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.

2007-10-18[INET]: Justification for local port range robustness.Anton Arapov
There is a justifying patch for Stephen's patches. Stephen's patches disallows using a port range of one single port and brakes the meaning of the 'remaining' variable, in some places it has different meaning. My patch gives back the sense of 'remaining' variable. It should mean how many ports are remaining and nothing else. Also my patch allows using a single port. I sure we must be able to use mentioned port range, this does not restricted by documentation and does not brake current behavior. usefull links: Patches posted by Stephen Hemminger http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119206106218187&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119206109918235&w=2 Andrew Morton's comment http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119248225007737&w=2 1.

No one has bothered to set strategy routine for the the netfilter sysctls that return jiffies to be sysctl_jiffies.

Both high-sack detection and new lowest seq variables have unnecessary zero special case which are now removed by setting safe initial seqnos. This also fixes problem which caused zero received_upto being passed to tcp_mark_lost_retrans which confused after relations within the marker loop causing incorrect TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS clearing.

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. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Use the top IPv4 route's peer instead of the bottomHerbert Xu
For IPv4 we were using the bottom route's peer instead of the top one. This is wrong because the peer is only used by TCP to keep track of information about the TCP destination address which certainly does not live in the bottom route. This patch fixes that which allows us to get rid of the family check since the bottom route could be IPv6 while the top one must always be IPv4. I've also changed the other fields which are IPv4-specific to get the info from the top route instead of potentially bogus data from the bottom route.

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Store afinfo pointer in xfrm_modeHerbert Xu
It is convenient to have a pointer from xfrm_state to address-specific functions such as the output function for a family. Currently the address-specific policy code calls out to the xfrm state code to get those pointers when we could get it in an easier way via the state itself. This patch adds an xfrm_state_afinfo to xfrm_mode (since they're address-specific) and changes the policy code to use it. I've also added an owner field to do reference counting on the module providing the afinfo even though it isn't strictly necessary today since IPv6 can't be unloaded yet.

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Add missing BEET checksHerbert Xu
Currently BEET mode does not reinject the packet back into the stack like tunnel mode does. Since BEET should behave just like tunnel mode this is incorrect. This patch fixes this by introducing a flags field to xfrm_mode that tells the IPsec code whether it should terminate and reinject the packet back into the stack. It then sets the flag for BEET and tunnel mode. I've also added a number of missing BEET checks elsewhere where we check whether a given mode is a tunnel or not.

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Move tunnel parsing for IPv4 out of xfrm4_inputHerbert Xu

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Fix pure tunnel modes involving IPv6Herbert Xu
I noticed that my recent patch broke 6-on-4 pure IPsec tunnels (the ones that are only used for incompressible IPsec packets). Subsequent reviews show that I broke 6-on-6 pure tunnels more than three years ago and nobody ever noticed. I suppose every must be testing 6-on-6 IPComp with large pings which are very compressible :) This patch fixes both cases.

2007-10-17[INET]: Consolidate frag queues freeingPavel Emelyanov

2007-10-17[INET]: Remove no longer needed ->equal callbackPavel Emelyanov

2007-10-17[INET]: Consolidate xxx_find() in fragment managementPavel Emelyanov
Here we need another callback ->match to check whether the entry found in hash matches the key passed. The key used is the same as the creation argument for inet_frag_create. Yet again, this ->match is the same for netfilter and ipv6. Running a frew steps forward - this callback will later replace the ->equal one. Since the inet_frag_find() uses the already consolidated inet_frag_create() remove the xxx_frag_create from protocol codes. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-17[INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_create()Pavel Emelyanov
This one uses the xxx_frag_intern() and xxx_frag_alloc() routines, which are already consolidated, so remove them from protocol code (as promised). The ->constructor callback is used to init the rest of the frag queue and it is the same for netfilter and ipv6. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-17[INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_alloc()Pavel Emelyanov
Just perform the kzalloc() allocation and setup common fields in the inet_frag_queue(). Then return the result to the caller to initialize the rest. The inet_frag_alloc() may return NULL, so check the return value before doing the container_of(). This looks ugly, but the xxx_frag_alloc() will be removed soon. The xxx_expire() timer callbacks are patches, because the argument is now the inet_frag_queue, not the protocol specific queue.

