2008-11-16udp: Use hlist_nulls in UDP RCU codeEric Dumazet2-37/+36
This is a straightforward patch, using hlist_nulls infrastructure. RCUification already done on UDP two weeks ago. Using hlist_nulls permits us to avoid some memory barriers, both at lookup time and delete time. Patch is large because it adds new macros to include/net/sock.h. These macros will be used by TCP & DCCP in next patch. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-11-16TPROXY: implemented IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR socket optionBalazs Scheidler1-1/+39
In case UDP traffic is redirected to a local UDP socket, the originally addressed destination address/port cannot be recovered with the in-kernel tproxy. This patch adds an IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR sockopt that enables a IP_ORIGDSTADDR ancillary message in recvmsg(). This ancillary message contains the original destination address/port of the packet being received. Signed-off-by: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@balabit.hu> Signed-off-by: David S.

The attached patch makes it work much better for me. The patch will cause the code to NOT create a stale neighbor entry if we are not going to respond to the ARP request.

2008-11-12netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-4Wang Chen9-30/+32
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv: 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv(). 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv. But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it directly. This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev). Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read. But it is too big to be sent in one mail. I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes, which is max size allowed by vger.

2008-11-12dccp: Resolve dependencies of features on choice of CCIDGerrit Renker4-0/+168
This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of). For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows: * since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection; * a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4); * for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment in the source code. An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature, since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option, as it is used by the CCID3 code. Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID. The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has made all other registrations for changing default values of features. The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0' is used to mark the end of the table.

2008-11-12dccp: Query supported CCIDsGerrit Renker4-0/+59
This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported and three accessor functions: - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests made by the user; - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation; - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities. The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices). Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

Two registration routines, for SP and NN features, are provided by this patch, replacing a previous routine which was used for both feature types. These are internal-only routines and therefore start with `__feat_register'. It further exports the known limits of Sequence Window and Ack Ratio as symbolic constants.

2008-11-12dccp: Limit feature negotiation to connection setup phaseGerrit Renker3-41/+8
This patch limits feature (capability) negotation to the connection setup phase: 1. Although it is theoretically possible to perform feature negotiation at any time (and RFC 4340 supports this), in practice this is prohibitively complex, as it requires to put traffic on hold for each new negotiation. 2. As a byproduct of restricting feature negotiation to connection setup, the feature-negotiation retransmit timer is no longer required. This part is now mapped onto the protocol-level retransmission. Details indicating why timers are no longer needed can be found on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\ implementation_notes.html This patch disables anytime negotiation, subsequent patches work out full feature negotiation support for connection setup.

2008-11-10dsa: fix master interface allmulti/promisc handlingLennert Buytenhek1-2/+70
Before commit b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7 ("net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP"), the dsa driver could sort-of get away with only fiddling with the master interface's allmulti/promisc counts in ->change_rx_flags() and not touching them in ->open() or ->stop(). After this commit (note that it was merged almost simultaneously with the dsa patches, which is why this wasn't caught initially), the breakage that was already there became more apparent. Since it makes no sense to keep the master interface's allmulti or promisc count pinned for a slave interface that is down, copy the vlan driver's sync logic (which does exactly what we want) over to dsa to fix this.

2008-11-09net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collectorMiklos Szeredi2-19/+61
Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file descriptors referring to it. This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the "inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs < inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run. Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

The classifier should cover the most common use case and will work without any special configuration. The principle of the classifier is to directly access the task_struct via get_current(). In order for this to work, classification requests from softirqs must be ignored. This is not a problem because the vast majority of packets in softirq context are not assigned to a task anyway. For this to work, a mechanism is needed to trace softirq context.

In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the loopback device is present. Things like sending igmp unsubscribe messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present. Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the loopback device directly from net_dev_init(). This guarantes that the loopback device is the first device registered and the last network device to go away. But do it carefully so we register the loopback device after we clear dev_boot_phase.

We need to setup the network namespace state before we register the notifier. Otherwise if a network device is already registered we get a nasty NULL pointer dereference. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@maxwell.aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
