[SOCK]: Adds a rcu_dereference() in sk_filter

2008-01-09T07:41:28Z

It seems commit fda9ef5d679b07c9d9097aaf6ef7f069d794a8f9 introduced a RCU protection for sk_filter(), without a rcu_dereference() Either we need a rcu_dereference(), either a comment should explain why we dont need it. I vote for the former. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[TCP]: Fix TCP header misalignment

2007-11-19T02:48:08Z

Indeed my previous change to alloc_pskb has made it possible for the TCP header to be misaligned iff the MTU is not a multiple of 4 (and less than a page). So I suspect the optimised IPsec MTU calculation is giving you just such an MTU :) This patch fixes it by changing alloc_pskb to make sure that the size is at least 32-bit aligned. This does not cause the problem fixed by the previous patch because max_header is always 32-bit aligned which means that in the SG/NOTSO case this will be a no-op. I thought about putting this in the callers but all the current callers are from TCP. If and when we get a non-TCP caller we can always create a TCP wrapper for this function and move the alignment over there. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[TCP]: Fix size calculation in sk_stream_alloc_pskb

2007-11-14T23:45:21Z

We round up the header size in sk_stream_alloc_pskb so that TSO packets get zero tail room. Unfortunately this rounding up is not coordinated with the select_size() function used by TCP to calculate the second parameter of sk_stream_alloc_pskb. As a result, we may allocate more than a page of data in the non-TSO case when exactly one page is desired. In fact, rounding up the head room is detrimental in the non-TSO case because it makes memory that would otherwise be available to the payload head room. TSO doesn't need this either, all it wants is the guarantee that there is no tail room. So this patch fixes this by adjusting the skb_reserve call so that exactly the requested amount (which all callers have calculated in a precise way) is made available as tail room.

[NET]: Define infrastructure to keep 'inuse' changes in an efficent SMP/NUMA way.

2007-11-07T12:08:57Z

"struct proto" currently uses an array stats[NR_CPUS] to track change on 'inuse' sockets per protocol. If NR_CPUS is big, this means we use a big memory area for this. Moreover, all this memory area is located on a single node on NUMA machines, increasing memory pressure on the boot node. In this patch, I tried to : - Keep a fast !CONFIG_SMP implementation - Keep a fast CONFIG_SMP implementation for often used protocols (tcp,udp,raw,...) - Introduce a NUMA efficient implementation Some helper macros are defined in include/net/sock.h These macros take into account CONFIG_SMP If a "struct proto" is declared without using DEFINE_PROTO_INUSE / REF_PROTO_INUSE macros, it will automatically use a default implementation, using a dynamically allocated percpu zone. This default implementation will be NUMA efficient, but might use 32/64 bytes per possible cpu because of current alloc_percpu() implementation. However it still should be better than previous implementation based on stats[NR_CPUS] field. When a "struct proto" is changed to use the new macros, we use a single static "int" percpu variable, lowering the memory and cpu costs, still preserving NUMA efficiency.

[NET]: Forget the zero_it argument of sk_alloc()

2007-11-01T07:39:31Z

Finally, the zero_it argument can be completely removed from the callers and from the function prototype. Besides, fix the checkpatch.pl warnings about using the assignments inside if-s. This patch is rather big, and it is a part of the previous one. I splitted it wishing to make the patches more readable. Hope this particular split helped.

[NET]: Move the sock_copy() from the header

2007-11-01T07:29:45Z

The sock_copy() call is not used outside the sock.c file, so just move it into a sock.c Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Fix the race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and sk_clone()

2007-10-18T04:22:42Z

The proposed fix is to delay the reference counter decrement until the quiescent state pass. This will give sk_clone() a chance to get the reference on the cloned filter. Regular sk_filter_uncharge can happen from the sk_free() only and there's no need in delaying the put - the socket is dead anyway and is to be release itself.

[NET]: Move the filter releasing into a separate call

2007-10-18T04:21:51Z

This is done merely as a preparation for the fix. The sk_filter_uncharge() unaccounts the filter memory and calls the sk_filter_release(), which in turn decrements the refcount anf frees the filter. The latter function will be required separately. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: sparse warning fixes

2007-10-10T23:54:48Z

Fix a bunch of sparse warnings. Mostly about 0 used as NULL pointer, and shadowed variable declarations. One notable case was that hash size should have been unsigned. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.

2007-10-10T23:49:07Z

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace. Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe. Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the exotic protocols are supported. Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.
