[INET]: Remove no longer needed ->equal callback

2007-10-18T02:47:56+00:00

Since this callback is used to check for conflicts in
hashtable when inserting a newly created frag queue, we can
do the same by checking for matching the queue with the 
argument, used to create one.

[INET]: Consolidate xxx_find() in fragment management

2007-10-18T02:47:21+00:00

Here we need another callback ->match to check whether the
entry found in hash matches the key passed. The key used 
is the same as the creation argument for inet_frag_create.

Yet again, this ->match is the same for netfilter and ipv6.
Running a frew steps forward - this callback will later
replace the ->equal one.

Since the inet_frag_find() uses the already consolidated
inet_frag_create() remove the xxx_frag_create from protocol
codes.

[INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_create()

2007-10-18T02:46:47+00:00

This one uses the xxx_frag_intern() and xxx_frag_alloc()
routines, which are already consolidated, so remove them
from protocol code (as promised).

The ->constructor callback is used to init the rest of
the frag queue and it is the same for netfilter and ipv6.

[INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_intern

2007-10-18T02:44:34+00:00

This routine checks for the existence of a given entry
in the hash table and inserts the new one if needed.

The ->equal callback is used to compare two frag_queue-s
together, but this one is temporary and will be removed
later. The netfilter code and the ipv6 one use the same
routine to compare frags.

The inet_frag_intern() always returns non-NULL pointer,
so convert the inet_frag_queue into protocol specific
one (with the container_of) without any checks.

[IPV6]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff * in input handlers

2007-10-15T19:50:28+00:00

With all the users of the double pointers removed from the IPv6 input path,
this patch converts all occurances of sk_buff ** to sk_buff * in IPv6 input
handlers.

[INET]: Consolidate the xxx_evictor

2007-10-15T19:26:42+00:00

The evictors collect some statistics for ipv4 and ipv6,
so make it return the number of evicted queues and account
them all at once in the caller.

The XXX_ADD_STATS_BH() macros are just for this case,
but maybe there are places in code, that can make use of
them as well.

[INET]: Collect common frag sysctl variables together

2007-10-15T19:26:40+00:00

Some sysctl variables are used to tune the frag queues
management and it will be useful to work with them in
a common way in the future, so move them into one
structure, moreover they are the same for all the frag
management codes.

I don't place them in the existing inet_frags object,
introduced in the previous patch for two reasons:

 1. to keep them in the __read_mostly section;
 2. not to export the whole inet_frags objects outside.

[INET]: Collect frag queues management objects together

2007-10-15T19:26:39+00:00

There are some objects that are common in all the places
which are used to keep track of frag queues, they are:

 * hash table
 * LRU list
 * rw lock
 * rnd number for hash function
 * the number of queues
 * the amount of memory occupied by queues
 * secret timer

Move all this stuff into one structure (struct inet_frags)
to make it possible use them uniformly in the future. Like
with the previous patch this mostly consists of hunks like

-    write_lock(&ipfrag_lock);
+    write_lock(&ip4_frags.lock);

To address the issue with exporting the number of queues and
the amount of memory occupied by queues outside the .c file
they are declared in, I introduce a couple of helpers.

[IPV6]: Add ICMPMsgStats MIB (RFC 4293) [rev 2]

2007-10-10T23:51:27+00:00

Background: RFC 4293 deprecates existing individual, named ICMP
type counters to be replaced with the ICMPMsgStatsTable. This table
includes entries for both IPv4 and IPv6, and requires counting of all
ICMP types, whether or not the machine implements the type.

These patches "remove" (but not really) the existing counters, and
replace them with the ICMPMsgStats tables for v4 and v6.
It includes the named counters in the /proc places they were, but gets the
values for them from the new tables. It also counts packets generated
from raw socket output (e.g., OutEchoes, MLD queries, RA's from
radvd, etc).

Changes:
1) create icmpmsg_statistics mib
2) create icmpv6msg_statistics mib
3) modify existing counters to use these
4) modify /proc/net/snmp to add "IcmpMsg" with all ICMP types
        listed by number for easy SNMP parsing
5) modify /proc/net/snmp printing for "Icmp" to get the named data
        from new counters.
[new to 2nd revision]
6) support per-interface ICMP stats
7) use common macro for per-device stat macros
