  • Its better to use a predefined size for this small automatic variable.

    Removes a sparse error as well :

    net/sched/cls_flow.c:288:13: error: bad constant expression

  • Instead of using a custom flow dissector, use skb_flow_dissect() and
    benefit from tunnelling support.

    This lack of tunnelling support was mentioned by Dan Siemon.

  • Dan Siemon would like to add tunnelling support to cls_flow

    This preliminary patch introduces use of skb_header_pointer() to help
    this task, while avoiding skb head reallocation because of deep packet
    inspection.

  • Fix dependencies of netfilter realm match: it depends on NET_CLS_ROUTE,
    which itself depends on NET_SCHED; this dependency is missing from netfilter.

    Since matching on realms is also useful without having NET_SCHED enabled and
    the option really only controls whether the tclassid member is included in
    route and dst entries, rename the config option to IP_ROUTE_CLASSID and move
    it outside of traffic scheduling context to get rid of the NET_SCHED dependeny.

  • 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; }'

  • …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.

  • Define three accessors to get/set dst attached to a skb

    struct dst_entry *skb_dst(const struct sk_buff *skb)

    void skb_dst_set(struct sk_buff *skb, struct dst_entry *dst)

    void skb_dst_drop(struct sk_buff *skb)
    This one should replace occurrences of :
    dst_release(skb->dst)
    skb->dst = NULL;

    Delete skb->dst field

  • Attach creds to file structs and discard f_uid/f_gid.

    file_operations::open() methods (such as hppfs_open()) should use file->f_cred
    rather than current_cred(). At the moment file->f_cred will be current_cred()
    at this point.

  • The 2.6 latest git build was broken when using the following
    configuration options:
    CONFIG_NET_EMATCH=n
    CONFIG_NET_CLS_FLOW=y

    with the following error:
    net/sched/cls_flow.c: In function 'flow_dump':
    net/sched/cls_flow.c:598: error: 'struct tcf_ematch_tree' has no
    member named 'hdr'
    make[2]: *** [net/sched/cls_flow.o] Error 1
    make[1]: *** [net/sched] Error 2
    make: *** [net] Error 2

    see the recent post by Li Zefan:
    http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg54434.html

    The reason for this crash is that struct tcf_ematch_tree
    (net/pkt_cls.h) is empty when CONFIG_NET_EMATCH is not defined.

    When CONFIG_NET_EMATCH is defined, the tcf_ematch_tree structure
    indeed holds a struct tcf_ematch_tree_hdr (hdr) as flow_dump()
    expects.

    This patch adds #ifdef CONFIG_NET_EMATCH in flow_dump to avoid this.

  • Add new "flow" classifier, which is meant to extend the SFQ hashing
    capabilities without hard-coding new hash functions and also allows
    deterministic mappings of keys to classes, replacing some out of tree
    iptables patches like IPCLASSIFY (maps IPs to classes), IPMARK (maps
    IPs to marks, with fw filters to classes), ...

    Some examples:

    - Classic SFQ hash:

    tc filter add ... flow hash \
    keys src,dst,proto,proto-src,proto-dst divisor 1024

    - Classic SFQ hash, but using information from conntrack to work properly in
    combination with NAT:

    tc filter add ... flow hash \
    keys nfct-src,nfct-dst,proto,nfct-proto-src,nfct-proto-dst divisor 1024

    - Map destination IPs of 192.168.0.0/24 to classids 1-257:

    tc filter add ... flow map \
    key dst addend -192.168.0.0 divisor 256

    - alternatively:

    tc filter add ... flow map \
    key dst and 0xff

    - similar, but reverse ordered:

    tc filter add ... flow map \
    key dst and 0xff xor 0xff

    Perturbation is currently not supported because we can't reliable kill the
    timer on destruction.
