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.

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

Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()

This removes the private element from skbuff, that is only used by
HIPPI. Instead it uses skb->cb[] to hold the additional data that is
needed in the output path from hard_header to device driver.
PS: The only qdisc that might potentially corrupt this cb[] is if
netem was used over HIPPI. I will take care of that by fixing netem
to use skb->stamp. I don't expect many users of netem over HIPPI

Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely
redundant. All SKB list removal callers know which list the
SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than
taking up some space.

up.

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

we could do one thing (see the patch below): i think it would be useful
to fill up the netlogging skb queue straight at initialization time.
Especially if netpoll is used for dumping alone, the system might not be
in a situation to fill up the queue at the point of crash, so better be
a bit more prepared and keep the pipeline filled.

Add limited retry logic to netpoll_send_skb
Each time we attempt to send, decrement our per-device retry counter.
On every successful send, we reset the counter.
We delay 50us between attempts with up to 20000 retries for a total of
1 second. After we've exhausted our retries, subsequent failed
attempts will try only once until reset by success.

The bug is evident when it is seen once. dst gc timer was backed off,
when gc queue is not empty. But this means that timer quickly backs off,
if at least one destination remains in use. Normally, the bug is invisible,
because adding new dst entry to queue cancels the backoff. But it shots
deadly with destination cache overflow when new destinations are not released
for long time f.e. after an interface goes down.
The fix is to cancel backoff when something was released.

data := undef
len := undef
consumed := 0
skb_prepare_seq_read(skb, from, to, &state)
while (len = skb_seq_read(consumed, &data, &state)) != 0 do
/* do something with 'data' of length 'len' */
if abort then
/* abort read if we don't wait for
* skb_seq_read() to return 0 */
skb_abort_seq_read(&state)
return

/* not necessary to consume all of 'len' */

Eliminate the throttling behaviour when the netif receive queue fills

The throttling cause multiple packet drops that cause TCP to go into

This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the
same network device. Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook,
however. In practice, this restriction has not been problematic. It is
worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to
allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks.
The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info
structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in. Aside
from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct
net_device to an individual struct netpoll.
A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx
pointer. The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module
removal, and the lock should be uncontested.
