2011-08-03net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()Eric Dumazet
Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir(). It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr dereference. Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can safely use a neighbour. Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir() can be called safely by different cpus in parallel. As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects) Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the bug.

2011-08-01ipv6: updates to privacy addresses per RFC 4941.Lorenzo Colitti
Update the code to handle some of the differences between RFC 3041 and RFC 4941, which obsoletes it. Also a couple of janitorial fixes. - Allow router advertisements to increase the lifetime of temporary addresses. This was not allowed by RFC 3041, but is specified by RFC 4941. It is useful when RA lifetimes are lower than TEMP_{VALID,PREFERRED}_LIFETIME: in this case, the previous code would delete or deprecate addresses prematurely. - Change the default of MAX_RETRY to 3 per RFC 4941. - Add a comment to clarify that the preferred and valid lifetimes in inet6_ifaddr are relative to the timestamp. - Shorten lines to 80 characters in a couple of places.

2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: check Ack Ratio when reducing cwndSamuel Jero
This patch causes CCID-2 to check the Ack Ratio after reducing the congestion window. If the Ack Ratio is greater than the congestion window, it is reduced. This prevents timeouts caused by an Ack Ratio larger than the congestion window. In this situation, we choose to set the Ack Ratio to half the congestion window (or one if that's zero) so that if we loose one ack we don't trigger a timeout.

2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: increment cwnd correctlySamuel Jero
This patch fixes an issue where CCID-2 will not increase the congestion window for numerous RTTs after an idle period, application-limited period, or a loss once the algorithm is in Congestion Avoidance. What happens is that, when CCID-2 is in Congestion Avoidance mode, it will increase hc->tx_packets_acked by one for every packet and will increment cwnd every cwnd packets. However, if there is now an idle period in the connection, cwnd will be reduced, possibly below the slow start threshold. This will cause the connection to go into Slow Start. However, in Slow Start CCID-2 performs this test to increment cwnd every second ack: ++hc->tx_packets_acked == 2 Unfortunately, this will be incorrect, if cwnd previous to the idle period was larger than 2 and if tx_packets_acked was close to cwnd. For example: cwnd=50 and tx_packets_acked=45. In this case, the current code, will increment tx_packets_acked until it equals two, which will only be once tx_packets_acked (an unsigned 32-bit integer) overflows. My fix is simply to change that test for tx_packets_acked greater than or equal to two in slow start. Signed-off-by: Samuel Jero <sj323707@ohio.edu> Acked-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: prevent cwnd > Sequence WindowSamuel Jero
Add a check to prevent CCID-2 from increasing the cwnd greater than the Sequence Window. When the congestion window becomes bigger than the Sequence Window, CCID-2 will attempt to keep more data in the network than the DCCP Sequence Window code considers possible. This results in the Sequence Window code issuing a Sync, thereby inducing needless overhead. Further, if this occurs at the sender, CCID-2 will never detect the problem because the Acks it receives will indicate no losses. I have seen this cause a drop of 1/3rd in throughput for a connection. Also add code to adjust the Sequence Window to be about 5 times the number of packets in the network (RFC 4340, 7.5.2) and to adjust the Ack Ratio so that the remote Sequence Window will hold about 5 times the number of packets in the network. This allows the congestion window to increase correctly without being limited by the Sequence Window. Signed-off-by: Samuel Jero <sj323707@ohio.edu> Acked-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: use feature-negotiation to report Ack Ratio changesGerrit Renker
This uses the new feature-negotiation framework to signal Ack Ratio changes, as required by RFC 4341, sec. 6.1.2. That raises some problems with CCID-2, which at the moment can not cope gracefully with Ack Ratios > 1. Since these issues are not directly related to feature negotiation, they are marked by a FIXME.

2011-08-01dccp: support for the exchange of NN options in established state 1/2Gerrit Renker
In contrast to static feature negotiation at the begin of a connection, this patch introduces support for exchange of dynamically changing options. Such an update/exchange is necessary in at least two cases: * CCID-2's Ack Ratio (RFC 4341, 6.1.2) which changes during the connection; * Sequence Window values that, as per RFC 4340, 7.5.2, should be sent "as the connection progresses". Both are non-negotiable (NN) features, which means that no new capabilities are negotiated, but rather that changes in known parameters are brought up-to-date at either end. Thse characteristics are reflected by the implementation: * only NN options can be exchanged after connection setup; * an ack is scheduled directly after activation to speed up the update; * CCIDs may request changes to an NN feature even if a negotiation for that feature is already underway: this is required by CCID-2, where changes in cwnd necessitate Ack Ratio changes, such that the previous Ack Ratio (which is still being negotiated) would cause irrecoverable RTO timeouts (thanks to work by Samuel Jero).

