Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) The addition of nftables. No longer will we need protocol aware firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace. At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata (arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions. Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as fundamental operations. For example sets are supports, and therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate byte codes to do such lookups. Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel. Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating portions of the ruleset. In the existing netfilter implementation, one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and this is very expensive. Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the new stuff. Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have worked so hard on this. 2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things. In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test cases are added. 3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet and Yang Yingliang. 4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin Sujir. 5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet, Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng. 6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary control message data, much like other socket option attributes. From Francesco Fusco. 7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we can do it for connected UDP sockets too. Implementation from Shawn Bohrer. 10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux performance for listening sockets. With the main goals being able to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the listening lock contention. From Eric Dumazet. 11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the RCU usage to even more locations. From Ding Tianhong and Wang Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav Falico. 12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow segmentation offloading over tunnels. From Eric Dumazet. 13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as well as syncookies. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. The key fundamental operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys. Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and our generic flow dissector. 14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to explicitly set it to NULL any more. Many drivers have been cleaned up in this way, from Jingoo Han. 15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann. 16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled. Also from Daniel Borkmann. 17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces using the interface MTU value. This helps avoid PMTU attacks, particularly on DNS servers. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal (re-)implementation in virtio-net. From Jason Wang. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1622 commits) random32: add test cases for taus113 implementation random32: upgrade taus88 generator to taus113 from errata paper random32: move rnd_state to linux/random.h random32: add prandom_reseed_late() and call when nonblocking pool becomes initialized random32: add periodic reseeding random32: fix off-by-one in seeding requirement PHY: Add RTL8201CP phy_driver to realtek xtsonic: add missing platform_set_drvdata() in xtsonic_probe() macmace: add missing platform_set_drvdata() in mace_probe() ethernet/arc/arc_emac: add missing platform_set_drvdata() in arc_emac_probe() ipv6: protect for_each_sk_fl_rcu in mem_check with rcu_read_lock_bh vlan: Implement vlan_dev_get_egress_qos_mask as an inline. ixgbe: add warning when max_vfs is out of range. igb: Update link modes display in ethtool netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs ip6_output: fragment outgoing reassembled skb properly MAINTAINERS: mv643xx_eth: take over maintainership from Lennart net_sched: tbf: support of 64bit rates ixgbe: deleting dfwd stations out of order can cause null ptr deref ixgbe: fix build err, num_rx_queues is only available with CONFIG_RPS ...

-If you want topology visualization, at least one mesh node must
-be configured as VIS-server:
-
-# echo "server" > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/vis_mode
-
-Each node is either configured as "server" or as "client" (de-
-fault: "client"). Clients send their topology data to the server
-next to them, and server synchronize with other servers. If there
-is no server configured (default) within the mesh, no topology
-information will be transmitted. With these "synchronizing
-servers", there can be 1 or more vis servers sharing the same (or
-at least very similar) data.
-
-When configured as server, you can get a topology snapshot of
-your mesh:
-
-# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/vis_data

-This raw output is intended to be easily parsable and convertable
-with other tools. Have a look at the batctl README if you want a
-vis output in dot or json format for instance and how those out-
-puts could then be visualised in an image.
-
-The raw format consists of comma separated values per entry where
-each entry is giving information about a certain source inter-
-face. Each entry can/has to have the following values:
--> "mac" - mac address of an originator's source interface
- (each line begins with it)
--> "TQ mac value" - src mac's link quality towards mac address
- of a neighbor originator's interface which
- is being used for routing
--> "TT mac" - TT announced by source mac
--> "PRIMARY" - this is a primary interface
--> "SEC mac" - secondary mac address of source
- (requires preceding PRIMARY)
-
-The TQ value has a range from 4 to 255 with 255 being the best.
-The TT entries are showing which hosts are connected to the mesh
-via bat0 or being bridged into the mesh network. The PRIMARY/SEC

In order to receive such messages, CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS must be set.
4.2 Broadcast Manager protocol sockets (SOCK_DGRAM)
+
+ The Broadcast Manager protocol provides a command based configuration
+ interface to filter and send (e.g. cyclic) CAN messages in kernel space.
+
+ Receive filters can be used to down sample frequent messages; detect events
+ such as message contents changes, packet length changes, and do time-out
+ monitoring of received messages.
+
+ Periodic transmission tasks of CAN frames or a sequence of CAN frames can be
+ created and modified at runtime; both the message content and the two
+ possible transmit intervals can be altered.
