2011-01-29gro: Reset dev pointer on reuseHerbert Xu
On older kernels the VLAN code may zero skb->dev before dropping it and causing it to be reused by GRO. Unfortunately we didn't reset skb->dev in that case which causes the next GRO user to get a bogus skb->dev pointer. This particular problem no longer happens with the current upstream kernel due to changes in VLAN processing. However, for correctness we should still reset the skb->dev pointer in the GRO reuse function in case a future user does the same thing.

2011-01-27ipv6: Remove route peer binding assertions.David S. Miller
They are bogus. The basic idea is that I wanted to make sure that prefixed routes never bind to peers. The test I used was whether RTF_CACHE was set. But first of all, the RTF_CACHE flag is set at different spots depending upon which ip6_rt_copy() caller you're talking about. I've validated all of the code paths, and even in the future where we bind peers more aggressively (for route metric COW'ing) we never bind to prefix'd routes, only fully specified ones. This even applies when addrconf or icmp6 routes are allocated. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

I'm testing an API that uses IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute.

2011-01-27xen: netfront: handle incoming GSO SKBs which are not CHECKSUM_PARTIALIan Campbell
The Linux network stack expects all GSO SKBs to have ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which implies that the frame contains a partial checksum) and the Xen network ring protocol similarly expects an SKB which has GSO set to also have NETRX_csum_blank (which also implies a partial checksum). However there have been cases of buggy guests which mark a frame as GSO but do not set csum_blank. If we detect that we a receiving such a frame (which manifests as ip_summed != PARTIAL && skb_is_gso) then force the SKB to partial and recalculate the checksum, since we cannot rely on the peer having done so if they have not set csum_blank. Add an ethtool stat to track occurances of this event.

2011-01-25TCP: fix a bug that triggers large number of TCP RST by mistakeJerry Chu
This patch fixes a bug that causes TCP RST packets to be generated on otherwise correctly behaved applications, e.g., no unread data on close,..., etc. To trigger the bug, at least two conditions must be met: 1. The FIN flag is set on the last data packet, i.e., it's not on a separate, FIN only packet. 2. The size of the last data chunk on the receive side matches exactly with the size of buffer posted by the receiver, and the receiver closes the socket without any further read attempt. This bug was first noticed on our netperf based testbed for our IW10 proposal to IETF where a large number of RST packets were observed. netperf's read side code meets the condition 2 above 100%. Before the fix, tcp_data_queue() will queue the last skb that meets condition 1 to sk_receive_queue even though it has fully copied out (skb_copy_datagram_iovec()) the data. Then if condition 2 is also met, tcp_recvmsg() often returns all the copied out data successfully without actually consuming the skb, due to a check "if ((chunk = len - tp->ucopy.len) != 0) {" and "len -= chunk;" after tcp_prequeue_process() that causes "len" to become 0 and an early exit from the big while loop. I don't see any reason not to free the skb whose data have been fully consumed in tcp_data_queue(), regardless of the FIN flag. We won't get there if MSG_PEEK is on. Am I missing some arcane cases related to urgent data? Signed-off-by: H.K. Jerry Chu <hkchu@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-01-24GRO: fix merging a paged skb after non-paged skbsMichal Schmidt
Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[]. Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb: ->data_len is not decreased at all. ->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag. Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return -EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall. In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver decides to switch from the former to the latter. Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat: - on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null - on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero - on machine1: echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use skbs echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use pages - See that nc has quit suddenly.

2011-01-24sched: Fix poor interactivity on UP systems due to group scheduler nice tune bugYong Zhang
Michael Witten and Christian Kujau reported that the autogroup scheduling feature hurts interactivity on their UP systems. It turns out that this is an older bug in the group scheduling code, and the wider appeal provided by the autogroup feature exposed it more prominently. When on UP with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled, tune shares only affect tg->shares, but is not reflected in tg->se->load. The reason is that update_cfs_shares() does nothing on UP. So introduce update_cfs_shares() for UP && FAIR_GROUP_SCHED. This issue was found when enable autogroup scheduling was enabled, but it is an older bug that also exists on cgroup.cpu on UP.

2011-01-24Remove MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ONRusty Russell
Now BUILD_BUG_ON() can handle optimizable constants, we don't need MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON any more. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2011-01-24BUILD_BUG_ON: make it handle more casesRusty Russell
BUILD_BUG_ON used to use the optimizer to do code elimination or fail at link time; it was changed to first the size of a negative array (a nicer compile time error), then (in 8c87df457cb58fe75b9b893007917cf8095660a0) to a bitfield. This forced us to change some non-constant cases to MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON(); as Jan points out in that commit, it didn't work as intended anyway. bitfields: needs a literal constant at parse time, and can't be put under "if (__builtin_constant_p(x))" for example. negative array: can handle anything, but if the compiler can't tell it's a constant, silently has no effect. link time: breaks link if the compiler can't determine the value, but the linker output is not usually as informative as a compiler error. If we use the negative-array-size method *and* the link time trick, we get the ability to use BUILD_BUG_ON() under __builtin_constant_p() branches, and maximal ability for the compiler to detect errors at build time. We also document it thoroughly. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com>
2011-01-24module: fix missing semicolons in MODULE macro usageRusty Russell
You always needed them when you were a module, but the builtin versions of the macros used to be more lenient. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2011-01-24param: add null statement to compiled-in module paramsLinus Walleij
Add an unused struct declaration statement requiring a terminating semicolon to the compile-in case to provoke an error if __MODULE_INFO() is used without the terminating semicolon. Previously MODULE_ALIAS("foo") (no semicolon) compiled fine if MODULE was not selected.

lib/built-in.o:(__modver+0x8): undefined reference to `__modver_version_show' lib/built-in.o:(__modver+0x2c): undefined reference to `__modver_version_show' Simplest to just not emit anything: if they've disabled SYSFS they probably want the smallest kernel possible.
