2012-11-07af-packet: fix oops when socket is not presentEric Leblond
Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops in normal trafic condition: commit c0de08d04215031d68fa13af36f347a6cfa252ca Author: Eric Leblond <eric@regit.org> Date:   Thu Aug 16 22:02:58 2012 +0000     af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable branches. When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed. This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in this case.

2012-11-03rtnetlink: Use nlmsg type RTM_NEWNEIGH from dflt fdb dumpJohn Fastabend
Change the dflt fdb dump handler to use RTM_NEWNEIGH to be compatible with bridge dump routines. The dump reply from the network driver handlers should match the reply from bridge handler. The fact they were not in the ixgbe case was effectively a bug. This patch resolves it. Applications that were not checking the nlmsg type will continue to work. And now applications that do check the type will work as expected. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-10-22net: fix secpath kmemleakEric Dumazet
Mike Kazantsev found 3.5 kernels and beyond were leaking memory, and tracked the faulty commit to a1c7fff7e18f59e ("net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()") While this commit seems fine, it uncovered a bug introduced in commit bad43ca8325 ("net: introduce skb_try_coalesce()), in function kfree_skb_partial()"): If head is stolen, we free the sk_buff, without removing references on secpath (skb->sp). So IPsec + IP defrag/reassembly (using skb coalescing), or TCP coalescing could leak secpath objects. Fix this bug by calling skb_release_head_state(skb) to properly release all possible references to linked objects.

2012-10-10pktgen: fix crash when generating IPv6 packetsAmerigo Wang
For IPv6, sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) = 40, thus the following expression will result negative: datalen = pkt_dev->cur_pkt_size - 14 - sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) - sizeof(struct udphdr) - pkt_dev->pkt_overhead; And, the check "if (datalen < sizeof(struct pktgen_hdr))" will be passed as "datalen" is promoted to unsigned, therefore will cause a crash later. This is a quick fix by checking if "datalen" is negative. The following patch will increase the default value of 'min_pkt_size' for IPv6. This bug should exist for a long time, so Cc -stable too.

2012-10-08vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocolsFlorian Zumbiehl
6a32e4f9dd9219261f8856f817e6655114cfec2f made the vlan code skip marking vlan-tagged frames for not locally configured vlans as PACKET_OTHERHOST if there was an rx_handler, as the rx_handler could cause the frame to be received on a different (virtual) vlan-capable interface where that vlan might be configured. As rx_handlers do not necessarily return RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER, this could cause frames for unknown vlans to be delivered to the protocol stack as if they had been received untagged. For example, if an ipv6 router advertisement that's tagged for a locally not configured vlan is received on an interface with macvlan interfaces attached, macvlan's rx_handler returns RX_HANDLER_PASS after delivering the frame to the macvlan interfaces, which caused it to be passed to the protocol stack, leading to ipv6 addresses for the announced prefix being configured even though those are completely unusable on the underlying interface. The fix moves marking as PACKET_OTHERHOST after the rx_handler so the rx_handler, if there is one, sees the frame unchanged, but afterwards, before the frame is delivered to the protocol stack, it gets marked whether there is an rx_handler or not.

2012-10-08net: gro: selective flush of packetsEric Dumazet
Current GRO can hold packets in gro_list for almost unlimited time, in case napi->poll() handler consumes its budget over and over. In this case, napi_complete()/napi_gro_flush() are not called. Another problem is that gro_list is flushed in non friendly way : We scan the list and complete packets in the reverse order. (youngest packets first, oldest packets last) This defeats priorities that sender could have cooked. Since GRO currently only store TCP packets, we dont really notice the bug because of retransmits, but this behavior can add unexpected latencies, particularly on mice flows clamped by elephant flows. This patch makes sure no packet can stay more than 1 ms in queue, and only in stress situations. It also complete packets in the right order to minimize latencies.

Before accessing skb first fragment, better make sure there is one.

2012-10-07net: remove skb recyclingEric Dumazet
Over time, skb recycling infrastructure got litle interest and many bugs. Generic rx path skb allocation is now using page fragments for efficient GRO / TCP coalescing, and recyling a tx skb for rx path is not worth the pain. Last identified bug is that fat skbs can be recycled and it can endup using high order pages after few iterations. With help from Maxime Bizon, who pointed out that commit 87151b8689d (net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom) introduced this regression for recycled skbs. Instead of fixing this bug, lets remove skb recycling. Drivers wanting really hot skbs should use build_skb() anyway, to allocate/populate sk_buff right before netif_receive_skb() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Maxime Bizon <mbizon@freebox.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull vfs update from Al Viro: - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of that is moved to fs/file.c (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate pile, this was just a mechanical code movement. - a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle, there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."