+
+ A BCM socket is not intended for sending individual CAN frames using the
+ struct can_frame as known from the CAN_RAW socket. Instead a special BCM
+ configuration message is defined. The basic BCM configuration message used
+ to communicate with the broadcast manager and the available operations are
+ defined in the linux/can/bcm.h include. The BCM message consists of a
+ message header with a command ('opcode') followed by zero or more CAN frames.
+ The broadcast manager sends responses to user space in the same form:
+
+ struct bcm_msg_head {
+ __u32 opcode; /* command */
+ __u32 flags; /* special flags */
+ __u32 count; /* run 'count' times with ival1 */
+ struct timeval ival1, ival2; /* count and subsequent interval */
+ canid_t can_id; /* unique can_id for task */
+ __u32 nframes; /* number of can_frames following */
+ struct can_frame frames[0];
+ };
+
+ The aligned payload 'frames' uses the same basic CAN frame structure defined
+ at the beginning of section 4 and in the include/linux/can.h include. All
+ messages to the broadcast manager from user space have this structure.
+
+ Note a CAN_BCM socket must be connected instead of bound after socket
+ creation (example without error checking):
+
+ int s;
+ struct sockaddr_can addr;
+ struct ifreq ifr;
+
+ s = socket(PF_CAN, SOCK_DGRAM, CAN_BCM);
+
+ strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, "can0");
+ ioctl(s, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr);
+
+ addr.can_family = AF_CAN;
+ addr.can_ifindex = ifr.ifr_ifindex;
+
+ connect(s, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr))
+
+ (..)
+
+ The broadcast manager socket is able to handle any number of in flight
+ transmissions or receive filters concurrently. The different RX/TX jobs are
+ distinguished by the unique can_id in each BCM message. However additional
+ CAN_BCM sockets are recommended to communicate on multiple CAN interfaces.
+ When the broadcast manager socket is bound to 'any' CAN interface (=> the
+ interface index is set to zero) the configured receive filters apply to any
+ CAN interface unless the sendto() syscall is used to overrule the 'any' CAN
+ interface index. When using recvfrom() instead of read() to retrieve BCM
+ socket messages the originating CAN interface is provided in can_ifindex.
+
+ 4.2.1 Broadcast Manager operations
+
+ The opcode defines the operation for the broadcast manager to carry out,
+ or details the broadcast managers response to several events, including
+ user requests.
+
+ Transmit Operations (user space to broadcast manager):
+
+ TX_SETUP: Create (cyclic) transmission task.
+
+ TX_DELETE: Remove (cyclic) transmission task, requires only can_id.
+
+ TX_READ: Read properties of (cyclic) transmission task for can_id.
+
+ TX_SEND: Send one CAN frame.
+
+ Transmit Responses (broadcast manager to user space):
+
+ TX_STATUS: Reply to TX_READ request (transmission task configuration).
+
+ TX_EXPIRED: Notification when counter finishes sending at initial interval
+ 'ival1'. Requires the TX_COUNTEVT flag to be set at TX_SETUP.
+
+ Receive Operations (user space to broadcast manager):
+
+ RX_SETUP: Create RX content filter subscription.
+
+ RX_DELETE: Remove RX content filter subscription, requires only can_id.
+
+ RX_READ: Read properties of RX content filter subscription for can_id.
+
+ Receive Responses (broadcast manager to user space):
+
+ RX_STATUS: Reply to RX_READ request (filter task configuration).
+
+ RX_TIMEOUT: Cyclic message is detected to be absent (timer ival1 expired).
+
+ RX_CHANGED: BCM message with updated CAN frame (detected content change).
+ Sent on first message received or on receipt of revised CAN messages.

+ When sending a message to the broadcast manager the 'flags' element may
+ contain the following flag definitions which influence the behaviour:
+
+ SETTIMER: Set the values of ival1, ival2 and count
+
+ STARTTIMER: Start the timer with the actual values of ival1, ival2
+ and count. Starting the timer leads simultaneously to emit a CAN frame.
+
+ TX_COUNTEVT: Create the message TX_EXPIRED when count expires
+
+ TX_ANNOUNCE: A change of data by the process is emitted immediately.
+
+ TX_CP_CAN_ID: Copies the can_id from the message header to each
+ subsequent frame in frames. This is intended as usage simplification. For
+ TX tasks the unique can_id from the message header may differ from the
+ can_id(s) stored for transmission in the subsequent struct can_frame(s).
