| * net: Fix userspace RTM_NEWLINK notifications.Eric W. Biederman2009-12-132-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I received some bug reports about userspace programs having problems because after RTM_NEWLINK was received they could not immediate access files under /proc/sys/net/ because they had not been registered yet. The original problem was trivially fixed by moving the userspace notification from rtnetlink_event() to the end of register_netdevice(). When testing that change I discovered I was still getting RTM_NEWLINK events before I could access proc and I was also getting RTM_NEWLINK events after I was seeing RTM_DELLINK. Things practically guaranteed to confuse userspace. After a little more investigation these extra notifications proved to be from the new notifiers NETDEV_POST_INIT and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH hitting the default case in rtnetlink_event, and triggering unnecessary RTM_NEWLINK messages. rtnetlink_event now explicitly handles NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH and NETDEV_POST_INIT to avoid sending the incorrect userspace notifications.

* net: Handle NETREG_UNINITIALIZED devices correctlyKrishna Kumar2009-12-111-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix two problems: 1. If unregister_netdevice_many() is called with both registered and unregistered devices, rollback_registered_many() bails out when it reaches the first unregistered device. The processing of the prior registered devices is unfinished, and the remaining devices are skipped, and possible registered netdev's are leaked/unregistered. 2. System hangs or panics depending on how the devices are passed, since when netdev_run_todo() runs, some devices were not fully processed. Tested by passing intermingled unregistered and registered vlan devices to unregister_netdevice_many() as follows: 1. dev, fake_dev1, fake_dev2: hangs in run_todo ("unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1.100 to become free. Usage count = 1") 2. fake_dev1, dev, fake_dev2: failure during de-registration and next registration, followed by a vlan driver Oops during subsequent registration. Confirmed that the patch fixes both cases. Signed-off-by: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor the code so fib_rules_register always takes a template instead of the actual fib_rules_ops structure that will be used. This is required for network namespace support so 2 out of the 3 callers already do this, it allows the error handling to be made common, and it allows fib_rules_unregister to free the template for hte caller.

This can be used to force packets with a local destination out on the wire instead of routing them to loopback. Additionally this patch allows to recreate rules with a priority of 0. Combined with the previous patch to allow oif classification, a socket can be bound to the desired interface and packets routed to the wire like this: # move local rule to lower priority ip rule add pref 1000 lookup local ip rule del pref 0 # route packets of sockets bound to eth0 to the wire independant # of the destination address ip rule add pref 100 oif eth0 lookup 100 ip route add default dev eth0 table 100 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | net: Automatically allocate per namespace data.Eric W. Biederman2009-12-011-86/+102

When using register_pernet_gen_device and freeing the data in exit_net it is impossible to delay allocation until after exit_net has called as the device uninit methods are no longer safe. To correct this, and to simplify working with per network namespace data I have moved allocation and deletion of per network namespace data into the network namespace core. The core now frees the data only after all of the network namespace exit routines have run. Now it is only required to set the new fields .id and .size in the pernet_operations structure if you want network namespace data to be managed for you automatically. This makes the current register_pernet_gen_device and register_pernet_gen_subsys routines unnecessary. For the moment I have left them as compatibility wrappers in net_namespace.h They will be removed once all of the users have been updated. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| * | net: Batch network namespace destruction.Eric W. Biederman2009-12-011-8/+58

Either because they are nested one inside the other or because they are cooperating in multiple machine networking experiments. As the network stack control logic does not parallelize easily batch up multiple network namespaces existing together. To get the full benefit of batching the virtual network devices to be removed must be all removed in one batch. For that purpose I have added a loop after the last network device operations have run that batches up all remaining network devices and deletes them. An extra benefit is that the reorganization slightly shrinks the size of the per network namespace data structures replaceing a work_struct with a list_head. In a trivial test with 4K namespaces this change reduced the cost of a destroying 4K namespaces from 7+ minutes (at 12% cpu) to 44 seconds (at 60% cpu). The bulk of that 44s was spent in inet_twsk_purge. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The motivation for an additional notifier in batched netdevice notification (rt_do_flush) only needs to be called once per batch not once per namespace. For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly unregistered last. Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no explanation. So I have restored the original location of the final synchronize_net. Cc: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ? In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously. [PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105 real 0m0.266s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s real 0m0.770s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s real 0m1.022s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the holding of device done by following chain : vlan_dev_stop() -> netif_carrier_off(dev) -> linkwatch_fire_event(dev) -> dev_hold() ... And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later... A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method to unlink the device from the list of watched devices. dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory), to be able to unlink device in O(1).

This aim can be simplified by changing the order of NETDEV_TX and NET_XMIT codes, because the latter are treated similarly to negative (ERRNO) values. After this change much simpler dev_xmit_complete() is also used in sch_direct_xmit(), so it is moved to netdevice.h. Additionally NET_RX definitions in netdevice.h are moved up from between TX codes to avoid confusion while reading the TX comment.

This prevents any kind of error propagation for virtual devices, like queue congestion of the underlying device in case of layered devices, or unreachability in case of tunnels. This patches changes the NET_XMIT codes to avoid clashes with the NETDEV_TX codes and changes the two callers of dev_hard_start_xmit() to expect either errno codes, NET_XMIT codes or NETDEV_TX codes as return value. In case of qdisc_restart(), all non NETDEV_TX codes are mapped to NETDEV_TX_OK since no error propagation is possible when using qdiscs. In case of dev_queue_xmit(), the error is propagated upwards.

This is really a bug introduced when name hashing was added, back in 2.5 when I added name hashing. hash_32 is all that is needed since full_name_hash returns unsigned int which is only 32 bits on 64 bit platforms. Also, there is no point in using hash_32 on ifindex, because the is naturally sequential and usually well distributed.

This patch adds irqs_disabled() test to the skb_recycle_check() routine, so that we'll not let the drivers hit the skb recycling path with IRQs disabled. As a side effect, this patch actually disables skb recycling for some [broken] drivers. E.g. gianfar driver grabs an irqsave spinlock during TX ring processing, and then tries to recycle an skb, and that caused the following badness: nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (1008 buckets, 4032 max) ------------[ cut here ]------------ Badness at kernel/softirq.c:143 NIP: c003e3c4 LR: c423a528 CTR: c003e344 ...

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
