2013-01-22neigh: Keep neighbour cache entries if number of them is small enough.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明
Since we have removed NCE (Neighbour Cache Entry) reference from routing entries, the only refcnt holders of an NCE are its timer (if running) and its owner table, in usual cases. As a result, neigh_periodic_work() purges NCEs over and over again even for gateways. It does not make sense to purge entries, if number of them is very small, so keep them. The minimum number of entries to keep is specified by gc_thresh1. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-01-22net: net_cls: fd passed in SCM_RIGHTS datagram not set correctlyDaniel Wagner
Commit 6a328d8c6f03501657ad580f6f98bf9a42583ff7 changed the update logic for the socket but it does not update the SCM_RIGHTS update as well. This patch is based on the net_prio fix commit 48a87cc26c13b68f6cce4e9d769fcb17a6b3e4b8 net: netprio: fd passed in SCM_RIGHTS datagram not set correctly A socket fd passed in a SCM_RIGHTS datagram was not getting updated with the new tasks cgrp prioidx. This leaves IO on the socket tagged with the old tasks priority. To fix this add a check in the scm recvmsg path to update the sock cgrp prioidx with the new tasks value. Let's apply the same fix for net_cls. Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de> Reported-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: "Eric W.

2013-01-17sk-filter: Add ability to lock a socket filter programVincent Bernat
While a privileged program can open a raw socket, attach some restrictive filter and drop its privileges (or send the socket to an unprivileged program through some Unix socket), the filter can still be removed or modified by the unprivileged program. This commit adds a socket option to lock the filter (SO_LOCK_FILTER) preventing any modification of a socket filter program. This is similar to OpenBSD BIOCLOCK ioctl on bpf sockets, except even root is not allowed change/drop the filter. The state of the lock can be read with getsockopt(). No error is triggered if the state is not changed. -EPERM is returned when a user tries to remove the lock or to change/remove the filter while the lock is active. The check is done directly in sk_attach_filter() and sk_detach_filter() and does not affect only setsockopt() syscall. Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat <bernat@luffy.cx> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-01-10net: Rewrite netif_set_xps_queues to address several issuesAlexander Duyck
This change is meant to address several issues I found within the netif_set_xps_queues function. If the allocation of one of the maps to be assigned to new_dev_maps failed we could end up with the device map in an inconsistent state since we had already worked through a number of CPUs and removed or added the queue. To address that I split the process into several steps. The first of which is just the allocation of updated maps for CPUs that will need larger maps to store the queue. By doing this we can fail gracefully without actually altering the contents of the current device map. The second issue I found was the fact that we were always allocating a new device map even if we were not adding any queues. I have updated the code so that we only allocate a new device map if we are adding queues, otherwise if we are not adding any queues to CPUs we just skip to the removal process. The last change I made was to reuse the code from remove_xps_queue to remove the queue from the CPU. By making this change we can be consistent in how we go about adding and removing the queues from the CPUs. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-01-10net: Rewrite netif_reset_xps_queue to allow for better code reuseAlexander Duyck
This patch does a minor refactor on netif_reset_xps_queue to address a few items I noticed. First is the fact that we are doing removal of queues in both netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. Since there is no need to have the code in two places I am pushing it out into a separate function and will come back in another patch and reuse the code in netif_set_xps_queue. The second item this change addresses is the fact that the Tx queues were not getting their numa_node value cleared as a part of the XPS queue reset. This patch resolves that by resetting the numa_node value if the dev_maps value is set. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-01-10net: Add functions netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queueAlexander Duyck
This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. The main idea behind these two functions is to provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in regards to XPS. Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping. With this change I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS feature by controlling the default configuration.

2013-01-10net_sched: more precise pkt_len computationEric Dumazet
One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len doesn't represent a precise amount of bytes on wire. Headers are only accounted for the first segment. For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing, an error of 4.5 % for normal MSS value. As consequences : 1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits. 2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well. Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len computation. Packet schedulers should use qdisc pkt_len instead of skb->len for their bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they don't scratch skb->cb[] first word. Both egress and ingress paths work, thanks to commit fda55eca5a (net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()) : If GRO built a GSO packet, it also set the transport header for us.

