net: introduce SO_INCOMING_CPU

2014-11-11T18:00:06+00:00

Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple
queues.

Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each
one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool.

Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to
know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed.

We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly
set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet
is enough to solve the problem.

After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around
processes, applications can use :

 int cpu;
 socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu);

 getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len);

And use this information to put the socket into the right silo
for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run
on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

sctp: add support for busy polling to sctp protocol

2014-04-20T22:18:55+00:00

The busy polling socket option adds support for sockets to busy wait on data
arriving on the napi queue from which they have most recently received a frame.
Currently only tcp and udp support this feature, but theres no reason sctp can't
do so as well.  Add it in so appliations can take advantage of it

net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.

2014-04-11T20:15:36+00:00

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

	skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
	sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument.  And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

sctp: Fix FSF address in file headers

2013-12-06T17:37:56+00:00

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation
in the file header comment.  Resolve by replacing the address with
the URL  so that we do not have to keep
updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

net: sctp: trivial: update bug report in header comment

2013-08-09T18:33:02+00:00

With the restructuring of the lksctp.org site, we only allow bug
reports through the SCTP mailing list linux-sctp@vger.kernel.org,
not via SF, as SF is only used for web hosting and nothing more.
While at it, also remove the obvious statement that bugs will be
fixed and incooperated into the kernel.

net: sctp: sctp_ulpq: remove 'malloced' struct member

2013-04-17T18:13:02+00:00

The structure sctp_ulpq is embedded into sctp_association and never
separately allocated, also ulpq->malloced is always 0, so that
kfree() is never called. Therefore, remove this code.
