2010-07-19tcp: fix crash in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queueIlpo Järvinen
It can happen that there are no packets in queue while calling tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue(). tcp_write_queue_head() then returns NULL and that gets deref'ed to get sacked into a local var. There is no work to do if no packets are outstanding so we just exit early. This oops was introduced by 08ebd1721ab8fd (tcp: remove tp->lost_out guard to make joining diff nicer).

2010-07-18IPv6: fix CoA check in RH2 input handler (mip6_rthdr_input())Arnaud Ebalard
The input handler for Type 2 Routing Header (mip6_rthdr_input()) checks if the CoA in the packet matches the CoA in the XFRM state. Current check is buggy: it compares the adddress in the Type 2 Routing Header, i.e. the HoA, against the expected CoA in the state. The comparison should be made against the address in the destination field of the IPv6 header. The bug remained unnoticed because the main (and possibly only current) user of the code (UMIP MIPv6 Daemon) initializes the XFRM state with the unspecified address, i.e. explicitly allows everything. Yoshifuji-san, can you ack that one? Signed-off-by: Arnaud Ebalard <arno@natisbad.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This was detected using two mcast router tables.

2010-07-14net: fix problem in reading sock TX queueTom Herbert
Fix problem in reading the tx_queue recorded in a socket. In dev_pick_tx, the TX queue is read by doing a check with sk_tx_queue_recorded on the socket, followed by a sk_tx_queue_get. The problem is that there is not mutual exclusion across these calls in the socket so it it is possible that the queue in the sock can be invalidated after sk_tx_queue_recorded is called so that sk_tx_queue get returns -1, which sets 65535 in queue_index and thus dev_pick_tx returns 65536 which is a bogus queue and can cause crash in dev_queue_xmit. We fix this by only calling sk_tx_queue_get which does the proper checks. The interface is that sk_tx_queue_get returns the TX queue if the sock argument is non-NULL and TX queue is recorded, else it returns -1. sk_tx_queue_recorded is no longer used so it can be completely removed.

2010-07-14net/core: neighbour update OopsDoug Kehn
When configuring DMVPN (GRE + openNHRP) and a GRE remote address is configured a kernel Oops is observed. The obserseved Oops is caused by a NULL header_ops pointer (neigh->dev->header_ops) in neigh_update_hhs() when void (*update)(struct hh_cache*, const struct net_device*, const unsigned char *) = neigh->dev->header_ops->cache_update; is executed. The dev associated with the NULL header_ops is the GRE interface. This patch guards against the possibility that header_ops is NULL. This Oops was first observed in kernel version 2.6.26.8.

2010-07-14net: skb_tx_hash() fix relative to skb_orphan_try()Eric Dumazet
commit fc6055a5ba31e2 (net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()) added early orphaning of skbs. This unfortunately added a performance regression in skb_tx_hash() in case of stacked devices (bonding, vlans, ...) Since skb->sk is now NULL, we cannot access sk->sk_hash anymore to spread tx packets to multiple NIC queues on multiqueue devices. skb_tx_hash() in this case only uses skb->protocol, same value for all flows. skb_orphan_try() can copy sk->sk_hash into skb->rxhash and skb_tx_hash() can use this saved sk_hash value to compute its internal hash value.

2010-07-02net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdiscJohn Fastabend
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can be sent to the underlying driver. The flow for this is, dev_queue_xmit() dev_pick_tx() skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues skb_set_queue_mapping() ... qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash ... dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n ... sch_direct_xmit() dev_hard_start_xmit() ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set 0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues. This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to rings that no longer exist.

struct ethtool_rxnfc was originally defined in 2.6.27 for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH command with only the cmd, flow_type and data fields. It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional commands. These commands should have been defined to use a new structure, but it is too late to change that now. Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and from user-space.

