net: Correct the comment of dst_dev_put()

2020-09-10T20:28:57+00:00

Since commit 8d7017fd621d ("blackhole_netdev: use blackhole_netdev to invalidate dst entries"), we use blackhole_netdev to invalidate dst entries instead of loopback device anymore. Signed-off-by: Miaohe Lin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/dst: use a smaller percpu_counter batch for dst entries accounting

2020-05-09T04:33:33+00:00

percpu_counter_add() uses a default batch size which is quite big on platforms with 256 cpus. (2*256 -> 512) This means dst_entries_get_fast() can be off by +/- 2*(nr_cpus^2) (131072 on servers with 256 cpus) Reduce the batch size to something more reasonable, and add logic to ip6_dst_gc() to call dst_entries_get_slow() before calling the _very_ expensive fib6_run_gc() function.

net: print proper warning on dst underflow

2019-09-26T07:05:56+00:00

Proper warnings with stack traces make it much easier to figure out what's doing the double free and create more meaningful bug reports from users. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

blackhole_netdev: use blackhole_netdev to invalidate dst entries

net: dst: remove gc leftovers

net: add a route cache full diagnostic message

2019-01-17T23:37:25+00:00

In some testing scenarios, dst/route cache can fill up so quickly that even an explicit GC call occasionally fails to clean it up. This leads to sporadically failing calls to dst_alloc and "network unreachable" errors to the user, which is confusing. This patch adds a diagnostic message to make the cause of the failure easier to determine. Signed-off-by: Peter Oskolkov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netfilter: nf_tables: add tunnel support

2018-08-03T19:12:12+00:00

This patch implements the tunnel object type that can be used to configure tunnels via metadata template through the existing lightweight API from the ingress path. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

net/ipv6: move metrics from dst to rt6_info

2018-04-18T03:41:16+00:00

Similar to IPv4, add fib metrics to the fib struct, which at the moment is rt6_info. Will be moved to fib6_info in a later patch. Copy metrics into dst by reference using refcount. To make the transition: - add dst_metrics to rt6_info. Default to dst_default_metrics if no metrics are passed during route add. No need for a separate pmtu entry; it can reference the MTU slot in fib6_metrics - ip6_convert_metrics allocates memory in the FIB entry and uses ip_metrics_convert to copy from netlink attribute to metrics entry - the convert metrics call is done in ip6_route_info_create simplifying the route add path + fib6_commit_metrics and fib6_copy_metrics and the temporary mx6_config are no longer needed - add fib6_metric_set helper to change the value of a metric in the fib entry since dst_metric_set can no longer be used - cow_metrics for IPv6 can drop to dst_cow_metrics_generic - rt6_dst_from_metrics_check is no longer needed - rt6_fill_node needs the FIB entry and dst as separate arguments to keep compatibility with existing output. Current dst address is renamed to dest. (to be consistent with IPv4 rt6_fill_node really should be split into 2 functions similar to fib_dump_info and rt_fill_info) - rt6_fill_node no longer needs the temporary metrics variable Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.
