2008-01-28[NETNS]: Place fib tables into netns.Denis V. Lunev2-4/+4

2008-01-28[NETNS]: Add netns parameter to inet_(dev_)add_type.Eric W. Biederman1-2/+2
The patch extends the inet_addr_type and inet_dev_addr_type with the network namespace pointer. That allows to access the different tables relatively to the network namespace. The modification of the signature function is reported in all the callers of the inet_addr_type using the pointer to the well known init_net.

2008-01-28[NETFILTER]: Use the ctl paths instead of hand-made analoguePavel Emelyanov2-7/+3
The conntracks subsystem has a similar infrastructure to maintain ctl_paths, but since we already have it on the generic level, I think it's OK to switch to using it. So, basically, this patch just replaces the ctl_table-s with ctl_path-s, nf_register_sysctl_table with register_sysctl_paths() and removes no longer needed code.

2008-01-28[LIB] pcounter : unline too big functionsEric Dumazet1-54/+26
Before pushing pcounter to Linus tree, I would like to make some adjustments. Goal is to reduce kernel text size, by unlining too big functions. When a pcounter is bound to a statically defined per_cpu variable, we define two small helpers functions. (No more folding function using the fat for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) ... ) static DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, NAME##_pcounter_values); static void NAME##_pcounter_add(struct pcounter *self, int val) { __get_cpu_var(NAME##_pcounter_values) += val; } static int NAME##_pcounter_getval(const struct pcounter *self, int cpu) { return per_cpu(NAME##_pcounter_values, cpu); } Fast path is therefore unchanged, while folding/alloc/free is now unlined.

This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions for stream protocols.

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.

2008-01-28[NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network ↵Eric W. Biederman1-3/+7
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.
