73ca4918fb [NET_SCHED]: act_api: qdisc internal reclassify support
The behaviour of NET_CLS_POLICE for TC_POLICE_RECLASSIFY was to return
it to the qdisc, which could handle it internally or ignore it. With
NET_CLS_ACT however, tc_classify starts over at the first classifier
and never returns it to the qdisc. This makes it impossible to support
qdisc-internal reclassification, which in turn makes it impossible to
remove the old NET_CLS_POLICE code without breaking compatibility since
we have two qdiscs (CBQ and ATM) that support this.

This patch adds a tc_classify_compat function that handles
reclassification the old way and changes CBQ and ATM to use it.

This again is of course not fully backwards compatible with the previous
NET_CLS_ACT behaviour. Unfortunately there is no way to fully maintain
compatibility *and* support qdisc internal reclassification with
NET_CLS_ACT, but this seems like the better choice over keeping the two
incompatible options around forever.

0621ed2e4e [NET_SCHED]: Revert "avoid transmit softirq on watchdog wakeup" optimization
As noticed by Ranko Zivojnovic <ranko@spidernet.net>, calling qdisc_run
from the timer handler can result in deadlock:

> CPU#0
>
> qdisc_watchdog() fires and gets dev->queue_lock
> qdisc_run()...qdisc_restart()...
> -> releases dev->queue_lock and enters dev_hard_start_xmit()
>
> CPU#1
>
> tc del qdisc dev ...
> qdisc_graft()...dev_graft_qdisc()...dev_deactivate()...
> -> grabs dev->queue_lock ...
>
> qdisc_reset()...{cbq,hfsc,htb,netem,tbf}_reset()...qdisc_watchdog_cancel()...
> -> hrtimer_cancel() - waiting for the qdisc_watchdog() to exit, while still
>		        holding dev->queue_lock
>
> CPU#0
>
> dev_hard_start_xmit() returns ...
> -> wants to get dev->queue_lock(!)
>
> DEADLOCK!

The entire optimization is a bit questionable IMO, it moves potentially
large parts of NET_TX_SOFTIRQ work to TIMER_SOFTIRQ/HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ,
which kind of defeats the separation of them.

e50c41b53d [NET]: qdisc_restart - couple of optimizations.
Changes :

- netif_queue_stopped need not be called inside qdisc_restart as
  it has been called already in qdisc_run() before the first skb
  is sent, and in __qdisc_run() after each intermediate skb is
  sent (note : we are the only sender, so the queue cannot get
  stopped while the tx lock was got in the ~LLTX case).

- BUG_ON((int) q->q.qlen < 0) was a relic from old times when -1
  meant more packets are available, and __qdisc_run used to loop
  when qdisc_restart() returned -1. During those days, it was
  necessary to make sure that qlen is never less than zero, since
  __qdisc_run would get into an infinite loop if no packets are on
  the queue and this bug in qdisc was there (and worse - no more
  skbs could ever get queue'd as we hold the queue lock too). With
  Herbert's recent change to return values, this check is not
  required.  Hopefully Herbert can validate this change. If at all
  this is required, it should be added to skb_dequeue (in failure
  case), and not to qdisc_qlen.

6c1361a6f2 [NET]: qdisc_restart - readability changes plus one bug fix.
New changes :

- Incorporated Peter Waskiewicz's comments.
- Re-added back one warning message (on driver returning wrong value).

Previous changes :

- Converted to use switch/case code which looks neater.

- "if (ret == NETDEV_TX_LOCKED && lockless)" is buggy, and the lockless
  check should be removed, since driver will return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED only
  if lockless is true and driver has to do the locking. In the original
  code as well as the latest code, this code can result in a bug where
  if LLTX is not set for a driver (lockless == 0) but the driver is written
  wrongly to do a trylock (despite LLTX being set), the driver returns
  LOCKED. But since lockless is zero, the packet is requeue'd instead of
  calling collision code which will issue warning and free up the skb.
  Instead this skb will be retried with this driver next time, and the same
  result will ensue. Removing this check will catch these driver bugs instead
  of hiding the problem. I am keeping this change to readability section
  since :
  	a. it is confusing to check two things as it is; and
  	b. it is difficult to keep this check in the changed 'switch' code.

