ipv6: add ipv6_addr_hash() helper

2012-07-18T18:28:46Z

Introduce ipv6_addr_hash() helper doing a XOR on all bits of an IPv6 address, with an optimized x86_64 version. Use it in flow dissector, as suggested by Andrew McGregor, to reduce hash collision probabilities in fq_codel (and other users of flow dissector) Use it in ip6_tunnel.c and use more bit shuffling, as suggested by David Laight, as existing hash was ignoring most of them. Use it in sunrpc and use more bit shuffling, using hash_32(). Use it in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, using hash_32() as well. As a cleanup, use it in net/ipv4/tcp_metrics.c Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reported-by: Andrew McGregor Cc: Dave Taht Cc: Tom Herbert Cc: David Laight Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Use icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect, instead of rt6_redirect().

2012-07-12T07:33:37Z

And delete rt6_redirect(), since it is no longer used. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: optimize ipv6 addresses compares

2012-07-11T06:13:46Z

On 64 bit arches having efficient unaligned accesses (eg x86_64) we can use long words to reduce number of instructions for free. Joe Perches suggested to change ipv6_masked_addr_cmp() to return a bool instead of 'int', to make sure ipv6_masked_addr_cmp() cannot be used in a sorting function.

ipv6: bool/const conversions phase2

2012-05-19T05:08:16Z

Mostly bool conversions, some inline removals and const additions. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: bool conversions phase1

2012-05-18T06:24:13Z

ipv6_opt_accepted() returns a bool, and can use const pointers ipv6_addr_equal(), ipv6_addr_any(), ipv6_addr_loopback(), ipv6_addr_orchid() return a bool. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip_frag: struct inet_frags match() method returns a bool

2012-05-18T05:40:27Z

- match() method returns a boolean - return (A && B && C && D) -> return A && B && C && D - fix indentation Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

net: Delete all remaining instances of ctl_path

2012-04-21T01:22:30Z

We don't use struct ctl_path anymore so delete the exported constants. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net ipv4: Remove the unneeded registration of an empty net/ipv4/neigh

2012-04-21T01:21:18Z

sysctl no longer requires explicit creation of directories. The neigh directory is always populated with at least a default entry so this won't cause any user visible changes. Delete the ipv4_path and the ipv4_skeleton these are no longer needed. Directly register the ipv4_route_table. And since I am an idiot remove the header definitions that I should have removed in the previous patch. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: cleanup unsigned to unsigned int

2012-04-15T16:44:40Z

Use of "unsigned int" is preferred to bare "unsigned" in net tree. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Add fragment reporting to ipv6_skip_exthdr().

2011-12-03T17:35:10Z

While parsing through IPv6 extension headers, fragment headers are skipped making them invisible to the caller. This reports the fragment offset of the last header in order to make it possible to determine whether the packet is fragmented and, if so whether it is a first or last fragment.
