dc1aed37d1 tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage
The tipc_printf is renamed to tipc_snprintf, as the new name
describes more what the function actually does.  It is also
changed to take a buffer and length parameter and return
number of characters written to the buffer.  All callers of
this function that used to pass a print_buf are updated.

Final removal of the struct print_buf itself will be done
synchronously with the pending removal of the deprecated
logging code that also was using it.

Functions that build up a response message with a list of
ports, nametable contents etc. are changed to return the number
of characters written to the output buffer. This information
was previously hidden in a field of the print_buf struct, and
the number of chars written was fetched with a call to
tipc_printbuf_validate.  This function is removed since it
is no longer referenced nor needed.

A generic max size ULTRA_STRING_MAX_LEN is defined, named
in keeping with the existing TIPC_TLV_ULTRA_STRING, and the
various definitions in port, link and nametable code that
largely duplicated this information are removed.  This means
that amount of link statistics that can be returned is now
increased from 2k to 32k.

The buffer overflow check is now done just before the reply
message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and
the message indicating a truncated buffer is changed to a less
dramatic one (less CAPS), placed at the end of the message.

e2dbd60134 tipc: simplify print buffer handling in tipc_printf
tipc_printf was previously used both to construct debug traces
and to append data to buffers that should be sent over netlink
to the tipc-config application.  A global print_buffer was
used to format the string before it was copied to the actual
output buffer.  This could lead to concurrent access of the
global print_buffer, which then had to be lock protected.
This is simplified by changing tipc_printf to append data
directly to the output buffer using vscnprintf.

With the new implementation of tipc_printf, there is no longer
any risk of concurrent access to the internal log buffer, so
the lock (and the comments describing it) are no longer
strictly necessary.  However, there are still a few functions
that do grab this lock before resizing/dumping the log
buffer.  We leave the lock, and these functions untouched since
they will be removed with a subsequent commit that drops the
deprecated log buffer handling code

5deedde9fa tipc: simplify link_print by divorcing it from using tipc_printf
To pave the way for a pending cleanup of tipc_printf, and
removal of struct print_buf entirely, we make that task simpler
by converting link_print to issue its messages with standard
printk infrastructure.  [Original idea separated from a larger
patch from Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@ericsson.com>]

568fc588fc tipc: remove TIPC packet debugging functions and macros
The link queue traces and packet level debug functions served
a purpose during early development, but are now redundant
since there are other, more capable tools available for
debugging at the packet level.

The TIPC_DEBUG Kconfig option is removed since it does not
provide any extra debugging features anymore.

This gets rid of a lot of tipc_printf usages, which will
make the pending cleanup work of that function easier.

2cf8aa19fe tipc: use standard printk shortcut macros (pr_err etc.)
All messages should go directly to the kernel log.  The TIPC
specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are
removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn,
pr_info and pr_debug.

Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const
char to reduce .text size.

Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug),
are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC
specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG).  The latter will be
phased out completely

f705ab956b tipc: limit error messages relating to memory leak to one line
With the default name table size of 1024, it is possible that
the sanity check in tipc_nametbl_stop could spam out 1024
essentially identical error messages if memory was corrupted
or similar.  Limit it to issuing no more than a single message.

The actual chain number (i.e. 0 --> 1023) wouldn't provide any
useful insight if/when such an instance happened, so don't
bother printing out that value.

b28ba72665 IPoIB: fix skb truesize underestimatiom
Or Gerlitz reported triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE(delta < len); in
skb_try_coalesce()
This warning tracks drivers that incorrectly set skb->truesize

IPoIB indeed allocates a full page to store a fragment, but only
accounts in skb->truesize the used part of the page (frame length)

This patch fixes skb truesize underestimation, and
also fixes a performance issue, because RX skbs have not enough tailroom
to allow IP and TCP stacks to pull their header in skb linear part
without an expensive call to pskb_expand_head()

efc73f4bbc net: Fix memory leak - vlan_info struct
In driver reload test there is a memory leak.
The structure vlan_info was not freed when the driver was removed.
It was not released since the nr_vids var is one after last vlan was removed.
The nr_vids is one, since vlan zero is added to the interface when the interface
is being set, but the vlan zero is not deleted at unregister.
Fix - delete vlan zero when we unregister the device.

5c8b73ca43 lance: remove unnecessary setting of skb->dev
skb->dev is being unnecessarily set during ring init.  It is already being set
to the proper value when eth_type_trans is called on packet receive, and the
skb->dev is not referenced anywhere else in the code.

1a203cb33a ipv6: optimize ipv6 addresses compares
On 64 bit arches having efficient unaligned accesses (eg x86_64) we can
use long words to reduce number of instructions for free.

Joe Perches suggested to change ipv6_masked_addr_cmp() to return a bool
instead of 'int', to make sure ipv6_masked_addr_cmp() cannot be used
in a sorting function.

fdd28d7328 Merge branch 'metrics_restructure'
This patch series works towards the goal of minimizing the amount
of things that can change in an ipv4 route.

In a regime where the routing cache is removed, route changes will
lead to cloning in the FIB tables or similar.

The largest trigger of route metrics writes, TCP, now has it's own
cache of dynamic metric state.  The timewait timestamps are stored
there now as well.

As a result of that, pre-cowing metrics is no longer necessary,
and therefore FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS is removed.

Redirect and PMTU handling is moved back into the ipv4 routes.  I'm
sorry for all the headaches trying to do this in the inetpeer has
caused, it was the wrong approach for sure.

Since metrics become read-only for ipv4 we no longer need the inetpeer
hung off of the ipv4 routes either.  So those disappear too.

Also, timewait sockets no longer need to hold onto an inetpeer either.

After this series, we still have some details to resolve wrt. PMTU and
redirects for a route-cache-less system:

1) With just the plain route cache removal, PMTU will continue to
   work mostly fine.  This is because of how the local route users
   call down into the PMTU update code with the route they already
   hold.

   However, if we wish to cache pre-computed routes in fib_info
   nexthops (which we want for performance), then we need to add
   route cloning for PMTU events.

2) Redirects require more work.  First, redirects must be changed to
   be handled like PMTU.  Wherein we call down into the sockets and
   other entities, and then they call back into the routing code with
   the route they were using.

   So we'll be adding an ->update_nexthop() method alongside
   ->update_pmtu().

   And then, like for PMTU, we'll need cloning support once we start
   caching routes in the fib_info nexthops.

But that's it, we can completely pull the trigger and remove the
routing cache with minimal disruptions.

As it is, this patch series alone helps a lot of things.  For one,
routing cache entry creation should be a lot faster, because we no
longer do inetpeer lookups (even to check if an entry exists).

This patch series also opens the door for non-DST_HOST ipv4 routes,
because nothing fundamentally cares about rt->rt_dst any more.  It
can be removed with the base routing cache removal patch.  In fact,
that was the primary goal of this patch series.
