  • module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
    fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
    trick.

    It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
    it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

    (Thanks to Joe Perches for suggesting coccinelle for 0/1 -> true/false).

  • …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.

  • This patch simplifies the conntrack event caching system by removing
    several events:

    * IPCT_[*]_VOLATILE, IPCT_HELPINFO and IPCT_NATINFO has been deleted
    since the have no clients.
    * IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING which is a leftover of the 32-bits counter
    days.
    * IPCT_REFRESH which is not of any use since we always include the
    timeout in the messages.

    After this patch, the existing events are:

    * IPCT_NEW, IPCT_RELATED and IPCT_DESTROY, that are used to identify
    addition and deletion of entries.
    * IPCT_STATUS, that notes that the status bits have changes,
    eg. IPS_SEEN_REPLY and IPS_ASSURED.
    * IPCT_PROTOINFO, that reports that internal protocol information has
    changed, eg. the TCP, DCCP and SCTP protocol state.
    * IPCT_HELPER, that a helper has been assigned or unassigned to this
    entry.
    * IPCT_MARK and IPCT_SECMARK, that reports that the mark has changed, this
    covers the case when a mark is set to zero.
    * IPCT_NATSEQADJ, to report that there's updates in the NAT sequence
    adjustment.

  • Introduce expectation classes and policies. An expectation class
    is used to distinguish different types of expectations by the
    same helper (for example audio/video/t.120). The expectation
    policy is used to hold the maximum number of expectations and
    the initial timeout for each class.

    The individual classes are isolated from each other, which means
    that for example an audio expectation will only evict other audio
    expectations.

  • A few netfilter modules provide their own union of IPv4 and IPv6
    address storage. Will unify that in this patch series.

    (1/4): Rename union nf_conntrack_address to union nf_inet_addr and
    move it to x_tables.h.

  • When the packet size is changed by the FTP NAT helper, the connection
    tracking helper adjusts the sequence number of the newline character
    by the size difference. This is wrong because NAT sequence number
    adjustment happens after helpers are called, so the unadjusted number
    is compared to the already adjusted one.

  • When trying to locate the oldest entry in the history of newline character
    sequence numbers, the sequence number of the current entry is incorrectly
    compared with the index of the oldest sequence number instead of the number
    itself.

    Additionally it is not made sure that the current sequence number really
    is after the oldest known one.
