cda31e10ba ipv6: clean up rt6_clean_expires
Functionally, this change is a NOP.

Semantically, rt6_clean_expires() wants to do rt->dst.from = NULL instead of
rt->dst.expires = 0. It is clearing the RTF_EXPIRES flag, so the union is going
to be treated as a pointer (dst.from) not a long (dst.expires).

edfb5d4687 ipv6: fix rt6_update_expires
Commit 1716a961 (ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache) broke PMTU
discovery. rt6_update_expires() calls dst_set_expires(), which only updates
dst->expires if it has not been set previously (expires == 0) or if the new
expires is earlier than the current dst->expires.

rt6_update_expires() needs to zero rt->dst.expires, otherwise it will contain
ivalid data left over from rt->dst.from and will confuse dst_set_expires().

1716a96101 ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache
If the ipv6 dst cache which copy from the dst generated by ICMPV6 RA packet.
this dst cache will not check expire because it has no RTF_EXPIRES flag.
So this dst cache will always be used until the dst gc run.

Change the struct dst_entry,add a union contains new pointer from and expires.
When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use.
we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from.
The dst.from is only used in IPV6.

rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired.

ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

ip6_dst_destroy release the ort.

Add some functions to operate the RTF_EXPIRES flag and expires(from) together.
and change the code to use these new adding functions.

Changes from v5:
modify ip6_route_add and ndisc_router_discovery to use new adding functions.

Only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

32b293a53d IPv6: Avoid taking write lock for /proc/net/ipv6_route
During some debugging I needed to look into how /proc/net/ipv6_route
operated and in my digging I found its calling fib6_clean_all() which uses
"write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock)" before doing the walk of the table. I
found this on 2.6.32, but reading the code I believe the same basic idea
exists currently. Looking at the rtnetlink code they are only calling
"read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);" via fib6_dump_table(). While I realize
reading from proc isn't the recommended way of fetching the ipv6 route
table; taking a write lock seems unnecessary and would probably cause
network performance issues.

To verify this I loaded up the ipv6 route table and then ran iperf in 3
cases:
  * doing nothing
  * reading ipv6 route table via proc
    (while :; do cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /dev/null; done)
  * reading ipv6 route table via rtnetlink
    (while :; do ip -6 route show table all > /dev/null; done)

* Load the ipv6 route table up with:
  * for ((i = 0;i < 4000;i++)); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done

* iperf commands:
  * client: iperf -i 1 -V -c <ipv6 addr>
  * server: iperf -V -s

* iperf results - 3 runs each (in Mbits/sec)
  * nothing: client: 927,927,927 server: 927,927,927
  * proc: client: 179,97,96,113 server: 142,112,133
  * iproute: client: 928,927,928 server: 927,927,927

lock_stat shows taking the write lock is causing the slowdown. Using this
info I decided to write a version of fib6_clean_all() which replaces
write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock) with read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock). With
this new function I see the same results as with my rtnetlink iperf test.

6431cbc25f inet: Create a mechanism for upward inetpeer propagation into routes.
If we didn't have a routing cache, we would not be able to properly
propagate certain kinds of dynamic path attributes, for example
PMTU information and redirects.

The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would
be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of
sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc.

Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer
entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics
and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry.

If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this
information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that
cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry.

The facilities implemented here handle this problem.

First we create a generation ID.  When we create a cached route of any
kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment.  Any
time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path
information, we bump that generation ID.

The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event
is propagated.  If the global generation ID does not equal the one
stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached
to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found.  Now
that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the
route's generation ID too.

This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in
the inetpeer cache.  There is absolutely no need to consult cached
route information in order to maintain this information.

At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the
later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers.

Because elements at the end of dst_entry{} are frequently

On the other hand, fib6_table, rt6i_node or rt6i_gateway are
rarely used, so it is okay to stay in the same cache line.

a33bc5c151 xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh
Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init

Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values
(set to 1024).  Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized
dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical.
This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on
the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that
we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as
the routing table can.

For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash
buckets in the route cache.  Given that xfrm4 starts garbage
collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 *
gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size.

For ipv6, its a bit trickier.  there is no maximum route cache size,
but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024.  It seems
sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half
the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4
code does).

5b7c931dff [NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - add net to gc timer parameter
The fib tables are now relative to the network namespace. When the
garbage collector timer expires, we must have a network namespace
parameter in order to retrieve the tables. For now this is the
init_net, but we should be able to have a timer per namespace and use
the timer callback parameter to pass the network namespace from the
expired timer.

The timer callback, fib6_run_gc, is actually used to be called
synchronously by some functions and asynchronously when the timer
expires.

When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter
is always zero. So, I changed fib6_run_gc to not be a timer callback
but a function called by the timer callback and I added a timer
callback where its work is just to retrieve from the data arg of the
timer the network namespace and call fib6_run_gc with zero expiring
time and the network namespace parameters. That makes the code cleaner
for the fib6_run_gc callers.

f11e6659ce [IPV6]: Fix routing round-robin locking.
As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the
matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we
do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure
to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes
reachable faster.

Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked
list of routes at each leaf.  The round robin code executes during
lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader.  A small local
spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all
for two reasons:

1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with
   read lock held):

	walk routes finding head and tail

	spin_lock();
	rotate list using head and tail
	spin_unlock();

   While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can
   end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed
   to corrupt the list when it gets the lock.  This ends up causing
   the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting.

2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as
   a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they
   expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the
   lock in that way.

So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using
a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking
semantics.

Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer.  This way we
don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin
pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need
to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer
itself.  We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when
the entry it is pointing to is removed.

The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this
was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in.

86872cb579 [IPv6] route: FIB6 configuration using struct fib6_config
Replaces the struct in6_rtmsg based interface orignating from
the ioctl interface with a struct fib6_config based on. Allows
changing the interface without breaking the ioctl interface
and avoids passing on tons of parameters.

The recently introduced struct nl_info is used to pass on
netlink authorship information for notifications.

c71099acce [IPV6]: Multiple Routing Tables
Adds the framework to support multiple IPv6 routing tables.
Currently all automatically generated routes are put into the
same table. This could be changed at a later point after
considering the produced locking overhead.

0d51aa80a9 [IPV6]: V6 route events reported with wrong netlink PID and seq number
Essentially netlink at the moment always reports a pid and sequence of 0
always for v6 route activities. 
To understand the repurcassions of this look at:
http://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2005-June/003507.html

While fixing this, i took the liberty to resolve the outstanding issue
of IPV6 routes inserted via ioctls to have the correct pids as well.

This patch tries to behave as close as possible to the v4 routes i.e
maintains whatever PID the socket issuing the command owns as opposed to
the process. That made the patch a little bulky.

I have tested against both netlink derived utility to add/del routes as
well as ioctl derived one. The Quagga folks have tested against quagga.
This fixes the problem and so far hasnt been detected to introduce any
new issues.

Linus Torvalds
1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
