* tcp: Apply device TSO segment limit earlierBen Hutchings2012-08-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | Cache the device gso_max_segs in sock::sk_gso_max_segs and use it to limit the size of TSO skbs. This avoids the need to fall back to software GSO for local TCP senders. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tcp: fix ABC in tcp_slow_start()Eric Dumazet2012-07-201-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When/if sysctl_tcp_abc > 1, we expect to increase cwnd by 2 if the received ACK acknowledges more than 2*MSS bytes, in tcp_slow_start() Problem is this RFC 3465 statement is not correctly coded, as the while () loop increases snd_cwnd one by one.

* net: Convert printks to pr_<level>Joe Perches2012-03-111-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use a more current kernel messaging style. Convert a printk block to print_hex_dump. Coalesce formats, align arguments. Use %s, __func__ instead of embedding function names. Some messages that were prefixed with <foo>_close are now prefixed with <foo>_fini. Some ah4 and esp messages are now not prefixed with "ip ". The intent of this patch is to later add something like #define pr_fmt(fmt) "IPv4: " fmt. to standardize the output messages. Text size is trivially reduced.

* tcp: do not scale TSO segment size with reordering degreeNeal Cardwell2011-11-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 2005 (c1b4a7e69576d65efc31a8cea0714173c2841244) tcp_tso_should_defer has been using tcp_max_burst() as a target limit for deciding how large to make outgoing TSO packets when not using sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor. But since 2008 (dd9e0dda66ba38a2ddd1405ac279894260dc5c36) tcp_max_burst() returns the reordering degree. We should not have tcp_tso_should_defer attempt to build larger segments just because there is more reordering. This commit splits the notion of deferral size used in TSO from the notion of burst size used in cwnd moderation, and returns the TSO deferral limit to its original value.

* net/ipv4: Eliminate kstrdup memory leakJulia Lawall2010-08-271-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The string clone is only used as a temporary copy of the argument val within the while loop, and so it should be freed before leaving the function. The call to strsep, however, modifies clone, so a pointer to the front of the string is kept in saved_clone, to make it possible to free it. The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E; identifier l; statement S; @@ *x= \(kasprintf\|kstrdup\)(...); ... if (x == NULL) S ... when != kfree(x) when != E = x if (...) { <... when != kfree(x) * goto l; ...> * return ...; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* Networking: use CAP_NET_ADMIN when deciding to call request_moduleEric Paris2009-08-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The networking code checks CAP_SYS_MODULE before using request_module() to try to load a kernel module. While this seems reasonable it's actually weakening system security since we have to allow CAP_SYS_MODULE for things like /sbin/ip and bluetoothd which need to be able to trigger module loads. CAP_SYS_MODULE actually grants those binaries the ability to directly load any code into the kernel. We should instead be protecting modprobe and the modules on disk, rather than granting random programs the ability to load code directly into the kernel. Instead we are going to gate those networking checks on CAP_NET_ADMIN which still limits them to root but which does not grant those processes the ability to load arbitrary code into the kernel.

The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window unless we have filled, as per RFC2861. This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full with something smarter that accounts for TSO.
