ipv4: introduce rt_uses_gateway

2012-10-08T21:42:36Z

Add new flag to remember when route is via gateway. We will use it to allow rt_gateway to contain address of directly connected host for the cases when DST_NOCACHE is used or when the NH exception caches per-destination route without DST_NOCACHE flag, i.e. when routes are not used for other destinations. By this way we force the neighbour resolving to work with the routed destination but we can use different address in the packet, feature needed for IPVS-DR where original packet for virtual IP is routed via route to real IP.

ipv4: fix forwarding for strict source routes

2012-10-08T21:42:35Z

After the change "Adjust semantics of rt->rt_gateway" (commit f8126f1d51) rt_gateway can be 0 but ip_forward() compares it directly with nexthop. What we want here is to check if traffic is to directly connected nexthop and to fail if using gateway. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

snmp: fix OutOctets counter to include forwarded datagrams

2012-06-07T21:50:56Z

RFC 4293 defines ipIfStatsOutOctets (similar definition for ipSystemStatsOutOctets): The total number of octets in IP datagrams delivered to the lower layers for transmission. Octets from datagrams counted in ipIfStatsOutTransmits MUST be counted here. And ipIfStatsOutTransmits: The total number of IP datagrams that this entity supplied to the lower layers for transmission. This includes datagrams generated locally and those forwarded by this entity. Therefore, IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS must be incremented when incrementing IPSTATS_MIB_OUTFORWDATAGRAMS. IP_UPD_PO_STATS is not used since ipIfStatsOutRequests must not include forwarded datagrams: The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission. Note that this counter does not include any datagrams counted in ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams. Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: fix checkpatch errors

ipv4: Save nexthop address of LSRR/SSRR option to IPCB.

2011-11-24T00:19:32Z

We can not update iph->daddr in ip_options_rcv_srr(), It is too early. When some exception ocurred later (eg. in ip_forward() when goto sr_failed) we need the ip header be identical to the original one as ICMP need it. Add a field 'nexthop' in struct ip_options to save nexthop of LSRR or SSRR option. Signed-off-by: Li Wei Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Fix 'iph' use before set.

I swear none of my compilers warned about this, yet it is so obvious. > net/ipv4/ip_forward.c: In function 'ip_forward': > net/ipv4/ip_forward.c:87: warning: 'iph' may be used uninitialized in this function Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Elide use of rt->rt_dst in ip_forward()

2011-05-12T23:34:30Z

No matter what kind of header mangling occurs due to IP options processing, rt->rt_dst will always equal iph->daddr in the packet. So we can safely use iph->daddr instead of rt->rt_dst here. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-next: remove useless union keyword

2010-06-11T06:31:35Z

remove useless union keyword in rtable, rt6_info and dn_route. Since there is only one member in a union, the union keyword isn't useful. Signed-off-by: Changli Gao Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
