netns: move net->ipv4.rt_genid to net->rt_genid

2012-09-18T19:57:03+00:00

This commit prepares the use of rt_genid by both IPv4 and IPv6.
Initialization is left in IPv4 part.

net: make sock diag per-namespace

2012-07-17T05:31:34+00:00

Before this patch sock_diag works for init_net only and dumps
information about sockets from all namespaces.

This patch expands sock_diag for all name-spaces.
It creates a netlink kernel socket for each netns and filters
data during dumping.

v2: filter accoding with netns in all places
    remove an unused variable.

Add static inline stub functions to gracefully handle the case when sysctl
support is not present.

net: Remove register_net_sysctl_table

2012-04-21T01:22:30+00:00

All of the users have been converted to use registera_net_sysctl so we
no longer need register_net_sysctl.

net: Kill register_sysctl_rotable

2012-04-21T01:21:17+00:00

register_sysctl_rotable never caught on as an interesting way to
register sysctls.  My take on the situation is that what we want are
sysctls that we can only see in the initial network namespace.  What we
have implemented with register_sysctl_rotable are sysctls that we can
see in all of the network namespaces and can only change in the initial
network namespace.

That is a very silly way to go.  Just register the network sysctls
in the initial network namespace and we don't have any weird special
cases to deal with.

The sysctls affected are:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_secret_interval
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_max_dist
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/ip6frag_secret_interval
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/mld_max_msf

I really don't expect anyone will miss them if they can't read them in a
child user namespace.

net sysctl: Initialize the network sysctls sooner to avoid problems.

2012-04-21T01:21:16+00:00

If the netfilter code is modified to use register_net_sysctl_table the
kernel fails to boot because the per net sysctl infrasturce is not setup
soon enough.  So to avoid races call net_sysctl_init from sock_init().

net: Implement register_net_sysctl.

2012-04-21T01:21:15+00:00

Right now all of the networking sysctl registrations are running in a
compatibiity mode.  The natvie sysctl registration api takes a cstring
for a path and a simple ctl_table.  Implement register_net_sysctl so
that we can register network sysctls without needing to use
compatiblity code in the sysctl core.

Switching from a ctl_path to a cstring results in less boiler plate
and denser code that is a little easier to read.

I would simply have changed the arguments to register_net_sysctl_table
instead of keeping two functions in parallel but gcc will allow a
ctl_path pointer to be passed to a char * pointer with only issuing a
warning resulting in completely incorrect code can be built.  Since I
have to change the function name I am taking advantage of the situation
to let both register_net_sysctl and register_net_sysctl_table live for a
short time in parallel which makes clean conversion patches a bit easier
to read and write.

rtnl: provide link dump consistency info

2011-07-01T22:39:53+00:00

This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace
which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from
the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place,
the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first
message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages
of the same dump.

Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is
taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a
complete list of links and not miss any.

Testing:
I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split
over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in
one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy
netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have
had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set.

I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the
wireless tree.  I just wanted to give this some testing right away.
