Compiler is not smart enough to avoid double BSWAP instructions in ntohl(inet_make_mask(plen)). Lets cache this value in struct leaf_info, (fill a hole on 64bit arches) With route cache disabled, this saves ~2% of cpu in udpflood bench on x86_64 machine.

2011-06-29netfilter: Fix ip_route_me_harder triggering ip_rt_bugJulian Anastasov
Avoid creating input routes with ip_route_me_harder. It does not work for locally generated packets. Instead, restrict sockets to provide valid saddr for output route (or unicast saddr for transparent proxy). For other traffic allow saddr to be unicast or local but if callers forget to check saddr type use 0 for the output route. The resulting handling should be: - REJECT TCP: - in INPUT we can provide addr_type = RTN_LOCAL but better allow rejecting traffic delivered with local route (no IP address => use RTN_UNSPEC to allow also RTN_UNICAST). - FORWARD: RTN_UNSPEC => allow RTN_LOCAL/RTN_UNICAST saddr, add fix to ignore RTN_BROADCAST and RTN_MULTICAST - OUTPUT: RTN_UNSPEC - NAT, mangle, ip_queue, nf_ip_reroute: RTN_UNSPEC in LOCAL_OUT - IPVS: - use RTN_LOCAL in LOCAL_OUT and FORWARD after SNAT to restrict saddr to be local Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-28ipv4: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problemSteffen Klassert
ip_append_data() builds packets based on the mtu from dst_mtu(rt->dst.path). On IPsec the effective mtu is lower because we need to add the protocol headers and trailers later when we do the IPsec transformations. So after the IPsec transformations the packet might be too big, which leads to a slowpath fragmentation then. This patch fixes this by building the packets based on the lower IPsec mtu from dst_mtu(&rt->dst) and adapts the exthdr handling to this.

2011-06-28ipv4: Fix packet size calculation in __ip_append_dataSteffen Klassert
Git commit 59104f06 (ip: take care of last fragment in ip_append_data) added a check to see if we exceed the mtu when we add trailer_len. However, the mtu is already subtracted by the trailer length when the xfrm transfomation bundles are set up. So IPsec packets with mtu size get fragmented, or if the DF bit is set the packets will not be send even though they match the mtu perfectly fine. This patch actually reverts commit 59104f06.

2011-06-22udp/recvmsg: Clear MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packetXufeng Zhang
Consider this scenario: When the size of the first received udp packet is bigger than the receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC bit is set in msg->msg_flags. However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will goto try_again loop to receive the next packet. But if the size of the next udp packet is smaller than receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC flag should not be set, but because MSG_TRUNC bit is not cleared in msg->msg_flags before receive the next packet, MSG_TRUNC is still set, which is wrong. Fix this problem by clearing MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packet.

By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the process. These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue, netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP header instead.

2011-06-11snmp: reduce percpu needs by 50%Eric Dumazet
SNMP mibs use two percpu arrays, one used in BH context, another in USER context. With increasing number of cpus in machines, and fact that ipv6 uses per network device ipstats_mib, this is consuming a lot of memory if many network devices are registered. commit be281e554e2a (ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes) shrinked percpu needs for ipv6, but we can reduce memory use a bit more. With recent percpu infrastructure (irqsafe_cpu_inc() ...), we no longer need this BH/USER separation since we can update counters in a single x86 instruction, regardless of the BH/USER context. Other arches than x86 might need to disable irq in their irqsafe_cpu_inc() implementation : If this happens to be a problem, we can make SNMP_ARRAY_SZ arch dependent, but a previous poll ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/17/174 ) to arch maintainers did not raise strong opposition. Only on 32bit arches, we need to disable BH for 64bit counters updates done from USER context (currently used for IP MIB) This also reduces vmlinux size : 1) x86_64 build $ size vmlinux.before vmlinux.after text data bss dec hex filename 7853650 1293772 1896448 11043870 a8841e vmlinux.before 7850578 1293772 1896448 11040798 a8781e vmlinux.after 2) i386 build $ size vmlinux.before vmlinux.afterpatch text data bss dec hex filename 6039335 635076 3670016 10344427 9dd7eb vmlinux.before 6037342 635076 3670016 10342434 9dd022 vmlinux.afterpatch Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> CC: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> CC: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> CC: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> CC: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org CC: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-09ipv4: Fix packet size calculation for raw IPsec packets in __ip_append_dataSteffen Klassert
We assume that transhdrlen is positive on the first fragment which is wrong for raw packets. So we don't add exthdrlen to the packet size for raw packets. This leads to a reallocation on IPsec because we have not enough headroom on the skb to place the IPsec headers.

2011-06-09inetpeer: remove unused listEric Dumazet
Andi Kleen and Tim Chen reported huge contention on inetpeer unused_peers.lock, on memcached workload on a 40 core machine, with disabled route cache. It appears we constantly flip peers refcnt between 0 and 1 values, and we must insert/remove peers from unused_peers.list, holding a contended spinlock. Remove this list completely and perform a garbage collection on-the-fly, at lookup time, using the expired nodes we met during the tree traversal. This removes a lot of code, makes locking more standard, and obsoletes two sysctls (inet_peer_gc_mintime and inet_peer_gc_maxtime). This also removes two pointers in inet_peer structure. There is still a false sharing effect because refcnt is in first cache line of object [were the links and keys used by lookups are located], we might move it at the end of inet_peer structure to let this first cache line mostly read by cpus.

2011-06-09tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open sideJerry Chu
This patch lowers the default initRTO from 3secs to 1sec per RFC2988bis. It falls back to 3secs if the SYN or SYN-ACK packet has been retransmitted, AND the TCP timestamp option is not on. It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive open side, just like its active open counterpart, and uses it, if valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase. The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the beginning of the data transmission phase, and reduces cwnd to 1 if there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.
