2008-01-31[VLAN]: set_rx_mode support for unicast address listChris Leech
Reuse the existing logic for multicast list synchronization for the unicast address list. The core of dev_mc_sync/unsync are split out as __dev_addr_sync/unsync and moved from dev_mcast.c to dev.c. These are then used to implement dev_unicast_sync/unsync as well. I'm working on cleaning up Intel's FCoE stack, which generates new MAC addresses from the fibre channel device id assigned by the fabric as per the current draft specification in T11. When using such a protocol in a VLAN environment it would be nice to not always be forced into promiscuous mode, assuming the underlying Ethernet driver supports multiple unicast addresses as well.

- Remove an unused definition (LAT_BUCKETS_MAX) in net/core/pktgen.c. - Remove the corresponding comment. - The LAT_BUCKETS_MAX seems to have to do with a patch from a long time ago which was not applied (Ben Greear), which dealt with latency counters.

Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API.

2008-01-28[NETNS]: Namespace stop vs 'ip r l' race.Denis V. Lunev
During network namespace stop process kernel side netlink sockets belonging to a namespace should be closed. They should not prevent namespace to stop, so they do not increment namespace usage counter. Though this counter will be put during last sock_put. The raplacement of the correct netns for init_ns solves the problem only partial as socket to be stoped until proper stop is a valid netlink kernel socket and can be looked up by the user processes. This is not a problem until it resides in initial namespace (no processes inside this net), but this is not true for init_net. So, hold the referrence for a socket, remove it from lookup tables and only after that change namespace and perform a last put. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting functions are removed since other functions do same thing. Renaming: sk_stream_free_skb() -> sk_wmem_free_skb() __sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> __sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_schedule -> __sk_mem_schedule() sk_stream_pages() -> sk_mem_pages() sk_stream_rmem_schedule() -> sk_rmem_schedule() sk_stream_wmem_schedule() -> sk_wmem_schedule() sk_charge_skb() -> sk_mem_charge() Removeing sk_stream_rfree(): consolidates into sock_rfree() sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r() sk_stream_mem_schedule() The following functions are added. sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge() In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is removed from sk_mem_charge(). Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call. Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface in TCP and SCTP.

2008-01-28[NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network ↵Eric W. Biederman
namespaces I'm actually surprised at how much was involved. At first glance it appears that the neighbour table data structures are already split by network device so all that should be needed is to modify the user interface commands to filter the set of neighbours by the network namespace of their devices. However a couple things turned up while I was reading through the code. The proxy neighbour table allows entries with no network device, and the neighbour parms are per network device (except for the defaults) so they now need a per network namespace default. So I updated the two structures (which surprised me) with their very own network namespace parameter. Updated the relevant lookup and destroy routines with a network namespace parameter and modified the code that interacts with users to filter out neighbour table entries for devices of other namespaces. I'm a little concerned that we can modify and display the global table configuration and from all network namespaces. But this appears good enough for now. I keep thinking modifying the neighbour table to have per network namespace instances of each table type would should be cleaner. The hash table is already dynamically sized so there are it is not a limiter. The default parameter would be straight forward to take care of. However when I look at the how the network table is built and used I still find some assumptions that there is only a single neighbour table for each type of table in the kernel. The netlink operations, neigh_seq_start, the non-core network users that call neigh_lookup. So while it might be doable it would require more refactoring than my current approach of just doing a little extra filtering in the code. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

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[NEIGH]: Use the ctl paths to create neighbours sysctlsPavel Emelyanov
The appropriate path is prepared right inside this function. It is prepared similar to how the ctl tables were. Since the path is modified, it is put on the stack, to avoid possible races with multiple calls to neigh_sysctl_register() : it is called by protocols and I didn't find any protection in this case. Did I overlooked the rtnl lock?. The stack growth of the neigh_sysctl_register() is 40 bytes. I believe this is OK, since this is not that much and this function is not called with the deep stack (device/protocols register). The device's name is stored on the template to free it later. This will help with the net namespaces, as each namespace should have its own set of these ctls. Besides, this saves ~350 bytes from the neigh template :) Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
