aio_write gets const struct iovec * but tun_chr_aio_write casts this to struct
iovec * and modifies the iovec. As a result, attempts to use io_submit
to send packets to a tun device fail with weird errors such as EINVAL.
Since tun is the only user of skb_copy_datagram_from_iovec, we can
fix this simply by changing the later so that it does not
touch the iovec passed to it.

As the sk_sleep wait queue actually lives in tfile, which may be
detached from the tun device, bad things will happen when we use
sk_sleep after detaching.
Since the tun device is the persistent data structure here (when
requested by the user), it makes much more sense to have the wait
queue live there. There is no reason to have it in tfile at all
since the only time we can wait is if we have a tun attached.
In fact we already have a wait queue in tun_struct, so we might
as well use it.

The commit c70f182940f988448f3c12a209d18b1edc276e33 ("tun: Fix
races between tun_net_close and free_netdev") fixed a race where
an asynchronous deletion of a tun device can hose a poll(2) on
a tun fd attached to that device.
However, this came at the cost of moving the tun wait queue into
the tun file data structure. The problem with this is that it
imposes restrictions on when and where the tun device can access
the wait queue since the tun file may change at any time due to
detaching and reattaching.
In particular, now that we need to use the wait queue on the
receive path it becomes difficult to properly synchronise this
with the detachment of the tun device.
This patch solves the original race in a different way. Since
the race is only because the underlying memory gets freed, we
can prevent it simply by ensuring that we don't do that until
all tun descriptors ever attached to the device (even if they
have since be detached because they may still be sitting in poll)
have been closed.
This is done by using reference counting the attached tun file
descriptors. The refcount in tun->sk has been reappropriated
for this purpose since it was already being used for that, albeit
from the opposite angle.
Note that we no longer zero tfile->tun since tun_get will return
NULL anyway after the refcount on tfile hits zero. Instead it
represents whether this device has ever been attached to a device.

When I made the tun driver use non-linear packets as the preferred
option, it broke non-GSO users because they would end up allocating
a completely non-linear packet, which triggers a crash when we call
eth_type_trans.
This patch reverts non-GSO users to using linear packets and adds
a check to ensure that GSO users can't cause crashes in the same
way.

Tap devices can make use of a small MAC filter set via the
TUNSETTXFILTER ioctl. The filter has a set of exact matches
plus a hash for imperfect filtering of additional multicast
addresses. The current code is unbalanced, adding unicast
addresses to the multicast hash, but only checking the hash
against multicast addresses. This results in the filter
dropping unicast addresses that overflow the exact filter.
The fix is simply to disable the filter by leaving count set
to zero if we find non-multicast addresses after the exact
match table is filled.

Unlike a normal socket path, the tuntap device send path does
not have any accounting. This means that the user-space sender
may be able to pin down arbitrary amounts of kernel memory by
continuing to send data to an end-point that is congested.
Even when this isn't an issue because of limited queueing at
most end points, this can also be a problem because its only
response to congestion is packet loss. That is, when those
local queues at the end-point fills up, the tuntap device will
start wasting system time because it will continue to send
data there which simply gets dropped straight away.
Of course one could argue that everybody should do congestion
control end-to-end, unfortunately there are people in this world
still hooked on UDP, and they don't appear to be going away
anywhere fast. In fact, we've always helped them by performing
accounting in our UDP code, the sole purpose of which is to
provide congestion feedback other than through packet loss.
This patch attempts to apply the same bandaid to the tuntap device.
It creates a pseudo-socket object which is used to account our
packets just as a normal socket does for UDP. Of course things
are a little complex because we're actually reinjecting traffic
back into the stack rather than out of the stack.
The stack complexities however should have been resolved by preceding
patches. So this one can simply start using skb_set_owner_w.
For now the accounting is essentially disabled by default for
backwards compatibility. In particular, we set the cap to INT_MAX.
This is so that existing applications don't get confused by the
sudden arrival EAGAIN errors.
In future we may wish (or be forced to) do this by default.

