This patch fixes an issue where the send(MSG_DONTWAIT) call
on a TX_RING is not fully non-blocking in cases where the device's sndBuf is
full. We pass nonblock=true to sock_alloc_send_skb() and return any possibly
occuring error code (most likely EGAIN) to the caller. As the fast-path stays
as it is, we keep the unlikely() around skb == NULL.

Having to say
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
> struct net *net;
> #endif
in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone.
Instead it is possible to say:
> typedef struct {
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
> struct net *net;
> #endif
> } possible_net_t;
And then in a header say:
> possible_net_t net;
Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the
possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options.
Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all
cases which is better at catching typos.
This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet
and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that
write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes
up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.

When an interface is deleted from a net namespace the ifindex in the
corresponding entries in PF_PACKET sockets' mclists becomes stale.
This can create inconsistencies if later an interface with the same ifindex
is moved from a different namespace (not that unlikely since ifindexes are
per-namespace).
In particular we saw problems with dev->promiscuity, resulting
in "promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity
feature of device might be broken" warnings and EOVERFLOW failures of
setsockopt(PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP).
This patch deletes the mclist entries for interfaces that are deleted.
Since this now causes setsockopt(PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP) to fail with
EADDRNOTAVAIL if called after the interface is deleted, also make
packet_mc_drop not fail.

Before da413eec72 ("packet: Fixed TPACKET V3 to signal poll when block is

not signaled if there was no packets to process. After the patch poll is
signaled evety time when block retire timer expires. That happens because
af_packet closes the current block on timeout even if the block is empty.
Passing empty blocks to the user not only wastes CPU but also wastes ring
buffer space increasing probability of packets dropping on small timeouts.

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.
This makes the very common pattern of
if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
return nlmsg_end(...);
and the caller is expected to deal with it.
This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write
if (my_function(...))
/* error condition */
and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.
Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did
- return nlmsg_end(...);
+ nlmsg_end(...);
+ return 0;
I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.
One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

Make TPACKET_V3 signal poll when block is closed rather than for every
packet. Side effect is that poll will be signaled when block retire
timer expires which didn't previously happen. Issue was visible when
sending packets at a very low frequency such that all blocks are retired
before packets are received by TPACKET_V3. This caused avoidable packet
loss. The fix ensures that the signal is sent when blocks are closed
which covers the normal path where the block is filled as well as the
path where the timer expires. The case where a block is filled without
moving to the next block (ie. all blocks are full) will still cause poll
to be signaled.

privileged executable did not intend to do.
To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:
skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);
But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.
Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.
And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.
So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Quite often it can be useful to test with dummy or similar

equipped with a single txq, but marked as NETIF_F_LLTX as
they do not require locking their internal queues on xmit

HARD_TX_{UN,}LOCK API, so that NETIF_F_LLTX will be respected.

Commit 57f89bfa21 ("network: Allow af_packet to transmit +4 bytes
for VLAN packets.") added the possibility for non-mmaped frames to
send extra 4 byte for VLAN header so the MTU increases from 1500 to
1504 byte, for example.
Commit cbd89acb9e ("af_packet: fix for sending VLAN frames via
packet_mmap") attempted to fix that for the mmap part but was
reverted as it caused regressions while using eth_type_trans()
on output path.
Lets just act analogous to 57f89bfa21 and add a similar logic
to TX_RING. We presume size_max as overcharged with +4 bytes and
later on after skb has been built by tpacket_fill_skb() check
for ETH_P_8021Q header on packets larger than normal MTU. Can
be easily reproduced with a slightly modified trafgen in mmap(2)
mode, test cases:
{ fill(0xff, 12) const16(0x8100) fill(0xff, <1504|1505>) }
{ fill(0xff, 12) const16(0x0806) fill(0xff, <1500|1501>) }
Note that we need to do the test right after tpacket_fill_skb()
as sockets can have PACKET_LOSS set where we would not fail but
instead just continue to traverse the ring.

Mathias reported that on an AMD Geode LX embedded board (ALiX)
with ath9k driver PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, introduced in commit
d346a3fae3 ("packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket
option"), triggers a WARN_ON() coming from the driver itself
via 066dae93bd ("ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix
queue stopping/waking").
The reason why this happened is that ndo_select_queue() call
is not invoked from direct xmit path i.e. for ieee80211 subsystem
that sets queue and TID (similar to 802.1d tag) which is being
put into the frame through 802.11e (WMM, QoS). If that is not
set, pending frame counter for e.g. ath9k can get messed up.
So the WARN_ON() in ath9k is absolutely legitimate. Generally,
the hw queue selection in ieee80211 depends on the type of
traffic, and priorities are set according to ieee80211_ac_numbers
mapping; working in a similar way as DiffServ only on a lower
layer, so that the AP can favour frames that have "real-time"
requirements like voice or video data frames.
Therefore, check for presence of ndo_select_queue() in netdev
ops and, if available, invoke it with a fallback handler to
__packet_pick_tx_queue(), so that driver such as bnx2x, ixgbe,
or mlx4 can still select a hw queue for transmission in
relation to the current CPU while e.g. ieee80211 subsystem
can make their own choices.

This patch adds a queue mapping mode to the fanout operation of af_packet
sockets. This allows user space af_packet users to better filter on flows
ingressing and egressing via a specific hardware queue, and avoids the potential
packet reordering that can occur when FANOUT_CPU is being used and irq affinity
varies.
Tested successfully by myself. applies to net-next

As David Laight suggests, we shouldn't necessarily call this
reciprocal_divide() when users didn't requested a reciprocal_value();
lets keep the basic idea and call it reciprocal_scale(). More
background information on this topic can be found in [1].
Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

Many functions have open coded a function that returns a random
number in range [0,N-1]. Under the assumption that we have a PRNG
such as taus113 with being well distributed in [0, ~0U] space,
we can implement such a function as uword t = (n*m')>>32, where
m' is a random number obtained from PRNG, n the right open interval
border and t our resulting random number, with n,m',t in u32 universe.
Lets go with Joe and simply call it prandom_u32_max(), although
technically we have an right open interval endpoint, but that we
have documented. Other users can further be migrated to the new
prandom_u32_max() function later on; for now, we need to make sure
to migrate reciprocal_divide() users for the reciprocal_divide()
follow-up fixup since their function signatures are going to change.
