2008-01-28[DST]: shrinks sizeof(struct rtable) by 64 bytes on x86_64Eric Dumazet
On x86_64, sizeof(struct rtable) is 0x148, which is rounded up to 0x180 bytes by SLAB allocator. We can reduce this to exactly 0x140 bytes, without alignment overhead, and store 12 struct rtable per PAGE instead of 10. rate_tokens is currently defined as an "unsigned long", while its content should not exceed 6*HZ. It can safely be converted to an unsigned int. Moving tclassid right after rate_tokens to fill the 4 bytes hole permits to save 8 bytes on 'struct dst_entry', which finally permits to save 8 bytes on 'struct rtable' Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-01-28[NETNS][DST]: Add the network namespace pointer in dst_opsDaniel Lezcano
The network namespace pointer can be stored into the dst_ops structure. This is usefull when there are multiple instances of the dst_ops for a protocol. When there are no several instances, this field will be never used in the protocol. So there is no impact for the protocols which do implement the network namespaces.

2008-01-28[NETNS][DST] dst: pass the dst_ops as parameter to the gc functionsDaniel Lezcano
The garbage collection function receive the dst_ops structure as parameter. This is useful for the next incoming patchset because it will need the dst_ops (there will be several instances) and the network namespace pointer (contained in the dst_ops). The protocols which do not take care of the namespaces will not be impacted by this change (expect for the function signature), they do just ignore the parameter.

2008-01-28[IPSEC]: Add ICMP host relookup supportHerbert Xu
RFC 4301 requires us to relookup ICMP traffic that does not match any policies using the reverse of its payload. This patch implements this for ICMP traffic that originates from or terminates on localhost. This is activated on outbound with the new policy flag XFRM_POLICY_ICMP, and on inbound by the new state flag XFRM_STATE_ICMP. On inbound the policy check is now performed by the ICMP protocol so that it can repeat the policy check where necessary.

2008-01-28[IPSEC]: Make xfrm_lookup flags argument a bit-fieldHerbert Xu
This patch introduces an enum for bits in the flags argument of xfrm_lookup. This is so that we can cram more information into it later. Since all current users use just the values 0 and 1, XFRM_LOOKUP_WAIT has been added with the value 1 << 0 to represent the current meaning of flags. The test in __xfrm_lookup has been changed accordingly. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-28[IPSEC]: Merge most of the output pathHerbert Xu
As part of the work on asynchrnous cryptographic operations, we need to be able to resume from the spot where they occur. As such, it helps if we isolate them to one spot. This patch moves most of the remaining family-specific processing into the common output code. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-28[NET]: Eliminate duplicate copies of dst_discardHerbert Xu
We have a number of copies of dst_discard scattered around the place which all do the same thing, namely free a packet on the input or output paths. This patch deletes all of them except dst_discard and points all the users to it. The only non-trivial bit is decnet where it returns an error. However, conceptually this is identical to the blackhole functions used in IPv4 and IPv6 which do not return errors. So they should either all return errors or all return zero. For now I've stuck with the majority and picked zero as the return value. It doesn't really matter in practice since few if any driver would react differently depending on a zero return value or NET_RX_DROP.

2008-01-28[IPV6]: Move nfheader_len into rt6_infoHerbert Xu
The dst member nfheader_len is only used by IPv6. It's also currently creating a rather ugly alignment hole in struct dst. Therefore this patch moves it from there into struct rt6_info. It also reorders the fields in rt6_info to minimize holes. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-11-10[NET]: Make helper to get dst entry and "use" itPavel Emelyanov

2007-05-24[XFRM]: Allow packet drops during larval state resolution.David S. Miller
The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the -EAGAIN buisness we had before. Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules. We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in libc. With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default. This lays the framework to either: 1) Make this default at some point or... 2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of. The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved in a certain amount of time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-02-10[NET]: Reorder fields of struct dst_entryEric Dumazet
This last patch (but not least :) ) finally moves the next pointer at the end of struct dst_entry. This permits to perform route cache lookups with a minimal cost of one cache line per entry, instead of two. Both 32bits and 64bits platforms benefit from this new layout.

2007-02-10[NET]: Introduce union in struct dst_entry to hold 'next' pointerEric Dumazet

2006-09-22[XFRM] STATE: Support non-fragment outbound transformation headers.Masahide NAKAMURA
For originated outbound IPv6 packets which will fragment, ip6_append_data() should know length of extension headers before sending them and the length is carried by dst_entry. IPv6 IPsec headers fragment then transformation was designed to place all headers after fragment header. OTOH Mobile IPv6 extension headers do not fragment then it is a good idea to make dst_entry have non-fragment length to tell it to ip6_append_data().

2006-01-07[XFRM]: Netfilter IPsec output hooksPatrick McHardy
Call netfilter hooks before IPsec transforms. Packets visit the FORWARD/LOCAL_OUT and POST_ROUTING hook before the first encapsulation and the LOCAL_OUT and POST_ROUTING hook before each following tunnel mode transform. Patch from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>: Move the loop from dst_output into xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output since they're the only ones who need to it. xfrm{4,6}_output_one() processes the first SA all subsequent transport mode SAs and is called in a loop that calls the netfilter hooks between each two calls. In order to avoid the tail call issue, I've added the inline function nf_hook which is nf_hook_slow plus the empty list check. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
