PPTP: PPP over IPv4 (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) PPP: introduce "pptp" module which implements point-to-point tunneling protocol using pppox framework NET: introduce the "gre" module for demultiplexing GRE packets on version criteria (required to pptp and ip_gre may coexists) NET: ip_gre: update to use the "gre" module This patch introduces then pptp support to the linux kernel which dramatically speeds up pptp vpn connections and decreases cpu usage in comparison of existing user-space implementation (poptop/pptpclient). There is accel-pptp project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/accel-pptp/) to utilize this module, it contains plugin for pppd to use pptp in client-mode and modified pptpd (poptop) to build high-performance pptp NAS. There was many changes from initial submitted patch, most important are: 1. using rcu instead of read-write locks 2. using static bitmap instead of dynamically allocated 3. using vmalloc for memory allocation instead of BITS_PER_LONG + __get_free_pages 4. fixed many coding style issues Thanks to Eric Dumazet.

GRE: Refactor GRE tunneling code. Following patch refactors GRE code into ip tunneling code and GRE specific code. Common tunneling code is moved to ip_tunnel module. ip_tunnel module is written as generic library which can be used by different tunneling implementations. ip_tunnel module contains following components: - packet xmit and rcv generic code. xmit flow looks like (gre_xmit/ipip_xmit)->ip_tunnel_xmit->ip_local_out. - hash table of all devices. - lookup for tunnel devices. - control plane operations like device create, destroy, ioctl, netlink operations code. - registration for tunneling modules, like gre, ipip etc. - define single pcpu_tstats dev->tstats. - struct tnl_ptk_info added to pass parsed tunnel packet parameters. ipip.h header is renamed to ip_tunnel.h Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

gre: Remove support for sharing GRE protocol hook. Support for sharing GREPROTO_CISCO port was added so that OVS gre port and kernel GRE devices can co-exist. After flow-based tunneling patches OVS GRE protocol processing is completely moved to ip_gre module. so there is no need for GRE protocol hook. Following patch consolidates GRE protocol related functions into ip_gre module. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Acked-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

gre: Allow multiple protocol listener for gre protocol. Currently there is only one user is allowed to register for gre protocol. Following patch adds de-multiplexer.

openvswitch: Use regular GRE net_device instead of vport Using GRE tunnel meta data collection feature, we can implement OVS GRE vport. This patch removes all of the OVS specific GRE code and make OVS use a ip_gre net_device. Minimal GRE vport is kept to handle compatibility with current userspace application.

gre: Move utility functions to common headers Several of the GRE functions defined in net/ipv4/ip_gre.c are usable for IPv6 GRE implementation (that is they are protocol agnostic). These include: - GRE flag handling functions are move to gre.h - GRE build_header is moved to gre.h and renamed gre_build_header - parse_gre_header is moved to gre_demux.c and renamed gre_parse_header - iptunnel_pull_header is taken out of gre_parse_header. This is now done by caller. The header length is returned from gre_parse_header in an int* argument. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

gre: fix error handler 1) gre_parse_header() can be called from gre_err() At this point transport header points to ICMP header, not the inner header. 2) We can not really change transport header as ipgre_err() will later assume transport header still points to ICMP header (using icmp_hdr()) 3) pskb_may_pull() logic in gre_parse_header() really works if we are interested at zone pointed by skb->data 4) As Jiri explained in commit b7f8fe251e46 ("gre: do not pull header in ICMP error processing") we should not pull headers in error handler. So this fix : A) changes gre_parse_header() to use skb->data instead of skb_transport_header() B) Adds a nhs parameter to gre_parse_header() so that we can skip the not pulled IP header from error path. This offset is 0 for normal receive path. C) remove obsolete IPV6 includes Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com> Cc: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Cc: Jiri Benc <jbenc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
