2011-01-27net: add kmemcheck annotation in __alloc_skb()Eric Dumazet
pskb_expand_head() triggers a kmemcheck warning when copy of skb_shared_info is done in pskb_expand_head() This is because destructor_arg field is not necessarily initialized at this point. Add kmemcheck_annotate_variable() call in __alloc_skb() to instruct kmemcheck this is a normal situation.

I'm testing an API that uses IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute.

2011-01-26net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.David S. Miller
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write. Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location. If a routing table entry exists, it will point there. Else it will point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'. The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store more states. For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc. However future enhancements will change this to place the writable metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing. Very likely this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache. Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail if we cannot COW the metrics successfully. But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and increase cache locality especially for routing workloads. In those cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written to. TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit. But that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics move to a more sharable location. Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout was necessary. Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state, as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks. The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into the writeable cacheline. This is OK since we are always accessing the flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the reference count. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-01-26netfilter: xt_connlimit: pick right dstaddr in NAT scenarioJan Engelhardt
xt_connlimit normally records the "original" tuples in a hashlist (such as "1.2.3.4 -> 5.6.7.8"), and looks in this list for iph->daddr when counting. When the user however uses DNAT in PREROUTING, looking for iph->daddr -- which is now 192.168.9.10 -- will not match. Thus in daddr mode, we need to record the reverse direction tuple ("192.168.9.10 -> 1.2.3.4") instead. In the reverse tuple, the dst addr is on the src side, which is convenient, as count_them still uses &conn->tuple.src.u3. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>

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.

Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Japan 4.9GHz band, according to IEEE802.11 section 17.3.8.3.2 and Annex J. Because there are now overlapping channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility) we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14. This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in 802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted.

2011-01-20net_sched: accurate bytes/packets stats/ratesEric Dumazet
In commit 44b8288308ac9d (net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem), we fixed a problem with pfifo_head drops that incorrectly decreased sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets Several qdiscs (CHOKe, SFQ, pfifo_head, ...) are able to drop a previously enqueued packet, and bstats cannot be changed, so bstats/rates are not accurate (over estimated) This patch changes the qdisc_bstats updates to be done at dequeue() time instead of enqueue() time. bstats counters no longer account for dropped frames, and rates are more correct, since enqueue() bursts dont have effect on dequeue() rate.

2011-01-20rtnetlink: fix link attribute validation with IFLA_GROUPPatrick McHardy
rtnl_group_changelink() is invoked by rtnl_newlink() before the link attributes have been validated. Additionally the group changes are performed even if NLM_F_CREATE is specified and a new link is created, while more reasonable semantics would be to set the group value on the newly created link. Fix both problems by moving the rtnl_group_changelink() invocation down to the handling of non-existant links without NLM_F_CREATE() and add a dev_set_group() call to rtnl_create_link().

2011-01-20kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.
