2007-10-15[NETFILTER]: Avoid skb_copy/pskb_copy/skb_realloc_headroomHerbert Xu
This patch replaces unnecessary uses of skb_copy, pskb_copy and skb_realloc_headroom by functions such as skb_make_writable and pskb_expand_head. This allows us to remove the double pointers later.

2007-10-15[NETFILTER]: Do not copy skb in skb_make_writableHerbert Xu
Now that all callers of netfilter can guarantee that the skb is not shared, we no longer have to copy the skb in skb_make_writable. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-10-10[NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlinkEric W. Biederman
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safeEric W. Biederman
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nfnetlink_queue: don't unregister handler of other subsystemYasuyuki Kozakai
The queue handlers registered by ip[6]_queue.ko at initialization should not be unregistered according to requests from userland program using nfnetlink_queue.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_to_linear_data{_offset}Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
To clearly state the intent of copying to linear sk_buffs, _offset being a overly long variant but interesting for the sake of saving some bytes. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>
2007-04-25[NETLINK]: Remove error pointer from netlink message handlerThomas Graf
The error pointer argument in netlink message handlers is used to signal the special case where processing has to be interrupted because a dump was started but no error happened. Instead it is simpler and more clear to return -EINTR and have netlink_run_queue() deal with getting the queue right. nfnetlink passed on this error pointer to its subsystem handlers but only uses it to signal the start of a netlink dump. Therefore it can be removed there as well. This patch also cleans up the error handling in the affected message handlers to be consistent since it had to be touched anyway.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_tArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

2007-04-25[NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_tEric Dumazet
We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain 'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct sock. This has some drawbacks : - Fixed resolution of micro second. - Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16 I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution. As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...) Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS) Note : this patch includes a bug correction in compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> CC: John find <linux.kernel@free.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 8Arjan van de Ven

2006-11-15[NETFILTER]: Use pskb_trim in {ip,ip6,nfnetlink}_queuePatrick McHardy
Based on patch by James D. Nurmi: I've got some code very dependant on nfnetlink_queue, and turned up a large number of warns coming from skb_trim. While it's quite possibly my code, having not seen it on older kernels made me a bit suspect. Anyhow, based on some googling I turned up this thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/13/56 And believe the issue to be related, so attached is a small patch to the kernel -- not sure if this is completely correct, but for anyone else hitting the WARN_ON(1) in skbuff.h, it might be helpful..

2006-03-28[NETFILTER]: Rename init functions.Andrew Morton
Every netfilter module uses `init' for its module_init() function and `fini' or `cleanup' for its module_exit() function. Problem is, this creates uninformative initcall_debug output and makes ctags rather useless. So go through and rename them all to $(filename)_init and $(filename)_fini.

2005-10-03[NET]: Fix packet timestamping.Herbert Xu
I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time. Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day. This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in. In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while yet. When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: add /proc/net/netfilter interface to nf_queueHarald Welte
This patch adds a /proc/net/netfilter/nf_queue file, similar to the recently-added /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log. It indicates which queue handler is registered to which protocol family. This is useful since there are now multiple queue handlers in the treee (ip[6]_queue, nfnetlink_queue). Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: add correct bridging support to nfnetlink_{queue,log}Harald Welte
This patch adds support for passing the real 'physical' device ifindex down to userspace via nfnetlink_log and nfnetlink_queue. This feature basically obsoletes net/bridge/netfilter/ebt_ulog.c, and it is likely ebt_ulog.c will die with one of the next couple of patches.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: attribute count is an attribute of message type, not subsytemHarald Welte
Prior to this patch, every nfnetlink subsystem had to specify it's attribute count. However, in reality the attribute count depends on the message type within the subsystem, not the subsystem itself. This patch moves 'attr_count' from 'struct nfnetlink_subsys' into nfnl_callback to fix this. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
