[IPV6]: Audit all ip6_dst_lookup/ip6_dst_store calls

2006-08-02T20:38:14+00:00

The current users of ip6_dst_lookup can be divided into two classes: 1) The caller holds no locks and is in user-context (UDP). 2) The caller does not want to lookup the dst cache at all. The second class covers everyone except UDP because most people do the cache lookup directly before calling ip6_dst_lookup. This patch adds ip6_sk_dst_lookup for the first class. Similarly ip6_dst_store users can be divded into those that need to take the socket dst lock and those that don't. This patch adds __ip6_dst_store for those (everyone except UDP/datagram) that don't need an extra lock. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV6]: Clean up hop-by-hop options handler.

2006-04-18T22:57:53+00:00

- Removed unused argument (nhoff) for ipv6_parse_hopopts(). - Make ipv6_parse_hopopts() to align with other extension header handlers. - Removed pointless assignment (hdr), which is not used afterwards. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: {get|set}sockopt compatibility layer

2006-03-21T06:45:21+00:00

This patch extends {get|set}sockopt compatibility layer in order to move protocol specific parts to their place and avoid huge universal net/compat.c file in the future. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Mishin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETFILTER]: Move ip6_masked_addrcmp to include/net/ipv6.h

2006-03-21T02:03:16+00:00

Replace netfilter's ip6_masked_addrcmp by a more efficient version in include/net/ipv6.h to make it usable without module dependencies. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV4/6]: Netfilter IPsec input hooks

2006-01-07T20:57:31+00:00

When the innermost transform uses transport mode the decapsulated packet is not visible to netfilter. Pass the packet through the PRE_ROUTING and LOCAL_IN hooks again before handing it to upper layer protocols to make netfilter-visibility symetrical to the output path.

[INET_SOCK]: Move struct inet_sock & helper functions to net/inet_sock.h

2006-01-03T21:11:21+00:00

To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were touched as they were getting needed headers indirectly for stuff they use. Thanks also to Alan Menegotto for pointing out that net/dccp/proto.c had linux/dccp.h include twice. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: move struct proto_ops to const

2006-01-03T21:11:15+00:00

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at least) This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const, so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing. This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly) I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make them const. This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and speedup some socket system calls. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[INET6]: Generalise tcp_v6_hash_connect

2006-01-03T21:10:56+00:00

Renaming it to inet6_hash_connect, making it possible to ditch dccp_v6_hash_connect and share the same code with TCP instead. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV6]: Export ipv6_opt_accepted

2006-01-03T21:10:51+00:00

It was already non-TCP specific, will be used by DCCPv6. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
