net: introduce sk_gfp_atomic() to allow addition of GFP flags depending on the individual socket

2012-08-01T01:42:46+00:00

Introduce sk_gfp_atomic(), this function allows to inject sock specific
flags to each sock related allocation.  It is only used on allocation
paths that may be required for writing pages back to network storage.

[davem@davemloft.net: Use sk_gfp_atomic only when necessary]

CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP -> CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED -> CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED

net: TCP early demux cleanup

2012-07-30T21:53:21+00:00

early_demux() handlers should be called in RCU context, and as we
use skb_dst_set_noref(skb, dst), caller must not exit from RCU context
before dst use (skb_dst(skb)) or release (skb_drop(dst))

Therefore, rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around
->early_demux() are confusing and not needed :

Protocol handlers are already in an RCU read lock section.
(__netif_receive_skb() does the rcu_read_lock() )

ipv6: fix incorrect route 'expires' value passed to userspace

2012-07-30T06:18:31+00:00

When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with an already
expired route entry, we always got an 'expires' value(2147157)
calculated base on INT_MAX.

The reason of this problem is in the following satement:
	rt->dst.expires - jiffies < INT_MAX
gcc promoted the type of both sides of '<' to unsigned long, thus
a small negative value would be considered greater than INT_MAX.

With the help of Eric Dumazet, do the out of bound checks in
rtnl_put_cacheinfo(), _after_ conversion to clock_t.

tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indications

2012-07-23T07:58:46+00:00

ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than
mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit)

One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling
icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu));

We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e1e6 (ipv6: disable GSO on
sockets hitting dst_allfrag).

Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp
sessions paid a too big latency increase price.

This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU
reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay
is added in TCP transmits.

net: Document dst->obsolete better.

2012-07-20T20:31:21+00:00

Add a big comment explaining how the field works, and use defines
instead of magic constants for the values assigned to it.

net-tcp: Fast Open base

2012-07-19T17:55:36+00:00

This patch impelements the common code for both the client and server.

1. TCP Fast Open option processing. Since Fast Open does not have an
   option number assigned by IANA yet, it shares the experiment option
   code 254 by implementing draft-ietf-tcpm-experimental-options
   with a 16 bits magic number 0xF989. This enables global experiments
   without clashing the scarce(2) experimental options available for TCP.

   When the draft status becomes standard (maybe), the client should
   switch to the new option number assigned while the server supports
   both numbers for transistion.

2. The new sysctl tcp_fastopen

3. A place holder init function

ipv6: add ipv6_addr_hash() helper

2012-07-18T18:28:46+00:00

Introduce ipv6_addr_hash() helper doing a XOR on all bits
of an IPv6 address, with an optimized x86_64 version.

Use it in flow dissector, as suggested by Andrew McGregor,
to reduce hash collision probabilities in fq_codel (and other
users of flow dissector)

Use it in ip6_tunnel.c and use more bit shuffling, as suggested
by David Laight, as existing hash was ignoring most of them.

Use it in sunrpc and use more bit shuffling, using hash_32().

Use it in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, using hash_32() as well.

As a cleanup, use it in net/ipv4/tcp_metrics.c
