ipv4: Add a missing rcu_assign_pointer() in routing cache.

2008-10-16T21:18:29Z

rt_intern_hash() is doing an update of a RCU guarded hash chain without using rcu_assign_pointer() or equivalent barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl: simplify ->strategy

2008-10-16T18:21:47Z

name and nlen parameters passed to ->strategy hook are unused, remove them. In general ->strategy hook should know what it's doing, and don't do something tricky for which, say, pointer to original userspace array may be needed (name).

ipv4: Loosen source address check on IPv4 output

2008-10-01T14:28:28Z

ip_route_output() contains a check to make sure that no flows with non-local source IP addresses are routed. This obviously makes using such addresses impossible. This patch introduces a flowi flag which makes omitting this check possible. The new flag provides a way of handling transparent and non-transparent connections differently.

ip: speedup /proc/net/rt_cache handling

2008-08-28T08:11:25Z

When scanning route cache hash table, we can avoid taking locks for empty buckets. Both /proc/net/rt_cache and NETLINK RTM_GETROUTE interface are taken into account. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Disable route secret interval on zero interval

2008-08-15T20:44:31Z

Let me first state that disabling the route cache hash rebuild should not be done without extensive analysis on the risk profile and careful deliberation. However, there are times when this can be done safely or for testing. For example, when you have mechanisms for ensuring that offending parties do not exist in your network. This patch lets the user disable the rebuild if the interval is set to zero. This also incidentally fixes a divide-by-zero error with name-spaces. In addition, this patch makes the effect of an interval change immediate rather than it taking effect at the next rebuild as is currently the case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
