* net: Fix soft lockups/OOM issues w/ unix garbage collectordann frazier2008-11-262-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201 It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of wait_event_interruptible(). Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg() block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes. Signed-off-by: dann frazier <dannf@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | rose: zero length frame filtering in af_rose.cBernard Pidoux2008-11-251-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since changeset e79ad711a0108475c1b3a03815527e7237020b08 from mainline, >From David S. Miller, empty packet can be transmitted on connected socket for datagram protocols. However, this patch broke a high level application using ROSE network protocol with connected datagram. Bulletin Board Stations perform bulletins forwarding between BBS stations via ROSE network using a forward protocol. Now, if for some reason, a buffer in the application software happens to be empty at a specific moment, ROSE sends an empty packet via unfiltered packet socket. When received, this ROSE packet introduces perturbations of data exchange of BBS forwarding, for the application message forwarding protocol is waiting for something else. We agree that a more careful programming of the application protocol would avoid this situation and we are willing to debug it. But, as an empty frame is no use and does not have any meaning for ROSE protocol, we may consider filtering zero length data both when sending and receiving socket data. The proposed patch repaired BBS data exchange through ROSE network that were broken since 2.6.22.11 kernel. Signed-off-by: Bernard Pidoux <f6bvp@amsat.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent dataPetr Tesarik2008-11-211-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12014 Since most (if not all) implementations of TSO and even the in-kernel software GSO do not update the urgent pointer when splitting a large segment, it is necessary to turn off TSO/GSO for all outgoing traffic with the URG pointer set. Looking at tcp_current_mss (and the preceding comment) I even think this was the original intention. However, this approach is insufficient, because TSO/GSO is turned off only for newly created frames, not for frames which were already pending at the arrival of a message with MSG_OOB set. These frames were created when TSO/GSO was enabled, so they may be large, and they will have the urgent pointer set in tcp_transmit_skb(). With this patch, such large packets will be fragmented again before going to the transmit routine. As a side note, at least the following NICs are known to screw up the urgent pointer in the TCP header when doing TSO: Intel 82566MM (PCI ID 8086:1049) Intel 82566DC (PCI ID 8086:104b) Intel 82541GI (PCI ID 8086:1076) Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 (PCI ID 14e4:164c) Signed-off-by: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.

* SUNRPC: Fix a performance regression in the RPC authentication codeTrond Myklebust2008-11-201-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a regression reported by Max Kellermann whereby kernel profiling showed that his clients were spending 45% of their time in rpcauth_lookup_credcache. It turns out that although his processes had identical uid/gid/groups, generic_match() was failing to detect this, because the task->group_info pointers were not shared. This again lead to the creation of a huge number of identical credentials at the RPC layer. The regression is fixed by comparing the contents of task->group_info if the actual pointers are not identical.

| | * mac80211: remove ieee80211_notify_macJohannes Berg2008-11-181-22/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset. Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good enough" suspend/resume. Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless. Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping functions within the critical section, and now because it's called by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl because it is flushed under rtnl. (cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046) I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly. For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation, while the suspend operation must be done directly. Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is available and requested.

