017dac31dc tipc: Optimize routing of returned payload messages
Reduces the work involved in transmitting a returned payload message
by doing only the work necessary to route such a message directly to
the specified destination port, rather than invoking the code used
to route an arbitrary message to an arbitrary destination.

5e72690038 tipc: Convert fatal broadcast sanity check to non-fatal check
Modifies the existing broadcast link sanity check that detects an
attempt to send a message off-node when there are no available
destinations so that it no longer causes a kernel panic; instead,
the check now issues a warning and stack trace and then returns
without sending the message anywhere.

9720bb3ab0 nl80211: use netlink consistent dump feature for BSS dumps
Use the new consistent dump feature from (generic) netlink
to advertise when dumps are incomplete.

Readers may note that this does not initialize the
rdev->bss_generation counter to a non-zero value. This is
still OK since the value is modified only under spinlock
when the list is modified. Since the dump code holds the
spinlock, the value will either be > 0 already, or the
list will still be empty in which case a consistent dump
will actually be made (and be empty).

670dc2833d netlink: advertise incomplete dumps
Consider the following situation:
 * a dump that would show 8 entries, four in the first
   round, and four in the second
 * between the first and second rounds, 6 entries are
   removed
 * now the second round will not show any entry, and
   even if there is a sequence/generation counter the
   application will not know

To solve this problem, add a new flag NLM_F_DUMP_INTR
to the netlink header that indicates the dump wasn't
consistent, this flag can also be set on the MSG_DONE
message that terminates the dump, and as such above
situation can be detected.

To achieve this, add a sequence counter to the netlink
callback struct. Of course, netlink code still needs
to use this new functionality. The correct way to do
that is to always set cb->seq when a dumpit callback
is invoked and call nl_dump_check_consistent() for
each new message. The core code will also call this
function for the final MSG_DONE message.

To make it usable with generic netlink, a new function
genlmsg_nlhdr() is needed to obtain the netlink header
from the genetlink user header.

9cfaa8def1 udp/recvmsg: Clear MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packet
Consider this scenario: When the size of the first received udp packet
is bigger than the receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC bit is set in msg->msg_flags.
However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will
goto try_again loop to receive the next packet.  But if the size of the
next udp packet is smaller than receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC flag should not
be set, but because MSG_TRUNC bit is not cleared in msg->msg_flags before
receive the next packet, MSG_TRUNC is still set, which is wrong.

Fix this problem by clearing MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a
new packet.

32c90254ed ipv6/udp: Use the correct variable to determine non-blocking condition
udpv6_recvmsg() function is not using the correct variable to determine
whether or not the socket is in non-blocking operation, this will lead
to unexpected behavior when a UDP checksum error occurs.

Consider a non-blocking udp receive scenario: when udpv6_recvmsg() is
called by sock_common_recvmsg(), MSG_DONTWAIT bit of flags variable in
udpv6_recvmsg() is cleared by "flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT" in this call:

    err = sk->sk_prot->recvmsg(iocb, sk, msg, size, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT,
                   flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, &addr_len);

i.e. with udpv6_recvmsg() getting these values:

	int noblock = flags & MSG_DONTWAIT
	int flags = flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT

So, when udp checksum error occurs, the execution will go to
csum_copy_err, and then the problem happens:

    csum_copy_err:
            ...............
            if (flags & MSG_DONTWAIT)
                    return -EAGAIN;
            goto try_again;
            ...............

But it will always go to try_again as MSG_DONTWAIT has been cleared
from flags at call time -- only noblock contains the original value
of MSG_DONTWAIT, so the test should be:

            if (noblock)
                    return -EAGAIN;

This is also consistent with what the ipv4/udp code does.

b7f080cfe2 net: remove mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h
Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually).

To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction"
definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h
via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h".
Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible
on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier.

Hope people are OK with tiny include file.

Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story.

a364c8cf80 dcb: Add dcb_ieee_getapp_mask() for drivers to query APP settings
With multiple APP entries per selector and protocol drivers
or stacks may want to pick a specific value or stripe traffic
across many priorities. Also if an APP entry in use is
deleted the stack/driver may want to choose from the existing
APP entries.

To facilitate this and avoid having duplicate code to walk
the APP ring provide a routine dcb_ieee_getapp_mask() to
return a u8 bitmask of all priorities set for the specified
selector and protocol. This routine and bitmask is a helper
for DCB kernel users.

b6db2174c5 dcb: Add ieee_dcb_setapp() to be used for IEEE 802.1Qaz APP data
This adds a setapp routine for IEEE802.1Qaz encoded APP data types.
The IEEE 802.1Qaz spec encodes the priority bits differently and
allows for multiple APP data entries of the same selector and
protocol. Trying to force these to use the same set routines was
becoming tedious. Furthermore, userspace could probably enforce
the correct semantics, but expecting drivers to do this seems
error prone in the firmware case.

For these reasons add ieee_dcb_setapp() that understands the
IEEE 802.1Qaz encoded form.

314b4778ed net: dcbnl, add multicast group for DCB
Now that dcbnl is being used in many cases by more
than a single agent it is beneficial to be notified
when some entity either driver or user space has
changed the DCB attributes.

Today applications either end up polling the interface
or relying on a user space database to maintain the DCB
state and post events. Polling is a poor solution for
obvious reasons. And relying on a user space database
has its own downside. Namely it has created strange
boot dependencies requiring the database be populated
before any applications dependent on DCB attributes
starts or the application goes into a polling loop.
Populating the database requires negotiating link
setting with the peer and can take anywhere from less
than a second up to a few seconds depending on the switch
implementation.

Perhaps more importantly if another application or an
embedded agent sets a DCB link attribute the database
has no way of knowing other than polling the kernel.
This prevents applications from responding quickly to
changes in link events which at least in the FCoE case
and probably any other protocols expecting a lossless
link may result in IO errors.

By adding a multicast group for DCB we have clean way
to disseminate kernel DCB link attributes up to user
space. Avoiding the need for user space to maintain
a coherant database and disperse events that potentially
do not reflect the current link state.

One tracepoint is added to sock_queue_rcv_skb. It records rcvbuf size

it records limitations of memory for sockets and current usage.

By using these tracepoints we're able to know detailed reason why kernel

and it seems that it is right.

The gateway election mechanism has been a little revised. Now the
gw_election is trigered by an atomic_t flag (gw_reselect) which is set
to 1 in case of election needed, avoding to set curr_gw to NULL.

c6bda689c2 batman-adv: add wrapper function to throw uevent in userspace
Using throw_uevent() is now possible to trigger uevent signal that can
be recognised in userspace. Uevents will be triggered through the
/devices/virtual/net/{MESH_IFACE} kobject.

A triggered uevent has three properties:
- type: the event class. Who generates the event (only 'gw' is currently
  defined). Corresponds to the BATTYPE uevent variable.
- action: the associated action with the event ('add'/'change'/'del' are
  currently defined). Corresponds to the BATACTION uevent variable.
- data: any useful data for the userspace. Corresponds to the BATDATA
  uevent variable.

cc47f66e6b batman-adv: improved roaming mechanism
With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
its connections.

A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
issue.

This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
delay.

a73105b8d4 batman-adv: improved client announcement mechanism
The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.

The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.

It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
 - big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
   connected clients)
 - high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
   OGM losses

The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.

To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.

When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.
