ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes

2011-05-19T20:21:22+00:00

ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because
they use percpu storage.

needed size per device is :
(512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2

On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of
memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool.

Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t)

Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might
also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.

net: Remove KERNEL cpp checks from include/net

2011-04-24T17:54:56+00:00

These header files are never installed to user consumption, so any
__KERNEL__ cpp checks are superfluous.

Projects should also not copy these files into their userland utility
sources and try to use them there.  If they insist on doing so, the
onus is on them to sanitize the headers as needed.

inet: constify ip headers and in6_addr

2011-04-22T18:04:14+00:00

Add const qualifiers to structs iphdr, ipv6hdr and in6_addr pointers
where possible, to make code intention more obvious.

xfrm: Handle blackhole route creation via afinfo.

That way we don't have to potentially do this in every xfrm_lookup()
caller.

ipv6: Normalize arguments to ip6_dst_blackhole().

2011-03-01T22:45:33+00:00

Return a dst pointer which is potentitally error encoded.

Don't pass original dst pointer by reference, pass a struct net
instead of a socket, and elide the flow argument since it is
unnecessary.

ipv6: Change final dst lookup arg name to "can_sleep"

Since it indicates whether we are invoked from a sleepable
context or not.

ipv6: Consolidate route lookup sequences.

2011-03-01T21:19:07+00:00

Route lookups follow a general pattern in the ipv6 code wherein
we first find the non-IPSEC route, potentially override the
flow destination address due to ipv6 options settings, and then
finally make an IPSEC search using either xfrm_lookup() or
__xfrm_lookup().

__xfrm_lookup() is used when we want to generate a blackhole route
if the key manager needs to resolve the IPSEC rules (in this case
-EREMOTE is returned and the original 'dst' is left unchanged).

Otherwise plain xfrm_lookup() is used and when asynchronous IPSEC
resolution is necessary, we simply fail the lookup completely.

All of these cases are encapsulated into two routines,
ip6_dst_lookup_flow and ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow.  The latter of which
handles unconnected UDP datagram sockets.

ipv6: Add IPv6 multicast address flag defines

2011-02-22T18:07:27+00:00

This commit adds the missing IPv6 multicast address flag defines to
complement the already existing multicast address scope defines and to
be able to check these flags nicely in the future.
