2008-10-01tcp: Port redirection support for TCPKOVACS Krisztian
Current TCP code relies on the local port of the listening socket being the same as the destination address of the incoming connection. Port redirection used by many transparent proxying techniques obviously breaks this, so we have to store the original destination port address. This patch extends struct inet_request_sock and stores the incoming destination port value there. It also modifies the handshake code to use that value as the source port when sending reply packets.

2008-10-01ipv4: Make Netfilter's ip_route_me_harder() non-local address compatibleKOVACS Krisztian
Netfilter's ip_route_me_harder() tries to re-route packets either generated or re-routed by Netfilter. This patch changes ip_route_me_harder() to handle packets from non-locally-bound sockets with IP_TRANSPARENT set as local and to set the appropriate flowi flags when re-doing the routing lookup.

2008-10-01tcp: Handle TCP SYN+ACK/ACK/RST transparencyKOVACS Krisztian
The TCP stack sends out SYN+ACK/ACK/RST reply packets in response to incoming packets. The non-local source address check on output bites us again, as replies for transparently redirected traffic won't have a chance to leave the node. This patch selectively sets the FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC flag when doing the route lookup for those replies. Transparent replies are enabled if the listening socket has the transparent socket flag set.

2008-10-01ipv4: Make inet_sock.h independent of route.hKOVACS Krisztian
inet_iif() in inet_sock.h requires route.h. Since users of inet_iif() usually require other route.h functionality anyway this patch moves inet_iif() to route.h. Signed-off-by: KOVACS Krisztian <hidden@sch.bme.hu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-10-01ipv4: Allow binding to non-local addresses if IP_TRANSPARENT is setTóth László Attila
Setting IP_TRANSPARENT is not really useful without allowing non-local binds for the socket. To make user-space code simpler we allow these binds even if IP_TRANSPARENT is set but IP_FREEBIND is not.

2008-10-01ipv4: Implement IP_TRANSPARENT socket optionKOVACS Krisztian
This patch introduces the IP_TRANSPARENT socket option: enabling that will make the IPv4 routing omit the non-local source address check on output. Setting IP_TRANSPARENT requires NET_ADMIN capability. Signed-off-by: KOVACS Krisztian <hidden@sch.bme.hu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-10-01ipv4: Loosen source address check on IPv4 outputJulian Anastasov
ip_route_output() contains a check to make sure that no flows with non-local source IP addresses are routed. This obviously makes using such addresses impossible. This patch introduces a flowi flag which makes omitting this check possible. The new flag provides a way of handling transparent and non-transparent connections differently.

2008-09-22ipvs: Restrict sync message to 255 connectionsSven Wegener
The nr_conns variable in the sync message header is only eight bits wide and will overflow on interfaces with a large MTU. As a result the backup won't parse all connections contained in the sync buffer. On regular ethernet with an MTU of 1500 this isn't a problem, because we can't overflow the value, but consider jumbo frames being used on a cross-over connection between both directors. We now restrict the size of the sync buffer, so that we never put more than 255 connections into a single sync buffer.

2008-09-21tcp: advertise MSS requested by userTom Quetchenbach
I'm trying to use the TCP_MAXSEG option to setsockopt() to set the MSS for both sides of a bidirectional connection. man tcp says: "If this option is set before connection establishment, it also changes the MSS value announced to the other end in the initial packet." However, the kernel only uses the MTU/route cache to set the advertised MSS. That means if I set the MSS to, say, 500 before calling connect(), I will send at most 500-byte packets, but I will still receive 1500-byte packets in reply. This is a bug, either in the kernel or the documentation. This patch (applies to latest net-2.6) reduces the advertised value to that requested by the user as long as setsockopt() is called before connect() or accept(). This seems like the behavior that one would expect as well as that which is documented. I've tried to make sure that things that depend on the advertised MSS are set correctly.

2008-09-20tcp: back retransmit_high when it over-estimatedIlpo Järvinen
If lost skb is sacked, we might have nothing to retransmit as high as the retransmit_high is pointing to, so place it lower to avoid unnecessary walking.

2008-09-20tcp: don't clear lost_skb_hint when not necessaryIlpo Järvinen
Most importantly avoid doing it with cumulative ACK. However, since we have lost_cnt_hint in the picture as well needing adjustments, it's not as trivial as dealing with retransmit_skb_hint (and cannot be done in the all place we could trivially leave retransmit_skb_hint untouched). With the previous patch, this should mostly remove O(n^2) behavior while cumulative ACKs start flowing once rexmit after a lossy round-trip made it through.

