2007-04-25bridge: add sysfs hook to flush forwarding tableStephen Hemminger
The RSTP daemon needs to be able to flush all dynamic forwarding entries in the case of topology change. This is a temporary interface. It will change to a netlink interface before RSTP daemon is officially released. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
2007-04-25bridge: simpler hash with saltStephen Hemminger
Instead of hashing the whole Ethernet address, it should be faster to just use the last 4 bytes. Add a random salt value to the hash to make it more difficult to construct worst case DoS hash chains. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
2007-04-25bridge: don't route packets while learningStephen Hemminger
While in the STP learning state, don't route packets; wait until forwarding delay has expired. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to detect loops in the network, and if a brouter started up and started forwarding, it could cause a flood. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
2007-04-25bridge: eliminate call by referenceStephen Hemminger
Change the bridging hook to be simple function with return value rather than modifying the skb argument. This could generate better code and is cleaner. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
2007-04-25[NET]: Treat CHECKSUM_PARTIAL as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARYHerbert Xu
When a transmitted packet is looped back directly, CHECKSUM_PARTIAL maps to the semantics of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. Therefore we should treat it as such in the stack. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[NET]: Use csum_start offset instead of skb_transport_headerHerbert Xu
The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload. Unfortunately, the same pointer is also used during receive side processing. This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer would be overwritten. This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose of checksums. This offset is calculated from skb->head so that it does not have to change when skb->data changes. No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start. For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

2007-04-25[XFRM]: beet: fix worst case header_len calculationPatrick McHardy
esp_init_state doesn't account for the beet pseudo header in the header_len calculation, which may result in undersized skbs hitting xfrm4_beet_output, causing unnecessary reallocations in ip_finish_output2. The skbs should still always have enough room to avoid causing skb_under_panic in skb_push since we have at least 16 bytes available from LL_RESERVED_SPACE in xfrm_state_check_space.

2007-04-25[XFRM]: Optimize MTU calculationPatrick McHardy
Replace the probing based MTU estimation, which usually takes 2-3 iterations to find a fitting value and may underestimate the MTU, by an exact calculation.

2007-04-25[XFRM]: esp: fix skb_tail_pointer conversion bugPatrick McHardy
Fix incorrect switch of "trailer" skb by "skb" during skb_tail_pointer conversion: - *(u8*)(trailer->tail - 1) = top_iph->protocol; + *(skb_tail_pointer(skb) - 1) = top_iph->protocol; - *(u8 *)(trailer->tail - 1) = *skb_network_header(skb); + *(skb_tail_pointer(skb) - 1) = *skb_network_header(skb); Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-04-25[NET]: Inline net_device_statsRusty Russell
Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if this were done by default. 1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device". 2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one" 3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set. 4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if ->get_stats is set. This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code. Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

2007-04-25[IPV4]: align inet_protos[] on SMPEric Dumazet
As IPPROTO_TCP is 6, it makes sense to make sure inet_protos[] array is properly cache line aligned to avoid false sharing on SMP. c0680540 b peer_total c0680544 b inet_peer_unused_head c0680560 B inet_protos On i386 this example, we can see that inet_protos[IPPROTO_TCP] shares a potentially hot (and modified) cache line.

2007-04-25[NET] fib_rules: Flush route cache after rule modificationsThomas Graf
The results of FIB rules lookups are cached in the routing cache except for IPv6 as no such cache exists. So far, it was the responsibility of the user to flush the cache after modifying any rules. This lead to many false bug reports due to misunderstanding of this concept. This patch automatically flushes the route cache after inserting or deleting a rule.

2007-04-25[NET]: Allow forwarding of ip_summed except CHECKSUM_COMPLETEHerbert Xu
Right now Xen has a horrible hack that lets it forward packets with partial checksums. One of the reasons that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE were added is so that we can get rid of this hack (where it creates two extra bits in the skbuff to essentially mirror ip_summed without being destroyed by the forwarding code). I had forgotten that I've already gone through all the deivce drivers last time around to make sure that they're looking at ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL rather than ip_summed != 0 on transmit. In any case, I've now done that again so it should definitely be safe. Unfortunately nobody has yet added any code to update CHECKSUM_COMPLETE values on forward so we I'm setting that to CHECKSUM_NONE. This should be safe to remove for bridging but I'd like to check that code path first. So here is the patch that lets us get rid of the hack by preserving ip_summed (mostly) on forwarded packets.

2007-04-25[NET] fib_rules: Add no-operation actionThomas Graf

2007-04-25[NET] fib_rules: Mark rules detached from the deviceThomas Graf
Rules which match against device names in their selector can remain while the device itself disappears, in fact the device doesn't have to present when the rule is added in the first place. The device name is resolved by trying when the rule is added and later by listening to NETDEV_REGISTER/UNREGISTER notifications. This patch adds the flag FIB_RULE_DEV_DETACHED which is set towards userspace when a rule contains a device match which is unresolved at the moment. This eases spotting the reason why certain rules seem not to function properly. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[NET] fib_rules: goto rule actionThomas Graf
This patch adds a new rule action FR_ACT_GOTO which allows to skip a set of rules by jumping to another rule. The rule to jump to is specified via the FRA_GOTO attribute which carries a rule preference. Referring to a rule which doesn't exists is explicitely allowed. Such goto rules are marked with the flag FIB_RULE_UNRESOLVED and will act like a rule with a non-matching selector. The rule will become functional as soon as its target is present. The goto action enables performance optimizations by reducing the average number of rules that have to be passed per lookup. Example: 0: from all lookup local 40: not from all to 192.168.23.128 goto 32766 41: from all fwmark 0xa blackhole 42: from all fwmark 0xff blackhole 32766: from all lookup main Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.
