  • 0744dd00c   net: introduce skb_flow_dissect() ... Browse Code »

    We use at least two flow dissectors in network stack, with known
    limitations and code duplication.

    Introduce skb_flow_dissect() to factorize this, highly inspired from
    existing dissector from __skb_get_rxhash()

    Note : We extensively use skb_header_pointer(), this permits us to not
    touch skb at all.

  • 5bc1421e3   net: add network priority cgroup infrastructure (v4) ... Browse Code »

    This patch adds in the infrastructure code to create the network priority
    cgroup. The cgroup, in addition to the standard processes file creates two
    control files:

    1) prioidx - This is a read-only file that exports the index of this cgroup.
    This is a value that is both arbitrary and unique to a cgroup in this subsystem,
    and is used to index the per-device priority map

    2) priomap - This is a writeable file. On read it reports a table of 2-tuples
    where name is the name of a network interface and priority is
    indicates the priority assigned to frames egresessing on the named interface and
    originating from a pid in this cgroup

    This cgroup allows for skb priority to be set prior to a root qdisc getting
    selected. This is benenficial for DCB enabled systems, in that it allows for any
    application to use dcb configured priorities so without application modification

  • 6e5714eaf   net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5. ... Browse Code »

    Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
    partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.

    MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
    other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)

    Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
    unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic
    regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and
    use a full 32-bit sequence number.

    For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
    number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

  • c1f19b51d   net: support time stamping in phy devices. ... Browse Code »

    This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps
    from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and
    outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible
    time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are
    deferred for later delivery by the driver.

    The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl
    and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may
    optionally implement these functions.

    Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list.

    +uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global"
    variant) instead of a function parameter.
    +removes dev_mcast.c completely.
    +exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for

  • c81c2d954   skbuff: remove skb_dma_map/unmap ... Browse Code »

    The two functions skb_dma_map/unmap are unsafe to use as they cause
    problems when packets are cloned and sent to multiple devices while a HW
    IOMMU is enabled. Due to this it is best to remove the code so it is not
    used by any other network driver maintainters.

  • 8b41d1887   [NET]: Fix running without sysfs ... Browse Code »

    When sysfs support is compiled out the kernel still keeps and maintains
    the kobject tree. So it is not safe to skip our kobject reference counting or
    to avoid becoming members of the kobject tree. It is safe to not add
    the networking specific sysfs attributes.

    This patch removes the sysfs special cases from net/core/dev.c
    renames functions from netdev_sysfs_xxxx to netdev_kobject_xxxx
    and always compiles in net-sysfs.c

    net-sysfs.c is modified with a CONFIG_SYSFS guard around the parts
    that are actually sysfs specific.

  • 5f256becd   [NET]: Basic network namespace infrastructure. ... Browse Code »

    This is the basic infrastructure needed to support network
    namespaces. This infrastructure is:
    - Registration functions to support initializing per network
    namespace data when a network namespaces is created or destroyed.

    - struct net. The network namespace data structure.
    This structure will grow as variables are made per network
    namespace but this is the minimal starting point.

    - Functions to grab a reference to the network namespace.
    I provide both get/put functions that keep a network namespace
    from being freed. And hold/release functions serve as weak references
    and will warn if their count is not zero when the data structure
    is freed. Useful for dealing with more complicated data structures
    like the ipv4 route cache.

    - A list of all of the network namespaces so we can iterate over them.

    - A slab for the network namespace data structure allowing leaks
    to be spotted.

  • 0e87506fc   [NET] Generalise tcp_listen_opt ... Browse Code »

    This chunks out the accept_queue and tcp_listen_opt code and moves
    them to net/core/request_sock.c and include/net/request_sock.h, to
    make it useful for other transport protocols, DCCP being the first one
    to use it.

    Next patches will rename tcp_listen_opt to accept_sock and remove the
    inline tcp functions that just call a reqsk_queue_ function.

    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!
