This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and
(including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really
add too many bytes to module text. All the complexity (and size) comes with
the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's
plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid
a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too).
Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify
multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string.
Brief overview:
We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock). Get rid of the static
"default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our
netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour
such as default values). During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the
separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option
string. The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup. During
exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

Add an interface to the AF_RXRPC module so that the AFS filesystem module can
more easily make use of the services available. AFS still opens a socket but
then uses the action functions in lieu of sendmsg() and registers an intercept
functions to grab messages before they're queued on the socket Rx queue.
This permits AFS (or whatever) to:
(1) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call.
(2) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket
rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it
might want to use.
(3) Avoid calling request_key() at the point of issue of a call or opening of
a socket. This is done instead by AFS at the point of open(), unlink() or
other VFS operation and the key handed through.
(4) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory.
Furthermore:
(*) The socket buffer markings used by RxRPC are made available for AFS so
that it can interpret the cooked RxRPC messages itself.
(*) rxgen (un)marshalling abort codes are made available.
The following documentation for the kernel interface is added to
Documentation/networking/rxrpc.txt:
=========================
AF_RXRPC KERNEL INTERFACE
=========================
The AF_RXRPC module also provides an interface for use by in-kernel utilities
such as the AFS filesystem. This permits such a utility to:
(1) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket
rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it
might want to use.
(2) Avoid having RxRPC call request_key() at the point of issue of a call or
opening of a socket. Instead the utility is responsible for requesting a
key at the appropriate point. AFS, for instance, would do this during VFS
operations such as open() or unlink(). The key is then handed through
when the call is initiated.
(3) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory.
(4) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call. RxRPC messages can be
intercepted before they get put into the socket Rx queue and the socket
buffers manipulated directly.
To use the RxRPC facility, a kernel utility must still open an AF_RXRPC socket,
bind an addess as appropriate and listen if it's to be a server socket, but
then it passes this to the kernel interface functions.
The kernel interface functions are as follows:
(*) Begin a new client call.
struct rxrpc_call *
rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(struct socket *sock,
struct sockaddr_rxrpc *srx,
struct key *key,
unsigned long user_call_ID,
gfp_t gfp);
This allocates the infrastructure to make a new RxRPC call and assigns
call and connection numbers. The call will be made on the UDP port that
the socket is bound to. The call will go to the destination address of a
connected client socket unless an alternative is supplied (srx is
non-NULL).
If a key is supplied then this will be used to secure the call instead of
the key bound to the socket with the RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY sockopt. Calls
secured in this way will still share connections if at all possible.
The user_call_ID is equivalent to that supplied to sendmsg() in the
control data buffer. It is entirely feasible to use this to point to a
kernel data structure.
If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
properly ended.
(*) End a client call.
void rxrpc_kernel_end_call(struct rxrpc_call *call);
This is used to end a previously begun call. The user_call_ID is expunged
from AF_RXRPC's knowledge and will not be seen again in association with
the specified call.
(*) Send data through a call.
int rxrpc_kernel_send_data(struct rxrpc_call *call, struct msghdr *msg,
size_t len);
This is used to supply either the request part of a client call or the
reply part of a server call. msg.msg_iovlen and msg.msg_iov specify the
data buffers to be used. msg_iov may not be NULL and must point
exclusively to in-kernel virtual addresses. msg.msg_flags may be given
MSG_MORE if there will be subsequent data sends for this call.
The msg must not specify a destination address, control data or any flags
other than MSG_MORE. len is the total amount of data to transmit.
(*) Abort a call.
void rxrpc_kernel_abort_call(struct rxrpc_call *call, u32 abort_code);
This is used to abort a call if it's still in an abortable state. The
abort code specified will be placed in the ABORT message sent.
(*) Intercept received RxRPC messages.
typedef void (*rxrpc_interceptor_t)(struct sock *sk,
unsigned long user_call_ID,
struct sk_buff *skb);
void
rxrpc_kernel_intercept_rx_messages(struct socket *sock,
rxrpc_interceptor_t interceptor);
This installs an interceptor function on the specified AF_RXRPC socket.
All messages that would otherwise wind up in the socket's Rx queue are
then diverted to this function. Note that care must be taken to process
the messages in the right order to maintain DATA message sequentiality.
The interceptor function itself is provided with the address of the socket
and handling the incoming message, the ID assigned by the kernel utility
to the call and the socket buffer containing the message.
The skb->mark field indicates the type of message:
MARK MEANING
=============================== =======================================
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_DATA Data message
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_FINAL_ACK Final ACK received for an incoming call
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_BUSY Client call rejected as server busy
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_REMOTE_ABORT Call aborted by peer
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NET_ERROR Network error detected
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_LOCAL_ERROR Local error encountered
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NEW_CALL New incoming call awaiting acceptance
The remote abort message can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code().
The two error messages can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number().
A new call can be accepted with rxrpc_kernel_accept_call().
Data messages can have their contents extracted with the usual bunch of
socket buffer manipulation functions. A data message can be determined to
be the last one in a sequence with rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(). When a
data message has been used up, rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered() should be
called on it..
Non-data messages should be handled to rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() to dispose
of. It is possible to get extra refs on all types of message for later
freeing, but this may pin the state of a call until the message is finally
freed.
(*) Accept an incoming call.
struct rxrpc_call *
rxrpc_kernel_accept_call(struct socket *sock,
unsigned long user_call_ID);
This is used to accept an incoming call and to assign it a call ID. This
function is similar to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() and calls accepted must
be ended in the same way.
If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
properly ended.
(*) Reject an incoming call.
int rxrpc_kernel_reject_call(struct socket *sock);
This is used to reject the first incoming call on the socket's queue with
a BUSY message. -ENODATA is returned if there were no incoming calls.
Other errors may be returned if the call had been aborted (-ECONNABORTED)
or had timed out (-ETIME).
(*) Record the delivery of a data message and free it.
void rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to record a data message as having been delivered and to
update the ACK state for the call. The socket buffer will be freed.
(*) Free a message.
void rxrpc_kernel_free_skb(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to free a non-DATA socket buffer intercepted from an AF_RXRPC
socket.
(*) Determine if a data message is the last one on a call.
bool rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to determine if a socket buffer holds the last data message
to be received for a call (true will be returned if it does, false
if not).
The data message will be part of the reply on a client call and the
request on an incoming call. In the latter case there will be more
messages, but in the former case there will not.
(*) Get the abort code from an abort message.
u32 rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to extract the abort code from a remote abort message.
(*) Get the error number from a local or network error message.
int rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to extract the error number from a message indicating either
a local error occurred or a network error occurred.