- Changed some names, like try_get_tx_pkt to dev_dequeue_skb (as that is
  the work being done and easier to understand) and do_dev_requeue to
  dev_requeue_skb, merged handle_dev_cpu_collision and tx_islocked to
  dev_handle_collision (handle_dev_cpu_collision is a small routine with only
  one caller, so there is no need to have two separate routines which also
  results in getting rid of two macros, etc.

- Removed an XXX comment as it should never fail (I suspect this was related
  to batch skb WIP, Jamal ?). Converted some functions to original coding
  style of having the return values and the function name on same line, eg
  prio2list.

41a23b0788 [NET_SCHED]: Avoid requeue warning on dev_deactivate
When we relinquish queue_lock in qdisc_restart and then retake it for
requeueing, we might race against dev_deactivate and end up requeueing
onto noop_qdisc.  This causes a warning to be printed.

This patch fixes this by checking this before we requeue.  As an added
bonus, we can remove the same check in __qdisc_run which was added to
prevent dev->gso_skb from being requeued when we're shutting down.

Even though we've had to add a new conditional in its place, it's better
because it only happens on requeues rather than every single time that
qdisc_run is called.

For this to work we also need to move the clearing of gso_skb up in
dev_deactivate as now qdisc_restart can occur even after we wait for
__LINK_STATE_QDISC_RUNNING to clear (but it won't do anything as long
as the queue and gso_skb is already clear).

processing the queue.  Therefore it's sufficient if we return 0 if
we want to stop and non-zero otherwise.

When transmit fails with NETDEV_TX_LOCKED the skb is requeued
to dev->qdisc again. The dev->qdisc pointer is protected by
the queue lock which needs to be dropped when attempting to
transmit and acquired again before requeing. The problem is
that qdisc_restart() fetches the dev->qdisc pointer once and
stores it in the `q' variable which is invalidated when
dropping the queue_lock, therefore the variable needs to be
refreshed before requeueing.

allowed to send a packet, which is equivalent to cb->time_to_send < now.
Use !PSCHED_TLESS(now, cb->time_to_send) instead to properly handle
cb->time_to_send == now.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

This patch introduces users of the round_jiffies() function in the
networking code.

These timers all were of the "about once a second" or "about once
every X seconds" variety and several showed up in the "what wakes the
cpu up" profiles that the tickless patches provide.  Some timers are
highly dynamic based on network load; but even on low activity systems
they still show up so the rounding is done only in cases of low
activity, allowing higher frequency timers in the high activity case.

The various hardware watchdogs are an obvious case; they run every 2
seconds but aren't otherwise specific of exactly when they need to
run.

Convert HFSC to use qdisc_tree_decrease_len() and add a callback
for deactivating a class when its child queue becomes empty.

All queue purging goes through hfsc_purge_queue(), which is used in
three cases: grafting, class creation (when a leaf class is turned
into an intermediate class by attaching a new class) and class
deletion. In all cases qdisc_tree_decrease_len() is needed.

43effa1e57 [NET_SCHED]: Fix endless loops caused by inaccurate qlen counters (part 1)
There are multiple problems related to qlen adjustment that can lead
to an upper qdisc getting out of sync with the real number of packets
queued, leading to endless dequeueing attempts by the upper layer code.

All qdiscs must maintain an accurate q.qlen counter. There are basically
two groups of operations affecting the qlen: operations that propagate
down the tree (enqueue, dequeue, requeue, drop, reset) beginning at the
root qdisc and operations only affecting a subtree or single qdisc
(change, graft, delete class). Since qlen changes during operations from
the second group don't propagate to ancestor qdiscs, their qlen values
become desynchronized.

This patch adds a function to propagate qlen changes up the qdisc tree,
optionally calling a callback function to perform qdisc-internal
maintenance when the child qdisc becomes empty. The follow-up patches
will convert all qdiscs to use this function where necessary.

Noticed by Timo Steinbach <tsteinbach@astaro.com>.

