2011-05-13ipv4: Always call ip_options_build() after rest of IP header is filled in.David S. Miller
This will allow ip_options_build() to reliably look at the values of iph->{daddr,saddr} Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-05-10ipv4: Pass explicit daddr arg to ip_send_reply().David S. Miller
This eliminates an access to rt->rt_src. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-05-09ipv4: Pass flow key down into ip_append_*().David S. Miller
This way rt->rt_dst accesses are unnecessary. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-05-09ipv4: Pass flow keys down into datagram packet building engine.David S. Miller
This way ip_output.c no longer needs rt->rt_{src,dst}. We already have these keys sitting, ready and waiting, on the stack or in a socket structure. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-05-08ipv4: Don't use rt->rt_{src,dst} in ip_queue_xmit().David S. Miller
Now we can pick it out of the provided flow key. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-05-08inet: Pass flowi to ->queue_xmit().David S. Miller
This allows us to acquire the exact route keying information from the protocol, however that might be managed. It handles all of the possibilities, from the simplest case of storing the key in inet->cork.fl to the more complex setup SCTP has where individual transports determine the flow. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-05-08ipv4: Use cork flow in ip_queue_xmit()David S. Miller
All invokers of ip_queue_xmit() must make certain that the socket is locked. All of SCTP, TCP, DCCP, and L2TP now make sure this is the case. Therefore we can use the cork flow during output route lookup in ip_queue_xmit() when the socket route check fails. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-05-06ipv4: Initialize on-stack cork more efficiently.David S. Miller
ip_setup_cork() explicitly initializes every member of inet_cork except flags, addr, and opt. So we can simply set those three members to zero instead of using a memset() via an empty struct assignment. Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-05-06inet: Decrease overhead of on-stack inet_cork.David S. Miller
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 <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>
2011-05-04ipv4: In ip_build_and_send_pkt() use 'saddr' and 'daddr' args passed in.David S. Miller
Instead of rt->rt_{dst,src} The only tricky part is source route option handling. If the source route option is enabled we can't just use plain 'daddr', we have to use opt->opt.faddr. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-05-04ipv4: Make caller provide on-stack flow key to ip_route_output_ports().David S. Miller

2011-04-28inet: add RCU protection to inet->optEric Dumazet
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.

2011-03-12net: Make flowi ports AF dependent.David S. Miller
Create two sets of port member accessors, one set prefixed by fl4_* and the other prefixed by fl6_* This will let us to create AF optimal flow instances.

2011-03-12net: Put flowi_* prefix on AF independent members of struct flowiDavid S. Miller
I intend to turn struct flowi into a union of AF specific flowi structs. There will be a common structure that each variant includes first, much like struct sock_common. This is the first step to move in that direction. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-03-01inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skbHerbert Xu
This patch adds the helper ip_make_skb which is like ip_append_data and ip_push_pending_frames all rolled into one, except that it does not send the skb produced. The sending part is carried out by ip_send_skb, which the transport protocol can call after it has tweaked the skb. It is meant to be called in cases where corking is not used should have a one-to-one correspondence to sendmsg. This patch also adds the helper ip_finish_skb which is meant to be replace ip_push_pending_frames when corking is required. Previously the protocol stack would peek at the socket write queue and add its header to the first packet. With ip_finish_skb, the protocol stack can directly operate on the final skb instead, just like the non-corking case with ip_make_skb.

2011-03-01inet: Remove explicit write references to sk/inet in ip_append_dataHerbert Xu
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.

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.

2010-09-24ip: take care of last fragment in ip_append_dataEric Dumazet
While investigating a bit, I found ip_fragment() slow path was taken because ip_append_data() provides following layout for a send(MTU + N*(MTU - 20)) syscall : - one skb with 1500 (mtu) bytes - N fragments of 1480 (mtu-20) bytes (before adding IP header) last fragment gets 17 bytes of trail data because of following bit: if (datalen == length + fraggap) alloclen += rt->dst.trailer_len; Then esp4 adds 16 bytes of data (while trailer_len is 17... hmm... another bug ?) In ip_fragment(), we notice last fragment is too big (1496 + 20) > mtu, so we take slow path, building another skb chain. In order to avoid taking slow path, we should correct ip_append_data() to make sure last fragment has real trail space, under mtu...

2010-09-21ip: fix truesize mismatch in ip fragmentationEric Dumazet
Special care should be taken when slow path is hit in ip_fragment() : When walking through frags, we transfert truesize ownership from skb to frags. Then if we hit a slow_path condition, we must undo this or risk uncharging frags->truesize twice, and in the end, having negative socket sk_wmem_alloc counter, or even freeing socket sooner than expected. Many thanks to Nick Bowler, who provided a very clean bug report and test program. Thanks to Jarek for reviewing my first patch and providing a V2 While Nick bisection pointed to commit 2b85a34e911 (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx), underlying bug is older (2.6.12-rc5) A side effect is to extend work done in commit b2722b1c3a893e (ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a socket) to ipv6 as well.

2010-08-23net: Rename skb_has_frags to skb_has_frag_listDavid S. Miller
SKBs can be "fragmented" in two ways, via a page array (called skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]) and via a list of SKBs (called skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list). Since skb_has_frags() tests the latter, it's name is confusing since it sounds more like it's testing the former. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

It has been reported that the new UFO software fallback path fails under certain conditions with NFS. I tracked the problem down to the generation of UFO packets that are smaller than the MTU.

PPPoE traffic The MTU for IP traffic encapsulated inside PPPoE traffic is smaller than the MTU of the Ethernet device (1500). Connection tracking gathers all IP packets and sometimes will refragment them in ip_fragment(). We then need to subtract the length of the encapsulating header from the mtu used in ip_fragment(). The check in br_nf_dev_queue_xmit() which determines if ip_fragment() has to be called is also updated for the PPPoE-encapsulated packets. nf_bridge_copy_header() is also updated to make sure the PPPoE data length field has the correct value.
