2008-01-31[NETFILTER]: bridge netfilter: remove nf_bridge_info read-only netoutdev memberPatrick McHardy
Before the removal of the deferred output hooks, netoutdev was used in case of VLANs on top of a bridge to store the VLAN device, so the deferred hooks would see the correct output device.

Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-28[UDP]: Only increment counter on first peek/recvHerbert Xu
The previous move of the the UDP inDatagrams counter caused each peek of the same packet to be counted separately. This may be undesirable. This patch fixes this by adding a bit to sk_buff to record whether this packet has already been seen through skb_recv_datagram. We then only increment the counter when the packet is seen for the first time. The only dodgy part is the fact that skb_recv_datagram doesn't have a good way of returning this new bit of information. So I've added a new function __skb_recv_datagram that does return this and made skb_recv_datagram a wrapper around it. The plan is to eventually replace all uses of skb_recv_datagram with this new function at which time it can be renamed its proper name.

2008-01-28[UDP]: Avoid repeated counting of checksum errors due to peekingHerbert Xu
Currently it is possible for two processes to peek on the same socket and end up incrementing the error counter twice for the same packet.

2007-11-26[SKBUFF]: Free old skb properly in skb_morphHerbert Xu
The skb_morph function only freed the data part of the dst skb, but leaked the auxiliary data such as the netfilter fields. This patch fixes this by moving the relevant parts from __kfree_skb to skb_release_all and calling it in skb_morph. It also makes kfree_skbmem static since it's no longer called anywhere else and it now no longer does skb_release_data. Thanks to Yasuyuki KOZAKAI for finding this problem and posting a patch for it.

2007-11-10[NET]: Fix skb_truesize_check() assertionChuck Lever
The intent of the assertion in skb_truesize_check() is to check for skb->truesize being decremented too much by other code, resulting in a wraparound below zero. The type of the right side of the comparison causes the compiler to promote the left side to an unsigned type, despite the presence of an explicit type cast. This defeats the check for negativity. Ensure both sides of the comparison are a signed type to prevent the implicit type conversion. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-10-22[NET]: Fix SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD calculationHerbert Xu
The calculation in SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD is incorrect in that it can cause an overflow across a page boundary which is what it's meant to prevent. In particular, the header length (X) should not be lumped together with skb_shared_info. The latter needs to be aligned properly while the header has no choice but to sit in front of wherever the payload is. Therefore the correct calculation is to take away the aligned size of skb_shared_info, and then subtract the header length. The resulting quantity L satisfies the following inequality: SKB_DATA_ALIGN(L + X) + sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) <= PAGE_SIZE This is the quantity used by alloc_skb to do the actual allocation.

2007-10-15[SKBUFF]: Add skb_morphHerbert Xu
This patch creates a new function skb_morph that's just like skb_clone except that it lets user provide the spare skb that will be overwritten by the one that's to be cloned. This will be used by IP fragment reassembly so that we get back the same skb that went in last (rather than the head skb that we get now which requires us to carry around double pointers all over the place).

2007-07-10[SKBUFF]: Keep track of writable header len of headerless clonesPatrick McHardy
Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them, even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is actually writable because TCP release the header reference before cloning. The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit. I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch, but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback, probably because of the large MTU. Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and without NAT: - sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys 0m0.388s - sendfile eth0, NAT: sys 0m1.835s - sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys 0m0.370s (~ -80%) - sendfile lo, no NAT: sys 0m0.258s - sendfile lo, NAT: sys 0m2.609s - sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m0.260s (~ -90%) - sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys 0m2.508s - sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys 0m2.539s - sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.445s (no change) - sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s - sendmsg lo, NAT: sys 0m3.557s - sendmsg lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.159s (~ -40%) I expect other users can see a similar performance improvement, packet mangling iptables targets, ipip and ip_gre come to mind ..

2007-06-15[TCP]: Congestion control API RTT sampling fixIlpo Järvinen
Commit 164891aadf1721fca4dce473bb0e0998181537c6 broke RTT sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps could be fed to them without providing any way for them to identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

2007-04-25[NET]: Treat CHECKSUM_PARTIAL as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARYHerbert Xu

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[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.
