      ipv6: Fix ip_gre lockless xmits. · f2b3ee9e
      Willem de Bruijn authored 
      Tunnel devices set NETIF_F_LLTX to bypass HARD_TX_LOCK.  Sit and
ipip set this unconditionally in ops->setup, but gre enables it
conditionally after parameter passing in ops->newlink. This is
not called during tunnel setup as below, however, so GRE tunnels are
still taking the lock.

modprobe ip_gre
ip tunnel add test0 mode gre remote 10.5.1.1 dev lo
ip link set test0 up
ip addr add 10.6.0.1 dev test0
 # cat /sys/class/net/test0/features
 # $DIR/test_tunnel_xmit 10 10.5.2.1
ip route add 10.5.2.0/24 dev test0
ip tunnel del test0

The newlink callback is only called in rtnl_netlink, and only if
the device is new, as it calls register_netdevice internally. Gre
tunnels are created at 'ip tunnel add' with ioctl SIOCADDTUNNEL,
which calls ipgre_tunnel_locate, which calls register_netdev.
rtnl_newlink is called at 'ip link set', but skips ops->newlink
and the device is up with locking still enabled. The equivalent
ipip tunnel works fine, btw (just substitute 'method gre' for
'method ipip').

On kernels before /sys/class/net/*/features was removed [1],
the first commented out line returns 0x6000 with method gre,
which indicates that NETIF_F_LLTX (0x1000) is not set. With ipip,
it reports 0x7000. This test cannot be used on recent kernels where
the sysfs file is removed (and ETHTOOL_GFEATURES does not currently
work for tunnel devices, because they lack dev->ethtool_ops).

The second commented out line calls a simple transmission test [2]
that sends on 24 cores at maximum rate. Results of a single run:

ipip:			19,372,306
gre before patch:	 4,839,753
gre after patch:	19,133,873

This patch replicates the condition check in ipgre_newlink to
ipgre_tunnel_locate. It works for me, both with oseq on and off.
This is the first time I looked at rtnetlink and iproute2 code,
though, so someone more knowledgeable should probably check the
patch. Thanks.

The tail of both functions is now identical, by the way. To avoid
code duplication, I'll be happy to rework this and merge the two.

      netns: fix net_alloc_generic() · 073862ba

      When a new net namespace is created, we should attach to it a "struct
net_generic" with enough slots (even empty), or we can hit the following

net_alloc_generic() should take into account the maximum index into the
ptr array, as a subsystem might use net_generic() anytime.

This also reduces number of reallocations in net_assign_generic()

      Port autoselection finds a port and then drop the lock,
then right after that, gets the hash bucket again and lock it.

Fix it to go direct.

      tcp: bind() fix autoselection to share ports · 2b05ad33
      Flavio Leitner authored 
      The current code checks for conflicts when the application
requests a specific port.  If there is no conflict, then
the request is granted.

On the other hand, the port autoselection done by the kernel
fails when all ports are bound even when there is a port
with no conflict available.

The fix changes port autoselection to check if there is a
conflict and use it if not.

      l2tp: l2tp_ip - fix possible oops on packet receive · 68315801
      James Chapman authored 
      When a packet is received on an L2TP IP socket (L2TPv3 IP link
encapsulation), the l2tpip socket's backlog_rcv function calls
xfrm4_policy_check(). This is not necessary, since it was called
before the skb was added to the backlog. With CONFIG_NET_NS enabled,
xfrm4_policy_check() will oops if skb->dev is null, so this trivial
patch removes the call.

This bug has always been present, but only when CONFIG_NET_NS is
enabled does it cause problems. Most users are probably using UDP
encapsulation for L2TP, hence the problem has only recently
surfaced.
