The kernel contains some special internal keyrings, for instance the DNS
resolver keyring :
2a93faf1 I----- 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .dns_resolver: empty
It would occasionally be useful to allow the contents of such keyrings to be
flushed by root (cache invalidation).
Allow a flag to be set on a keyring to mark that someone possessing the
sysadmin capability can clear the keyring, even without normal write access to
the keyring.
Set this flag on the special keyrings created by the DNS resolver, the NFS
identity mapper and the CIFS identity mapper.

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.
See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.

[PATCH V5 net-next] neigh: new unresolved queue limits
unres_qlen is the number of frames we are able to queue per unresolved
neighbour. Its default value (3) was never changed and is responsible
for strange drops, especially if IP fragments are used, or multiple
sessions start in parallel. Even a single tcp flow can hit this limit.

This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be
very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding
driver.
Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available
here:
https://github.com/jpirko/libteam
Note it's still in its dipers atm.
team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl
suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc.
Python binding of libteam was recently introduced.
Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be
introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in
kernel team driver.
v7->v8:
- check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling
them.
- use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb()
v6->v7:
- transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths.
That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is
present
v5->v6:
- changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers
v4->v5:
- team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port
list
- mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of
userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and
possibly other weird things with mac addresses.
Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then
enslaved.
- Extended Kconfig text
v3->v4:
- remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode()
- revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per
byte"
- extend comment of function __team_change_mode()
v2->v3:
- team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind
- set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte
- port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure
- error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now
- fixed rtln->rtnl
v1->v2:
- modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and
extendable.
- several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed
- several other bugs were fixed.
- note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector
as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode
"random") in future.

This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router
Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is
accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is
not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the
"accept_ra" sysctl is used.
The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode
("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard
Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was
that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl
documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore
been removed.
Rationale for the change:
Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining
whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent,
otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the
following cases:
* accept_ra=0, forwarding=0
* accept_ra=0, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=1, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=2, forwarding=1
In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will
not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send
any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most
routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in
the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.)
Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS
sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being
accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect
to be the case.

Andi Kleen and Tim Chen reported huge contention on inetpeer
unused_peers.lock, on memcached workload on a 40 core machine, with
disabled route cache.
It appears we constantly flip peers refcnt between 0 and 1 values, and
we must insert/remove peers from unused_peers.list, holding a contended
spinlock.
Remove this list completely and perform a garbage collection on-the-fly,
at lookup time, using the expired nodes we met during the tree
traversal.
This removes a lot of code, makes locking more standard, and obsoletes
two sysctls (inet_peer_gc_mintime and inet_peer_gc_maxtime). This also
removes two pointers in inet_peer structure.
There is still a false sharing effect because refcnt is in first cache
line of object [were the links and keys used by lookups are located], we
might move it at the end of inet_peer structure to let this first cache
line mostly read by cpus.

For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and
sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications
(gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover.
Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new
active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer
notification should be deferred until it does.
Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer
notifications on bonding failover.
Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS
notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested. Since
it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make
num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter. Bump

DNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]
When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to
read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to
be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076].
Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in
key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing.
Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the
amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated.
The buggy code was added in:
commit 4a2d789267
Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com>
Date: Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100
Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]
This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program
compiled with -lkeyutils:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <keyutils.h>
#include <err.h>
static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6";
int main()
{
key_serial_t key;
key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload),
KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING);
if (key == -1)
err(1, "add_key");
if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1)
err(1, "read_key");
return 0;
}
What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user:
dns-break: read_key: No such device or address
but instead the kernel oopses.
This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands
as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be
included in the data. Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return
-EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read.
The oops looks like:

This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of
TX packets and provides two policies:
* a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and
* a priority based policy (set via socket options).
Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write
queue (can be overridden via socket options).
The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary
data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

tcp_win_from_space() does the following:
if (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale <= 0)
return space >> (-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);
else
return space - (space >> sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);
"space" is int.
As per C99 6.5.7 (3) shifting int for 32 or more bits is
undefined behaviour.
Indeed, if sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is exactly 32,
space >> 32 equals space and function returns 0.
Which means we busyloop in tcp_fixup_rcvbuf().

