Need this to fix build of fib_trie in net-2.6.16 (rebased) tree. The code needs the new inet_make_mask inline. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

One of the conversions from memcmp to compare_ether_addr is incorrect. We need to do relative comparison to determine min MAC address to use in bridge id. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The CCID should be notified of packet reception only when a packet is valid. Therefore, the ACK vector needs to be processed before notifying the CCID. Also, the CCID might need information provided by the ACK vector.

If ACK vectors are used, each packet with an ACK should contain an ACK vector. The only exception currently is response packets. It probably is not a good idea to store ACK vector state before the connection is completed (to help protect from syn floods).

When packets are received, the connection is either in DCCP_OPEN [fast-path] or it isn't. If it's not [e.g. DCCP_PARTOPEN] upper layers will perform sanity checks and parse options. If it is in DCCP_OPEN, dccp_rcv_established() will do it. It is important not to re-parse options in dccp_rcv_established() when it is not called from the fast-path. Else, fore example, the ack vector will be added twice and the CCID will see the packet twice. The solution is to always enfore sanity checks from the upper layers. When packets arrive in the fast-path, sanity checks will be performed before calling dccp_rcv_established(). Note(acme): I rewrote the patch to achieve the same result but keeping dccp_rcv_established with the previous semantics and having it split into __dccp_rcv_established, that doesn't does do any sanity check, code in state != DCCP_OPEN use this lighter version as they already do the sanity checks.

The attached patch makes DECnet routing only use routers from the same area - rather than the highest rated router seen. In theory there should not be an out-of-area router on a local network but some networks are bridged rather than properly routed. VMS seems to behave similarly: if I bring up a VMS node with no router then it can't see anything else on the global network.

From: Roberto Nibali <ratz@drugphish.ch> The attached patch (against current -GIT) is a cleanup patch which does following: o lookup debug messages shifted back to 9 o added more informational value to flags and refcnt since those entries can be in multiple referenced structures o cleanup 80 char violation It's the prepatch to the session pool implementation and helps very much to debug and monitor important variables and structures regarding the threshold limitation and persistency without the thousands of lookup messages which noone is interested in.

Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default fallback in their ioctl implementations. This patch adds a fallback to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD. This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't need to export dev_ioctl.

From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> In af_unix, a rwlock is used to protect internal state. At least on my P4 with HT it is faster to use a spinlock due to the simpler memory barrier used to unlock. This patch raises bw_unix to ~690K/s. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> In __alloc_skb(), the use of skb_shinfo() which casts a u8 * to the shared info structure results in gcc being forced to do a reload of the pointer since it has no information on possible aliasing. Fix this by using a pointer to refer to skb_shared_info. By initializing skb_shared_info sequentially, the write combining buffers can reduce the number of memory transactions to a single write. Reorder the initialization in __alloc_skb() to match the structure definition. There is also an alignment issue on 64 bit systems with skb_shared_info by converting nr_frags to a short everything packs up nicely. Also, pass the slab cache pointer according to the fclone flag instead of using two almost identical function calls. This raises bw_unix performance up to a peak of 707KB/s when combined with the spinlock patch. It should help other networking protocols, too. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Mid-term I plan to restructure the file_operations so that we don't need to have all these duplicate aio and vectored versions. This patch is a small step in that direction but also a worthwile cleanup on it's own: (1) introduce a alloc_sock_iocb helper that encapsulates allocating a proper sock_iocb (2) add do_sock_read and do_sock_write helpers for common read/write code Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

static variables should not be explicitly initialised to 0. This causes them to be placed in .data instead of .bss. This patch de-initialises 3 static variables in net/core/pktgen.c. There are approximately 800 more such variables in the source tree (2.6.15rc5). If there is more interrest I'd be willing to track down the rest of these as well and de-initialise them as well.

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at least) This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const, so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing. This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly) I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make them const. This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and speedup some socket system calls. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Here is a new feature for netem in 2.6.16. It adds the ability to randomly corrupt packets with netem. A version was done by Hagen Paul Pfeifer, but I redid it to handle the cases of backwards compatibility with netlink interface and presence of hardware checksum offload. It is useful for testing hardware offload in devices. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Speed of a interface may not be available until carrier is detected in the case of autonegotiation. To get the correct value we need to recheck speed after carrier event. But the check needs to be done in a context that is similar to normal ethtool interface (can sleep). Also, delay check for 1ms to try avoid any carrier bounce transitions.

As DCCP needs to be called in the same spots. Now we have a member in inet_sock (is_icsk), set at sock creation time from struct inet_protosw->flags (if INET_PROTOSW_ICSK is set, like for TCP and DCCP) to see if a struct sock instance is a inet_connection_sock for places like the ones in ip_sockglue.c (v4 and v6) where we previously were looking if sk_type was SOCK_STREAM, that is insufficient because we now use the same code for DCCP, that has sk_type SOCK_DCCP.