2008-09-20tcp: remove retransmit_skb_hint clearing from failureIlpo Järvinen

2008-09-20tcp: Kill precaution that's very likely obsoleteIlpo Järvinen
I suspect it might have been related to the changed amount of lost skbs, which was counted by retransmit_cnt_hint that got changed.

2008-09-20tcp: convert retransmit_cnt_hint to seqnoIlpo Järvinen
Main benefit in this is that we can then freely point the retransmit_skb_hint to anywhere we want to because there's no longer need to know what would be the count changes involve, and since this is really used only as a terminator, unnecessary work is one time walk at most, and if some retransmissions are necessary after that point later on, the walk is not full waste of time anyway. Since retransmit_high must be kept valid, all lost markers must ensure that. Now I also have learned how those "holes" in the rexmittable skbs can appear, mtu probe does them. So I removed the misleading comment as well. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

How to reproduce ? - create a network namespace - use tcp protocol and get timewait socket - exit the network namespace - after a moment (when the timewait socket is destroyed), the kernel panics. # BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000007 IP: [<ffffffff821e394d>] inet_twdr_do_twkill_work+0x6e/0xb8 PGD 119985067 PUD 11c5c0067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 1 Modules linked in: ipv6 button battery ac loop dm_mod tg3 libphy ext3 jbd edd fan thermal processor thermal_sys sg sata_svw libata dock serverworks sd_mod scsi_mod ide_disk ide_core [last unloaded: freq_table] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.27-rc2 #3 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff821e394d>] [<ffffffff821e394d>] inet_twdr_do_twkill_work+0x6e/0xb8 RSP: 0018:ffff88011ff7fed0 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffffffffffffffff RBX: ffffffff82339420 RCX: ffff88011ff7ff30 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: ffff88011a4d03c0 RDI: ffff88011ac2fc00 RBP: ffffffff823392e0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff88002802a200 R10: ffff8800a5c4b000 R11: ffffffff823e4080 R12: ffff88011ac2fc00 R13: 0000000000000001 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000041cbd940(0000) GS:ffff8800bff839c0(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0018 ES: 0018 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000007 CR3: 00000000bd87c000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process swapper (pid: 0, threadinfo ffff8800bff9e000, task ffff88011ff76690) Stack: ffffffff823392e0 0000000000000100 ffffffff821e3a3a 0000000000000008 0000000000000000 ffffffff821e3a61 ffff8800bff7c000 ffffffff8203c7e7 ffff88011ff7ff10 ffff88011ff7ff10 0000000000000021 ffffffff82351108 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff821e3a3a>] ? inet_twdr_hangman+0x0/0x9e [<ffffffff821e3a61>] ? inet_twdr_hangman+0x27/0x9e [<ffffffff8203c7e7>] ? run_timer_softirq+0x12c/0x193 [<ffffffff820390d1>] ? __do_softirq+0x5e/0xcd [<ffffffff8200d08c>] ? call_softirq+0x1c/0x28 [<ffffffff8200e611>] ? do_softirq+0x2c/0x68 [<ffffffff8201a055>] ? smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x8e/0xa9 [<ffffffff8200cad6>] ? apic_timer_interrupt+0x66/0x70 <EOI> [<ffffffff82011f4c>] ? default_idle+0x27/0x3b [<ffffffff8200abbd>] ? cpu_idle+0x5f/0x7d Code: e8 01 00 00 4c 89 e7 41 ff c5 e8 8d fd ff ff 49 8b 44 24 38 4c 89 e7 65 8b 14 25 24 00 00 00 89 d2 48 8b 80 e8 00 00 00 48 f7 d0 <48> 8b 04 d0 48 ff 40 58 e8 fc fc ff ff 48 89 df e8 c0 5f 04 00 RIP [<ffffffff821e394d>] inet_twdr_do_twkill_work+0x6e/0xb8 RSP <ffff88011ff7fed0> CR2: 0000000000000007 This patch provides a function to purge all timewait sockets related to a network namespace. The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to the namespace like for example in: inet_twdr_do_twkill_work -> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED); Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will: 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Acked-by: Denis V.
