Hi Pablo, This is a resent of last series that missed the merge window. There are no changes compared to v4. v4: Compared to v3 it contains mostly smallish naming and spelling fixes. It also drops the documentation patch, Harald did a better job with the documentation and the some things I described do not yet match the implementation. I'll readd the relevant parts with a follow up series. This series lays the groundwork for removing the socket references from the GTP netdevice by removing duplicate code and simplifying the logic on some code paths. It slighly changes the GTP genl API by making the socket parameters optional (though one of them is still required). The removal of the socket references will break the 1:1 releation between GTP netdevice and GTP socket that prevents us to support multiple VRFs with overlapping IP addresse spaces attached to the same GTP-U entity (needed for multi APN support, coming a follow up series). Pablo found a socket hold problem in v2. In order to solve that I had to switch the socket references from the struct socket to the internal struct sock. This should have no functionl impact, but we can now hang on to the reference without blocking user space from closing the GTP socket. v4->v5: * resent for new merge window v3->v4: * drop the documentation patch * spelling fixes * pass nlattr instead of genl_info into gtp_find_dev, makes the code slightly more compact and readable v2->v3: * add documentation to explain the goal of all these changes * incorporate review comments * switch from struct socket to struct sock Regards Andreas -- Andreas Schultz (7): gtp: switch from struct socket to struct sock for the GTP sockets gtp: make GTP sockets in gtp_newlink optional gtp: merge gtp_get_net and gtp_genl_find_dev gtp: consolidate gtp socket rx path gtp: unify genl_find_pdp and prepare for per socket lookup gtp: consolidate pdp context destruction into helper gtp: add socket to pdp context drivers/net/gtp.c | 543 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------------- 1 file changed, 269 insertions(+), 274 deletions(-) -- 2.10.2

New subject: [PATCH net-next v5 1/7] gtp: switch from struct socket to struct sock for the GTP sockets

After enabling the UDP encapsulation, only the sk member is used. Holding the socket would prevent user space from closing the socket, but holding a reference to the sk member does not have the same effect. This change will make it simpler to later detach the sockets from the netdevice.

New subject: [PATCH net-next v5 2/7] gtp: make GTP sockets in gtp_newlink optional

Having both GTPv0-U and GTPv1-U is not always desirable. Fallback from GTPv1-U to GTPv0-U was depreciated from 3GPP Rel-8 onwards. Post Rel-8 implementation are discuraged from listening on the v0 port (see 3GPP TS 29.281, Sect. 1). A future change will completely decouple the sockets from the network device. Till then, at least one of the sockets needs to be specified (either v0 or v1), the other is optional.

New subject: [PATCH net-next v5 3/7] gtp: merge gtp_get_net and gtp_genl_find_dev

Both function are always used together with the final goal to get the gtp_dev. This simplifies the code by merging them together. The netdevice lookup is changed to use the regular dev_get_by_index. The gtp netdevice list is now only used to find the PDP contexts for imcomming packets. It can be completely eliminated Once the TEID hash is moved into the GTP socket.

Hi Andreas,

...

Andreas Schultz (7): gtp: switch from struct socket to struct sock for the GTP sockets gtp: make GTP sockets in gtp_newlink optional gtp: merge gtp_get_net and gtp_genl_find_dev gtp: consolidate gtp socket rx path gtp: unify genl_find_pdp and prepare for per socket lookup gtp: consolidate pdp context destruction into helper gtp: add socket to pdp context

I agree with the conceptual and architectural direction that you're taking the code, and I also think your current patchset is good to go ahead, so feel free to add my "Acked-By: Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org>"g>". However, the usual disclaimer: I've been out of kernel networking land for a long time, so my review skills are clearly not the best anymore. I'm happy for any input others can give from that point of view. There are some minor typos in the commit logs, but at the rate my typos increase over the years, I am the last one to complain about wasting time on fixing these ;) Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

I presume you're talking about the "several APN behind one GGSN IP" which requires the de-coupling of the UDP socket from the gtp net-device? I actually think it is a very straight forward idea what Andreas is proposing, and I see no bloat associated. It's rather like splitting existing combined functionality in two parts, which can still be used together, but also be used separately. Or are you referring to something else? In any case, I'm looking forward to the related technical discussion on this mailing list[s] :) Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

I don't think this a podge hodge series. There is a clear goal behind all those changes and every patch is a step towards this. When I tried to send the full series including the final change that ties everything together, I got told that this was way too much. Now, that I split it into a smaller series, I get told that there is no clear idea connecting those changes. Frankly, between the two options, I had no idea how else to submit this work.

...

In your follow up patchsets, please split them in smaller series that are related.

Now that the basic infrastructure changes are in place, the followup changes are much more focused. The IPv6 transport change might be challenge later one, but that will be a separate series anyway.

...

The VRF change is more about moving stuff around, it doesn't add much. But you'll see that for yourself when I send the changes.

...

Thank you.

Thank you, Andreas

Series applied, and I agree with Pablo. If the best you can come up with for a Subject line in your series header posting is "misc improvements" it absolutely means you are putting unrelated changes together in a series and you need to refine the submission such that only related changes are submitted together. Then you can say "gtp: Adjust GTP socket handling", for example, in your header posting of a 2 patch series that includes only patches #1 and #2. Then you patiently wait for that patch series to be accepted, and then you can move onwards to the other aspects of this series.
