This patch series adds network name space support to the LVS.
REVISION
This is version 2
OVERVIEW
The patch doesn't remove or add any functionality except for netns.
For users that don't use network name space (netns) this patch is
completely transparent.
Now it's possible to run LVS in a Linux container (see lxc-tools)
i.e. a light weight visualization. For example it's possible to run
one or several lvs on a real server in their own network name spaces.
From the LVS point of view it looks like it runs on it's own machine.
IMPLEMENTATION
Basic requirements for netns awareness
- Global variables has to be moved to dyn. allocated memory.
- No or very little performance loss
Large hash tables connection hash and service hashes still resides in
global memory with net ptr added in hash key.
Most global variables now resides in a struct ipvs { } in netns/ip_vs.h.
The size of per name space is 2004 bytes (for x86_64) and a little bit less
for 32 bit archs.
Statistics counters is now lock-free i.e. incremented per CPU,
The estimator does a sum when using it.
Procfs ip_vs_stats is also changed to reflect the "per cpu"
ex.
# cat /proc/net/ip_vs_stats

Great! I have some small comments after first look:
v2 PATCH 01/22 - basic init
- first change in ip_vs_conn.c adds existing code:
/* Compute size and mask */
v2 PATCH 02/22 - services part 1
- net = skb_net(skb) in ip_vs_out must be after
check for skb_dst. The skb_dst checks are in ip_vs_in and
ip_vs_out, so skb_net() can be used only after these checks.
- __ip_vs_service_find and __ip_vs_svc_fwm_find are fast path,
may be net_eq(svc->net, net) check can be last, I assume
the different netns will use different VIPs and VPORTs?
- ip_vs_svc_table and ip_vs_svc_fwm_table are not per-ns,
so we can not use per-ns mutex in patch 17
v2 PATCH 03/22 - lblcr
v2 PATCH 04/22 - lblc
v2 PATCH 05/22 - prepare protocol
v2 PATCH 06/22 - tcp
v2 PATCH 07/22 - udp
v2 PATCH 08/22 - sctp
v2 PATCH 09/22 - AH, ESP
v2 PATCH 10/22 - use ip_vs_proto_data as param
- update_defense_level: are per-ns memory stats/limits possible?
- The pp -> pd conversion should start from functions like
ip_vs_out() that use pp = ip_vs_proto_get(iph.protocol),
now they should use
ip_vs_proto_data_get(net, iph.protocol). If
pp is needed, it is available from pd->pp. Many functions
that provide pp as argument should now provide pd.
Then 2nd lookups for proto like in ip_vs_set_state should
disappear.
- copy-and-paste bug in ip_vs_ctl.c:ip_vs_set_timeout():
pd = ip_vs_proto_data_get(net, IPPROTO_TCP)
should be IPPROTO_UDP
- may be ip_vs_protocol_timeout_change should propagate
event to all pd, not all pp?
v2 PATCH 11/22 - appcnt
v2 PATCH 12/22 - apps
v2 PATCH 13/22 - ip_vs_est
- estimation_timer: what protection is needed for for_each_net?
It is rtnl for user context and RCU for softirq?
May be est_timer must be per NS? Now may be rcu_read_lock is
needed before for_each_net_rcu ? for_each_net can be called
only under rtnl_lock?
v2 PATCH 14/22 - ip_vs_sync
v2 PATCH 15/22 - ip_vs_stats
- This was one of the hurdles for IPVS RCU conversion, the others
being dest->svc->stats and scheduler state. But can this
change break some scripts that parse /proc/net/ip_vs_stats ?
v2 PATCH 16/22 - connection hash
v2 PATCH 17/22 - ip_vs_ctl local vars
- I hope it is not fatal if __ip_vs_mutex remains global
because svc lists are global in patch 2
v2 PATCH 18/22 - defense work
v2 PATCH 19/22 - trash
v2 PATCH 20/22 - global svc counters
v2 PATCH 21/22 - init_net removal
v2 PATCH 22/22 - enable netns
