2008-03-24[NEIGH]: Fix race between pneigh deletion and ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns (v3).Pavel Emelyanov
Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine) should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry. There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns() uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER. This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped and the deleting procedure may proceed. One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too big for -rc4. So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check the flags on alive pneigh entry. Changes from v2: As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module. The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony. Changes from v1: Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized by gcc.

2008-03-21[NET]: Add per-connection option to set max TSO frame sizePeter P Waskiewicz Jr
Update: My mailer ate one of Jarek's feedback mails... Fixed the parameter in netif_set_gso_max_size() to be u32, not u16. Fixed the whitespace issue due to a patch import botch. Changed the types from u32 to unsigned int to be more consistent with other variables in the area. Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree. Update: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16. Moved the location of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath. Made more consistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a define for the max GSO size. Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree. Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to unsigned - thanks Stephen! This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of the TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection. By setting the netdevice's gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO frame size based on that value. This will propogate into the TCP layer, and send TSO's of that size to the hardware. This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices coexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc. This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation offloading.

The neigh_hash_grow() may update the tbl->hash_rnd value, which is used in all tbl->hash callbacks to calculate the hashval. Two lookup routines may race with this, since they call the ->hash callback without the tbl->lock held.

RTM_NEWLINK allows for already existing links to be modified. For this purpose do_setlink() is called which expects address attributes with a payload length of at least dev->addr_len. This patch adds the necessary validation for the RTM_NEWLINK case. The address length for links to be created is not checked for now as the actual attribute length is used when copying the address to the netdevice structure. It might make sense to report an error if less than addr_len bytes are provided but enforcing this might break drivers trying to be smart with not transmitting all zero addresses.

There is a race in Linux kernel file net/core/dev.c, function dev_close. The function calls function dev_deactivate, which calls function dev_watchdog_down that deletes the watchdog timer. However, after that, a driver can call netif_carrier_ok, which calls function __netdev_watchdog_up that can add the watchdog timer again. Function unregister_netdevice calls function dev_shutdown that traps the bug !timer_pending(&dev->watchdog_timer). Moving dev_deactivate after netif_running() has been cleared prevents function netif_carrier_on from calling __netdev_watchdog_up and adding the watchdog timer again.

In do_setlink() a single notification is sent at the end of the function if any modification occured. If the address has been changed, another notification is sent. Both of them is required because originally only the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification was sent and although device state change implies address change, some programs may expect the original notification. It remains for compatibity. If set_operstate() is called from do_setlink(), it doesn't send a notification, only if it is called from rtnl_create_link() as earlier.

2008-02-12[NDISC]: Fix race in generic address resolutionDavid S. Miller
Frank Blaschka provided the bug report and the initial suggested fix for this bug. He also validated this version of this fix. The problem is that the access to neigh->arp_queue is inconsistent, we grab references when dropping the lock lock to call neigh->ops->solicit() but this does not prevent other threads of control from trying to send out that packet at the same time causing corruptions because both code paths believe they have exclusive access to the skb. The best option seems to be to hold the write lock on neigh->lock during the ->solicit() call. I looked at all of the ndisc_ops implementations and this seems workable. The only case that needs special care is the IPV4 ARP implementation of arp_solicit(). It wants to take neigh->lock as a reader to protect the header entry in neigh->ha during the emission of the soliciation. We can simply remove the read lock calls to take care of that since holding the lock as a writer at the caller providers a superset of the protection afforded by the existing read locking. The rest of the ->solicit() implementations don't care whether the neigh is locked or not. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-02-07[IPSEC] flow: reorder "struct flow_cache_entry" and remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGNEric Dumazet
1) We can shrink sizeof(struct flow_cache_entry) by 8 bytes on 64bit arches. 2) No need to align these structures to hardware cache lines, this only waste ram for very litle gain. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-02-07[IPSEC] flow: Remove an unnecessary ____cacheline_alignedEric Dumazet
We use a percpu variable named flow_hash_info, which holds 12 bytes. It is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned, which makes linker skip space to properly align this variable. Before : c065cc90 D per_cpu__softnet_data c065cd00 d per_cpu__flow_tables <Here, hole of 124 bytes> c065cd80 d per_cpu__flow_hash_info <Here, hole of 116 bytes> c065ce00 d per_cpu__flow_flush_tasklets c065ce14 d per_cpu__rt_cache_stat This alignement is quite unproductive, and removing it reduces the size of percpu data (by 240 bytes on my x86 machine), and improves performance (flow_tables & flow_hash_info can share a single cache line) After patch : c065cc04 D per_cpu__softnet_data c065cc4c d per_cpu__flow_tables c065cc50 d per_cpu__flow_hash_info c065cc5c d per_cpu__flow_flush_tasklets c065cc70 d per_cpu__rt_cache_stat Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
