| * net: add limit for socket backlogZhu Yi2010-03-051-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We got system OOM while running some UDP netperf testing on the loopback device. The case is multiple senders sent stream UDP packets to a single receiver via loopback on local host. Of course, the receiver is not able to handle all the packets in time. But we surprisingly found that these packets were not discarded due to the receiver's sk->sk_rcvbuf limit. Instead, they are kept queuing to sk->sk_backlog and finally ate up all the memory. We believe this is a secure hole that a none privileged user can crash the system. The root cause for this problem is, when the receiver is doing __release_sock() (i.e. after userspace recv, kernel udp_recvmsg -> skb_free_datagram_locked -> release_sock), it moves skbs from backlog to sk_receive_queue with the softirq enabled. In the above case, multiple busy senders will almost make it an endless loop. The skbs in the backlog end up eat all the system memory. The issue is not only for UDP. Any protocols using socket backlog is potentially affected. The patch adds limit for socket backlog so that the backlog size cannot be expanded endlessly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update() notification to the driver. This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver depending on stale information, defaulting to non-HT mode always. Fix this by passing the new channel type to the driver.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I merged the bundle creation code, I introduced a bogus flowi value in the bundle. Instead of getting from the caller, it was instead set to the flow in the route object, which is totally different. The end result is that the bundles we created never match, and we instead end up with an ever growing bundle list. Thanks to Jamal for find this problem.

Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

* | | | net: TCP thin linear timeoutsAndreas Petlund2010-02-181-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch will make TCP use only linear timeouts if the stream is thin. This will help to avoid the very high latencies that thin stream suffer because of exponential backoff. This mechanism is only active if enabled by iocontrol or syscontrol and the stream is identified as thin. A maximum of 6 linear timeouts is tried before exponential backoff is resumed.

These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be in a different address space and warn if accessed without going through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds. The macro and type tricks around snmp stats make things a bit interesting. DEFINE/DECLARE_SNMP_STAT() macros mark the target field as __percpu and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS() macro is updated accordingly. All snmp_mib_*() users which used to cast the argument to (void **) are updated to cast it to (void __percpu **). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stop computing the number of neighbour table settings we have by counting the number of binary sysctls. This behaviour was silly and meant that we could not add another neighbour table setting without also adding another binary sysctl. Don't pass the binary sysctl path for neighour table entries into neigh_sysctl_register. These parameters are no longer used and so are just dead code. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
