2012-07-29ipv6: fix incorrect route 'expires' value passed to userspaceLi Wei
When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with an already expired route entry, we always got an 'expires' value(2147157) calculated base on INT_MAX. The reason of this problem is in the following satement: rt->dst.expires - jiffies < INT_MAX gcc promoted the type of both sides of '<' to unsigned long, thus a small negative value would be considered greater than INT_MAX. With the help of Eric Dumazet, do the out of bound checks in rtnl_put_cacheinfo(), _after_ conversion to clock_t. Signed-off-by: Li Wei <lw@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-07-27net: fix rtnetlink IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI handlingJiri Benc
When device flags are set using rtnetlink, IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI flags are handled specially. Function dev_change_flags sets IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI bits in dev->gflags according to the passed value but do_setlink passes a result of rtnl_dev_combine_flags which takes those bits from dev->flags. This can be easily trigerred by doing: tcpdump -i eth0 & ip l s up eth0 ip sets IFF_UP flag in ifi_flags and ifi_change, which is combined with IFF_PROMISC by rtnl_dev_combine_flags, causing __dev_change_flags to set IFF_PROMISC in gflags.

Pull networking changes from David S Miller: 1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB trie and use prebuilt routes cached there. No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance, no matter what the pattern of traffic we service. This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who have helped along the way. I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to fix things :-) The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description of the motivations and implementation issues. 2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on input. 3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet. 4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao Feng. 5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from Yuval Mintz. 6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet. 7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver, from Jiri Pirko. 9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with embedded gotos. 10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels, this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments, from Alexander Duyck. 12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from Eric Dumazet. 13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng. Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up fastopen data. 14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro: "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there: - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open intents. The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing everything via its fields. Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0 on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink found on server, etc.). See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile: ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag. With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle, declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c itself. [me, miklos, hch] - The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep in call stack. That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there. Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore. There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace. For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there might be more. There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last cycle] - sync series from Jan - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand, those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread calling it. - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells). - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual. This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes, so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.

The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks. The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing cache's design were considered. What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a product of the contents of the routing tables. The former of which is controllable by external entitites. Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10. The general flow of this patch series is that first the routing cache is removed. We build a completely new rtable entry every lookup request. Next we make some simplifications due to the fact that removing the routing cache causes several members of struct rtable to become no longer necessary. Then we need to make some amends such that we can legally cache pre-constructed routes in the FIB nexthops. Firstly, we need to invalidate routes which are hit with nexthop exceptions. Secondly we have to change the semantics of rt->rt_gateway such that zero means that the destination is on-link and non-zero otherwise. Now that the preparations are ready, we start caching precomputed routes in the FIB nexthops. Output and input routes need different kinds of care when determining if we can legally do such caching or not. The details are in the commit log messages for those changes. The patch series then winds down with some more struct rtable simplifications and other tidy ups that remove unnecessary overhead. On a SPARC-T3 output route lookups are ~876 cycles. Input route lookups are ~1169 cycles with rpfilter disabled, and about ~1468 cycles with rpfilter enabled. These measurements were taken with the kbench_mod test module in the net_test_tools GIT tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net_test_tools.git That GIT tree also includes a udpflood tester tool and stresses route lookups on packet output. For example, on the same SPARC-T3 system we can run: time ./udpflood -l 10000000 10.2.2.11 with routing cache: real 1m21.955s user 0m6.530s sys 1m15.390s without routing cache: real 1m31.678s user 0m6.520s sys 1m25.140s Performance undoubtedly can easily be improved further. For example fib_table_lookup() performs a lot of excessive computations with all the masking and shifting, some of it conditionalized to deal with edge cases. Also, Eric's no-ref optimization for input route lookups can be re-instated for the FIB nexthop caching code path. I would be really pleased if someone would work on that. In fact anyone suitable motivated can just fire up perf on the loading of the test net_test_tools benchmark kernel module. I spend much of my time going: bash# perf record insmod ./kbench_mod.ko dst=172.30.42.22 src=74.128.0.1 iif=2 bash# perf report Thanks to helpful feedback from Joe Perches, Eric Dumazet, Ben Hutchings, and others.

2012-07-22net: netprio_cgroup: rework update socket logicJohn Fastabend
Instead of updating the sk_cgrp_prioidx struct field on every send this only updates the field when a task is moved via cgroup infrastructure. This allows sockets that may be used by a kernel worker thread to be managed. For example in the iscsi case today a user can put iscsid in a netprio cgroup and control traffic will be sent with the correct sk_cgrp_prioidx value set but as soon as data is sent the kernel worker thread isssues a send and sk_cgrp_prioidx is updated with the kernel worker threads value which is the default case. It seems more correct to only update the field when the user explicitly sets it via control group infrastructure. This allows the users to manage sockets that may be used with other threads.

