2005-09-27[NET]: Slightly optimize ethernet address comparison.David S. Miller
We know the thing is at least 2-byte aligned, so take advantage of that instead of invoking memcmp() which results in truly horrifically inefficient code because it can't assume anything about alignment. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-09-27[NET]: Fix module reference counts for loadable protocol modulesFrank Filz
I have been experimenting with loadable protocol modules, and ran into several issues with module reference counting. The first issue was that __module_get failed at the BUG_ON check at the top of the routine (checking that my module reference count was not zero) when I created the first socket. When sk_alloc() is called, my module reference count was still 0. When I looked at why sctp didn't have this problem, I discovered that sctp creates a control socket during module init (when the module ref count is not 0), which keeps the reference count non-zero. This section has been updated to address the point Stephen raised about checking the return value of try_module_get(). The next problem arose when my socket init routine returned an error. This resulted in my module reference count being decremented below 0. My socket ops->release routine was also being called. The issue here is that sock_release() calls the ops->release routine and decrements the ref count if sock->ops is not NULL. Since the socket probably didn't get correctly initialized, this should not be done, so we will set sock->ops to NULL because we will not call try_module_get(). While searching for another bug, I also noticed that sys_accept() has a possibility of doing a module_put() when it did not do an __module_get so I re-ordered the call to security_socket_accept().

2005-09-26[NETFILTER]: Fix invalid module autoloading by splitting iptable_natHarald Welte
When you've enabled conntrack and NAT as a module (standard case in all distributions), and you've also enabled the new conntrack netlink interface, loading ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will auto-load iptable_nat.ko. This causes a huge performance penalty, since for every packet you iterate the nat code, even if you don't want it. This patch splits iptable_nat.ko into the NAT core (ip_nat.ko) and the iptables frontend (iptable_nat.ko). Threfore, ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will only pull ip_nat.ko, but not the frontend. ip_nat.ko will "only" allocate some resources, but not affect runtime performance. This separation is also a nice step in anticipation of new packet filters (nf-hipac, ipset, pkttables) being able to use the NAT core.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC,NFS: new rpc_pipefs patchChristoph Hellwig
Currently rpc_mkdir/rpc_rmdir and rpc_mkpipe/mk_unlink have an API that's a little unfortunate. They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and thus need to perform a full lookup. If you look at debugfs or usbfs they always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the above functions. And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers. Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment. Could someone give it a spin? It's the last bit needed before we can rework the lookup_hash API Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: parametrize various transport connect timeoutsChuck Lever
Each transport implementation can now set unique bind, connect, reestablishment, and idle timeout values. These are variables, allowing the values to be modified dynamically. This permits exponential backoff of any of these values, for instance. As an example, we implement exponential backoff for the connection reestablishment timeout.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: make sure to get the same local port number when reconnectingChuck Lever
Implement a best practice: if the remote end drops our connection, try to reconnect using the same port number. This is important because the NFS server's Duplicate Reply Cache often hashes on the source port number. If the client reuses the port number when it reconnects, the server's DRC will be more effective. Based on suggestions by Mike Eisler, Olaf Kirch, and Alexey Kuznetsky.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: allow RPC client's port range to be adjustableChuck Lever
Select an RPC client source port between 650 and 1023 instead of between 1 and 800. The old range conflicts with a number of network services. Provide sysctls to allow admins to select a different port range. Note that this doesn't affect user-level RPC library behavior, which still uses 1 to 800.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: add a release_rqst callout to the RPC transport switchChuck Lever
The final place where congestion control state is adjusted is in xprt_release, where each request is finally released.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: separate xprt_timer implementationsChuck Lever

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transportsChuck Lever
The next method we abstract is the one that releases a transport, allowing another task to have access to the transport. Again, one generic version of this is provided for transports that don't need the RPC client to perform congestion control, and one version is for transports that can use the original Van Jacobson implementation in xprt.c.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transportsChuck Lever
The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether the transport itself provides it. The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling together. This method provides proper request serialization and the opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the transport is congested. The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control itself. Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control is much better than doing it in the RPC client. Thus TCP, and probably every future transport implementation, will use the default method, xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind of congestion control. UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation. Test-plan: Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss. Look for significant regression in performance or client stability. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: add API to set transport-specific timeoutsChuck Lever
Prepare the way to remove the "xprt->nocong" variable by adding a callout to the RPC client transport switch API to handle setting RPC retransmit timeouts. Add a pair of generic helper functions that provide the ability to set a simple fixed timeout, or to set a timeout based on the state of a round- trip estimator.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: get rid of xprt->streamChuck Lever

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: separate TCP and UDP socket write pathsChuck Lever
Split the RPC client's main socket write path into a TCP version and a UDP version to eliminate another dependency on the "xprt->stream" variable. Compiler optimization removes unneeded code from xs_sendpages, as this function is now called with some constant arguments. We can now cleanly perform transport protocol-specific return code testing and error recovery in each path. Test-plan: Millions of fsx operations.
