arp/neighbour.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-08-01T00:50:02+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

Reflow modified prototypes to 80 columns.

net: Dont use ifindices in hash fns

2012-08-09T23:18:06+00:00

Eric noticed, that when there will be devices with equal indices, some
hash functions that use them will become less effective as they could.
Fix this in advance by mixing the net_device address into the hash value
instead of the device index.

This is true for arp and ndisc hash fns. The netlabel, can and llc ones
are also ifindex-based, but that three are init_net-only, thus will not
be affected.

Many thanks to David and Eric for the hash32_ptr implementation!

ipv4: Fix neigh lookup keying over loopback/point-to-point devices.

2012-07-20T23:06:10+00:00

We were using a special key "0" for all loopback and point-to-point
device neigh lookups under ipv4, but we wouldn't use that special
key for the neigh creation.

So basically we'd make a new neigh at each and every lookup :-)

This special case to use only one neigh for these device types
is of dubious value, so just remove it entirely.

ipv4: Make neigh lookups directly in output packet path.

2012-07-05T08:02:12+00:00

Do not use the dst cached neigh, we'll be getting rid of that.

ipv4: Eliminate spurious argument to __ipv4_neigh_lookup

2012-02-15T22:48:35+00:00

'tbl' is always arp_tbl, so specifying it is pointless.

ipv6: Use universal hash for NDISC.

2011-12-28T20:06:58+00:00

In order to perform a proper universal hash on a vector of integers,
we have to use different universal hashes on each vector element.

Which means we need 4 different hash randoms for ipv6.

net: Add ->neigh_lookup() operation to dst_ops

2011-07-18T07:40:17+00:00

In the future dst entries will be neigh-less.  In that environment we
need to have an easy transition point for current users of
dst->neighbour outside of the packet output fast path.

ipv4: Inline neigh binding.

2011-07-13T08:12:28+00:00

Get rid of all of the useless and costly indirection
by doing the neigh hash table lookup directly inside
of the neighbour binding.

Rename from arp_bind_neighbour to rt_bind_neighbour.

Use new helpers {__,}ipv4_neigh_lookup()

In rt_bind_neighbour() get rid of useless tests which
are never true in the context this function is called,
namely dev is never NULL and the dst->neighbour is
always NULL.

ipv4: Use universal hash for ARP.

2011-07-11T08:37:28+00:00

We need to make sure the multiplier is odd.
