Either I don't understand the sentence or this is not feasible: the
thing is there is nothing in the packet to demultiplex like nh for
RH2/HAO. Here, we only lookup for a remapping state when there is a
mismatch in the source/destination addresses expected for the SA.

That's the reason IRO remapping states only apply to IPsec traffic.

I don't ignore it. Before the change, for input IPsec traffic, the SA
lookup is done as follows:

  - SA lookup based mostly on SPI
  - Destination address check (done simultaneously during lookup)
    fatal if mismatch

After the change, there are three steps for IPv6:

  - SA lookup based on SPI
  - Destination Address check
      mismatch => lookup for destination remapping state 
                  call for associated input handler
                  fatal if mismatch
  - Source Address check
      mismatch => lookup for source remapping state
                  call for associated input handler

Explanation makes it looks more complex than it is:

 - IPv4 IPsec is basically untouched
 - IPv6 IPsec is basically untouched when CONFIG_XFRM_SUB_POLICY is not
   enabled,  
 - when CONFIG_XFRM_SUB_POLICY is enabled additional work is done only
   for IPv6 upon address mismatch.

The idea is to allow the optimization for unmodified IPsec SA
(between stable addresses, i.e. HoA). Updating IRO src/dst remapping
states allow changing the src/dst on-wire address for unmodifed SA w/o
the need to explicitly add RH2 and/or HAO. Additionally, because source
and destination remapping are not linked, your proposal would not solve
the source remapping case, would it? 

Thanks for your feedback and patience, Herbert!

The change *does not* make the lookup in the hash table rely only on the
spi, i.e. __xfrm_state_lookup() is still passed the address. It only
removes the destination address from the computation of the hash. This
allows passing NULL to __xfrm_state_lookup() specifically for input path
and make the lookup only based on the SPI. The destination address check
is done later (possibly after IRO remapping).

Except if I really missed something, this has no impact on outbound SA
(other hashtables are used in that case). 

> Incidentally, it appears that our hash could do with some

After the change, xfrm_spi_hash() would contain:

 	unsigned int h = (__force u32)spi ^ proto;
        return  ((h ^ (h >> 10) ^ (h >> 20)) & hmask)

which seems to spread the bits h correctly into hmask bits (I mean for
the effort ;-) ). Are you thinking about something like changing the
shifts based on the length of the mask?

This patch makes sense to me.  I think combining the dropped stats
with those from the driver makes sense, at least at the moment, since
both the counters from both sources are from a combination of
different causes anyways.

bonding: Bond creation failed.

It happens because a user space writer to bond_master can try to register and
already existing bond interface name.  Fix it by teaching bond_create to check
for the existance of devices with that name first in cases where a non-NULL name
parameter has been passed in

They show up in order, but they are not necessarily linear.  You can 
have other packets show up in the middle of the flow and RSC just jumps 
over them.  The determination for the jump is handled via nextp in 
ixgbe_clean_rx_irq.

I'll look into this and see if I can come up with a counter-proposal 
patch based on the suggestions I was making.  The key item though is 
that the tail would need some means of referencing head which I think 
can probably be accomplished via skb->next.

Thanks,

This makes nl80211 use the new genetlink
pre_doit/post_doit hooks for locking and
checking the interface/wiphy index.

This significantly reduces the code size
and the likelihood of locking errors.

And by that, I mean locking errors.

* [patch] eicon: make buffer larger
From: Dan Carpenter @ 2010-10-04 19:24 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Armin Schindler; +Cc: Karsten Keil, netdev, linux-kernel, kernel-janitors

In diva_mnt_add_xdi_adapter() we do this:
  strcpy (clients[id].drvName,     tmp);
  strcpy (clients[id].Dbg.drvName, tmp);

The "clients[id].drvName" is a 128 character buffer and
"clients[id].Dbg.drvName" was originally a 16 character buffer but I've
changed it to 128 as well.  We don't actually use 128 characters but we
do use more than 16.

I've also changed the size of "tmp" to 128 characters instead of 256.

