When a new nic is created in namespace ns1, the kernel sends a KOBJ_ADD uevent
to ns1. When the nic is moved to ns2, we only send a KOBJ_MOVE to ns2, and
nothing to ns1.
This patch changes that behavior so that when moving a nic from ns1 to ns2, we
send a KOBJ_REMOVED to ns1 and KOBJ_ADD to ns2. (The KOBJ_MOVE is still
sent to ns2).
The effects of this can be seen when starting and stopping containers in
an upstart based host. Lxc will create a pair of veth nics, the kernel
sends KOBJ_ADD, and upstart starts network-instance jobs for each. When
one nic is moved to the container, because no KOBJ_REMOVED event is
received, the network-instance job for that veth never goes away. This
was reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1065589
With this patch the networ-instance jobs properly go away.
The other oddness solved here is that if a nic is passed into a running
upstart-based container, without this patch no network-instance job is
started in the container. But when the container creates a new nic
itself (ip link add new type veth) then network-interface jobs are
created. With this patch, behavior comes in line with a regular host.
v2: also send KOBJ_ADD to new netns. There will then be a
_MOVE event from the device_rename() call, but that should
be innocuous.

I believe this commit from 2008 was incorrect:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=398bcbebb6f721ac308df1e3d658c0029bb74503
When CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF is disabled, the kernel should follow
RFC4861 section 6.3.6: if no route is NUD_VALID, then traffic should be
sprayed across all routers (indirectly triggering NUD) until one of them
becomes NUD_VALID.
However, the following experiment demonstrates that this does not work:
1) Connect to an IPv6 network.
2) Change the router's MAC (and link-local) address.
The kernel will lock onto the first router and never try the new one, even
if the first becomes unreachable. This patch fixes the problem by
allowing rt6_check_neigh() to return 0; if all routers return 0, then
rt6_select() will fall back to round-robin behavior.
This patch should have no effect when CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF=y.
Note that rt6_check_neigh() is only used in a boolean context, so I've
changed its return type accordingly.

As of 026359b [ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are accepted],
Router Solicitations are sent whenever kernel accepts Router
Advertisements on the interface.
However, this logic isn't reflected in 'addrconf_rs_timer'.
The timer fails to issue subsequent RS messages (and fails to re-arm
itself) if forwarding is enabled and the special hybrid mode is
enabled (accept_ra=2).

The current SCTP stack is lacking a mechanism to have per association

this.
V4:
- Move ipackets++ before q->immediate.func() for consistency reasons
- Move sctp_max_rto() at the end of sctp_transport_update_rto() to avoid

- return asoc->rto_min when max_obs_rto value has not changed
V3:
- Increase ictrlchunks in sctp_assoc_bh_rcv() as well
- Move ipackets++ to sctp_inq_push()
- return 0 when no rto updates took place since the last call
V2:
- Implement partial retrieval of stat struct to cope for future expansion
- Kill the rtxpackets counter as it cannot be precise anyway
- Rename outseqtsns to outofseqtsns to make it clearer that these are out
of sequence unexpected TSNs
- Move asoc->ipackets++ under a lock to avoid potential miscounts
- Fold asoc->opackets++ into the already existing asoc check
- Kill unneeded (q->asoc) test when increasing rtxchunks
- Do not count octrlchunks if sending failed (SCTP_XMIT_OK != 0)
- Don't count SHUTDOWNs as SACKs
- Move SCTP_GET_ASSOC_STATS to the private space API
- Adjust the len check in sctp_getsockopt_assoc_stats() to allow for
future struct growth
- Move association statistics in their own struct
- Update idupchunks when we send a SACK with dup TSNs

This patch adds a new operation to dump the content of the dying and

Under some situations, the global conntrack counter can be inconsistent
with the number of entries that we can dump from the conntrack table.
The way to resolve this is to allow dumping the content of the unconfirmed

This provides some extra instrumentation to resolve problematic situations

This patch modifies the conntrack subsystem so that all existing
allocated conntrack objects can be found in any of the following
places:
* the hash table, this is the typical place for alive conntrack objects.
* the unconfirmed list, this is the place for newly created conntrack objects
that are still traversing the stack.
* the dying list, this is where you can find conntrack objects that are dying
or that should die anytime soon (eg. once the destroy event is delivered to
the conntrackd daemon).
Thus, we make sure that we follow the track for all existing conntrack
objects. This patch, together with some extension of the ctnetlink interface
to dump the content of the dying and unconfirmed lists, will help in case
to debug suspected nf_conn object leaks.

