      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      ipip: Fix handling of DF packets when pmtudisc is OFF · 23ca0c98
      Herbert Xu authored
      
      RFC 2003 requires the outer header to have DF set if DF is set
      on the inner header, even when PMTU discovery is off for the
      tunnel.  Our implementation does exactly that.
      
      For this to work properly the IPIP gateway also needs to engate
      in PMTU when the inner DF bit is set.  As otherwise the original
      host would not be able to carry out its PMTU successfully since
      part of the path is only visible to the gateway.
      
      Unfortunately when the tunnel PMTU discovery setting is off, we
      do not collect the necessary soft state, resulting in blackholes
      when the original host tries to perform PMTU discovery.
      
      This problem is not reproducible on the IPIP gateway itself as
      the inner packet usually has skb->local_df set.  This is not
      correctly cleared (an unrelated bug) when the packet passes
      through the tunnel, which allows fragmentation to occur.  For
      hosts behind the IPIP gateway it is readily visible with a simple
      ping.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by performing PMTU discovery for
      all packets with the inner DF bit set, regardless of the PMTU
      discovery setting on the tunnel itself.

      tunnels: Optimize tx path · 0bfbedb1
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      We currently dirty a cache line to update tunnel device stats
      (tx_packets/tx_bytes). We better use the txq->tx_bytes/tx_packets
      counters that already are present in cpu cache, in the cache
      line shared with txq->_xmit_lock
      
      This patch extends IPTUNNEL_XMIT() macro to use txq pointer
      provided by the caller.
      
      Also &tunnel->dev->stats can be replaced by &dev->stats

      net: fix tunnels in netns after ndo_ changes · be77e593
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      
      dev_net_set() should be the very first thing after alloc_netdev().
      
      "ndo_" changes turned simple assignment (which is OK to do before netns
      assignment) into quite non-trivial operation (which is not OK, init_net was
      used). This leads to incomplete initialisation of tunnel device in netns.

      [INET]: Don't create tunnels with '%' in name. · b37d428b
      Pavel Emelyanov authored
      
      Four tunnel drivers (ip_gre, ipip, ip6_tunnel and sit) can receive a
      pre-defined name for a device from the userspace.  Since these drivers
      call the register_netdevice() (rtnl_lock, is held), which does _not_
      generate the device's name, this name may contain a '%' character.
      
      Not sure how bad is this to have a device with a '%' in its name, but
      all the other places either use the register_netdev(), which call the
      dev_alloc_name(), or explicitly call the dev_alloc_name() before
      registering, i.e. do not allow for such names.
      
      This had to be prior to the commit 34cc7b, but I forgot to number the
      patches and this one got lost, sorry.
