* net: convert BUG_TRAP to generic WARN_ONIlpo Järvinen2008-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future. I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| * inet fragments: fix race between inet_frag_find and inet_frag_secret_rebuildPavel Emelyanov2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that while we work w/o the inet_frags.lock even read-locked the secret rebuild timer may occur (on another CPU, since BHs are still disabled in the inet_frag_find) and change the rnd seed for ipv4/6 fragments. It was caused by my patch fd9e63544cac30a34c951f0ec958038f0529e244 ([INET]: Omit double hash calculations in xxx_frag_intern) late in the 2.6.24 kernel, so this should probably be queued to -stable.

* | ipv6: In fragmentation code, handle error returned from register_pernet_subsys.Pavel Emelyanov2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The error code is ignored now, but ipv6 is a module and one can be loaded under memory pressure, so the error may occur (in theory). Besides, I'm going to handle error returned from registering a read-only part of the table, so ignoring this one, while handing the other one would look strange. (However, this possibility of error is rather small, so I'm not sure whether this is a candidate for current net tree). Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NETNS][FRAGS]: Make the pernet subsystem for fragments.Pavel Emelyanov2008-01-28

* [NETNS][FRAGS]: Isolate the secret interval from namespaces.Pavel Emelyanov2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since we have one hashtable to lookup the fragment, having different secret_interval-s for hash rebuild doesn't make sense, so move this one to inet_frags.

* [NETNS][FRAGS]: Make the inet_frag_queue lookup work in namespaces.Pavel Emelyanov2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since fragment management code is consolidated, we cannot have the pointer from inet_frag_queue to struct net, since we must know what king of fragment this is. So, I introduce the netns_frags structure. This one is currently empty, but will be eventually filled with per-namespace attributes. Each inet_frag_queue is tagged with this one. The conntrack_reasm is not "netns-izated", so it has one static netns_frags instance to keep working in init namespace. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [IPV6]: Fix ip6_frag ctlDaniel Lezcano2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alexey Dobriyan reported an oops when unsharing the network indefinitely inside a loop. This is because the ip6_frag is not per namespace while the ctls are. That happens at the fragment timer expiration: inet_frag_secret_rebuild function is called and this one restarts the timer using the value stored inside the sysctl field. "mod_timer(&f->secret_timer, now + f->ctl->secret_interval);" When the network is unshared, ip6_frag.ctl is initialized with the new sysctl instances, but ip6_frag has only one instance. A race in this case will appear because f->ctl can be modified during the read access in the timer callback. Until the ip6_frag is not per namespace, I discard the assignation to the ctl field of ip6_frags in ip6_frag_sysctl_init when the network namespace is not the init net.

* [NETNS][IPV6]: Make ip6_frags per namespace.Daniel Lezcano2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The ip6_frags is moved to the network namespace structure. Because there can be multiple instances of the network namespaces, and the ip6_frags is no longer a global static variable, a helper function has been added to facilitate the initialization of the variables.

* [INET]: Consolidate frag queues freeingPavel Emelyanov2007-10-17

* [INET]: Remove no longer needed ->equal callbackPavel Emelyanov2007-10-17

* [INET]: Consolidate xxx_find() in fragment managementPavel Emelyanov2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here we need another callback ->match to check whether the entry found in hash matches the key passed. The key used is the same as the creation argument for inet_frag_create. Yet again, this ->match is the same for netfilter and ipv6. Running a frew steps forward - this callback will later replace the ->equal one.

* [INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_create()Pavel Emelyanov2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | This one uses the xxx_frag_intern() and xxx_frag_alloc() routines, which are already consolidated, so remove them from protocol code (as promised).

* [INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_alloc()Pavel Emelyanov2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just perform the kzalloc() allocation and setup common fields in the inet_frag_queue(). Then return the result to the caller to initialize the rest. The inet_frag_alloc() may return NULL, so check the return value before doing the container_of(). This looks ugly, but the xxx_frag_alloc() will be removed soon.

The ->equal callback is used to compare two frag_queue-s together, but this one is temporary and will be removed later. The netfilter code and the ipv6 one use the same routine to compare frags. The inet_frag_intern() always returns non-NULL pointer, so convert the inet_frag_queue into protocol specific one (with the container_of) without any checks.

The only place when it made sense was the evictor code itself.

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.

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_tEric Dumazet2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain 'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct sock. This has some drawbacks : - Fixed resolution of micro second. - Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16 I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution. As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...) Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS) Note : this patch includes a bug correction in compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> CC: John find <linux.kernel@free.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.
