2008-04-10[SKFILTER]: Add SKF_ADF_NLATTR instructionPatrick McHardy
SKF_ADF_NLATTR searches for a netlink attribute, which avoids manually parsing and walking attributes. It takes the offset at which to start searching in the 'A' register and the attribute type in the 'X' register and returns the offset in the 'A' register. When the attribute is not found it returns zero. A top-level attribute can be located using a filter like this (example for nfnetlink, using struct nfgenmsg): ... { /* A = offset of first attribute */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_IMM, .k = sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) + sizeof(struct nfgenmsg) }, { /* X = CTA_PROTOINFO */ .code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM, .k = CTA_PROTOINFO, }, { /* A = netlink attribute offset */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS, .k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR }, { /* Exit if not found */ .code = BPF_JMP | BPF_JEQ | BPF_K, .k = 0, .jt = <error> }, ... A nested attribute below the CTA_PROTOINFO attribute would then be parsed like this: ... { /* A += sizeof(struct nlattr) */ .code = BPF_ALU | BPF_ADD | BPF_K, .k = sizeof(struct nlattr), }, { /* X = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP */ .code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM, .k = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP, }, { /* A = netlink attribute offset */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS, .k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR }, ... The data of an attribute can be loaded into 'A' like this: ... { /* X = A (attribute offset) */ .code = BPF_MISC | BPF_TAX, }, { /* A = skb->data[X + k] */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_IND, .k = sizeof(struct nlattr), }, ...

2008-03-31[SOCK][NETNS]: Add the percpu prot_inuse counter in the struct net.Pavel Emelyanov
Such an accounting would cost us two more dereferences to get the percpu variable from the struct net, so I make sock_prot_inuse_get and _add calls work differently depending on CONFIG_NET_NS - without it old optimized routines are used. The per-cpu counter for init_net is prepared in core_initcall, so that even af_inet, that starts as fs_initcall, will already have the init_net prepared.

2008-03-31[SOCK][NETNS]: Add a struct net argument to sock_prot_inuse_add and _get.Pavel Emelyanov
This counter is about to become per-proto-and-per-net, so we'll need two arguments to determine which cell in this "table" to work with. All the places, but proc already pass proper net to it - proc will be tuned a bit later. Some indentation with spaces in proc files is done to keep the file coding style consistent.

2008-03-28[SOCK]: Introduce a percpu inuse counters array (v2).Pavel Emelyanov
And redirect sock_prot_inuse_add and _get to use one. As far as the dereferences are concerned. Before the patch we made 1 dereference to proto->inuse.add call, the call itself and then called the __get_cpu_var() on a static variable. After the patch we make a direct call, then one dereference to proto->inuse_idx and then the same __get_cpu_var() on a still static variable. So this patch doesn't seem to produce performance penalty on SMP. This is not per-net yet, but I will deliberately make NET_NS=y case separated from NET_NS=n one, since it'll cost us one-or-two more dereferences to get the struct net and the inuse counter.

2008-03-24[NEIGH]: Fix race between pneigh deletion and ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns (v3).Pavel Emelyanov
Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine) should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry. There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns() uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER. This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped and the deleting procedure may proceed. One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too big for -rc4. So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check the flags on alive pneigh entry. Changes from v2: As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module. The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony. Changes from v1: Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized by gcc.

2008-03-21[NET]: Add per-connection option to set max TSO frame sizePeter P Waskiewicz Jr
Update: My mailer ate one of Jarek's feedback mails... Fixed the parameter in netif_set_gso_max_size() to be u32, not u16. Fixed the whitespace issue due to a patch import botch. Changed the types from u32 to unsigned int to be more consistent with other variables in the area. Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree. Update: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16. Moved the location of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath. Made more consistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a define for the max GSO size. Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree. Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to unsigned - thanks Stephen! This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of the TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection. By setting the netdevice's gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO frame size based on that value. This will propogate into the TCP layer, and send TSO's of that size to the hardware. This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices coexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc. This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation offloading.

2008-02-23[NEIGH]: Fix race between neighbor lookup and table's hash_rnd update.Pavel Emelyanov
The neigh_hash_grow() may update the tbl->hash_rnd value, which is used in all tbl->hash callbacks to calculate the hashval. Two lookup routines may race with this, since they call the ->hash callback without the tbl->lock held. Since the hash_rnd is changed with this lock write-locked moving the calls to ->hash under this lock read-locked closes this gap.
