  • Ok, this one just renames some stuff to have a better namespace and to
    dissassociate it from TCP:

    struct open_request -> struct request_sock
    tcp_openreq_alloc -> reqsk_alloc
    tcp_openreq_free -> reqsk_free
    tcp_openreq_fastfree -> __reqsk_free

    With this most of the infrastructure closely resembles a struct
    sock methods subset.

  • Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to
    ease peer review.

    Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
    has two new members:

    ->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
    ->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
    a specific protocol

    The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a
    class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
    oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
    in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
    open_request.

    I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
    hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
    open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
    or_calltable.

    Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
    open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)

    Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions
    mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it
    struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g,
    etc.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
