2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_transport_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo10-37/+40
For the places where we need a pointer to the transport header, it is still legal to touch skb->h.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it to another layer header. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: More skb_reset_transport_header conversionsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-2/+2
These are a bit more subtle, they are of this type: - skb->h.raw = payload; __skb_pull(skb, payload - skb->data); + skb_reset_transport_header(skb); __skb_pull results in: skb->data = skb->data + payload - skb->data; skb->data = payload; So after __skb_pull we have skb->data pointing to payload and we can just call skb_reset_transport_header(skb), that will do: skb->h.raw = payload; The others are similar, allowing us to get rid of some more cases where a pointer was being attributed to the layer headers.

2007-04-25[UDP]: Clean up UDP-Lite receive checksumHerbert Xu2-33/+43
This patch eliminates some duplicate code for the verification of receive checksums between UDP-Lite and UDP. It does this by introducing __skb_checksum_complete_head which is identical to __skb_checksum_complete_head apart from the fact that it takes a length parameter rather than computing the first skb->len bytes. As a result UDP-Lite will be able to use hardware checksum offload for packets which do not use partial coverage checksums. It also means that UDP-Lite loopback no longer does unnecessary checksum verification. If any NICs start support UDP-Lite this would also start working automatically. This patch removes the assumption that msg_flags has MSG_TRUNC clear upon entry in recvmsg. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

Nominally an autoconfigured IPv6 address is added to an interface in the Tentative state (as per RFC 2462). Addresses in this state remain in this state while the Duplicate Address Detection process operates on them to determine their uniqueness on the network. During this period, these tentative addresses may not be used for communication, increasing the time before a node may be able to communicate on a network. Using Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection, autoconfigured addresses may be used immediately for communication on the network, as long as certain rules are followed to avoid conflicts with other nodes during the Duplicate Address Detection process.

2007-04-25[NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_tEric Dumazet4-9/+11
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.

2007-03-25[IPV6]: Fix routing round-robin locking.David S. Miller2-38/+67
As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes reachable faster. Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked list of routes at each leaf. The round robin code executes during lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader. A small local spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all for two reasons: 1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with read lock held): walk routes finding head and tail spin_lock(); rotate list using head and tail spin_unlock(); While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed to corrupt the list when it gets the lock. This ends up causing the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting. 2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the lock in that way. So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking semantics. Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer. This way we don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer itself. We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when the entry it is pointing to is removed. The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
