The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in the kernel. The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov
This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

2007-10-19Make access to task's nsproxy lighterPavel Emelyanov
When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists. This is slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases. E.g. Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock. On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above. The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed like this: rcu_read_lock(); nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk); if (nsproxy != NULL) { / * * work with the namespaces here * e.g. get the reference on one of them * / } / * * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is * almost dead (zombie) * / rcu_read_unlock(); This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and, of course, tested.

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Rename mode to outer_mode and add inner_modeHerbert Xu
This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode. The existing mode object is renamed to outer_mode. This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms. As it is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use. As a result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa. What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound processing and the outer family for the second part. For inbound processing we'd use the opposite pairing. I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode with inter-family transforms. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-17[NET]: Fix the race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and sk_clone()Pavel Emelyanov
The proposed fix is to delay the reference counter decrement until the quiescent state pass. This will give sk_clone() a chance to get the reference on the cloned filter. Regular sk_filter_uncharge can happen from the sk_free() only and there's no need in delaying the put - the socket is dead anyway and is to be release itself.

2007-10-17[NET]: Cleanup the error path in sk_attach_filterPavel Emelyanov

2007-10-17[NET]: Move the filter releasing into a separate callPavel Emelyanov

2007-10-15[NET]: Avoid copying TCP packets unnecessarilyHerbert Xu
TCP packets all have writable heads, that is, even though it's cloned, it is writable up to the end of the TCP header. This patch makes skb_checksum_help aware of this fact by using skb_clone_writable and avoiding a copy for TCP. I've also modified the BUG_ON tests to be unsigned. The only case where this makes a difference is if csum_start points to a location before skb->data. Since skb->data should always include the header where the checksum field is (and all currently callers adhere to that), this change is safe and may uncover bugs later.

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[NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchroniousDenis V. Lunev
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Acked-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There is no need to process outstanding netlink user->kernel packets during rtnl_unlock now. There is no rtnl_trylock in the rtnetlink_rcv anymore. Normal code path is the following: netlink_sendmsg netlink_unicast netlink_sendskb skb_queue_tail netlink_data_ready rtnetlink_rcv mutex_lock(&rtnl_mutex); netlink_run_queue(sk, qlen, &rtnetlink_rcv_msg); mutex_unlock(&rtnl_mutex); So, it is possible, that packets can be present in the rtnl->sk_receive_queue during rtnl_unlock, but there is no need to process them at that moment as rtnetlink_rcv for that packet is pending.

2007-10-10[NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=nPavel Emelyanov
With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS is not set to save more space in memory. The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section, as noticed by David, since the init section will have references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already done with the __init_refok.

2007-10-10[NET]: split dev_ifsioc() according to lockingJeff Garzik
This always bugged me: dev_ioctl() called dev_ifsioc() either inside read_lock(dev_base_lock) or rtnl_lock(), depending on the ioctl being executed. This change moves the ioctls executed inside dev_base_lock to a new function, dev_ifsioc_locked(). Now the locking context is completely clear to the reader.

2007-10-10[NETNS]: Simplify the network namespace list locking rules.Eric W. Biederman
Denis V. Lunev <den@sw.ru> noticed that the locking rules for the network namespace list are over complicated and broken. In particular the current register_netdev_notifier currently does not take any lock making the for_each_net iteration racy with network namespace creation and destruction. Oops. The fact that we need to use for_each_net in rtnl_unlock() when the rtnetlink support becomes per network namespace makes designing the proper locking tricky. In addition we need to be able to call rtnl_lock() and rtnl_unlock() when we have the net_mutex held. After thinking about it and looking at the alternatives carefully it looks like the simplest and most maintainable solution is to remove net_list_mutex altogether, and to use the rtnl_mutex instead.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the loopback device per network namespace.Eric W. Biederman
This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace. Adding code to create a different loopback device for each network namespace and adding the code to free a loopback device when a network namespace exits. This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the code compiling and working. A later pass will be needed to update the users to use something other than the initial network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[NET]: Add network namespace clone & unshare support.Eric W. Biederman
This patch allows you to create a new network namespace using sys_clone, or sys_unshare. As the network namespace is still experimental and under development clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is selected at compile time. As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few additions made to net_namespace.h to allow a few more functions to be used when the networking stack is not compiled in.

2007-10-10[NET]: Fix running without sysfsEric W. Biederman
When sysfs support is compiled out the kernel still keeps and maintains the kobject tree. So it is not safe to skip our kobject reference counting or to avoid becoming members of the kobject tree. It is safe to not add the networking specific sysfs attributes. This patch removes the sysfs special cases from net/core/dev.c renames functions from netdev_sysfs_xxxx to netdev_kobject_xxxx and always compiles in net-sysfs.c net-sysfs.c is modified with a CONFIG_SYSFS guard around the parts that are actually sysfs specific.