+
+ RX_FILTER_ID: Filter by can_id alone, no frames required (nframes=0).
+
+ RX_CHECK_DLC: A change of the DLC leads to an RX_CHANGED.
+
+ RX_NO_AUTOTIMER: Prevent automatically starting the timeout monitor.
+
+ RX_ANNOUNCE_RESUME: If passed at RX_SETUP and a receive timeout occured, a
+ RX_CHANGED message will be generated when the (cyclic) receive restarts.
+
+ TX_RESET_MULTI_IDX: Reset the index for the multiple frame transmission.
+
+ RX_RTR_FRAME: Send reply for RTR-request (placed in op->frames[0]).
+
+ 4.2.3 Broadcast Manager transmission timers
+
+ Periodic transmission configurations may use up to two interval timers.
+ In this case the BCM sends a number of messages ('count') at an interval
+ 'ival1', then continuing to send at another given interval 'ival2'. When
+ only one timer is needed 'count' is set to zero and only 'ival2' is used.
+ When SET_TIMER and START_TIMER flag were set the timers are activated.
+ The timer values can be altered at runtime when only SET_TIMER is set.
+
+ 4.2.4 Broadcast Manager message sequence transmission
+
+ Up to 256 CAN frames can be transmitted in a sequence in the case of a cyclic
+ TX task configuration. The number of CAN frames is provided in the 'nframes'
+ element of the BCM message head. The defined number of CAN frames are added
+ as array to the TX_SETUP BCM configuration message.
+
+ /* create a struct to set up a sequence of four CAN frames */
+ struct {
+ struct bcm_msg_head msg_head;
+ struct can_frame frame[4];
+ } mytxmsg;
+
+ (..)
+ mytxmsg.nframes = 4;
+ (..)
+
+ write(s, &mytxmsg, sizeof(mytxmsg));
+
+ With every transmission the index in the array of CAN frames is increased
+ and set to zero at index overflow.
+
+ 4.2.5 Broadcast Manager receive filter timers
+
+ The timer values ival1 or ival2 may be set to non-zero values at RX_SETUP.
+ When the SET_TIMER flag is set the timers are enabled:
+
+ ival1: Send RX_TIMEOUT when a received message is not received again within
+ the given time. When START_TIMER is set at RX_SETUP the timeout detection
+ is activated directly - even without a former CAN frame reception.
+
+ ival2: Throttle the received message rate down to the value of ival2. This
+ is useful to reduce messages for the application when the signal inside the
+ CAN frame is stateless as state changes within the ival2 periode may get
+ lost.
+
+ 4.2.6 Broadcast Manager multiplex message receive filter
+
+ To filter for content changes in multiplex message sequences an array of more
+ than one CAN frames can be passed in a RX_SETUP configuration message. The
+ data bytes of the first CAN frame contain the mask of relevant bits that
+ have to match in the subsequent CAN frames with the received CAN frame.
+ If one of the subsequent CAN frames is matching the bits in that frame data
+ mark the relevant content to be compared with the previous received content.
+ Up to 257 CAN frames (multiplex filter bit mask CAN frame plus 256 CAN
+ filters) can be added as array to the TX_SETUP BCM configuration message.
+
+ /* usually used to clear CAN frame data[] - beware of endian problems! */
+ #define U64_DATA(p) (*(unsigned long long*)(p)->data)
+
+ struct {
+ struct bcm_msg_head msg_head;
+ struct can_frame frame[5];
+ } msg;
+
+ msg.msg_head.opcode = RX_SETUP;
+ msg.msg_head.can_id = 0x42;
+ msg.msg_head.flags = 0;
+ msg.msg_head.nframes = 5;
+ U64_DATA(&msg.frame[0]) = 0xFF00000000000000ULL; /* MUX mask */
+ U64_DATA(&msg.frame[1]) = 0x01000000000000FFULL; /* data mask (MUX 0x01) */
+ U64_DATA(&msg.frame[2]) = 0x0200FFFF000000FFULL; /* data mask (MUX 0x02) */
+ U64_DATA(&msg.frame[3]) = 0x330000FFFFFF0003ULL; /* data mask (MUX 0x33) */
+ U64_DATA(&msg.frame[4]) = 0x4F07FC0FF0000000ULL; /* data mask (MUX 0x4F) */
+
+ write(s, &msg, sizeof(msg));
