net: Make userland include of netlink.h more sane.

2011-08-08T05:48:07+00:00

Currently userland will barf when including linux/netlink.h unless it
precisely includes sys/socket.h first.  The issue is where the
definition of "sa_family_t" comes from.

We've been back and forth on how to fix this issue in the past, see:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/622621
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/143380

Ben Hutchings suggested we take a hint from how we handle the
sockaddr_storage type.  First we define a "__kernel_sa_family_t"
to linux/socket.h that is always defined.

Then if __KERNEL__ is defined, we also define "sa_family_t" as
equal to "__kernel_sa_family_t".

Then in places like linux/netlink.h we use __kernel_sa_family_t
in user visible datastructures.

net: Add sendmmsg socket system call

2011-05-05T18:10:14+00:00

This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send
version of the existing recvmmsg syscall. This is heavily
based on the patch by Arnaldo that added recvmmsg.

I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using
this new syscall:

http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/sendmmsg_test.c

The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The
benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets.

64B UDP

batch   pkts/sec
1       804570
2       872800 (+ 8 %)
4       916556 (+14 %)
8       939712 (+17 %)
16      952688 (+18 %)
32      956448 (+19 %)
64      964800 (+20 %)

64B raw socket

batch   pkts/sec
1       1201449
2       1350028 (+12 %)
4       1461416 (+22 %)
8       1513080 (+26 %)
16      1541216 (+28 %)
32      1553440 (+29 %)
64      1557888 (+30 %)

We see a 20% improvement in throughput on UDP send and 30%
on raw socket send.

net: Limit socket I/O iovec total length to INT_MAX.

2010-10-28T18:47:52+00:00

This helps protect us from overflow issues down in the
individual protocol sendmsg/recvmsg handlers.  Once
we hit INT_MAX we truncate out the rest of the iovec
by setting the iov_len members to zero.

This works because:

1) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, partial
   writes are allowed and the application will just continue
   with another write to send the rest of the data.

2) For datagram oriented sockets, where there must be a
   one-to-one correspondance between write() calls and
   packets on the wire, INT_MAX is going to be far larger
   than the packet size limit the protocol is going to
   check for and signal with -EMSGSIZE.

Based upon a patch by Linus Torvalds.

tcp: Fix >4GB writes on 64-bit.

2010-09-28T03:24:54+00:00

Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603

tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write
zero bytes, for example.

There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works.  It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return
value.

However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines).  So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written.  So fix it to use 'long'.
