xfrm4: Add IPsec protocol multiplexer

2014-02-25T06:04:16+00:00

This patch add an IPsec protocol multiplexer. With this it is possible to add alternative protocol handlers as needed for IPsec virtual tunnel interfaces. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert

This function will be used in next GRE_GSO patch. This patch does not change any functionality. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Acked-by: Eric Dumazet

ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.

2012-07-26T22:50:39+00:00

With the routing cache removal we lost the "noref" code paths on input, and this can kill some routing workloads. Reinstate the noref path when we hit a cached route in the FIB nexthops.

ipv4: Kill ip_route_input_noref().

2012-07-20T20:30:59+00:00

The "noref" argument to ip_route_input_common() is now always ignored because we do not cache routes, and in that case we must always grab a reference to the resulting 'dst'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Revert "ipv4: tcp: dont cache unconfirmed intput dst"

2012-06-28T00:05:06+00:00

This reverts commit c074da2810c118b3812f32d6754bd9ead2f169e7. This change has several unwanted side effects: 1) Sockets will cache the DST_NOCACHE route in sk->sk_rx_dst and we'll thus never create a real cached route. 2) All TCP traffic will use DST_NOCACHE and never use the routing cache at all.

ipv4: tcp: dont cache unconfirmed intput dst

2012-06-27T22:34:24+00:00

DDOS synflood attacks hit badly IP route cache. On typical machines, this cache is allowed to hold up to 8 Millions dst entries, 256 bytes for each, for a total of 2GB of memory. rt_garbage_collect() triggers and tries to cleanup things. Eventually route cache is disabled but machine is under fire and might OOM and crash. This patch exploits the new TCP early demux, to set a nocache boolean in case incoming TCP frame is for a not yet ESTABLISHED or TIMEWAIT socket. This 'nocache' boolean is then used in case dst entry is not found in route cache, to create an unhashed dst entry (DST_NOCACHE) SYN-cookie-ACK sent use a similar mechanism (ipv4: tcp: dont cache output dst for syncookies), so after this patch, a machine is able to absorb a DDOS synflood attack without polluting its IP route cache.

net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path

2010-05-18T00:18:51+00:00

Use ip_route_input_noref() in ip fast path, to avoid two atomic ops per incoming packet. Note: loopback is excluded from this optimization in ip_rcv_finish() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
