2012-10-08ipv4: Add FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NHJulian Anastasov
Add flag to request that output route should be returned with known rt_gateway, in case we want to use it as nexthop for neighbour resolving. The returned route can be cached as follows: - in NH exception: because the cached routes are not shared with other destinations - in FIB NH: when using gateway because all destinations for NH share same gateway As last option, to return rt_gateway!=0 we have to set DST_NOCACHE.

2012-10-08ipv4: introduce rt_uses_gatewayJulian Anastasov
Add new flag to remember when route is via gateway. We will use it to allow rt_gateway to contain address of directly connected host for the cases when DST_NOCACHE is used or when the NH exception caches per-destination route without DST_NOCACHE flag, i.e. when routes are not used for other destinations. By this way we force the neighbour resolving to work with the routed destination but we can use different address in the packet, feature needed for IPVS-DR where original packet for virtual IP is routed via route to real IP.

2012-10-04sctp: check src addr when processing SACK to update transport stateNicolas Dichtel
Suppose we have an SCTP connection with two paths. After connection is established, path1 is not available, thus this path is marked as inactive. Then traffic goes through path2, but for some reasons packets are delayed (after rto.max). Because packets are delayed, the retransmit mechanism will switch again to path1. At this time, we receive a delayed SACK from path2. When we update the state of the path in sctp_check_transmitted(), we do not take into account the source address of the SACK, hence we update the wrong path.

2012-10-04ipv4: add a fib_type to fib_infoEric Dumazet
commit d2d68ba9fe8 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.) introduced a regression for forwarding. This was hard to reproduce but the symptom was that packets were delivered to local host instead of being forwarded. David suggested to add fib_type to fib_info so that we dont inadvertently share same fib_info for different purposes. With help from Julian Anastasov who provided very helpful hints, reproduced here : <quote> Can it be a problem related to fib_info reuse from different routes. For example, when local IP address is created for subnet we have: broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.0/24 dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1 local 192.168.0.1 dev DEV proto kernel scope host src 192.168.0.1 The "dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1" is a reused fib_info structure where we put cached routes. The result can be same fib_info for 192.168.0.255 and 192.168.0.0/24. RTN_BROADCAST is cached only for input routes. Incoming broadcast to 192.168.0.255 can be cached and can cause problems for traffic forwarded to 192.168.0.0/24. So, this patch should solve the problem because it separates the broadcast from unicast traffic. And the ip_route_input_slow caching will work for local and broadcast input routes (above routes 1 and 3) just because they differ in scope and use different fib_info. </quote> Many thanks to Chris Clayton for his patience and help.

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.

2012-09-27tunnel: drop packet if ECN present with not-ECTstephen hemminger
Linux tunnels were written before RFC6040 and therefore never implemented the corner case of ECN getting set in the outer header and the inner header not being ready for it. Section 4.2. Default Tunnel Egress Behaviour. o If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT, the decapsulator MUST NOT propagate any other ECN codepoint onwards. This is because the inner Not-ECT marking is set by transports that rely on dropped packets as an indication of congestion and would not understand or respond to any other ECN codepoint [RFC4774]. Specifically: * If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT and the outer ECN field is CE, the decapsulator MUST drop the packet. * If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT and the outer ECN field is Not-ECT, ECT(0), or ECT(1), the decapsulator MUST forward the outgoing packet with the ECN field cleared to Not-ECT. This patch moves the ECN decap logic out of the individual tunnels into a common place. It also adds logging to allow detecting broken systems that set ECN bits incorrectly when tunneling (or an intermediate router might be changing the header). Overloads rx_frame_error to keep track of ECN related error. Thanks to Chris Wright who caught this while reviewing the new VXLAN tunnel. This code was tested by injecting faulty logic in other end GRE to send incorrectly encapsulated packets. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

