[IPV4] raw: Strengthen check on validity of iph->ihl

2008-01-09T07:29:57+00:00

We currently check that iph->ihl is bounded by the real length and that
the real length is greater than the minimum IP header length.  However,
we did not check the caes where iph->ihl is less than the minimum IP
header length.

This breaks because some ip_fast_csum implementations assume that which
is quite reasonable.

[IPV4]: Use the {DEFINE|REF}_PROTO_INUSE infrastructure

2007-11-07T12:08:58+00:00

Trivial patch to make "tcp,udp,udplite,raw" protocols uses the fast
"inuse sockets" infrastructure

Each protocol use then a static percpu var, instead of a dynamic one.
This saves some ram and some cpu cycles

[NET]: Make core networking code use seq_open_private

2007-10-10T23:55:33+00:00

This concerns the ipv4 and ipv6 code mostly, but also the netlink
and unix sockets.

The netlink code is an example of how to use the __seq_open_private()
call - it saves the net namespace on this private.

[IPV4]: Add ICMPMsgStats MIB (RFC 4293)

2007-10-10T23:51:28+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.

[NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace

2007-10-10T23:49:06+00:00

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.
