IPVS: Move IPVS to net/netfilter/ipvs

2008-10-06T21:38:24+00:00

Since IPVS now has partial IPv6 support, this patch moves IPVS from net/ipv4/ipvs to net/netfilter/ipvs. It's a result of: $ git mv net/ipv4/ipvs net/netfilter and adapting the relevant Kconfigs/Makefiles to the new path. Signed-off-by: Julius Volz Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

ipvs: Embed user stats structure into kernel stats structure

2008-09-08T23:53:08+00:00

Instead of duplicating the fields, integrate a user stats structure into the kernel stats structure. This is more robust when the members are changed, because they are now automatically kept in sync. Signed-off-by: Sven Wegener Reviewed-by: Julius Volz Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

ipvs: Create init functions for estimator code

2008-08-14T23:26:15+00:00

Commit 8ab19ea36c5c5340ff598e4d15fc084eb65671dc ("ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in estimator code") fixed a deadlock condition, but that condition can only happen during unload of IPVS, because during normal operation there is at least our global stats structure in the estimator list. The mod_timer() and del_timer_sync() calls are actually initialization and cleanup code in disguise. Let's make it explicit and move them to their own init and cleanup function.

ipvs: Embed estimator object into stats object

2008-08-11T12:00:43+00:00

There's no reason for dynamically allocating an estimator object for every stats object. Directly embed an estimator object into every stats object and switch to using the kernel-provided list implementation. This makes the code much simpler and faster, as we do not need to traverse the list of all estimators to find the one belonging to a stats object. There's no need to use an rwlock, as we only have one reader. Also reorder the members of the estimator structure slightly to avoid padding overhead. This can't be done with the stats object as the members are currently copied to our user space object via memcpy() and changing it would break ABI. Signed-off-by: Sven Wegener Acked-by: Simon Horman

ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in estimator code

2008-08-11T09:45:40+00:00

There is a slight chance for a deadlock in the estimator code. We can't call del_timer_sync() while holding our lock, as the timer might be active and spinning for the lock on another cpu. Work around this issue by using try_to_del_timer_sync() and releasing the lock. We could actually delete the timer outside of our lock, as the add and kill functions are only every called from userspace via [gs]etsockopt() and are serialized by a mutex, but better make this explicit.

[IPVS]: Switch to using ctl_paths.

2008-01-28T23:01:08+00:00

The feature of ipvs ctls is that the net/ipv4/vs path is common for core ipvs ctls and for two schedulers, so I make it exported and re-use it in modules. Two other .c files required linux/sysctl.h to make the extern declaration of this path compile well. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Acked-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Convert init_timer into setup_timer

2008-01-28T22:53:35+00:00

Many-many code in the kernel initialized the timer->function and timer->data together with calling init_timer(timer). There is already a helper for this. Use it for networking code. The patch is HUGE, but makes the code 130 lines shorter (98 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-)). Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
