* [IPV6]: route6 remove ifdef for fib_rulesDaniel Lezcano2008-01-281-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | The patch defines the usual static inline functions when the code is disabled for fib6_rules. That's allow to remove some ifdef in route.c file and make the code a little more clear.

* [NET] sysctl: make sysctl_somaxconn per-namespacePavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Just move the variable on the struct net and adjust its usage. Others sysctls from sys.net.core table are more difficult to virtualize (i.e. make them per-namespace), but I'll look at them as well a bit later.

* [NET] sysctl: make the sys.net.core sysctls per-namespacePavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Making them per-namespace is required for the following two reasons: First, some ctl values have a per-namespace meaning. Second, making them writable from the sub-namespace is an isolation hole. So I introduce the pernet operations to create these tables. For init_net I use the existing statically declared tables, for sub-namespace they are duplicated and the write bits are removed from the mode.

* [IPV6]: Make ip6_route_init to return an error code.Daniel Lezcano2008-01-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The route initialization function does not return any value to notify if the initialization is successful or not. This patch checks all calls made for the initilization in order to return a value for the caller. Unfortunately, proc_net_fops_create will return a NULL pointer if CONFIG_PROC_FS is off, so we can not check the return code without an ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS block in the ip6_route_init function.

* [TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache useIlpo Järvinen2008-01-281-1/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Key points of this patch are: - In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb processing below previously discovered highest point is done - Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's significant, I'm not too sure. Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window size (can be done incrementally later). Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache, most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of costly cache misses on the way, etc.! Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff, fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as a replacement. Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath", though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache friendly. The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath "special case". DSACKs are special case that must always be walked. The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that is left to a separate patch.

* [NET]: Move sock_valbool_flag to socket.cPavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-8/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sock_valbool_flag() helper is used in setsockopt to set or reset some flag on the sock. This helper is required in the net/socket.c only, so move it there. Besides, patch two places in sys_setsockopt() that repeat this helper functionality manually. Since this is not a bugfix, but a trivial cleanup, I prepared this patch against net-2.6.25, but it also applies (with a single offset) to the latest net-2.6.

* [NET]: Move Qdisc_class_ops and Qdisc_ops in appropriate sections.Eric Dumazet2008-01-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Qdisc_class_ops are const, and Qdisc_ops are mostly read. Using "const" and "__read_mostly" qualifiers helps to reduce false sharing. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
