netfilter: ipv6: nf_defrag: reduce struct net memory waste

2018-08-24T11:12:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9ce7bc036ae4cfe3393232c86e9e1fea2153c237 ] It is a waste of memory to use a full "struct netns_sysctl_ipv6" while only one pointer is really used, considering netns_sysctl_ipv6 keeps growing. Also, since "struct netns_frags" has cache line alignment, it is better to move the frags_hdr pointer outside, otherwise we spend a full cache line for this pointer. This saves 192 bytes of memory per netns.

netfilter: replace list_head with single linked list

2016-09-25T12:38:48+00:00

The netfilter hook list never uses the prev pointer, and so can be trimmed to be a simple singly-linked list. In addition to having a more light weight structure for hook traversal, struct net becomes 5568 bytes (down from 6400) and struct net_device becomes 2176 bytes (down from 2240).

From Julia Lawall 2) Protect xfrm state hash tables with rcu, lookups can be done now without acquiring xfrm_state_lock. From Florian Westphal. 3) Protect xfrm policy hash tables with rcu, lookups can be done now without acquiring xfrm_policy_lock. From Florian Westphal. 4) We don't need to have a garbage collector list per namespace anymore, so use a global one instead. From Florian Westphal. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

xfrm: state: remove per-netns gc task

2016-08-24T11:16:06+00:00

After commit 5b8ef3415a21f173 ("xfrm: Remove ancient sleeping when the SA is in acquire state") gc does not need any per-netns data anymore. As far as gc is concerned all state structs are the same, so we can use a global work struct for it. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert

netfilter: remove ip_conntrack* sysctl compat code

2016-08-13T11:27:13+00:00

This backward compatibility has been around for more than ten years, since Yasuyuki Kozakai introduced IPv6 in conntrack. These days, we have alternate /proc/net/nf_conntrack* entries, the ctnetlink interface and the conntrack utility got adopted by many people in the user community according to what I observed on the netfilter user mailing list. So let's get rid of this. Note that nf_conntrack_htable_size and unsigned int nf_conntrack_max do not need to be exported as symbol anymore. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

xfrm: policy: convert policy_lock to spinlock

2016-08-12T06:07:12+00:00

After earlier patches conversions all spots acquire the writer lock and we can now convert this to a normal spinlock. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert

push the lock down, after earlier patches we can rely on rcu to make sure state struct won't go away. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert
