ipv4: Add FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH

2012-10-08T21:42:36Z

Add flag to request that output route should be returned with known rt_gateway, in case we want to use it as nexthop for neighbour resolving. The returned route can be cached as follows: - in NH exception: because the cached routes are not shared with other destinations - in FIB NH: when using gateway because all destinations for NH share same gateway As last option, to return rt_gateway!=0 we have to set DST_NOCACHE.

inet: Kill FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS.

2012-07-11T05:40:12Z

No longer needed. TCP writes metrics, but now in it's own special cache that does not dirty the route metrics. Therefore there is no longer any reason to pre-cow metrics in this way. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: tcp: dont cache output dst for syncookies

2012-06-23T04:47:33Z

Don't cache output dst for syncookies, as this adds pressure on IP route cache and rcu subsystem for no gain. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Hans Schillstrom Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: reset flowi parameters on route connect

2012-02-05T00:29:48Z

Eric Dumazet found that commit 813b3b5db83 (ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output route lookups.) that comes in 3.0 added a regression. The problem appears to be that resulting flowi4_oif is used incorrectly as input parameter to some routing lookups. The result is that when connecting to local port without listener if the IP address that is used is not on a loopback interface we incorrectly assign RTN_UNICAST to the output route because no route is matched by oif=lo. The RST packet can not be sent immediately by tcp_v4_send_reset because it expects RTN_LOCAL. So, change ip_route_connect and ip_route_newports to update the flowi4 fields that are input parameters because we do not want unnecessary binding to oif. To make it clear what are the input parameters that can be modified during lookup and to show which fields of floiw4 are reused add a new function to update the flowi4 structure: flowi4_update_output. Thanks to Yurij M. Plotnikov for providing a bug report including a program to reproduce the problem. Thanks to Eric Dumazet for tracking the problem down to tcp_v4_send_reset and providing initial fix. Reported-by: Yurij M.

net: Add a flow_cache_flush_deferred function

2011-12-21T21:48:08Z

flow_cach_flush() might sleep but can be called from atomic context via the xfrm garbage collector. So add a flow_cache_flush_deferred() function and use this if the xfrm garbage colector is invoked from within the packet path.

ipv4: use a 64bit load/store in output path

2011-12-01T18:28:54Z

gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the future. We only need to make sure our flowi4 (saddr,daddr) fields wont break the rule. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Handle different key sizes between address families in flow cache

2011-09-16T21:47:28Z

With the conversion of struct flowi to a union of AF-specific structs, some operations on the flow cache need to account for the exact size of the key. Signed-off-by: David Ward Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
