19937d0482 ppp_generic: handle non-linear skbs when passing them to pppd
Frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500,
the skb is likely to be non-linear. If the skb needs to be passed to
pppd then the skb data must be read correctly.

The previous commit fixes an issue with accidentally sending skbs
to pppd based on an invalid read of the protocol type. When that
error occurred pppd was reading invalid skb data too.

ea8420e9f5 ppp_generic: pull 2 bytes so that PPP_PROTO(skb) is valid
In ppp_input(), PPP_PROTO(skb) may refer to invalid data in the skb.

If this happens and (proto >= 0xc000 || proto == PPP_CCPFRAG) then
the packet is passed directly to pppd.

This occurs frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU
greater than 1500 because the skb is more likely to be non-linear.

The next 2 bytes need to be pulled in ppp_input(). The pull of 2
bytes in ppp_receive_frame() has been removed as it is no longer
required.

5a0e3ad6af 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.

fa44a73cc7 ppp_generic.c severly whitespace damanged by 9c705260fe
I was just looking at ppp_generic, and noticed that it fairly recently
(as in the last year) got rather mangled with many spaces turned into tabs
in places they very much shouldn't have been.  I tracked it down to commit
9c705260fe (ppp: ppp_mp_explode() redesign).

I am amazed if that patch passed the patch checking script.  I have no
idea what kind of weird editor setting did this, but it has to have been a
weird editor setting or a very unfortunate search and replace gone wrong.
I only found it trying to apply a patch I was playing with and wondering
why it wouldn't apply.  Then I found there were tabs in the middle of
comments that used to be spaces.

Well here is a patch that should fix it up as far as I can tell.

Purely whitespace repair.  No actual code changes.

82b3cc1a2f ppp: fix BUG on non-linear SKB (multilink receive)
PPP does not correctly call pskb_may_pull() on all necessary receive paths
before reading the PPP protocol, thus causing PPP to report seemingly
random 'unsupported protocols' and eventually trigger BUG_ON(skb->len <
skb->data_len) in skb_pull_rcsum() when receiving multilink protocol in
non-linear skbs.

ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() does not call pskb_may_pull() before reading the
protocol number.  For the non-mp receive path this is not a problem, as
this check is done in ppp_receive_frame().  For the mp receive path,
ppp_mp_reconstruct() usually copies the data into a new linear skb.
However, in the case where the frame is made up of a single mp fragment,
the mp header is pulled and the existing skb used.  This skb was then
passed to ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() without checking if the encapsulated
protocol header could safely be read.

a53a8b5682 ppp: fix lost fragments in ppp_mp_explode() (resubmit)
This patch fixes the corner cases where the sum of MTU of the free
channels (adjusted for fragmentation overheads) is less than the MTU
of PPP link.  There are at least 3 situations where this case might
arise:

- some of the channels are busy

- the multilink session is running in a degraded state (i.e. with less
than its full complement of active channels)

- by design, where multilink protocol is being used to artificially
increase the effective link MTU of a single link.

Without this patch, at most 1 fragment is ever sent per free channel
for a given PPP frame and any remaining part of the PPP frame that
does not fit into those fragments is silently discarded.

This patch restores the original behaviour which was broken by commit
9c705260fe 'ppp:ppp_mp_explode()
redesign'.  Once all 'free' channels have been given a fragment, an
additional fragment is queued to each available channel in turn, as many
times as necessary, until the entire PPP frame has been consumed.

9c705260fe ppp: ppp_mp_explode() redesign
I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels
with different speeds to the same bundle.

Problem Description:

As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly
among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to
make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol
that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for
example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel
of the bundle.

Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have
two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast
link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we
have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the
PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in
two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc,
flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it
will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it
will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two
PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The
resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working
@1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle
working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth).


Problem Solution:

The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode"
function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according
to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial
interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to
the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now
divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set
according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be
sent on (e.g .  10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on
1000KB/sec channel).  The reworked function grants the same
performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a
bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while
greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels
working at different speeds.

The original ppp_generic code treated the netdev and struct ppp as
independent data structures which were freed separately. In moving the
ppp struct into the netdev, it is now possible for the private data to
be freed before the call to ppp_shutdown_interface(), which is bad.

The kfree(ppp) in ppp_destroy_interface() is also wrong; presumably
ppp hasn't worked since the above commit.

The following patch fixes both problems.

43f59c8939 net: Remove __skb_insert() calls outside of skbuff internals.
This minor cleanup simplifies later changes which will convert
struct sk_buff and friends over to using struct list_head.

516e0cc564 [PATCH] f_count may wrap around
make it atomic_long_t; while we are at it, get rid of useless checks in affs,
hfs and hpfs - ->open() always has it equal to 1, ->release() - to 0.

e17da9c4c5 device create: net: convert device_create to device_create_drvdata
device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free
device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away.

f2b9857eee Add a bunch of cycle_kernel_lock() calls
All of the open() functions which don't need the BKL on their face may
still depend on its acquisition to serialize opens against driver
initialization.  So make those functions acquire then release the BKL to be
on the safe side.

d21c95c569 Add "no BKL needed" comments to several drivers
This documents the fact that somebody looked at the relevant open()
functions and concluded that, due to their trivial nature, no locking was
needed.

f3ff8a4d80 ppp: push BKL down into the driver
I've pushed it down as far as I dare at this point. Someone familiar with
the internal PPP semantics can probably push it further. Another step to
eliminating the old BKL ioctl usage.

Kill ppp_net_stats function, because by default it is used identical
