2012-07-05net: Do delayed neigh confirmation.David S. Miller
When a dst_confirm() happens, mark the confirmation as pending in the dst. Then on the next packet out, when we have the neigh in-hand, do the update. This removes the dependency in dst_confirm() of dst's having an attached neigh. While we're here, remove the explicit 'dst' NULL check, all except 2 or 3 call sites ensure it's not NULL. So just fix those cases up. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-05-27ipv6: fix incorrect ipsec fragmentGao feng
Since commit ad0081e43a "ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed" the fragment of packets is incorrect. because tunnel mode needs IPsec headers and trailer for all fragments, while on transport mode it is sufficient to add the headers to the first fragment and the trailer to the last. so modify mtu and maxfraglen base on ipsec mode and if fragment is first or last. with my test,it work well(every fragment's size is the mtu) and does not trigger slow fragment path. Changes from v1: though optimization, mtu_prev and maxfraglen_prev can be delete. replace xfrm mode codes with dst_entry's new frag DST_XFRM_TUNNEL. add fuction ip6_append_data_mtu to make codes clearer.

2012-04-13ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cacheGao feng
If the ipv6 dst cache which copy from the dst generated by ICMPV6 RA packet. this dst cache will not check expire because it has no RTF_EXPIRES flag. So this dst cache will always be used until the dst gc run. Change the struct dst_entry,add a union contains new pointer from and expires. When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use. we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from. The dst.from is only used in IPV6. rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired. ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort. ip6_dst_destroy release the ort. Add some functions to operate the RTF_EXPIRES flag and expires(from) together. and change the code to use these new adding functions. Changes from v5: modify ip6_route_add and ndisc_router_discovery to use new adding functions. Only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just expecting it to be implicitly present.

Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir(). It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr dereference. Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can safely use a neighbour. Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir() can be called safely by different cpus in parallel. As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects) Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the bug.

2011-07-02ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.David S. Miller
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-01-27net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.David S. Miller
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write. Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location. If a routing table entry exists, it will point there. Else it will point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'. The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store more states. For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc. However future enhancements will change this to place the writable metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing. Very likely this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache. Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail if we cannot COW the metrics successfully. But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and increase cache locality especially for routing workloads. In those cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written to. TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit. But that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics move to a more sharable location. Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout was necessary. Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state, as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks. The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into the writeable cacheline. This is OK since we are always accessing the flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the reference count. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Make all RTAX_ADVMSS metric accesses go through a new helper function, dst_metric_advmss(). Leave the actual default metric as "zero" in the real metric slot, and compute the actual default value dynamically via a new dst_ops AF specific callback. For stacked IPSEC routes, we use the advmss of the path which preserves existing behavior. Unlike ipv4/ipv6, DecNET ties the advmss to the mtu and thus updates advmss on pmtu updates. This inconsistency in advmss handling results in more raw metric accesses than I wish we ended up with. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-12-13ipv4: Don't pre-seed hoplimit metric.David S. Miller
Always go through a new ip4_dst_hoplimit() helper, just like ipv6. This allowed several simplifications: 1) The interim dst_metric_hoplimit() can go as it's no longer userd. 2) The sysctl_ip_default_ttl entry no longer needs to use ipv4_doint_and_flush, since the sysctl is not cached in routing cache metrics any longer. 3) ipv4_doint_and_flush no longer needs to be exported and therefore can be marked static. When ipv4_doint_and_flush_strategy was removed some time ago, the external declaration in ip.h was mistakenly left around so kill that off too. We have to move the sysctl_ip_default_ttl declaration into ipv4's route cache definition header net/route.h, because currently net/ip.h (where the declaration lives now) has a back dependency on net/route.h Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-04net: introduce DST_NOCACHE flagEric Dumazet
While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in neighbour code. When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test()) But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock. Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not inserted in route cache. With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour, results are : Before patch: real 2m28.406s user 0m11.781s sys 36m17.964s After patch: real 1m26.532s user 0m12.185s sys 20m3.903s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if !IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue(). Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb(). Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it later to do one dirtying per jiffies.

2010-04-13net: sk_dst_cache RCUificationEric Dumazet
With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this work. sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock) This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU again :) This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers. __sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check() condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk)) This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets, for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.
