Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

[NET]: use __read_mostly on kmem_cache_t , DEFINE_SNMP_STAT pointers This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section (read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without memory ping pongs. On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a reload.

[NET]: Speed up __alloc_skb() From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> In __alloc_skb(), the use of skb_shinfo() which casts a u8 * to the shared info structure results in gcc being forced to do a reload of the pointer since it has no information on possible aliasing. Fix this by using a pointer to refer to skb_shared_info. By initializing skb_shared_info sequentially, the write combining buffers can reduce the number of memory transactions to a single write. Reorder the initialization in __alloc_skb() to match the structure definition. There is also an alignment issue on 64 bit systems with skb_shared_info by converting nr_frags to a short everything packs up nicely. Also, pass the slab cache pointer according to the fclone flag instead of using two almost identical function calls. This raises bw_unix performance up to a peak of 707KB/s when combined with the spinlock patch. It should help other networking protocols, too. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem. The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.

Based upon an initial patch by Thomas Graf and suggestions from Herbert Xu. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem. The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.

Usage: from := 0 to := 128 state := undef data := undef len := undef consumed := 0 skb_prepare_seq_read(skb, from, to, &state) while (len = skb_seq_read(consumed, &data, &state)) != 0 do /* do something with 'data' of length 'len' */ if abort then /* abort read if we don't wait for * skb_seq_read() to return 0 */ skb_abort_seq_read(&state) return endif /* not necessary to consume all of 'len' */ consumed += len done Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

[IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approach 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.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

[NET]: Implement SKB fast cloning. Protocols that make extensive use of SKB cloning, for example TCP, eat at least 2 allocations per packet sent as a result. To cut the kmalloc() count in half, we implement a pre-allocation scheme wherein we allocate 2 sk_buff objects in advance, then use a simple reference count to free up the memory at the correct time. Based upon an initial patch by Thomas Graf and suggestions from Herbert Xu. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
