435cf559f0 TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct's
Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions.
For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits
between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional
space (taking alignment into consideration).  There are no additions to
tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock.

This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley):

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586

The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce,
instead of a user configured offset in the data.  This is more flexible and
less subject to user configuration error.  Such a cookie option has been
suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing
several related concepts to use the same extension option.

Add optional function parameters associated with sending SYNACK.
These parameters are not needed after sending SYNACK, and are not

a5ee155136 net: NETDEV_UNREGISTER_PERNET -> NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH
The motivation for an additional notifier in batched netdevice
notification (rt_do_flush) only needs to be called once per batch not
once per namespace.

For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the
netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all
of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with
the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly
unregistered last.

Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after
the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no
explanation.  So I have restored the original location of the final
synchronize_net.

b2722b1c3a ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a socket
When a large packet gets reassembled by ip_defrag(), the head skb
accounts for all the fragments in skb->truesize. If this packet is
refragmented again, skb->truesize is not re-adjusted to reflect only
the head size since its not owned by a socket. If the head fragment
then gets recycled and reused for another received fragment, it might
exceed the defragmentation limits due to its large truesize value.

skb_recycle_check() explicitly checks for linear skbs, so any recycled
skb should reflect its true size in skb->truesize. Change ip_fragment()
to also adjust the truesize value of skbs not owned by a socket.

2c1409a0a2 inetpeer: Optimize inet_getid()
While investigating for network latencies, I found inet_getid() was a
contention point for some workloads, as inet_peer_idlock is shared
by all inet_getid() users regardless of peers.

One way to fix this is to make ip_id_count an atomic_t instead
of __u16, and use atomic_add_return().

In order to keep sizeof(struct inet_peer) = 64 on 64bit arches
tcp_ts_stamp is also converted to __u32 instead of "unsigned long".

Indeed. But we dump at most one skb (<= 8192 bytes ?), so rcu_read_lock
holding time is small, unless we meet many netdevices without
addresses. I wonder if its really common...

Thanks

[PATCH net-next-2.6] ipv4: speedup inet_dump_ifaddr()

When handling large number of netdevices, inet_dump_ifaddr()
is very slow because it has O(N2) complexity.

Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the NETDEV_HASHENTRIES
sub lists of the dev_index hash table, and RCU lookups.

We first locate the (local port) hash chain head
If few sockets are in this chain, we proceed with previous lookup algo.

If too many sockets are listed, we take a look at the secondary
(port, address) hash chain we added in previous patch.

We choose the shortest chain and proceed with a RCU lookup on the elected chain.

But, if we chose (port, address) chain, and fail to find a socket on given address,
 we must try another lookup on (port, INADDR_ANY) chain to find socket not bound
to a particular IP.

-> No extra cost for typical setups, where the first lookup will probabbly
be performed.

81adee47df net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

23ca0c989e ipip: Fix handling of DF packets when pmtudisc is OFF
RFC 2003 requires the outer header to have DF set if DF is set
on the inner header, even when PMTU discovery is off for the
tunnel.  Our implementation does exactly that.

For this to work properly the IPIP gateway also needs to engate
in PMTU when the inner DF bit is set.  As otherwise the original
host would not be able to carry out its PMTU successfully since
part of the path is only visible to the gateway.

Unfortunately when the tunnel PMTU discovery setting is off, we
do not collect the necessary soft state, resulting in blackholes
when the original host tries to perform PMTU discovery.

This problem is not reproducible on the IPIP gateway itself as
the inner packet usually has skb->local_df set.  This is not
correctly cleared (an unrelated bug) when the packet passes
through the tunnel, which allows fragmentation to occur.  For
hosts behind the IPIP gateway it is readily visible with a simple
ping.

This patch fixes the problem by performing PMTU discovery for
all packets with the inner DF bit set, regardless of the PMTU
discovery setting on the tunnel itself.

f9dd09c7f7 netfilter: nf_nat: fix NAT issue in 2.6.30.4+
Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e36).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.

The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

3f378b6844 net: pass kern to net_proto_family create function
The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the
security system to make decisions based on if a socket is being created by
the kernel or by userspace.  This patch passes that flag to the
net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.

struct inet_protosw had a capability field which can be more clearly

05eaade278 tcp: Do not call IPv4 specific func in tcp_check_req
Calling IPv4 specific inet_csk_route_req in tcp_check_req
is a bad idea and crashes machine on IPv6 connections, as reported
by Valdis Kletnieks

Also, all we are really interested in is the timestamp
option in the header, so calling tcp_parse_options()
with the "estab" set to false flag is an overkill as
it tries to parse half a dozen other TCP options.

We know whether timestamp should be enabled or not
using data from request_sock.