2007-10-17[INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_internPavel Emelyanov
This routine checks for the existence of a given entry in the hash table and inserts the new one if needed. The ->equal callback is used to compare two frag_queue-s together, but this one is temporary and will be removed later. The netfilter code and the ipv6 one use the same routine to compare frags. The inet_frag_intern() always returns non-NULL pointer, so convert the inet_frag_queue into protocol specific one (with the container_of) without any checks.

2007-10-17[INET]: Omit double hash calculations in xxx_frag_internPavel Emelyanov

2007-10-15[INET]: Small cleanup for xxx_put after evictor consolidationPavel Emelyanov
After the evictor code is consolidated there is no need in passing the extra pointer to the xxx_put() functions. The only place when it made sense was the evictor code itself. Maybe this change must got with the previous (or with the next) patch, but I try to make them shorter as much as possible to simplify the review (but they are still large anyway), so this change goes in a separate patch.

2007-10-15[INET]: Consolidate the xxx_evictorPavel Emelyanov
The evictors collect some statistics for ipv4 and ipv6, so make it return the number of evicted queues and account them all at once in the caller.

Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-15[INET]: Consolidate the xxx_frag_destroyPavel Emelyanov
To make in possible we need to know the exact frag queue size for inet_frags->mem management and two callbacks: * to destoy the skb (optional, used in conntracks only) * to free the queue itself (mandatory, but later I plan to move the allocation and the destruction of frag_queues into the common place, so this callback will most likely be optional too).

2007-10-15[INET]: Consolidate xxx_the secret_rebuildPavel Emelyanov
This code works with the generic data types as well, so move this into inet_fragment.c This move makes it possible to hide the secret_timer management and the secret_rebuild routine completely in the inet_fragment.c Introduce the ->hashfn() callback in inet_frags() to get the hashfun for a given inet_frag_queue() object.

2007-10-15[INET]: Consolidate the xxx_frag_killPavel Emelyanov

2007-10-15[INET]: Collect common frag sysctl variables togetherPavel Emelyanov
Some sysctl variables are used to tune the frag queues management and it will be useful to work with them in a common way in the future, so move them into one structure, moreover they are the same for all the frag management codes. I don't place them in the existing inet_frags object, introduced in the previous patch for two reasons: 1. to keep them in the __read_mostly section; 2. not to export the whole inet_frags objects outside.

2007-10-15[INET]: Collect frag queues management objects togetherPavel Emelyanov
There are some objects that are common in all the places which are used to keep track of frag queues, they are: * hash table * LRU list * rw lock * rnd number for hash function * the number of queues * the amount of memory occupied by queues * secret timer Move all this stuff into one structure (struct inet_frags) to make it possible use them uniformly in the future. Like with the previous patch this mostly consists of hunks like - write_lock(&ipfrag_lock); + write_lock(&ip4_frags.lock); To address the issue with exporting the number of queues and the amount of memory occupied by queues outside the .c file they are declared in, I introduce a couple of helpers.

2007-10-15[IPV4]: Uninline netfilter okfnsPatrick McHardy
Now that we don't pass double skb pointers to nf_hook_slow anymore, gcc can generate tail calls for some of the netfilter hook okfn invocations, so there is no need to inline the functions anymore. This caused huge code bloat since we ended up with one inlined version and one out-of-line version since we pass the address to nf_hook_slow.

2007-10-11[TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problemsIlpo Järvinen
Detection implemented with lost_retrans must work also when fastpath is taken, yet most of the queue is skipped including (very likely) those retransmitted skb's we're interested in. This problem appeared when the hints got added, which removed a need to always walk over the whole write queue head. Therefore decicion for the lost_retrans worker loop entry must be separated from the sacktag processing more than it was necessary before. It turns out to be problematic to optimize the worker loop very heavily because ack_seqs of skb may have a number of discontinuity points. Maybe similar approach as currently is implemented could be attempted but that's becoming more and more complex because the trend is towards less skb walking in sacktag marker. Trying a simple work until all rexmitted skbs heve been processed approach. Maybe after(highest_sack_end_seq, tp->high_seq) checking is not sufficiently accurate and causes entry too often in no-work-to-do cases. Since that's not known, I've separated solution to that from this patch. Noticed because of report against a related problem from TAKANO Ryousei <takano@axe-inc.co.jp>. He also provided a patch to that part of the problem. This patch includes solution to it (though this patch has to use somewhat different placement). TAKANO's description and patch is available here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119149311913288&w=2 ...In short, TAKANO's problem is that end_seq the loop is using not necessarily the largest SACK block's end_seq because the current ACK may still have higher SACK blocks which are later by the loop.
