      net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation. · 81adee47
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
      network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
      to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
      with a well known name.
      
      We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
      for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
      that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
      logic into rtnl_link_get_net.
      
      In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
      to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
      device source network namespace.

      Storing the mask (size - 1) instead of the size allows fast path to be
      a bit faster.

      net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall · a2e27255
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
      net stack entry/exit operations.
      
      Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
      optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.
      
      This takes into account comments made by:
      
      . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
        sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.
      
      . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
        works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.
      
        If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
        will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
        one) it has received so far.
      
      . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
        datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
        the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
        in the next call.
      
      This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
      where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
      every underlying recvmsg call.

      net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg · 3b885787
      Neil Horman 提交于
      Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows
      
      Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
      on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames.  This value was
      exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg.  AFter I completed that work it was
      requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
      could make use of this option.  As such I've created this patch, It creates a
      new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
      SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
      overflowed between any two given frames.  It also augments the AF_PACKET
      protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
      sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count).  Tested
      successfully by me.
      
      Notes:
      
      1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
      is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
      Deltas must be computed in user space.
      
      2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
      also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
      agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
      protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
      and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
      non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me.  This also saves us having
      to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.
      
      3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
      97775007 (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

      mac80211: document ieee80211_rx() context requirement · d20ef63d
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      ieee80211_rx() must be called with softirqs disabled
      since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx()
      and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not
      be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same
      time.
      
      It may be possible to remove this requirement after a
      careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking
      improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around
      netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet
      processing to process context in mac80211, instead of
      to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.
