[NETNS]: Drop packets in the non-initial namespace on the per/protocol basis.

2008-03-24T22:33:00+00:00

IP layer now can handle multiple namespaces normally. So, process such
packets normally and drop them only if the transport layer is not
aware about namespaces.

[IPV6]: make inet6_register_protosw to return an error code

2008-01-28T22:57:12+00:00

This patch makes the inet6_register_protosw to return an error code.
The different protocols can be aware the registration was successful or
not and can pass the error to the initial caller, af_inet6.

[IPV6]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff * in input handlers

2007-10-15T19:50:28+00:00

With all the users of the double pointers removed from the IPv6 input path,
this patch converts all occurances of sk_buff ** to sk_buff * in IPv6 input
handlers.

[INET]: Change protocol field in struct inet_protosw to u16

        unsigned char              flags;                /*    29     1 */
}; /* size: 32, sum members: 28, holes: 1, sum holes: 2, padding: 2 */

So that we can kill that hole, protocol can only go all the way to 255 (RAW).

[NET] gso: Fix up GSO packets with broken checksums

2006-07-08T20:34:56+00:00

Certain subsystems in the stack (e.g., netfilter) can break the partial
checksum on GSO packets.  Until they're fixed, this patch allows this to
work by recomputing the partial checksums through the GSO mechanism.

Once they've all been converted to update the partial checksum instead of
clearing it, this workaround can be removed.

[NET]: Added GSO header verification

2006-06-29T23:57:53+00:00

When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain),
we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware.

Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that
code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY.  Packets with this
bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit
NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST.  If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb
is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the
hardware if it passes the header check.

This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag.  The same method
can be used to implement TSO ECN support.  We simply have to mark packets
with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them.  The GSO engine can either fully segment
the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for
further segmentation.
