2009-08-13inet6: Conversion from u8 to intGerrit Renker
This replaces assignments of the type "int on LHS" = "u8 on RHS" with simpler code. The LHS can express all of the unsigned right hand side values, hence the assigned value can not be negative. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-06-11net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each txEric Dumazet
One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet. This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces. We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example), where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles. We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing is delayed until all tx packets are completed. As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called. Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc) to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets are in flight. skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc reached 0 to perform the final freeing. Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket. Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.

2008-02-13[IPV6]: Fix IPsec datagram fragmentationHerbert Xu
This is a long-standing bug in the IPsec IPv6 code that breaks when we emit a IPsec tunnel-mode datagram packet. The problem is that the code the emits the packet assumes the IPv6 stack will fragment it later, but the IPv6 stack assumes that whoever is emitting the packet is going to pre-fragment the packet. In the long term we need to fix both sides, e.g., to get the datagram code to pre-fragment as well as to get the IPv6 stack to fragment locally generated tunnel-mode packet. For now this patch does the second part which should make it work for the IPsec host case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-01-28[NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network ↵Eric W. Biederman
namespaces I'm actually surprised at how much was involved. At first glance it appears that the neighbour table data structures are already split by network device so all that should be needed is to modify the user interface commands to filter the set of neighbours by the network namespace of their devices. However a couple things turned up while I was reading through the code. The proxy neighbour table allows entries with no network device, and the neighbour parms are per network device (except for the defaults) so they now need a per network namespace default. So I updated the two structures (which surprised me) with their very own network namespace parameter. Updated the relevant lookup and destroy routines with a network namespace parameter and modified the code that interacts with users to filter out neighbour table entries for devices of other namespaces. I'm a little concerned that we can modify and display the global table configuration and from all network namespaces. But this appears good enough for now. I keep thinking modifying the neighbour table to have per network namespace instances of each table type would should be cleaner. The hash table is already dynamically sized so there are it is not a limiter. The default parameter would be straight forward to take care of. However when I look at the how the network table is built and used I still find some assumptions that there is only a single neighbour table for each type of table in the kernel. The netlink operations, neigh_seq_start, the non-core network users that call neigh_lookup. So while it might be doable it would require more refactoring than my current approach of just doing a little extra filtering in the code. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
