2008-01-28[IPSEC]: Merge most of the output pathHerbert Xu
As part of the work on asynchrnous cryptographic operations, we need to be able to resume from the spot where they occur. As such, it helps if we isolate them to one spot. This patch moves most of the remaining family-specific processing into the common output code. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-01-28[NET]: Eliminate duplicate copies of dst_discardHerbert Xu
We have a number of copies of dst_discard scattered around the place which all do the same thing, namely free a packet on the input or output paths. This patch deletes all of them except dst_discard and points all the users to it. The only non-trivial bit is decnet where it returns an error. However, conceptually this is identical to the blackhole functions used in IPv4 and IPv6 which do not return errors. So they should either all return errors or all return zero. For now I've stuck with the majority and picked zero as the return value. It doesn't really matter in practice since few if any driver would react differently depending on a zero return value or NET_RX_DROP.

2008-01-10[IPV4] ROUTE: fix rcu_dereference() uses in /proc/net/rt_cacheEric Dumazet
In rt_cache_get_next(), no need to guard seq->private by a rcu_dereference() since seq is private to the thread running this function. Reading seq.private once (as guaranted bu rcu_dereference()) or several time if compiler really is dumb enough wont change the result. But we miss real spots where rcu_dereference() are needed, both in rt_cache_get_first() and rt_cache_get_next() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-11-14[NET]: rt_check_expire() can take a long time, add a cond_resched()Eric Dumazet
On commit 39c90ece7565f5c47110c2fa77409d7a9478bd5b: [IPV4]: Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue. we converted rt_check_expire() from softirq to workqueue, allowing the function to perform all work it was supposed to do. When the IP route cache is big, rt_check_expire() can take a long time to run. (default settings : 20% of the hash table is scanned at each invocation) Adding cond_resched() helps giving cpu to higher priority tasks if necessary. Using a "if (need_resched())" test before calling "cond_resched();" is necessary to avoid spending too much time doing the resched check. (My tests gave a time reduction from 88 ms to 25 ms per rt_check_expire() run on my i686 test machine) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[IPV4]: Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue.Eric Dumazet
On loaded/big hosts, rt_check_expire() if of litle use, because it generally breaks out of its main loop because of a jiffies change. It can take a long time (read : timer invocations) to actually scan the whole hash table, freeing unused entries. Converting it to use a workqueue instead of softirq is a nice move because we can allow rt_check_expire() to do the scan it is supposed to do, without hogging the CPU. This has an impact on the average number of entries in cache, reducing ram usage. Cache is more responsive to parameter changes (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_timeout and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_interval) Note: Maybe the default value of gc_interval (60 seconds) is too high, since this means we actually need 5 (300/60) invocations to scan the whole table.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

2007-05-24[XFRM]: Allow packet drops during larval state resolution.David S. Miller
The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the -EAGAIN buisness we had before. Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules. We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in libc. With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default. This lays the framework to either: 1) Make this default at some point or... 2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of. The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved in a certain amount of time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.

2006-12-06[XFRM]: Use output device disable_xfrm for forwarded packetsPatrick McHardy
Currently the behaviour of disable_xfrm is inconsistent between locally generated and forwarded packets. For locally generated packets disable_xfrm disables the policy lookup if it is set on the output device, for forwarded traffic however it looks at the input device. This makes it impossible to disable xfrm on all devices but a dummy device and use normal routing to direct traffic to that device. Always use the output device when checking disable_xfrm.

2006-12-02[RTNETLINK]: Add rtnl_put_cacheinfo() to unify some codeThomas Graf
IPv4, IPv6, and DECNet all use struct rta_cacheinfo in a similiar way, therefore rtnl_put_cacheinfo() is added to reuse code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-12-02[NET]: Rethink mark field in struct flowiThomas Graf
Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing its usage. The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems to enable respectively disable mark based routing only obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant, and most distributions have all these options enabled by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove the config options and enable mark based routing by default. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-02[NET]: Turn nfmark into generic markThomas Graf
nfmark is being used in various subsystems and has become the defacto mark field for all kinds of packets. Therefore it makes sense to rename it to `mark' and remove the dependency on CONFIG_NETFILTER. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
