ipv4: tcp: fix TOS value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAIT

2011-10-24T07:06:21+00:00

There is a long standing bug in linux tcp stack, about ACK messages sent
on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets.

In the IP header of the ACK message, we choose to reflect TOS field of
incoming message, and this might break some setups.

Example of things that were broken :
  - Routing using TOS as a selector
  - Firewalls
  - Trafic classification / shaping

We now remember in timewait structure the inet tos field and use it in
ACK generation, and route lookup.

Notes :
 - We still reflect incoming TOS in RST messages.
 - We could extend MuraliRaja Muniraju patch to report TOS value in
netlink messages for TIME_WAIT sockets.
 - A patch is needed for IPv6

macvlan: handle fragmented multicast frames

2011-10-19T03:22:07+00:00

Fragmented multicast frames are delivered to a single macvlan port,
because ip defrag logic considers other samples are redundant.

Implement a defrag step before trying to send the multicast frame.

ipv4: Add ip_defrag() agent IP_DEFRAG_AF_PACKET.

Elide the ICMP on frag queue timeouts unconditionally for
this user.

net: Fix build failures due to ip_is_fragment()

It needs to be available even when CONFIG_INET is not set.

ip: introduce ip_is_fragment helper inline function

2011-06-22T03:33:34+00:00

There are enough instances of this:

    iph->frag_off & htons(IP_MF | IP_OFFSET)

that a helper function is probably warranted.

inetpeer: remove unused list

2011-06-09T00:05:30+00:00

Andi Kleen and Tim Chen reported huge contention on inetpeer
unused_peers.lock, on memcached workload on a 40 core machine, with
disabled route cache.

It appears we constantly flip peers refcnt between 0 and 1 values, and
we must insert/remove peers from unused_peers.list, holding a contended
spinlock.

Remove this list completely and perform a garbage collection on-the-fly,
at lookup time, using the expired nodes we met during the tree
traversal.

This removes a lot of code, makes locking more standard, and obsoletes
two sysctls (inet_peer_gc_mintime and inet_peer_gc_maxtime). This also
removes two pointers in inet_peer structure.

There is still a false sharing effect because refcnt is in first cache
line of object [were the links and keys used by lookups are located], we
might move it at the end of inet_peer structure to let this first cache
line mostly read by cpus.

ipv4: Pass explicit daddr arg to ip_send_reply().

2011-05-10T20:32:46+00:00

This eliminates an access to rt->rt_src.

ipv4: Pass flow key down into ip_append_*().

This way rt->rt_dst accesses are unnecessary.

ipv4: Pass flow keys down into datagram packet building engine.

2011-05-09T04:24:06+00:00

This way ip_output.c no longer needs rt->rt_{src,dst}.

We already have these keys sitting, ready and waiting, on the stack or
in a socket structure.

inet: Pass flowi to ->queue_xmit().

2011-05-08T22:28:28+00:00

This allows us to acquire the exact route keying information from the
protocol, however that might be managed.

It handles all of the possibilities, from the simplest case of storing
the key in inet->cork.fl to the more complex setup SCTP has where
individual transports determine the flow.
