  • 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.

  • Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path
    because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being
    incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the
    problem.

    This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented
    each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers.

    (We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to
    send an answer would use another interface)

    netstat -s | grep IPReversePathFilter
    IPReversePathFilter: 21714

  • …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.

  • In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones
    for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch.

    Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first
    read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt
    to a separate cache line (only written by rx path)

    This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr,
    sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these
    fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes.

  • As transparent proxying looks up the socket early and assigns
    it to the skb for later processing, we must drop any existing
    socket ownership prior to that in order to distinguish between
    the case where tproxy is active and where it is not.

  • The IP MIB (RFC 4293) defines stats for InOctets, OutOctets, InMcastOctets and
    OutMcastOctets:
    http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4293
    But it seems we don't track those in any way that easy to separate from other
    protocols. This patch adds those missing counters to the stats file. Tested
    successfully by me

    With help from Eric Dumazet.

  • Failure to pass netns_ok check is SILENT, except some MIB counter is
    incremented somewhere.

    And adding "netns_ok = 1" (after long head-scratching session) is
    usually the last step in making some protocol netns-ready...

  • The raw sockets functions are explicitly used from
    inside the kernel in two places:

    1. in ip_local_deliver_finish to intercept skb-s
    2. in icmp_error

    For this purposes many functions and even data structures,
    that are naturally internal for raw protocol, are exported.

    Compact the API to two functions and hide all the other
    (including hash table and rwlock) inside the net/ipv4/raw.c

  • ip_rt_acct needs 4096 bytes per cpu to perform some accounting.
    It is actually allocated as a single huge array [4096*NR_CPUS]
    (rounded up to a power of two)

    Converting it to a per cpu variable is wanted to :
    - Save space on machines were num_possible_cpus() < NR_CPUS
    - Better NUMA placement (each cpu gets memory on its node)

  • The IPv4 and IPv6 hook values are identical, yet some code tries to figure
    out the "correct" value by looking at the address family. Introduce NF_INET_*
    values for both IPv4 and IPv6. The old values are kept in a #ifndef __KERNEL__
    section for userspace compatibility.

  • Now that we don't pass double skb pointers to nf_hook_slow anymore, gcc
    can generate tail calls for some of the netfilter hook okfn invocations,
    so there is no need to inline the functions anymore. This caused huge
    code bloat since we ended up with one inlined version and one out-of-line
    version since we pass the address to nf_hook_slow.

    Before:
    text data bss dec hex filename
    8997385 1016524 524652 10538561 a0ce41 vmlinux

    After:
    text data bss dec hex filename
    8994009 1016524 524652 10535185 a0c111 vmlinux
    -------------------------------------------------------
    -3376

    All cases have been verified to generate tail-calls with and without
    netfilter. The okfns in ipmr and xfrm4_input still remain inline because
    gcc can't generate tail-calls for them.
