2010-09-21ip: fix truesize mismatch in ip fragmentationEric Dumazet
Special care should be taken when slow path is hit in ip_fragment() : When walking through frags, we transfert truesize ownership from skb to frags. Then if we hit a slow_path condition, we must undo this or risk uncharging frags->truesize twice, and in the end, having negative socket sk_wmem_alloc counter, or even freeing socket sooner than expected. Many thanks to Nick Bowler, who provided a very clean bug report and test program. Thanks to Jarek for reviewing my first patch and providing a V2 While Nick bisection pointed to commit 2b85a34e911 (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx), underlying bug is older (2.6.12-rc5) A side effect is to extend work done in commit b2722b1c3a893e (ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a socket) to ipv6 as well.

2010-09-21sunrpc: close connection when a request is irretrievably lost.NeilBrown
If we drop a request in the sunrpc layer, either due kmalloc failure, or due to a cache miss when we could not queue the request for later replay, then close the connection to encourage the client to retry sooner.

2010-09-21ipvs: changes related to service usecntJulian Anastasov
Change the usage of svc usecnt during command execution: - we check if svc is registered but we do not need to hold usecnt reference while under __ip_vs_mutex, only the packet handling needs it during scheduling - change __ip_vs_service_get to __ip_vs_service_find and __ip_vs_svc_fwm_get to __ip_vs_svc_fwm_find because now caller will increase svc->usecnt - put common code that calls update_service in __ip_vs_update_dest - put common code in ip_vs_unlink_service() and use it to unregister the service - add comment that svc should not be accessed after ip_vs_del_service anymore - all IP_VS_WAIT_WHILE calls are now unified: usecnt > 0 - Properly log the app ports As result, some problems are fixed: - possible use-after-free of svc in ip_vs_genl_set_cmd after ip_vs_del_service because our usecnt reference does not guarantee that svc is not freed on refcnt==0, eg. when no dests are moved to trash - possible usecnt leak in do_ip_vs_set_ctl after ip_vs_del_service when the service is not freed now, for example, when some destionations are moved into trash and svc->refcnt remains above 0. It is harmless because svc is not in hash anymore. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Acked-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2010-09-21netfilter: save the hash of the tuple in the original direction for latter useChangli Gao
Since we don't change the tuple in the original direction, we can save it in ct->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_REPLY].hnode.pprev for __nf_conntrack_confirm() use. __hash_conntrack() is split into two steps: hash_conntrack_raw() is used to get the raw hash, and __hash_bucket() is used to get the bucket id. In SYN-flood case, early_drop() doesn't need to recompute the hash again. Signed-off-by: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2010-09-21ipvs: make rerouting optional with snat_rerouteJulian Anastasov
Add new sysctl flag "snat_reroute". Recent kernels use ip_route_me_harder() to route LVS-NAT responses properly by VIP when there are multiple paths to client. But setups that do not have alternative default routes can skip this routing lookup by using snat_reroute=0.

2010-09-21ipvs: netfilter connection tracking changesJulian Anastasov
Add more code to IPVS to work with Netfilter connection tracking and fix some problems. - Allow IPVS to be compiled without connection tracking as in 2.6.35 and before. This can avoid keeping conntracks for all IPVS connections because this costs memory. ip_vs_ftp still depends on connection tracking and NAT as implemented for 2.6.36. - Add sysctl var "conntrack" to enable connection tracking for all IPVS connections. For loaded IPVS directors it needs tuning of nf_conntrack_max limit. - Add IP_VS_CONN_F_NFCT connection flag to request the connection to use connection tracking. This allows user space to provide this flag, for example, in dest->conn_flags. This can be useful to request connection tracking per real server instead of forcing it for all connections with the "conntrack" sysctl. This flag is set currently only by ip_vs_ftp and of course by "conntrack" sysctl. - Add ip_vs_nfct.c file to hold all connection tracking code, by this way main code should not depend of netfilter conntrack support. - Return back the ip_vs_post_routing handler as in 2.6.35 and use skb->ipvs_property=1 to allow IPVS to work without connection tracking Connection tracking: - most of the code is already in 2.6.36-rc - alter conntrack reply tuple for LVS-NAT connections when first packet from client is forwarded and conntrack state is NEW or RELATED. Additionally, alter reply for RELATED connections from real server, again for packet in original direction. - add IP_VS_XMIT_TUNNEL to confirm conntrack (without altering reply) for LVS-TUN early because we want to call nf_reset. It is needed because we add IPIP header and the original conntrack should be preserved, not destroyed. The transmitted IPIP packets can reuse same conntrack, so we do not set skb->ipvs_property. - try to destroy conntrack when the IPVS connection is destroyed. It is not fatal if conntrack disappears before that, it depends on the used timers. Fix problems from long time: - add skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE for the LVS-TUN transmitters Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-09-21dccp ccid-3: Remove redundant 'options_received' structGerrit Renker
The `options_received' struct is redundant, since it re-duplicates the existing `p' and `x_recv' fields. This patch removes the sub-struct and migrates the format conversion operations to ccid3_hc_tx_parse_options(). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2010-09-21dccp tfrc/ccid-3: computing the loss rate from the Loss Event RateGerrit Renker
This adds a function to take care of the following, separate cases occurring in the computation of the Loss Rate p: * 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5; * 1/0 is mapped into 100%, the maximum; * to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large, since this means accidentally re-entering slow-start indicated by p == 0, the minimum resolution value of p is now returned instead; * a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed: 1/0 was mapped into ~0U.

