As related commit 744d5a3e9fe2 ("net: > move skb->dropcount to skb->cb[]") explains, the > sock_skb_cb_check_size() mechanism was added to ensure that there is > space for dropcount, "for protocol families using it". But TCP is not > a protocol using dropcount, so tcp_init() doesn't need to provision > space for dropcount in the skb->cb[], and thus we can revert to the > older form of the tcp_skb_cb size check. Doing so allows TCP to use 4 > more bytes of the skb->cb[] space. > > Fixes: b4772ef879a8 ("net: use common macro for assering skb->cb[] available > size in protocol families") > Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet > Signed-off-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh > Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell > Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng > --- > net/ipv4/tcp.c | 5 +++-- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/net/ipv4/tcp.c b/net/ipv4/tcp.c > index 5b0b49c..53798e1 100644 > --- a/net/ipv4/tcp.c > +++ b/net/ipv4/tcp.c > @@ -3244,11 +3244,12 @@ static void __init tcp_init_mem(void) > > void __init tcp_init(void) > { > - unsigned long limit; > int max_rshare, max_wshare, cnt; > + unsigned long limit; > + struct sk_buff *skb; > unsigned int i; > > - sock_skb_cb_check_size(sizeof(struct tcp_skb_cb)); > + BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(struct tcp_skb_cb) > sizeof(skb->cb)); > The skb local variable could be avoided via: BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(struct tcp_skb_cb) > FIELD_SIZEOF(struct sk_buff, cb)); > percpu_counter_init(&tcp_sockets_allocated, 0, GFP_KERNEL); > percpu_counter_init(&tcp_orphan_count, 0, GFP_KERNEL); > -- > 2.8.0.rc3.226.g39d4020 > >
