| * [IPV6] RAW: Don't release unlocked sock.Masahide NAKAMURA2006-12-071-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When user builds IPv6 header and send it through raw socket, kernel tries to release unlocked sock. (Kernel log shows "BUG: bad unlock balance detected" with enabled debug option.) The lock is held only for non-hdrincl sock in this function then this patch fix to do nothing about lock for hdrincl one.

| * [NETFILTER]: Fix {ip,ip6,arp}_tables hook validationDmitry Mishin2006-12-071-36/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 590bdf7fd2292b47c428111cb1360e312eff207e introduced a regression in match/target hook validation. mark_source_chains builds a bitmask for each rule representing the hooks it can be reached from, which is then used by the matches and targets to make sure they are only called from valid hooks. The patch moved the match/target specific validation before the mark_source_chains call, at which point the mask is always zero. This patch returns back to the old order and moves the standard checks to mark_source_chains. This allows to get rid of a special case for standard targets as a nice side-effect.

* | [PATCH] Allow NULL pointers in percpu_freeAlan Stern2006-12-071-4/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch (as824b) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one would expect for a deallocation routine. (Note that free_percpu is #defined as percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.) A few callers are updated to remove now-unneeded tests for NULL. A few other callers already seem to assume that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay! The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().

* [NETFILTER]: x_tables: add NFLOG targetPatrick McHardy2006-12-031-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Add new NFLOG target to allow use of nfnetlink_log for both IPv4 and IPv6. Currently we have two (unsupported by userspace) hacks in the LOG and ULOG targets to optionally call to the nflog API. They lack a few features, namely the IPv4 and IPv6 LOG targets can not specify a number of arguments related to nfnetlink_log, while the ULOG target is only available for IPv4. Remove those hacks and add a clean way to use nfnetlink_log. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

* [UDP(-Lite)]: consolidate v4 and v6 get|setsockopt codeGerrit Renker2006-12-031-109/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch consolidates set/getsockopt code between UDP(-Lite) v4 and 6. The justification is that UDP(-Lite) is a transport-layer protocol and therefore the socket option code (at least in theory) should be AF-independent. Furthermore, there is the following code reduplication: * do_udp{,v6}_getsockopt is 100% identical between v4 and v6 * do_udp{,v6}_setsockopt is identical up to the following differerence --v4 in contrast to v4 additionally allows the experimental encapsulation types UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP and UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE --the remainder is identical between v4 and v6 I believe that this difference is of little relevance. The advantages in not duplicating twice almost completely identical code. The patch further simplifies the interface of udp{,v6}_push_pending_frames, since for the second argument (struct udp_sock *up) it always holds that up = udp_sk(sk); where sk is the first function argument.

* [NET]: Size listen hash tables using backlog hintEric Dumazet2006-12-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently allocate a fixed size (TCP_SYNQ_HSIZE=512) slots hash table for each LISTEN socket, regardless of various parameters (listen backlog for example) On x86_64, this means order-1 allocations (might fail), even for 'small' sockets, expecting few connections. On the contrary, a huge server wanting a backlog of 50000 is slowed down a bit because of this fixed limit. This patch makes the sizing of listen hash table a dynamic parameter, depending of : - net.core.somaxconn tunable (default is 128) - net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog tunable (default : 256, 1024 or 128) - backlog value given by user application (2nd parameter of listen()) For large allocations (bigger than PAGE_SIZE), we use vmalloc() instead of kmalloc(). We still limit memory allocation with the two existing tunables (somaxconn & tcp_max_syn_backlog). So for standard setups, this patch actually reduce RAM usage.
