Rami Rosen 2307f866f5 ipv4: remove ip_mc_drop_socket() declaration from af_inet.c.
ip_mc_drop_socket() method is declared in linux/igmp.h, which
is included anyhow in af_inet.c. So there is no need for this declaration.
This patch removes it from af_inet.c.

Nivedita Singhvi f771bef980 ipv4: New multicast-all socket option
After some discussion offline with Christoph Lameter and David Stevens
regarding multicast behaviour in Linux, I'm submitting a slightly
modified patch from the one Christoph submitted earlier.

This patch provides a new socket option IP_MULTICAST_ALL.

In this case, default behaviour is _unchanged_ from the current
Linux standard. The socket option is set by default to provide
original behaviour. Sockets wishing to receive data only from
multicast groups they join explicitly will need to clear this
socket option.

Eric Dumazet 573636cbaf [PATCH] net: remove superfluous call to synchronize_net()
inet_register_protosw() function is responsible for adding a new
inet protocol into a global table (inetsw[]) that is used with RCU rules.

As soon as the store of the pointer is done, other cpus might see
this new protocol in inetsw[], so we have to make sure new protocol
is ready for use. All pending memory updates should thus be committed
to memory before setting the pointer.
This is correctly done using rcu_assign_pointer()

synchronize_net() is typically used at unregister time, after
unsetting the pointer, to make sure no other cpu is still using
the object we want to dismantle. Using it at register time
is only adding an artificial delay that could hide a real bug,
and this bug could popup if/when synchronize_rcu() can proceed
faster than now.

This saves about 13 ms on boot time on a HZ=1000 8 cpus machine  ;) 
(4 calls to inet_register_protosw(), and about 3200 us per call)

Herbert Xu a5ad24be72 gro: Optimise IPv4 packet reception
As this function can be called more than half a million times for
10GbE, it's important to optimise it as much as we can.

This patch does some obvious changes to use 2-byte and 4-byte
operations instead of byte-oriented ones where possible.  Bit
ops are also used to replace logical ops to reduce branching.

Herbert Xu 86911732d3 gro: Avoid copying headers of unmerged packets
Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best.  The fraginfo
interface turned out to be suboptimal.  The problem was quite
obvious.  For every packet, we have to copy the headers from
the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the
packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge.

LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers
from the frags structure.

This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface
that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without
having to copy it.  Because all drivers that use frags place the
headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough.

Herbert Xu bf296b125b tcp: Add GRO support
This patch adds the TCP-specific portion of GRO.  The criterion for
merging is extremely strict (the TCP header must match exactly apart
from the checksum) so as to allow refragmentation.  Otherwise this
is pretty much identical to LRO, except that we support the merging
of ECN packets.

Herbert Xu 73cc19f155 ipv4: Add GRO infrastructure
This patch adds GRO support for IPv4.

The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular,
we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for
the length, ID and checksum.  In addition, the ID must form an
arithmetic sequence with a difference of one.

The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware
TSO solutions already obey this rule.  Linux itself also obeys this
whether GSO is in use or not.

In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather
making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate
skb's tail).

David S. Miller db8dac20d5 [UDP]: Revert udplite and code split.
This reverts commit db1ed684f6 ("[IPV6]
UDP: Rename IPv6 UDP files."), commit
8be8af8fa4 ("[IPV4] UDP: Move
IPv4-specific bits to other file.") and commit
e898d4db27 ("[UDP]: Allow users to
configure UDP-Lite.").

First, udplite is of such small cost, and it is a core protocol just
like TCP and normal UDP are.

We spent enormous amounts of effort to make udplite share as much code
with core UDP as possible.  All of that work is less valuable if we're
just going to slap a config option on udplite support.

It is also causing build failures, as reported on linux-next, showing
that the changeset was not tested very well.  In fact, this is the
second build failure resulting from the udplite change.

Finally, the config options provided was a bool, instead of a modular
option.  Meaning the udplite code does not even get build tested
by allmodconfig builds, and furthermore the user is not presented
with a reasonable modular build option which is particularly needed
by distribution vendors.
