This patch adds a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this option should be sent even with unicast NAs. The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets. Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition (section 4.4, Target link-layer address) Signed-off-by:

Any reason for that? I just sent that patch out too quickly, here's a better one with the updates. Add support for IPv6 route lookups using sk_mark. Signed-off-by:

After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately. This should not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive. A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics. This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the components to be reset. Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of those requested, and must indicate the actual subset. This allows the use of generic component masks and some future expansion. Signed-off-by:

Thanks again [RFC] pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Don't report fake rate estimators We currently send TCA_STATS_RATE_EST elements to netlink users, even if no estimator is running. # tc -s -d qdisc qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Sent 112833764978 bytes 1495081739 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 User has no way to tell if the "rate 0bit 0pps" is a real estimation, or a fake one (because no estimator is active) After this patch, tc command output is : $ tc -s -d qdisc qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Sent 561075 bytes 1196 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 We add a parameter to gnet_stats_copy_rate_est() function so that it can use gen_estimator_active(bstats, r), as suggested by Jarek.

In some cases there is not desirable to switch back to primary interface when it's link recovers and rather stay with currently active one. We need to avoid packetloss as much as we can in some cases. This is solved by introducing primary_reselect option. Note that enslaved primary slave is set as current active no matter what. Patch modified by Jay Vosburgh as follows: fixed bug in action after change of option setting via sysfs, revised the documentation update, and bumped the bonding version number. Signed-off-by:

IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6 prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix. With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4. Original patch was done by Alexandre Cassen <acassen@freebox.fr> based on old Internet-Draft. Signed-off-by:

When routing daemon wants to enable forwarding of multicast traffic it performs something like: struct vifctl vc = { .vifc_vifi = 1, .vifc_flags = 0, .vifc_threshold = 1, .vifc_rate_limit = 0, .vifc_lcl_addr = ip, /* <--- ip address of physical interface, e.g. eth0 */ .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY), }; setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc)); This leads (in the kernel) to calling vif_add() function call which search the (physical) device using assigned IP address: dev = ip_dev_find(net, vifc->vifc_lcl_addr.s_addr); The current API (struct vifctl) does not allow to specify an interface other way than using it's IP, and if there are more than a single interface with specified IP only the first one will be found. The attached patch (against 2.6.30.4) allows to specify an interface by its index, instead of IP address: struct vifctl vc = { .vifc_vifi = 1, .vifc_flags = VIFF_USE_IFINDEX, /* NEW */ .vifc_threshold = 1, .vifc_rate_limit = 0, .vifc_lcl_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0"), /* NEW */ .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY), }; setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc)); Signed-off-by:Ilia K. <mail4ilia@gmail.com> === modified file 'include/linux/mroute.h' Signed-off-by:

Tilman Schmidt authored
In several places, capidrv sends a CAPI message to the ISDN device and then updates its internal state accordingly. If the response message from the device arrives before the state is updated, it may be rejected or processed incorrectly. Avoid these races by updating the state before emitting the message.

This is a fix for a bug which was a result of wrong use of checksum offload flag. The status of tx-checksumming was not changed from on to off after a 'ethtool -K <ifname> tx off' operation. Use the proper checksum offload flag NETIF_F_HW_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM. Patch is against net-2.6 tree. Signed-off-by:

An incoming datagram must bring into cpu cache *lot* of cache lines, in particular : (other parts omitted (hash chains, ip route cache...)) On 32bit arches : offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf) =0x30 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) =0x34 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_sleep) =0x50 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc) =0x64 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0x74 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x98 (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_callback_lock)=0xcc (rw) offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0xd8 (read if we add dropcount support, rw if frame dropped) offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter) =0xf8 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_socket) =0x138 (read) offsetof(struct sock, sk_data_ready) =0x15c (read) We can avoid sk->sk_socket and socket->fasync_list referencing on sockets with no fasync() structures. (socket->fasync_list ptr is probably already in cache because it shares a cache line with socket->wait, ie location pointed by sk->sk_sleep) This avoids one cache line load per incoming packet for common cases (no fasync()) We can leave (or even move in a future patch) sk->sk_socket in a cold location Signed-off-by:
