2009-04-16gro: New frags interface to avoid copying shinfoHerbert Xu
It turns out that copying a 16-byte area at ~800k times a second can be really expensive :) This patch redesigns the frags GRO interface to avoid copying that area twice. The two disciples of the frags interface have been converted. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-04-09RDS/IW+IB: Set recv ring low water mark to 1/2 full.Steve Wise
Currently the recv ring low water mark is 1/4 the depth. Performance measurements show that this limits iWARP throughput by flow controlling the rds-stress senders. Setting it to 1/2 seems to max the T3 performance. I tried even higher levels but that didn't help and it started to increase the rds thread cpu utilization.

2009-04-06xfrm: fix fragmentation on inter family tunnelsSteffen Klassert
If an ipv4 packet (not locally generated with IP_DF flag not set) bigger than mtu size is supposed to go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel, the packetsize check in xfrm4_tunnel_check_size() is omited and ipv6 drops the packet without sending a notice to the original sender of the ipv4 packet. Another issue is that ipv4 connection tracking does reassembling of incomming fragmented packets. If such a reassembled packet is supposed to go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel it will be droped, even if the original sender did proper fragmentation. According to RFC 2473 (section 7) tunnel ipv6 packets resulting from the encapsulation of an original packet are considered as locally generated packets. If such a packet passed the checks in xfrm{4,6}_tunnel_check_size() fragmentation is allowed according to RFC 2473 (section 7.1/7.2). This patch sets skb->local_df in xfrm6_prepare_output() to achieve fragmentation in this case. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-04-03nfsd: don't use the deferral service, return NFS4ERR_DELAYAndy Adamson
On an NFSv4.1 server cache miss that causes an upcall, NFS4ERR_DELAY will be returned. It is up to the NFSv4.1 client to resend only the operations that have not been processed. Initialize rq_usedeferral to 1 in svc_process(). It sill be turned off in nfsd4_proc_compound() only when NFSv4.1 Sessions are used. Note: this isn't an adequate solution on its own. It's acceptable as a way to get some minimal 4.1 up and working, but we're going to have to find a way to avoid returning DELAY in all common cases before 4.1 can really be considered ready.

2009-04-02tcp: miscounts due to tcp_fragment pcount resetIlpo Järvinen
It seems that trivial reset of pcount to one was not sufficient in tcp_retransmit_skb. Multiple counters experience a positive miscount when skb's pcount gets lowered without the necessary adjustments (depending on skb's sacked bits which exactly), at worst a packets_out miscount can crash at RTO if the write queue is empty! Triggering this requires mss change, so bidir tcp or mtu probe or like.

2009-04-02RDS: Use spinlock to protect 64b value update on 32b archsAndy Grover
We have a 64bit value that needs to be set atomically. This is easy and quick on all 64bit archs, and can also be done on x86/32 with set_64bit() (uses cmpxchg8b). However other 32b archs don't have this. I actually changed this to the current state in preparation for mainline because the old way (using a spinlock on 32b) resulted in unsightly #ifdefs in the code.

2009-03-31proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it.

This patch fixes a dependency with IPv6: ERROR: "__ipv6_addr_type" [net/netfilter/xt_cluster.ko] undefined! This patch adds a function that checks if the higher bits of the address is 0xFF to identify a multicast address, instead of adding a dependency due to __ipv6_addr_type(). I came up with this idea after Patrick McHardy pointed possible problems with runtime module dependencies.

Allows for the removal of byteswapping in some places and the removal of HIPQUAD (replaced by %pI4). Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-03-28netfilter: fix endian bug in conntrack printksHarvey Harrison
dcc_ip is treated as a host-endian value in the first printk, but the second printk uses %pI4 which expects a be32. This will cause a mismatch between the debug statement and the warning statement. Treat as a be32 throughout and avoid some byteswapping during some comparisions, and allow another user of HIPQUAD to bite the dust.

2009-03-28gso: Fix support for linear packetsHerbert Xu
When GRO/frag_list support was added to GSO, I made an error which broke the support for segmenting linear GSO packets (GSO packets are normally non-linear in the payload). These days most of these packets are constructed by the tun driver, which prefers to allocate linear memory if possible. This is fixed in the latest kernel, but for 2.6.29 and earlier it is still the norm. Therefore this bug causes failures with GSO when used with tun in 2.6.29.
