Janusz Krzysztofik 2d771cd86d [IPV4] LVS: Allow to send ICMP unreachable responses when real-servers are removed
this is a small patch by Janusz Krzysztofik to ip_route_output_slow()
that allows VIP-less LVS linux director to generate packets
originating >From VIP if sysctl_ip_nonlocal_bind is set.

In a nutshell, the intention is for an LVS linux director to be able
to send ICMP unreachable responses to end-users when real-servers are
removed.

Tim Schmielau cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Patrick McHardy 1b6651f1bf [XFRM]: Use output device disable_xfrm for forwarded packets
Currently the behaviour of disable_xfrm is inconsistent between
locally generated and forwarded packets. For locally generated
packets disable_xfrm disables the policy lookup if it is set on
the output device, for forwarded traffic however it looks at the
input device. This makes it impossible to disable xfrm on all
devices but a dummy device and use normal routing to direct
traffic to that device.

Always use the output device when checking disable_xfrm.

The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems
to enable respectively disable mark based routing only
obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the
additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant,
and most distributions have all these options enabled
by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove

Kirill Korotaev 8d1502de27 [IPV4]: Limit rt cache size properly.
From: Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru>

During OpenVZ stress testing we found that UDP traffic with random src
can generate too much excessive rt hash growing leading finally to OOM
and kernel panics.

It was found that for 4GB i686 system (having 1048576 total pages and
  225280 normal zone pages) kernel allocates the following route hash:
syslog: IP route cache hash table entries: 262144 (order: 8, 1048576
bytes) => ip_rt_max_size = 4194304 entries, i.e.  max rt size is
4194304 * 256b = 1Gb of RAM > normal_zone

Attached the patch which removes HASH_HIGHMEM flag from
alloc_large_system_hash() call.

Paul Mackerras bfe5d83419 [PATCH] Define __raw_get_cpu_var and use it
There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled.  For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.

This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

Ilia Sotnikov cef2685e00 [IPV4]: Aggregate route entries with different TOS values
When we get an ICMP need-to-frag message, the original TOS value in the
ICMP payload cannot be used as a key to look up the routes to update.
This is because the TOS field may have been modified by routers on the
way.  Similarly, ip_rt_redirect should also ignore the TOS as the router
that gave us the message may have modified the TOS value.

The patch achieves this objective by aggregating entries with different
TOS values (but are otherwise identical) into the same bucket.  This
makes it easy to update them at the same time when an ICMP message is
received.

In future we should use a twin-hashing scheme where teh aggregation
occurs at the entry level.  That is, the TOS goes back into the hash
for normal lookups while ICMP lookups will end up with a node that
gives us a list that contains all other route entries that differ
only by TOS.

Eric Dumazet 2f970d8357 [IPV4]: rt_cache_stat can be statically defined
Using __get_cpu_var(obj) is slightly faster than per_cpu_ptr(obj, 
raw_smp_processor_id()).

1) Smaller code and memory use
For static and small objects, DEFINE_PER_CPU(type, object) is preferred over a 
alloc_percpu() : Better and smaller code to access them, and no extra memory 
(storing the pointer, and the percpu array of pointers)

x86_64 code before patch

mov    1237577(%rip),%rax        # ffffffff803e5990 <rt_cache_stat>
not    %rax  # part of per_cpu machinery
mov    %gs:0x3c,%edx # get cpu number
movslq %edx,%rdx # extend 32 bits cpu number to 64 bits
mov    (%rax,%rdx,8),%rax # get the pointer for this cpu
incl   0x38(%rax)

x86_64 code after patch

mov    $per_cpu__rt_cache_stat,%rdx
mov    %gs:0x48,%rax # get percpu data offset
incl   0x38(%rax,%rdx,1)

2) False sharing avoidance for SMP :
For a small NR_CPUS, the array of per cpu pointers allocated in alloc_percpu() 
can be <= 32 bytes. This let slab code gives a part of a cache line. If the 
other part of this 64 bytes (or 128 bytes) cache line is used by a mostly 
written object, we can have false sharing and expensive per_cpu_ptr() operations.

Size of rt_cache_stat is 64 bytes, so this patch is not a danger of a too big 
increase of bss (in UP mode) or static per_cpu data for SMP 
(PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM is currently 32768 bytes)

Arjan van de Ven 9b5b5cff9a [NET]: Add const markers to various variables.
the patch below marks various variables const in net/; the goal is to
move them to the .rodata section so that they can't false-share
cachelines with things that get written to, as well as potentially
helping gcc a bit with optimisations.  (these were found using a gcc
patch to warn about such variables)

Mike Stroyan 18955cfcb2 [IPV4] tcp/route: Another look at hash table sizes
The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory.
It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB.  It wastes memory that
could be better used.  It also makes the netstat command slow because reading
/proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table.

  The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes.  It seems
that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long
time.  I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger
fraction of memory for systems with more memory.  While systems with
really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to
me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table.

  The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and
mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash.

tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters-
    bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket)
    numentries=thash_entries
    scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT)
    limit=0

On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K
On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K

The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction
of the total memory on systems with larger memory.  The threshold size
for a i386 system is 512MB.  For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the
threshold is 2GB.

For smaller memory systems-
On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15
On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13
For larger memory systems-
On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13
On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11

  For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case.

  The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated
size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of
total memory.

In alloc_large_system_hash-
|	numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages;
|	numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1;
|	numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
|	numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;

  At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the
nearest megabyte boundary.

|	/* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */
|	if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT)
|		numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT);
|	else
|		numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale);

On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of
bytes of total memory.
On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of
bytes of total memory.

|        log2qty = long_log2(numentries);
|
|        do {
|                size = bucketsize << log2qty;

bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded
down to a power of two.

On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory.

For smaller systems the results are
On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.

  The large page effect can be removed by just replacing
the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to
alloc_large_system_hash.  That makes them more like the other uses of
that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c

Herbert Xu e5ed639913 [IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl
The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

Julian Anastasov ce723d8e04 [IPV4]: Fix refcount damaging in net/ipv4/route.c
One such place that can damage the dst refcnts is route.c with
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED enabled, i don't see the user's
.config. In this new code i see that rt_intern_hash is called before
dst->refcnt is set to 1, dst is the 2nd arg to rt_intern_hash.

Arg 2 of rt_intern_hash must come with refcnt 1 as it is added to
table or dropped depending on error/add/update. One such example is
ip_mkroute_input where __mkroute_input return rth with refcnt 0 which
is provided to rt_intern_hash. ip_mkroute_output looks like a 2nd such
place. Appending untested patch for comments and review.  The idea is
to put previous reference as we are going to return next result/error.