This benefits processes that have very many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common. From Eric Dumazet. 10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page allocator c) less waste of space.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review. The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network. Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues. The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int. Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to handle those places with simple trivial patches. Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before. Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts for most of the code size growth in my git tree. Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications. While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty. Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no problems from identical code from different trees showing up in linux-next.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this round including considerable API and behavior cleanups. * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as expected. * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added. These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface and behave like timer which is executed with process context. * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario the overhead isn't too high. All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished execution of any previous queueing on return. * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU hotplug handling significantly. * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU hotplug. There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

We currently use percpu order-0 pages in __netdev_alloc_frag to deliver fragments used by __netdev_alloc_skb() Depending on NIC driver and arch being 32 or 64 bit, it allows a page to be split in several fragments (between 1 and 8), assuming PAGE_SIZE=4096 Switching to bigger pages (32768 bytes for PAGE_SIZE=4096 case) allows : - Better filling of space (the ending hole overhead is less an issue) - Less calls to page allocator or accesses to page->_count - Could allow struct skb_shared_info futures changes without major performance impact. This patch implements a transparent fallback to smaller pages in case of memory pressure. It also uses a standard "struct page_frag" instead of a custom one.

2012-09-24net: use a per task frag allocatorEric Dumazet
We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg() operations. This page is used to build fragments for skbs. Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent) But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit page allocator more than wanted. This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages, if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure. (up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86) This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device, but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled. Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments, but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536 Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

2012-09-20net: do not disable sg for packets requiring no checksumEd Cashin
A change in a series of VLAN-related changes appears to have inadvertently disabled the use of the scatter gather feature of network cards for transmission of non-IP ethernet protocols like ATA over Ethernet (AoE). Below is a reference to the commit that introduces a "harmonize_features" function that turns off scatter gather when the NIC does not support hardware checksumming for the ethernet protocol of an sk buff. commit f01a5236bd4b140198fbcc550f085e8361fd73fa Author: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Date: Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000 net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features(). The can_checksum_protocol function is not equipped to consider a protocol that does not require checksumming. Calling it for a protocol that requires no checksum is inappropriate. The patch below has harmonize_features call can_checksum_protocol when the protocol needs a checksum, so that the network layer is not forced to perform unnecessary skb linearization on the transmission of AoE packets. Unnecessary linearization results in decreased performance and increased memory pressure, as reported here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.html The problem has probably not been widely experienced yet, because only recently has the kernel.org-distributed aoe driver acquired the ability to use payloads of over a page in size, with the patchset recently included in the mm tree: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/140 The coraid.com-distributed aoe driver already could use payloads of greater than a page in size, but its users generally do not use the newest kernels.

2012-09-14cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups ↵Tejun Heo
are nested for them Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors. These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same hierarchy and obtain sane behavior. Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front. This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of this patch is two-fold. * Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those doesn't surprise them. * Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support. For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder later on. v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated. v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by Glauber. v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that ->create() can affect the result per Michal.

2012-09-14cgroup: Assign subsystem IDs during compile timeDaniel Wagner
WARNING: With this change it is impossible to load external built controllers anymore. In case where CONFIG_NETPRIO_CGROUP=m and CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP=m is set, corresponding subsys_id should also be a constant. Up to now, net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id would be of the type int and the value would be assigned during runtime. By switching the macro definition IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED from IS_BUILTIN to IS_ENABLED, all *_subsys_id will have constant value. That means we need to remove all the code which assumes a value can be assigned to net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id. A close look is necessary on the RCU part which was introduces by following patch: commit f845172531fb7410c7fb7780b1a6e51ee6df7d52 Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Mon May 24 09:12:34 2010 Committer: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Mon May 24 09:12:34 2010 cls_cgroup: Store classid in struct sock Tis code was added to init_cgroup_cls() /* We can't use rcu_assign_pointer because this is an int. */ smp_wmb(); net_cls_subsys_id = net_cls_subsys.subsys_id; respectively to exit_cgroup_cls() net_cls_subsys_id = -1; synchronize_rcu(); and in module version of task_cls_classid() rcu_read_lock(); id = rcu_dereference(net_cls_subsys_id); if (id >= 0) classid = container_of(task_subsys_state(p, id), struct cgroup_cls_state, css)->classid; rcu_read_unlock(); Without an explicit explaination why the RCU part is needed. (The rcu_deference was fixed by exchanging it to rcu_derefence_index_check() in a later commit, but that is a minor detail.) So here is my pondering why it was introduced and why it safe to remove it now. Note that this code was copied over to net_prio the reasoning holds for that subsystem too. The idea behind the RCU use for net_cls_subsys_id is to make sure we get a valid pointer back from task_subsys_state(). task_subsys_state() is just blindly accessing the subsys array and returning the pointer. Obviously, passing in -1 as id into task_subsys_state() returns an invalid value (out of lower bound). So this code makes sure that only after module is loaded and the subsystem registered, the id is assigned. Before unregistering the module all old readers must have left the critical section. This is done by assigning -1 to the id and issuing a synchronized_rcu(). Any new readers wont call task_subsys_state() anymore and therefore it is safe to unregister the subsystem. The new code relies on the same trick, but it looks at the subsys pointer return by task_subsys_state() (remember the id is constant and therefore we allways have a valid index into the subsys array). No precautions need to be taken during module loading module. Eventually, all CPUs will get a valid pointer back from task_subsys_state() because rebind_subsystem() which is called after the module init() function will assigned subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] the newly loaded module subsystem pointer. When the subsystem is about to be removed, rebind_subsystem() will called before the module exit() function. In this case, rebind_subsys() will assign subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] a NULL pointer and then it calls synchronize_rcu(). All old readers have left by then the critical section. Any new reader wont access the subsystem anymore. At this point we are safe to unregister the subsystem. No synchronize_rcu() call is needed.
