ipv4: route non-local sources for raw socket

2011-08-08T05:52:32+00:00

The raw sockets can provide source address for
routing but their privileges are not considered. We
can provide non-local source address, make sure the
FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC flag is set if socket has privileges
for this, i.e. based on hdrincl (IP_HDRINCL) and
transparent flags.

inet: Decrease overhead of on-stack inet_cork.

2011-05-06T22:37:57+00:00

When we fast path datagram sends to avoid locking by putting
the inet_cork on the stack we use up lots of space that isn't
necessary.

This is because inet_cork contains a "struct flowi" which isn't
used in these code paths.

Split inet_cork to two parts, "inet_cork" and "inet_cork_full".
Only the latter of which has the "struct flowi" and is what is
stored in inet_sock.

inet: add RCU protection to inet->opt

2011-04-28T20:16:35+00:00

We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options

Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and
ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options),
without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt.

Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us.

Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt).

Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when
necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying.

We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in
skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new
ip_options_rcu structure.

inet: Remove explicit write references to sk/inet in ip_append_data

2011-03-01T20:35:02+00:00

In order to allow simultaneous calls to ip_append_data on the same
socket, it must not modify any shared state in sk or inet (other
than those that are designed to allow that such as atomic counters).

This patch abstracts out write references to sk and inet_sk in
ip_append_data and its friends so that we may use the underlying
code in parallel.

net: Pre-COW metrics for TCP.

2011-01-28T06:01:53+00:00

TCP is going to record metrics for the connection,
so pre-COW the route metrics at route cache entry
creation time.

This avoids several atomic operations that have to
occur if we COW the metrics after the entry reaches
global visibility.

net: optimize INET input path further

2010-12-10T04:05:58+00:00

Followup of commit b178bb3dfc30 (net: reorder struct sock fields)

Optimize INET input path a bit further, by :

1) moving sk_refcnt close to sk_lock.

This reduces number of dirtied cache lines by one on 64bit arches (and
64 bytes cache line size).

2) moving inet_daddr & inet_rcv_saddr at the beginning of sk

(same cache line than hash / family / bound_dev_if / nulls_node)

This reduces number of accessed cache lines in lookups by one, and dont
increase size of inet and timewait socks.
inet and tw sockets now share same place-holder for these fields.

Before patch :

offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x40
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x60
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x270
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x274

After patch :

offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x44
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x48
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x68
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x0
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x4

compute_score() (udp or tcp) now use a single cache line per ignored
item, instead of two.

igmp: RCU conversion of in_dev->mc_list

2010-11-12T21:18:57+00:00

in_dev->mc_list is protected by one rwlock (in_dev->mc_list_lock).

This can easily be converted to a RCU protection.

Writers hold RTNL, so mc_list_lock is removed, not replaced by a
spinlock.

net - IP_NODEFRAG option for IPv4 socket

2010-06-23T20:16:38+00:00

this patch is implementing IP_NODEFRAG option for IPv4 socket.
The reason is, there's no other way to send out the packet with user
customized header of the reassembly part.

net: Make RFS socket operations not be inet specific.

2010-04-27T22:11:48+00:00

Idea from Eric Dumazet.

As for placement inside of struct sock, I tried to choose a place
that otherwise has a 32-bit hole on 64-bit systems.

rps: inet_rps_save_rxhash() argument is not const

2010-04-27T19:53:25+00:00

const qualifier on sock argument is misleading, since we can modify rxhash.
