2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: split net/core/netfilter.c into net/netfilter/*.cHarald Welte
This patch doesn't introduce any code changes, but merely splits the core netfilter code into four separate files. It also moves it from it's old location in net/core/ to the recently-created net/netfilter/ directory. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[ICSK]: Introduce reqsk_queue_prune from code in tcp_synack_timerArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
With this we're very close to getting all of the current TCP refactorings in my dccp-2.6 tree merged, next changeset will export some functions needed by the current DCCP code and then dccp-2.6.git will be born!

2005-08-29[SOCK]: Introduce sk_cloneArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Out of tcp_create_openreq_child, will be used in dccp_create_openreq_child, and is a nice sock function anyway. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[INET]: Generalise tcp_tw_bucket, aka TIME_WAIT socketsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.

2005-08-29[TCP]: Move the tcp sock states to net/tcp_states.hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this enum was, needs it. This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Extend netfilter logging APIHarald Welte
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.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Core changes required by upcoming nfnetlink_queue codeHarald Welte
- split netfiler verdict in 16bit verdict and 16bit queue number - add 'queuenum' argument to nf_queue_outfn_t and its users ip[6]_queue - move NFNL_SUBSYS_ definitions from enum to #define - introduce autoloading for nfnetlink subsystem modules - add MODULE_ALIAS_NFNL_SUBSYS macro - add nf_unregister_queue_handlers() to register all handlers for a given nf_queue_outfn_t - add more verbose DEBUGP macro definition to nfnetlink.c - make nfnetlink_subsys_register fail if subsys already exists - add some more comments and debug statements to nfnetlink.c Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Move reroute-after-queue code up to the nf_queue layer.Harald Welte
The rerouting functionality is required by the core, therefore it has to be implemented by the core and not in individual queue handlers. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[NETLINK]: Add properly module refcounting for kernel netlink sockets.Harald Welte

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Rename skb_ip_make_writable() to skb_make_writable()Harald Welte
There is nothing IPv4-specific in it. In fact, it was already used by IPv6, too... Upcoming nfnetlink_queue code will use it for any kind of packet. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[NET]: Remove explicit initializations of skb->input_devDavid S. Miller

2005-08-29[NET]: Kill skb->real_devDavid S. Miller
Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond() decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original device into packet_type->func() as an argument. It remains to be seen whether we can use this same exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-08-29[NET]: Remove HIPPI private from skbuff.hStephen Hemminger
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 Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-08-29[NET]: Kill skb->listDavid S. Miller
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. Two tricky bits were SCTP, which I took care of, and two ATM drivers which Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> fixed up. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargementHarald Welte
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. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-08-11[NETPOLL]: pre-fill skb poolIngo Molnar
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.

2005-08-11[NETPOLL]: add retry timeoutMatt Mackall
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.

2005-08-11[NETPOLL]: deadlock bugfixJeff Moyer
This fixes an obvious deadlock in the netpoll code. netpoll_rx takes the npinfo->rx_lock. netpoll_rx is also the only caller of arp_reply (through __netpoll_rx). As such, it is not necessary to take this lock. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-11[NETPOLL]: rx_flags bugfixJeff Moyer

The way it stands now, this will have random garbage, and so will incur a locking penalty even when an rx_hook isn't registered and we are not active in the netpoll polling code.

2005-07-30[NET] Fix too aggressive backoff in dst garbage collectionDenis Lunev
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.

2005-07-27[PATCH] clean up inline static vs static inlineJesper Juhl
`gcc -W' likes to complain if the static keyword is not at the beginning of the declaration. This patch fixes all remaining occurrences of "inline static" up with "static inline" in the entire kernel tree (140 occurrences in 47 files). While making this change I came across a few lines with trailing whitespace that I also fixed up, I have also added or removed a blank line or two here and there, but there are no functional changes in the patch.
