2007-10-15[IPV6]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff * in input handlersHerbert Xu3-3/+3
With all the users of the double pointers removed from the IPv6 input path, this patch converts all occurances of sk_buff ** to sk_buff * in IPv6 input handlers. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-15[INET]: Consolidate the xxx_putPavel Emelyanov1-0/+6
These ones use the generic data types too, so move them in one place. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-15[INET]: Consolidate the xxx_evictorPavel Emelyanov3-0/+11
The evictors collect some statistics for ipv4 and ipv6, so make it return the number of evicted queues and account them all at once in the caller. The XXX_ADD_STATS_BH() macros are just for this case, but maybe there are places in code, that can make use of them as well. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-15[INET]: Consolidate the xxx_frag_destroyPavel Emelyanov1-0/+5
To make in possible we need to know the exact frag queue size for inet_frags->mem management and two callbacks: * to destoy the skb (optional, used in conntracks only) * to free the queue itself (mandatory, but later I plan to move the allocation and the destruction of frag_queues into the common place, so this callback will most likely be optional too).

2007-10-15[INET]: Consolidate xxx_the secret_rebuildPavel Emelyanov1-0/+2
This code works with the generic data types as well, so move this into inet_fragment.c This move makes it possible to hide the secret_timer management and the secret_rebuild routine completely in the inet_fragment.c Introduce the ->hashfn() callback in inet_frags() to get the hashfun for a given inet_frag_queue() object.

2007-10-15[INET]: Consolidate the xxx_frag_killPavel Emelyanov1-0/+2
Since now all the xxx_frag_kill functions now work with the generic inet_frag_queue data type, this can be moved into a common place. The xxx_unlink() code is moved as well. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-15[INET]: Collect common frag sysctl variables togetherPavel Emelyanov4-11/+14
Some sysctl variables are used to tune the frag queues management and it will be useful to work with them in a common way in the future, so move them into one structure, moreover they are the same for all the frag management codes. I don't place them in the existing inet_frags object, introduced in the previous patch for two reasons: 1. to keep them in the __read_mostly section; 2. not to export the whole inet_frags objects outside.

2007-10-15[INET]: Collect frag queues management objects togetherPavel Emelyanov3-4/+19
There are some objects that are common in all the places which are used to keep track of frag queues, they are: * hash table * LRU list * rw lock * rnd number for hash function * the number of queues * the amount of memory occupied by queues * secret timer Move all this stuff into one structure (struct inet_frags) to make it possible use them uniformly in the future. Like with the previous patch this mostly consists of hunks like - write_lock(&ipfrag_lock); + write_lock(&ip4_frags.lock); To address the issue with exporting the number of queues and the amount of memory occupied by queues outside the .c file they are declared in, I introduce a couple of helpers.

2007-10-15[INET]: Move common fields from frag_queues in one place.Pavel Emelyanov1-0/+21
Introduce the struct inet_frag_queue in include/net/inet_frag.h file and place there all the common fields from three structs: * struct ipq in ipv4/ip_fragment.c * struct nf_ct_frag6_queue in nf_conntrack_reasm.c * struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c After this, replace these fields on appropriate structures with this structure instance and fix the users to use correct names i.e. hunks like - atomic_dec(&fq->refcnt); + atomic_dec(&fq->q.refcnt); (these occupy most of the patch) Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-15[NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *Herbert Xu7-19/+19

2007-10-15[IPV4]: Change ip_defrag to return an integerHerbert Xu1-1/+1
Now that ip_frag always returns the packet given to it on input, we can change it to return an integer indicating error instead. This patch does that and updates all its callers accordingly. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-11[IPv6]: Export userland ND options through netlink (RDNSS support)Pierre Ynard1-0/+1
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.

2007-10-11[NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchroniousDenis V. Lunev1-3/+3
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Acked-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-10-11[INET]: local port range robustnessStephen Hemminger1-1/+2
Expansion of original idea from Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Add robustness and locking to the local_port_range sysctl. 1. Enforce that low < high when setting. 2. Use seqlock to ensure atomic update. The locking might seem like overkill, but there are cases where sysadmin might want to change value in the middle of a DoS attack.

