| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | No need to align struct inet_ehash_bucket on a 8 bytes boundary. On 32 bits Uniprocessor, that's a waste of 4 bytes per struct (50 %) On other platforms, the attribute is useless, natual alignement is already 8. platform | Size before | Size after patch -------------+-------------+------------------ 32 bits, UP | 8 | 4 32 bits, SMP | 8 | 8 64 bits, UP | 8 | 8 64 bits, SMP | 16 | 16 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | The old code had the IP and SP coming from the registers in the thread struct, which are completely wrong since those are the userspace registers.

* [IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnlHerbert Xu2005-10-031-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case. 1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get(). 2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu(). 3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl(). There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it. This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and Paul McKenney. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [INET]: speedup inet (tcp/dccp) lookupsEric Dumazet2005-10-036-43/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo) (The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line, so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs) 1) First some performance data : -------------------------------- tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established() The most time critical code is : sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) { if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif)) goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */ } The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of "struct sock" is prefetched. As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache lines. This can be problematic if some chains are very long. 2) The goal ----------- The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache, using one cache line per iteration. 3) Description of the patch --------------------------- Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common', filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform. struct sock_common { unsigned short skc_family; volatile unsigned char skc_state; unsigned char skc_reuse; int skc_bound_dev_if; struct hlist_node skc_node; struct hlist_node skc_bind_node; atomic_t skc_refcnt; + unsigned int skc_hash; struct proto *skc_prot; }; Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size - 1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache line in case of a miss. Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with (ehash_size - 1) File include/net/inet_hashtables.h 64 bits platforms : #define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\ (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) ((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie)) && \ ((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports)) && \ (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif)))) 32bits platforms: #define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\ (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) && \ (inet_sk(__sk)->daddr == (__saddr)) && \ (inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr == (__daddr)) && \ (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif)))) - Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in __inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and __inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and __dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock); Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: Fix packet timestamping.Herbert Xu2005-10-031-9/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time. Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day. This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in. In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while yet. When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

* | [PATCH] aio: remove unlocked task_list test and resulting raceZach Brown2005-09-301-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a freed iocb. The kick path could delete the task_list item from the wait queue before getting the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list. The run path was testing the task_list item outside the lock so that it could catch ki_retry methods that return -EIOCBRETRY *without* putting the iocb on a wait queue and promising to call kick_iocb. This unlocked check could then race with the kick path to cause both to try and put the iocb on the run list. The patch stops the run path from testing task_list by requring that any ki_retry that returns -EIOCBRETRY *must* guarantee that kick_iocb() will be called in the future. aio_p{read,write}, the only in-tree -EIOCBRETRY users, are updated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch adds extra permission grants to keys for the possessor of a key in addition to the owner, group and other permissions bits. This makes SUID binaries easier to support without going as far as labelling keys and key targets using the LSM facilities. This patch adds a second "pointer type" to key structures (struct key_ref *) that can have the bottom bit of the address set to indicate the possession of a key. This is propagated through searches from the keyring to the discovered key. It has been made a separate type so that the compiler can spot attempts to dereference a potentially incorrect pointer. The "possession" attribute can't be attached to a key structure directly as it's not an intrinsic property of a key. Pointers to keys have been replaced with struct key_ref *'s wherever possession information needs to be passed through. This does assume that the bottom bit of the pointer will always be zero on return from kmem_cache_alloc(). The key reference type has been made into a typedef so that at least it can be located in the sources, even though it's basically a pointer to an undefined type. I've also renamed the accessor functions to be more useful, and all reference variables should now end in "_ref".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Al Viro pointed out that the current IB userspace verbs interface allows userspace to cause mischief by closing file descriptors before we're ready, or issuing the same command twice at the same time. This patch closes those races, and fixes other obvious problems such as a module reference leak. Some other interface bogosities will require an ABI change to fix properly, so I'm deferring those fixes until 2.6.15. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My previous patch fixing invalidation of huge PTEs wasn't good enough, we still had an issue if a PTE invalidation batch contained both small and large pages. This patch fixes this by making sure the batch is flushed if the page size fed to it changes.
