b9f5f52cca net: neighbour table ABI problem
The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the
incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or
milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the
real system HZ value which is problematic.  Linux has standardized on
keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running
internally at some other value.

This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of
iproute2 utilities.  But these utilities are already broken since they
are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So
let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space. Older
utilities will just print wrong values.

fa86d322d8 [NEIGH]: Fix race between pneigh deletion and ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns (v3).
Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller
of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine)
should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry. 

There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns() 
uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER.

This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after 
the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped 
and the deleting procedure may proceed.

One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this
problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too 
big for -rc4.

So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed
to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check
the flags on alive pneigh entry.


Changes from v2:
As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module. 
The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL 
does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the 
exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony.

Changes from v1:
Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header
and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed
by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized
by gcc.

69cc64d8d9 [NDISC]: Fix race in generic address resolution
Frank Blaschka provided the bug report and the initial suggested fix
for this bug.  He also validated this version of this fix.

The problem is that the access to neigh->arp_queue is inconsistent, we
grab references when dropping the lock lock to call
neigh->ops->solicit() but this does not prevent other threads of
control from trying to send out that packet at the same time causing
corruptions because both code paths believe they have exclusive access
to the skb.

The best option seems to be to hold the write lock on neigh->lock
during the ->solicit() call.  I looked at all of the ndisc_ops
implementations and this seems workable.  The only case that needs
special care is the IPV4 ARP implementation of arp_solicit().  It
wants to take neigh->lock as a reader to protect the header entry in
neigh->ha during the emission of the soliciation.  We can simply
remove the read lock calls to take care of that since holding the lock
as a writer at the caller providers a superset of the protection
afforded by the existing read locking.

The rest of the ->solicit() implementations don't care whether the
neigh is locked or not.

426b5303eb [NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network namespaces
I'm actually surprised at how much was involved.  At first glance it
appears that the neighbour table data structures are already split by
network device so all that should be needed is to modify the user
interface commands to filter the set of neighbours by the network
namespace of their devices.

However a couple things turned up while I was reading through the
code.  The proxy neighbour table allows entries with no network
device, and the neighbour parms are per network device (except for the
defaults) so they now need a per network namespace default.

So I updated the two structures (which surprised me) with their very
own network namespace parameter.  Updated the relevant lookup and
destroy routines with a network namespace parameter and modified the
code that interacts with users to filter out neighbour table entries
for devices of other namespaces.

I'm a little concerned that we can modify and display the global table
configuration and from all network namespaces.  But this appears good
enough for now.

I keep thinking modifying the neighbour table to have per network
namespace instances of each table type would should be cleaner.  The
hash table is already dynamically sized so there are it is not a
limiter.  The default parameter would be straight forward to take care
of.  However when I look at the how the network table is built and
used I still find some assumptions that there is only a single
neighbour table for each type of table in the kernel.  The netlink
operations, neigh_seq_start, the non-core network users that call
neigh_lookup.  So while it might be doable it would require more
refactoring than my current approach of just doing a little extra
filtering in the code.

a43d8994b9 [NEIGH]: Make neigh_add_timer symmetrical to neigh_del_timer.
The neigh_del_timer() looks sane - it removes the timer and
(conditionally) puts the neighbor. I expected, that the
neigh_add_timer() is symmetrical to the del one - i.e. it
holds the neighbor and arms the timer - but it turned out
that it was not so.

I think, that making them look symmetrical makes the code
more readable.

c3bac5a71b [NEIGH]: Use the ctl paths to create neighbours sysctls
The appropriate path is prepared right inside this function. It
is prepared similar to how the ctl tables were.

Since the path is modified, it is put on the stack, to avoid
possible races with multiple calls to neigh_sysctl_register() : it
is called by protocols and I didn't find any protection in this
case. Did I overlooked the rtnl lock?.

The stack growth of the neigh_sysctl_register() is 40 bytes. I
believe this is OK, since this is not that much and this function
is not called with the deep stack (device/protocols register).

The device's name is stored on the template to free it later.

This will help with the net namespaces, as each namespace should
have its own set of these ctls.

Besides, this saves ~350 bytes from the neigh template :)

9cd4002942 [NEIGH]: Fix race between neigh_parms_release and neightbl_fill_parms
The neightbl_fill_parms() is called under the write-locked tbl->lock
and accesses the parms->dev. The negh_parm_release() calls the
dev_put(parms->dev) without this lock. This creates a tiny race window
on which the parms contains potentially stale dev pointer.

To fix this race it's enough to move the dev_put() upper under the
tbl->lock, but note, that the parms are held by neighbors and thus can
live after the neigh_parms_release() is called, so we still can have a
parm with bad dev pointer.

I didn't find where the neigh->parms->dev is accessed, but still think
that putting the dev is to be done in a place, where the parms are
really freed. Am I right with that?

and then loaded again.  Its exit call to neigh_table_clear()
should destroy the cache after freeing it.

d12af679bc sysctl: fix neighbour table sysctls.
- In ipv6 ndisc_ifinfo_syctl_change so it doesn't depend on binary
  sysctl names for a function that works with proc.

- In neighbour.c reorder the table to put the possibly unused entries
  at the end so we can remove them by terminating the table early.

- In neighbour.c kill the entries with questionable binary sysctl
  handling behavior.

- In neighbour.c if we don't have a strategy routine remove the
  binary path.  So we don't the default sysctl strategy routine
  on data that is not ready for it.

4ae289444b [NEIGH]: Ensure that pneigh_lookup is protected with RTNL
The pnigh_lookup is used to lookup proxy entries and to 
create them in case lookup failed. 

However, the "creation" code does not perform the re-lookup
after GFP_KERNEL allocation. This is done because the code
is expected to be protected with the RTNL lock, so add the 
assertion (mainly to address future questions from new network 
developers like me :) ).

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

457c4cbc5a [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

d961db358f [NEIGH]: Netlink notifications
Currently neighbour event notifications are limited to update
notifications and only sent if the ARP daemon is enabled. This
patch extends the existing notification code by also reporting
neighbours being removed due to gc or administratively and
removes the dependency on the ARP daemon. This allows to keep
track of neighbour states without periodically fetching the
complete neighbour table.

20c2df83d2 mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).
