* [IPV4]: Safer reassemblyHerbert Xu2006-01-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch for 2.6.16. (The original patch is here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2 and my only contribution is to have tested it.) This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

* [IPV4]: Fix ip_queue_xmit identity increment for TSO packetsHerbert Xu2005-11-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | When ip_queue_xmit calls ip_select_ident_more for IP identity selection it gives it the wrong packet count for TSO packets. The ip_select_* functions expect one less than the number of packets, so we need to subtract one for TSO packets. This bug was diagnosed and fixed by Tom Young.

* [IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approachAnanda Raju2005-10-281-5/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature. 1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik. 2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) 3. udp sendfile support with UFO This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device driver to use the UFO interface. UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface: ------------------------------------------- UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to MTU sized packets 1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6. 2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine. UFO packet will have a non-zero value for "skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size" skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware. skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of each fragmented IP packet. For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating IPv6 fragments.

* [NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargementHarald Welte2005-08-291-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff. The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic testing on my notebook and it seems to work. The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space. Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code overloads pkt_type :( The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe to remove it. - remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code - don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die. - remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes - move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NETFILTER]: Fix connection tracking bug in 2.6.12Patrick McHardy2005-06-281-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 2.6.12 we started dropping the conntrack reference when a packet leaves the IP layer. This broke connection tracking on a bridge, because bridge-netfilter defers calling some NF_IP_* hooks to the bridge layer for locally generated packets going out a bridge, where the conntrack reference is no longer available. This patch keeps the reference in this case as a temporary solution, long term we will remove the defered hook calling. No attempt is made to drop the reference in the bridge-code when it is no longer needed, tc actions could already have sent the packet anywhere.

* [IPV4/IPV6] Ensure all frag_list members have NULL skHerbert Xu2005-05-181-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having frag_list members which holds wmem of an sk leads to nightmares with partially cloned frag skb's. The reason is that once you unleash a skb with a frag_list that has individual sk ownerships into the stack you can never undo those ownerships safely as they may have been cloned by things like netfilter. Since we have to undo them in order to make skb_linearize happy this approach leads to a dead-end. So let's go the other way and make this an invariant: For any skb on a frag_list, skb->sk must be NULL. That is, the socket ownership always belongs to the head skb. It turns out that the implementation is actually pretty simple. The above invariant is actually violated in the following patch for a short duration inside ip_fragment. This is OK because the offending frag_list member is either destroyed at the end of the slow path without being sent anywhere, or it is detached from the frag_list before being sent.

* [NETFILTER]: Drop conntrack reference when packet leaves IPPatrick McHardy2005-04-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the event a raw socket is created for sending purposes only, the creator never bothers to check the socket's receive queue. But we continue to add skbs to its queue until it fills up. Unfortunately, if ip_conntrack is loaded on the box, each skb we add to the queue potentially holds a reference to a conntrack. If the user attempts to unload ip_conntrack, we will spin around forever since the queued skbs are pinned. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+1359
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!
