net: ipv6: fix TCP early demux

2012-08-06T20:33:21+00:00

IPv6 needs a cookie in dst_check() call.

We need to add rx_dst_cookie and provide a family independent
sk_rx_dst_set(sk, skb) method to properly support IPv6 TCP early demux.

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.

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.

Add a big comment explaining how the field works, and use defines
