  • 2e6599cb8   [NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructure ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 4dc3b16ba   [PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentation ... Browse Code »

    I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
    university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
    sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
    have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
    time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
    compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
    some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
    So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
    not too much skewed.

    I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
    by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
    comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
    not bail out on errors. Changed to @pid in the description, moved some
    #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.

    You can see result of the modified documentation build at
    http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

    Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
    documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
    section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
    cleanup work.

  • b453257f0   [PATCH] kill gratitious includes of major.h under net/* ... Browse Code »

    A lot of places in there are including major.h for no reason whatsoever.
    Removed. And yes, it still builds.

    The history of that stuff is often amusing. E.g. for net/core/sock.c
    the story looks so, as far as I've been able to reconstruct it: we used
    to need major.h in net/socket.c circa 1.1.early. In 1.1.13 that need
    had disappeared, along with register_chrdev(SOCKET_MAJOR, "socket",
    &net_fops) in sock_init(). Include had not. When 1.2 -> 1.3 reorg of
    net/* had moved a lot of stuff from net/socket.c to net/core/sock.c,
    this crap had followed...

    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!
