The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a
lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the
-EAGAIN buisness we had before.
Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That
works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get
silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules.
We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because
they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the
sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in
libc.
With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from
Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state
resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default.
This lays the framework to either:
1) Make this default at some point or...
2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the
ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of.
The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then
once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we
re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The
packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved
in a certain amount of time.

sys_setsockopt() do not check properly timeout values for
SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO, for example it's possible to set negative timeout
values. POSIX do not defines behaviour for sys_setsockopt in case negative
timeouts, but requires that setsockopt() shall fail with -EDOM if the send and
receive timeout values are too big to fit into the timeout fields in the socket
structure.
In current implementation negative timeout can lead to error messages like
"schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value".
Proposed patch:
- checks tv_usec and returns -EDOM if it is wrong
- do not allows to set negative timeout values (sets 0 instead) and outputs
ratelimited information message about such attempts.

rtnl_setlink doesn't allow to change subsets of the flags, just to override
the set entirely by a new one. This means that for simply setting a device
up or down userspace first needs to query the current flags, change it and
send the changed flags back, which is racy and needlessly complicated.
Mask the flags using ifi_change since this is what it is intended for.
For backwards compatibility treat ifi_change == 0 as ~0 (even though it
seems quite unlikely that anyone has been using this so far).

Kenji Kaneshige found this race between device removal and
registration. On unregister it is possible for the old device to
exist, because sysfs file is still open. A new device with 'eth%d'
will select the same name, but sysfs kobject register will fial.
The following changes the shutdown order slightly. It hold a removes
the sysfs entries earlier (on unregister_netdevice), but holds a
kobject reference. Then when todo runs the actual last put free
happens.

Urgent events may be delayed if we already have a non-urgent event
queued for that device. This patch changes this by making sure that
an urgent event is always looked at immediately.
I've replaced the LW_RUNNING flag by LW_URGENT since whether work
is scheduled is already kept track by the work queue system.
The only complication is that we have to provide some exclusion for
the setting linkwatch_nextevent which is available in the actual
work function.

Currently all link carrier events are delayed by up to a second
before they're processed to prevent link storms. This causes
unnecessary packet loss during that interval.
In fact, we can achieve the same effect in preventing storms by
only delaying down events and unnecssary up events. The latter
is defined as up events when we're already up.

These days the link watch mechanism is an integral part of the
network subsystem as it manages the carrier status. So it now
makes sense to allocate some memory for it in net_device rather
than allocating it on demand.
In fact, this is necessary because we can't tolerate a memory
allocation failure since that means we'd have to potentially
throw a link up event away.
It also simplifies the code greatly.
In doing so I discovered a subtle race condition in the use
of singleevent. This race condition still exists (and is
somewhat magnified) without singleevent but it's now plugged
thanks to an smp_mb__before_clear_bit.

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

I noticed recently that, in skb_checksum(), "offset" and "start" are
essentially the same thing and have the same value throughout the
function, despite being computed differently. Using a single variable
allows some cleanups and makes the skb_checksum() function smaller,
more readable, and presumably marginally faster.
We appear to have many other "sk_buff walker" functions built on the
exact same model, so the cleanup applies to them, too. Here is a list
of the functions I found to be affected:
net/appletalk/ddp.c:atalk_sum_skb()
net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_datagram_iovec()
net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_and_csum_datagram()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_bits()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_store_bits()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_checksum()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_and_csum_bit()
net/core/user_dma.c:dma_skb_copy_datagram_iovec()
net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_icv_walk()
net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_to_sgvec()
OTOH, I admit I'm a bit surprised, the cleanup is rather obvious so I'm
really wondering if I am missing something. Can anyone please comment
on this?

The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start
of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload. Unfortunately,
the same pointer is also used during receive side processing.
This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received
packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer
would be overwritten.
This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start
offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose
of checksums. This offset is calculated from skb->head so that
it does not have to change when skb->data changes.
No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within
a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start.
For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with
partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb
transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure
then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if
this were done by default.
1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
->get_stats is set.
This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.
Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

Rules which match against device names in their selector can
remain while the device itself disappears, in fact the device
doesn't have to present when the rule is added in the first
place. The device name is resolved by trying when the rule is
added and later by listening to NETDEV_REGISTER/UNREGISTER
notifications.
This patch adds the flag FIB_RULE_DEV_DETACHED which is set
towards userspace when a rule contains a device match which
is unresolved at the moment. This eases spotting the reason
why certain rules seem not to function properly.
