2009-10-20net: Fix for dst_negative_adviceKrishna Kumar
dst_negative_advice() should check for changed dst and reset sk_tx_queue_mapping accordingly. Pass sock to the callers of dst_negative_advice. (sk_reset_txq is defined just for use by dst_negative_advice. The only way I could find to get around this is to move dst_negative_() from dst.h to dst.c, include sock.h in dst.c, etc) Signed-off-by: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-20net: Introduce sk_tx_queue_mappingKrishna Kumar
Introduce sk_tx_queue_mapping; and functions that set, test and get this value. Reset sk_tx_queue_mapping to -1 whenever the dst cache is set/reset, and in socket alloc. Setting txq to -1 and using valid txq=<0 to n-1> allows the tx path to use the value of sk_tx_queue_mapping directly instead of subtracting 1 on every tx.

2009-10-20filter: Add SKF_AD_QUEUE instructionEric Dumazet
It can help being able to filter packets on their queue_mapping. If filter performance is not good, we could add a "numqueue" field in struct packet_type, so that netif_nit_deliver() and other functions can directly ignore packets with not expected queue number.

2009-10-20can: provide library functions for skb allocationWolfgang Grandegger
This patch makes the private functions alloc_can_skb() and alloc_can_err_skb() of the at91_can driver public and adapts all drivers to use these. While making the patch I realized, that the skb's are *not* setup consistently. It's now done as shown below: skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_CAN); skb->pkt_type = PACKET_BROADCAST; skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY; *cf = (struct can_frame *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(struct can_frame)); memset(*cf, 0, sizeof(struct can_frame)); The frame is zeroed out to avoid uninitialized data to be passed to user space. Some drivers or library code did not set "pkt_type" or "ip_summed". Also, "__constant_htons()" should not be used for runtime invocations, as pointed out by David Miller.

2009-10-18inet: rename some inet_sock fieldsEric Dumazet
In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch. Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt to a separate cache line (only written by rx path) This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr, sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-13can: make the number of echo skb's configurableWolfgang Grandegger
This patch allows the CAN controller driver to define the number of echo skb's used for the local loopback (echo), as suggested by Kurt Van Dijck, with the function: struct net_device *alloc_candev(int sizeof_priv, unsigned int echo_skb_max); The CAN drivers have been adapted accordingly.

2009-10-12net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscallArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and net stack entry/exit operations. Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation. This takes into account comments made by: . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram, sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest. . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that works in the same fashion as the ppoll one. If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB one) it has received so far. . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it in the next call. This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg, where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at every underlying recvmsg call.

2009-10-12net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsgNeil Horman
Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested successfully by me. Notes: 1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops. Deltas must be computed in user space. 2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero, and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism. 3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit 977750076d98c7ff6cbda51858bb5a5894a9d9ab (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-12mac80211: document ieee80211_rx() context requirementJohannes Berg
ieee80211_rx() must be called with softirqs disabled since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx() and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same time. It may be possible to remove this requirement after a careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet processing to process context in mac80211, instead of to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.

2009-10-08ipv6: Fix the size overflow of addrconf_sysctl arrayJin Dongming
(This patch fixes bug of commit f7734fdf61ec6bb848e0bafc1fb8bad2c124bb50 title "make TLLAO option for NA packets configurable") When the IPV6 conf is used, the function sysctl_set_parent is called and the array addrconf_sysctl is used as a parameter of the function. The above patch added new conf "force_tllao" into the array addrconf_sysctl, but the size of the array was not modified, the static allocated size is DEVCONF_MAX + 1 but the real size is DEVCONF_MAX + 2, so the problem is that the function sysctl_set_parent accessed wrong address.

UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for several setups. 4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long chains hurt latency. Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and rhash_entries. dmesg logs two new lines : [ 0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) [ 0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non debugging spinlocks.

2009-10-07ethtool: Add reset operationBen Hutchings
After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately. This should not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive. A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics. This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the components to be reset. Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of those requested, and must indicate the actual subset. This allows the use of generic component masks and some future expansion.

IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6 prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix. With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.

When routing daemon wants to enable forwarding of multicast traffic it performs something like: struct vifctl vc = { .vifc_vifi = 1, .vifc_flags = 0, .vifc_threshold = 1, .vifc_rate_limit = 0, .vifc_lcl_addr = ip, /* <--- ip address of physical interface, e.g. eth0 */ .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY), }; setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc)); This leads (in the kernel) to calling vif_add() function call which search the (physical) device using assigned IP address: dev = ip_dev_find(net, vifc->vifc_lcl_addr.s_addr); The current API (struct vifctl) does not allow to specify an interface other way than using it's IP, and if there are more than a single interface with specified IP only the first one will be found. The attached patch (against 2.6.30.4) allows to specify an interface by its index, instead of IP address: struct vifctl vc = { .vifc_vifi = 1, .vifc_flags = VIFF_USE_IFINDEX, /* NEW */ .vifc_threshold = 1, .vifc_rate_limit = 0, .vifc_lcl_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0"), /* NEW */ .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY), }; setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc)); Signed-off-by: Ilia K. <mail4ilia@gmail.com> === modified file 'include/linux/mroute.h' Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-06net: speedup sk_wake_async()Eric Dumazet
An incoming datagram must bring into cpu cache *lot* of cache lines, in particular : (other parts omitted (hash chains, ip route cache...)) On 32bit arches : offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf) =0x30 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) =0x34 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_sleep) =0x50 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc) =0x64 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0x74 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x98 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_callback_lock)=0xcc (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0xd8 (read if we add dropcount support, rw if frame dropped) offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter) =0xf8 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_socket) =0x138 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_data_ready) =0x15c (read) We can avoid sk->sk_socket and socket->fasync_list referencing on sockets with no fasync() structures. (socket->fasync_list ptr is probably already in cache because it shares a cache line with socket->wait, ie location pointed by sk->sk_sleep) This avoids one cache line load per incoming packet for common cases (no fasync()) We can leave (or even move in a future patch) sk->sk_socket in a cold location Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-05net: introduce NETDEV_POST_INIT notifierJohannes Berg
For various purposes including a wireless extensions bugfix, we need to hook into the netdev creation before before netdev_register_kobject(). This will also ease doing the dev type assignment that Marcel was working on for cfg80211 drivers w/o touching them all.

Add support for usbnet based devices like CDC-Ether to indicate that they are actually mobile broadband devices. In that case use wwan%d as default interface name. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-10-05net: Support inclusion of <linux/socket.h> before <sys/socket.h>Ben Hutchings
The following user-space program fails to compile: #include <linux/socket.h> #include <sys/socket.h> int main() { return 0; } The reason is that <linux/socket.h> tests __GLIBC__ to decide whether it should define various structures and macros that are now defined for user-space by <sys/socket.h>, but __GLIBC__ is not defined if no libc headers have yet been included. It seems safe to drop support for libc 5 now. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
