netfilter: remove all xt_table anchors from struct net

2021-04-26T01:20:47+00:00

No longer needed, table pointer arg is now passed via netfilter core. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: ebtables: remove the 3 ebtables pointers from struct net

2021-04-26T01:20:07+00:00

ebtables stores the table internal data (what gets passed to the ebt_do_table() interpreter) in struct net. nftables keeps the internal interpreter format in pernet lists and passes it via the netfilter core infrastructure (priv pointer). Do the same for ebtables: the nf_hook_ops are duplicated via kmemdup, then the ops->priv pointer is set to the table that is being registered. After that, the netfilter core passes this table info to the hookfn. This allows to remove the pointers from struct net. Same pattern can be applied to ip/ip6/arptables.

netfilter: conntrack: convert sysctls to u8

2021-04-13T11:10:39+00:00

log_invalid sysctl allows values of 0 to 255 inclusive so we no longer need a range check: the min/max values can be removed. This also removes all member variables that were moved to net_generic data in previous patches. This reduces size of netns_ct struct by one cache line.

net: dccp: use net_generic storage

2021-04-09T23:34:56+00:00

DCCP is virtually never used, so no need to use space in struct net for it. Put the pernet ipv4/v6 socket in the dccp ipv4/ipv6 modules instead. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210408174502.1625-1-fw@strlen.de Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following batch contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree: 1) Simplify log infrastructure modularity: Merge ipv4, ipv6, bridge, netdev and ARP families to nf_log_syslog.c. Add module softdeps. This fixes a rare deadlock condition that might occur when log module autoload is required. From Florian Westphal. 2) Moves part of netfilter related pernet data from struct net to net_generic() infrastructure. All of these users can be modules, so if they are not loaded there is no need to waste space. Size reduction is 7 cachelines on x86_64, also from Florian. 2) Update nftables audit support to report events once per table, to get it aligned with iptables. From Richard Guy Briggs. 3) Check for stale routes from the flowtable garbage collector path. This is fixing IPv6 which breaks due missing check for the dst_cookie. 4) Add a nfnl_fill_hdr() function to simplify netlink + nfnetlink headers setup. 5) Remove documentation on several statified functions. 6) Remove printk on netns creation for the FTP IPVS tracker, from Florian Westphal. 7) Remove unnecessary nf_tables_destroy_list_lock spinlock initialization, from Yang Yingliang. 7) Remove a duplicated forward declaration in ipset, from Wan Jiabing. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

net: remove obsolete members from struct net

2021-04-05T22:34:53+00:00

all have been moved to generic_net infra. On x86_64, this reduces struct net size from 70 to 63 cache lines (4480 to 4032 byte). Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

net: reorganize fields in netns_mib

2021-04-02T21:31:44+00:00

Order fields to increase locality for most used protocols. udplite and icmp are moved at the end. Same for proc_net_devsnmp6 which is not used in fast path. This potentially saves one cache line miss for typical TCP/UDP over IPv4/IPv6. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: move ip6_dst_ops first in netns_ipv6

2021-03-31T21:48:20+00:00

ip6_dst_ops have cache line alignement. Moving it at beginning of netns_ipv6 removes a 48 byte hole, and shrinks netns_ipv6 from 12 to 11 cache lines. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
