  • …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.

  • Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic
    machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids
    such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to
    better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to
    WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be
    promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future.

    I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion.

  • The problem is that while we work w/o the inet_frags.lock even
    read-locked the secret rebuild timer may occur (on another CPU, since
    BHs are still disabled in the inet_frag_find) and change the rnd seed
    for ipv4/6 fragments.

    It was caused by my patch fd9e63544cac30a34c951f0ec958038f0529e244
    ([INET]: Omit double hash calculations in xxx_frag_intern) late
    in the 2.6.24 kernel, so this should probably be queued to -stable.

  • Since we now allocate the queues in inet_fragment.c, we
    can safely free it in the same place. The ->destructor
    callback thus becomes optional for inet_frags.

  • Since this callback is used to check for conflicts in
    hashtable when inserting a newly created frag queue, we can
    do the same by checking for matching the queue with the
    argument, used to create one.

  • Here we need another callback ->match to check whether the
    entry found in hash matches the key passed. The key used
    is the same as the creation argument for inet_frag_create.

    Yet again, this ->match is the same for netfilter and ipv6.
    Running a frew steps forward - this callback will later
    replace the ->equal one.

    Since the inet_frag_find() uses the already consolidated
    inet_frag_create() remove the xxx_frag_create from protocol
    codes.

  • This one uses the xxx_frag_intern() and xxx_frag_alloc()
    routines, which are already consolidated, so remove them
    from protocol code (as promised).

    The ->constructor callback is used to init the rest of
    the frag queue and it is the same for netfilter and ipv6.

  • Just perform the kzalloc() allocation and setup common
    fields in the inet_frag_queue(). Then return the result
    to the caller to initialize the rest.

    The inet_frag_alloc() may return NULL, so check the
    return value before doing the container_of(). This looks
    ugly, but the xxx_frag_alloc() will be removed soon.

    The xxx_expire() timer callbacks are patches,
    because the argument is now the inet_frag_queue, not
    the protocol specific queue.

  • This routine checks for the existence of a given entry
    in the hash table and inserts the new one if needed.

    The ->equal callback is used to compare two frag_queue-s
    together, but this one is temporary and will be removed
    later. The netfilter code and the ipv6 one use the same
    routine to compare frags.

    The inet_frag_intern() always returns non-NULL pointer,
    so convert the inet_frag_queue into protocol specific
    one (with the container_of) without any checks.

  • The evictors collect some statistics for ipv4 and ipv6,
    so make it return the number of evicted queues and account
    them all at once in the caller.

    The XXX_ADD_STATS_BH() macros are just for this case,
    but maybe there are places in code, that can make use of
    them as well.

  • To make in possible we need to know the exact frag queue
    size for inet_frags->mem management and two callbacks:

    * to destoy the skb (optional, used in conntracks only)
    * to free the queue itself (mandatory, but later I plan to
    move the allocation and the destruction of frag_queues
    into the common place, so this callback will most likely
    be optional too).

  • This code works with the generic data types as well, so
    move this into inet_fragment.c

    This move makes it possible to hide the secret_timer
    management and the secret_rebuild routine completely in
    the inet_fragment.c

    Introduce the ->hashfn() callback in inet_frags() to get
    the hashfun for a given inet_frag_queue() object.

  • Since now all the xxx_frag_kill functions now work
    with the generic inet_frag_queue data type, this can
    be moved into a common place.

    The xxx_unlink() code is moved as well.

  • There are some objects that are common in all the places
    which are used to keep track of frag queues, they are:

    * hash table
    * LRU list
    * rw lock
    * rnd number for hash function
    * the number of queues
    * the amount of memory occupied by queues
    * secret timer

    Move all this stuff into one structure (struct inet_frags)
    to make it possible use them uniformly in the future. Like
    with the previous patch this mostly consists of hunks like

    - write_lock(&ipfrag_lock);
    + write_lock(&ip4_frags.lock);

    To address the issue with exporting the number of queues and
    the amount of memory occupied by queues outside the .c file
    they are declared in, I introduce a couple of helpers.
