2005-11-11[SCTP]: Fix ia64 NaT consumption fault with sctp_sideffect commands.Vladislav Yasevich1-3/+4
On ia64, it is possible to get NaT Consumption Fault and a kernel panic when initializing sctp sideeffect commands arguments. The union sctp_arg_t contains different sized elements and when loading a smaller sized element (32 or 16 bits), it is possible for a speculative load to fail and result in a NaT bit set which causes a kernel crash. The easy way to get around it is to load the largerst member of the union.

2005-11-10[TCP]: Appropriate Byte Count supportStephen Hemminger1-0/+19
This is an updated version of the RFC3465 ABC patch originally for Linux 2.6.11-rc4 by Yee-Ting Li. ABC is a way of counting bytes ack'd rather than packets when updating congestion control. The orignal ABC described in the RFC applied to a Reno style algorithm. For advanced congestion control there is little change after leaving slow start.

2005-11-10[TCP]: fix congestion window update when using TSO deferalStephen Hemminger1-0/+21
TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful. On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and 50Mbits/sec without TSO. The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window unless we have filled, as per RFC2861. This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full with something smarter that accounts for TSO.

2005-11-10[NET]: Detect hardware rx checksum faults correctlyHerbert Xu1-1/+2
Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults. If that happens, it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack trace with the device name. In future it can turn off RX checksum. I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the exceptions of: * Those places where checksums are done bit by bit. These will call netdev_rx_csum_fault directly. * The following have not been completely checked/converted: ipmr ip_vs netfilter dccp This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger and David S. Miller. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Generic netlink familyThomas Graf1-0/+154
The generic netlink family builds on top of netlink and provides simplifies access for the less demanding netlink users. It solves the problem of protocol numbers running out by introducing a so called controller taking care of id management and name resolving. Generic netlink modules register themself after filling out their id card (struct genl_family), after successful registration the modules are able to register callbacks to command numbers by filling out a struct genl_ops and calling genl_register_op(). The registered callbacks are invoked with attributes parsed making life of simple modules a lot easier. Although generic netlink modules can request static identifiers, it is recommended to use GENL_ID_GENERATE and to let the controller assign a unique identifier to the module. Userspace applications will then ask the controller and lookup the idenfier by the module name. Due to the current multicast implementation of netlink, the number of generic netlink modules is restricted to 1024 to avoid wasting memory for the per socket multiacst subscription bitmask.

2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Generic netlink receive queue processorThomas Graf1-0/+6
Introduces netlink_run_queue() to handle the receive queue of a netlink socket in a generic way. Processes as much as there was in the queue upon entry and invokes a callback function for each netlink message found. The callback function may refuse a message by returning a negative error code but setting the error pointer to 0 in which case netlink_run_queue() will return with a qlen != 0.

2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interfaceThomas Graf1-0/+877
Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety, this interface features attribute validation capabilities, simplified message contstruction, and documentation. The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone and easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-09[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai10-0/+1058
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.
