* [INET]: Small cleanup for xxx_put after evictor consolidationPavel Emelyanov2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the evictor code is consolidated there is no need in passing the extra pointer to the xxx_put() functions. The only place when it made sense was the evictor code itself. Maybe this change must got with the previous (or with the next) patch, but I try to make them shorter as much as possible to simplify the review (but they are still large anyway), so this change goes in a separate patch.

* [INET]: Consolidate the xxx_evictorPavel Emelyanov2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The evictors collect some statistics for ipv4 and ipv6, so make it return the number of evicted queues and account them all at once in the caller. The XXX_ADD_STATS_BH() macros are just for this case, but maybe there are places in code, that can make use of them as well. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [INET]: Consolidate the xxx_frag_destroyPavel Emelyanov2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | To make in possible we need to know the exact frag queue size for inet_frags->mem management and two callbacks: * to destoy the skb (optional, used in conntracks only) * to free the queue itself (mandatory, but later I plan to move the allocation and the destruction of frag_queues into the common place, so this callback will most likely be optional too).

* [INET]: Consolidate xxx_the secret_rebuildPavel Emelyanov2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This code works with the generic data types as well, so move this into inet_fragment.c This move makes it possible to hide the secret_timer management and the secret_rebuild routine completely in the inet_fragment.c Introduce the ->hashfn() callback in inet_frags() to get the hashfun for a given inet_frag_queue() object.

* [INET]: Collect common frag sysctl variables togetherPavel Emelyanov2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some sysctl variables are used to tune the frag queues management and it will be useful to work with them in a common way in the future, so move them into one structure, moreover they are the same for all the frag management codes. I don't place them in the existing inet_frags object, introduced in the previous patch for two reasons: 1. to keep them in the __read_mostly section; 2. not to export the whole inet_frags objects outside.

* [INET]: Collect frag queues management objects togetherPavel Emelyanov2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some objects that are common in all the places which are used to keep track of frag queues, they are: * hash table * LRU list * rw lock * rnd number for hash function * the number of queues * the amount of memory occupied by queues * secret timer Move all this stuff into one structure (struct inet_frags) to make it possible use them uniformly in the future. Like with the previous patch this mostly consists of hunks like - write_lock(&ipfrag_lock); + write_lock(&ip4_frags.lock); To address the issue with exporting the number of queues and the amount of memory occupied by queues outside the .c file they are declared in, I introduce a couple of helpers.

* [IPV4]: Uninline netfilter okfnsPatrick McHardy2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we don't pass double skb pointers to nf_hook_slow anymore, gcc can generate tail calls for some of the netfilter hook okfn invocations, so there is no need to inline the functions anymore. This caused huge code bloat since we ended up with one inlined version and one out-of-line version since we pass the address to nf_hook_slow. Before: text data bss dec hex filename 8997385 1016524 524652 10538561 a0ce41 vmlinux After: text data bss dec hex filename 8994009 1016524 524652 10535185 a0c111 vmlinux ------------------------------------------------------- -3376 All cases have been verified to generate tail-calls with and without netfilter.

* [TCP]: Limit processing lost_retrans loop to work-to-do casesIlpo Järvinen2007-10-11

* [TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problemsIlpo Järvinen2007-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Detection implemented with lost_retrans must work also when fastpath is taken, yet most of the queue is skipped including (very likely) those retransmitted skb's we're interested in. This problem appeared when the hints got added, which removed a need to always walk over the whole write queue head. Therefore decicion for the lost_retrans worker loop entry must be separated from the sacktag processing more than it was necessary before. It turns out to be problematic to optimize the worker loop very heavily because ack_seqs of skb may have a number of discontinuity points. Maybe similar approach as currently is implemented could be attempted but that's becoming more and more complex because the trend is towards less skb walking in sacktag marker. Trying a simple work until all rexmitted skbs heve been processed approach. Maybe after(highest_sack_end_seq, tp->high_seq) checking is not sufficiently accurate and causes entry too often in no-work-to-do cases. Since that's not known, I've separated solution to that from this patch. Noticed because of report against a related problem from TAKANO Ryousei <takano@axe-inc.co.jp>. He also provided a patch to that part of the problem. This patch includes solution to it (though this patch has to use somewhat different placement). TAKANO's description and patch is available here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119149311913288&w=2 ...In short, TAKANO's problem is that end_seq the loop is using not necessarily the largest SACK block's end_seq because the current ACK may still have higher SACK blocks which are later by the loop.

* [TCP]: Add bytes_acked (ABC) clearing to FRTO tooIlpo Järvinen2007-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was reading tcp_enter_loss while looking for Cedric's bug and noticed bytes_acked adjustment is missing from FRTO side. Since bytes_acked will only be used in tcp_cong_avoid, I think it's safe to assume RTO would be spurious. During FRTO cwnd will be not controlled by tcp_cong_avoid and if FRTO calls for conventional recovery, cwnd is adjusted and the result of wrong assumption is cleared from bytes_acked. If RTO was in fact spurious, we did normal ABC already and can continue without any additional adjustments. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchroniousDenis V. Lunev2007-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

* [IPSEC]: Move IP protocol setting from transforms into xfrm4_input.cHerbert Xu2007-10-10

* [IPSEC]: Move IP length/checksum setting out of transformsHerbert Xu2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the setting of the IP length and checksum fields out of the transforms and into the xfrmX_output functions. This would help future efforts in merging the transforms themselves. It also adds an optimisation to ipcomp due to the fact that the transport offset is guaranteed to be zero.

* [IPSEC]: Get rid of ipv6_{auth,esp,comp}_hdrHerbert Xu2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the duplicate ipv6_{auth,esp,comp}_hdr structures since they're identical to the IPv4 versions. Duplicating them would only create problems for ourselves later when we need to add things like extended sequence numbers.

* [IPSEC]: Use IPv6 calling convention as the convention for x->mode->outputHerbert Xu2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The IPv6 calling convention for x->mode->output is more general and could help an eventual protocol-generic x->type->output implementation. This patch adopts it for IPv4 as well and modifies the IPv4 type output functions accordingly. It also rewrites the IPv6 mac/transport header calculation to be based off the network header where practical. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [IPSEC]: Set skb->data to payload in x->mode->outputHerbert Xu2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the calling convention so that on entry from x->mode->output and before entry into x->type->output skb->data will point to the payload instead of the IP header. This is essentially a redistribution of skb_push/skb_pull calls with the aim of minimising them on the common path of tunnel + ESP. It'll also let us use the same calling convention between IPv4 and IPv6 with the next patch. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | I pointed this out back when this patch was first proposed but it looks like it got lost along the way. The checksum only needs to be ignored for NAT-T in transport mode where we lose the original inner addresses due to NAT. With BEET the inner addresses will be intact so the checksum remains valid.

* [IPSEC]: Move state lock into x->type->outputHerbert Xu2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch releases the lock on the state before calling x->type->output. It also adds the lock to the spots where they're currently needed.

* [IPSEC]: Store IPv6 nh pointer in mac_header on outputHerbert Xu2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current the x->mode->output functions store the IPv6 nh pointer in the skb network header. This is inconvenient because the network header then has to be fixed up before the packet can leave the IPsec stack. The mac header field is unused on output so we can use that to store this instead. This patch does that and removes the network header fix-up in xfrm_output. It also uses ipv6_hdr where appropriate in the x->type->output functions. There is also a minor clean-up in esp4 to make it use the same code as esp6 to help any subsequent effort to merge the two. Lastly it kills two redundant skb_set_* statements in BEET that were simply copied over from transport mode. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
