2011-12-27tipc: Minor optimization of broadcast link transmit queue statisticAllan Stephens
The two broadcast link statistics fields that are used to derive the average length of that link's transmit queue are now updated only after a successful attempt to send a broadcast message, since there is no need to update these values when an unsuccessful send attempt leaves the queue unchanged.

2011-12-27tipc: Handle broadcast attempt when no neighboring nodes existAllan Stephens
Adds a check to detect when an attempt is made to send a message via the broadcast link and no neighboring nodes are currently available to receive it. Rather than wasting effort passing the message to the broadcast link and broadcast bearer, who will only throw it away, TIPC now frees the message immediately and reports success (i.e. the message has been delivered to all available destinations).

2011-12-27tipc: Ensure broadcast link spinlock is held when updating node mapAllan Stephens
Fixes oversight that allowed broadcast link node map to be updated without first taking the broadcast link spinlock that protects the map. As part of this fix the node map has been incorporated into the broadcast link structure to make the need for such protection more evident.

2011-12-27tipc: Eliminate dynamic allocation of broadcast link data structuresAllan Stephens
Creates global variables to hold the broadcast link's pseudo-bearer and pseudo-link structures, rather than allocating them dynamically. There is only a single instance of each structure, and changing over to static allocation allows elimination of code to handle the cases where dynamic allocation was unsuccessful. The memset in the teardown code may look like they aren't used, but the same teardown code is run when there is a non-fatal error at init-time, so that stale data isn't present when the user fixes the cause of the soft error.

2011-12-27tipc: Eliminate useless check when network address is assignedAllan Stephens
Gets rid of an unnecessary check in the routine that updates the port id of a node's name publications when the node is assigned a network address, since the routine is only invoked if the new address is different from the existing one.

2011-12-27tipc: Minor correction to TIPC module unloadingAllan Stephens
Modifies TIPC's module unloading logic to switch itself into "single node" mode before starting to terminate networking support. This helps to ensure that no operations that require TIPC to be in "networking" mode can initiate once unloading starts.

2011-12-27tipc: Eliminate useless memset operations in Ethernet media supportAllan Stephens
Gets rid of two pointless operations that zero out the array used to record information about TIPC's Ethernet bearers. There is no need to initialize the array on start up since it is a global variable that is already zero'd out, and there is no need to zero it out on exit because the array is never referenced again.

2011-12-27tipc: Do timely cleanup of disabled Ethernet bearer resourcesAllan Stephens
Modifies Ethernet bearer disable logic to break the association between the bearer and its device driver at the time the bearer is disabled, rather than when the TIPC module is unloaded. This allows the array entry used by the disabled bearer to be re-used if the same bearer (or a different one) is subsequently enabled.

2011-12-27tipc: Minor optimization to deactivation of Ethernet media suppotAllan Stephens
Change TIPC's shutdown code to deactivate generic networking support before terminating Ethernet media support. The deactivation of generic networking support causes all existing bearers to be destroyed, meaning the Ethernet media termination routine no longer has to bother marking them as unavailable.

2011-12-27tipc: Revise comment justifying release of configuration spinlockAllan Stephens

2011-12-27tipc: Allow run-time alteration of default link settingsAllan Stephens
Permits run-time alteration of default link settings on a per-media and per-bearer basis, in addition to the existing per-link basis. The following syntax can now be used: tipc-config -lt=<link-name|bearer-name|media-name>/<tolerance> tipc-config -lp=<link-name|bearer-name|media-name>/<priority> tipc-config -lw=<link-name|bearer-name|media-name>/<window> Note that changes to the default settings for a given media type has no effect on the default settings used by existing bearers. Similarly, changes to default bearer settings has no effect on existing link endpoints that utilize that interface.

2011-12-27tipc: Ignore neighbor discovery messages containing invalid addressAllan Stephens
Adds a check to ensure that TIPC ignores an incoming neighbor discovery message that specifies an invalid media address as its source. The check ensures that the source address is a valid, non-broadcast address that could legally be used by a neighboring link endpoint.

