* Revert "tcp: Set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in tcp_init_nondata_skb"David S. Miller2010-04-111-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 2626419ad5be1a054d350786b684b41d23de1538. It causes regressions for people with IGB cards. Connection requests don't complete etc. The true cause of the issue is still not known, but we should sort this out in net-next-2.6 not net-2.6 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tcp: Set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in tcp_init_nondata_skbDavid S. Miller2010-04-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back in commit 04a0551c87363f100b04d28d7a15a632b70e18e7 ("loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed setting") we stopped setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in the loopback xmit. This is because such a setting was a lie since it implies that the checksum field of the packet is properly filled in. Instead what happens normally is that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set and skb->csum is calculated as needed. But this was only happening for TCP data packets (via the skb->ip_summed assignment done in tcp_sendmsg()). It doesn't happen for non-data packets like ACKs etc. Fix this by setting skb->ip_summed in the common non-data packet constructor. It already is setting skb->csum to zero. But this reminds us that we still have things like ip_output.c's ip_dev_loopback_xmit() which sets skb->ip_summed to the value CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which Herbert's patch teaches us is not valid. So we'll have to address that at some point too. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* udp: fix for unicast RX path optimizationJorge Boncompte [DTI2]2010-04-082-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 5051ebd275de672b807c28d93002c2fb0514a3c9 and 5051ebd275de672b807c28d93002c2fb0514a3c9 ("ipv[46]: udp: optimize unicast RX path") broke some programs. After upgrading a L2TP server to 2.6.33 it started to fail, tunnels going up an down, after the 10th tunnel came up. My modified rp-l2tp uses a global unconnected socket bound to (INADDR_ANY, 1701) and one connected socket per tunnel after parameter negotiation. After ten sockets were open and due to mixed parameters to udp[46]_lib_lookup2() kernel started to drop packets.

* x.25 attempts to negotiate invalid throughputJohn Hughes2010-04-072-7/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current X.25 code has some bugs in throughput negotiation: 1. It does negotiation in all cases, usually there is no need 2. It incorrectly attempts to negotiate the throughput class in one direction only. There are separate throughput classes for input and output and if either is negotiated both mist be negotiates. This is bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15681 This bug was first reported by Daniel Ferenci to the linux-x25 mailing list on 6/8/2004, but is still present. The current (2.6.34) x.25 code doesn't seem to know that the X.25 throughput facility includes two values, one for the required throughput outbound, one for inbound. This causes it to attempt to negotiate throughput 0x0A, which is throughput 9600 inbound and the illegal value "0" for inbound throughput. Because of this some X.25 devices (e.g. Cisco 1600) refuse to connect to Linux X.25. The following patch fixes this behaviour. Unless the user specifies a required throughput it does not attempt to negotiate. If the user does not specify a throughput it accepts the suggestion of the remote X.25 system. If the user requests a throughput then it validates both the input and output throughputs and correctly negotiates them with the remote end.

| * mac80211: move netdev queue enabling to correct spotJohannes Berg2010-03-302-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must only enable the netdev queues once all the pending packets have been processed and sent off to the device. In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when aggregation is being enabled.

Setup is as follows MTU1 MTU2 MTU1 A--------B------C------D with MTU1 > MTU2. A and D are endpoints, B and C are routers. B and C implement PMTU and drop packets larger than MTU2 (for example because DF is set on all packets). TCP sessions are initiated between A and D. There is packet loss between A and D, causing frequent TCP retransmits. After the number of retransmits on a TCP session reaches tcp_retries1, tcp calls dst_negative_advice() prior to each retransmit. This results in route cache entries for the peer to be deleted in ipv4_negative_advice() if the Path MTU is set. If the outstanding data on an affected TCP session is larger than MTU2, packets sent from the endpoints will be dropped by B or C, and ICMP NEEDFRAG will be returned. A and D receive NEEDFRAG messages and update PMTU. Before the next retransmit, tcp will again call dst_negative_advice(), causing the route cache entry (with correct PMTU) to be deleted. The retransmitted packet will be larger than MTU2, causing it to be dropped again. This sequence repeats until the TCP session aborts or is terminated. Problem is fixed by removing redirected route cache entries in ipv4_negative_advice() only if the PMTU is expired. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | * | | Bluetooth: Convert debug files to actually use debugfs instead of sysfsMarcel Holtmann2010-03-215-87/+113
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the debug files ended up wrongly in sysfs, because at that point of time, debugfs didn't exist. Convert these files to use debugfs and also seq_file. This patch converts all of these files at once and then removes the exported symbol for the Bluetooth sysfs class.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, ENOBUFS errors are reported to the socket via netlink_set_err() even if NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS is set. However, that should not happen. This fixes this problem and it changes the prototype of netlink_set_err() to return the number of sockets that have set the NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS socket option. This return value is used in the next patch in these bugfix series. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under NET_DMA, data transfer can grind to a halt when userland issues a large read on a socket with a high RCVLOWAT (i.e., 512 KB for both). This appears to be because the NET_DMA design queues up lots of memcpy operations, but doesn't issue or wait for them (and thus free the associated skbs) until it is time for tcp_recvmesg() to return. The socket hangs when its TCP window goes to zero before enough data is available to satisfy the read. Periodically issue asynchronous memcpy operations, and free skbs for ones that have completed, to prevent sockets from going into zero-window mode. Signed-off-by: Steven J.

The only way to renew xfrm_dst when the underlying route has changed, is to implement dst_check for this. This is what ipv6 side does too. The problems started after 87c1e12b5eeb7b30b4b41291bef8e0b41fc3dde9 ("ipsec: Fix bogus bundle flowi") which fixed a bug causing xfrm_dst to not get reused, until that all lookups always generated new xfrm_dst with new route reference and path mtu worked. But after the fix, the old routes started to get reused even after they were expired causing pmtu to break (well it would occationally work if the rtable gc had run recently and marked the route obsolete causing dst_check to get called).
