Linux Kernel Network Stack Work
Required skills: C/C++, Linux
We're looking for someone to implement an extension to the Linux network stack. What we're trying to achieve is the aggregation of UDP packets to and from a user-space program, so that multiple packets can be passed in either direction using a single system call. Furthermore, inbound packets are likely to be coming in to a variety of ports.
How we think this can be done:
- a kernel module which:
* for packets on the way in to the machine
- hooks the network stack using NF_HOOK
- checks incoming UDP packets against a list of ports supplied by our user-space program
- if it finds a match, buffers the packet and prevents it being processed further by the vanilla network stack.
* provides user-space interfaces to:
- receive the currently buffered packets (like recv, but returning multiple packets in one call)
- transmit multiple packets
- add and remove ports from the list that we're interested in.
An alternative way of thinking about this is as a version of SOCK_RAW which
(a) filters inbound packets and blocks those that we're interested in from the rest of the network stack, and
(b) aggregates packets to and from user space.
The reason for doing this? We've an application which handles large numbers of small UDP packets on a collection of different ports, and it's spending most of its time context-switching between user-space and the kernel.
We're open to suggestions of other ways to achieve this end.
We're looking for someone experienced in this field: please don't PM me a portfolio of websites created in PHP..

Linux Kernel Module Update
26 && <= 2.6.38. I need this converted to work with Linux Kernel 3.2.6. It uses inodes with path_lookup for monitoring for file operations. My understanding is that this has changed to function kern_path which uses struct path * instead of struct nameidata *. I need to have this update made to the module as well as any other upgrade compatibility issues cleared up. The module is only 654 lines long and the changes should be minimal.

New scheduler for the linux kernel - per-user CPU-limits
Hello, I need a new linux kernel scheduler that limits CPU usage per user.
For instance, I want to be able to say that no user should be able to use more then 50% CPU.
It should work for the centos5 SMP kernel (2.6.18).

Linux kernel scheduler modification
y to receive notifications on thread context switches.
Delivery would consist of:
- new code exposing the new function for installing a thread switch hook for the calling process
- Linux kernel 2.6.x (2.4.x too for bonus) patch for calling the hook, if installed, on the stack of each of the (user) threads of the hooking process, right before resuming the thread
- test/validation code

It should also provide packet counters to record different categories of packets based on size, and able to work out throughput based on the number of packets forwarded and their size.
I would need a complete listing of all source code, and an explanation of each variable used. It shouldn't use any built in Linux firewall or routing functions, but be self contained, and it should work with a normal unmodified kernel.

Linux Server Kernel Recompile
is needs to be a flawless exercise by yourself and downtime can not be in excess of 5minutes. This is usually the time given for any reboots needed. So vigilance is needed, as if you mess up the kernel; I have to restore which will take around 10-30minutes.
I have a test server so I can personally test 100 Tickrate using the -tickrate 100 in the start up line.
Please be 100% confident you know what to change and you know what you're doing, as I will ask questions.