2010-09-21dccp ccid-3: remove dead statesGerrit Renker
This patch is thanks to an investigation by Leandro Sales de Melo and his colleagues. They worked out two state diagrams which highlight the fact that the xxx_TERM states in CCID-3/4 are in fact not necessary. And this can be confirmed by in turn looking at the code: the xxx_TERM states are only ever set in ccid3_hc_{rx,tx}_exit(): when CCID-3 sets the state to xxx_TERM, it is at a time where no more processing should be going on, hence it is not necessary to introduce a dedicated exit state - this is already implied by unloading the CCID.

2010-09-21dccp: Replace magic CCID-specific numbers by symbolic constantsGerrit Renker
The constants DCCPO_{MIN,MAX}_CCID_SPECIFIC are nowhere used in the code, but instead for the CCID-specific options numbers are used. This patch unifies the use of CCID-specific option numbers, by adding symbolic names reflecting the definitions in RFC 4340, 10.3. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2010-09-21dccp: Add packet type information to CCID-specific option parsingGerrit Renker
This 1. adds packet type information to ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is necessary, since table 3 in RFC 4340, 5.8 leaves it to the CCIDs to state which options may (not) appear on what packet type. 2. adds such a check for CCID-3's {Loss Event, Receive} Rate as specified in RFC 4340 8.3 ("Receive Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets") and 8.5 ("Loss Event Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets"). 3. removes an unused argument `idx' from ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is also no longer necessary, since the CCID-specific option-parsing routines are passed every single parameter of the type-length-value option encoding.

2010-09-20xfrm: Allow different selector family in temporary stateThomas Egerer
The family parameter xfrm_state_find is used to find a state matching a certain policy. This value is set to the template's family (encap_family) right before xfrm_state_find is called. The family parameter is however also used to construct a temporary state in xfrm_state_find itself which is wrong for inter-family scenarios because it produces a selector for the wrong family. Since this selector is included in the xfrm_user_acquire structure, user space programs misinterpret IPv6 addresses as IPv4 and vice versa. This patch splits up the original init_tempsel function into a part that initializes the selector respectively the props and id of the temporary state, to allow for differing ip address families whithin the state.

2010-09-20wext: fix potential private ioctl memory content leakJohannes Berg
When a driver doesn't fill the entire buffer, old heap contents may remain, and if it also doesn't update the length properly, this old heap content will be copied back to userspace. It is very unlikely that this happens in any of the drivers using private ioctls since it would show up as junk being reported by iwpriv, but it seems better to be safe here, so use kzalloc.

The last_close field of a cache_detail is initialized to zero, so the condition detail->last_close < seconds_since_boot() - 30 may be false even for a cache that was never opened. However, we want to immediately fail upcalls to caches that were never opened: in the case of the auth_unix_gid cache, especially, which may never be opened by mountd (if the --manage-gids option is not set), we want to fail the upcall immediately.

2010-09-16mac80211: send last 3/5 probe requests as unicastLuis R. Rodriguez
Some buggy APs do not respond to unicast probe requests or send unicast probe requests very delayed so in the worst case we should try to send broadcast probe requests, otherwise we can get disconnected from these APs. Even if drivers do not have filters to disregard probe responses from foreign APs mac80211 will only process probe responses from our associated AP for re-arming connection monitoring. We need to do this since the beacon monitor does not push back the connection monitor by design so even if we are getting beacons from these type of APs our connection monitor currently relies heavily on the way the probe requests are received on the AP. An example of an AP affected by this is the Nexus One, but this has also been observed with random APs. We can probably optimize this later by using null funcs instead of probe requests.
