  • …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.

  • I was notified by Randy Stewart that lksctp claims to be
    "the reference implementation". First of all, "the
    refrence implementation" was the original implementation
    of SCTP in usersapce written ty Randy and a few others.
    Second, after looking at the definiton of 'reference implementation',
    we don't really meet the requirements.

  • There is a possible race condition where the timer code will
    free the association and the next packet in the queue will also
    attempt to free the same association.

    The example is, when we receive an ABORT at about the same time
    as the retransmission timer fires. If the timer wins the race,
    it will free the association. Once it releases the lock, the
    queue processing will recieve the ABORT and will try to free
    the association again.

  • So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
    on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
    layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
    64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
    :-)

    Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
    mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
    meaningful as offsets or pointers.

  • This patch adds more statistics info under /proc/net/sctp/snmp
    that should be useful for debugging. The additional events that
    are counted now include timer expirations, retransmits, packet
    and data chunk discards.

    The Data chunk discards include all the cases where a data chunk
    is discarded including high tsn, bad stream, dup tsn and the most
    useful one(out of receive buffer/rwnd).

    Also moved the SCTP MIB data structures from the generic include
    directories to include/sctp/sctp.h.

  • This patch fixes a deadlock situation in the receive path by allowing
    temporary spillover of the receive buffer.

    - If the chunk we receive has a tsn that immediately follows the ctsn,
    accept it even if we run out of receive buffer space and renege data with
    higher TSNs.
    - Once we accept one chunk in a packet, accept all the remaining chunks
    even if we run out of receive buffer space.

  • 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!
