2007-10-10[PKT_SCHED]: Add stateless NATHerbert Xu
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.

2007-10-10[NET_SCHED]: explict hold dev tx lockJamal Hadi Salim
For N cpus, with full throttle traffic on all N CPUs, funneling traffic to the same ethernet device, the devices queue lock is contended by all N CPUs constantly. The TX lock is only contended by a max of 2 CPUS. In the current mode of operation, after all the work of entering the dequeue region, we may endup aborting the path if we are unable to get the tx lock and go back to contend for the queue lock. As N goes up, this gets worse. The changes in this patch result in a small increase in performance with a 4CPU (2xdual-core) with no irq binding.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim. Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra, Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan. [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.

2007-07-15[NET_SCHED]: act_api: qdisc internal reclassify supportPatrick McHardy
The behaviour of NET_CLS_POLICE for TC_POLICE_RECLASSIFY was to return it to the qdisc, which could handle it internally or ignore it. With NET_CLS_ACT however, tc_classify starts over at the first classifier and never returns it to the qdisc. This makes it impossible to support qdisc-internal reclassification, which in turn makes it impossible to remove the old NET_CLS_POLICE code without breaking compatibility since we have two qdiscs (CBQ and ATM) that support this. This patch adds a tc_classify_compat function that handles reclassification the old way and changes CBQ and ATM to use it. This again is of course not fully backwards compatible with the previous NET_CLS_ACT behaviour. Unfortunately there is no way to fully maintain compatibility *and* support qdisc internal reclassification with NET_CLS_ACT, but this seems like the better choice over keeping the two incompatible options around forever.

2007-07-10[NET]: qdisc_restart - couple of optimizations.Krishna Kumar
Changes : - netif_queue_stopped need not be called inside qdisc_restart as it has been called already in qdisc_run() before the first skb is sent, and in __qdisc_run() after each intermediate skb is sent (note : we are the only sender, so the queue cannot get stopped while the tx lock was got in the ~LLTX case). - BUG_ON((int) q->q.qlen < 0) was a relic from old times when -1 meant more packets are available, and __qdisc_run used to loop when qdisc_restart() returned -1. During those days, it was necessary to make sure that qlen is never less than zero, since __qdisc_run would get into an infinite loop if no packets are on the queue and this bug in qdisc was there (and worse - no more skbs could ever get queue'd as we hold the queue lock too). With Herbert's recent change to return values, this check is not required. Hopefully Herbert can validate this change. If at all this is required, it should be added to skb_dequeue (in failure case), and not to qdisc_qlen. Signed-off-by: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-07-10[NET]: qdisc_restart - readability changes plus one bug fix.Krishna Kumar
New changes : - Incorporated Peter Waskiewicz's comments. - Re-added back one warning message (on driver returning wrong value). Previous changes : - Converted to use switch/case code which looks neater. - "if (ret == NETDEV_TX_LOCKED && lockless)" is buggy, and the lockless check should be removed, since driver will return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED only if lockless is true and driver has to do the locking. In the original code as well as the latest code, this code can result in a bug where if LLTX is not set for a driver (lockless == 0) but the driver is written wrongly to do a trylock (despite LLTX being set), the driver returns LOCKED. But since lockless is zero, the packet is requeue'd instead of calling collision code which will issue warning and free up the skb. Instead this skb will be retried with this driver next time, and the same result will ensue. Removing this check will catch these driver bugs instead of hiding the problem. I am keeping this change to readability section since : a. it is confusing to check two things as it is; and b. it is difficult to keep this check in the changed 'switch' code. - Changed some names, like try_get_tx_pkt to dev_dequeue_skb (as that is the work being done and easier to understand) and do_dev_requeue to dev_requeue_skb, merged handle_dev_cpu_collision and tx_islocked to dev_handle_collision (handle_dev_cpu_collision is a small routine with only one caller, so there is no need to have two separate routines which also results in getting rid of two macros, etc. - Removed an XXX comment as it should never fail (I suspect this was related to batch skb WIP, Jamal ?). Converted some functions to original coding style of having the return values and the function name on same line, eg prio2list.

2007-05-10[NET_SCHED]: Avoid requeue warning on dev_deactivateHerbert Xu
When we relinquish queue_lock in qdisc_restart and then retake it for requeueing, we might race against dev_deactivate and end up requeueing onto noop_qdisc. This causes a warning to be printed. This patch fixes this by checking this before we requeue. As an added bonus, we can remove the same check in __qdisc_run which was added to prevent dev->gso_skb from being requeued when we're shutting down. Even though we've had to add a new conditional in its place, it's better because it only happens on requeues rather than every single time that qdisc_run is called. For this to work we also need to move the clearing of gso_skb up in dev_deactivate as now qdisc_restart can occur even after we wait for __LINK_STATE_QDISC_RUNNING to clear (but it won't do anything as long as the queue and gso_skb is already clear).

2007-05-10[NET_SCHED]: Rationalise return value of qdisc_restartHerbert Xu
The current return value scheme and associated comment was invented back in the 20th century when we still had that tbusy flag. Things have changed quite a bit since then (even Tony Blair is moving on now, not to mention the new French president). All we need to indicate now is whether the caller should continue processing the queue. Therefore it's sufficient if we return 0 if we want to stop and non-zero otherwise. This is based on a patch by Krishna Kumar. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-05-10[NET]: Fix dev->qdisc race for NETDEV_TX_LOCKED caseThomas Graf
When transmit fails with NETDEV_TX_LOCKED the skb is requeued to dev->qdisc again. The dev->qdisc pointer is protected by the queue lock which needs to be dropped when attempting to transmit and acquired again before requeing. The problem is that qdisc_restart() fetches the dev->qdisc pointer once and stores it in the `q' variable which is invalidated when dropping the queue_lock, therefore the variable needs to be refreshed before requeueing.

2007-05-03[NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3)Pavel Emelianov
Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using first_netdev()/next_netdev().
