Ying Xue says: ==================== standardize TIPC SKB queue operations Now the following SKB queues are created and maintained within internal TIPC stack: - link transmission queue - link deferred queue - link receive queue - socket outgoing packet chain - name table outgoing packet chain In order to manage above queues, TIPC stack declares a sk_buff pointer for each queue to record its head, and directly modifies "prev" and "next" SKB pointers of SKB structure when inserting or deleting a SKB to or from the queue. As these operations are pretty complex, they easily involve fatal mistakes. If these sk_buff pointers are replaced with sk_buff_head instances as queue heads and corresponding generic SKB list APIs are used to manage them, the entire TIPC code would become quite clean and readable. But before make the change, we need to clean up below redundant functionalities: - remove node subscribe infrastructure - remove protocol message queue - remove retransmission queue - clean up process of pushing packets in link layer ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The pseudo message types of BUNDLE_CLOSED as well as BUNDLE_OPEN are used to flag whether or not more messages can be bundled into a data packet in the outgoing transmission queue. Obviously, no more messages can be appended after the packet has been sent and is waiting to be acknowledged and deleted. These message types do in reality represent a send-side local implementation flag, and are not defined as part of the protocol. It is therefore safe to move it to to where it belongs, that is, the control area (TIPC_SKB_CB) of the buffer.

In original tipc_link_push_packet(), it pushes messages from protocol message queue, retransmission queue and next_out queue. But as the two first queues are removed, we can simplify its relevant code through deleting tipc_link_push_queue().

TIPC protocol message queue is intended to save one protocol message when bearer is congested so that the message stored in the queue can be immediately transmitted when bearer congestion is released.

The node subscribe infrastructure represents a virtual base class, so its users, such as struct tipc_port and struct publication, can derive its implemented functionalities. However, after the removal of struct tipc_port, struct publication is left as its only single user now. So defining an abstract infrastructure for one user becomes no longer reasonable. If corresponding new functions associated with the infrastructure are moved to name_table.c file, the node subscription infrastructure can be removed as well.

The "init_net" test in function addrconf_exit_net is introduced in commit 44a6bd29 [Create ipv6 devconf-s for namespaces] to avoid freeing init_net. In commit c900a800 [ipv6: fix bad free of addrconf_init_net], function addrconf_init_net will allocate memory for every net regardless of init_net. In this case, it is unnecessary to make "init_net" test.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== gue: Generalize remote checksum offload The remote checksum offload is generalized by creating a common function (remcsum_adjust) that does the work of modifying the checksum in remote checksum offload. This function can be called from normal or GRO path. GUE was modified to use this function. Remote checksum offload is described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-01 Tested by running 200 TCP_STREAM connections over GUE, did not see any problems with remote checksum offload enabled. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Change remote checksum offload to call remcsum_adjust. This also eliminates the optimization to skip an IP header as part of the adjustment (really does not seem to be much of a win). Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This function does the work to update a checksum field as part of remote checksum offload. remcsum_adjust does the following: 1) Subtract out the calculated checksum from the beginning of the packet (ptr arg) to the start offset. 2) Adjust the checksum field indicated by offset based on the modified checksum value from above step. 3) Return the difference in the old checksum field value and the new one. The caller will use this to update skb->csum and NAPI csum. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

FQ/pacing has a clamp of delay of 125 ms, to avoid some possible harm. It turns out this delay is too small to allow pacing low rates : Some ISP setup very aggressive policers as low as 16kbit. Now TCP stack has spurious rtx prevention, it seems safe to increase this fixed parameter, without adding a qdisc attribute.

Geert Uytterhoeven authored
Add minimal runtime PM support (enable on probe, disable on remove), to ensure proper operation with a parent device that uses runtime PM. This is needed on systems where the external bus controller module of the SoC is contained in a PM domain and/or has a gateable functional clock. In such cases, before accessing any device connected to the external bus, the PM domain must be powered up, and/or the functional clock must be enabled, which is typically handled through runtime PM by the bus controller driver. An example of this is the kzm9g development board, where an smsc9220 Ethernet controller is connected to the Bus State Controller (BSC) of a Renesas sh73a0 SoC.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== netfilter/ipvs updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree, this includes the NAT redirection support for nf_tables, the cgroup support for nft meta and conntrack zone support for the connlimit match. Coming after those, a bunch of sparse warning fixes, missing netns bits and cleanups. More specifically, they are: 1) Prepare IPv4 and IPv6 NAT redirect code to use it from nf_tables, patches from Arturo Borrero. 2) Introduce the nf_tables redir expression, from Arturo Borrero. 3) Remove an unnecessary assignment in ip_vs_xmit/__ip_vs_get_out_rt(). Patch from Alex Gartrell. 4) Add nft_log_dereference() macro to the nf_log infrastructure, patch from Marcelo Leitner. 5) Add some extra validation when registering logger families, also from Marcelo. 6) Some spelling cleanups from stephen hemminger. 7) Fix sparse warning in nf_logger_find_get(). 8) Add cgroup support to nf_tables meta, patch from Ana Rey. 9) A Kconfig fix for the new redir expression and fix sparse warnings in the new redir expression. 10) Fix several sparse warnings in the netfilter tree, from Florian Westphal. 11) Reduce verbosity when OOM in nfnetlink_log. User can basically do nothing when this situation occurs. 12) Add conntrack zone support to xt_connlimit, again from Florian. 13) Add netnamespace support to the h323 conntrack helper, contributed by Vasily Averin. 14) Remove unnecessary nul-pointer checks before free_percpu() and module_put(), from Markus Elfring. 15) Use pr_fmt in nfnetlink_log, again patch from Marcelo Leitner. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This driver is very similar to the macvlan driver except that it uses L3 on the frame to determine the logical interface while functioning as packet dispatcher. It inherits L2 of the master device hence the packets on wire will have the same L2 for all the packets originating from all virtual devices off of the same master device. This driver was developed keeping the namespace use-case in mind. Hence most of the examples given here take that as the base setup where main-device belongs to the default-ns and virtual devices are assigned to the additional namespaces. The device operates in two different modes and the difference in these two modes in primarily in the TX side. (a) L2 mode : In this mode, the device behaves as a L2 device. TX processing upto L2 happens on the stack of the virtual device associated with (namespace). Packets are switched after that into the main device (default-ns) and queued for xmit. RX processing is simple and all multicast, broadcast (if applicable), and unicast belonging to the address(es) are delivered to the virtual devices. (b) L3 mode : In this mode, the device behaves like a L3 device. TX processing upto L3 happens on the stack of the virtual device associated with (namespace). Packets are switched to the main-device (default-ns) for the L2 processing. Hence the routing table of the default-ns will be used in this mode. RX processins is somewhat similar to the L2 mode except that in this mode only Unicast packets are delivered to the virtual device while main-dev will handle all other packets. The devices can be added using the "ip" command from the iproute2 package - ip link add link <master> <virtual> type ipvlan mode [ l2 | l3 ] Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Cc: Laurent Chavey <chavey@google.com> Cc: Tim Hockin <thockin@google.com> Cc: Brandon Philips <brandon.philips@coreos.com> Cc: Pavel Emelianov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
