* [IPV6]: Repair Incoming Interface Handling for Raw Socket.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki2005-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to changes to enforce checking interface bindings, sockets did not see loopback packets bound for our local address on our interface. e.g.) When we ping6 fe80::1%eth0, skb->dev points loopback_dev while IP6CB(skb)->iif indicates eth0.

* [CRYPTO]: crypto_free_tfm() callers no longer need to check for NULLJesper Juhl2005-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the patch to add a NULL short-circuit to crypto_free_tfm() went in, there's no longer any need for callers of that function to check for NULL. This patch removes the redundant NULL checks and also a few similar checks for NULL before calls to kfree() that I ran into while doing the crypto_free_tfm bits. I've succesfuly compile tested this patch, and a kernel with the patch applied boots and runs just fine. When I posted the patch to LKML (and other lists/people on Cc) it drew the following comments : J. Bruce Fields commented "I've no problem with the auth_gss or nfsv4 bits.--b." Sridhar Samudrala said "sctp change looks fine." Herbert Xu signed off on the patch. So, I guess this is ready to be dropped into -mm and eventually mainline.

* [INET6_HASHTABLES]: Move inet6_lookup functions to net/ipv6/inet6_hashtables.cArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Doing this we allow tcp_diag to support IPV6 even if tcp_diag is compiled statically and IPV6 is compiled as a module, removing the previous restriction while not building any IPV6 code if it is not selected. Now to work on the tcpdiag_register infrastructure and then to rename the whole thing to inetdiag, reflecting its by then completely generic nature.

* [ICSK]: Move TCP congestion avoidance members to icskArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changeset basically moves tcp_sk()->{ca_ops,ca_state,etc} to inet_csk(), minimal renaming/moving done in this changeset to ease review. Most of it is just changes of struct tcp_sock * to struct sock * parameters. With this we move to a state closer to two interesting goals: 1. Generalisation of net/ipv4/tcp_diag.c, becoming inet_diag.c, being used for any INET transport protocol that has struct inet_hashinfo and are derived from struct inet_connection_sock. Keeps the userspace API, that will just not display DCCP sockets, while newer versions of tools can support DCCP. 2. INET generic transport pluggable Congestion Avoidance infrastructure, using the current TCP CA infrastructure with DCCP.

| | | | | | | | | | | That groups all of the tables and variables associated to the TCP timewait schedulling/recycling/killing code, that now can be isolated from the TCP specific code and used by other transport protocols, such as DCCP.

* [NETFILTER]: add /proc/net/netfilter interface to nf_queueHarald Welte2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a /proc/net/netfilter/nf_queue file, similar to the recently-added /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log. It indicates which queue handler is registered to which protocol family. This is useful since there are now multiple queue handlers in the treee (ip[6]_queue, nfnetlink_queue).

* [NETFILTER]: ip{6}_queue: prevent unregistration race with nfnetlink_queueHarald Welte2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | Since nfnetlink_queue can override ip{6}_queue as queue handlers, we can no longer blindly unregister whoever is registered for PF_INET[6], but only unregister ourselves. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [ICSK]: Generalise tcp_listen_{start,stop}Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | This also moved inet_iif from tcp to inet_hashtables.h, as it is needed by the inet_lookup callers, perhaps this needs a bit of polishing, but for now seems fine. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Introduce inet_connection_sockArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This creates struct inet_connection_sock, moving members out of struct tcp_sock that are shareable with other INET connection oriented protocols, such as DCCP, that in my private tree already uses most of these members. The functions that operate on these members were renamed, using a inet_csk_ prefix while not being moved yet to a new file, so as to ease the review of these changes.

* [INET]: Generalise tcp_tw_bucket, aka TIME_WAIT socketsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup routines and saves some bytes in TCPv4 TIME_WAIT sockets on distro kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module): [root@qemu ~]# grep tw_sock /proc/slabinfo tw_sock_TCPv6 0 0 128 31 1 tw_sock_TCP 0 0 96 41 1 [root@qemu ~]# Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo wants to use this stuff. Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to generalise even more TCP code.

* [TCP]: Move the tcp sock states to net/tcp_states.hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this enum was, needs it.

* [INET]: Move tcp_port_rover to inet_hashinfoArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | Also expose all of the tcp_hashinfo members, i.e. killing those tcp_ehash, etc macros, this will more clearly expose already generic functions and some that need just a bit of work to become generic, as we'll see in the upcoming changesets.

* [INET]: Generalise tcp_bind_hash & tcp_inherit_portArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29

* [INET]: Move bind_hash from tcp_sk to inet_skArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This should really be in a inet_connection_sock, but I'm leaving it for a later optimization, when some more fields common to INET transport protocols now in tcp_sk or inet_sk will be chunked out into inet_connection_sock, for now its better to concentrate on getting the changes in the core merged to leave the DCCP tree with only DCCP specific code. Next changesets will take advantage of this move to generalise things like tcp_bind_hash, tcp_put_port, tcp_inherit_port, making the later receive a inet_hashinfo parameter, and even __tcp_tw_hashdance, etc in the future, when tcp_tw_bucket gets transformed into the struct timewait_sock hierarchy. tcp_destroy_sock also is eligible as soon as tcp_orphan_count gets moved to sk_prot. A cascade of incremental changes will ultimately make the tcp_lookup functions be fully generic. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [INET]: Just rename the TCP hashtable functions/structs to inet_Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is to break down the complexity of the series of patches, making it very clear that this one just does: 1. renames tcp_ prefixed hashtable functions and data structures that were already mostly generic to inet_ to share it with DCCP and other INET transport protocols. 2. Removes not used functions (__tb_head & tb_head) 3. Removes some leftover prototypes in the headers (tcp_bucket_unlock & tcp_v4_build_header) Next changesets will move tcp_sk(sk)->bind_hash to inet_sock so that we can make functions such as tcp_inherit_port, __tcp_inherit_port, tcp_v4_get_port, __tcp_put_port, generic and get others like tcp_destroy_sock closer to generic (tcp_orphan_count will go to sk->sk_prot to allow this). Eventually most of these functions will be used passing the transport protocol inet_hashinfo structure. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is in preparation to nfnetlink_log: - loggers now have to register struct nf_logger instead of nf_logfn - nf_log_unregister() replaced by nf_log_unregister_pf() and nf_log_unregister_logger() - add comment to ip[6]t_LOG.h to assure nobody redefines flags - add /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log to tell user which logger is currently registered for which address family - if user has configured logging, but no logging backend (logger) is available, always spit a message to syslog, not just the first time. - split ip[6]t_LOG.c into two parts: Backend: Always try to register as logger for the respective address family Frontend: Always log via nf_log_packet() API - modify all users of nf_log_packet() to accomodate additional argument Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [INET]: Introduce inet_sk_rebuild_headerArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-29

* [NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargementHarald Welte2005-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff. The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic testing on my notebook and it seems to work. The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space. Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code overloads pkt_type :( The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe to remove it. - remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code - don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die. - remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes - move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
