2015-11-24ipv6: distinguish frag queues by device for multicast and link-local packetsMichal Kubeček
If a fragmented multicast packet is received on an ethernet device which has an active macvlan on top of it, each fragment is duplicated and received both on the underlying device and the macvlan. If some fragments for macvlan are processed before the whole packet for the underlying device is reassembled, the "overlapping fragments" test in ip6_frag_queue() discards the whole fragment queue. To resolve this, add device ifindex to the search key and require it to match reassembling multicast packets and packets to link-local addresses. Note: similar patch has been already submitted by Yoshifuji Hideaki in http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/220979/ but got lost and forgotten for some reason.

2015-11-02net: fix percpu memory leaksEric Dumazet
This patch fixes following problems : 1) percpu_counter_init() can return an error, therefore init_frag_mem_limit() must propagate this error so that inet_frags_init_net() can do the same up to its callers. 2) If ip[46]_frags_ns_ctl_register() fail, we must unwind properly and free the percpu_counter. Without this fix, we leave freed object in percpu_counters global list (if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) leading to crashes.

2015-07-26inet: frags: remove INET_FRAG_EVICTED and use list_evictor for the testNikolay Aleksandrov
We can simply remove the INET_FRAG_EVICTED flag to avoid all the flags race conditions with the evictor and use a participation test for the evictor list, when we're at that point (after inet_frag_kill) in the timer there're 2 possible cases: 1. The evictor added the entry to its evictor list while the timer was waiting for the chainlock or 2. The timer unchained the entry and the evictor won't see it In both cases we should be able to see list_evictor correctly due to the sync on the chainlock. Joint work with Florian Westphal.

2014-07-27inet: frag: set limits and make init_net's high_thresh limit globalNikolay Aleksandrov
This patch makes init_net's high_thresh limit to be the maximum for all namespaces, thus introducing a global memory limit threshold equal to the sum of the individual high_thresh limits which are capped. It also introduces some sane minimums for low_thresh as it shouldn't be able to drop below 0 (or > high_thresh in the unsigned case), and overall low_thresh should not ever be above high_thresh, so we make the following relations for a namespace: init_net: high_thresh - max(not capped), min(init_net low_thresh) low_thresh - max(init_net high_thresh), min (0) all other namespaces: high_thresh = max(init_net high_thresh), min(namespace's low_thresh) low_thresh = max(namespace's high_thresh), min(0) The major issue with having low_thresh > high_thresh is that we'll schedule eviction but never evict anything and thus rely only on the timers.

2014-07-27inet: frag: move eviction of queues to work queueFlorian Westphal
When the high_thresh limit is reached we try to toss the 'oldest' incomplete fragment queues until memory limits are below the low_thresh value. This happens in softirq/packet processing context. This has two drawbacks: 1) processors might evict a queue that was about to be completed by another cpu, because they will compete wrt. resource usage and resource reclaim. 2) LRU list maintenance is expensive. But when constantly overloaded, even the 'least recently used' element is recent, so removing 'lru' queue first is not 'fairer' than removing any other fragment queue. This moves eviction out of the fast path: When the low threshold is reached, a work queue is scheduled which then iterates over the table and removes the queues that exceed the memory limits of the namespace. It sets a new flag called INET_FRAG_EVICTED on the evicted queues so the proper counters will get incremented when the queue is forcefully expired. When the high threshold is reached, no more fragment queues are created until we're below the limit again. The LRU list is now unused and will be removed in a followup patch.

2013-04-17net: drop dst before queueing fragmentsEric Dumazet
Commit 4a94445c9a5c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path) added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, as non refcounted dst could escape an RCU protected section. Commit 64f3b9e203bd068 (net: ip_expire() must revalidate route) fixed the case of timeouts, but not the general problem. Tom Parkin noticed crashes in UDP stack and provided a patch, but further analysis permitted us to pinpoint the root cause. Before queueing a packet into a frag list, we must drop its dst, as this dst has limited lifetime (RCU protected) When/if a packet is finally reassembled, we use the dst of the very last skb, still protected by RCU and valid, as the dst of the reassembled packet. Use same logic in IPv6, as there is no need to hold dst references.

2013-03-19inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket listsHannes Frederic Sowa
This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu. If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed. This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish between the different users of inet_fragment.c. I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path, because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

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.

2012-04-20net: Kill register_sysctl_rotableEric W. Biederman
register_sysctl_rotable never caught on as an interesting way to register sysctls. My take on the situation is that what we want are sysctls that we can only see in the initial network namespace. What we have implemented with register_sysctl_rotable are sysctls that we can see in all of the network namespaces and can only change in the initial network namespace. That is a very silly way to go. Just register the network sysctls in the initial network namespace and we don't have any weird special cases to deal with. The sysctls affected are: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_secret_interval /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_max_dist /proc/sys/net/ipv6/ip6frag_secret_interval /proc/sys/net/ipv6/mld_max_msf I really don't expect anyone will miss them if they can't read them in a child user namespace.
