2011-02-02sched: CHOKe flow schedulerstephen hemminger1-0/+29
CHOKe ("CHOose and Kill" or "CHOose and Keep") is an alternative packet scheduler based on the Random Exponential Drop (RED) algorithm. The core idea is: For every packet arrival: Calculate Qave if (Qave < minth) Queue the new packet else Select randomly a packet from the queue if (both packets from same flow) then Drop both the packets else if (Qave > maxth) Drop packet else Admit packet with proability p (same as RED) See also: Rong Pan, Balaji Prabhakar, Konstantinos Psounis, "CHOKe: a stateless active queue management scheme for approximating fair bandwidth allocation", Proceeding of INFOCOM'2000, March 2000.

2011-02-01netfilter: ecache: always set events bits, filter them laterPablo Neira Ayuso1-3/+0
For the following rule: iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -j CT --ctevents assured The event delivered looks like the following: [UPDATE] tcp 6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=37041 dport=80 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=80 dport=37041 [ASSURED] Note that the TCP protocol state is not included. For that reason the CT event filtering is not very useful for conntrackd. To resolve this issue, instead of conditionally setting the CT events bits based on the ctmask, we always set them and perform the filtering in the late stage, just before the delivery. Thus, the event delivered looks like the following: [UPDATE] tcp 6 432000 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=37041 dport=80 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=80 dport=37041 [ASSURED] Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2011-02-01netfilter: xtables: "set" match and "SET" target supportJozsef Kadlecsik1-0/+55

2011-02-01netfilter: ipset: list:set set type supportJozsef Kadlecsik1-0/+27
The module implements the list:set type support in two flavours: without and with timeout. The sets has two sides: for the userspace, they store the names of other (non list:set type of) sets: one can add, delete and test set names. For the kernel, it forms an ordered union of the member sets: the members sets are tried in order when elements are added, deleted and tested and the process stops at the first success.

2011-02-01netfilter: ipset: hash:ip set type supportJozsef Kadlecsik2-0/+1100
The module implements the hash:ip type support in four flavours: for IPv4 or IPv6, both without and with timeout support. All the hash types are based on the "array hash" or ahash structure and functions as a good compromise between minimal memory footprint and speed. The hashing uses arrays to resolve clashes. The hash table is resized (doubled) when searching becomes too long. Resizing can be triggered by userspace add commands only and those are serialized by the nfnl mutex. During resizing the set is read-locked, so the only possible concurrent operations are the kernel side readers. Those are protected by RCU locking. Because of the four flavours and the other hash types, the functions are implemented in general forms in the ip_set_ahash.h header file and the real functions are generated before compiling by macro expansion. Thus the dereferencing of low-level functions and void pointer arguments could be avoided: the low-level functions are inlined, the function arguments are pointers of type-specific structures.

2011-02-01netfilter: ipset: bitmap:ip set type supportJozsef Kadlecsik2-0/+158
The module implements the bitmap:ip set type in two flavours, without and with timeout support. In this kind of set one can store IPv4 addresses (or network addresses) from a given range. In order not to waste memory, the timeout version does not rely on the kernel timer for every element to be timed out but on garbage collection. All set types use this mechanism.

