Reduce the number of dst_get_neighbour_noref() calls within a single call chain. Primarily by passing the neighbour pointer down to the helper functions. Handle dst_get_neighbour_noref() returning NULL in ipoib_start_xmit() by incrementing the dropped counter and freeing the packet. We don't want it to fall through into the ARP/RARP/multicast handling, since that should only happen when skb_dst() is NULL. Signed-off-by: David S.

This way we consolidate the RCU locking down into the place where it actually matters, and also we can make the code handle dst_get_neighbour_noref() returning NULL properly. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

IPV4 should do exactly what the IPV6 code does here, which is use the neighbour obtained via the dst entry. And now that the two code paths do the same thing, use a common helper function to perform the operation. Signed-off-by: David S.

If our TCP_PAGE(sk) is not shared (page_count() == 1), we can set page offset to 0. This permits better filling of the pages on small to medium tcp writes.

We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a malicious peer acknowledged sub MSS frame. This currently can happen only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp builds headless skbs (all payload is included in fragments), so the tcp trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay aligned. Some arches cant handle misalignments, so force a head reallocation and shrink headroom to MAX_TCP_HEADER. Dont care about misaligments on x86 and PPC (or other arches setting NET_IP_ALIGN to 0) This patch introduces __pskb_copy() which can specify the headroom of new head, and pskb_copy() becomes a wrapper on top of __pskb_copy() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and translate it into packet processing rules. See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace utilities. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

While parsing through IPv6 extension headers, fragment headers are skipped making them invisible to the caller. This reports the fragment offset of the last header in order to make it possible to determine whether the packet is fragmented and, if so whether it is a first or last fragment.

RED is useful for high throughput routers, I doubt many linux machines act as such devices. I was considering adding Adaptative RED (Sally Floyd, Ramakrishna Gummadi, Scott Shender), August 2001 In this version, maxp is dynamic (from 1% to 50%), and user only have to setup min_th (target average queue size) (max_th and wq (burst in linux RED) are automatically setup) By the way it seems we have a small bug in red_change() if (skb_queue_empty(&sch->q)) red_end_of_idle_period(&q->parms); First, if queue is empty, we should call red_start_of_idle_period(&q->parms); Second, since we dont use anymore sch->q, but q->qdisc, the test is meaningless. Oh well... [PATCH] sch_red: fix red_change() Now RED is classful, we must check q->qdisc->q.qlen, and if queue is empty, we start an idle period, not end it.

The dqc_bitmap field of struct ocfs2_local_disk_chunk is 32-bit aligned, but not 64-bit aligned. The dqc_bitmap is accessed by ocfs2_set_bit(), ocfs2_clear_bit(), ocfs2_test_bit(), or ocfs2_find_next_zero_bit(). These are wrapper macros for ext2_*_bit() which need to take an unsigned long aligned address (though some architectures are able to handle unaligned address correctly) So some 64bit architectures may not be able to access the dqc_bitmap correctly. This avoids such unaligned access by using another wrapper functions for ext2_*_bit(). The code is taken from fs/ext4/mballoc.c which also need to handle unaligned bitmap access.
