2008-01-24Revert "mac80211: warn when receiving frames with unaligned data"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 81100eb80add328c4d2a377326f15aa0e7236398 for the release, to avoid the unnecessary warning noise that is only really relevant to wireless driver developers. The warning will probably go right back in after I cut the release, but at least we won't unnecessarily worry users. Acked-by: John W.

2008-01-23[INET]: Fix truesize setting in ip_append_dataHerbert Xu
As it is ip_append_data only counts page fragments to the skb that allocated it. As such it means that the first skb gets hit with a 4K charge even though it might have only used a fraction of it while all subsequent skb's that use the same page gets away with no charge at all. This bug was exposed by the UDP accounting patch.

2008-01-21[ICMP]: ICMP_MIB_OUTMSGS increment duplicatedWang Chen
Commit "96793b482540f3a26e2188eaf75cb56b7829d3e3" (Add ICMPMsgStats MIB (RFC 4293)) made a mistake. In that patch, David L added a icmp_out_count() in ip_push_pending_frames(), remove icmp_out_count() from icmp_reply(). But he forgot to remove icmp_out_count() from icmp_send() too. Since icmp_send and icmp_reply will call icmp_push_reply, which will call ip_push_pending_frames, a duplicated increment happened in icmp_send. This patch remove the icmp_out_count from icmp_send too. Signed-off-by: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-01-20[NET]: rtnl_link: fix use-after-freePatrick McHardy
When unregistering the rtnl_link_ops, all existing devices using the ops are destroyed. With nested devices this may lead to a use-after-free despite the use of for_each_netdev_safe() in case the upper device is next in the device list and is destroyed by the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier. The easy fix is to restart scanning the device list after removing a device. Alternatively we could add new devices to the front of the list to avoid having dependant devices follow the device they depend on. A third option would be to only restart scanning if dev->iflink of the next device matches dev->ifindex of the current one. For now this seems like the safest solution. With this patch, the veth rtnl_link_ops unregistration can use rtnl_link_unregister() directly since it now also handles destruction of multiple devices at once.

2008-01-20[NETFILTER]: bridge-netfilter: fix net_device refcnt leaksPatrick McHardy
When packets are flood-forwarded to multiple output devices, the bridge-netfilter code reuses skb->nf_bridge for each clone to store the bridge port. When queueing packets using NFQUEUE netfilter takes a reference to skb->nf_bridge->physoutdev, which is overwritten when the packet is forwarded to the second port. This causes refcount unterflows for the first device and refcount leaks for all others. Additionally this provides incorrect data to the iptables physdev match. Unshare skb->nf_bridge by copying it if it is shared before assigning the physoutdev device. Reported, tested and based on initial patch by Jan Christoph Nordholz <hesso@pool.math.tu-berlin.de>.

2008-01-20[IPV6] ROUTE: Make sending algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki
We omit (or delay) sending NSes for known-to-unreachable routers (in NUD_FAILED state) according to RFC 4191 (Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes). But this is not fully compatible with RFC 4861 (Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6), which does not remember unreachability of neighbors. So, let's avoid mixing sending algorithm of RFC 4191 and that of RFC 4861, and make the algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861 if RFC 4191 is disabled.

2008-01-11[NETFILTER]: bridge: fix double POST_ROUTING invocationPatrick McHardy
The bridge code incorrectly causes two POST_ROUTING hook invocations for DNATed packets that end up on the same bridge device. This happens because packets with a changed destination address are passed to dst_output() to make them go through the neighbour output function again to build a new destination MAC address, before they will continue through the IP hooks simulated by bridge netfilter. The resulting hook order is: PREROUTING (bridge netfilter) POSTROUTING (dst_output -> ip_output) FORWARD (bridge netfilter) POSTROUTING (bridge netfilter) The deferred hooks used to abort the first POST_ROUTING invocation, but since the only thing bridge netfilter actually really wants is a new MAC address, we can avoid going through the IP stack completely by simply calling the neighbour output function directly.

