ipv6: get rid of __inet6_hash()

2015-03-19T02:00:35Z

We can now use inet_hash() and __inet_hash() instead of private functions. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: move INET6_MATCH() to include/net/inet6_hashtables.h

2014-11-05T21:59:04Z

It is only used in net/ipv6/inet6_hashtables.c. Cc: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: introduce tcp_v6_iif()

2014-10-18T03:48:07Z

Commit 971f10eca186 ("tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses") added a regression for SO_BINDTODEVICE on IPv6. This is because we still use inet6_iif() which expects that IP6 control block is still at the beginning of skb->cb[] This patch adds tcp_v6_iif() helper and uses it where necessary. Because __inet6_lookup_skb() is used by TCP and DCCP, we add an iif parameter to it.

ipv6: split inet6_ehashfn to hash functions per compilation unit

2013-10-19T23:45:34Z

This patch splits the inet6_ehashfn into separate ones in ipv6/inet6_hashtables.o and ipv6/udp.o to ease the introduction of seperate secrets keys later. Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: make lookups simpler and faster

2013-10-09T04:01:25Z

TCP listener refactoring, part 4 : To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct sock_common Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV. Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall). inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6 This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4, we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6, it's not doable easily. inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr at the same offset. We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic macro. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet*.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-21T18:01:38Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

ipv6: use a stronger hash for tcp

2013-02-21T23:15:58Z

It looks like its possible to open thousands of TCP IPv6 sessions on a server, all landing in a single slot of TCP hash table. Incoming packets have to lookup sockets in a very long list. We should hash all bits from foreign IPv6 addresses, using a salt and hash mix, not a simple XOR. inet6_ehashfn() can also separately use the ports, instead of xoring them.

soreuseport: TCP/IPv6 implementation

2013-01-23T18:44:01Z

Motivation for soreuseport would be something like a web server binding to port 80 running with multiple threads, where each thread might have it's own listener socket. This could be done as an alternative to other models: 1) have one listener thread which dispatches completed connections to workers. 2) accept on a single listener socket from multiple threads. In case #1 the listener thread can easily become the bottleneck with high connection turn-over rate. In case #2, the proportion of connections accepted per thread tends to be uneven under high connection load (assuming simple event loop: while (1) { accept(); process() }, wakeup does not promote fairness among the sockets. We have seen the disproportion to be as high as 3:1 ratio between thread accepting most connections and the one accepting the fewest. With so_reusport the distribution is uniform.
