ccc7f4968a net: print net_device reg_state in netdev_* unless it's registered
This way we'll always know in what status the device is, unless it's
running normally (i.e. NETDEV_REGISTERED).

Also, emit a warning once in case of a bad reg_state.

224e923cd9 net_sched: hold tcf_lock in netdevice notifier
We modify mirred action (m->tcfm_dev) in netdev event, we need to
prevent on-going mirred actions from reading freed m->tcfm_dev.
So we need to acquire this spin lock.

9cc63db5e1 net_sched: cancel nest attribute on failure in tcf_exts_dump()
Like other places, we need to cancel the nest attribute after
we start. Fortunately the netlink message will not be sent on
failure, so it's not a big problem at all.

2dc41cff75 udp: Use hash2 for long hash1 chains in __udp*_lib_mcast_deliver.
Many multicast sources can have the same port which can result in a very
large list when hashing by port only. Hash by address and port instead
if this is the case. This makes multicast more similar to unicast.

On a 24-core machine receiving from 500 multicast sockets on the same
port, before this patch 80% of system CPU was used up by spin locking
and only ~25% of packets were successfully delivered.

With this patch, all packets are delivered and kernel overhead is ~8%
system CPU on spinlocks.

6f92ee54b3 tipc: ensure sequential message delivery across dual bearers
When we run broadcast packets over dual bearers/interfaces, the
current transmission code is flipping bearers between each sent
packet, with the purpose of leveraging the double bandwidth
available. The receiving bclink is resequencing the packets if
needed, so all messages are delivered upwards from the broadcast
link in the correct order, even if they may arrive in concurrent
interrupts.

However, at the moment of delivery upwards to the socket, we release
all spinlocks (bclink_lock, node_lock), so it is still possible
that arriving messages bypass each other before they reach the socket
queue.

We fix this by applying the same technique we are using for unicast
traffic. We use a link selector (i.e., the last bit of sending port
number) to ensure that messages from the same sender socket always are
sent over the same bearer. This guarantees sequential delivery between
socket pairs, which is sufficient to satisfy the protocol spec, as well
as all known user requirements.

0abd8ff21f tipc: start using the new multicast functions
In this commit, we convert the socket multicast send function to
directly call the new multicast/broadcast function (tipc_bclink_xmit2())
introduced in the previous commit. We do this instead of letting the
call go via the now obsolete tipc_port_mcast_xmit(), hence saving
a call level and some code complexity.

We also remove the initial destination lookup at the message sending
side, and replace that with an unconditional lookup at the receiving
side, including on the sending node itself. This makes the destination
lookup and message transfer more uniform than before.

078bec826f tipc: add new functions for multicast and broadcast distribution
We add a new broadcast link transmit function in bclink.c and a new
receive function in socket.c. The purpose is to move the branching
between external and internal destination down to the link layer,
just as we have done with unicast in earlier commits. We also make
use of the new link-independent fragmentation support that was
introduced in an earlier commit series.

This gives a shorter and simpler code path, and makes it possible
to obtain copy-free buffer delivery to all node local destination
sockets.

The new transmission code is added in parallel with the existing one,
and will be used by the socket multicast send function in the next
commit in this series.

dbdf6d24ad tipc: make name table distributor use new send function
In a previous commit series ("tipc: new unicast transmission code")
we introduced a new message sending function, tipc_link_xmit2(),
and moved the unicast data users over to use that function. We now
let the internal name table distributor do the same.

The interaction between the name distributor and the node/link
layer also becomes significantly simpler, so we can eliminate
the function tipc_link_names_xmit().

bbbea41d5e net: sctp: deprecate rfc6458, 5.3.2. SCTP_SNDRCV support
With support of SCTP_SNDINFO/SCTP_RCVINFO as described in RFC6458,
5.3.4/5.3.5, we can now deprecate SCTP_SNDRCV. The RFC already
declares it as deprecated:

  This structure mixes the send and receive path. SCTP_SNDINFO
  (described in Section 5.3.4) and SCTP_RCVINFO (described in
  Section 5.3.5) split this information. These structures should
  be used, when possible, since SCTP_SNDRCV is deprecated.

So whenever a user tries to subscribe to sctp_data_io_event via
setsockopt(2) which triggers inclusion of SCTP_SNDRCV cmsg_type,
issue a warning in the log.

6b3fd5f3a2 net: sctp: implement rfc6458, 8.1.31. SCTP_DEFAULT_SNDINFO support
This patch implements section 8.1.31. of RFC6458, which adds support
for setting/retrieving SCTP_DEFAULT_SNDINFO:

  Applications that wish to use the sendto() system call may wish
  to specify a default set of parameters that would normally be
  supplied through the inclusion of ancillary data. This socket
  option allows such an application to set the default sctp_sndinfo
  structure. The application that wishes to use this socket option
  simply passes the sctp_sndinfo structure (defined in Section 5.3.4)
  to this call. The input parameters accepted by this call include
  snd_sid, snd_flags, snd_ppid, and snd_context. The snd_flags
  parameter is composed of a bitwise OR of SCTP_UNORDERED, SCTP_EOF,
  and SCTP_SENDALL. The snd_assoc_id field specifies the association
  to which to apply the parameters. For a one-to-many style socket,
  any of the predefined constants are also allowed in this field.
  The field is ignored for one-to-one style sockets.

11878b40ed net-timestamp: SOCK_RAW and PING timestamping
Add SO_TIMESTAMPING to sockets of type PF_INET[6]/SOCK_RAW:

Add the necessary sock_tx_timestamp calls to the datapath for RAW
sockets (ping sockets already had these calls).

Fix the IP output path to pass the timestamp flags on the first
fragment also for these sockets. The existing code relies on
transhdrlen != 0 to indicate a first fragment. For these sockets,
that assumption does not hold.

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77221

Tested SOCK_RAW on IPv4 and IPv6, not PING.

called with set_ssthresh = 1. Thus, we can remove this argument from

is then always called with set_ssthresh = true, and so we can get rid of
this argument as well.

685343fc3b net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute
Based on a patch by David Herrmann.

The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a
given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined:
  NET_NAME_ENUM:
    The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated
    suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may
    be reused and unpredictable.
  NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE:
    The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way
    that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a
    given device. Examples include statically created devices like
    the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties
    (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names
    depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the
    existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE.
  NET_NAME_USER:
    The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup.
  NET_NAME_RENAMED:
    The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set,
    it cannot change again.
  NET_NAME_UNKNOWN:
    This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet
    categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather
    -EINVAL is returned.

The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As
a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay
the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when
attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should
not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local
admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name.

If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace
already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The
main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently
have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such
names NET_NAME_USER.

If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we
most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when
third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could
be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A
typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the
real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before
the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To
solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled
NET_NAME_RENAMED.

In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a
way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when
the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on
the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include
statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties
of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided
names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE.
We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface
naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information
necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not
be exposed to userspace.

The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has
given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of
discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM.

Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has
not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing
us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit.

3cf521f7dc net/l2tp: don't fall back on UDP [get|set]sockopt
The l2tp [get|set]sockopt() code has fallen back to the UDP functions
for socket option levels != SOL_PPPOL2TP since day one, but that has
never actually worked, since the l2tp socket isn't an inet socket.

As David Miller points out:

  "If we wanted this to work, it'd have to look up the tunnel and then
   use tunnel->sk, but I wonder how useful that would be"

Since this can never have worked so nobody could possibly have depended
on that functionality, just remove the broken code and return -EINVAL.