2008-01-10[NEIGH]: Fix race between neigh_parms_release and neightbl_fill_parmsPavel Emelyanov
The neightbl_fill_parms() is called under the write-locked tbl->lock and accesses the parms->dev. The negh_parm_release() calls the dev_put(parms->dev) without this lock. This creates a tiny race window on which the parms contains potentially stale dev pointer. To fix this race it's enough to move the dev_put() upper under the tbl->lock, but note, that the parms are held by neighbors and thus can live after the neigh_parms_release() is called, so we still can have a parm with bad dev pointer. I didn't find where the neigh->parms->dev is accessed, but still think that putting the dev is to be done in a place, where the parms are really freed. Am I right with that?

2008-01-08[NET]: Clone the sk_buff 'iif' field in __skb_clone()Paul Moore
Both NetLabel and SELinux (other LSMs may grow to use it as well) rely on the 'iif' field to determine the receiving network interface of inbound packets. Unfortunately, at present this field is not preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack. This patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in __skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed. Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the offsets to reduce cacheline bounces. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

While strace-ing -T it I also noticed that first part of route cache is fetched quite fast : recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202 GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3772 <0.000047> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\234\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\ 202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3736 <0.000042> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\204\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\ 202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3740 <0.000055> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\234\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\ 202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3712 <0.000043> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\204\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\ 202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3732 <0.000053> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202 GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3708 <0.000052> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202 GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3680 <0.000041> while the part at the end of the table is more expensive: recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\204\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3656 <0.003857> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\204\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3772 <0.003891> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3712 <0.003765> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3700 <0.003879> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3676 <0.003797> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"p\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\2\0\2\0"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3724 <0.003856> recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\234\0\0\0\30\0\2\0\254i\202GXm\0\0\2 \0\376\0\0\1\0\2"..., 16384}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 3736 <0.003848> The following patch corrects this performance/latency problem, removing quadratic behavior.

We currently check that iph->ihl is bounded by the real length and that the real length is greater than the minimum IP header length. However, we did not check the caes where iph->ihl is less than the minimum IP header length. This breaks because some ip_fast_csum implementations assume that which is quite reasonable.

2008-01-04[X25]: Add missing x25_neigh_putJulia Lawall
The function x25_get_neigh increments a reference count. At the point of the second goto out, the result of calling x25_get_neigh is only stored in a local variable, and thus no one outside the function will be able to decrease the reference count. Thus, x25_neigh_put should be called before the return in this case. The problem was found using the following semantic match. (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ type T,T1,T2; identifier E; statement S; expression x1,x2,x3; int ret; @@ T E; ... * if ((E = x25_get_neigh(...)) == NULL) S ... when != x25_neigh_put(...,(T1)E,...) when != if (E != NULL) { ... x25_neigh_put(...,(T1)E,...); ...} when != x1 = (T1)E when != E = x3; when any if (...) { ... when != x25_neigh_put(...,(T2)E,...) when != if (E != NULL) { ... x25_neigh_put(...,(T2)E,...); ...} when != x2 = (T2)E ( * return; | * return ret; ) } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-12-29[TCP]: use non-delayed ACK for congestion control RTTGavin McCullagh
When a delayed ACK representing two packets arrives, there are two RTT samples available, one for each packet. The first (in order of seq number) will be artificially long due to the delay waiting for the second packet, the second will trigger the ACK and so will not itself be delayed. According to rfc1323, the SRTT used for RTO calculation should use the first rtt, so receivers echo the timestamp from the first packet in the delayed ack. For congestion control however, it seems measuring delayed ack delay is not desirable as it varies independently of congestion. The patch below causes seq_rtt and last_ackt to be updated with any available later packet rtts which should have less (and hopefully zero) delack delay. The rtt value then gets passed to ca_ops->pkts_acked(). Where TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP was set, effort was made to supress RTTs from within a TSO chunk (!fully_acked), using only the final ACK (which includes any TSO delay) to generate RTTs. This patch removes these checks so RTTs are passed for each ACK to ca_ops->pkts_acked(). For non-delay based congestion control (cubic, h-tcp), rtt is sometimes used for rtt-scaling. In shortening the RTT, this may make them a little less aggressive. Delay-based schemes (eg vegas, veno, illinois) should get a cleaner, more accurate congestion signal, particularly for small cwnds. The congestion control module can potentially also filter out bad RTTs due to the delayed ack alarm by looking at the associated cnt which (where delayed acking is in use) should probably be 1 if the alarm went off or greater if the ACK was triggered by a packet.
