ipv6: use a stronger hash for tcp

2013-02-28T14:32:27Z

[ Upstream commit 08dcdbf6a7b9d14c2302c5bd0c5390ddf122f664 ] 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.

ipv4: Save nexthop address of LSRR/SSRR option to IPCB.

2012-03-01T00:34:02Z

[ Upstream commit ac8a48106be49c422575ddc7531b776f8eb49610 ] We can not update iph->daddr in ip_options_rcv_srr(), It is too early. When some exception ocurred later (eg. in ip_forward() when goto sr_failed) we need the ip header be identical to the original one as ICMP need it. Add a field 'nexthop' in struct ip_options to save nexthop of LSRR or SSRR option. Signed-off-by: Li Wei Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

inet: Decrease overhead of on-stack inet_cork.

2011-05-06T22:37:57Z

When we fast path datagram sends to avoid locking by putting the inet_cork on the stack we use up lots of space that isn't necessary. This is because inet_cork contains a "struct flowi" which isn't used in these code paths. Split inet_cork to two parts, "inet_cork" and "inet_cork_full". Only the latter of which has the "struct flowi" and is what is stored in inet_sock. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Eric Dumazet

inet: add RCU protection to inet->opt

2011-04-28T20:16:35Z

We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options), without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt. Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us. Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt). Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying. We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new ip_options_rcu structure.

inet: Remove explicit write references to sk/inet in ip_append_data

2011-03-01T20:35:02Z

In order to allow simultaneous calls to ip_append_data on the same socket, it must not modify any shared state in sk or inet (other than those that are designed to allow that such as atomic counters). This patch abstracts out write references to sk and inet_sk in ip_append_data and its friends so that we may use the underlying code in parallel.

net: Pre-COW metrics for TCP.

2011-01-28T06:01:53Z

TCP is going to record metrics for the connection, so pre-COW the route metrics at route cache entry creation time. This avoids several atomic operations that have to occur if we COW the metrics after the entry reaches global visibility. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: optimize INET input path further

2010-12-10T04:05:58Z

Followup of commit b178bb3dfc30 (net: reorder struct sock fields) Optimize INET input path a bit further, by : 1) moving sk_refcnt close to sk_lock. This reduces number of dirtied cache lines by one on 64bit arches (and 64 bytes cache line size). 2) moving inet_daddr & inet_rcv_saddr at the beginning of sk (same cache line than hash / family / bound_dev_if / nulls_node) This reduces number of accessed cache lines in lookups by one, and dont increase size of inet and timewait socks. inet and tw sockets now share same place-holder for these fields. Before patch : offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x10 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x40 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x60 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x270 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x274 After patch : offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x44 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x48 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x68 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x0 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x4 compute_score() (udp or tcp) now use a single cache line per ignored item, instead of two.

igmp: RCU conversion of in_dev->mc_list

2010-11-12T21:18:57Z

in_dev->mc_list is protected by one rwlock (in_dev->mc_list_lock). This can easily be converted to a RCU protection. Writers hold RTNL, so mc_list_lock is removed, not replaced by a spinlock. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Cypher Wu Cc: Américo Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net - IP_NODEFRAG option for IPv4 socket

2010-06-23T20:16:38Z

this patch is implementing IP_NODEFRAG option for IPv4 socket. The reason is, there's no other way to send out the packet with user customized header of the reassembly part. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Make RFS socket operations not be inet specific.

2010-04-27T22:11:48Z

Idea from Eric Dumazet. As for placement inside of struct sock, I tried to choose a place that otherwise has a 32-bit hole on 64-bit systems. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Eric Dumazet
