2012-01-04ipv6/addrconf: speedup /proc/net/if_inet6 fillingMihai Maruseac
This ensures a linear behaviour when filling /proc/net/if_inet6 thus making ifconfig run really fast on IPv6 only addresses. In fact, with this patch and the IPv4 one sent a while ago, ifconfig will run in linear time regardless of address type. IPv4 related patch: f04565ddf52e401880f8ba51de0dff8ba51c99fd dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops ...

2012-01-04ipv6: Check RA for sllao when configuring optimistic ipv6 address (v2)Neil Horman
Recently Dave noticed that a test we did in ipv6_add_addr to see if we next hop route for the interface we're adding an addres to was wrong (see commit 7ffbcecbeed91e5874e9a1cfc4c0cbb07dac3069). for one, it never triggers, and two, it was completely wrong to begin with. This test was meant to cover this section of RFC 4429: 3.3 Modifications to RFC 2462 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration * (modifies section 5.5) A host MAY choose to configure a new address as an Optimistic Address. A host that does not know the SLLAO of its router SHOULD NOT configure a new address as Optimistic. A router SHOULD NOT configure an Optimistic Address. This patch should bring us into proper compliance with the above clause. Since we only add a SLAAC address after we've received a RA which may or may not contain a source link layer address option, we can pass a pointer to that option to addrconf_prefix_rcv (which may be null if the option is not present), and only set the optimistic flag if the option was found in the RA. Change notes: (v2) modified the new parameter to addrconf_prefix_rcv to be a bool rather than a pointer to make its use more clear as per request from davem.

2012-01-04net_sched: sfq: always randomize hash perturbationEric Dumazet
SFQ q->perturbation is used in sfq_hash() as an input to Jenkins hash. We currently randomize this 32bit value only if a perturbation timer is setup. Its much better to always initialize it to defeat attackers, or else they can predict very well what kind of packets they have to forge to hit a particular flow.

Define special location values for RX NFC that request the driver to select the actual rule location. This allows for implementation on devices that use hash-based filter lookup, whereas currently the API is more suited to devices with TCAM lookup or linear search. In ethtool_set_rxnfc() and the compat wrapper ethtool_ioctl(), copy the structure back to user-space after insertion so that the actual location is returned.

2012-01-03sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of flowsEric Dumazet
SFQ enqueue algo puts a new flow _behind_ all pre-existing flows in the circular list. In fact this is probably an old SFQ implementation bug. 100 Mbits = ~8333 full frames per second, or ~8 frames per ms. With 50 flows, it means your "new flow" will have to wait 50 packets being sent before its own packet. Thats the ~6ms. We certainly can change SFQ to give a priority advantage to new flows, so that next dequeued packet is taken from a new flow, not an old one.

2011-12-30netem: fix classful handlingEric Dumazet
Commit 10f6dfcfde (Revert "sch_netem: Remove classful functionality") reintroduced classful functionality to netem, but broke basic netem behavior : netem uses an t(ime)fifo queue, and store timestamps in skb->cb[] If qdisc is changed, time constraints are not respected and other qdisc can destroy skb->cb[] and block netem at dequeue time. Fix this by always using internal tfifo, and optionally attach a child qdisc to netem (or a tree of qdiscs) Example of use : DEV=eth3 tc qdisc del dev $DEV root tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 30: est 1sec 8sec netem delay 20ms 10ms tc qdisc add dev $DEV handle 40:0 parent 30:0 tbf \ burst 20480 limit 20480 mtu 1514 rate 32000bps qdisc netem 30: root refcnt 18 limit 1000 delay 20.0ms 10.0ms Sent 190792 bytes 413 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 18416bit 3pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 qdisc tbf 40: parent 30: rate 256000bit burst 20Kb/8 mpu 0b lat 0us Sent 190792 bytes 413 pkt (dropped 6, overlimits 10 requeues 0) backlog 0b 5p requeues 0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-12-30IPv6: Avoid taking write lock for /proc/net/ipv6_routeJosh Hunt
During some debugging I needed to look into how /proc/net/ipv6_route operated and in my digging I found its calling fib6_clean_all() which uses "write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock)" before doing the walk of the table. I found this on 2.6.32, but reading the code I believe the same basic idea exists currently. Looking at the rtnetlink code they are only calling "read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);" via fib6_dump_table(). While I realize reading from proc isn't the recommended way of fetching the ipv6 route table; taking a write lock seems unnecessary and would probably cause network performance issues. To verify this I loaded up the ipv6 route table and then ran iperf in 3 cases: * doing nothing * reading ipv6 route table via proc (while :; do cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /dev/null; done) * reading ipv6 route table via rtnetlink (while :; do ip -6 route show table all > /dev/null; done) * Load the ipv6 route table up with: * for ((i = 0;i < 4000;i++)); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done * iperf commands: * client: iperf -i 1 -V -c <ipv6 addr> * server: iperf -V -s * iperf results - 3 runs each (in Mbits/sec) * nothing: client: 927,927,927 server: 927,927,927 * proc: client: 179,97,96,113 server: 142,112,133 * iproute: client: 928,927,928 server: 927,927,927 lock_stat shows taking the write lock is causing the slowdown. Using this info I decided to write a version of fib6_clean_all() which replaces write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock) with read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock). With this new function I see the same results as with my rtnetlink iperf test. Signed-off-by: Josh Hunt <joshhunt00@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
