* avoid OPEN_MAX in SCM_MAX_FDRoland McGrath2007-07-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The OPEN_MAX constant is an arbitrary number with no useful relation to anything. Nothing should be using it. SCM_MAX_FD is just an arbitrary constant and it should be clear that its value is chosen in net/scm.h and not actually derived from anything else meaningful in the system.

| * [NET_SCHED]: act_api: qdisc internal reclassify supportPatrick McHardy2007-07-152-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The behaviour of NET_CLS_POLICE for TC_POLICE_RECLASSIFY was to return it to the qdisc, which could handle it internally or ignore it. With NET_CLS_ACT however, tc_classify starts over at the first classifier and never returns it to the qdisc. This makes it impossible to support qdisc-internal reclassification, which in turn makes it impossible to remove the old NET_CLS_POLICE code without breaking compatibility since we have two qdiscs (CBQ and ATM) that support this. This patch adds a tc_classify_compat function that handles reclassification the old way and changes CBQ and ATM to use it. This again is of course not fully backwards compatible with the previous NET_CLS_ACT behaviour. Unfortunately there is no way to fully maintain compatibility *and* support qdisc internal reclassification with NET_CLS_ACT, but this seems like the better choice over keeping the two incompatible options around forever.

* | [AF_UNIX]: Rewrite garbage collector, fixes race.Miklos Szeredi2007-07-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Throw out the old mark & sweep garbage collector and put in a refcounting cycle detecting one. The old one had a race with recvmsg, that resulted in false positives and hence data loss. The old algorithm operated on all unix sockets in the system, so any additional locking would have meant performance problems for all users of these. The new algorithm instead only operates on "in flight" sockets, which are very rare, and the additional locking for these doesn't negatively impact the vast majority of users. In fact it's probable, that there weren't *any* heavy senders of sockets over sockets, otherwise the above race would have been discovered long ago. The patch works OK with the app that exposed the race with the old code. The garbage collection has also been verified to work in a few simple cases.

* | [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: use hashtable for expectationsPatrick McHardy2007-07-102-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently all expectations are kept on a global list that - needs to be searched for every new conncetion - needs to be walked for evicting expectations when a master connection has reached its limit - needs to be walked on connection destruction for connections that have open expectations This is obviously not good, especially when considering helpers like H.323 that register *lots* of expectations and can set up permanent expectations, but it also allows for an easy DoS against firewalls using connection tracking helpers. Use a hashtable for expectations to avoid incurring the search overhead for every new connection. The default hash size is 1/256 of the conntrack hash table size, this can be overriden using a module parameter. This patch only introduces the hash table for expectation lookups and keeps other users to reduce the noise, the following patches will get rid of it completely.

This patch removes the never used ability to use masks for the destination part of the expectation tuple and completely removes masks from helpers since the only reasonable choice is a full match on l3num, protonum and src.u.all.

Since the default hashsize to max. entries ratio sucks (1:16), this patch doesn't reduce the amount of memory used for the hash by default, but instead uses a better ratio of 1:8, which results in the same max. entries value. One thing worth noting is early_drop. It really should use LRU, so it now has to iterate over the entire chain to find the last unconfirmed entry. Since chains shouldn't be very long and the entire operation is very rare this shouldn't be a problem. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
