ipv6: remove useless spin_lock/spin_unlock

2014-12-09T18:18:09+00:00

xchg is atomic, so there is no necessary to use spin_lock/spin_unlock
to protect it. At last, remove the redundant
opt = xchg(&inet6_sk(sk)->opt, opt); statement.

ipv6: White-space cleansing : gaps between function and symbol export

2014-08-25T05:37:52+00:00

This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses
coding style issues as detected by checkpatch.

Both objdump and diff -w show no differences.

This patch removes some blank lines between the end of a function
definition and the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro in order to prevent
checkpatch warning that EXPORT_SYMBOL must immediately follow
a function.

ipv6: White-space cleansing : Line Layouts

2014-08-25T05:37:52+00:00

This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses
coding style issues as detected by checkpatch.

Both objdump and diff -w show no differences.

A number of items are addressed in this patch:
* Multiple spaces converted to tabs
* Spaces before tabs removed.
* Spaces in pointer typing cleansed (char *)foo etc.
* Remove space after sizeof
* Ensure spacing around comparators such as if statements.

ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmit

2014-07-08T04:14:21+00:00

Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit.
The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will
only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label
manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality
of RFC 6438.

Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior
system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this
functionality per socket.

By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts
with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we
may want to enable it by default.

It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic
flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD,
automatic flow labels default to enabled.

Performance impact:

Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for
IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for
every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case
the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.

Automatic flow labels disabled:

  TCP_RR:
    86.53% CPU utilization
    127/195/322 90/95/99% latencies
    1.40498e+06 tps

  UDP_RR:
    90.70% CPU utilization
    118/168/243 90/95/99% latencies
    1.50309e+06 tps

Automatic flow labels enabled:

  TCP_RR:
    85.90% CPU utilization
    128/199/337 90/95/99% latencies
    1.40051e+06

  UDP_RR
    92.61% CPU utilization
    115/164/236 90/95/99% latencies

inet: move ipv6only in sock_common

2014-07-02T06:46:21+00:00

When an UDP application switches from AF_INET to AF_INET6 sockets, we
have a small performance degradation for IPv4 communications because of
extra cache line misses to access ipv6only information.

This can also be noticed for TCP listeners, as ipv6_only_sock() is also
used from __inet_lookup_listener()->compute_score()

This is magnified when SO_REUSEPORT is used.

Move ipv6only into struct sock_common so that it is available at
no extra cost in lookups.

ipv6: yet another new IPV6_MTU_DISCOVER option IPV6_PMTUDISC_OMIT

2014-02-26T20:51:01+00:00

This option has the same semantic as IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT for IPv4 which
got recently introduced. It doesn't honor the path mtu discovered by the
host but in contrary to IPV6_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE allows the generation of
fragments if the packet size exceeds the MTU of the outgoing interface
MTU.

ipv6: make IPV6_RECVPKTINFO work for ipv4 datagrams

2014-01-20T03:53:18+00:00

We currently don't report IPV6_RECVPKTINFO in cmsg access ancillary data
for IPv4 datagrams on IPv6 sockets.

This patch splits the ip6_datagram_recv_ctl into two functions, one
which handles both protocol families, AF_INET and AF_INET6, while the
ip6_datagram_recv_specific_ctl only handles IPv6 cmsg data.

ip6_datagram_recv_*_ctl never reported back any errors, so we can make
them return void. Also provide a helper for protocols which don't offer dual
personality to further use ip6_datagram_recv_ctl, which is exported to
modules.

I needed to shuffle the code for ping around a bit to make it easier to
implement dual personality for ping ipv6 sockets in future.

ipv6: add a flag to get the flow label used remotly

2014-01-20T01:12:31+00:00

This information is already available via IPV6_FLOWINFO
of IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS, and them a filtering to get the flow label
information. But it is probably logical and easier for users to add this
here, and to control both sent/received flow label values with the
IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR option.

2014-01-15T23:53:18+00:00

Two places defined IPV6_TCLASS_SHIFT, so we should move it into ipv6.h,
and use this macro as possible. And define ip6_tclass helper to return
tclass
