This patch makes MIPv6 loadable module named "mip6".
Here is a modprobe.conf(5) example to load it automatically
when user application uses XFRM state for MIPv6:alias xfrm-type-10-43 mip6
alias xfrm-type-10-60 mip6Some MIPv6 feature is not included by this modular, however,
it should not be affected to other features like either IPsec
or IPv6 with and without the patch.
We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt
separately for future work.Loadable features:
* MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back)
* RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS)
* XFRM policy/state database handling for ROThese are NOT covered as loadable:
* Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection
* XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option)
* XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header
* MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application
opens it (since raw socket allows to do so)
* RH2 sending as ancillary data
* RH2 operation with setsockopt(2)Signed-off-by: Masahide NAKAMURA

This patch moves the non-proc SNMP code into addrconf.c and reuses
IPv4 SNMP code where applicable.As a result we can skip proc.o if /proc is disabled.
Note that I've made a number of functions static since they're only
used by addrconf.c for now. If they ever get used elsewhere we can
always remove the static.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch for adjust inet6_exit() to inverse sequence to inet6_init().
At ipv6_init, it first create proc_root/net/dev_snmp6 entry by call
ipv6_misc_proc_init(), then call addrconf_init() to create the corresponding
device entry at this directory, but at inet6_exit, ipv6_misc_proc_exit()

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).Signed-off-by: Tim Schmielau

The inet_create() and inet6_create() functions incorrectly set the
inet_sock->is_icsk field. Both functions assume that the is_icsk field is
large enough to hold at least a INET_PROTOSW_ICSK value when it is actually
only a single bit. This patch corrects the assignment by doing a boolean
comparison whose result will safely fit into a single bit field.Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

The patch (as824b) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one would
expect for a deallocation routine. (Note that free_percpu is #defined as
percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.) A few callers are updated to remove
now-unneeded tests for NULL. A few other callers already seem to assume
that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay!The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().

This is a revision of the previously submitted patch, which alters
the way files are organized and compiled in the following manner:* UDP and UDP-Lite now use separate object files
* source file dependencies resolved via header files
net/ipv{4,6}/udp_impl.h
* order of inclusion files in udp.c/udplite.c adapted
accordingly[NET/IPv4]: Support for the UDP-Lite protocol (RFC 3828)
This patch adds support for UDP-Lite to the IPv4 stack, provided as an
extension to the existing UDPv4 code:
* generic routines are all located in net/ipv4/udp.c
* UDP-Lite specific routines are in net/ipv4/udplite.c
* MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/udplite
* shared API with extensions for partial checksum coverage[NET/IPv6]: Extension for UDP-Lite over IPv6
It extends the existing UDPv6 code base with support for UDP-Lite
in the same manner as per UDPv4. In particular,
* UDPv6 generic and shared code is in net/ipv6/udp.c
* UDP-Litev6 specific extensions are in net/ipv6/udplite.c
* MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp6 and /proc/net/udplite6
* support for IPV6_ADDRFORM
* aligned the coding style of protocol initialisation with af_inet6.c
* made the error handling in udpv6_queue_rcv_skb consistent;
to return `-1' on error on all error cases
* consolidation of shared code[NET]: UDP-Lite Documentation and basic XFRM/Netfilter support
The UDP-Lite patch further provides
* API documentation for UDP-Lite
* basic xfrm support
* basic netfilter support for IPv4 and IPv6 (LOG target)Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker

The current users of ip6_dst_lookup can be divided into two classes:
1) The caller holds no locks and is in user-context (UDP).
2) The caller does not want to lookup the dst cache at all.The second class covers everyone except UDP because most people do
the cache lookup directly before calling ip6_dst_lookup. This patch
adds ip6_sk_dst_lookup for the first class.Similarly ip6_dst_store users can be divded into those that need to
take the socket dst lock and those that don't. This patch adds
__ip6_dst_store for those (everyone except UDP/datagram) that don't
need an extra lock.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

[TCP]: Reset gso_segs if packet is dodgy -
This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch
by Ananda Raju . His original description is:This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks
restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from
"dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction.This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used
to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO
over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the
TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6
will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO.In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get
cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't
get TSO packets created by TCP layer.SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet.
SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature.
UFO is supported over IPv6 alsoThe following table shows there is significant improvement in
throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo.--------------------------------------------------

softirq context. Since inet6_destroy_sock may be called from that
context due to the asynchronous nature of sockets, we can't take the
lock there.In fact this sk_dst_reset is totally redundant since all IPv6 sockets
use inet_sock_destruct as their socket destructor which always cleans
up the dst anyway. So the solution is to simply remove the call.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

As DCCP needs to be called in the same spots.
Now we have a member in inet_sock (is_icsk), set at sock creation time from
struct inet_protosw->flags (if INET_PROTOSW_ICSK is set, like for TCP and
DCCP) to see if a struct sock instance is a inet_connection_sock for places
like the ones in ip_sockglue.c (v4 and v6) where we previously were looking if
sk_type was SOCK_STREAM, that is insufficient because we now use the same code
for DCCP, that has sk_type SOCK_DCCP.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
