2011-06-09rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump sizeGreg Rose
The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

2010-10-05net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counterEric Dumazet
In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we drop it before it enters protocol stack : - softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat) - bad vlan tag (not accounted) - unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted) We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level, and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev) This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped accounting), thus reverting it.

2010-06-07ipmr: dont corrupt listsEric Dumazet
ipmr_rules_exit() and ip6mr_rules_exit() free a list of items, but forget to properly remove these items from list. List head is not changed and still points to freed memory. This can trigger a fault later when icmpv6_sk_exit() is called. Fix is to either reinit list, or use list_del() to properly remove items from list before freeing them. bugzilla report : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16120 Introduced by commit d1db275dd3f6e4 (ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tables) and commit f0ad0860d01e (ipv4: ipmr: support multiple tables) Reported-by: Alex Zhavnerchik <alex.vizor@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-05-11ipv6: ip6mr: add support for dumping routing tables over netlinkPatrick McHardy
The ip6mr /proc interface (ip6_mr_cache) can't be extended to dump routes from any tables but the main table in a backwards compatible fashion since the output format ends in a variable amount of output interfaces. Introduce a new netlink interface to dump multicast routes from all tables, similar to the netlink interface for regular routes. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2010-05-11ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tablesPatrick McHardy
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances, named "tables". Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(), getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT) is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for compatibility reasons. Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules, similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported additionally. Example usage: - bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table: uint32_t table = 123; setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table)); - create routing rules directing packets to the new table: # ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123 # ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-05-11ipv6: ip6mr: move unres_queue and timer to per-namespace dataPatrick McHardy
The unres_queue is currently shared between all namespaces. Following patches will additionally allow to create multiple multicast routing tables in each namespace. Having a single shared queue for all these users seems to excessive, move the queue and the cleanup timer to the per-namespace data to unshare it. As a side-effect, this fixes a bug in the seq file iteration functions: the first entry returned is always from the current namespace, entries returned after that may belong to any namespace.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-19net: ipmr/ip6mr: fix potential out-of-bounds vif_table accessPatrick McHardy
mfc_parent of cache entries is used to index into the vif_table and is initialised from mfcctl->mfcc_parent. This can take values of to 2^16-1, while the vif_table has only MAXVIFS (32) entries. The same problem affects ip6mr. Refuse invalid values to fix a potential out-of-bounds access. Unlike the other validity checks, this is checked in ipmr_mfc_add() instead of the setsockopt handler since its unused in the delete path and might be uninitialized.

2009-10-18inet: rename some inet_sock fieldsEric Dumazet
In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch. Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt to a separate cache line (only written by rx path) This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr, sport and id fields.

This patch addresses the IPv6 multicast routing issues described below. It was tested with XORP 1.4/1.5 as the IPv6 PIM-SM routing daemon against FreeBSD peers. net/ipv6/ip6_input.c: - Don't try to forward link-local multicast packets. - Don't reset skb2->dev before calling ip6_mr_input() so packets can be identified as coming from the PIM register vif properly. net/ipv6/ip6mr.c: - Fix incoming PIM register messages processing: * The IPv6 pseudo-header should be included when checksumming PIM messages (RFC 4601 section 4.9; RFC 3973 section 4.7.1). * Packets decapsulated from PIM register messages should have skb->protocol ETH_P_IPV6. - Enable/disable IPv6 multicast forwarding on the corresponding interface when a routing daemon adds/removes a multicast virtual interface. - Remove incorrect skb_pull() to fix userspace signaling. - Enable/disable global IPv6 multicast forwarding when an IPv6 multicast routing socket is opened/closed. net/ipv6/route.c: - Don't use strict routing logic for packets decapsulated from PIM register messages (similar to disabling rp_filter for the IPv4 case).

2008-12-10netns: ip6mr: enable namespace support in ipv6 multicast forwarding codeBenjamin Thery
This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the network namespace where needed in IPv6 multicast forwarding code. This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or mfc6_caches depending on the routines' contexts. Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current netns: * ip6mr_get_route * ip6mr_cache_report * ip6mr_cache_find * ip6mr_cache_unresolved * mif6_add/mif6_delete * ip6mr_mfc_add/ip6mr_mfc_delete * ip6mr_reg_vif All the IPv6 multicast forwarding variables moved to struct netns_ipv6 by the previous patches are now referenced in the correct namespace. Changelog: ========== * Take into account the net associated to mfc6_cache when matching entries in mfc_unres_queue list. * Call mroute_clean_tables() in ip6mr_net_exit() to free memory allocated per-namespace. * Call dev_net_set() in ip6mr_reg_vif() to initialize dev->nd_net correctly.

Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in struct mfc6_cache. Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration. In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch.

2008-12-03net: /proc/net/ip_mr_cache, display Iif as a signed shortBenjamin Thery
Today, iproute2 fails to show multicast forwarding unresolved cache entries while scanning /proc/net/ip_mr_cache. Indeed, it expects to see -1 in 'Iif' column to identify unresolved entries but the kernel outputs 65535. It's a signed/unsigned issue: 'Iif', the source interface, is retrieved from member mfc_parent in struct mfc_cache. mfc_parent is a vifi_t: unsigned short, but is displayed in ipmr_mfc_seq_show() as "%-3d", signed integer. In unresolevd entries, the 65535 value (0xFFFF) comes from this define: #define ALL_VIFS ((vifi_t)(-1)) That may explains why the guy who added support for this in iproute2 thought a -1 should be expected. I don't know if this must be fixed in kernel or in iproute2. Who is right? What is the correct API? How was it designed originally? I let you decide if it should goes in the kernel or be fixed in iproute2. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