2012-09-22tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - take SYNACK RTT after completing 3WHSNeal Cardwell
When taking SYNACK RTT samples for servers using TCP Fast Open, fix the code to ensure that we only call tcp_valid_rtt_meas() after we receive the ACK that completes the 3-way handshake. Previously we were always taking an RTT sample in tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock(). However, for TCP Fast Open connections tcp_v4_conn_req_fastopen() calls tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() at the time we receive the SYN. So for TFO we must wait until tcp_rcv_state_process() to take the RTT sample. To fix this, we wait until after TFO calls tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() before we set the snt_synack timestamp, since tcp_synack_rtt_meas() already ensures that we only take a SYNACK RTT sample if snt_synack is non-zero.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "More bug fixes, nothing gets past these guys" 1) More kernel info leaks found by Mathias Krause, this time in the IPSEC configuration layers. 2) When IPSEC policies change, we do not properly make sure that cached routes (which could now be stale) throughout the system will be revalidated. Fix this by generalizing the generation count invalidation scheme used by ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 3) When repairing TCP sockets, we need to allow to restore not just the send window scale, but the receive one too. Extend the existing interface to achieve this in a backwards compatible way. From Andrey Vagin. 4) A fix for FCOE scatter gather feature validation erroneously caused scatter gather to be disabled for things like AOE too. From Ed L Cashin. 5) Several cases of mishandling of error pointers, from Mathias Krause, Wei Yongjun, and Devendra Naga. 6) Fix gianfar build, from Richard Cochran. 7) CAP_NET_* failures should return -EPERM not -EACCES, from Zhao Hongjiang. 8) Hardware reset fix in janz-ican3 CAN driver, from Ira W Snyder. 9) Fix oops during rmmod in ti_hecc CAN driver, from Marc Kleine-Budde. 10) The removal of the conditional compilation of the clk support code in the stmmac driver broke things. This is because the interfaces used are the ones that don't also perform the enable/disable of the clk. Fix from Stefan Roese. 11) The QFQ packet scheduler can record out of range virtual start times, resulting later in misbehavior and even crashes. Fix from Paolo Valente. 12) If MSG_WAITALL is used with IOAT DMA under TCP, we can wedge the receiver when the advertised receive window goes to zero. Detect this case and force the processing of the IOAT DMA queue when it happens to avoid getting stuck. Fix from Michal Kubecek. 13) batman-adv assumes that test_bit() returns only 0 or 1, but this is not true for x86 (which returns -1 or 0, via the 'sbb' instruction). Fix from Linus Lussing. 14) Fix small packet corruption in e1000, from Tushar Dave. 15) make_blackhole() in the IPSEC policy code can do one read unlock too many, fix from Li RongQing. 16) The new tcp_try_coalesce() code introduced a bug in TCP URG handling, fix from Eric Dumazet. 17) Fix memory leak in __netif_receive_skb() when doing zerocopy and when hit an OOM condition. From Michael S Tsirkin. 18) netxen blindly deferences pdev->bus->self, which is not guarenteed to be non-NULL. Fix from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 19) Fix a performance regression caused by mistakes in ipv6 checksum validation in the bnx2x driver, fix from Michal Schmidt. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (45 commits) net/stmmac: Use clk_prepare_enable and clk_disable_unprepare net: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM net/irda: sh_sir: fix return value check in sh_sir_set_baudrate() stmmac: fix return value check in stmmac_open_ext_timer() gianfar: fix phc index build failure ipv6: fix return value check in fib6_add() bnx2x: remove false warning regarding interrupt number can: ti_hecc: fix oops during rmmod can: janz-ican3: fix support for older hardware revisions net: do not disable sg for packets requiring no checksum aoe: assert AoE packets marked as requiring no checksum at91ether: return PTR_ERR if call to clk_get fails xfrm_user: don't copy esn replay window twice for new states xfrm_user: ensure user supplied esn replay window is valid xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_tmpl() xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_policy() xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_state() xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_auth() net: qmi_wwan: adding Huawei E367, ZTE MF683 and Pantech P4200 tcp: restore rcv_wscale in a repair mode (v2) ...

2012-09-19ipv6: unify conntrack reassembly expire code with standard oneAmerigo Wang
Two years ago, Shan Wei tried to fix this: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/43905/ The problem is that RFC2460 requires an ICMP Time Exceeded -- Fragment Reassembly Time Exceeded message should be sent to the source of that fragment, if the defragmentation times out. " If insufficient fragments are received to complete reassembly of a packet within 60 seconds of the reception of the first-arriving fragment of that packet, reassembly of that packet must be abandoned and all the fragments that have been received for that packet must be discarded. If the first fragment (i.e., the one with a Fragment Offset of zero) has been received, an ICMP Time Exceeded -- Fragment Reassembly Time Exceeded message should be sent to the source of that fragment. " As Herbert suggested, we could actually use the standard IPv6 reassembly code which follows RFC2460. With this patch applied, I can see ICMP Time Exceeded sent from the receiver when the sender sent out 3/4 fragmented IPv6 UDP packet.

2012-09-18ipv6: use net->rt_genid to check dst validityNicolas Dichtel
IPv6 dst should take care of rt_genid too. When a xfrm policy is inserted or deleted, all dst should be invalidated. To force the validation, dst entries should be created with ->obsolete set to DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK. This was already the case for all functions calling ip6_dst_alloc(), except for ip6_rt_copy(). As a consequence, we can remove the specific code in inet6_connection_sock. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit c76562b6709f ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock") accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an unsigned int. This changes the semantics of the comparison in the return statement. In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but "size" is a signed integer. In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway. Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly the same.
