* [PATCH] shrink dentry structEric Dumazet2006-01-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple of memory cache lines. Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning (128 + 8 = 136 bytes) This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u), where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their memory needs. At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing. Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints) As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ip_route_me_harder doesn't use the port numbers of the xfrm lookup and uses ip_route_input for non-local addresses which doesn't do a xfrm lookup, ip6_route_me_harder doesn't do a xfrm lookup at all. Use xfrm_decode_session and do the lookup manually, make sure both only do the lookup if the packet hasn't been transformed already. Makeing sure the lookup only happens once needs a new field in the IP6CB, which exceeds the size of skb->cb. The size of skb->cb is increased to 48b.

* [XFRM]: Netfilter IPsec output hooksPatrick McHardy2006-01-072-36/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Call netfilter hooks before IPsec transforms. Packets visit the FORWARD/LOCAL_OUT and POST_ROUTING hook before the first encapsulation and the LOCAL_OUT and POST_ROUTING hook before each following tunnel mode transform. Patch from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>: Move the loop from dst_output into xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output since they're the only ones who need to it. xfrm{4,6}_output_one() processes the first SA all subsequent transport mode SAs and is called in a loop that calls the netfilter hooks between each two calls.

| * [X25]: Fix for broken x25 module.Shaun Pereira2006-01-061-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a user-space server application calls bind on a socket, then in kernel space this bound socket is considered 'x25-linked' and the SOCK_ZAPPED flag is unset.(As in x25_bind()/af_x25.c). Now when a user-space client application attempts to connect to the server on the listening socket, if the kernel accepts this in-coming call, then it returns a new socket to userland and attempts to reply to the caller. The reply/x25_sendmsg() will fail, because the new socket created on call-accept has its SOCK_ZAPPED flag set by x25_make_new(). (sock_init_data() called by x25_alloc_socket() called by x25_make_new() sets the flag to SOCK_ZAPPED)). Fix: Using the sock_copy_flag() routine available in sock.h fixes this. Tested on 32 and 64 bit kernels with x25 over tcp. Signed-off-by: Shaun Pereira <pereira.shaun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent. Some transport implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding, sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however. For transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache. Test-plan: Millions of fsx operations.

* | [PATCH] knfsd: fix hash function for IP addresses on 64bit little-endian ↵NeilBrown2006-01-061-1/+13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | machines. The hash.h hash_long function, when used on a 64 bit machine, ignores many of the middle-order bits. (The prime chosen it too bit-sparse). IP addresses for clients of an NFS server are very likely to differ only in the low-order bits. As addresses are stored in network-byte-order, these bits become middle-order bits in a little-endian 64bit 'long', and so do not contribute to the hash. Thus you can have the situation where all clients appear on one hash chain. So, until hash_long is fixed (or maybe forever), us a hash function that works well on IP addresses - xor the bytes together. Thanks to "Iozone" <capps@iozone.org> for identifying this problem.
