endpoint also is up when the first traffic message arrives. Thereafter, if the establishing link is the second link between two nodes, this first "traffic" message is a TUNNEL_PROTOCOL/SYNCH message, helping the peer to perform initial synchronization between the two links. However, the initial STATE message may be lost, in which case the SYNCH message will be the first one arriving at the peer. This should also work, as the SYNCH message itself will be used to take up the link endpoint before initializing synchronization. Unfortunately the code for this case is broken. Currently, the link is brought up through a tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) when a SYNCH arrives, whereupon __tipc_node_link_up() is called to distribute the link slots and take the link into traffic. But, __tipc_node_link_up() is itself starting with a test for whether the link is up, and if true, returns without action. Clearly, the tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) call is unnecessary, since tipc_node_link_up() is itself issuing such an event, but also harmful, since it inhibits tipc_node_link_up() to perform the test of its tasks, and the link endpoint in question hence is never taken into traffic. This problem has been exposed when we set up dual links between pre- and post-4.4 kernels, because the former ones don't send out the initial STATE message described above. We fix this by removing the unnecessary event call. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2017-08-09sunvdc: prevent sunvdc panic when mpgroup disk added to guest domainJim Quigley
Using mpgroup to define multiple paths for a virtual disk causes multiple virtual-device-port ports to be created for that virtual device. Each virtual-device-port port then gets a vdisk created for it by the Linux sunvdc driver. As mpgroup is not supported by the Linux sunvdc driver it cannot handle multiple ports for a single vdisk, leading to a kernel panic at startup. This fix prevents more than one vdisk per virtual-device-port being created until full virtual disk multipathing (mpgroup) support is implemented.

Florian Westphal says: ==================== rtnetlink: allow selected handlers to run without rtnl Changes since v1: In patch 6, don't make ipv6 route handlers lockless, they all have assumptions on rtnl being held. Other patches are unchanged. The RTNL mutex is used to serialize both rtnetlink calls and dump requests. Its also used to protect other things such as the list of current net namespaces. Unfortunately RTNL mutex is a performance issue, e.g. a cpu adding an ip address prevents other cpus from seemingly unrelated tasks such as dumping tc classifiers or doing rtnetlink route lookups. This patch set adds basic infrastructure to start pushing the rtnl lock down to those places that need it, or even elide it entirely in some cases. Subsystems can now indicate that their doit() callback can run without RTNL mutex, such callbacks can then run in parallel. This will obviously need a lot of followup work; all current users need to be audited/changed to benefit from this. Initial no-rtnl spot is netns new/getid. We have various 'get' handlers that are also a tempting target, however, several of these depend on rtnl mutex to prevent information from changing while objects are being read by rtnl handlers; however, it doesn't appear impossible to change this. Dumps are another problem entirely, see commit 2907c35ff64708065 ("net: hold rtnl again in dump callbacks"), this patchset doesn't touch dump requests. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-08-09rtnetlink: small rtnl lock pushdownFlorian Westphal
instead of rtnl lock/unload at the top level, push it down to the called function. This is just an intermediate step, next commit switches protection of the rtnl_link ops table to rcu, in which case (for dumps) the rtnl lock is acquired only by the netlink dumper infrastructure (current lock/unlock/dump/lock/unlock rtnl sequence becomes rcu lock/rcu unlock/dump).

2017-08-09rtnetlink: add reference counting to prevent module unload while dump is in ↵Florian Westphal
progress I don't see what prevents rmmod (unregister_all is called) while a dump is active. Even if we'd add rtnl lock/unlock pair to unregister_all (as done here), thats not enough either as rtnl_lock is released right before the dump process starts. So this adds a refcount: * acquire rtnl mutex * bump refcount * release mutex * start the dump ... and make unregister_all remove the callbacks (no new dumps possible) and then wait until refcount is 0.

2017-08-09rtnetlink: make rtnl_register accept a flags parameterFlorian Westphal
This change allows us to later indicate to rtnetlink core that certain doit functions should be called without acquiring rtnl_mutex. This change should have no effect, we simply replace the last (now unused) calcit argument with the new flag.
