lib/rhashtable: fix comment on locks_mul default value

2017-09-09T01:26:49Z

As of commit 4cf0b354d92 ("rhashtable: avoid large lock-array allocations"), the default value for the locks multiplier was reduced from 128 to 32. Update the header file to reflect this.

rhashtable: compact struct rhashtable_params

2017-05-01T20:22:40Z

By using smaller datatypes this (rather large) struct shrinks considerably (80 -> 48 bytes on x86_64). As this is embedded in other structs, this also rerduces size of several others, e.g. cls_fl_head or nft_hash. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rhashtable: Cap total number of entries to 2^31

2017-04-27T15:48:24Z

When max_size is not set or if it set to a sufficiently large value, the nelems counter can overflow. This would cause havoc with the automatic shrinking as it would then attempt to fit a huge number of entries into a tiny hash table. This patch fixes this by adding max_elems to struct rhashtable to cap the number of elements. This is set to 2^31 as nelems is not a precise count. This is sufficiently smaller than UINT_MAX that it should be safe. When max_size is set max_elems will be lowered to at most twice max_size as is the status quo.

rhashtable: remove insecure_max_entries param

2017-04-26T18:39:24Z

no users in the tree, insecure_max_entries is always set to ht->p.max_size * 2 in rhtashtable_init(). Replace only spot that uses it with a ht->p.max_size check. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rhashtable: remove insecure_elasticity

2017-04-18T17:49:14Z

commit 83e7e4ce9e93c3 ("mac80211: Use rhltable instead of rhashtable") removed the last user that made use of 'insecure_elasticity' parameter, i.e. the default of 16 is used everywhere. Replace it with a constant. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rhashtable: Add rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast

2017-03-22T00:52:45Z

Add rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast for fixed keys, similar to rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_key for explicit keys. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher Acked-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sched/headers: Prepare to use instead of in

2017-03-02T07:42:38Z

We don't actually need the full rculist.h header in sched.h anymore, we will be able to include the smaller rcupdate.h header instead. But first update code that relied on the implicit header inclusion.

rhashtable: Add nested tables

2017-02-17T17:28:35Z

This patch adds code that handles GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc failure on insertion. As we cannot use vmalloc, we solve it by making our hash table nested. That is, we allocate single pages at each level and reach our desired table size by nesting them. When a nested table is created, only a single page is allocated at the top-level. Lower levels are allocated on demand during insertion. Therefore for each insertion to succeed, only two (non-consecutive) pages are needed. After a nested table is created, a rehash will be scheduled in order to switch to a vmalloced table as soon as possible. Also, the rehash code will never rehash into a nested table. If we detect a nested table during a rehash, the rehash will be aborted and a new rehash will be scheduled. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rhashtable: Add rhlist interface

2016-09-20T08:43:36Z

The insecure_elasticity setting is an ugly wart brought out by users who need to insert duplicate objects (that is, distinct objects with identical keys) into the same table. In fact, those users have a much bigger problem. Once those duplicate objects are inserted, they don't have an interface to find them (unless you count the walker interface which walks over the entire table). Some users have resorted to doing a manual walk over the hash table which is of course broken because they don't handle the potential existence of multiple hash tables. The result is that they will break sporadically when they encounter a hash table resize/rehash. This patch provides a way out for those users, at the expense of an extra pointer per object. Essentially each object is now a list of objects carrying the same key. The hash table will only see the lists so nothing changes as far as rhashtable is concerned. To use this new interface, you need to insert a struct rhlist_head into your objects instead of struct rhash_head. While the hash table is unchanged, for type-safety you'll need to use struct rhltable instead of struct rhashtable. All the existing interfaces have been duplicated for rhlist, including the hash table walker. One missing feature is nulls marking because AFAIK the only potential user of it does not need duplicate objects. Should anyone need this it shouldn't be too hard to add.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree. Most relevant updates are the removal of per-conntrack timers to use a workqueue/garbage collection approach instead from Florian Westphal, the hash and numgen expression for nf_tables from Laura Garcia, updates on nf_tables hash set to honor the NLM_F_EXCL flag, removal of ip_conntrack sysctl and many other incremental updates on our Netfilter codebase. More specifically, they are: 1) Retrieve only 4 bytes to fetch ports in case of non-linear skb transport area in dccp, sctp, tcp, udp and udplite protocol conntrackers, from Gao Feng. 2) Missing whitespace on error message in physdev match, from Hangbin Liu. 3) Skip redundant IPv4 checksum calculation in nf_dup_ipv4, from Liping Zhang. 4) Add nf_ct_expires() helper function and use it, from Florian Westphal. 5) Replace opencoded nf_ct_kill() call in IPVS conntrack support, also from Florian. 6) Rename nf_tables set implementation to nft_set_{name}.c 7) Introduce the hash expression to allow arbitrary hashing of selector concatenations, from Laura Garcia Liebana. 8) Remove ip_conntrack sysctl backward compatibility code, this code has been around for long time already, and we have two interfaces to do this already: nf_conntrack sysctl and ctnetlink. 9) Use nf_conntrack_get_ht() helper function whenever possible, instead of opencoding fetch of hashtable pointer and size, patch from Liping Zhang. 10) Add quota expression for nf_tables. 11) Add number generator expression for nf_tables, this supports incremental and random generators that can be combined with maps, very useful for load balancing purpose, again from Laura Garcia Liebana. 12) Fix a typo in a debug message in FTP conntrack helper, from Colin Ian King. 13) Introduce a nft_chain_parse_hook() helper function to parse chain hook configuration, this is used by a follow up patch to perform better chain update validation. 14) Add rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_key() to rhashtable and use it from the nft_set_hash implementation to honor the NLM_F_EXCL flag. 15) Missing nulls check in nf_conntrack from nf_conntrack_tuple_taken(), patch from Florian Westphal. 16) Don't use the DYING bit to know if the conntrack event has been already delivered, instead a state variable to track event re-delivery states, also from Florian. 17) Remove the per-conntrack timer, use the workqueue approach that was discussed during the NFWS, from Florian Westphal. 18) Use the netlink conntrack table dump path to kill stale entries, again from Florian. 19) Add a garbage collector to get rid of stale conntracks, from Florian. 20) Reschedule garbage collector if eviction rate is high. 21) Get rid of the __nf_ct_kill_acct() helper. 22) Use ARPHRD_ETHER instead of hardcoded 1 from ARP logger. 23) Make nf_log_set() interface assertive on unsupported families. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
