Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

Pull networking update from David Miller:

1) Checkpoint/restarted TCP sockets now can properly propagate the TCP
timestamp offset. From Andrey Vagin.

2) VMWARE VM VSOCK layer, from Andy King.

3) Much improved support for virtual functions and SR-IOV in bnx2x,
from Ariel ELior.

4) All protocols on ipv4 and ipv6 are now network namespace aware, and
all the compatability checks for initial-namespace-only protocols is
removed. Thanks to Tom Parkin for helping deal with the last major
holdout, L2TP.

5) IPV6 support in netpoll and network namespace support in pktgen,
from Cong Wang.

6) Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) and Multiple VLAN Registration
Protocol (MVRP) support, from David Ward.

7) Compute packet lengths more accurately in the packet scheduler, from
Eric Dumazet.

8) Use per-task page fragment allocator in skb_append_datato_frags(),
also from Eric Dumazet.

9) Add support for connection tracking labels in netfilter, from
Florian Westphal.

10) Fix default multicast group joining on ipv6, and add anti-spoofing
checks to 6to4 and 6rd. From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

11) Make ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation memory limits more reasonable in modern
times, rearrange inet frag datastructures for better cacheline
locality, and move more operations outside of locking. From Jesper
Dangaard Brouer.

12) Instead of strict master <--> slave relationships, allow arbitrary
scenerios with "upper device lists". From Jiri Pirko.

13) Improve rate limiting accuracy in TBF and act_police, also from Jiri
Pirko.

14) Add a BPF filter netfilter match target, from Willem de Bruijn.

15) Orphan and delete a bunch of pre-historic networking drivers from
Paul Gortmaker.

16) Add TSO support for GRE tunnels, from Pravin B SHelar. Although
this still needs some minor bug fixing before it's %100 correct in
all cases.

17) Handle unresolved IPSEC states like ARP, with a resolution packet
queue. From Steffen Klassert.

18) Remove TCP Appropriate Byte Count support (ABC), from Stephen
Hemminger. This was long overdue.

19) Support SO_REUSEPORT, from Tom Herbert.

20) Allow locking a socket BPF filter, so that it cannot change after a
process drops capabilities.

21) Add VLAN filtering to bridge, from Vlad Yasevich.

22) Bring ipv6 on-par with ipv4 and do not cache neighbour entries in
the ipv6 routes, from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki.

Merge branch 'vsock'

Andy King says:

====================
In an effort to improve the out-of-the-box experience with Linux kernels for
VMware users, VMware is working on readying the VM Sockets (VSOCK, formerly
VMCI Sockets) (vsock) kernel module for inclusion in the Linux kernel. The
purpose of this post is to acquire feedback on the vsock kernel module.

Unlike previous submissions, where the new socket family was entirely reliant
on VMware's VMCI PCI device (and thus VMware's hypervisor), VM Sockets is now
completely[1] separated out into two parts, each in its own module:

o Core socket code, which is transport-neutral and invokes transport
callbacks to communicate with the hypervisor. This is vsock.ko.
o A VMCI transport, which communicates over VMCI with the VMware hypervisor.
This is vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko, and it registers with the core module
as a transport.

This should provide a path to introducing additional transports, for example
virtio, with the ultimate goal being to make this new socket family
hypervisor-neutral.

[1] If Gerd tries it and determines this to be false (still), I'll ship him
a keg of beer.

VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets

VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor.
User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the
VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between
guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be
compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided.

Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest
for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to
this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where
network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples
of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware
running as host applications and automated testing of applications running
within virtual machines.

The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX
socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented
stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM
Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations
split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.

For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the
VM Sockets Programming Guide available at:

Merge branch 'delete-wanrouter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

Paul Gortmaker says:

====================
The removal of wanrouter code was originally listed in the (now
gone) feature removal file since May 2012, and an RFC of the
deletion was posted[1] in late 2012. The overall concept was given
an OK, but defconfig contamination, build failures, etc. meant that
it didn't quite make it into mainline for 3.8.

Since that time, Dan discovered (via code audit) a runtime bug that
proves nobody has been using this for over four years[2]. With that
new information, I think it makes sense for someone to follow through
on Joe's original RFC and get this done for the 3.9 release.

In addition to resolving the build failures of the RFC by keeping
stub headers, this also splits the change into two parts, just like
the token ring removal did. Part #1 decouples the mainline kernel
from the expired subsystem, and part #2 does the large scale
deletion of the subsystem content.

The advantage of the above, is that a "git blame" will never lead
you to a 4000+ line deletion commit. The large scale deletion will
never show up in a "git blame" and hence the same advantages that we
get from the "--irreversible-delete" in the review stage of "git
format-patch" are also embedded into the git history itself. This
may seem like a moot point to some, but for those who spend a
considerable amount of time data mining in the git history, this is
probably worth doing.

I have done build tests of all[mod/yes]config for both the stage 1
(Makefile and Kconfig) and stage 2 (full driver delete) as a sanity
check, and the issues with the previously posted RFC should be gone.

Speaking of "--irreversible-delete" -- these patches were created
with that option, so if you want to use them locally, you are going
to have to pull (location below) the content instead of doing a
"git am" of the mailed out content.

wanrouter: completely decouple obsolete code from kernel.

The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier
with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2bcc5de8a17af5f2274f7fcde8292b5fc
("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012.

More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a
fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit
7be6065b39c3 ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of
netdev->priv"). So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been
used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail
report of breakage for at least 4 years.

This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going
after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline
files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver
deletion commit tied into their history.

Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx
drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

Pull networking changes from David Miller:

1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded
goto.

2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul
Gortmaker.

3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from
Eric Dumazet.

4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard
Cochran and Jacob Keller.

5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via
ethtool, from Richard Cochran.

6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko. Part
of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets,
and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one.

7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous
uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it
completely but it's used for ISA probing still.

8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc. I know, who cares, right? :-)

9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability
mode interfaces in the sysctl code. From Eric W Biederman.

10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via
TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as
well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the
sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE. There is also a
TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options
enabled on the connection.

11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can
enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly.

a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know
we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page().

b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather
than SLAB kmalloc'd memory. In particular devices which were
receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged
data.

The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy
any more.

12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP.
What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his
receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really
doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer
space.

sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case,
so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send
buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former.

Also from Eric Dumazet.

13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and
Chris Elston.

14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng.
Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack
threshold under certain conditions.

15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric
Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht.

Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits
are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than
the queue length (which is what RED uses).
