This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast() return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set, netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers should do. This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy. Patrick McHardy can exchange this patch for a beer from me ;).

During peeloff/accept() sctp needs to save the parent socket state into the new socket so that any options set on the parent are inherited by the child socket. This was found when the parent/listener socket issues SO_BINDTODEVICE, but the data was misrouted after a route cache flush.

SCTP incorrectly doubles rto ever time a Hearbeat chunk is generated. However RFC 4960 states: On an idle destination address that is allowed to heartbeat, it is recommended that a HEARTBEAT chunk is sent once per RTO of that destination address plus the protocol parameter 'HB.interval', with jittering of +/- 50% of the RTO value, and exponential backoff of the RTO if the previous HEARTBEAT is unanswered. Essentially, of if the heartbean is unacknowledged, do we double the RTO. Signed-off-by: NVlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This is a new version of my patch, now using a module parameter instead of a sysctl, so that the option is harder to find. Please note that, once the module is loaded, it is still possible to change the value of the parameter in /sys/module/sctp/parameters/, which is useful if you want to do performance comparisons without rebooting. Computation of SCTP checksums significantly affects the performance of SCTP. For example, using two dual-Opteron 246 connected using a Gbe network, it was not possible to achieve more than ~730 Mbps, compared to 941 Mbps after disabling SCTP checksums. Unfortunately, SCTP checksum offloading in NICs is not commonly available (yet). By default, checksums are still enabled, of course.

The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1 byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp. union is used for the additional information so that it can be stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info. Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field depending on the context, optional additional structures) this is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself. TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver doesn't support hardware time stamping. The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing network device drivers which don't support hardware time stamping and know nothing about it: - they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified - the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan() Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe. The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not with the unmodified igb driver (the two drivers this patch series was tested with).

User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping. Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled separately for each field in the message because some of the fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead. User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart and choose what suits its needs. When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket associated with it. The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's start_hard_xmit routine.

Mapping from a struct timecounter to a time returned by functions like ktime_get_real() is implemented. This is sufficient to use this code in a network device driver which wants to support hardware time stamping and transformation of hardware time stamps to system time. The interface could have been made more versatile by not depending on a time counter, but this wasn't done to avoid writing glue code elsewhere.

So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing struct clocksource. The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are * the APIs are clearly related * struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs * avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h? timecounter.h?) As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds * struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles * struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which provides a nanosecond counter * only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally and not exposed to users of timecounter The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds. Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations from spinlocked regions. Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite. Hence we won't get the might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy callsites. Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt(). Now, if someone runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little brain and none of them documented their interface requirements. I have no idea what this patch will do.

With the new system call defines we get this on uml: arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table': (.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask' Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option -Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel. This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask. However sys_sigprocmask is missing because of this. To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.

When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve with VM_NORESERVE. Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed. As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs at the risk of getting killed later. With commit fc8744ad, VM_NORESERVE and VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.
