So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)
Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

This patch eliminates some duplicate code for the verification of
receive checksums between UDP-Lite and UDP. It does this by
introducing __skb_checksum_complete_head which is identical to
__skb_checksum_complete_head apart from the fact that it takes
a length parameter rather than computing the first skb->len bytes.
As a result UDP-Lite will be able to use hardware checksum offload
for packets which do not use partial coverage checksums. It also
means that UDP-Lite loopback no longer does unnecessary checksum
verification.
If any NICs start support UDP-Lite this would also start working
automatically.

We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.
This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16
I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.
As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)
Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)
Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)

sk_backlog is a critical field of struct sock. (known famous words)
It is (ab)used in hot paths, in particular in release_sock(), tcp_recvmsg(),
tcp_v4_rcv(), sk_receive_skb().
It really makes sense to place it next to sk_lock, because sk_backlog is only
used after sk_lock locked (and thus memory cache line in L1 cache). This
should reduce cache misses and sk_lock acquisition time.
(In theory, we could only move the head pointer near sk_lock, and leaving tail
far away, because 'tail' is normally not so hot, but keep it simple :) )

The generic networking code ensures that no two networking devices
have the same name, so there is no time except when sysfs has
implementation bugs that device_rename when called from
dev_change_name will fail.
The current error handling for errors from device_rename in
dev_change_name is wrong and results in an unusable and unrecoverable
network device if device_rename is happens to return an error.
This patch removes the buggy error handling. Which confines the mess
when device_rename hits a problem to sysfs, instead of propagating it
the rest of the network stack. Making linux a little more robust.
Without this patch you can observe what happens when sysfs has a bug
when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set and you attempt to rename
a real network device to a name like (broken_parity_status, device,
modalias, power, resource2, subsystem_vendor, class, driver, irq,
msi_bus, resource, subsystem, uevent, config, enable, local_cpus,
numa_node, resource0, subsystem_device, vendor)

be safe and it keeps the system from going completely wacky.

The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke
userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all"

but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to
sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a
validation error.
Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework
by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the
length of an address. Report an error if address length is non
zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by
checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on

There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need

they still show up so the rounding is done only in cases of low
activity, allowing higher frequency timers in the high activity case.

Herbert sayeth:
Normally networking isn't invoked with interrupts turned off, but I
suppose we don't have a choice here. This is unique being a place where you
can get called with BH on, off, or IRQs off.
Given that this is only used for printk, the easiest solution is probably
just to disable local IRQs instead of BH.

Back in 2.4 arp requests that were recevied by netpoll were processed
in netconsole_receive_skb, where they were responded to using the src
mac of the request sender. In the 2.6 kernel arp_reply is responsible
for this function, but instead of using the src mac address of the
incomming request, the stored mac address that was registered for the
netconsole application is used. While this is usually ok, it can lead
to failures in netpoll in some situations (specifically situations
where a network may have two gateways, as arp requests from one may be
responded to using the mac address of the other). This patch reverts
the behavior to what we had in 2.4, in which all arp requests are sent
back using the src address of the request sender.

There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn,
prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus
generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add
#ifdefs.
the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine:

Stick NFS sockets in their own class to avoid some lockdep warnings. NFS
sockets are never exposed to user-space, and will hence not trigger certain
code paths that would otherwise pose deadlock scenarios.

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"

Node-aware allocation of skbs for the receive path.
Details:
- __alloc_skb gets a new node argument and cals the node-aware
slab functions with it.
- netdev_alloc_skb passed the node number it gets from dev_to_node
to it, everyone else passes -1 (any node)

I believe all the below memory barriers only matter on SMP so
therefore the smp_* variant of the barrier should be used.
I'm wondering if the barrier in net/ipv4/inet_timewait_sock.c should be
dropped entirely. schedule_work's implementation currently implies a
memory barrier and I think sane semantics of schedule_work() should imply
a memory barrier, as needed so the caller shouldn't have to worry.
It's not quite obvious why the barrier in net/packet/af_packet.c is
needed; maybe it should be implied through flush_dcache_page?
