[NETFILTER]: x_tables: add TRACE target

2007-07-11T05:17:14Z

The TRACE target can be used to follow IP and IPv6 packets through the ruleset. Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik Signed-off-by: Patrick NcHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: IPV6 checksum offloading in network devices

2007-07-11T05:15:52Z

The existing model for checksum offload does not correctly handle devices that can offload IPV4 and IPV6 only. The NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag implies device can do any arbitrary protocol. This patch: * adds NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM for those devices * fixes bnx2 and tg3 devices that need it * add NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM to ipv6 output (incl GSO) * fixes assumptions about NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM in nat * adjusts bridge union of checksumming computation Signed-off-by: David S.

[TCP]: Honour sk_bound_dev_if in tcp_v4_send_ack

2007-06-07T20:38:51Z

A time_wait socket inherits sk_bound_dev_if from the original socket, but it is not used when sending ACK packets using ip_send_reply. Fix by passing the oif to ip_send_reply in struct ip_reply_arg and use it for output routing. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV4] SNMP: Support OutMcastPkts and OutBcastPkts

2007-04-30T07:58:32Z

A transmitted IP multicast datagram should be counted as OutMcastPkts. By the same token, a transmitted IP broadcast datagram should be counted as OutBcastPkts. Signed-off-by: Mitsuru Chinen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[INET]: Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_RPOBE

2007-04-26T05:29:10Z

Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_PROBE value for IP(V6)_MTU_DISCOVER. This option forces us not to fragment, but does not make use of the kernel path MTU discovery. That is, it allows for user-mode MTU probing (or, packetization-layer path MTU discovery). This is particularly useful for diagnostic utilities, like traceroute/tracepath.

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_from_linear_data{_offset}

2007-04-26T05:28:23Z

To clearly state the intent of copying from linear sk_buffs, _offset being a overly long variant but interesting for the sake of saving some bytes. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

[SK_BUFF]: unions of just one member don't get anything done, kill them

2007-04-26T05:26:20Z

Renaming skb->h to skb->transport_header, skb->nh to skb->network_header and skb->mac to skb->mac_header, to match the names of the associated helpers (skb[_[re]set]_{transport,network,mac}_header). Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_network_header_len

2007-04-26T05:26:19Z

For the common sequence "skb->h.raw - skb->nh.raw", similar to skb->mac_len, that is precalculated tho, don't think we need to bloat skb with one more member, so just use this new helper, reducing the number of non-skbuff.h references to the layer headers even more.

[SK_BUFF]: Use the helpers to get the layer header pointer
