* ipv6: Add GRO supportHerbert Xu2009-01-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds GRO support for IPv6. IPv6 GRO supports extension headers in the same way as GSO (by using the same infrastructure). It's also simpler compared to IPv4 since we no longer have to worry about fragmentation attributes or header checksums. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ipv4: Add GRO infrastructureHerbert Xu2008-12-151-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds GRO support for IPv4. The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular, we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for the length, ID and checksum. In addition, the ID must form an arithmetic sequence with a difference of one. The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this whether GSO is in use or not. In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate skb's tail).

* [NETNS]: Drop packets in the non-initial namespace on the per/protocol basis.Denis V. Lunev2008-03-241-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | IP layer now can handle multiple namespaces normally. So, process such packets normally and drop them only if the transport layer is not aware about namespaces. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [IPV6]: make inet6_register_protosw to return an error codeDaniel Lezcano2008-01-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | This patch makes the inet6_register_protosw to return an error code. The different protocols can be aware the registration was successful or not and can pass the error to the initial caller, af_inet6.

* [NET] gso: Fix up GSO packets with broken checksumsHerbert Xu2006-07-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Certain subsystems in the stack (e.g., netfilter) can break the partial checksum on GSO packets. Until they're fixed, this patch allows this to work by recomputing the partial checksums through the GSO mechanism. Once they've all been converted to update the partial checksum instead of clearing it, this workaround can be removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: Added GSO header verificationHerbert Xu2006-06-291-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain), we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware. Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the hardware if it passes the header check. This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for further segmentation.

* [IPV6]: Move nextheader offset to the IP6CBPatrick McHardy2006-01-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Move nextheader offset to the IP6CB to make it possible to pass a packet to ip6_input_finish multiple times and have it skip already parsed headers. As a nice side effect this gets rid of the manual hopopts skipping in ip6_input_finish. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: move struct proto_ops to constEric Dumazet2006-01-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [IP_SOCKGLUE]: Remove most of the tcp specific callsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2006-01-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+99
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