The tun code does not cope gracefully if the network device goes away before
the tun file descriptor is closed. It looks like we can trigger this with
rmmod, and moving tun devices between network namespaces will allow this
to be triggered when network namespaces exit.
To fix this I introduce an intermediate data structure tun_file which
holds a count of users and a pointer to the struct tun_struct. tun_get
increments that reference count if it is greater than 0. tun_put decrements
that reference count and detaches from the network device if the count is 0.
While we have a file attached to the network device I hold a reference
to the network device keeping it from going away completely.
When a network device is unregistered I decrement the count of the
attached tun_file and if that was the last user I detach the tun_file,
and all processes on read_wait are woken up to ensure they do not
sleep indefinitely. As some of those sleeps happen with the count on
the tun device elevated waking up the read waiters ensures that
tun_file will be detached in a timely manner.

Currently the tun code suffers from only having a single word of
data that exists for the entire life of the tun file descriptor.
This results in peculiar holding of references to the network namespace
as well as races between free_netdevice and tun_chr_close.
Fix this by introducing tun_file which will hold the per file state.
For the moment it still holds just a single word so the differences
are all logic changes with no changes in semantics.

Please see the following thread to get some context on this
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121564433018903&w=2
Basically the issue is that current multi-cast filtering stuff in
the TUN/TAP driver is seriously broken.
Original patch went in without proper review and ACK. It was broken and
confusing to start with and subsequent patches broke it completely.
To give you an idea of what's broken here are some of the issues:
- Very confusing comments throughout the code that imply that the
character device is a network interface in its own right, and that packets
are passed between the two nics. Which is completely wrong.
- Wrong set of ioctls is used for setting up filters. They look like
shortcuts for manipulating state of the tun/tap network interface but
in reality manipulate the state of the TX filter.
- ioctls that were originally used for setting address of the the TX filter
got "fixed" and now set the address of the network interface itself. Which
made filter totaly useless.
- Filtering is done too late. Instead of filtering early on, to avoid
unnecessary wakeups, filtering is done in the read() call.
The list goes on and on :)
So the patch cleans all that up. It introduces simple and clean interface for
setting up TX filters (TUNSETTXFILTER + tun_filter spec) and does filtering
before enqueuing the packets.
TX filtering is useful in the scenarios where TAP is part of a bridge, in
which case it gets all broadcast, multicast and potentially other packets when
the bridge is learning. So for example Ethernet tunnelling app may want to
setup TX filters to avoid tunnelling multicast traffic. QEMU and other
hypervisors can push RX filtering that is currently done in the guest into the
host context therefore saving wakeups and unnecessary data transfer.

The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during
initial setup.
The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens
it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

The problem with introducing checksum offload and gso to tun is they
need to set dev->features to enable GSO and/or checksumming, which is
supposed to be done before register_netdevice(), ie. as part of
TUNSETIFF.
Unfortunately, TUNSETIFF has always just ignored flags it doesn't
understand, so there's no good way of detecting whether the kernel
supports new IFF_ flags.
This patch implements a TUNGETFEATURES ioctl which returns all the valid IFF
flags. It could be extended later to include other features.
Here's an example program which uses it:
#include <linux/if_tun.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>
static struct {
unsigned int flag;
const char *name;
} known_flags[] = {
{ IFF_TUN, "TUN" },
{ IFF_TAP, "TAP" },
{ IFF_NO_PI, "NO_PI" },
{ IFF_ONE_QUEUE, "ONE_QUEUE" },
};
int main()
{
unsigned int features, i;
int netfd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR);
if (netfd < 0)
err(1, "Opening /dev/net/tun");
if (ioctl(netfd, TUNGETFEATURES, &features) != 0) {
printf("Kernel does not support TUNGETFEATURES, guessing\n");
features = (IFF_TUN|IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_ONE_QUEUE);
}
printf("Available features are: ");
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(known_flags)/sizeof(known_flags[0]); i++) {
if (features & known_flags[i].flag) {
features &= ~known_flags[i].flag;
printf("%s ", known_flags[i].name);
}
}
if (features)
printf("(UNKNOWN %#x)", features);
printf("\n");
return 0;

This is basically means that a net is set for a new device, but
actually also involves two more steps:
1. mark the tun device as "local", i.e. do not allow for it to
move across namespaces.
This is done so, since tun device is most often associated to some
file (and thus to some process) and moving the device alone is not
valid while keeping the file and the process outside. The need in
ability to move a detached persistent device is to be investigated
later.
2. get the tun device's net when tun becomes attached and put one
when it becomes detached.
This is needed to handle the case when a task owning the tun dies,
but a files lives for some more time - in this case we must not
allow for net to be freed, since its exit hook will spoil that file's
private data by unregistering the tun from under tun_chr_close.