2012-12-30net: filter: return -EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supportedDaniel Borkmann
Currently, we return -EINVAL for malformed or wrong BPF filters. However, this is not done for BPF_S_ANC* operations, which makes it more difficult to detect if it's actually supported or not by the BPF machine. Therefore, we should also return -EINVAL if K is within the SKF_AD_OFF universe and the ancillary operation did not match. Why exactly is it needed? If tools such as libpcap/tcpdump want to make use of new ancillary operations (like filtering VLAN in kernel space), there is currently no sane way to test if this feature / BPF_S_ANC* op is present or not, since no error is returned. This patch will make life easier for that and allow for a proper usage for user space applications. There was concern, if this patch will break userland. Short answer: Yes and no. Long answer: It will "break" only for code that calls ... { BPF_LD | BPF_(W|H|B) | BPF_ABS, 0, 0, <K> }, ... where <K> is in [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] _and_ <K> is *not* an ancillary. And here comes the BUT: assuming some *old* code will have such an instruction where <K> is between [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] and it doesn't know ancillary operations, then this will give a non-expected / unwanted behavior as well (since we do not return the BPF machine with 0 after a failed load_pointer(), which was the case before introducing ancillary operations, but load sth. into the accumulator instead, and continue with the next instruction, for instance). Thus, user space code would already have been broken by introducing ancillary operations into the BPF machine per se. Code that does such a direct load, e.g. "load word at packet offset 0xffffffff into accumulator" ("ld [0xffffffff]") is quite broken, isn't it? The whole assumption of ancillary operations is that no-one intentionally calls things like "ld [0xffffffff]" and expect this word to be loaded from such a packet offset. Hence, we can also safely make use of this feature testing patch and facilitate application development. Therefore, at least from this patch onwards, we have *for sure* a check whether current or in future implemented BPF_S_ANC* ops are supported in the kernel. Patch was tested on x86_64.

2012-12-21net: devnet_rename_seq should be a seqcountEric Dumazet
Using a seqlock for devnet_rename_seq is not a good idea, as device_rename() can sleep. As we hold RTNL, we dont need a protection for writers, and only need a seqcount so that readers can catch a change done by a writer.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree. Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree. Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built when any of those filesystems are enabled. Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (38 commits) proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors. proc: Fix the namespace inode permission checks. proc: Generalize proc inode allocation userns: Allow unprivilged mounts of proc and sysfs userns: For /proc/self/{uid,gid}_map derive the lower userns from the struct file procfs: Print task uids and gids in the userns that opened the proc file userns: Implement unshare of the user namespace userns: Implent proc namespace operations userns: Kill task_user_ns userns: Make create_new_namespaces take a user_ns parameter userns: Allow unprivileged use of setns. userns: Allow unprivileged users to create new namespaces userns: Allow setting a userns mapping to your current uid. userns: Allow chown and setgid preservation userns: Allow unprivileged users to create user namespaces. userns: Ignore suid and sgid on binaries if the uid or gid can not be mapped userns: fix return value on mntns_install() failure vfs: Allow unprivileged manipulation of the mount namespace. vfs: Only support slave subtrees across different user namespaces vfs: Add a user namespace reference from struct mnt_namespace ...
2012-12-14userns: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for most uses of setns.Eric W. Biederman
Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> found a nasty little bug in the permissions of setns. With unprivileged user namespaces it became possible to create new namespaces without privilege. However the setns calls were relaxed to only require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the user nameapce of the targed namespace. Which made the following nasty sequence possible. pid = clone(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS); if (pid == 0) { /* child */ system("mount --bind /home/me/passwd /etc/passwd"); } else if (pid != 0) { /* parent */ char path[PATH_MAX]; snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%u/ns/mnt"); fd = open(path, O_RDONLY); setns(fd, 0); system("su -"); } Prevent this possibility by requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the current user namespace when joing all but the user namespace.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on cgroup side. The big changes are focused on making cgroup hierarchy handling saner. - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir() path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg changes on top. - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to improve hierarchy support. - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant cgroups are frozen. - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy properly. - Various fixes and cleanups. - Two merge commits. One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be stacked on top."
