2007-04-26[AF_RXRPC]: Provide secure RxRPC sockets for use by userspace and kernel bothDavid Howells1-2/+4
Provide AF_RXRPC sockets that can be used to talk to AFS servers, or serve answers to AFS clients. KerberosIV security is fully supported. The patches and some example test programs can be found in: http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/ This will eventually replace the old implementation of kernel-only RxRPC currently resident in net/rxrpc/.

2007-04-26[NET]: Clean up sk_buff walkers.Jean Delvare3-128/+69
I noticed recently that, in skb_checksum(), "offset" and "start" are essentially the same thing and have the same value throughout the function, despite being computed differently. Using a single variable allows some cleanups and makes the skb_checksum() function smaller, more readable, and presumably marginally faster. We appear to have many other "sk_buff walker" functions built on the exact same model, so the cleanup applies to them, too. Here is a list of the functions I found to be affected: net/appletalk/ddp.c:atalk_sum_skb() net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_datagram_iovec() net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_and_csum_datagram() net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_bits() net/core/skbuff.c:skb_store_bits() net/core/skbuff.c:skb_checksum() net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_and_csum_bit() net/core/user_dma.c:dma_skb_copy_datagram_iovec() net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_icv_walk() net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_to_sgvec() OTOH, I admit I'm a bit surprised, the cleanup is rather obvious so I'm really wondering if I am missing something. Can anyone please comment on this? Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[NET]: Warn about GSO/checksum abuseHerbert Xu1-1/+1
Now that Patrick has added the code to deal with GSO in netfilter, we no longer need the crutch that computes partial checksums just before transmission. This patch turns this into a warning again.

2007-04-25[NET_SCHED]: ingress: switch back to using ingress_lockPatrick McHardy1-2/+2
Switch ingress queueing back to use ingress_lock. qdisc_lock_tree now locks both the ingress and egress qdiscs on the device. All changes to data that might be used on both ingress and egress needs to be protected by using qdisc_lock_tree instead of manually taking dev->queue_lock. Additionally the qdisc stats_lock needs to be initialized to ingress_lock for ingress qdiscs. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacksPatrick McHardy2-5/+1

2007-04-25[NET]: Treat CHECKSUM_PARTIAL as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARYHerbert Xu1-1/+1
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 Xu2-11/+16
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[NET]: Inline net_device_statsRusty Russell1-3/+10
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[NET] fib_rules: Flush route cache after rule modificationsThomas Graf1-0/+8
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] fib_rules: Add no-operation actionThomas Graf1-1/+3

2007-04-25[NET] fib_rules: Mark rules detached from the deviceThomas Graf1-1/+5
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 Graf1-3/+85
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.

2007-04-25[NETLINK]: Remove error pointer from netlink message handlerThomas Graf1-31/+15
The error pointer argument in netlink message handlers is used to signal the special case where processing has to be interrupted because a dump was started but no error happened. Instead it is simpler and more clear to return -EINTR and have netlink_run_queue() deal with getting the queue right. nfnetlink passed on this error pointer to its subsystem handlers but only uses it to signal the start of a netlink dump. Therefore it can be removed there as well. This patch also cleans up the error handling in the affected message handlers to be consistent since it had to be touched anyway.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Use offsets for skb->{mac,network,transport}_header on 64bit architecturesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-4/+14
With this we save 8 bytes per network packet, leaving a 4 bytes hole to be used in further shrinking work, likely with the offsetization of other pointers, such as ->{data,tail,end}, at the cost of adds, that were minimized by the usual practice of setting skb->{mac,nh,n}.raw to a local variable that is then accessed multiple times in each function, it also is not more expensive than before with regards to most of the handling of such headers, like setting one of these headers to another (transport to network, etc), or subtracting, adding to/from it, comparing them, etc. Now we have this layout for sk_buff on a x86_64 machine: [acme@mica net-2.6.22]$ pahole vmlinux sk_buff struct sk_buff { struct sk_buff * next; /* 0 8 */ struct sk_buff * prev; /* 8 8 */ struct rb_node rb; /* 16 24 */ struct sock * sk; /* 40 8 */ ktime_t tstamp; /* 48 8 */ struct net_device * dev; /* 56 8 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ struct net_device * input_dev; /* 64 8 */ sk_buff_data_t transport_header; /* 72 4 */ sk_buff_data_t network_header; /* 76 4 */ sk_buff_data_t mac_header; /* 80 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct dst_entry * dst; /* 88 8 */ struct sec_path * sp; /* 96 8 */ char cb[48]; /* 104 48 */ /* cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 24 bytes ago*/ unsigned int len; /* 152 4 */ unsigned int data_len; /* 156 4 */ unsigned int mac_len; /* 160 4 */ union { __wsum csum; /* 4 */ __u32 csum_offset; /* 4 */ }; /* 164 4 */ __u32 priority; /* 168 4 */ __u8 local_df:1; /* 172 1 */ __u8 cloned:1; /* 172 1 */ __u8 ip_summed:2; /* 172 1 */ __u8 nohdr:1; /* 172 1 */ __u8 nfctinfo:3; /* 172 1 */ __u8 pkt_type:3; /* 173 1 */ __u8 fclone:2; /* 173 1 */ __u8 ipvs_property:1; /* 173 1 */ /* XXX 2 bits hole, try to pack */ __be16 protocol; /* 174 2 */ void (*destructor)(struct sk_buff *); /* 176 8 */ struct nf_conntrack * nfct; /* 184 8 */ /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */ struct sk_buff * nfct_reasm; /* 192 8 */ struct nf_bridge_info *nf_bridge; /* 200 8 */ __u16 tc_index; /* 208 2 */ __u16 tc_verd; /* 210 2 */ dma_cookie_t dma_cookie; /* 212 4 */ __u32 secmark; /* 216 4 */ __u32 mark; /* 220 4 */ unsigned int truesize; /* 224 4 */ atomic_t users; /* 228 4 */ unsigned char * head; /* 232 8 */ unsigned char * data; /* 240 8 */ unsigned char * tail; /* 248 8 */ /* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */ unsigned char * end; /* 256 8 */ }; /* size: 264, cachelines: 5 */ /* sum members: 260, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 2 bits */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ On 32 bits nothing changes, and pointers continue to be used with the compiler turning all this abstraction layer into dust.
