Every 600 seconds (ip_rt_secret_interval), a softirq flush of the whole ip route cache is triggered. On loaded machines, this can starve softirq for many seconds and can eventually crash. This patch moves this flush to a workqueue context, using the worker we intoduced in commit 39c90ece (IPV4: Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue.) Also, immediate flushes (echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush) are using rt_do_flush() helper function, wich take attention to rescheduling. Next step will be to handle delayed flushes ("echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush" or "ip route flush cache") Signed-off-by:

Both ipv6/raw.c and ipv4/raw.c use the seq files to walk through the raw sockets hash and show them. The "walking" code is rather huge, but is identical in both cases. The difference is the hash table to walk over and the protocol family to check (this was not in the first virsion of the patch, which was noticed by YOSHIFUJI) Make the ->open store the needed hash table and the family on the allocated raw_iter_state and make the start/next/stop callbacks work with it. This removes most of the code. Signed-off-by:

The ipv4/raw.c and ipv6/raw.c contain many common code (most of which is proc interface) which can be consolidated. Most of the places to consolidate deal with the raw sockets hashtable, so introduce a struct raw_hashinfo which describes the raw sockets hash. Signed-off-by:

Same as in the previous patch for ipv4, compact the API and hide hash table and rwlock inside the raw.c file. Plus fix some "bad" places from checkpatch.pl point of view (assignments inside if()). Signed-off-by:

Pavel Emelyanov authored
The raw sockets functions are explicitly used from inside the kernel in two places: 1. in ip_local_deliver_finish to intercept skb-s 2. in icmp_error For this purposes many functions and even data structures, that are naturally internal for raw protocol, are exported. Compact the API to two functions and hide all the other (including hash table and rwlock) inside the net/ipv4/raw.c Signed-off-by:

Because of the global nature of garbage collection, and because of the cost of per namespace hash tables unix_socket_table has been kept global. With a filter added on lookups so we don't see sockets from the wrong namespace. Currently I don't fold the namesapce into the hash so multiple namespaces using the same socket name will be guaranteed a hash collision. Changes from v1: - fixed unix_seq_open Signed-off-by:

This is done by making packet_sklist_lock and packet_sklist per network namespace and adding an additional filter condition on received packets to ensure they came from the proper network namespace. Changes from v1: - prohibit to call inet_dgram_ops.ioctl in other than init_net Signed-off-by:

After the previous prep work this just consists of removing checks limiting the code to work in the initial network namespace, and updating rtmsg_ifinfo so we can generate events for devices in something other then the initial network namespace. Referring to network other network devices like the IFLA_LINK and IFLA_MASTER attributes do, gets interesting if those network devices happen to be in other network namespaces. Currently ifindex numbers are allocated globally so I have taken the path of least resistance and not still report the information even though the devices they are talking about are invisible. If applications start getting confused or when ifindex numbers become local to the network namespace we may need to do something different in the future. Signed-off-by:

After this patch none of the netlink callback support anything except the initial network namespace but the rtnetlink infrastructure now handles multiple network namespaces. Changes from v2: - IPv6 addrlabel processing Changes from v1: - no need for special rtnl_unlock handling - fixed IPv6 ndisc Signed-off-by:

Before I can enable rtnetlink to work in all network namespaces I need to be certain that something won't break. So this patch deliberately disables all of the rtnletlink methods in everything except the initial network namespace. After the methods have been audited this extra check can be disabled. Changes from v1: - added IPv6 addrlabel protection Signed-off-by:

With this patch the synced connections are created with their real state, which can be changed on the next synchronizations if necessary. This way on fail-over all the connections will be treated according to their actual state, causing no scheduling problems (the active and the nonactive connections have different weights in the schedulers). The backwards compatibility is preserved and the existing tools will show the true connection states even on the backup director. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds IEEE80211_MAX_FRAME_LEN which is useful for drivers trying to determine how much to allocate for their RX buffers. It also updates the comment on IEEE80211_MAX_DATA_LEN based on revisions in 802.11e. IEEE80211_MAX_FRAG_THRESHOLD and IEEE80211_MAX_RTS_THRESHOLD are also revised due to the new maximum frame size.

This changes the SIWTXPOWER ioctl to also accept a txpower setting of "automatic". Since mac80211 currently cannot tell drivers to automatically adjust tx power, we select the tx power level of the current channel. While this is kind of a hack, it certainly saves some iwconfig users from headaches. Signed-off-by:

Previously one of the in-block skip branches was missing it. Also, drop it from tail-fully-processed case because the next iteration will do exactly the same thing, i.e., process the SACK block that contains the DSACK information. Signed-off-by:

ip_rt_acct needs 4096 bytes per cpu to perform some accounting. It is actually allocated as a single huge array [4096*NR_CPUS] (rounded up to a power of two) Converting it to a per cpu variable is wanted to : - Save space on machines were num_possible_cpus() < NR_CPUS - Better NUMA placement (each cpu gets memory on its node) Signed-off-by:

Key points of this patch are: - In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb processing below previously discovered highest point is done - Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's significant, I'm not too sure. Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window size (can be done incrementally later). Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache, most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of costly cache misses on the way, etc.! Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff, fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as a replacement. Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath", though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache friendly. The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath "special case". DSACKs are special case that must always be walked. The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that is left to a separate patch. Signed-off-by: -
