What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce the number of system calls involved in virtio networking. Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification. There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope - uses eventfd for signalling - structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for migration, bug work-arounds in userspace) - write logging is supported (good for migration) - support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm) common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself. What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls. Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm. How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac etc. Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes. Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to 4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU utilization. Features that I plan to look at in the future: - mergeable buffers - zero copy - scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU): what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

Tun device looks similar to a packet socket in that both pass complete frames from/to userspace. This patch fills in enough fields in the socket underlying tun driver to support sendmsg/recvmsg operations, and message flags MSG_TRUNC and MSG_DONTWAIT, and exports access to this socket to modules. Regular read/write behaviour is unchanged. This way, code using raw sockets to inject packets into a physical device, can support injecting packets into host network stack almost without modification. First user of this interface will be vhost virtualization accelerator. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Acked-by: David S.

As noticed by H Hartley Sweeten, since change_nexthops() uses 'nh' as it's iterator variable, it can conflict with other existing local vars. Use "nexthop_nh" to avoid the conflict and make it easier to figure out where this magic variable comes from. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

H Hartley Sweeten authored
In sock_getsockopt the symbol 'lv' is declared as an unsigned int type, probably due to sizeof returning a size_t which is really an unsigned int. This produces a sparse warning for SO_PEERNAME due to the sock->ops->getname() call: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different signedness) expected int *sockaddr_len got unsigned int *<noident> Quiet the warning by changing the type of 'lv' to an int.

If a qeth device is set online, several initialisation steps are performed. If a failure in one of these steps occurs, the qeth device is reset into DOWN state. If due to the failure a qeth recovery is scheduled and started in another thread, this might cause all kinds of conflicts, even a kernel panic. The patch forbids scheduling of a qeth recovery while online processing is performed till the card is in state SOFTSETUP.

Similar to 82571/2/3 parts that already do this, if ESB2/80003es2lan parts have an alternate MAC address provided in the EEPROM use it instead of the default MAC address.

This patch adds the kernel portions needed to implement RFC 5082 Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM). It is a lightweight security measure against forged packets causing DoS attacks (for BGP). This is already implemented the same way in BSD kernels. For the necessary Quagga patch http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/quagga/dev/17389 Description from Cisco http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gt_btsh.html It does add one byte to each socket structure, but I did a little rearrangement to reuse a hole (on 64 bit), but it does grow the structure on 32 bit This should be documented on ip(4) man page and the Glibc in.h file also needs update. IPV6_MINHOPLIMIT should also be added (although BSD doesn't support that). Only TCP is supported, but could also be added to UDP, DCCP, SCTP if desired.
