rtnl: provide link dump consistency info

2011-07-01T22:39:53+00:00

This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace
which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from
the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place,
the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first
message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages
of the same dump.

Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is
taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a
complete list of links and not miss any.

Testing:
I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split
over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in
one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy
netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have
had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set.

I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the
wireless tree.  I just wanted to give this some testing right away.

Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to it

2011-06-12T21:45:41+00:00

	* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory
	* new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns())
	* ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding ->drop_ns().  For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped.  Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns().
	* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
	* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL.  That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb->s_instances abuse.

	Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()
is called exactly when it used to be called.  The only thing postponed by
having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of
memory occupied by struct net.

Several networking headers were depending upon the implicit
linux/sysctl.h include they get when including linux/net.h

Add explicit includes.

net: Allow setting the network namespace by fd

2011-05-10T21:36:03+00:00

Take advantage of the new abstraction and allow network devices
to be placed in any network namespace that we have a fd to talk
about.

ipvs: move struct netns_ipvs

2011-03-15T00:36:50+00:00

 	Remove include/net/netns/ip_vs.h because it depends on
structures from include/net/ip_vs.h. As ipvs is pointer in
struct net it is better to move struct netns_ipvs into
include/net/ip_vs.h, so that we can easily use other structures
in struct netns_ipvs.

IPVS: netns, add basic init per netns.

2011-01-13T01:30:26+00:00

Preparation for network name-space init, in this stage
some empty functions exists.

In most files there is a check if it is root ns i.e. init_net
if (!net_eq(net, &init_net))
        return ...
this will be removed by the last patch, when enabling name-space.

netns: reorder fields in struct net

2010-10-17T20:49:14+00:00

In a network bench, I noticed an unfortunate false sharing between
'loopback_dev' and 'count' fields in "struct net".

'count' is written each time a socket is created or destroyed, while
loopback_dev might be often read in routing code.

Move loopback_dev in a read mostly section of "struct net"

Note: struct netns_xfrm is cache line aligned on SMP.
(It contains a "struct dst_ops")
Move it at the end to avoid holes, and reduce sizeof(struct net) by 128
bytes on ia32.
