[AF_PACKET]: Kill CONFIG_PACKET_SOCKET.

2007-05-31T08:23:32Z

Always set, but af_packet.c, not by the Kconfig subsystem, so just get rid of it. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[AF_PACKET]: Kill bogus CONFIG_PACKET_MULTICAST

2007-05-31T08:23:30Z

It is unconditionally set by af_packet.c, not by the Kconfig subsystem, so just kill it off. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[AF_PACKET]: Add option to return orig_dev to userspace.

2007-04-26T05:29:14Z

Add a packet socket option to allow the orig_dev index to be returned to userspace when passing traffic through a decapsulated device, such as the bonding driver. This is very useful for layer 2 traffic being able to report which physical device actually received the traffic, instead of having the encapsulating device hide that information. The new option is called PACKET_ORIGDEV. Signed-off-by: Peter P. Waskiewicz Jr. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t

2007-04-26T05:26:28Z

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

[SK_BUFF]: unions of just one member don't get anything done, kill them

2007-04-26T05:26:20Z

Renaming skb->h to skb->transport_header, skb->nh to skb->network_header and skb->mac to skb->mac_header, to match the names of the associated helpers (skb[_[re]set]_{transport,network,mac}_header). Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_network_offset()

2007-04-26T05:24:58Z

For the quite common 'skb->nh.raw - skb->data' sequence. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_network_header(skb)

2007-04-26T05:24:46Z

For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more "complex" cases. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_mac_header()

2007-04-26T05:24:41Z

For the places where we need a pointer to the mac header, it is still legal to touch skb->mac.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it to another layer header. This one also converts some more cases to skb_reset_mac_header() that my regex missed as it had no spaces before nor after '=', ugh. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Introduce SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl to get timestamps with nanosec resolution

2007-04-26T05:24:04Z

Now network timestamps use ktime_t infrastructure, we can add a new ioctl() SIOCGSTAMPNS command to get timestamps in 'struct timespec'. User programs can thus access to nanosecond resolution. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_t

2007-04-26T05:23:34Z

We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain 'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct sock. This has some drawbacks : - Fixed resolution of micro second. - Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16 I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution. As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...) Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS) Note : this patch includes a bug correction in compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Stephen Hemminger CC: John find Signed-off-by: David S.
