2008-10-07net: packet split receive apiPeter Zijlstra
Add some packet-split receive hooks. For one this allows to do NUMA node affine page allocs. Later on these hooks will be extended to do emergency reserve allocations for fragments. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-10-01net: add skb_recycle_check() to enable netdriver skb recyclingLennert Buytenhek
This patch adds skb_recycle_check(), which can be used by a network driver after transmitting an skb to check whether this skb can be recycled as a receive buffer. skb_recycle_check() checks that the skb is not shared or cloned, and that it is linear and its head portion large enough (as determined by the driver) to be recycled as a receive buffer. If these conditions are met, it does any necessary reference count dropping and cleans up the skbuff as if it just came from __alloc_skb().

2008-09-23net: Add skb_queue_next().David S. Miller
A lot of code wants to iterate over an SKB queue at the top level using it's own control structure and iterator scheme. Provide skb_queue_next(), which is only valid to invoke if skb_queue_is_last() returns false. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-09-23net: Add skb_queue_is_last().David S. Miller

2008-08-15net: skb_copy_datagram_from_iovec()Rusty Russell
There's an skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to copy out of a paged skb, but nothing the other way around (because we don't do that). We want to allocate big skbs in tun.c, so let's add the function. It's a carbon copy of skb_copy_datagram_iovec() with enough changes to be annoying. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-07-29mac80211: partially fix skb->cb useJohannes Berg
This patch fixes mac80211 to not use the skb->cb over the queue step from virtual interfaces to the master. The patch also, for now, disables aggregation because that would still require requeuing, will fix that in a separate patch. There are two other places (software requeue and powersaving stations) where requeue can happen, but that is not currently used by any drivers/not possible to use respectively.

2008-07-14vlan: Don't store VLAN tag in cbPatrick McHardy
Use a real skb member to store the skb to avoid clashes with qdiscs, which are allowed to use the cb area themselves. As currently only real devices that consume the skb set the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX flag, no explicit invalidation is neccessary. The new member fills a hole on 64 bit, the skb layout changes from: __u32 mark; /* 172 4 */ sk_buff_data_t transport_header; /* 176 4 */ sk_buff_data_t network_header; /* 180 4 */ sk_buff_data_t mac_header; /* 184 4 */ sk_buff_data_t tail; /* 188 4 */ /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */ sk_buff_data_t end; /* 192 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ to __u32 mark; /* 172 4 */ __u16 vlan_tci; /* 176 2 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ sk_buff_data_t transport_header; /* 180 4 */ sk_buff_data_t network_header; /* 184 4 */ Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-01-31[NETFILTER]: bridge netfilter: remove nf_bridge_info read-only netoutdev memberPatrick McHardy
Before the removal of the deferred output hooks, netoutdev was used in case of VLANs on top of a bridge to store the VLAN device, so the deferred hooks would see the correct output device. This isn't necessary anymore since we're calling the output hooks for the correct device directly in the IP stack. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-28[UDP]: Only increment counter on first peek/recvHerbert Xu
The previous move of the the UDP inDatagrams counter caused each peek of the same packet to be counted separately. This may be undesirable. This patch fixes this by adding a bit to sk_buff to record whether this packet has already been seen through skb_recv_datagram. We then only increment the counter when the packet is seen for the first time. The only dodgy part is the fact that skb_recv_datagram doesn't have a good way of returning this new bit of information. So I've added a new function __skb_recv_datagram that does return this and made skb_recv_datagram a wrapper around it. The plan is to eventually replace all uses of skb_recv_datagram with this new function at which time it can be renamed its proper name.

2008-01-28[UDP]: Avoid repeated counting of checksum errors due to peekingHerbert Xu
Currently it is possible for two processes to peek on the same socket and end up incrementing the error counter twice for the same packet.

2007-11-26[SKBUFF]: Free old skb properly in skb_morphHerbert Xu
The skb_morph function only freed the data part of the dst skb, but leaked the auxiliary data such as the netfilter fields. This patch fixes this by moving the relevant parts from __kfree_skb to skb_release_all and calling it in skb_morph. It also makes kfree_skbmem static since it's no longer called anywhere else and it now no longer does skb_release_data. Thanks to Yasuyuki KOZAKAI for finding this problem and posting a patch for it.

2007-11-10[NET]: Fix skb_truesize_check() assertionChuck Lever
The intent of the assertion in skb_truesize_check() is to check for skb->truesize being decremented too much by other code, resulting in a wraparound below zero. The type of the right side of the comparison causes the compiler to promote the left side to an unsigned type, despite the presence of an explicit type cast. This defeats the check for negativity. Ensure both sides of the comparison are a signed type to prevent the implicit type conversion. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-23[NET]: Treat the sign of the result of skb_headroom() consistentlyChuck Lever

2007-10-22[NET]: Fix SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD calculationHerbert Xu
The calculation in SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD is incorrect in that it can cause an overflow across a page boundary which is what it's meant to prevent. In particular, the header length (X) should not be lumped together with skb_shared_info. The latter needs to be aligned properly while the header has no choice but to sit in front of wherever the payload is. Therefore the correct calculation is to take away the aligned size of skb_shared_info, and then subtract the header length. The resulting quantity L satisfies the following inequality: SKB_DATA_ALIGN(L + X) + sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) <= PAGE_SIZE This is the quantity used by alloc_skb to do the actual allocation.

This will be used by IP fragment reassembly so that we get back the same skb that went in last (rather than the head skb that we get now which requires us to carry around double pointers all over the place).
