net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.

2009-09-30T23:12:20Z

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial) checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in each and every implementation. Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback from Linus Torvalds. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04Z

It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

snmp: add missing counters for RFC 4293

2009-04-27T09:45:02Z

The IP MIB (RFC 4293) defines stats for InOctets, OutOctets, InMcastOctets and OutMcastOctets: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4293 But it seems we don't track those in any way that easy to separate from other protocols. This patch adds those missing counters to the stats file. Tested successfully by me With help from Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip: support for TX timestamps on UDP and RAW sockets

2009-02-16T06:43:38Z

Instructions for time stamping outgoing packets are take from the socket layer and later copied into the new skb. Signed-off-by: Patrick Ohly Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns xfrm: per-netns sysctls

2008-11-26T02:00:48Z

Make net.core.xfrm_aevent_etime net.core.xfrm_acq_expires net.core.xfrm_aevent_rseqth net.core.xfrm_larval_drop sysctls per-netns. For that make net_core_path[] global, register it to prevent two /proc/net/core antries and change initcall position -- xfrm_init() is called from fs_initcall, so this one should be fs_initcall at least.

net: avoid a pair of dst_hold()/dst_release() in ip_append_data()

2008-11-24T23:52:46Z

We can reduce pressure on dst entry refcount that slowdown UDP transmit path on SMP machines. This pressure is visible on RTP servers when delivering content to mediagateways, especially big ones, handling thousand of streams. Several cpus send UDP frames to the same destination, hence use the same dst entry. This patch makes ip_append_data() eventually steal the refcount its callers had to take on the dst entry. This doesnt avoid all refcounting, but still gives speedups on SMP, on UDP/RAW transmit path Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl: simplify ->strategy

2008-10-16T18:21:47Z

name and nlen parameters passed to ->strategy hook are unused, remove them. In general ->strategy hook should know what it's doing, and don't do something tricky for which, say, pointer to original userspace array may be needed (name).

inet: cleanup of local_port_range

2008-10-08T21:18:04Z

I noticed sysctl_local_port_range[] and its associated seqlock sysctl_local_port_range_lock were on separate cache lines. Moreover, sysctl_local_port_range[] was close to unrelated variables, highly modified, leading to cache misses. Moving these two variables in a structure can help data locality and moving this structure to read_mostly section helps sharing of this data among cpus. Cleanup of extern declarations (moved in include file where they belong), and use of inet_get_local_port_range() accessor instead of direct access to ports values.

ipv4: Make Netfilter's ip_route_me_harder() non-local address compatible

2008-10-01T14:44:42Z

Netfilter's ip_route_me_harder() tries to re-route packets either generated or re-routed by Netfilter. This patch changes ip_route_me_harder() to handle packets from non-locally-bound sockets with IP_TRANSPARENT set as local and to set the appropriate flowi flags when re-doing the routing lookup.

tcp: Handle TCP SYN+ACK/ACK/RST transparency

2008-10-01T14:41:00Z

The TCP stack sends out SYN+ACK/ACK/RST reply packets in response to incoming packets. The non-local source address check on output bites us again, as replies for transparently redirected traffic won't have a chance to leave the node. This patch selectively sets the FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC flag when doing the route lookup for those replies. Transparent replies are enabled if the listening socket has the transparent socket flag set.
