net: Remove extern from include/net/ scheduling prototypes

2013-08-01T00:24:22Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block. Reflow modified prototypes to 80 columns. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net_sched: add 64bit rate estimators

2013-06-11T09:51:03Z

struct gnet_stats_rate_est contains u32 fields, so the bytes per second field can wrap at 34360Mbit. Add a new gnet_stats_rate_est64 structure to get 64bit bps/pps fields, and switch the kernel to use this structure natively. This structure is dumped to user space as a new attribute : TCA_STATS_RATE_EST64 Old tc command will now display the capped bps (to 34360Mbit), instead of wrapped values, and updated tc command will display correct information. Old tc command output, after patch : eric:~# tc -s -d qd sh dev lo qdisc pfifo 8001: root refcnt 2 limit 1000p Sent 80868245400 bytes 1978837 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 34360Mbit 189696pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 This patch carefully reorganizes "struct Qdisc" layout to get optimal performance on SMP.

pkt_sched: namespace aware act_mirred

2013-01-14T20:09:36Z

Eric Dumazet pointed out that act_mirred needs to find the current net_ns, and struct net pointer is not provided in the call chain. His original patch made use of current->nsproxy->net_ns to find the network namespace, but this fails to work correctly for userspace code that makes use of netlink sockets in different network namespaces. Instead, pass the "struct net *" down along the call chain to where it is needed. This version removes the ifb changes as Eric has submitted that patch separately, but is otherwise identical to the previous version.

pkt_sched: gen_kill_estimator() rcu fixes

2010-06-12T01:37:08Z

gen_kill_estimator() API is incomplete or not well documented, since caller should make sure an RCU grace period is respected before freeing stats_lock. This was partially addressed in commit 5d944c640b4 (gen_estimator: deadlock fix), but same problem exist for all gen_kill_estimator() users, if lock they use is not already RCU protected. A code review shows xt_RATEEST.c, act_api.c, act_police.c have this problem. Other are ok because they use qdisc lock, already RCU protected. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definition

2009-08-18T04:33:49Z

In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "net: reorder struct Qdisc for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to userland via netlink. Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason. Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land, using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic) Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

2007-07-15T07:03:05Z

The NET_CLS_ACT option is now a full replacement for NET_CLS_POLICE, remove the old code. The config option will be kept around to select the equivalent NET_CLS_ACT options for a short time to allow easier upgrades. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
