2007-11-02[SG] Get rid of __sg_mark_end()Jens Axboe
sg_mark_end() overwrites the page_link information, but all users want __sg_mark_end() behaviour where we just set the end bit. That is the most natural way to use the sg list, since you'll fill it in and then mark the end point. So change sg_mark_end() to only set the termination bit. Add a sg_magic debug check as well, and clear a chain pointer if it is set. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-30[NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls.David S. Miller
This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by commit 68e3f5dd4db62619fdbe520d36c9ebf62e672256 [CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry. The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end(). After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is what all of the callers would end up doing anyways. I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec(). Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to __sg_mark_end() as well. Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is what led to these bugs in the first place. The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable() and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h Signed-off-by: David S.

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).

2007-10-15[SKBUFF]: Merge common code between copy_skb_header and skb_cloneHerbert Xu
This patch creates a new function __copy_skb_header to merge the common code between copy_skb_header and skb_clone. Having two functions which are largely the same is a source of wasted labour as well as confusion. In fact the tc_verd stuff is almost certainly a bug since it's treated differently in skb_clone compared to the callers of copy_skb_header (skb_copy/pskb_copy/skb_copy_expand). I've kept that difference in tact with a comment added asking for clarification. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[SKBUFF]: Fix up csum_start when head room changesHerbert Xu
Thanks for noticing the bug where csum_start is not updated when the head room changes. This patch fixes that.

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 ..

2007-06-23[NET]: Make skb_seq_read unmap the last fragmentOlaf Kirch
Having walked through the entire skbuff, skb_seq_read would leave the last fragment mapped. As a consequence, the unwary caller would leak kmaps, and proceed with preempt_count off by one.

2007-04-26[NET]: Clean up sk_buff walkers.Jean Delvare
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.

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[SK_BUFF]: Use offsets for skb->{mac,network,transport}_header on 64bit ↵Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
architectures 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.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-12-07[PATCH] node-aware skb allocationChristoph Hellwig
Node-aware allocation of skbs for the receive path. Details: - __alloc_skb gets a new node argument and cals the node-aware slab functions with it. - netdev_alloc_skb passed the node number it gets from dev_to_node to it, everyone else passes -1 (any node) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@engr.sgi.com> Cc: "David S.
