2010-04-26net: rtnetlink: decouple rtnetlink address families from real address familiesPatrick McHardy1-0/+6
Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO. This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table without breaking compatibility. This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values above that may be used arbitrarily. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-02-25net: Add checking to rcu_dereference() primitivesPaul E. McKenney1-0/+3
Update rcu_dereference() primitives to use new lockdep-based checking. The rcu_dereference() in __in6_dev_get() may be protected either by rcu_read_lock() or RTNL, per Eric Dumazet. The rcu_dereference() in __sk_free() is protected by the fact that it is never reached if an update could change it. Check for this by using rcu_dereference_check() to verify that the struct sock's ->sk_wmem_alloc counter is zero. Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: David S.

2009-12-24net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive windowlaurent chavey1-0/+2
Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size advertised by passive and active TCP connections. The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results in increased latency to complete the transaction. Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window. The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window than the ones bounded by slow start.

2009-12-16tcp: Revert per-route SACK/DSACK/TIMESTAMP changes.David S. Miller1-4/+2
It creates a regression, triggering badness for SYN_RECV sockets, for example: [19148.022102] Badness at net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c:293 [19148.022570] NIP: c02a0914 LR: c02a0904 CTR: 00000000 [19148.023035] REGS: eeecbd30 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (2.6.32) [19148.023496] MSR: 00029032 <EE,ME,CE,IR,DR> CR: 24002442 XER: 00000000 [19148.024012] TASK = eee9a820[1756] 'privoxy' THREAD: eeeca000 This is likely caused by the change in the 'estab' parameter passed to tcp_parse_options() when invoked by the functions in net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c But even if that is fixed, the ->conn_request() changes made in this patch series is fundamentally wrong. They try to use the listening socket's 'dst' to probe the route settings. The listening socket doesn't even have a route, and you can't get the right route (the child request one) until much later after we setup all of the state, and it must be done by hand. This stuff really isn't ready, so the best thing to do is a full revert. This reverts the following commits: f55017a93f1a74d50244b1254b9a2bd7ac9bbf7d 022c3f7d82f0f1c68018696f2f027b87b9bb45c2 1aba721eba1d84a2defce45b950272cee1e6c72a cda42ebd67ee5fdf09d7057b5a4584d36fe8a335 345cda2fd695534be5a4494f1b59da9daed33663 dc343475ed062e13fc260acccaab91d7d80fd5b2 05eaade2782fb0c90d3034fd7a7d5a16266182bb 6a2a2d6bf8581216e08be15fcb563cfd6c430e1e Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-02-25netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso1-2/+2
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

2008-04-24[RTNETLINK]: Fix bogus ASSERT_RTNL warningPatrick McHardy1-2/+2

This bogus warnings when running in atomic context, which f.e. happens when adding secondary unicast addresses through macvlan or vlan or when synchronizing multicast addresses from wireless devices. Mid-term we might want to consider moving all address updates to process context since the locking seems overly complicated, for now just fix the bogus warning by changing ASSERT_RTNL to use mutex_is_locked().

As discussed before, this patch provides userland with a way to access relevant options in Router Advertisements, after they are processed and validated by the kernel. Extra options are processed in a generic way; this patch only exports RDNSS options described in RFC5006, but support to control which options are exported could be easily added. A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor Discovery options, along with optional context information. At the moment only the address of the router sending an RDNSS option is included, but additional attributes may be later defined, if needed by new use cases.

2007-07-11[RTNETLINK]: Add nested compat attributePatrick McHardy1-0/+14
Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a backwards compatible way. The attribute looks like this: struct { [ compat contents ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = total size, .rta_type = type, } rta; struct old_structure struct; [ nested top-level attribute ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = nest size, .rta_type = type, } nest_attr; [ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = private attribute len, .rta_type = private attribute typ, } nested_attr; struct nested_data data; }; Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and ignore the rest.