2011-12-27tipc: Hide media-specific addressing details from generic bearer codeAllan Stephens
Reworks TIPC's media address data structure and associated processing routines to transfer all media-specific details of address conversion to the associated TIPC media adaptation code. TIPC's generic bearer code now only needs to know which media type an address is associated with and whether or not it is a broadcast address, and totally ignores the "value" field that contains the actual media-specific addressing info. These changes eliminate the need for a number of endianness conversion operations and will make it easier for TIPC to support new media types in the future.

2011-12-27tipc: Add new address conversion routines for Ethernet mediaAllan Stephens
Enhances TIPC's Ethernet media support to provide 3 new address conversion routines, which allow TIPC to interpret an address that is in string form and to convert an address to and from the 20 byte format used in TIPC's neighbor discovery messages. These routines are pre-requisites to a follow on commit that hides all media-specific addressing details from TIPC's generic bearer code.

2011-12-27tipc: Improve handling of media address printing errorsAllan Stephens
Enhances conversion of a media address to printable form so that an unconvertable address will be displayed as a string of hex digits, rather than not being displayed at all. (Also removes a pointless check for the existence of the media-specific address conversion routine, since the routine is not optional.)

2011-12-27tipc: Streamline media registration error checkingAllan Stephens
Simplifies error handling performed during media registration, since TIPC no longer supports the dynamic addition of new media types that are potentially error-prone. These simplifications include the following: 1) No longer check for premature registration of a new media type. 2) No longer check for negative link priority values (which was pointless since such values are unsigned, and could cause a compiler warning). 3) No longer generate a warning describing the exact cause of any registration failure (just warns that overall registration failed).

2011-12-27tipc: Eliminate duplication of media structuresAllan Stephens

2011-12-27tipc: Optimize detection of duplicate media registrationAllan Stephens

2011-12-25netfilter: xtables: add nfacct match to support extended accountingPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the match that allows to perform extended accounting. It requires the new nfnetlink_acct infrastructure. # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic # iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2011-12-25netfilter: add extended accounting infrastructure over nfnetlinkPablo Neira Ayuso
We currently have two ways to account traffic in netfilter: - iptables chain and rule counters: # iptables -L -n -v Chain INPUT (policy DROP 3 packets, 867 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 8 1104 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 - use flow-based accounting provided by ctnetlink: # conntrack -L tcp 6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.1.130 dst=212.106.219.168 sport=58152 dport=80 packets=47 bytes=7654 src=212.106.219.168 dst=192.168.1.130 sport=80 dport=58152 packets=49 bytes=66340 [ASSURED] mark=0 use=1 While trying to display real-time accounting statistics, we require to pool the kernel periodically to obtain this information. This is OK if the number of flows is relatively low. However, in case that the number of flows is huge, we can spend a considerable amount of cycles to iterate over the list of flows that have been obtained. Moreover, if we want to obtain the sum of the flow accounting results that match some criteria, we have to iterate over the whole list of existing flows, look for matchings and update the counters. This patch adds the extended accounting infrastructure for nfnetlink which aims to allow displaying real-time traffic accounting without the need of complicated and resource-consuming implementation in user-space. Basically, this new infrastructure allows you to create accounting objects. One accounting object is composed of packet and byte counters. In order to manipulate create accounting objects, you require the new libnetfilter_acct library. It contains several examples of use: libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-add http-traffic libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-get http-traffic = { pkts = 000000000000, bytes = 000000000000 }; Then, you can use one of this accounting objects in several iptables rules using the new nfacct match (which comes in a follow-up patch): # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic # iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic The idea is simple: if one packet matches the rule, the nfacct match updates the counters.

2011-12-23netfilter: xt_connbytes: handle negation correctlyFlorian Westphal
"! --connbytes 23:42" should match if the packet/byte count is not in range. As there is no explict "invert match" toggle in the match structure, userspace swaps the from and to arguments (i.e., as if "--connbytes 42:23" were given). However, "what <= 23 && what >= 42" will always be false. Change things so we use "||" in case "from" is larger than "to". This change may look like it breaks backwards compatibility when "to" is 0. However, older iptables binaries will refuse "connbytes 42:0", and current releases treat it to mean "! --connbytes 0:42", so we should be fine.
