2009-03-16netfilter: remove IPvX specific parts from nf_conntrack_l4proto.hChristoph Paasch

2009-03-16netfilter: use a linked list of loggersEric Leblond
This patch modifies nf_log to use a linked list of loggers for each protocol. This list of loggers is read and write protected with a mutex. This patch separates registration and binding. To be used as logging module, a module has to register calling nf_log_register() and to bind to a protocol it has to call nf_log_bind_pf(). This patch also converts the logging modules to the new API. For nfnetlink_log, it simply switchs call to register functions to call to bind function and adds a call to nf_log_register() during init. For other modules, it just remove a const flag from the logger structure and replace it with a __read_mostly.

2009-03-04IPv6: add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.koBrian Haley
Add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.ko by specifying "disable=1" on module load. We just do the minimum of initializing inetsw6[] so calls from other modules to inet6_register_protosw() won't OOPs, then bail out. No IPv6 addresses or sockets can be created as a result, and a reboot is required to enable IPv6. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-03-03netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panicDaniel Lezcano
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice notifier. In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys. But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless. I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the addrconf cleanup function. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We already have a valid net in that place, but this is not just a cleanup - the tw pointer can be NULL there sometimes, thus causing an oops in NET_NS=y case.

2009-02-24netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

2009-02-20netfilter: iptables: lock free countersStephen Hemminger
The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions: 1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use. This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed after RCU period. 2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values. This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one cpu. On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.

2009-01-29gro: Avoid copying headers of unmerged packetsHerbert Xu
Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best. The fraginfo interface turned out to be suboptimal. The problem was quite obvious. For every packet, we have to copy the headers from the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge. LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers from the frags structure. This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without having to copy it. Because all drivers that use frags place the headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch addresses the IPv6 multicast routing issues described below.
