Great, here are some comments from me:
- as some patches are missing I'm not sure if some
of my notes for cp->af usage are addressed, eg. in
set_tcp_state.
Patch 1:
- I guess this patch depends on patch 1 and 2 from v1, they are
now missing. This patch looks like a fixed patch 3 from v1.
Patch 2:
- looks ok
Patch 3:
- old_af and new_af are not needed anymore
Patch 4:
- it would be logically correct to take out the
/* Temporary for consistency */ check and the
IP_VS_CONN_F_TUNNEL check after
/* Which connection types do we support? */ into another
patch, not part of this patch. May be it can follow
this patch or even it should be the last patch in this patchset.
As result, current patch will include only the restriction
for sync protocol and the last patch will enable the
new feature.
Patch 5:
- it is not very good to just add unused args to funcs,
may be we should mix patch 5 and 6?
Patch 6:
- scripts/checkpatch.pl warnings, may be renaming
source_is_loopback to local_src can help. Make sure
we do not exceed 80 columns.
- in crosses_local_route_boundary() the check for
old_rt_is_local should be inverted, it should be:
if (!rt_mode_allow_redirect && !old_rt_is_local)
- In the "We are crossing local and non-local addresses" message
we can safely print the daddr because the family is constant for
the function. We will not do it for source address because
it is more complex (depends on skb family).
Patch 7:
- I think, it should be safe to call
skb_dst(skb)->ops->update_pmtu(skb_dst(skb), sk, NULL, mtu);
in maybe_update_pmtu(), without any family checks.
- scripts/checkpatch.pl warnings
Patch 8:
- it looks like now icmp_send* calls should depend on skb_af,
not on dest af. It means both __ip_vs_get_out_rt and
__ip_vs_get_out_rt_v6 should use some new common function that
will do "frag needed" checks for AF_INET skbs. It will also
include the __mtu_check_toobig_v6 call, the IPv6 specific part.
Then we have to provide 'ipvsh' as arg to __ip_vs_get_out_rt,
it is already provided to __ip_vs_get_out_rt_v6.
- "frag needed for %pI4" looks correct because df is set only
for IPv4.
Patch 9:
- we can use skb_af instead of version, right?
- using of out_skb in ip_vs_prepare_tunneled_skb leads to
errors (example: IPv6), better to use new_skb and to work
only with skb.
- ERR_PTR(ENOMEM) should be ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)
- the old iptunnel_handle_offloads call still remains in
ip_vs_tunnel_xmit_v6, should be removed
- __tun_gso_type_mask: only encaps_af should be used/checked?
Or may be:
if (encaps_af == AF_INET) {
if (orig_af == AF_INET)
return SKB_GSO_IPIP;
#ifdef CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6
if (orig_af == AF_INET6)
return SKB_GSO_SIT;
#endif
}
...
return 0;
- iph->payload_len = ntohs(payload_len);
should be iph->payload_len = htons(payload_len);
- scripts/checkpatch.pl warnings
