udp: add encap_destroy callback

2013-03-20T16:10:38+00:00

Users of udp encapsulation currently have an encap_rcv callback which they can use to hook into the udp receive path. In situations where a encapsulation user allocates resources associated with a udp encap socket, it may be convenient to be able to also hook the proto .destroy operation. For example, if an encap user holds a reference to the udp socket, the destroy hook might be used to relinquish this reference. This patch adds a socket destroy hook into udp, which is set and enabled in the same way as the existing encap_rcv hook. Signed-off-by: Tom Parkin Signed-off-by: James Chapman Signed-off-by: David S.

net: proc: change proc_net_remove to remove_proc_entry

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still need to call remove_proc_entry. this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove. we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE

2013-02-15T20:17:11+00:00

Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets. SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment need to push inner and outer headers to every segment. New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO always fall backs to software GSO.

soreuseport: UDP/IPv4 implementation

2013-01-23T18:44:01+00:00

Allow multiple UDP sockets to bind to the same port. Motivation soreuseport would be something like a DNS server. An alternative would be to recv on the same socket from multiple threads. As in the case of TCP, the load across these threads tends to be disproportionate and we also see a lot of contection on the socketlock. Note that SO_REUSEADDR already allows multiple UDP sockets to bind to the same port, however there is no provision to prevent hijacking and nothing to distribute packets across all the sockets sharing the same bound port. This patch does not change the semantics of SO_REUSEADDR, but provides usable functionality of it for unicast. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Add a socket release callback for datagram sockets

2013-01-21T19:17:05+00:00

This implements a socket release callback function to check if the socket cached route got invalid during the time we owned the socket. The function is used from udp, raw and ping sockets. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2012-10-02T18:11:09+00:00

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review. The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network. Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues. The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int. Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to handle those places with simple trivial patches. Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before. Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts for most of the code size growth in my git tree. Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications. While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty. Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no problems from identical code from different trees showing up in linux-next. After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."
