Pull networking changes from David Miller: 1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded goto. 2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul Gortmaker. 3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from Eric Dumazet. 4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard Cochran and Jacob Keller. 5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via ethtool, from Richard Cochran. 6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko. Part of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets, and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one. 7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it completely but it's used for ISA probing still. 8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc. I know, who cares, right? :-) 9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability mode interfaces in the sysctl code. From Eric W Biederman. 10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE. There is also a TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options enabled on the connection. 11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly. a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page(). b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather than SLAB kmalloc'd memory. In particular devices which were receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged data. The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy any more. 12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP. What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer space. sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case, so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former. Also from Eric Dumazet. 13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and Chris Elston. 14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng. Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack threshold under certain conditions. 15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht. Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than the queue length (which is what RED uses). * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1341 commits) drivers/net/stmmac: seq_file fix memory leak ipv6/exthdrs: strict Pad1 and PadN check USB: qmi_wwan: Add ZTE (Vodafone) K3520-Z USB: qmi_wwan: Add ZTE (Vodafone) K3765-Z USB: qmi_wwan: Make forced int 4 whitelist generic net/ipv4: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul net/ipv4/ipconfig: neaten __setup placement net: qmi_wwan: Add Vodafone/Huawei K5005 support net: cdc_ether: Add ZTE WWAN matches before generic Ethernet ipv6: use skb coalescing in reassembly ipv4: use skb coalescing in defragmentation net: introduce skb_try_coalesce() net:ipv6:fixed space issues relating to operators. net:ipv6:fixed a trailing white space issue. ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfrag tg3: use netdev_alloc_frag() API net: napi_frags_skb() is static ppp: avoid false drop_monitor false positives ipv6: bool/const conversions phase2 ipx: Remove spurious NULL checking in ipx_ioctl(). ...

This branch simplifies and clarifies the dcache lookup, and allows us to do certain nice optimizations when comparing dentries. It also cleans up the interface to __d_lookup_rcu(), especially around passing the inode information around. * dentry-cleanups: vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry vfs: move dentry name length comparison from dentry_cmp() into callers vfs: do the careful dentry name access for all dentry_cmp cases vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() interfaces

This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common case. More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()" function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2: "x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up"). * vfs-cleanups: VFS: make vfs_fstat() use f[get|put]_light() VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags() x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end

This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields. This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's just clean that up". Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding fields will still fall back to memset(). * stat-cleanups: vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function

This series sanitizes the interface to unmap_vma(). The crazy interface annoyed me no end when I was looking at unmap_single_vma(), which we can spend quite a lot of time in (especially with loads that have a lot of small fork/exec's: shell scripts etc). Moving the nr_accounted calculations to where they belong at least clarifies things a little. I hope to come back to look at the performance of this later, but if/when I get back to it I at least don't have to see the crazy interfaces any more. * vm-cleanups: vm: remove 'nr_accounted' calculations from the unmap_vmas() interfaces vm: simplify unmap_vmas() calling convention

Add the ZTE (Vodafone) K3765-Z to the whitelist. This requires the previous patch to make the whitelist with forced interface 4 generic or the device fails to initialise. After applying this patch and loading the Option driver without usb-modeswitch's bind all interfaces trick, a wwan0 net interface and /dev/cdc-wdm0 device file were created. Using Bjorn Mork's perl connection script a connection was made to a mobile network using QMI and the network interface's IPv4 address was configured OK.

Change the forced interface 4 whitelist to use the generic shared binder instead of the Gobi specific one. Certain ZTE devices (K3520-Z & K3765-Z) don't work with the Gobi version, but function quite happily with the generic. This has been tested with the following devices: K3520-Z K3565-Z K3765-Z K4505-Z It hasn't been tested with the ZTE MF820D, which is the only other device that uses this whitelist at present. Although Bjorn doesn't expect any problems, any testing with that device would be appreciated.

Move tcp_try_coalesce() protocol independent part to skb_try_coalesce(). skb_try_coalesce() can be used in IPv4 defrag and IPv6 reassembly, to build optimized skbs (less sk_buff, and possibly less 'headers') skb_try_coalesce() is zero copy, unless the copy can fit in destination header (its a rare case) kfree_skb_partial() is also moved to net/core/skbuff.c and exported, because IPv6 will need it in patch (ipv6: use skb coalescing in reassembly).

Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin. GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly turns certain relocation entries absolute. Section-relative symbols that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to absolute. We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative, and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this purpose. See for example http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052 We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly not some rare unusual case. This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested code base." * 'x86/ld-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, relocs: When printing an error, say relative or absolute x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool (*) That's a manly release numbering system.

Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val). The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850 ("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration"). Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the precharge was estimated). Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings seen in 26 hours.

If the allfrag feature has been set on a host route (due to an ICMPv6 Packet Too Big received indicating a MTU of less than 1280), we hit a very slow behavior in TCP stack, because all big packets are dropped and only a retransmit timer is able to push one MSS frame every 200 ms. One way to handle this is to disable GSO on the socket the first time a super packet is dropped. Adding a specific dst_allfrag() in the fast path is probably overkill since the dst_allfrag() case almost never happen.

Quoting Tore Anderson from : If the allfrag feature has been set on a host route (due to an ICMPv6 Packet Too Big received indicating a MTU of less than 1280), TCP SYN/ACK packets to that destination appears to get an incorrect TCP checksum. This in turn means they are thrown away as invalid. In the case of an IPv4 client behind a link with a MTU of less than 1260, accessing an IPv6 server through a stateless translator, this means that the client can only download a single large file from the server, because once it is in the server's routing cache with the allfrag feature set, new TCP connections can no longer be established. </endquote> It appears ip6_fragment() doesn't handle CHECKSUM_PARTIAL properly. As network drivers are not prepared to fetch correct transport header, a safe fix is to call skb_checksum_help() before fragmenting packet.
