My plan is to use an AF_INET listener on systems that support only IPv4,
and an AF_INET6 listener on systems that can support IPv6. Incoming
IPv4 packets will be posted to an AF_INET6 listener with a mapped IPv4
address.
Max Matveev <makc@sgi.com> says:
Creating a single listener can be dangerous - if net.ipv6.bindv6only
is enabled then it's possible to create another listener in v4
namespace on the same port and steal the traffic from the "unifed"
listener. You need to disable V6ONLY explicitly via a sockopt to stop
that.
Set appropriate socket option on RPC server listener sockets to prevent
this.

This patch moves the transport sockaddr to the svc_xprt
structure. Convenience functions are added to set and
get the local and remote addresses of a transport from
the transport provider as well as determine the length
of a sockaddr.
A transport is responsible for setting the xpt_local
and xpt_remote addresses in the svc_xprt structure as
part of transport creation and xpo_accept processing. This
cannot be done in a generic way and in fact varies
between TCP, UDP and RDMA. A set of xpo_ functions
(e.g. getlocalname, getremotename) could have been
added but this would have resulted in additional
caching and copying of the addresses around. Note that
the xpt_local address should also be set on listening
endpoints; for TCP/RDMA this is done as part of
endpoint creation.
For connected transports like TCP and RDMA, the addresses
never change and can be set once and copied into the
rqstp structure for each request. For UDP, however, the
local and remote addresses may change for each request. In
this case, the address information is obtained from the
UDP recvmsg info and copied into the rqstp structure from
there.
A svc_xprt_local_port function was also added that returns
the local port given a transport. This is used by
svc_create_xprt when returning the port associated with
a newly created transport, and later when creating a
generic find transport service to check if a service is
already listening on a given port.

Previously, the accept logic looked into the socket state to determine
whether to call accept or recv when data-ready was indicated on an endpoint.
Since some transports don't use sockets, this logic now uses a flag
bit (SK_LISTENER) to identify listening endpoints. A transport function
(xpo_accept) allows each transport to define its own accept processing.
A transport's initialization logic is reponsible for setting the
SK_LISTENER bit. I didn't see any way to do this in transport independent
logic since the passive side of a UDP connection doesn't listen and
always recv's.
In the svc_recv function, if the SK_LISTENER bit is set, the transport
xpo_accept function is called to handle accept processing.
Note that all functions are defined even if they don't make sense
for a given transport. For example, accept doesn't mean anything for
UDP. The function is defined anyway and bug checks if called. The
UDP transport should never set the SK_LISTENER bit.

We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.
This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16
I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.
As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)
Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)
Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)
