nsproxy: remove INIT_NSPROXY()

2010-03-12T23:52:40+00:00

Remove INIT_NSPROXY(), use C99 initializer. Remove INIT_IPC_NS(), INIT_NET_NS() while I'm at it. Note: headers trim will be done later, now it's quite pointless because results will be invalidated by merge window.

net: Add support for batching network namespace cleanups

2009-12-03T20:22:01+00:00

- Add exit_list to struct net to support building lists of network namespaces to cleanup. - Add exit_batch to pernet_operations to allow running operations only once during a network namespace exit. Instead of once per network namespace. - Factor opt ops_exit_list and ops_exit_free so the logic with cleanup up a network namespace does not need to be duplicated. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

net: remove [un]register_pernet_gen_... and update the docs.

2009-12-02T00:16:00+00:00

No that all of the callers have been updated to set fields in struct pernet_operations, and simplified to let the network namespace core handle the allocation and freeing of the storage for them, remove the surpurpflous methods and update the docs to the new style.

net: Automatically allocate per namespace data.

2009-12-02T00:15:51+00:00

To get the full benefit of batched network namespace cleanup netowrk device deletion needs to be performed by the generic code. When using register_pernet_gen_device and freeing the data in exit_net it is impossible to delay allocation until after exit_net has called as the device uninit methods are no longer safe. To correct this, and to simplify working with per network namespace data I have moved allocation and deletion of per network namespace data into the network namespace core. The core now frees the data only after all of the network namespace exit routines have run. Now it is only required to set the new fields .id and .size in the pernet_operations structure if you want network namespace data to be managed for you automatically. This makes the current register_pernet_gen_device and register_pernet_gen_subsys routines unnecessary. For the moment I have left them as compatibility wrappers in net_namespace.h They will be removed once all of the users have been updated. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Batch network namespace destruction.

2009-12-02T00:15:51+00:00

It is fairly common to kill several network namespaces at once. Either because they are nested one inside the other or because they are cooperating in multiple machine networking experiments. As the network stack control logic does not parallelize easily batch up multiple network namespaces existing together. To get the full benefit of batching the virtual network devices to be removed must be all removed in one batch. For that purpose I have added a loop after the last network device operations have run that batches up all remaining network devices and deletes them. An extra benefit is that the reorganization slightly shrinks the size of the per network namespace data structures replaceing a work_struct with a list_head. In a trivial test with 4K namespaces this change reduced the cost of a destroying 4K namespaces from 7+ minutes (at 12% cpu) to 44 seconds (at 60% cpu). The bulk of that 44s was spent in inet_twsk_purge. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: speedup rtnl_dump_ifinfo()

2009-10-24T13:13:17+00:00

When handling large number of netdevice, rtnl_dump_ifinfo() is very slow because it has O(N^2) complexity. Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the 256 sub lists of the dev_index hash table. This considerably speedups "ip link" operations Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

wext: refactor

2009-10-07T20:39:43+00:00

Refactor wext to * split out iwpriv handling * split out iwspy handling * split out procfs support * allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT After this, drivers need to - select WIRELESS_EXT - for wext support - select WEXT_PRIV - for iwpriv support - select WEXT_SPY - for iwspy support except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT. Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core (i.e. WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

net: explain netns notifiers a little better

2009-07-20T15:03:00+00:00

Eric explained this to me -- and afterwards the comment made sense, but not before. Add the the critical point about interfaces having to be gone from the netns before subsys notifiers are called. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

wireless extensions: make netns aware

This makes wireless extensions netns aware. The tasklet sending the events is converted to a work struct so that we can rtnl_lock() in it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
