Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to it

2011-06-12T21:45:41Z

* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory * new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns()) * ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by corresponding ->drop_ns(). For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the last reference has been dropped. Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns(). * old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead. * sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL. That fixes problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid of sb->s_instances abuse. Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup() is called exactly when it used to be called. The only thing postponed by having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of memory occupied by struct net. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

net: Add linux/sysctl.h includes where needed.

Several networking headers were depending upon the implicit linux/sysctl.h include they get when including linux/net.h Add explicit includes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Allow setting the network namespace by fd

2011-05-10T21:36:03Z

Take advantage of the new abstraction and allow network devices to be placed in any network namespace that we have a fd to talk about. Acked-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

ipvs: move struct netns_ipvs

2011-03-15T00:36:50Z

Remove include/net/netns/ip_vs.h because it depends on structures from include/net/ip_vs.h. As ipvs is pointer in struct net it is better to move struct netns_ipvs into include/net/ip_vs.h, so that we can easily use other structures in struct netns_ipvs. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

IPVS: netns, add basic init per netns.

2011-01-13T01:30:26Z

Preparation for network name-space init, in this stage some empty functions exists. In most files there is a check if it is root ns i.e. init_net if (!net_eq(net, &init_net)) return ... this will be removed by the last patch, when enabling name-space. *v3 ip_vs_conn.c merge error corrected. net_ipvs #ifdef removed as sugested by Jan Engelhardt [ horms@verge.net.au: Removed whitespace-change-only hunks ] Signed-off-by: Hans Schillstrom Acked-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

netns: reorder fields in struct net

2010-10-17T20:49:14Z

In a network bench, I noticed an unfortunate false sharing between 'loopback_dev' and 'count' fields in "struct net". 'count' is written each time a socket is created or destroyed, while loopback_dev might be often read in routing code. Move loopback_dev in a read mostly section of "struct net" Note: struct netns_xfrm is cache line aligned on SMP. (It contains a "struct dst_ops") Move it at the end to avoid holes, and reduce sizeof(struct net) by 128 bytes on ia32. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

nsproxy: remove INIT_NSPROXY()

2010-03-12T23:52:40Z

Remove INIT_NSPROXY(), use C99 initializer. Remove INIT_IPC_NS(), INIT_NET_NS() while I'm at it. Note: headers trim will be done later, now it's quite pointless because results will be invalidated by merge window.