TCP coalescing added a regression in splice(socket->pipe) performance,
for some workloads because of the way tcp_read_sock() is implemented.
The reason for this is the break when (offset + 1 != skb->len).
As we released the socket lock, this condition is possible if TCP stack
added a fragment to the skb, which can happen with TCP coalescing.
So let's go back to the beginning of the loop when this happens,
to give a chance to splice more frags per system call.
Doing so fixes the issue and makes GRO 10% faster than LRO
on CPU-bound splice() workloads instead of the opposite.

Avoid submitting packets to a vcc which is being closed. Things go badly
wrong when the ->pop method gets later called after everything's been
torn down.
Use the ATM socket lock for synchronisation with vcc_destroy_socket(),
which clears the ATM_VF_READY bit under the same lock. Otherwise, we
could end up submitting a packet to the device driver even after its
->ops->close method has been called. And it could call the vcc's ->pop
method after the protocol has been shut down. Which leads to a panic.

commit 68835aba4d (net: optimize INET input path further)
moved some fields used for tcp/udp sockets lookup in the first cache
line of struct sock_common.
This patch moves inet_dport/inet_num as well, filling a 32bit hole
on 64 bit arches and reducing number of cache line misses in lookups.
Also change INET_MATCH()/INET_TW_MATCH() to perform the ports match
before addresses match, as this check is more discriminant.
Remove the hash check from MATCH() macros because we dont need to
re validate the hash value after taking a refcount on socket, and
use likely/unlikely compiler hints, as the sk_hash/hash check
makes the following conditional tests 100% predicted by cpu.
Introduce skc_addrpair/skc_portpair pair values to better
document the alignment requirements of the port/addr pairs
used in the various MATCH() macros, and remove some casts.
The namespace check can also be done at last.
This slightly improves TCP/UDP lookup times.
IP/TCP early demux needs inet->rx_dst_ifindex and
TCP needs inet->min_ttl, lets group them together in same cache line.

handling improvements (yes yes... we need to fix them instead)
and various other small things all over."
...and:
"In his quest to try to understand the current iwlwifi problems (like
stuck queues etc.) Emmanuel has first cleaned up the PCIe code, I'm
including his changes in this pull request. Other than that I only have
a small cleanup from Sachin Kamat to remove a duplicate include and a
bugfix to turn off MFP if software crypto is enabled, but this isn't
really interesting as MFP isn't supported right now anyway."
On NFC, Samuel says:
"With this one we have:
- A few HCI improvements in preparation for an upcoming HCI chipset support.
- A pn544 code cleanup after the old driver was removed.
- An LLCP improvement for notifying user space when one peer stops ACKing I
frames."
On ath6kl, Kalle says:
"Major changes this time are firmware recover support to gracefully
handle if firmware crashes, support for changing regulatory domain and
support for new ar6004 hardware revision 1.4. Otherwise there are just
smaller fixes or cleanups from different people."
Thats about it... :-) Please let me know if there are problems!

Currently, each time a device is detached from an OVS datapath
we call synchronize RCU before freeing associated data structures.
However, if a bridge is deleted (which detaches all ports) when
many devices are connected then there can be a long delay. This
switches to use call_rcu() to group the cost together.

This patch reports the change made by Stephen Hemminger in ipip and gre[6] in
commit eccc1bb8d4 (tunnel: drop packet if ECN present with not-ECT).
Goal is to handle RFC6040, Section 4.2:
Default Tunnel Egress Behaviour.
o If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT, the decapsulator MUST NOT
propagate any other ECN codepoint onwards. This is because the
inner Not-ECT marking is set by transports that rely on dropped
packets as an indication of congestion and would not understand or
respond to any other ECN codepoint [RFC4774]. Specifically:
* If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT and the outer ECN field is
CE, the decapsulator MUST drop the packet.
* If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT and the outer ECN field is
Not-ECT, ECT(0), or ECT(1), the decapsulator MUST forward the
outgoing packet with the ECN field cleared to Not-ECT.
The patch takes benefits from common function added in net/inet_ecn.h.
Like it was done for Xin4 tunnels, it adds logging to allow detecting broken
systems that set ECN bits incorrectly when tunneling (or an intermediate
router might be changing the header). Errors are also tracked via
rx_frame_error.

Cleanup the memory we allocated earlier in irttp_open_tsap() when we hit
this error path. The leak goes back to at least 1da177e4
("Linux-2.6.12-rc2").
