ipv4: Don't do expensive useless work during inetdev destroy.

2016-03-30T14:14:13+00:00

commit fbd40ea0180a2d328c5adc61414dc8bab9335ce2 upstream.

When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface
is removed.  And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can
be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large:

1) Address promotion.  We are deleting all addresses, so there is no
   point in doing this.

2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address.  We only need to
   do this once, as is already caught by the existing
   masq_dev_notifier so masq_inet_event() can skip this.

[mk] 3.12.*: The change in masq_inet_event() needs to be duplicated in
both IPv4 and IPv6 version of the function, these two were merged in
3.18.

Adding some debugging code reveals that net_fill_ifaddr() fails in

    put_cacheinfo(skb, ifa->ifa_cstamp, ifa->ifa_tstamp,
                              preferred, valid))

nla_put complains:

    lib/nlattr.c:454: skb_tailroom(skb) = 12, nla_total_size(attrlen) = 20

Apparently commit 5c766d642bcaffd0c2a5b354db2068515b3846cf ("ipv4:
introduce address lifetime") forgot to take into account the addition of
struct ifa_cacheinfo in inet_nlmsg_size(). Hence add it, like is already
done for ipv6.

net: igmp: Allow user-space configuration of igmp unsolicited report interval

2013-08-09T18:27:46+00:00

Adds the new procfs knobs:

    /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/igmpv2_unsolicited_report_interval
    /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/igmpv3_unsolicited_report_interval

Which will allow userspace configuration of the IGMP unsolicited report
interval (see below) in milliseconds.  The defaults are 10000ms for IGMPv2
and 1000ms for IGMPv3 in accordance with RFC2236 and RFC3376.

Background:

If an IGMP join packet is lost you will not receive data sent to the
multicast group so if no data arrives from that multicast group in a
period of time after the IGMP join a second IGMP join will be sent.  The
delay between joins is the "IGMP Unsolicited Report Interval".

Prior to this patch this value was hard coded in the kernel to 10s for
IGMPv2 and 1s for IGMPv3.  10s is unsuitable for some use-cases, such as
IPTV as it can cause channel change to be slow in the presence of packet
loss.

This patch allows the value to be overridden from userspace for both
IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 such that it can be tuned accoding to the network.

Tested with Wireshark and a simple program to join a (non-existent)
multicast group.  The distribution of timings for the second join differ
based upon setting the procfs knobs.

igmpvX_unsolicited_report_interval is intended to follow the pattern
established by force_igmp_version, and while a procfs entry has been added
a corresponding sysctl knob has not as it is my understanding that sysctl
is deprecated[1].

net: igmp: Don't flush routing cache when force_igmp_version is modified

2013-08-09T18:27:46+00:00

The procfs knob /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/force_igmp_version allows the
IGMP protocol version to use to be explicitly set.  As a side effect this
caused the routing cache to be flushed as it was declared as a
DEVINET_SYSCTL_FLUSHING_ENTRY.  Flushing is unnecessary and this patch
makes it so flushing does not occur.

Requested by Hannes Frederic Sowa as he was reviewing other patches
adding procfs entries.

igmp: hash a hash table to speedup ip_check_mc_rcu()

2013-06-12T07:25:23+00:00

After IP route cache removal, multicast applications using
a lot of multicast addresses hit a O(N) behavior in ip_check_mc_rcu()

Add a per in_device hash table to get faster lookup.

This hash table is created only if the number of items in mc_list is
above 4.
