Christoph Lameter e18b890bb0 [PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t
Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

Alan Stern a120586873 [PATCH] Allow NULL pointers in percpu_free
The patch (as824b) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one would
expect for a deallocation routine.  (Note that free_percpu is #defined as
percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.) A few callers are updated to remove
now-unneeded tests for NULL.  A few other callers already seem to assume
that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay!

The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().

Dmitry Mishin 74c9c0c17d [NETFILTER]: Fix {ip,ip6,arp}_tables hook validation
Commit 590bdf7fd2 introduced a regression
in match/target hook validation. mark_source_chains builds a bitmask
for each rule representing the hooks it can be reached from, which is
then used by the matches and targets to make sure they are only called
from valid hooks. The patch moved the match/target specific validation
before the mark_source_chains call, at which point the mask is always zero.

This patch returns back to the old order and moves the standard checks
to mark_source_chains. This allows to get rid of a special case for
standard targets as a nice side-effect.

Add new NFLOG target to allow use of nfnetlink_log for both IPv4 and IPv6.
Currently we have two (unsupported by userspace) hacks in the LOG and ULOG
targets to optionally call to the nflog API. They lack a few features,
namely the IPv4 and IPv6 LOG targets can not specify a number of arguments

Gerrit Renker 4c0a6cb0db [UDP(-Lite)]: consolidate v4 and v6 get|setsockopt code
This patch consolidates set/getsockopt code between UDP(-Lite) v4 and 6. The
justification is that UDP(-Lite) is a transport-layer protocol and therefore
the socket option code (at least in theory) should be AF-independent.

Furthermore, there is the following code reduplication:
 * do_udp{,v6}_getsockopt is 100% identical between v4 and v6
 * do_udp{,v6}_setsockopt is identical up to the following differerence
	--v4 in contrast to v4 additionally allows the experimental encapsulation
          types  UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP and UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE
	--the remainder is identical between v4 and v6
   I believe that this difference is of little relevance.

The advantages in not duplicating twice almost completely identical code.

The patch further simplifies the interface of udp{,v6}_push_pending_frames,
since for the second argument (struct udp_sock *up) it always holds that
up = udp_sk(sk); where sk is the first function argument.

Gerrit Renker ba4e58eca8 [NET]: Supporting UDP-Lite (RFC 3828) in Linux
This is a revision of the previously submitted patch, which alters
the way files are organized and compiled in the following manner:

	* UDP and UDP-Lite now use separate object files
	* source file dependencies resolved via header files
	  net/ipv{4,6}/udp_impl.h
	* order of inclusion files in udp.c/udplite.c adapted
	  accordingly

[NET/IPv4]: Support for the UDP-Lite protocol (RFC 3828)

This patch adds support for UDP-Lite to the IPv4 stack, provided as an
extension to the existing UDPv4 code:
        * generic routines are all located in net/ipv4/udp.c
        * UDP-Lite specific routines are in net/ipv4/udplite.c
        * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/udplite
        * shared API with extensions for partial checksum coverage

[NET/IPv6]: Extension for UDP-Lite over IPv6

It extends the existing UDPv6 code base with support for UDP-Lite
in the same manner as per UDPv4. In particular,
        * UDPv6 generic and shared code is in net/ipv6/udp.c
        * UDP-Litev6 specific extensions are in net/ipv6/udplite.c
        * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp6 and /proc/net/udplite6
        * support for IPV6_ADDRFORM
        * aligned the coding style of protocol initialisation with af_inet6.c
        * made the error handling in udpv6_queue_rcv_skb consistent;
          to return `-1' on error on all error cases
        * consolidation of shared code

[NET]: UDP-Lite Documentation and basic XFRM/Netfilter support

The UDP-Lite patch further provides
        * API documentation for UDP-Lite
        * basic xfrm support
        * basic netfilter support for IPv4 and IPv6 (LOG target)

The data itself is already charged to the SKB, doing
the skb_set_owner_w() just generates a lot of noise and
extra atomics we don't really need.

Lmbench improvements on lat_tcp are minimal:

before:
TCP latency using localhost: 23.2701 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 23.1994 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 23.2257 microseconds

after:
TCP latency using localhost: 22.8380 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 22.9465 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 22.8462 microseconds

Eric Dumazet 72a3effaf6 [NET]: Size listen hash tables using backlog hint
We currently allocate a fixed size (TCP_SYNQ_HSIZE=512) slots hash table for
each LISTEN socket, regardless of various parameters (listen backlog for
example)

On x86_64, this means order-1 allocations (might fail), even for 'small'
sockets, expecting few connections. On the contrary, a huge server wanting a
backlog of 50000 is slowed down a bit because of this fixed limit.

This patch makes the sizing of listen hash table a dynamic parameter,
depending of :
- net.core.somaxconn tunable (default is 128)
- net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog tunable (default : 256, 1024 or 128)
- backlog value given by user application  (2nd parameter of listen())

For large allocations (bigger than PAGE_SIZE), we use vmalloc() instead of
kmalloc().

We still limit memory allocation with the two existing tunables (somaxconn &
tcp_max_syn_backlog). So for standard setups, this patch actually reduce RAM
usage.
