  • This patch removes from net/ (but not any netfilter files)
    all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the
    last closing brace of void functions.

    It does not remove the returns that are immediately
    preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

    Done via:
    $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
    xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

  • Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to
    be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family
    without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.

    This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
    as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
    without breaking compatibility.

    This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
    rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
    that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
    above that may be used arbitrarily.

  • fib_rules_register() duplicates the template passed to it without modification,
    mark the argument as const. Additionally the templates are only needed when
    instantiating a new namespace, so mark them as __net_initdata, which means
    they can be discarded when CONFIG_NET_NS=n.

  • Define a new function to return the waitqueue of a "struct sock".

    static inline wait_queue_head_t *sk_sleep(struct sock *sk)
    {
    return sk->sk_sleep;
    }

    Change all read occurrences of sk_sleep by a call to this function.

    Needed for a future RCU conversion. sk_sleep wont be a field directly
    available.

  • With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
    work.

    sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)

    This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
    entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
    again :)

    This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.

    __sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
    socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
    condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))

    This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
    for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Update rcu_dereference() primitives to use new lockdep-based
    checking. The rcu_dereference() in __in6_dev_get() may be
    protected either by rcu_read_lock() or RTNL, per Eric Dumazet.
    The rcu_dereference() in __sk_free() is protected by the fact
    that it is never reached if an update could change it. Check
    for this by using rcu_dereference_check() to verify that the
    struct sock's ->sk_wmem_alloc counter is zero.

  • Refactor the code so fib_rules_register always takes a template instead
    of the actual fib_rules_ops structure that will be used. This is
    required for network namespace support so 2 out of the 3 callers already
    do this, it allows the error handling to be made common, and it allows
    fib_rules_unregister to free the template for hte caller.

    Modify fib_rules_unregister to use call_rcu instead of syncrhonize_rcu
    to allw multiple namespaces to be cleaned up in the same rcu grace
    period.

  • Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
    pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
    of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage
    should instead be used as a basis here.

    Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory)
    should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).
