* [TCP]: Limit processing lost_retrans loop to work-to-do casesIlpo Järvinen2007-10-11
| | | | | | | | | This addition of lost_retrans_low to tcp_sock might be unnecessary, it's not clear how often lost_retrans worker is executed when there wasn't work to do. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [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.

* [IPv6]: Update setsockopt(IPV6_MULTICAST_IF) to support RFC 3493, try2Brian Haley2007-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From RFC 3493, Section 5.2: IPV6_MULTICAST_IF Set the interface to use for outgoing multicast packets. The argument is the index of the interface to use. If the interface index is specified as zero, the system selects the interface (for example, by looking up the address in a routing table and using the resulting interface). This patch adds support for (index == 0) to reset the value to it's original state, allowing the system to choose the best interface. IPv4 already behaves this way.

* [IPv6]: Export userland ND options through netlink (RDNSS support)Pierre Ynard2007-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed before, this patch provides userland with a way to access relevant options in Router Advertisements, after they are processed and validated by the kernel. Extra options are processed in a generic way; this patch only exports RDNSS options described in RFC5006, but support to control which options are exported could be easily added. A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor Discovery options, along with optional context information. At the moment only the address of the router sending an RDNSS option is included, but additional attributes may be later defined, if needed by new use cases.

* [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.

* [NET]: rtnl_unlock cleanupsDenis V. Lunev2007-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no need to process outstanding netlink user->kernel packets during rtnl_unlock now. There is no rtnl_trylock in the rtnetlink_rcv anymore. Normal code path is the following: netlink_sendmsg netlink_unicast netlink_sendskb skb_queue_tail netlink_data_ready rtnetlink_rcv mutex_lock(&rtnl_mutex); netlink_run_queue(sk, qlen, &rtnetlink_rcv_msg); mutex_unlock(&rtnl_mutex); So, it is possible, that packets can be present in the rtnl->sk_receive_queue during rtnl_unlock, but there is no need to process them at that moment as rtnetlink_rcv for that packet is pending.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The IPv6 calling convention for x->mode->output is more general and could help an eventual protocol-generic x->type->output implementation.

This is because the eth7 hard_start_xmit is still ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit." The problem is caused by ieee80211_if_set_type checking for a non-zero hard_start_xmit pointer value in order to avoid changing that value for master devices.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here's a good example of code duplication leading to code rot. The notification patch did its own netlink message creation for xfrm states. It duplicated code that was already in dump_one_state. Guess what, the next time (and the time after) when someone updated dump_one_state the notification path got zilch. This patch moves that code from dump_one_state to copy_to_user_state_extra and uses it in xfrm_notify_sa too. Unfortunately whoever updates this still needs to update xfrm_sa_len since the notification path wants to know the exact size for allocation. At least I've added a comment saying so and if someone still forgest, we'll have a WARN_ON telling us so. I also changed the security size calculation to use xfrm_user_sec_ctx since that's what we actually put into the skb. However it makes no practical difference since it has the same size as xfrm_sec_ctx. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [IPSEC]: Move common code into xfrm_alloc_spiHerbert Xu2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves some common code that conceptually belongs to the xfrm core from af_key/xfrm_user into xfrm_alloc_spi. In particular, the spin lock on the state is now taken inside xfrm_alloc_spi. Previously it also protected the construction of the response PF_KEY/XFRM messages to user-space. This is inconsistent as other identical constructions are not protected by the state lock. This is bad because they in fact should be protected but only in certain spots (so as not to hold the lock for too long which may cause packet drops). The SPI byte order conversion has also been moved. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The newly created net namespace is set to 0 with memset() in setup_net(). The setup_net() is also called for the init_net_ns(), which is zeroed naturally as a global var. So remove this memset and allocate new nets with the kmem_cache_zalloc(). Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [IPv6]: use container_of() macro in fib6_clean_node()Benjamin Thery2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In ip6_fib.c, fib6_clean_node() casts a fib6_walker_t pointer to a fib6_cleaner_t pointer assuming a struct fib6_walker_t (field 'w') is the first field in struct fib6_walker_t. To prevent any future problems that may occur if one day a field is inadvertently inserted before the 'w' field in struct fib6_cleaner_t, (and to improve readability), this patch uses the container_of() macro.

* [NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=nPavel Emelyanov2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS is not set to save more space in memory. The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section, as noticed by David, since the init section will have references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already done with the __init_refok.

* [8021Q]: transfer dev_id from real deviceUrsula Braun2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | A net_device struct provides field dev_id. It is used for unique ipv6 generation in case of shared network cards (as for the OSA network cards of IBM System z). If VLAN devices are built on top of such shared network cards, this dev_id information needs to be transferred to the VLAN device.
