2006-03-23[IPV6]: ip6_xmit: remove unnecessary NULL ptr checkPatrick McHardy
The sk argument to ip6_xmit is never NULL nowadays since the skb->priority assigment expects a valid socket. Coverity #354 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-11-09[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.

2005-10-28[IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approachAnanda Raju
Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature. 1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik. 2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) 3. udp sendfile support with UFO This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device driver to use the UFO interface. UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface: ------------------------------------------- UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to MTU sized packets 1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6. 2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine. UFO packet will have a non-zero value for "skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size" skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware. skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of each fragmented IP packet. For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating IPv6 fragments.

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.

2005-05-18[IPV4/IPV6] Ensure all frag_list members have NULL skHerbert Xu
Having frag_list members which holds wmem of an sk leads to nightmares with partially cloned frag skb's. The reason is that once you unleash a skb with a frag_list that has individual sk ownerships into the stack you can never undo those ownerships safely as they may have been cloned by things like netfilter. Since we have to undo them in order to make skb_linearize happy this approach leads to a dead-end. So let's go the other way and make this an invariant: For any skb on a frag_list, skb->sk must be NULL. That is, the socket ownership always belongs to the head skb. It turns out that the implementation is actually pretty simple. The above invariant is actually violated in the following patch for a short duration inside ip_fragment. This is OK because the offending frag_list member is either destroyed at the end of the slow path without being sent anywhere, or it is detached from the frag_list before being sent.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
