      [IPV6]: Added GSO support for TCPv6 · f83ef8c0
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6.  This is based on a patch
      by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>.  His original description is:
      
      	This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks
      	restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from
      	"dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction.
      
      	This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used
      	to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO
      	over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the
      	TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6
      	will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO.
      
      	In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get
      	cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't
      	get TSO packets created by TCP layer.
      
      	SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet.
      	SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature.
      	UFO is supported over IPv6 also
      
      	The following table shows there is significant improvement in
      	throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo.

      [NET]: Add ECN support for TSO · b0da8537
      Michael Chan 提交于
      In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be
      turned on together in a TCP connection.  The problem is that most
      hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
      in the TSO packet.  Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
      first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.
      
      This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
      GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set.  Hardware
      that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
      features flag.
      
      All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set.  If
      the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
      will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
      segment.
      
      With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.
      
      Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
      flag is completely removed.

      [NET] Rename open_request to request_sock · 60236fdd
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Ok, this one just renames some stuff to have a better namespace and to
      dissassociate it from TCP:
      
      struct open_request  -> struct request_sock
      tcp_openreq_alloc    -> reqsk_alloc
      tcp_openreq_free     -> reqsk_free
      tcp_openreq_fastfree -> __reqsk_free
      
      With this most of the infrastructure closely resembles a struct
      sock methods subset.

      [NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructure · 2e6599cb
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to
      ease peer review.
      
      Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
      has two new members:
      
      ->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
      ->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
        a specific protocol
      
      The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a
      class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
      oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
      in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
      open_request.
      
      I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
      hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
      open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
      or_calltable.
      
      Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
      open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)
      
      Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions
      mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it
      struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g,
      etc.

      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!
