2011-04-22inet: constify ip headers and in6_addrEric Dumazet
Add const qualifiers to structs iphdr, ipv6hdr and in6_addr pointers where possible, to make code intention more obvious. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-02-10inetpeer: Add redirect and PMTU discovery cached info.David S. Miller
Validity of the cached PMTU information is indicated by it's expiration value being non-zero, just as per dst->expires. The scheme we will use is that we will remember the pre-ICMP value held in the metrics or route entry, and then at expiration time we will restore that value. In this way PMTU expiration does not kill off the cached route as is done currently. Redirect information is permanent, or at least until another redirect is received. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-02-10inetpeer: Abstract address representation further.David S. Miller
Future changes will add caching information, and some of these new elements will be addresses. Since the family is implicit via the ->daddr.family member, replicating the family in ever address we store is entirely redundant. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-02-04inetpeer: Move ICMP rate limiting state into inet_peer entries.David S. Miller
Like metrics, the ICMP rate limiting bits are cached state about a destination. So move it into the inet_peer entries. If an inet_peer cannot be bound (the reason is memory allocation failure or similar), the policy is to allow. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-01-27inetpeer: Mark metrics as "new" in fresh inetpeer entries.David S. Miller
Set the RTAX_LOCKED metric to INETPEER_METRICS_NEW (basically, all ones) on fresh inetpeer entries. This way code can determine if default metrics have been loaded in from a routing table entry already. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-12-01inetpeer: Fix incorrect comment about inetpeer struct size.David S. Miller
Now with ipv6 support it is no longer less than 64 bytes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-11-30inetpeer: Add inet_getpeer_v6()David S. Miller
Now that all of the infrastructure is in place, we can add the ipv6 shorthand for peer creation. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-11-30inetpeer: Introduce inet_peer_address_t.David S. Miller
Currently only the v4 aspect is used, but this will change. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-10-27inetpeer: __rcu annotationsEric Dumazet
Adds __rcu annotations to inetpeer (struct inet_peer)->avl_left (struct inet_peer)->avl_right This is a tedious cleanup, but removes one smp_wmb() from link_to_pool() since we now use more self documenting rcu_assign_pointer(). Note the use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() instead of rcu_assign_pointer() in all cases we dont need a memory barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-06-16inetpeer: restore small inet_peer structuresEric Dumazet
Addition of rcu_head to struct inet_peer added 16bytes on 64bit arches. Thats a bit unfortunate, since old size was exactly 64 bytes. This can be solved, using an union between this rcu_head an four fields, that are normally used only when a refcount is taken on inet_peer. rcu_head is used only when refcnt=-1, right before structure freeing. Add a inet_peer_refcheck() function to check this assertion for a while. We can bring back SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN qualifier in kmem cache creation.

2010-06-15inetpeer: RCU conversionEric Dumazet
inetpeer currently uses an AVL tree protected by an rwlock. It's possible to make most lookups use RCU 1) Add a struct rcu_head to struct inet_peer 2) add a lookup_rcu_bh() helper to perform lockless and opportunistic lookup. This is a normal function, not a macro like lookup(). 3) Add a limit to number of links followed by lookup_rcu_bh(). This is needed in case we fall in a loop. 4) add an smp_wmb() in link_to_pool() right before node insert. 5) make unlink_from_pool() use atomic_cmpxchg() to make sure it can take last reference to an inet_peer, since lockless readers could increase refcount, even while we hold peers.lock. 6) Delay struct inet_peer freeing after rcu grace period so that lookup_rcu_bh() cannot crash. 7) inet_getpeer() first attempts lockless lookup. Note this lookup can fail even if target is in AVL tree, but a concurrent writer can let tree in a non correct form. If this attemps fails, lock is taken a regular lookup is performed again. 8) convert peers.lock from rwlock to a spinlock 9) Remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN when peer_cachep is created, because rcu_head adds 16 bytes on 64bit arches, doubling effective size (64 -> 128 bytes) In a future patch, this is probably possible to revert this part, if rcu field is put in an union to share space with rid, ip_id_count, tcp_ts & tcp_ts_stamp. These fields being manipulated only with refcnt > 0. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-11-13inetpeer: Optimize inet_getid()Eric Dumazet
While investigating for network latencies, I found inet_getid() was a contention point for some workloads, as inet_peer_idlock is shared by all inet_getid() users regardless of peers. One way to fix this is to make ip_id_count an atomic_t instead of __u16, and use atomic_add_return(). In order to keep sizeof(struct inet_peer) = 64 on 64bit arches tcp_ts_stamp is also converted to __u32 instead of "unsigned long".

2007-11-12[INET]: Use list_head-s in inetpeer.cPavel Emelyanov

2006-10-20[IPV4] inet_peer: Group together avl_left, avl_right, v4daddr to speedup ↵Eric Dumazet
lookups on some CPUS Lot of routers/embedded devices still use CPUS with 16/32 bytes cache lines. (486, Pentium, ... PIII) It makes sense to group together fields used at lookup time so they fit in one cache line. This reduce cache footprint and speedup lookups.

2006-10-15[NET]: reduce sizeof(struct inet_peer), cleanup, change in peer_check_expire()Eric Dumazet
1) shrink struct inet_peer on 64 bits platforms.
2006-09-28[IPV4]: inetpeer annotationsAl Viro
This one is interesting - we use net-endian value as search key, but order the tree by *host-endian* comparisons of keys. OK since we only care about lookups. Annotated inet_getpeer() and friends. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-01-03[IPV4]: Safer reassemblyHerbert Xu
Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch for 2.6.16. (The original patch is here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2 and my only contribution is to have tested it.) This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
