* xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_threshNeil Horman2009-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values (set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical. This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as the routing table can. For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 * gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size. For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size, but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4 code does).

* [NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - add net to gc timer parameterDaniel Lezcano2008-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fib tables are now relative to the network namespace. When the garbage collector timer expires, we must have a network namespace parameter in order to retrieve the tables. For now this is the init_net, but we should be able to have a timer per namespace and use the timer callback parameter to pass the network namespace from the expired timer. The timer callback, fib6_run_gc, is actually used to be called synchronously by some functions and asynchronously when the timer expires. When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter is always zero. So, I changed fib6_run_gc to not be a timer callback but a function called by the timer callback and I added a timer callback where its work is just to retrieve from the data arg of the timer the network namespace and call fib6_run_gc with zero expiring time and the network namespace parameters. That makes the code cleaner for the fib6_run_gc callers. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - make it per network namespaceDaniel Lezcano2008-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The fib table for ipv6 are moved to the network namespace structure. All references to them are made relatively to the network namespace. All external calls to the ip6_fib functions taking the network namespace parameter are made using the init_net variable, so the ip6_fib engine is ready for the namespaces but the callers not yet.

* [XFRM] IPv6: Fix dst/routing check at transformation.Masahide NAKAMURA2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IPv6 specific thing is wrongly removed from transformation at net-2.6.25. This patch recovers it with current design. o Update "path" of xfrm_dst since IPv6 transformation should care about routing changes. It is required by MIPv6 and off-link destined IPsec. o Rename nfheader_len which is for non-fragment transformation used by MIPv6 to rt6i_nfheader_len as IPv6 name space.

* [IPV6]: Move nfheader_len into rt6_infoHerbert Xu2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | The dst member nfheader_len is only used by IPv6. It's also currently creating a rather ugly alignment hole in struct dst.

* [IPV6] XFRM: Fix connected socket to use transformation.Noriaki TAKAMIYA2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When XFRM policy and state are ready after TCP connection is started, the traffic should be transformed immediately, however it does not on IPv6 TCP. It depends on a dst cache replacement policy with connected socket. It seems that the replacement is always done for IPv4, however, on IPv6 case it is done only when routing cookie is changed. This patch fix that non-transformation dst can be changed to transformation one. This behavior is required by MIPv6 and improves IPv6 IPsec. Fixes by Masahide NAKAMURA.

* [IPV6]: Fix routing round-robin locking.David S. Miller2007-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes reachable faster. Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked list of routes at each leaf. The round robin code executes during lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader. A small local spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all for two reasons: 1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with read lock held): walk routes finding head and tail spin_lock(); rotate list using head and tail spin_unlock(); While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed to corrupt the list when it gets the lock. This ends up causing the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting. 2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the lock in that way. So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking semantics. Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer. This way we don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer itself. We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when the entry it is pointing to is removed. The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [IPV6]: V6 route events reported with wrong netlink PID and seq numberJamal Hadi Salim2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Essentially netlink at the moment always reports a pid and sequence of 0 always for v6 route activities. To understand the repurcassions of this look at: http://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2005-June/003507.html While fixing this, i took the liberty to resolve the outstanding issue of IPV6 routes inserted via ioctls to have the correct pids as well. This patch tries to behave as close as possible to the v4 routes i.e maintains whatever PID the socket issuing the command owns as opposed to the process. That made the patch a little bulky. I have tested against both netlink derived utility to add/del routes as well as ioctl derived one. The Quagga folks have tested against quagga. This fixes the problem and so far hasnt been detected to introduce any new issues.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
