net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.

tcp: Change possible SYN flooding messages

2011-09-15T18:49:43+00:00

"Possible SYN flooding on port xxxx " messages can fill logs on servers.

Change logic to log the message only once per listener, and add two new
SNMP counters to track :

TCPReqQFullDoCookies : number of times a SYNCOOKIE was replied to client

TCPReqQFullDrop : number of times a SYN request was dropped because
syncookies were not enabled.

Based on a prior patch from Tom Herbert, and suggestions from David.

tcp: Replace time wait bucket msg by counter

2010-12-08T20:16:33+00:00

Rather than printing the message to the log, use a mib counter to keep
track of the count of occurences of time wait bucket overflow.  Reduces
spam in logs.

net: avoid limits overflow

2010-11-10T20:12:00+00:00

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB machine and found some limits were
reached : sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2]

We can switch infrastructure to use long "instead" of "int", now
atomic_long_t primitives are available for free.

snmp: 64bit ipstats_mib for all arches

2010-06-30T20:31:19+00:00

/proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/netstat expose SNMP counters.

Width of these counters is either 32 or 64 bits, depending on the size
of "unsigned long" in kernel.

This means user program parsing these files must already be prepared to
deal with 64bit values, regardless of user program being 32 or 64 bit.

This patch introduces 64bit snmp values for IPSTAT mib, where some
counters can wrap pretty fast if they are 32bit wide.

# netstat -s|egrep "InOctets|OutOctets"
    InOctets: 244068329096
    OutOctets: 244069348848

ipv4: add LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER snmp counter

2010-06-03T10:18:19+00:00

Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path
because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being
incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the
problem.

This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented
each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers.

(We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to
send an answer would use another interface)

netstat -s | grep IPReversePathFilter
    IPReversePathFilter: 21714

tcp: Add SNMP counter for DEFER_ACCEPT

2010-03-22T01:31:35+00:00

Its currently hard to diagnose when ACK frames are dropped because an
application set TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT on its listening socket.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15507

This patch adds a SNMP value, named TCPDeferAcceptDrop

netstat -s | grep TCPDeferAcceptDrop
    TCPDeferAcceptDrop: 0

This counter is incremented every time we drop a pure ACK frame received
by a socket in SYN_RECV state because its SYNACK retrans count is lower
than defer_accept value.

tcp: Add SNMP counters for backlog and min_ttl drops

2010-03-08T18:45:27+00:00

Commit 6b03a53a (tcp: use limited socket backlog) added the possibility
of dropping frames when backlog queue is full.

Commit d218d111 (tcp: Generalized TTL Security Mechanism) added the
possibility of dropping frames when TTL is under a given limit.

This patch adds new SNMP MIB entries, named TCPBacklogDrop and
TCPMinTTLDrop, published in /proc/net/netstat in TcpExt: line

netstat -s | egrep "TCPBacklogDrop|TCPMinTTLDrop"
    TCPBacklogDrop: 0

percpu: add __percpu sparse annotations to net

2010-02-17T07:05:38+00:00

Add __percpu sparse annotations to net.

These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors.  This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

The macro and type tricks around snmp stats make things a bit
interesting.  DEFINE/DECLARE_SNMP_STAT() macros mark the target field
as __percpu and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS() macro is updated accordingly.  All
snmp_mib_*() users which used to cast the argument to (void **) are
updated to cast it to (void __percpu **).
