| * netfilter: ebtables: make broute table work againFlorian Westphal2011-01-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | broute table init hook sets up the "br_should_route_hook" pointer, which then gets called from br_input. commit a386f99025f13b32502fe5dedf223c20d7283826 (bridge: add proper RCU annotation to should_route_hook) introduced a typedef, and then changed this to: br_should_route_hook_t *rhook; [..] rhook = rcu_dereference(br_should_route_hook); if (*rhook(skb)) problem is that "br_should_route_hook" contains the address of the function, so calling *rhook() results in kernel panic.

| * netfilter: fix race in conntrack between dump_table and destroyStephen Hemminger2011-01-111-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The netlink interface to dump the connection tracking table has a race when entries are deleted at the same time. A customer reported a crash and the backtrace showed thatctnetlink_dump_table was running while a conntrack entry was being destroyed. (see https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6402). According to RCU documentation, when using hlist_nulls the reader must handle the case of seeing a deleted entry and not proceed further down the linked list. The old code would continue which caused the scan to walk into the free list. This patch uses locking (rather than RCU) for this operation which is guaranteed safe, and no longer requires getting reference while doing dump operation.

| * netfilter: x_tables: dont block BH while reading countersEric Dumazet2011-01-105-99/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using "iptables -L" with a lot of rules have a too big BH latency. Jesper mentioned ~6 ms and worried of frame drops. Switch to a per_cpu seqlock scheme, so that taking a snapshot of counters doesnt need to block BH (for this cpu, but also other cpus). This adds two increments on seqlock sequence per ipt_do_table() call, its a reasonable cost for allowing "iptables -L" not block BH processing.

Because these are in different coherency domains, the write to the VF's PL-register-backed Mailbox Control can race in front of the writes to the MA-backed VF Mailbox Data "registers". So we need to do a read-back on at least one byte of the VF Mailbox Data registers before doing the write to the VF Mailbox Control register.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds a compressed input type for atr signature hash computation. It also drops the use of the set functions when setting up the ATR input since we can then directly setup the hash input as two dwords that can be stored and passed as registers. With these changes the cost of computing the has is low enough that we can perform a hash computation on each TCP SYN flagged packet allowing us to drop the number of flow director misses considerably in tests such as netperf TCP_CRR.

In doing so, this fixes a problem where scatter/gather should not be used because the card does not support checksum offloading on that type of packet. On device registration we only check that some form of checksum offloading is available if scatter/gatther is enabled but we must also check at transmission time.

* net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features().Jesse Gross2011-01-092-10/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netif_get_vlan_features() is currently only used by netif_needs_gso(), so it only concerns itself with GSO features. However, several other places also should take into account the contents of the packet when deciding whether to offload to hardware. This generalizes the function to return features about all of the various forms of offloading. Since offloads tend to be linked together, this avoids duplicating the logic in each location (i.e. the scatter/gather code also needs the checksum logic).

* net offloading: Accept NETIF_F_HW_CSUM for all protocols.Jesse Gross2011-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently only have software fallback for one type of checksum: the TCP/UDP one's complement. This means that a protocol that uses hardware offloading for a different type of checksum (FCoE, SCTP) must directly check the device's features and do the right thing ahead of time. By the time we get to dev_can_checksum(), we're only deciding whether to apply the one algorithm in software or hardware. NETIF_F_HW_CSUM has the same capabilities as the software version, so we should always use it if present. The primary advantage of this is multiply tagged vlans can use hardware checksumming.

* netlink: test for all flags of the NLM_F_DUMP compositeJan Engelhardt2011-01-095-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to NLM_F_DUMP is composed of two bits, NLM_F_ROOT | NLM_F_MATCH, when doing "if (x & NLM_F_DUMP)", it tests for _either_ of the bits being set. Because NLM_F_MATCH's value overlaps with NLM_F_EXCL, non-dump requests with NLM_F_EXCL set are mistaken as dump requests. Substitute the condition to test for _all_ bits being set.
