ipv4: Implement IP_UNICAST_IF socket option. 2012-02-08T20:52:45+00:00 Erich E.

This patch implements the feature by setting the outgoing interface in a similar fashion to that of IP_MULTICAST_IF.

SO_BINDTODEVICE: * SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative privileges, IP_UNICAST_IF does not. From reading some old mailing list articles my understanding is that SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative privileges because it can override the administrator's routing settings. * The SO_BINDTODEVICE option restricts both outbound and inbound traffic, IP_UNICAST_IF only impacts outbound traffic. IP_PKTINFO: * Since IP_PKTINFO and IP_UNICAST_IF are independent options, implementing IP_UNICAST_IF with IP_PKTINFO will likely break some applications. * Implementing IP_UNICAST_IF on top of IP_PKTINFO significantly complicates the Wine codebase and reduces the socket performance (doing this requires a lot of extra communication between the "server" and "user" layers). bind(): * bind() does not work on broadcast packets, IP_UNICAST_IF is specifically intended to work with broadcast packets. * Like SO_BINDTODEVICE, bind() restricts both outbound and inbound traffic.

This reverts commit 81d54ec8479a2c695760da81f05b5a9fb2dbe40a.

If we take the "try_again" goto, due to a checksum error,
the 'len' has already been truncated.  So we won't compute
the same values as the original code did.

OK I found it, I did some extra tests and believe its ready.

[PATCH net-next] ipv4: IP_PKTINFO doesnt need dst reference

When a socket uses IP_PKTINFO notifications, we currently force a dst
reference for each received skb. Reader has to access dst to get needed
information (rt_iif & rt_spec_dst) and must release dst reference.

We also forced a dst reference if skb was put in socket backlog, even
without IP_PKTINFO handling. This happens under stress/load.

We can instead store the needed information in skb->cb[], so that only
softirq handler really access dst, improving cache hit ratios.

This removes two atomic operations per packet, and false sharing as
well.

On a benchmark using a mono threaded receiver (doing only recvmsg()
calls), I can reach 720.000 pps instead of 570.000 pps.

IP_PKTINFO is typically used by DNS servers, and any multihomed aware
UDP application.