2007-10-11[SCTP]: port randomizationStephen Hemminger1-2/+0
Add port randomization rather than a simple fixed rover for use with SCTP. This makes it act similar to TCP, UDP, DCCP when allocating ports. No longer need port_alloc_lock as well (suggestion by Brian Haley). Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-11[IPSEC]: Get rid of ipv6_{auth,esp,comp}_hdrHerbert Xu3-1/+24
This patch removes the duplicate ipv6_{auth,esp,comp}_hdr structures since they're identical to the IPv4 versions. Duplicating them would only create problems for ourselves later when we need to add things like extended sequence numbers. I've also added transport header type conversion headers for these types which are now used by the transforms. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-11[IPSEC]: Use IPv6 calling convention as the convention for x->mode->outputHerbert Xu1-0/+12
The IPv6 calling convention for x->mode->output is more general and could help an eventual protocol-generic x->type->output implementation. This patch adopts it for IPv4 as well and modifies the IPv4 type output functions accordingly. It also rewrites the IPv6 mac/transport header calculation to be based off the network header where practical. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-11[IPSEC]: Move common code into xfrm_alloc_spiHerbert Xu1-1/+1
This patch moves some common code that conceptually belongs to the xfrm core from af_key/xfrm_user into xfrm_alloc_spi. In particular, the spin lock on the state is now taken inside xfrm_alloc_spi. Previously it also protected the construction of the response PF_KEY/XFRM messages to user-space. This is inconsistent as other identical constructions are not protected by the state lock. This is bad because they in fact should be protected but only in certain spots (so as not to hold the lock for too long which may cause packet drops). The SPI byte order conversion has also been moved. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-11[NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=nPavel Emelyanov1-0/+9
With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS is not set to save more space in memory. The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section, as noticed by David, since the init section will have references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already done with the __init_refok.

2007-10-11[IPSEC]: Unexport xfrm_replay_notifyHerbert Xu1-6/+0
Now that the only callers of xfrm_replay_notify are in xfrm, we can remove the export. This patch also removes xfrm_aevent_doreplay since it's now called in just one spot. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-11[IPSEC]: Move output replay code into xfrm_outputHerbert Xu1-1/+19
The replay counter is one of only two remaining things in the output code that requires a lock on the xfrm state (the other being the crypto). This patch moves it into the generic xfrm_output so we can remove the lock from the transforms themselves. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-11[IPSEC]: Move xfrm_state_check into xfrm_output.cHerbert Xu1-1/+0

2007-10-11[IPSEC]: Move common output code to xfrm_outputHerbert Xu1-0/+1
Most of the code in xfrm4_output_one and xfrm6_output_one are identical so this patch moves them into a common xfrm_output function which will live in net/xfrm. In fact this would seem to fix a bug as on IPv4 we never reset the network header after a transform which may upset netfilter later on.

2007-10-11[AF_IUCV]: postpone receival of iucv-packetsUrsula Braun1-0/+7
AF_IUCV socket programs may waste Linux storage, because af_iucv allocates an skb whenever posted by the receive callback routine and receives the message immediately. Message receival is now postponed if data from previous callbacks has not yet been transferred to the receiving socket program. Instead a message handle is saved in a message queue as a reminder. Once messages could be given to the receiving socket program, there is an additional checking for entries in the message queue, followed by skb allocation and message receival if applicable.

2007-10-11[PKT_SCHED]: Add stateless NATHerbert Xu1-0/+21
Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to correctly NAT protocol-specific data. In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so. Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into the IPv4 routing subsystem. This was a great solution as long as the NAT worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was relatively small. The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system had to perform a linear scan through the rules. If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take place in the routing subsystem to make this practical. For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim. The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time. The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code written by Alexey. In future we might be able to utilise the protocol NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
