* [NET] CORE: Introducing new memory accounting interface.Hideo Aoki2008-01-283-83/+107
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting functions are removed since other functions do same thing. Renaming: sk_stream_free_skb() -> sk_wmem_free_skb() __sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> __sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> sk_mem_reclaim() sk_stream_mem_schedule -> __sk_mem_schedule() sk_stream_pages() -> sk_mem_pages() sk_stream_rmem_schedule() -> sk_rmem_schedule() sk_stream_wmem_schedule() -> sk_wmem_schedule() sk_charge_skb() -> sk_mem_charge() Removeing sk_stream_rfree(): consolidates into sock_rfree() sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r() sk_stream_mem_schedule() The following functions are added. sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge() In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is removed from sk_mem_charge(). Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call. Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface in TCP and SCTP.

* [ETH]: Combine format_addr() with print_mac().Michael Chan2008-01-281-13/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | print_mac() used many most net drivers and format_addr() used by net-sysfs.c are very similar and they can be intergrated. format_addr() is also identically redefined in the qla4xxx iscsi driver. Export a new function sysfs_format_mac() to be used by net-sysfs, qla4xxx and others in the future. Both print_mac() and sysfs_format_mac() call _format_mac_addr() to do the formatting. Changed print_mac() to use unsigned char * to be consistent with net_device struct's dev_addr. Added buffer length overrun checking as suggested by Joe Perches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sk_forward_alloc being signed, we should take care of divides by SK_STREAM_MEM_QUANTUM we do in sk_stream_pages() and __sk_stream_mem_reclaim() This patchs introduces SK_STREAM_MEM_QUANTUM_SHIFT, defined as ilog2(SK_STREAM_MEM_QUANTUM), to be able to use right shifts instead of plain divides.

* [NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network ↵Eric W. Biederman2008-01-281-44/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [NEIGH]: Make neigh_add_timer symmetrical to neigh_del_timer.Pavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-14/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The neigh_del_timer() looks sane - it removes the timer and (conditionally) puts the neighbor. I expected, that the neigh_add_timer() is symmetrical to the del one - i.e. it holds the neighbor and arms the timer - but it turned out that it was not so. I think, that making them look symmetrical makes the code more readable. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | Just move the variable on the struct net and adjust its usage.

* [NET] sysctl: prepare core tables to point to netns variablesPavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of ctl variables are going to be on the struct net. Here's the way to adjust the ->data pointer on the ctl_table-s to point on the right variable. Since some pointers still point on the global variables, I keep turning the write bits off on such tables. This looks to become a common procedure for net sysctls, so later parts of this code may migrate to some more generic place. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Making them per-namespace is required for the following two reasons: First, some ctl values have a per-namespace meaning. Second, making them writable from the sub-namespace is an isolation hole. So I introduce the pernet operations to create these tables. For init_net I use the existing statically declared tables, for sub-namespace they are duplicated and the write bits are removed from the mode.

* [UDP]: Only increment counter on first peek/recvHerbert Xu2008-01-281-16/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous move of the the UDP inDatagrams counter caused each peek of the same packet to be counted separately. This may be undesirable. This patch fixes this by adding a bit to sk_buff to record whether this packet has already been seen through skb_recv_datagram. We then only increment the counter when the packet is seen for the first time. The only dodgy part is the fact that skb_recv_datagram doesn't have a good way of returning this new bit of information. So I've added a new function __skb_recv_datagram that does return this and made skb_recv_datagram a wrapper around it. The plan is to eventually replace all uses of skb_recv_datagram with this new function at which time it can be renamed its proper name.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently it is possible for two processes to peek on the same socket and end up incrementing the error counter twice for the same packet.

* [NEIGH]: Use the ctl paths to create neighbours sysctlsPavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-50/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The appropriate path is prepared right inside this function. It is prepared similar to how the ctl tables were. Since the path is modified, it is put on the stack, to avoid possible races with multiple calls to neigh_sysctl_register() : it is called by protocols and I didn't find any protection in this case. Did I overlooked the rtnl lock?. The stack growth of the neigh_sysctl_register() is 40 bytes. I believe this is OK, since this is not that much and this function is not called with the deep stack (device/protocols register). The device's name is stored on the template to free it later. This will help with the net namespaces, as each namespace should have its own set of these ctls. Besides, this saves ~350 bytes from the neigh template :) Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

Indeed the code that cleans up also schedule work in keventd: as long as cleanup_net() hasn't return, dst_gc_task() cannot run and as long as dst_gc_task() has not run, there are still some references pending on the net devices and cleanup_net() can not unregister and exit the keventd workqueue.

However, conceptually this is identical to the blackhole functions used in IPv4 and IPv6 which do not return errors. So they should either all return errors or all return zero. For now I've stuck with the majority and picked zero as the return value.

* cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()Gautham R Shenoy2008-01-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the refcount semantics in these operations. The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed. In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the cpu_present_map there.

* [NETNS]: Re-export init_net via EXPORT_SYMBOL.Denis V. Lunev2008-01-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | init_net is used added as a parameter to a lot of old API calls, f.e. ip_dev_find. These calls were exported as EXPORT_SYMBOL. So, export init_net as EXPORT_SYMBOL to keep networking API consistent. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: rtnl_link: fix use-after-freePatrick McHardy2008-01-201-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When unregistering the rtnl_link_ops, all existing devices using the ops are destroyed. With nested devices this may lead to a use-after-free despite the use of for_each_netdev_safe() in case the upper device is next in the device list and is destroyed by the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier. The easy fix is to restart scanning the device list after removing a device. Alternatively we could add new devices to the front of the list to avoid having dependant devices follow the device they depend on. A third option would be to only restart scanning if dev->iflink of the next device matches dev->ifindex of the current one. For now this seems like the safest solution. With this patch, the veth rtnl_link_ops unregistration can use rtnl_link_unregister() directly since it now also handles destruction of multiple devices at once.
