* arp/neighbour.h: Remove extern from function prototypesJoe Perches2013-08-011-50/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block. Reflow modified prototypes to 80 columns. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net neighbour, decnet: Ensure to align device private data on preferred ↵YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明2013-02-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alignment. To allow both of protocol-specific data and device-specific data attached with neighbour entry, and to eliminate size calculation cost when allocating entry, sizeof protocol-speicic data must be multiple of NEIGH_PRIV_ALIGN. On 64bit archs, sizeof(struct dn_neigh) is multiple of NEIGH_PRIV_ALIGN, but on 32bit archs, it was not. Introduce NEIGH_ENTRY_SPACE() macro to ensure that protocol-specific entry-size meets our requirement.

* net neigh: Optimize neighbor entry size calculation.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明2013-01-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When allocating memory for neighbour cache entry, if tbl->entry_size is not set, we always calculate sizeof(struct neighbour) + tbl->key_len, which is common in the same table. With this change, set tbl->entry_size during the table initialization phase, if it was not set, and use it in neigh_alloc() and neighbour_priv(). This change also allow us to have both of protocol private data and device priate data at tha same time. Note that the only user of prototcol private is DECnet and the only user of device private is ATM CLIP. Since those are exclusive, we have not been facing issues here.

* net: output path optimizationsEric Dumazet2012-08-081-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Avoid dirtying neighbour's confirmed field. TCP workloads hits this cache line for each incoming ACK. Lets write n->confirmed only if there is a jiffie change. 2) Optimize neigh_hh_output() for the common Ethernet case, were hh_len is less than 16 bytes. Replace the memcpy() call by two inlined 64bit load/stores on x86_64. Bench results using udpflood test, with -C option (MSG_CONFIRM flag added to sendto(), to reproduce the n->confirmed dirtying on UDP) 24 threads doing 1.000.000 UDP sendto() on dummy device, 4 runs. before : 2.247s, 2.235s, 2.247s, 2.318s after : 1.884s, 1.905s, 1.891s, 1.895s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: Do delayed neigh confirmation.David S. Miller2012-07-051-15/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a dst_confirm() happens, mark the confirmation as pending in the dst. Then on the next packet out, when we have the neigh in-hand, do the update. This removes the dependency in dst_confirm() of dst's having an attached neigh. While we're here, remove the explicit 'dst' NULL check, all except 2 or 3 call sites ensure it's not NULL. So just fix those cases up. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* neigh: RCU conversion of struct neighbourEric Dumazet2010-10-071-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the second step for neighbour RCU conversion. (first was commit d6bf7817 : RCU conversion of neigh hash table) neigh_lookup() becomes lockless, but still take a reference on found neighbour. (no more read_lock()/read_unlock() on tbl->lock) struct neighbour gets an additional rcu_head field and is freed after an RCU grace period. Future work would need to eventually not take a reference on neighbour for temporary dst (DST_NOCACHE), but this would need dst->_neighbour to use a noref bit like we did for skb->_dst.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - fix IP DNAT on vlan- or pppoe-encapsulated traffic: The functions neigh_hh_output() or dst->neighbour->output() overwrite the complete Ethernet header, although we only need the destination MAC address. For encapsulated packets, they ended up overwriting the encapsulating header. The new code copies the Ethernet source MAC address and protocol number before calling dst->neighbour->output(). The Ethernet source MAC and protocol number are copied back in place in br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow(). This also makes the IP DNAT more transparent because in the old scheme the source MAC of the bridge was copied into the source address in the Ethernet header. We also let skb->protocol equal ETH_P_IP resp. ETH_P_IPV6 during the execution of the PF_INET resp. PF_INET6 hooks. - Speed up IP DNAT by calling neigh_hh_bridge() instead of neigh_hh_output(): if dst->hh is available, we already know the MAC address so we can just copy it.

| * [NEIGH]: Fix race between pneigh deletion and ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns (v3).Pavel Emelyanov2008-03-241-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine) should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry. There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns() uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER. This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped and the deleting procedure may proceed. One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too big for -rc4. So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check the flags on alive pneigh entry. Changes from v2: As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module. The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony. Changes from v1: Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized by gcc.

* | [NET] NETNS: Omit neigh_parms->net and pneigh_entry->net without CONFIG_NET_NS.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki2008-03-251-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce neigh_parms/pneigh_entry inlines: neigh_parms_net(), pneigh_net(). Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists. Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>
* | [NET] NEIGHBOUR: Remove unpopular neigh_is_connected().YOSHIFUJI Hideaki2008-03-041-6/+0
|/ | | | | | | | neigh_is_connected() is not popular at all, and the only user drivers/net/cxgb3/l2t.c:t3_l2t_update() also have raw (expanded) expression. Let's expand it and remove the inline function. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>

* [NEIGH]: Add a comment describing what a NUD stands for.Pavel Emelyanov2008-01-291-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | When I studied the neighbor code I puzzled over what the NUD can mean for quite a long time. Finally I asked Alexey and he said that this was smth like "neighbor unreachability detection". Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
