netfilter: ipv6: nf_defrag: reduce struct net memory waste

2018-08-24T11:06:39Z

[ Upstream commit 9ce7bc036ae4cfe3393232c86e9e1fea2153c237 ] It is a waste of memory to use a full "struct netns_sysctl_ipv6" while only one pointer is really used, considering netns_sysctl_ipv6 keeps growing. Also, since "struct netns_frags" has cache line alignment, it is better to move the frags_hdr pointer outside, otherwise we spend a full cache line for this pointer. This saves 192 bytes of memory per netns.

ip6mr: Support fib notifications

2018-03-26T17:14:43Z

In similar fashion to ipmr, support fib notifications for ip6mr mfc and vif related events. This would later allow drivers to react to said notifications and offload the IPv6 mroutes. Signed-off-by: Yuval Mintz Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Replace ip_ra_lock with per-net mutex

2018-03-22T19:12:56Z

Since ra_chain is per-net, we may use per-net mutexes to protect them in ip_ra_control(). This improves scalability. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Make ip_ra_chain per struct net

2018-03-22T19:12:56Z

This is optimization, which makes ip_call_ra_chain() iterate less sockets to find the sockets it's looking for. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

udp: Move the udp sysctl to namespace.

2018-03-16T16:03:30Z

This patch moves the udp_rmem_min, udp_wmem_min to namespace and init the udp_l3mdev_accept explicitly. The udp_rmem_min/udp_wmem_min affect udp rx/tx queue, with this patch namespaces can set them differently. Signed-off-by: Tonghao Zhang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/ipv6: Add support for path selection using hash of 5-tuple

2018-03-04T18:04:23Z

Some operators prefer IPv6 path selection to use a standard 5-tuple hash rather than just an L3 hash with the flow the label. To that end add support to IPv6 for multipath hash policy similar to bf4e0a3db97eb ("net: ipv4: add support for ECMP hash policy choice"). The default is still L3 which covers source and destination addresses along with flow label and IPv6 protocol.

mroute*: Make mr_table a common struct

2018-03-01T18:13:23Z

Following previous changes to ip6mr, mr_table and mr6_table are basically the same [up to mr6_table having additional '6' suffixes to its variable names]. Move the common structure definition into a common header; This requires renaming all references in ip6mr to variables that had the distinct suffix.

ipv6: route: dissect flow in input path if fib rules need it

2018-03-01T03:44:44Z

Dissect flow in fwd path if fib rules require it. Controlled by a flag to avoid penatly for the common case. Flag is set when fib rules with sport, dport and proto match that require flow dissect are installed. Also passes the dissected hash keys to the multipath hash function when applicable to avoid dissecting the flow again. icmp packets will continue to use inner header for hash calculations.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree. Basically, a new extension for ip6tables, simplification work of nf_tables that saves us 500 LoC, allow raw table registration before defragmentation, conversion of the SNMP helper to use the ASN.1 code generator, unique 64-bit handle for all nf_tables objects and fixes to address fallout from previous nf-next batch. More specifically, they are: 1) Seven patches to remove family abstraction layer (struct nft_af_info) in nf_tables, this simplifies our codebase and it saves us 64 bytes per net namespace. 2) Add IPv6 segment routing header matching for ip6tables, from Ahmed Abdelsalam. 3) Allow to register iptable_raw table before defragmentation, some people do not want to waste cycles on defragmenting traffic that is going to be dropped, hence add a new module parameter to enable this behaviour in iptables and ip6tables. From Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan. This patch needed a couple of follow up patches to get things tidy from Arnd Bergmann. 4) SNMP helper uses the ASN.1 code generator, from Taehee Yoo. Several patches for this helper to prepare this change are also part of this patch series. 5) Add 64-bit handles to uniquely objects in nf_tables, from Harsha Sharma. 6) Remove log message that several netfilter subsystems print at boot/load time. 7) Restore x_tables module autoloading, that got broken in a previous patch to allow singleton NAT hook callback registration per hook spot, from Florian Westphal. Moreover, return EBUSY to report that the singleton NAT hook slot is already in instead. 8) Several fixes for the new nf_tables flowtable representation, including incorrect error check after nf_tables_flowtable_lookup(), missing Kconfig dependencies that lead to build breakage and missing initialization of priority and hooknum in flowtable object. 9) Missing NETFILTER_FAMILY_ARP dependency in Kconfig for the clusterip target. This is due to recent updates in the core to shrink the hook array size and compile it out if no specific family is enabled via .config file. Patch from Florian Westphal. 10) Remove duplicated include header files, from Wei Yongjun. 11) Sparse warning fix for the NFPROTO_INET handling from the core due to missing static function definition, also from Wei Yongjun. 12) Restore ICMPv6 Parameter Problem error reporting when defragmentation fails, from Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan. 13) Remove obsolete owner field initialization from struct file_operations, patch from Alexey Dobriyan. 14) Use boolean datatype where needed in the Netfilter codebase, from Gustavo A. R. Silva. 15) Remove double semicolon in dynset nf_tables expression, from Luis de Bethencourt. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
