net: rename busy poll socket op and globals

2013-07-11T00:08:27+00:00

Rename LL_SO to BUSY_POLL_SO
Rename sysctl_net_ll_{read,poll} to sysctl_busy_{read,poll}
Fix up users of these variables.
Fix documentation for sysctl.

a patch for the socket.7  man page will follow separately,
because of limitations of my mail setup.

net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll

2013-07-09T02:25:45+00:00

Rename functions in include/net/ll_poll.h to busy wait.
Clarify documentation about expected power use increase.
Rename POLL_LL to POLL_BUSY_LOOP.
Add need_resched() testing to poll/select busy loops.

Note, that in select and poll can_busy_poll is dynamic and is
updated continuously to reflect the existence of supported
sockets with valid queue information.

net: poll/select low latency socket support

2013-06-25T23:35:52+00:00

select/poll busy-poll support.

Split sysctl value into two separate ones, one for read and one for poll.
updated Documentation/sysctl/net.txt

Add a new poll flag POLL_LL. When this flag is set, sock_poll will call
sk_poll_ll if possible. sock_poll sets this flag in its return value
to indicate to select/poll when a socket that can busy poll is found.

When poll/select have nothing to report, call the low-level
sock_poll again until we are out of time or we find something.

Once the system call finds something, it stops setting POLL_LL, so it can
return the result to the user ASAP.

net: add socket option for low latency polling

2013-06-17T22:48:14+00:00

adds a socket option for low latency polling.
This allows overriding the global sysctl value with a per-socket one.
Unexport sysctl_net_ll_poll since for now it's not needed in modules.

net: change sysctl_net_ll_poll into an unsigned int

2013-06-17T22:48:13+00:00

There is no reason for sysctl_net_ll_poll to be an unsigned long.
Change it into an unsigned int.
Fix the proc handler.

net: add low latency socket poll

2013-06-11T04:22:35+00:00

Adds an ndo_ll_poll method and the code that supports it.
This method can be used by low latency applications to busy-poll
Ethernet device queues directly from the socket code.
sysctl_net_ll_poll controls how many microseconds to poll.
Default is zero (disabled).
Individual protocol support will be added by subsequent patches.

net: Unbreak compat_sys_{send,recv}msg

2013-06-06T18:52:14+00:00

I broke them in this commit:

        net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in send(m)msg and recv(m)msg

This patch adds __sys_sendmsg and __sys_sendmsg as common helpers that accept
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT and blocks MSG_CMSG_COMPAT at the syscall entrypoints.  It
also reverts some unnecessary checks in sys_socketcall.

Apparently I was suffering from underscore blindness the first time around.

Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pablo/nf-next

2013-06-06T08:03:06+00:00

Conflicts:
	net/netfilter/nf_log.c

The conflict in nf_log.c is that in 'net' we added CONFIG_PROC_FS
protection around foo_proc_entry() calls to fix a build failure,
whereas in Pablo's tree a guard if() test around a call is
remove_proc_entry() was removed.  Trivially resolved.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains the first batch of
Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree, they are:

* Three patches with improvements and code refactorization
  for nfnetlink_queue, from Florian Westphal.

* FTP helper now parses replies without brackets, as RFC1123
  recommends, from Jeff Mahoney.

* Rise a warning to tell everyone about ULOG deprecation,
  NFLOG has been already in the kernel tree for long time
  and supersedes the old logging over netlink stub, from
  myself.

* Don't panic if we fail to load netfilter core framework,
  just bail out instead, from myself.

* Add cond_resched_rcu, used by IPVS to allow rescheduling
  while walking over big hashtables, from Simon Horman.

* Change type of IPVS sysctl_sync_qlen_max sysctl to avoid
  possible overflow, from Zhang Yanfei.

* Use strlcpy instead of strncpy to skip zeroing of already
  initialized area to write the extension names in ebtables,
  from Chen Gang.

* Use already existing per-cpu notrack object from xt_CT,
  from Eric Dumazet.

* Save explicit socket lookup in xt_socket now that we have
  early demux, also from Eric Dumazet.