2010-06-16Clear IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE for teql interfacesTom Hughes
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16183 The sch_teql module, which can be used to load balance over a set of underlying interfaces, stopped working after 2.6.30 and has been broken in all kernels since then for any underlying interface which requires the addition of link level headers. The problem is that the transmit routine relies on being able to access the destination address in the skb in order to do address resolution once it has decided which underlying interface it is going to transmit through. In 2.6.31 the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag was introduced, and set by default for all interfaces, which causes the destination address to be released before the transmit routine for the interface is called. The solution is to clear that flag for teql interfaces. Signed-off-by: Tom Hughes <tom@compton.nu> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-06-10net: deliver skbs on inactive slaves to exact matchesJohn Fastabend
Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and is not one of the special pkts tested for in skb_bond_should_drop(). This behavior is different then the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan. For example, vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any packet handlers at all. However, bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx and bond0 -> ethx will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev, because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only delivers them to exact matches. This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the skb to continue to skb_netif_recv(). Here we add logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly. This makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves. Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others be dropped out right in the vlan path. I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes and load balancing modes. # bond0 -> ethx # vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx # bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx # bond0 -> ethx | vlanx -> -- Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-06-09ipvs: Add missing locking during connection table hashing and unhashingSven Wegener
The code that hashes and unhashes connections from the connection table is missing locking of the connection being modified, which opens up a race condition and results in memory corruption when this race condition is hit. Here is what happens in pretty verbose form: CPU 0 CPU 1 ------------ ------------ An active connection is terminated and we schedule ip_vs_conn_expire() on this CPU to expire this connection. IRQ assignment is changed to this CPU, but the expire timer stays scheduled on the other CPU. New connection from same ip:port comes in right before the timer expires, we find the inactive connection in our connection table and get a reference to it. We proper lock the connection in tcp_state_transition() and read the connection flags in set_tcp_state(). ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called, we unhash the connection from our connection table and remove the hashed flag in ip_vs_conn_unhash(), without proper locking! While still holding proper locks we write the connection flags in set_tcp_state() and this sets the hashed flag again. ip_vs_conn_expire() fails to expire the connection, because the other CPU has incremented the reference count. We try to re-insert the connection into our connection table, but this fails in ip_vs_conn_hash(), because the hashed flag has been set by the other CPU. We re-schedule execution of ip_vs_conn_expire(). Now this connection has the hashed flag set, but isn't actually hashed in our connection table and has a dangling list_head. We drop the reference we held on the connection and schedule the expire timer for timeouting the connection on this CPU. Further packets won't be able to find this connection in our connection table. ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called again, we think it's already hashed, but the list_head is dangling and while removing the connection from our connection table we write to the memory location where this list_head points to. The result will probably be a kernel oops at some other point in time. This race condition is pretty subtle, but it can be triggered remotely. It needs the IRQ assignment change or another circumstance where packets coming from the same ip:port for the same service are being processed on different CPUs. And it involves hitting the exact time at which ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called. It can be avoided by making sure that all packets from one connection are always processed on the same CPU and can be made harder to exploit by changing the connection timeouts to some custom values.

Fix is to either reinit list, or use list_del() to properly remove items from list before freeing them. bugzilla report : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16120 Introduced by commit d1db275dd3f6e4 (ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tables) and commit f0ad0860d01e (ipv4: ipmr: support multiple tables) Reported-by: Alex Zhavnerchik <alex.vizor@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

With mtu=9000, mld_newpack() use order-2 GFP_ATOMIC allocations, that are very unreliable, on machines where PAGE_SIZE=4K Limit allocated skbs to be at most one page. (order-0 allocations) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-06-04rps: tcp: fix rps_sock_flow_table table updatesEric Dumazet
I believe a moderate SYN flood attack can corrupt RFS flow table (rps_sock_flow_table), making RPS/RFS much less effective. Even in a normal situation, server handling short lived sessions suffer from bad steering for the first data packet of a session, if another SYN packet is received for another session. We do following action in tcp_v4_rcv() : sock_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash); We should _not_ do this if sk is a LISTEN socket, as about each packet received on a LISTEN socket has a different rxhash than previous one. -> RPS_NO_CPU markers are spread all over rps_sock_flow_table. Also, it makes sense to protect sk->rxhash field changes with socket lock (We currently can change it even if user thread owns the lock and might use rxhash) This patch moves sock_rps_save_rxhash() to a sock locked section, and only for non LISTEN sockets.