2011-02-01netfilter: ipset: IP set core supportJozsef Kadlecsik3-0/+498
The patch adds the IP set core support to the kernel. The IP set core implements a netlink (nfnetlink) based protocol by which one can create, destroy, flush, rename, swap, list, save, restore sets, and add, delete, test elements from userspace. For simplicity (and backward compatibilty and for not to force ip(6)tables to be linked with a netlink library) reasons a small getsockopt-based protocol is also kept in order to communicate with the ip(6)tables match and target. The netlink protocol passes all u16, etc values in network order with NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flag. The protocol enforces the proper use of the NLA_F_NESTED and NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flags. For other kernel subsystems (netfilter match and target) the API contains the functions to add, delete and test elements in sets and the required calls to get/put refereces to the sets before those operations can be performed. The set types (which are implemented in independent modules) are stored in a simple RCU protected list. A set type may have variants: for example without timeout or with timeout support, for IPv4 or for IPv6. The sets (i.e. the pointers to the sets) are stored in an array. The sets are identified by their index in the array, which makes possible easy and fast swapping of sets. The array is protected indirectly by the nfnl mutex from nfnetlink. The content of the sets are protected by the rwlock of the set. There are functional differences between the add/del/test functions for the kernel and userspace: - kernel add/del/test: works on the current packet (i.e. one element) - kernel test: may trigger an "add" operation in order to fill out unspecified parts of the element from the packet (like MAC address) - userspace add/del: works on the netlink message and thus possibly on multiple elements from the IPSET_ATTR_ADT container attribute. - userspace add: may trigger resizing of a set Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2011-01-31ipv4: Consolidate all default route selection implementations.David S. Miller1-5/+1
Both fib_trie and fib_hash have a local implementation of fib_table_select_default(). This is completely unnecessary code duplication. Since we now remember the fib_table and the head of the fib alias list of the default route, we can implement one single generic version of this routine. Looking at the fib_hash implementation you may get the impression that it's possible for there to be multiple top-level routes in the table for the default route. The truth is, it isn't, the insert code will only allow one entry to exist in the zero prefix hash table, because all keys evaluate to zero and all keys in a hash table must be unique.

2011-01-30net: Add compat ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNTEric W. Biederman2-0/+3
SIOCGETSGCNT is not a unique ioctl value as it it maps tio SIOCPROTOPRIVATE +1, which unfortunately means the existing infrastructure for compat networking ioctls is insufficient. A trivial compact ioctl implementation would conflict with: SIOCAX25ADDUID SIOCAIPXPRISLT SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6 SIOCGETSGCNT SIOCRSSCAUSE SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP SIOCX25SDTEFACILITIES To make this work I have updated the compat_ioctl decode path to mirror the the normal ioctl decode path. I have added an ipv4 inet_compat_ioctl function so that I can have ipv4 specific compat ioctls. I have added a compat_ioctl function into struct proto so I can break out ioctls by which kind of ip socket I am using. I have added a compat_raw_ioctl function because SIOCGETSGCNT only works on raw sockets. I have added a ipmr_compat_ioctl that mirrors the normal ipmr_ioctl. This was necessary because unfortunately the struct layout for the SIOCGETSGCNT has unsigned longs in it so changes between 32bit and 64bit kernels. This change was sufficient to run a 32bit ip multicast routing daemon on a 64bit kernel. Reported-by: Bill Fenner <fenner@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2011-01-26net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.David S. Miller3-37/+80
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write. Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location. If a routing table entry exists, it will point there. Else it will point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'. The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store more states. For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc. However future enhancements will change this to place the writable metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing. Very likely this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache. Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail if we cannot COW the metrics successfully. But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and increase cache locality especially for routing workloads. In those cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written to. TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit. But that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics move to a more sharable location. Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout was necessary. Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state, as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks. The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into the writeable cacheline. This is OK since we are always accessing the flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the reference count. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-01-24BUILD_BUG_ON: make it handle more casesRusty Russell1-6/+27
BUILD_BUG_ON used to use the optimizer to do code elimination or fail at link time; it was changed to first the size of a negative array (a nicer compile time error), then (in 8c87df457cb58fe75b9b893007917cf8095660a0) to a bitfield. This forced us to change some non-constant cases to MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON(); as Jan points out in that commit, it didn't work as intended anyway. bitfields: needs a literal constant at parse time, and can't be put under "if (__builtin_constant_p(x))" for example. negative array: can handle anything, but if the compiler can't tell it's a constant, silently has no effect. link time: breaks link if the compiler can't determine the value, but the linker output is not usually as informative as a compiler error. If we use the negative-array-size method *and* the link time trick, we get the ability to use BUILD_BUG_ON() under __builtin_constant_p() branches, and maximal ability for the compiler to detect errors at build time.