* generic routines are all located in net/ipv4/udp.c
* UDP-Lite specific routines are in net/ipv4/udplite.c
* MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/udplite
* shared API with extensions for partial checksum coverage
[NET/IPv6]: Extension for UDP-Lite over IPv6
It extends the existing UDPv6 code base with support for UDP-Lite
in the same manner as per UDPv4. In particular,
* UDPv6 generic and shared code is in net/ipv6/udp.c
* UDP-Litev6 specific extensions are in net/ipv6/udplite.c
* MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp6 and /proc/net/udplite6
* support for IPV6_ADDRFORM
* aligned the coding style of protocol initialisation with af_inet6.c
* made the error handling in udpv6_queue_rcv_skb consistent;
to return `-1' on error on all error cases
* consolidation of shared code

The UDP-Lite patch further provides
* API documentation for UDP-Lite
* basic xfrm support
* basic netfilter support for IPv4 and IPv6 (LOG target)

This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control
packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation).
It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code.
The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised
not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values.
This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet.
Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit
the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries
(also a bit like in TCP).

This patch does the following:
a) introduces variable-length checksums as specified in [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2]
b) provides necessary socket options and documentation as to how to use them
c) basic support and infrastructure for the Minimum Checksum Coverage feature
[RFC 4340, sec. 9.2.1]: acceptability tests, user notification and user
interface
In addition, it
(1) fixes two bugs in the DCCPv4 checksum computation:
* pseudo-header used checksum_len instead of skb->len
* incorrect checksum coverage calculation based on dccph_x
(2) removes dccp_v4_verify_checksum() since it reduplicates code of the
checksum computation; code calling this function is updated accordingly.
(3) now uses skb_checksum(), which is safer than checksum_partial() if the
sk_buff has is a non-linear buffer (has pages attached to it).
(4) fixes an outstanding TODO item:
* If P.CsCov is too large for the packet size, drop packet and return.
The code has been tested with applications, the latest version of tcpdump now
comes with support for partial DCCP checksums.

For example, to allow any choice:
cp /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_available_congestion_control \
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control

Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII
interface. However, a growing number are connected over
different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII.
The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it
is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect
(or phy_attach).
Changes include:
* Updates to documentation
* Updates to PHY Lib consumers
* Changes to PHY Lib to add interface support
* Some minor changes to whitespace in phy.h
* gianfar driver now detects interface and passes appropriate
value to PHY Lib
