dd0fc66fb3 [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

e6308be85a [IPV4]: fib_trie root-node expansion
The patch below introduces special thresholds to keep root node in the trie 
large. This gives a flatter tree at the cost of a modest memory increase.
Overall it seems to be gain and this was also proposed by one the authors 
of the paper in recent a seminar.

Main table after loading 123 k routes.

	Aver depth:     3.30
	Max depth:      9
        Root-node size  12 bits
        Total size: 4044  kB

With the patch:
	Aver depth:     2.78
	Max depth:      8
        Root-node size  15 bits
        Total size: 4150  kB

An increase of 8-10% was seen in forwading performance for an rDoS attack.

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

The breakage is caused by the change to use the CB area for flagging
whether a packet has been queued due to proxy_delay.  This area gets
cleared every time arp_rcv gets called.  Unfortunately packets delayed
due to proxy_delay also go through arp_rcv when they are reprocessed.

In fact, I can't think of a reason why delayed proxy packets should go
through netfilter again at all.  So the easiest solution is to bypass
that and go straight to arp_process.

This is essentially what would've happened before netfilter support
was added to ARP.

During the build for ARM machine type "fortunet", this error occurred:

  CC      net/sysctl_net.o

It appears that the following configuration settings cause this error
due to a missing include:
CONFIG_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_NET=y
# CONFIG_INET is not set

core_table appears to be declared in net/sock.h.  if CONFIG_INET were
defined, net/sock.h would have been included via:
  sysctl_net.c -> net/ip.h -> linux/ip.h -> net/sock.h

so include it directly.

81c3d5470e [INET]: speedup inet (tcp/dccp) lookups
Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other
pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo)

(The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line,
so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs)

1) First some performance data :
--------------------------------

tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established()

The most time critical code is :

sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
     if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
         goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
}

The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
"struct sock" is prefetched.

As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
lines.

This can be problematic if some chains are very long.

2) The goal
-----------

The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
using one cache line per iteration.

3) Description of the patch
---------------------------

Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.

struct sock_common {
	unsigned short		skc_family;
	volatile unsigned char	skc_state;
	unsigned char		skc_reuse;
	int			skc_bound_dev_if;
	struct hlist_node	skc_node;
	struct hlist_node	skc_bind_node;
	atomic_t		skc_refcnt;
+	unsigned int		skc_hash;
	struct proto		*skc_prot;
};

Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
line in case of a miss.

Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
(ehash_size - 1)

File include/net/inet_hashtables.h

64 bits platforms :
#define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
     (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))
     ((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie))   &&  \
     ((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports))   &&  \
     (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))

32bits platforms:
#define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
     (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))                 &&  \
     (inet_sk(__sk)->daddr          == (__saddr))   &&  \
     (inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr      == (__daddr))   &&  \
     (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))


- Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in 
__inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and 
__inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and 
__dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the 
list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);

325ed82393 [NET]: Fix packet timestamping.
I've found the problem in general.  It affects any 64-bit
architecture.  The problem occurs when you change the system time.

Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base.  You then wind the clock back
by a day.  From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.

In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.

When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

09e9ec8711 [TCP]: Don't over-clamp window in tcp_clamp_window()
From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>

Handle better the case where the sender sends full sized
frames initially, then moves to a mode where it trickles
out small amounts of data at a time.

This known problem is even mentioned in the comments
above tcp_grow_window() in tcp_input.c, specifically:

...
 * The scheme does not work when sender sends good segments opening
 * window and then starts to feed us spagetti. But it should work
 * in common situations. Otherwise, we have to rely on queue collapsing.
...

When the sender gives full sized frames, the "struct sk_buff" overhead
from each packet is small.  So we'll advertize a larger window.
If the sender moves to a mode where small segments are sent, this
ratio becomes tilted to the other extreme and we start overrunning
the socket buffer space.

tcp_clamp_window() tries to address this, but it's clamping of
tp->window_clamp is a wee bit too aggressive for this particular case.

Fix confirmed by Ion Badulescu.

01ff367e62 [TCP]: Revert 6b251858d3
But retain the comment fix.

