2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2007-02-10[UDP]: UDP can use sk_hash to speedup lookupsEric Dumazet
In a prior patch, I introduced a sk_hash field (__sk_common.skc_hash) to let tcp lookups use one cache line per unmatched entry instead of two. We can also use sk_hash to speedup UDP part as well. We store in sk_hash the hnum value, and use sk->sk_hash (same cache line than 'next' pointer), instead of inet->num (different cache line) Note : We still have a false sharing problem for SMP machines, because sock_hold(sock) dirties the cache line containing the 'next' pointer.

2007-02-08[NET]: change layout of ehash tableEric Dumazet
ehash table layout is currently this one : First half of this table is used by sockets not in TIME_WAIT state Second half of it is used by sockets in TIME_WAIT state. This is non optimal because of for a given hash or socket, the two chain heads are located in separate cache lines. Moreover the locks of the second half are never used. If instead of this halving, we use two list heads in inet_ehash_bucket instead of only one, we probably can avoid one cache miss, and reduce ram usage, particularly if sizeof(rwlock_t) is big (various CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC settings). So we still halves the table but we keep together related chains to speedup lookups and socket state change. In this patch I did not try to align struct inet_ehash_bucket, but a future patch could try to make this structure have a convenient size (a power of two or a multiple of L1_CACHE_SIZE). I guess rwlock will just vanish as soon as RCU is plugged into ehash :) , so maybe we dont need to scratch our heads to align the bucket... Note : In case struct inet_ehash_bucket is not a power of two, we could probably change alloc_large_system_hash() (in case it use __get_free_pages()) to free the unused space. It currently allocates a big zone, but the last quarter of it could be freed. Again, this should be a temporary 'problem'. Patch tested on ipv4 tcp only, but should be OK for IPV6 and DCCP.

2007-01-30[IPV6]: fix BUG of ndisc_send_redirect()Li Yewang
When I tested IPv6 redirect function about kernel 2.6.19.1, and found that the kernel can send redirect packets whose target address is global address, and the target is not the actual endpoint of communication. But the criteria conform to RFC2461, the target address defines as following: Target Address An IP address that is a better first hop to use for he ICMP Destination Address. When the target is the actual endpoint of communication, i.e., the destination is a neighbor, the Target Address field MUST contain the same value as the ICMP Destination Address field. Otherwise the target is a better first-hop router and the Target Address MUST be the router's link-local address so that hosts can uniquely identify routers. According to this definition, when a router redirect to a host, the target address either the better first-hop router's link-local address or the same as the ICMP destination address field. But the function of ndisc_send_redirect() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c, does not check the target address correctly. There is another definition about receive Redirect message in RFC2461: 8.1. Validation of Redirect Messages A host MUST silently discard any received Redirect message that does not satisfy all of the following validity checks: ...... - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). ...... And the receive redirect function of ndisc_redirect_rcv() implemented this definition, checks the target address correctly. if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } So, I think the send redirect function must check the target address also.
