[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics.

2007-08-31T05:10:28+00:00

Cell phone networks do link layer retransmissions and other
things that cause unnecessary timeout retransmits.  So allow
the minimum RTO to be inflated per-route to deal with this.

[RTNETLINK]: Add nested compat attribute

2007-07-11T05:15:39+00:00

Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert
attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a
backwards compatible way.

The attribute looks like this:

struct {
        [ compat contents ]
        struct rtattr {
                .rta_len        = total size,
                .rta_type       = type,
        } rta;
        struct old_structure struct;

        [ nested top-level attribute ]
        struct rtattr {
                .rta_len        = nest size,
                .rta_type       = type,
        } nest_attr;

        [ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ]
        struct rtattr {
                .rta_len        = private attribute len,
                .rta_type       = private attribute typ,
        } nested_attr;
        struct nested_data data;
};

Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are
larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and
ignore the rest.

[RTNL]: Message handler registration interface

2007-04-26T05:27:04+00:00

This patch adds a new interface to register rtnetlink message
handlers replacing the exported rtnl_links[] array which
required many message handlers to be exported unnecessarly.

[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t

2007-04-26T05:26:28+00:00

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

[NETLINK]: Restore API compatibility of address and neighbour bits

[RTNETLINK]: Add rtnl_put_cacheinfo() to unify some code

2006-12-03T05:30:44+00:00

IPv4, IPv6, and DECNet all use struct rta_cacheinfo in a similiar
way, therefore rtnl_put_cacheinfo() is added to reuse code.

[IPv6] prefix: Convert RTM_NEWPREFIX notifications to use the new netlink api

RTM_GETPREFIX is completely unused and is thus removed.

[NET]: Move netlink interface bits to linux/if_link.h.

2006-09-29T01:02:50+00:00

Moving netlink interface bits to linux/if.h is rather troublesome for
applications including both linux/if.h (which was changed to be included
from linux/rtnetlink.h automatically) and net/if.h.