2011-07-29netfilter: ip_queue: Fix small leak in ipq_build_packet_message()Jesper Juhl
ipq_build_packet_message() in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_queue.c and net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_queue.c contain a small potential mem leak as far as I can tell. We allocate memory for 'skb' with alloc_skb() annd then call nlh = NLMSG_PUT(skb, 0, 0, IPQM_PACKET, size - sizeof(*nlh)); NLMSG_PUT is a macro NLMSG_PUT(skb, pid, seq, type, len) \ NLMSG_NEW(skb, pid, seq, type, len, 0) that expands to NLMSG_NEW, which is also a macro which expands to: NLMSG_NEW(skb, pid, seq, type, len, flags) \ ({ if (unlikely(skb_tailroom(skb) < (int)NLMSG_SPACE(len))) \ goto nlmsg_failure; \ __nlmsg_put(skb, pid, seq, type, len, flags); }) If we take the true branch of the 'if' statement and 'goto nlmsg_failure', then we'll, at that point, return from ipq_build_packet_message() without having assigned 'skb' to anything and we'll leak the memory we allocated for it when it goes out of scope. Fix this by placing a 'kfree(skb)' at 'nlmsg_failure'. I admit that I do not know how likely this to actually happen or even if there's something that guarantees that it will never happen - I'm not that familiar with this code, but if that is so, I've not been able to spot it.

2011-07-25Merge 'akpm' patch seriesLinus Torvalds
* Merge akpm patch series: (122 commits) drivers/connector/cn_proc.c: remove unused local Documentation/SubmitChecklist: add RCU debug config options reiserfs: use hweight_long() reiserfs: use proper little-endian bitops pnpacpi: register disabled resources drivers/rtc/rtc-tegra.c: properly initialize spinlock drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: check return value of twl_rtc_write_u8() in twl_rtc_set_time() drivers/rtc: add support for Qualcomm PMIC8xxx RTC drivers/rtc/rtc-s3c.c: support clock gating drivers/rtc/rtc-mpc5121.c: add support for RTC on MPC5200 init: skip calibration delay if previously done misc/eeprom: add eeprom access driver for digsy_mtc board misc/eeprom: add driver for microwire 93xx46 EEPROMs checkpatch.pl: update $logFunctions checkpatch: make utf-8 test --strict checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages checkpatch: add a "prefer __aligned" check checkpatch: validate signature styles and To: and Cc: lines checkpatch: add __rcu as a sparse modifier checkpatch: suggest using min_t or max_t ... Did this as a merge because of (trivial) conflicts in - Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt - arch/xtensa/include/asm/uaccess.h that were just easier to fix up in the merge than in the patch series.
2011-07-25notifiers: cpu: move cpu notifiers into cpu.hAmerigo Wang
We presently define all kinds of notifiers in notifier.h. This is not necessary at all, since different subsystems use different notifiers, they are almost non-related with each other. This can also save much build time. Suppose I add a new netdevice event, really I don't have to recompile all the source, just network related. Without this patch, all the source will be recompiled. I move the notify events near to their subsystem notifier registers, so that they can be found more easily. This patch: It is not necessary to share the same notifier.h.

2011-07-25IPv4: Send gratuitous ARP for secondary IP addresses alsoZoltan Kiss
If a device event generates gratuitous ARP messages, only primary address is used for sending. This patch iterates through the whole list. Tested with 2 IP addresses configuration on bonding interface. Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss <schaman@sch.bme.hu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-07-25ipv6: Do not leave router anycast address for /127 prefixes.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki
Original commit 2bda8a0c8af... "Disable router anycast address for /127 prefixes" says: | No need for matching code in addrconf_leave_anycast() as it | will silently ignore any attempt to leave an unknown anycast | address. After analysis, because 1) we may add two or more prefixes on the same interface, or 2)user may have manually joined that anycast, we may hit chances to have anycast address which as if we had generated one by /127 prefix and we should not leave from subnet- router anycast address unconditionally.