there are some out of bound accesses in netprio cgroup. now before accessing the dev->priomap.priomap array,we only check if the dev->priomap exist.and because we don't want to see additional bound checkings in fast path, so we should make sure that dev->priomap is null or array size of dev->priomap.priomap is equal to max_prioidx + 1; so in write_priomap logic,we should call extend_netdev_table when dev->priomap is null and dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len. and in cgrp_create->update_netdev_tables logic,we should call extend_netdev_table only when dev->priomap exist and dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len. and it's not needed to call update_netdev_tables in write_priomap, we can only allocate the net device's priomap which we change through net_prio.ifpriomap. this patch also add a return value for update_netdev_tables & extend_netdev_table, so when new_priomap is allocated failed, write_priomap will stop to access the priomap,and return -ENOMEM back to the userspace to tell the user what happend. Change From v3: 1. add rtnl protect when reading max_prioidx in write_priomap. 2. only call extend_netdev_table when map->priomap_len < max_len, this will make sure array size of dev->map->priomap always bigger than any prioidx. 3. add a function write_update_netdev_table to make codes clear. Change From v2: 1. protect extend_netdev_table by RTNL. 2. when extend_netdev_table failed,call dev_put to reduce device's refcount.

This patch is meant to help improve performance by reducing the number of locked operations required to allocate a frag on x86 and other platforms. This is accomplished by using atomic_set operations on the page count instead of calling get_page and put_page. It is based on work originally provided by Eric Dumazet. In addition it also helps to reduce memory overhead when using TCP. This is done by recycling the page if the only holder of the frame is the netdev_alloc_frag call itself. This can occur when skb heads are stolen by either GRO or TCP and the driver providing the packets is using paged frags to store all of the data for the packets.

2012-07-11tcp: TCP Small QueuesEric Dumazet
This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues) TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc & device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat problem. sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit, allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a given time. TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use. As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets. This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the already queued skbs. Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive, using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO. Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering per bulk sender : < 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO) < 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms) I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes. As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one tasklest per cpu for performance reasons. If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag. This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(), to eventually send new segments. [1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable [2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time, but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler. These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will have no effect.

2012-07-09net: cgroup: fix out of bounds accessesEric Dumazet
dev->priomap is allocated by extend_netdev_table() called from update_netdev_tables(). And this is only called if write_priomap() is called. But if write_priomap() is not called, it seems we can have out of bounds accesses in cgrp_destroy(), read_priomap() & skb_update_prio() With help from Gao Feng Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Cc: Gao feng <gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Gao feng <gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-07-09cgroup: fix panic in netprio_cgroupGao feng
we set max_prioidx to the first zero bit index of prioidx_map in function get_prioidx. So when we delete the low index netprio cgroup and adding a new netprio cgroup again,the max_prioidx will be set to the low index. when we set the high index cgroup's net_prio.ifpriomap,the function write_priomap will call update_netdev_tables to alloc memory which size is sizeof(struct netprio_map) + sizeof(u32) * (max_prioidx + 1), so the size of array that map->priomap point to is max_prioidx +1, which is low than what we actually need. fix this by adding check in get_prioidx,only set max_prioidx when max_prioidx low than the new prioidx.

2012-07-05net: Do delayed neigh confirmation.David S. Miller
When a dst_confirm() happens, mark the confirmation as pending in the dst. Then on the next packet out, when we have the neigh in-hand, do the update. This removes the dependency in dst_confirm() of dst's having an attached neigh. While we're here, remove the explicit 'dst' NULL check, all except 2 or 3 call sites ensure it's not NULL. So just fix those cases up. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-06-29netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_createPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the following structure: struct netlink_kernel_cfg { unsigned int groups; void (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb); struct mutex *cb_mutex; }; That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations for netlink kernel sockets. I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still left in the original interface. That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows easy extensibility of this interface in the future. This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

2012-06-29ipv4: Elide fib_validate_source() completely when possible.David S. Miller
If rpfilter is off (or the SKB has an IPSEC path) and there are not tclassid users, we don't have to do anything at all when fib_validate_source() is invoked besides setting the itag to zero. We monitor tclassid uses with a counter (modified only under RTNL and marked __read_mostly) and we protect the fib_validate_source() real work with a test against this counter and whether rpfilter is to be done. Having a way to know whether we need no tclassid processing or not also opens the door for future optimized rpfilter algorithms that do not perform full FIB lookups. Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-06-19ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.David S. Miller
Input packet processing for local sockets involves two major demuxes. One for the route and one for the socket. But we can optimize this down to one demux for certain kinds of local sockets. Currently we only do this for established TCP sockets, but it could at least in theory be expanded to other kinds of connections. If a TCP socket is established then it's identity is fully specified. This means that whatever input route was used during the three-way handshake must work equally well for the rest of the connection since the keys will not change. Once we move to established state, we cache the receive packet's input route to use later. Like the existing cached route in sk->sk_dst_cache used for output packets, we have to check for route invalidations using dst->obsolete and dst->ops->check(). Early demux occurs outside of a socket locked section, so when a route invalidation occurs we defer the fixup of sk->sk_rx_dst until we are actually inside of established state packet processing and thus have the socket locked.