Alexey Kuznetsov has explained the situation as follows:

--------------------

I think the fix is incorrect. Look, the RFC function init_cwnd(mss) is
not continuous: f.e. for mss=1095 it needs initial window 1095*4, but
for mss=1096 it is 1096*3. We do not know exactly what mss sender used
for calculations. If we advertised 1096 (and calculate initial window
3*1096), the sender could limit it to some value < 1096 and then it
will need window his_mss*4 > 3*1096 to send initial burst.

See?

So, the honest function for inital rcv_wnd derived from
tcp_init_cwnd() is:

	init_rcv_wnd(mss)=
	  min { init_cwnd(mss1)*mss1 for mss1 <= mss }

It is something sort of:

	if (mss < 1096)
		return mss*4;
	if (mss < 1096*2)
		return 1096*4;
	return mss*2;

(I just scrablled a graph of piece of paper, it is difficult to see or
to explain without this)

I selected it differently giving more window than it is strictly
required.  Initial receive window must be large enough to allow sender
following to the rfc (or just setting initial cwnd to 2) to send
initial burst.  But besides that it is arbitrary, so I decided to give
slack space of one segment.

Actually, the logic was:

If mss is low/normal (<=ethernet), set window to receive more than
initial burst allowed by rfc under the worst conditions
i.e. mss*4. This gives slack space of 1 segment for ethernet frames.

For msses slighlty more than ethernet frame, take 3. Try to give slack
space of 1 frame again.

If mss is huge, force 2*mss. No slack space.

Value 1460*3 is really confusing. Minimal one is 1096*2, but besides
that it is an arbitrary value. It was meant to be ~4096. 1460*3 is
just the magic number from RFC, 1460*3 = 1095*4 is the magic :-), so
that I guess hands typed this themselves.

64233bffbb [APPLETALK]: Fix broadcast bug.
From: Oliver Dawid <oliver@helios.de>

we found a bug in net/appletalk/ddp.c concerning broadcast packets. In 
kernel 2.4 it was working fine. The bug first occured 4 years ago when 
switching to new SNAP layer handling. This bug can be splitted up into a 
sending(1) and reception(2) problem:

Sending(1)
In kernel 2.4 broadcast packets were sent to a matching ethernet device 
and atalk_rcv() was called to receive it as "loopback" (so loopback 
packets were shortcutted and handled in DDP layer).

When switching to the new SNAP structure, this shortcut was removed and 
the loopback packet was send to SNAP layer. The author forgot to replace 
the remote device pointer by the loopback device pointer before sending 
the packet to SNAP layer (by calling ddp_dl->request() ) therfor the 
packet was not sent back by underlying layers to ddp's atalk_rcv().

Reception(2)
In atalk_rcv() a packet received by this loopback mechanism contains now 
the (rigth) loopback device pointer (in Kernel 2.4 it was the (wrong) 
remote ethernet device pointer) and therefor no matching socket will be 
found to deliver this packet to. Because a broadcast packet should be 
send to the first matching socket (as it is done in many other protocols 
(?)), we removed the network comparison in broadcast case.

Below you will find a patch to correct this bug. Its diffed to kernel 
2.6.14-rc1

ba645c1602 [NET]: Slightly optimize ethernet address comparison.
We know the thing is at least 2-byte aligned, so take
advantage of that instead of invoking memcmp() which
results in truly horrifically inefficient code because
it can't assume anything about alignment.

a79af59efd [NET]: Fix module reference counts for loadable protocol modules
I have been experimenting with loadable protocol modules, and ran into
several issues with module reference counting.

The first issue was that __module_get failed at the BUG_ON check at
the top of the routine (checking that my module reference count was
not zero) when I created the first socket. When sk_alloc() is called,
my module reference count was still 0. When I looked at why sctp
didn't have this problem, I discovered that sctp creates a control
socket during module init (when the module ref count is not 0), which
keeps the reference count non-zero. This section has been updated to
address the point Stephen raised about checking the return value of
try_module_get().

The next problem arose when my socket init routine returned an error.
This resulted in my module reference count being decremented below 0.
My socket ops->release routine was also being called. The issue here
is that sock_release() calls the ops->release routine and decrements
the ref count if sock->ops is not NULL. Since the socket probably
didn't get correctly initialized, this should not be done, so we will
set sock->ops to NULL because we will not call try_module_get().

While searching for another bug, I also noticed that sys_accept() has
a possibility of doing a module_put() when it did not do an
__module_get so I re-ordered the call to security_socket_accept().