Some of the documentation refers to web pages under
the domain `osdl.org'. However, `osdl.org' now
redirects to `linuxfoundation.org'.
Rather than rely on redirections, this patch updates
the addresses appropriately; for the most part, only
documentation that is meant to be current has been
updated.
The patch should be pretty quick to scan and check;
each new web-page url was gotten by trying out the
original URL in a browser and then simply copying the
the redirected URL (formatting as necessary).
There is some conflict as to which one of these domain
names is preferred:
linuxfoundation.org
linux-foundation.org
So, I wrote:
info@linuxfoundation.org
and got this reply:
Message-ID: <4CE17EE6.9040807@linuxfoundation.org>

linuxfoundation.org is preferred. The canonical name for our web site is
www.linuxfoundation.org. Our list site is actually
lists.linux-foundation.org.
Regarding email linuxfoundation.org is preferred there are a few people
who choose to use linux-foundation.org for their own reasons.
Consequently, I used `linuxfoundation.org' for web pages and
`lists.linux-foundation.org' for mailing-list web pages and email addresses;
the only personal email address I updated from `@osdl.org' was that of
Andrew Morton, who prefers `linux-foundation.org' according `git log'.

/* disable pipe */
setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_DISABLE, &garbage, sizeof(garbage));

getsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_INQ, &status, &len);
...which does not follow the usual socket option pattern. This patch
merges all three "options" into a single gettable&settable option,
before Linux 2.6.37 gets out:
int status;
socklen_t len = sizeof(status);
/* enable pipe */
status = 1;
setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, sizeof(status));
/* disable pipe */
status = 0;
setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, sizeof(status));
/* get status */

This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN also available to CCID-3, replacing the compile-time
RTO lower bound with a per-route tunable value.
The original Kconfig option solved the problem that a very low RTT (in the
order of HZ) can trigger too frequent and unnecessary reductions of the
sending rate.
This tunable does not affect the initial RTO value of 2 seconds specified in
RFC 5348, section 4.2 and Appendix B. But like the hardcoded Kconfig value,
it allows to adapt to network conditions.
The same effect as the original Kconfig option of 100ms is now achieved by

Using a fixed RTO_MIN of 0.2 seconds was found to cause problems for CCID-2
over 802.11g: at least once per session there was a spurious timeout. It
helped to then increase the the value of RTO_MIN over this link.
Since the problem is the same as in TCP, this patch makes the solution from
commit "05bb1fad1cde025a864a90cfeb98dcbefe78a44a"
"[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics."
available to DCCP.
This avoids reinventing the wheel, so that e.g. the following works in the
expected way now also for CCID-2:
> ip route change 10.0.0.2 rto_min 800 dev ath0
Luckily this useful rto_min function was recently moved to net/tcp.h,
which simplifies sharing code originating from TCP.

Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own
module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS
filesystem module.
This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have
it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel
in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys
can be retained in keyrings.
Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive
description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type>
indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The
<domain_name> is the query to be made.
If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the
result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a
comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key
and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is
invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution.
The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function,
which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This
part remains in the CIFS module for now.

v2: changed bonding module version, modified to apply on top of changes
from previous patch in series, and updated documentation to elaborate on
multiqueue awareness that now exists in bonding driver.
This patch give the user the ability to control the output slave for
round-robin and active-backup bonding. Similar functionality was
discussed in the past, but Jay Vosburgh indicated he would rather see a
feature like this added to existing modes rather than creating a
completely new mode. Jay's thoughts as well as Neil's input surrounding
some of the issues with the first implementation pushed us toward a
design that relied on the queue_mapping rather than skb marks.
Round-robin and active-backup modes were chosen as the first users of
this slave selection as they seemed like the most logical choices when
considering a multi-switch environment.
Round-robin mode works without any modification, but active-backup does
require inclusion of the first patch in this series and setting
the 'all_slaves_active' flag. This will allow reception of unicast traffic on
any of the backup interfaces.
This was tested with IPv4-based filters as well as VLAN-based filters
with good results.
More information as well as a configuration example is available in the
patch to Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.

SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by
PACKET_TIMESTAMP. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set.
If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside

Fix up various conflicts with pcmcia tree drivers/net/
{pcmcia/3c589_cs.c, wireless/orinoco/orinoco_cs.c and
wireless/orinoco/spectrum_cs.c} and feature removal
(Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt).
Also fix a non-content conflict due to pm_qos_requirement getting
renamed in the PM tree (now pm_qos_request) in net/mac80211/scan.c
(Dropped the infiniband part, because Tetsuo modified the related code,
I will send a separate patch for it once this is accepted.)
This patch introduces /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_reserved_ports which
allows users to reserve ports for third-party applications.
The reserved ports will not be used by automatic port assignments
(e.g. when calling connect() or bind() with port number 0). Explicit
port allocation behavior is unchanged.

This has never worked properly because wsize passed to
cxacru_cm() is incorrectly set to the number of values
instead of the data bytes. The maximum number of values
that can be set at once is 7 which means the device will
not get enough data to work with and none of the
configuration values will be used.
At least one existing cxacru-cf.bin file contains invalid
data which will prevent the modem from syncing properly.
Fixing it is likely to break existing systems, and the
new sysfs interface for setting configuration parameters
can provide the same functionality. A script is provided
to convert from the original format.
