I noticed recently that, in skb_checksum(), "offset" and "start" are
essentially the same thing and have the same value throughout the
function, despite being computed differently. Using a single variable
allows some cleanups and makes the skb_checksum() function smaller,
more readable, and presumably marginally faster.
We appear to have many other "sk_buff walker" functions built on the
exact same model, so the cleanup applies to them, too. Here is a list
of the functions I found to be affected:
net/appletalk/ddp.c:atalk_sum_skb()
net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_datagram_iovec()
net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_and_csum_datagram()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_bits()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_store_bits()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_checksum()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_and_csum_bit()

net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_icv_walk()
net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_to_sgvec()
OTOH, I admit I'm a bit surprised, the cleanup is rather obvious so I'm
really wondering if I am missing something. Can anyone please comment
on this?

On a system with a lot of SAs, counting SAD entries chews useful
CPU time since you need to dump the whole SAD to user space;
i.e something like ip xfrm state ls | grep -i src | wc -l
I have seen taking literally minutes on a 40K SAs when the system
is swapping.
With this patch, some of the SAD info (that was already being tracked)
is exposed to user space. i.e you do:
ip xfrm state count
And you get the count; you can also pass -s to the command line and
get the hash info.

This patch makes two enhancements to msg_set_bits():
1) It now ignores any bits of the new field value that are not

exceeded the size of the mask the extra bits could corrupt
other fields in the message header word being updated.)
2) The code has been optimized to minimize the number of run-time
endianness conversion operations by leveraging the fact that the
mask (and, in some cases, the value as well) is constant and the
necessary conversion can be performed by the compiler.

This fixes an error in the calculation of t_ipi when X converges towards
very low sending rates (between 1 and 64 bytes per second).
Although this case may not sound likely, it can be reproduced by connecting,
hitting enter (1 byte sent) and waiting for some time, during which the
nofeedback timer halves the sending rate until finally it reaches the region
1..64 bytes/sec. Computing X is handled correctly (tested separately); but by
dividing X _before_ entering the calculation of t_ipi, X becomes zero as
a result. This in turn triggers a BUG condition caught in scaled_div().
Fixed by replacing with equivalent statement and explicit typecast for good
measure.

The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start
of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload. Unfortunately,
the same pointer is also used during receive side processing.
This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received
packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer
would be overwritten.
This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start
offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose
of checksums. This offset is calculated from skb->head so that
it does not have to change when skb->data changes.
No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within
a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start.
For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with
partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb
transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure
then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if

1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
->get_stats is set.
This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.

As IPPROTO_TCP is 6, it makes sense to make sure inet_protos[] array
is properly cache line aligned to avoid false sharing on SMP.
c0680540 b peer_total
c0680544 b inet_peer_unused_head
c0680560 B inet_protos
On i386 this example, we can see that inet_protos[IPPROTO_TCP] shares
a potentially hot (and modified) cache line.

tcp_memory_pressure and tcp_socket currently share a cache line with tcp_memory_allocated, tcp_sockets_allocated.
(Very hot cache line)
It makes sense to declare these variables as __read_mostly, to avoid false sharing on SMP.

ffffffff8081d9c4 B tcp_memory_allocated
ffffffff8081d9c8 B tcp_sockets_allocated

The results of FIB rules lookups are cached in the routing cache
except for IPv6 as no such cache exists. So far, it was the
responsibility of the user to flush the cache after modifying any
rules. This lead to many false bug reports due to misunderstanding
of this concept.
This patch automatically flushes the route cache after inserting
or deleting a rule.
Thanks to Muli Ben-Yehuda <muli@il.ibm.com> for catching a bug
in the previous patch.

There is a very tiny probability that build_ehash_secret() is called
at the same time by different CPUS.
Also, using __read_mostly is a must for inet_ehash_secret

Right now Xen has a horrible hack that lets it forward packets with
partial checksums. One of the reasons that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE were added is so that we can get rid of this hack
(where it creates two extra bits in the skbuff to essentially mirror
ip_summed without being destroyed by the forwarding code).
I had forgotten that I've already gone through all the deivce drivers
last time around to make sure that they're looking at ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL rather than ip_summed != 0 on transmit. In any case,
I've now done that again so it should definitely be safe.
Unfortunately nobody has yet added any code to update CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
values on forward so we I'm setting that to CHECKSUM_NONE. This should
be safe to remove for bridging but I'd like to check that code path
first.
So here is the patch that lets us get rid of the hack by preserving
ip_summed (mostly) on forwarded packets.

this is a small patch by Janusz Krzysztofik to ip_route_output_slow()
that allows VIP-less LVS linux director to generate packets
originating >From VIP if sysctl_ip_nonlocal_bind is set.
In a nutshell, the intention is for an LVS linux director to be able
to send ICMP unreachable responses to end-users when real-servers are
removed.

The use of nop rules simplifies the usage of goto rules
and adds more flexibility as they allow targets to remain
while the actual content of the branches can change easly.