The addition of this system call matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(), inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags argument that can be used to access additional functionality. The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that it adds a flags bit-mask argument. Two flags are initially implemented. (Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.) SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled for the new file descriptor returned by accept4(). This is a useful security feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded program where one thread is doing an accept() at the same time as another thread is doing a fork() plus exec(). More details here: http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor Handling", Ulrich Drepper). The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag to be enabled on the new open file description created by accept4(). (This flag is merely a convenience, saving the use of additional calls fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to achieve the same result. Here's a test program. Works on x86-32. Should work on x86-64, but I (mtk) don't have a system to hand to test with. It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies that the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file description returned by accept4(). I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2, and it passes according to my test program. /* test_accept4.c Copyright (C) 2008, Linux Foundation, written by Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Licensed under the GNU GPLv2 or later. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #define PORT_NUM 33333 #define die(msg) do { perror(msg); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } while (0) /**********************************************************************/ /* The following is what we need until glibc gets a wrapper for accept4() */ /* Flags for socket(), socketpair(), accept4() */ #ifndef SOCK_CLOEXEC #define SOCK_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC #endif #ifndef SOCK_NONBLOCK #define SOCK_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK #endif #ifdef __x86_64__ #define SYS_accept4 288 #elif __i386__ #define USE_SOCKETCALL 1 #define SYS_ACCEPT4 18 #else #error "Sorry -- don't know the syscall # on this architecture" #endif static int accept4(int fd, struct sockaddr *sockaddr, socklen_t *addrlen, int flags) { printf("Calling accept4(): flags = %x", flags); if (flags != 0) { printf(" ("); if (flags & SOCK_CLOEXEC) printf("SOCK_CLOEXEC"); if ((flags & SOCK_CLOEXEC) && (flags & SOCK_NONBLOCK)) printf(" "); if (flags & SOCK_NONBLOCK) printf("SOCK_NONBLOCK"); printf(")"); } printf("\n"); #if USE_SOCKETCALL long args[6]; args[0] = fd; args[1] = (long) sockaddr; args[2] = (long) addrlen; args[3] = flags; return syscall(SYS_socketcall, SYS_ACCEPT4, args); #else return syscall(SYS_accept4, fd, sockaddr, addrlen, flags); #endif } /**********************************************************************/ static int do_test(int lfd, struct sockaddr_in *conn_addr, int closeonexec_flag, int nonblock_flag) { int connfd, acceptfd; int fdf, flf, fdf_pass, flf_pass; struct sockaddr_in claddr; socklen_t addrlen; printf("=======================================\n"); connfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); if (connfd == -1) die("socket"); if (connect(connfd, (struct sockaddr *) conn_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)) == -1) die("connect"); addrlen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in); acceptfd = accept4(lfd, (struct sockaddr *) &claddr, &addrlen, closeonexec_flag | nonblock_flag); if (acceptfd == -1) { perror("accept4()"); close(connfd); return 0; } fdf = fcntl(acceptfd, F_GETFD); if (fdf == -1) die("fcntl:F_GETFD"); fdf_pass = ((fdf & FD_CLOEXEC) != 0) == ((closeonexec_flag & SOCK_CLOEXEC) != 0); printf("Close-on-exec flag is %sset (%s); ", (fdf & FD_CLOEXEC) ?

In function scm_fp_dup(), the INIT_LIST_HEAD(&fpl->list) of newly created fpl is done *before* the subsequent memcpy from the old structure and thus the freshly initialized list is overwritten. But that's OK, since this initialization is not required at all, since the fpl->list is list_add-ed at the destruction time in any case (and is unused in other code), so I propose to drop both initializations, rather than moving it after the memcpy. Please, correct me if I miss something significant. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* ipv6: routing header fixesBrian Haley2008-11-122-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes two bugs: 1. setsockopt() of anything but a Type 2 routing header should return EINVAL instead of EPERM. Noticed by Shan Wei (shanwei@cn.fujitsu.com). 2. setsockopt()/sendmsg() of a Type 2 routing header with invalid length or segments should return EINVAL. These values are statically fixed in RFC 3775, unlike the variable Type 0 was. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | tcp_htcp: last_cong bug fixDoug Leith2008-11-121-4/+10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a minor bug in tcp_htcp.c which has been highlighted by Lachlan Andrew and Lawrence Stewart. Currently, the time since the last congestion event, which is stored in variable last_cong, is reset whenever there is a state change into TCP_CA_Open. This includes transitions of the type TCP_CA_Open->TCP_CA_Disorder->TCP_CA_Open which are not associated with backoff of cwnd. The patch changes last_cong to be updated only on transitions into TCP_CA_Open that occur after experiencing the congestion-related states TCP_CA_Loss, TCP_CA_Recovery, TCP_CA_CWR.

| * dsa: fix master interface allmulti/promisc handlingLennert Buytenhek2008-11-101-2/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before commit b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7 ("net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP"), the dsa driver could sort-of get away with only fiddling with the master interface's allmulti/promisc counts in ->change_rx_flags() and not touching them in ->open() or ->stop(). After this commit (note that it was merged almost simultaneously with the dsa patches, which is why this wasn't caught initially), the breakage that was already there became more apparent. Since it makes no sense to keep the master interface's allmulti or promisc count pinned for a slave interface that is down, copy the vlan driver's sync logic (which does exactly what we want) over to dsa to fix this.

* | net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collectorMiklos Szeredi2008-11-092-19/+61
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file descriptors referring to it. This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the "inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs < inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run. Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.