* [PATCH 1/4] genetlink: introduce pre_doit/post_doit hooks
From: Johannes Berg @ 2010-10-04 19:14 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: John Linville; +Cc: netdev, linux-wireless
In-Reply-To: <20101004191402.183055479@sipsolutions.net>

[-- Attachment #1: 012-genl-more-boilerplate.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3951 bytes --]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Each family may have some amount of boilerplate
locking code that applies to most, or even all,
commands.

This allows a family to handle such things in
a more generic way, by allowing it to
 a) include private flags in each operation
 b) specify a pre_doit hook that is called,
    before an operation's doit() callback and
    may return an error directly,
 c) specify a post_doit hook that can undo
    locking or similar things done by pre_doit,
    and finally
 d) include two private pointers in each info
    struct passed between all these operations
    including doit(). (It's two because I'll
    need two in nl80211 -- can be extended.)

* [PATCH 0/4] nl80211 cleanups
From: Johannes Berg @ 2010-10-04 19:14 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: John Linville; +Cc: netdev, linux-wireless

This patchset adds some new hooks to generic
netlink and then goes on to use them to really
optimise a lot of locking code in nl80211.

It not only shrinks the code in nl80211 by     
almost 5K .text, but also greatly reduces the
likelihood of future errors.

I'd prefer to merge this through John's wireless
tree, so it'd be nice to get ACKs.

* [PATCH 3/4] nl80211: use generic check for netif_running

[-- Attachment #1: 014-nl80211-generic-running.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 11607 bytes --]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

Use a new flag that requires the netdev to be
UP and use it to check instead of coding the
check into all functions that require it.

* [PATCH 2/4] nl80211: use the new genetlink pre/post_doit hooks
From: Johannes Berg @ 2010-10-04 19:14 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: John Linville
  Cc: netdev-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA,
	linux-wireless-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA
In-Reply-To: <20101004191402.183055479@sipsolutions.net>

[-- Attachment #1: 013-nl80211-use-pre-post.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 78963 bytes --]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

This makes nl80211 use the new genetlink
pre_doit/post_doit hooks for locking and
checking the interface/wiphy index.

This is only partial and serves to demonstrate
the code improvement.

Almost.

create should be:
        * verify namespace-name is not already in use
        * mkdir -p /var/run/netns/<namespace-name>
	* unshare the netns
        * mount --bind /proc/self/ns/net /var/run/netns/<namespace-name>

Are you talking about an replacing something that used to use the linux
vrf patches that are floating around?

* Linux Kernel Development - A Practical Approach
From: Linux "Kernel" Explorer @ 2010-10-04 18:50 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: kernelnewbies, linux-kernel, netdev, linux-fsdevel

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 790 bytes --]

Hello Everyone,

I am reading 'Linux Kernel Development' by Robert Love these days.

This book takes you on a theoretical journey of the linux kernel
world.Though the book is good but I do have my share of concerns.

   - I Understand theory is important but how to gain some practical
   experience.How to learn to apply the rules you have learnt in the book. I
   have got no clue.
   - Trying to dive into the kernel code and expecting things to make sense
   would be a little to premature.I will have to jump into the code ...but I
   guess its too early.
   - Should I be trying my hand at System programming first / Kernel user
   side to get a hand of things.Would it be a good idea ?

Would really appreciate your suggestion & Advice.

Thanks in advance,

Linux "Kernel" Explorer.

* [PATCH] AF_UNIX: Implement SO_TIMESTAMP and SO_TIMETAMPNS on Unix sockets

In-Reply-To: <20101004194734.6a1caf3e@chocolatine.cbg.collabora.co.uk>

Userspace applications can already request to receive timestamps with:
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TIMESTAMP, ...)

Although setsockopt() returns zero (success), timestamps are not added to the
ancillary data. This patch fixes that on SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET Unix
sockets.

You're right, I just tested it and it was the time of reception. Thanks

Thanks for looking at this Alexander.

I must have mis-understood what the current code is doing.

It looked like RSC packets always show up in-order in the RX ring.

And that they are scanned for by simply combining any sequence of
non-EOP packets up to and including the final EOP one into a frag
list.

Are the RSC packets are identified via something else entirely?
