2010-12-09filter: use size of fetched data in __load_pointer()Eric Dumazet
__load_pointer() checks data we fetch from skb is included in head portion, but assumes we fetch one byte, instead of up to four. This wont crash because we have extra bytes (struct skb_shared_info) after head, but this can read uninitialized bytes. Fix this using size of the data (1, 2, 4 bytes) in the test.

2010-12-09net: optimize INET input path furtherEric Dumazet
Followup of commit b178bb3dfc30 (net: reorder struct sock fields) Optimize INET input path a bit further, by : 1) moving sk_refcnt close to sk_lock. This reduces number of dirtied cache lines by one on 64bit arches (and 64 bytes cache line size). 2) moving inet_daddr & inet_rcv_saddr at the beginning of sk (same cache line than hash / family / bound_dev_if / nulls_node) This reduces number of accessed cache lines in lookups by one, and dont increase size of inet and timewait socks. inet and tw sockets now share same place-holder for these fields. Before patch : offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x10 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x40 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x60 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x270 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x274 After patch : offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x44 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x48 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x68 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x0 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x4 compute_score() (udp or tcp) now use a single cache line per ignored item, instead of two.

2010-12-09net: Abstract away all dst_entry metrics accesses.David S. Miller
Use helper functions to hide all direct accesses, especially writes, to dst_entry metrics values. This will allow us to: 1) More easily change how the metrics are stored. 2) Implement COW for metrics. In particular this will help us put metrics into the inetpeer cache if that is what we end up doing. We can make the _metrics member a pointer instead of an array, initially have it point at the read-only metrics in the FIB, and then on the first set grab an inetpeer entry and point the _metrics member there.

2010-12-08x25: decrement netdev reference counts on unloadApollon Oikonomopoulos
x25 does not decrement the network device reference counts on module unload. Thus unregistering any pre-existing interface after unloading the x25 module hangs and results in unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 1 This patch decrements the reference counts of all interfaces in x25_link_free, the way it is already done in x25_link_device_down for NETDEV_DOWN events.

2010-12-07dccp: Policy-based packet dequeueing infrastructureTomasz Grobelny
This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of TX packets and provides two policies: * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and * a priority based policy (set via socket options). Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write queue (can be overridden via socket options). The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

2010-12-06filter: add a security check at install timeEric Dumazet
We added some security checks in commit 57fe93b374a6 (filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) to close a potential leak of kernel information to user. This added a potential extra cost at run time, while we can perform a check of the filter itself, to make sure a malicious user doesnt try to abuse us. This patch adds a check_loads() function, whole unique purpose is to make this check, allocating a temporary array of mask. We scan the filter and propagate a bitmask information, telling us if a load M(K) is allowed because a previous store M(K) is guaranteed. (So that sk_run_filter() can possibly not read unitialized memory) Note: this can uncover application bug, denying a filter attach, previously allowed.

The following commit causes the pgv->buffer may point to the memory returned by vmalloc(). And we can't use virt_to_page() for the vmalloc address. This patch introduces a new inline function pgv_to_page(), which calls vmalloc_to_page() for the vmalloc address, and virt_to_page() for the __get_free_pages address. We used to increase page pointer to get the next page at the next page address, after Neil's patch, it is wrong, as the physical address may be not continuous.
