git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pablo/nf-next Conflicts: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c The conflict had to do with overlapping changes dealing with fixing the use of an "s32" to hold the value returned by NAT_OFFSET(). Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== The following batch contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree. More specifically, they are: * Trivial typo fix in xt_addrtype, from Phil Oester. * Remove net_ratelimit in the conntrack logging for consistency with other logging subsystem, from Patrick McHardy. * Remove unneeded includes from the recently added xt_connlabel support, from Florian Westphal. * Allow to update conntracks via nfqueue, don't need NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK for this, from Florian Westphal. * Remove tproxy core, now that we have socket early demux, from Florian Westphal. * A couple of patches to refactor conntrack event reporting to save a good bunch of lines, from Florian Westphal. * Fix missing locking in NAT sequence adjustment, it did not manifested in any known bug so far, from Patrick McHardy. * Change sequence number adjustment variable to 32 bits, to delay the possible early overflow in long standing connections, also from Patrick. * Comestic cleanups for IPVS, from Dragos Foianu. * Fix possible null dereference in IPVS in the SH scheduler, from Daniel Borkmann. * Allow to attach conntrack expectations via nfqueue. Before this patch, you had to use ctnetlink instead, thus, we save the conntrack lookup. * Export xt_rpfilter and xt_HMARK header files, from Nicolas Dichtel. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-08-19xfrm: choose protocol family by skb protocolHannes Frederic Sowa
We need to choose the protocol family by skb->protocol. Otherwise we call the wrong xfrm{4,6}_local_error handler in case an ipv6 sockets is used in ipv4 mode, in which case we should call down to xfrm4_local_error (ip6 sockets are a superset of ip4 ones). We are called before before ip_output functions, so skb->protocol is not reset.

2013-08-16mac80211: add APIs to allow keeping connections after WoWLANJohannes Berg
In order to be able to (securely) keep connections alive after the system was suspended for WoWLAN, we need some additional APIs. We already have API (ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify) to tell wpa_supplicant about the new replay counter if GTK rekeying was done by the device while the host was asleep, but that's not sufficient. If GTK rekeying wasn't done, we need to tell the host about sequence counters for the GTK (and PTK regardless of rekeying) that was used while asleep, add ieee80211_set_key_rx_seq() for that. If GTK rekeying was done, then we need to be able to disable the old keys (with ieee80211_remove_key()) and allocate the new GTK key(s) in mac80211 (with ieee80211_gtk_rekey_add()). If protocol offload (e.g. ARP) is implemented, then also the TX sequence counter for the PTK must be updated, using the new ieee80211_set_key_tx_seq() function.

2013-08-15net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handlingJesper Dangaard Brouer
commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") broke the "linklayer atm" handling. tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm The linklayer setting is implemented by modifying the rate table which is send to the kernel. No direct parameter were transferred to the kernel indicating the linklayer setting. The commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") removed the use of the rate table system. To keep compatible with older iproute2 utils, this patch detects the linklayer by parsing the rate table. It also supports future versions of iproute2 to send this linklayer parameter to the kernel directly. This is done by using the __reserved field in struct tc_ratespec, to convey the choosen linklayer option, but only using the lower 4 bits of this field. Linklayer detection is limited to speeds below 100Mbit/s, because at high rates the rtab is gets too inaccurate, so bad that several fields contain the same values, this resembling the ATM detect. Fields even start to contain "0" time to send, e.g. at 1000Mbit/s sending a 96 bytes packet cost "0", thus the rtab have been more broken than we first realized.

This patch allows to switch the netns when packet is encapsulated or decapsulated. In other word, the encapsulated packet is received in a netns, where the lookup is done to find the tunnel. Once the tunnel is found, the packet is decapsulated and injecting into the corresponding interface which stands to another netns. When one of the two netns is removed, the tunnel is destroyed.

2013-08-14xfrm: make local error reporting more robustHannes Frederic Sowa
In xfrm4 and xfrm6 we need to take care about sockets of the other address family. This could happen because a 6in4 or 4in6 tunnel could get protected by ipsec. Because we don't want to have a run-time dependency on ipv6 when only using ipv4 xfrm we have to embed a pointer to the correct local_error function in xfrm_state_afinet and look it up when returning an error depending on the socket address family.

2013-08-13ip_tunnel: Do not use inner ip-header-id for tunnel ip-header-id.Pravin B Shelar
Using inner-id for tunnel id is not safe in some rare cases. E.g. packets coming from multiple sources entering same tunnel can have same id. Therefore on tunnel packet receive we could have packets from two different stream but with same source and dst IP with same ip-id which could confuse ip packet reassembly.

2013-08-10net: attempt high order allocations in sock_alloc_send_pskb()Eric Dumazet
Adding paged frags skbs to af_unix sockets introduced a performance regression on large sends because of additional page allocations, even if each skb could carry at least 100% more payload than before. We can instruct sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order allocations. Most of the time, it does a single page allocation instead of 8. I added an additional parameter to sock_alloc_send_pskb() to let other users to opt-in for this new feature on followup patches.

2013-08-10af_unix: improve STREAM behavior with fragmented memoryEric Dumazet
unix_stream_sendmsg() currently uses order-2 allocations, and we had numerous reports this can fail. The __GFP_REPEAT flag present in sock_alloc_send_pskb() is not helping. This patch extends the work done in commit eb6a24816b247c ("af_unix: reduce high order page allocations) for datagram sockets. This opens the possibility of zero copy IO (splice() and friends) The trick is to not use skb_pull() anymore in recvmsg() path, and instead add a @consumed field in UNIXCB() to track amount of already read payload in the skb. There is a performance regression for large sends because of extra page allocations that will be addressed in a follow-up patch, allowing sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order page allocations.

The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors - cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward. The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even indicate it's somehow related to cgroup. We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename them so that they're less awkward. Most per-controller usages of the accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.

2013-08-01ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contentionMichal Kubeček
On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of entries reaches gc_thresh. This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc() doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc() returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after another which blocks them for quite long. Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

2013-07-31cls_cgroup.h netprio_cgroup.h: Remove extern from function prototypesJoe Perches
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