85670cc1fa [NET_SCHED]: Fix fallout from dev->qdisc RCU change
The move of qdisc destruction to a rcu callback broke locking in the
entire qdisc layer by invalidating previously valid assumptions about
the context in which changes to the qdisc tree occur.

The two assumptions were:

- since changes only happen in process context, read_lock doesn't need
  bottem half protection. Now invalid since destruction of inner qdiscs,
  classifiers, actions and estimators happens in the RCU callback unless
  they're manually deleted, resulting in dead-locks when read_lock in
  process context is interrupted by write_lock_bh in bottem half context.

- since changes only happen under the RTNL, no additional locking is
  necessary for data not used during packet processing (f.e. u32_list).
  Again, since destruction now happens in the RCU callback, this assumption
  is not valid anymore, causing races while using this data, which can
  result in corruption or use-after-free.

Instead of "fixing" this by disabling bottem halfs everywhere and adding
new locks/refcounting, this patch makes these assumptions valid again by
moving destruction back to process context. Since only the dev->qdisc
pointer is protected by RCU, but ->enqueue and the qdisc tree are still
protected by dev->qdisc_lock, destruction of the tree can be performed
immediately and only the final free needs to happen in the rcu callback
to make sure dev_queue_xmit doesn't access already freed memory.

e9ce1cd3cf [PKT_SCHED]: Kill pkt_act.h inlining.
This was simply making templates of functions and mostly causing a lot
of code duplication in the classifier action modules.

We solve this more cleanly by having a common "struct tcf_common" that
hash worker functions contained once in act_api.c can work with.

Callers work with real action objects that have the common struct
plus their module specific struct members.  You go from a common
object to the higher level one using a "to_foo()" macro which makes
use of container_of() to do the dirty work.

This also kills off act_generic.h which was only used by act_simple.c
and keeping it around was more work than the it's value.

This turns out to be a genuine bug.  The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order.  Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:

1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.

2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.

I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up.  The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary.  In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.

The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.

So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.

d4828d85d1 [NET]: Prevent transmission after dev_deactivate
The dev_deactivate function has bit-rotted since the introduction of
lockless drivers.  In particular, the spin_unlock_wait call at the end
has no effect on the xmit routine of lockless drivers.

With a little bit of work, we can make it much more useful by providing
the guarantee that when it returns, no more calls to the xmit routine
of the underlying driver will be made.

The idea is simple.  There are two entry points in to the xmit routine.
The first comes from dev_queue_xmit.  That one is easily stopped by
using synchronize_rcu.  This works because we set the qdisc to noop_qdisc
before the synchronize_rcu call.  That in turn causes all subsequent
packets sent to dev_queue_xmit to be dropped.  The synchronize_rcu call
also ensures all outstanding calls leave their critical section.

The other entry point is from qdisc_run.  Since we now have a bit that
indicates whether it's running, all we have to do is to wait until the
bit is off.

I've removed the loop to wait for __LINK_STATE_SCHED to clear.  This is
useless because netif_wake_queue can cause it to be set again.  It is
also harmless because we've disarmed qdisc_run.

I've also removed the spin_unlock_wait on xmit_lock because its only
purpose of making sure that all outstanding xmit_lock holders have
exited is also given by dev_watchdog_down.

48d83325b6 [NET]: Prevent multiple qdisc runs
Having two or more qdisc_run's contend against each other is bad because
it can induce packet reordering if the packets have to be requeued.  It
appears that this is an unintended consequence of relinquinshing the queue
lock while transmitting.  That in turn is needed for devices that spend a
lot of time in their transmit routine.

There are no advantages to be had as devices with queues are inherently
single-threaded (the loopback device is not but then it doesn't have a
queue).

Even if you were to add a queue to a parallel virtual device (e.g., bolt
a tbf filter in front of an ipip tunnel device), you would still want to
process the queue in sequence to ensure that the packets are ordered
correctly.

The solution here is to steal a bit from net_device to prevent this.

BTW, as qdisc_restart is no longer used by anyone as a module inside the
kernel (IIRC it used to with netif_wake_queue), I have not exported the
new __qdisc_run function.

932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.
