2006-05-03[TCP]: Fix sock_orphan dead lockHerbert Xu
Calling sock_orphan inside bh_lock_sock in tcp_close can lead to dead locks. For example, the inet_diag code holds sk_callback_lock without disabling BH. If an inbound packet arrives during that admittedly tiny window, it will cause a dead lock on bh_lock_sock. Another possible path would be through sock_wfree if the network device driver frees the tx skb in process context with BH enabled. We can fix this by moving sock_orphan out of bh_lock_sock. The tricky bit is to work out when we need to destroy the socket ourselves and when it has already been destroyed by someone else. By moving sock_orphan before the release_sock we can solve this problem. This is because as long as we own the socket lock its state cannot change. So we simply record the socket state before the release_sock and then check the state again after we regain the socket lock. If the socket state has transitioned to TCP_CLOSE in the time being, we know that the socket has been destroyed. Otherwise the socket is still ours to keep. Note that I've also moved the increment on the orphan count forward. This may look like a problem as we're increasing it even if the socket is just about to be destroyed where it'll be decreased again. However, this simply enlarges a window that already exists. This also changes the orphan count test by one. Considering what the orphan count is meant to do this is no big deal. This problem was discoverd by Ingo Molnar using his lock validator.

2006-05-01[NETFILTER] x_tables: fix compat related crash on non-x86Patrick McHardy
When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size of the entire entry as: sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target)) ipt_standard_target looks like this: struct xt_standard_target { struct xt_entry_target target; int verdict; }; xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4 byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large. The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) - sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target), which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to the size and following offsets.

During that process I found this bug in the IP ID selection code in xfrm4_output.c. At that point dst is still the xfrm_dst for the current SA which represents an internal flow as far as the IPsec tunnel is concerned.

2006-04-18[TCP]: Fix truesize underflowHerbert Xu
There is a problem with the TSO packet trimming code. The cause of this lies in the tcp_fragment() function. When we allocate a fragment for a completely non-linear packet the truesize is calculated for a payload length of zero. This means that truesize could in fact be less than the real payload length. When that happens the TSO packet trimming can cause truesize to become negative. This in turn can cause sk_forward_alloc to be -n * PAGE_SIZE which would trigger the warning.

2006-04-09[INET]: Move no-tunnel ICMP error to tunnel4/tunnel6Herbert Xu
This patch moves the sending of ICMP messages when there are no IPv4/IPv6 tunnels present to tunnel4/tunnel6 respectively. Please note that for now if xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel is loaded then no ICMP messages will ever be sent. This is similar to how we handle AH/ESP/IPCOMP. This move fixes the bug where we always send an ICMP message when there is no ip6_tunnel device present for a given packet even if it is later handled by IPsec. It also causes ICMP messages to be sent when no IPIP tunnel is present. I've decided to use the "port unreachable" ICMP message over the current value of "address unreachable" (and "protocol unreachable" by GRE) because it is not ambiguous unlike the other ones which can be triggered by other conditions. There seems to be no standard specifying what value must be used so this change should be OK. In fact we should change GRE to use this value as well. Incidentally, this patch also fixes a fairly serious bug in xfrm6_tunnel where we don't check whether the embedded IPv6 header is present before dereferencing it for the inside source address.

2006-03-28[INET]: Introduce tunnel4/tunnel6Herbert Xu
Basically this patch moves the generic tunnel protocol stuff out of xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel and moves it into the new files of tunnel4.c and tunnel6 respectively. The reason for this is that the problem that Hugo uncovered is only the tip of the iceberg. The real problem is that when we removed the dependency of ipip on xfrm4_tunnel we didn't really consider the module case at all. For instance, as it is it's possible to build both ipip and xfrm4_tunnel as modules and if the latter is loaded then ipip simply won't load. After considering the alternatives I've decided that the best way out of this is to restore the dependency of ipip on the non-xfrm-specific part of xfrm4_tunnel. This is acceptable IMHO because the intention of the removal was really to be able to use ipip without the xfrm subsystem. This is still preserved by this patch. So now both ipip/xfrm4_tunnel depend on the new tunnel4.c which handles the arbitration between the two. The order of processing is determined by a simple integer which ensures that ipip gets processed before xfrm4_tunnel. The situation for ICMP handling is a little bit more complicated since we may not have enough information to determine who it's for. It's not a big deal at the moment since the xfrm ICMP handlers are basically no-ops. In future we can deal with this when we look at ICMP caching in general. The user-visible change to this is the removal of the TUNNEL Kconfig prompts. This makes sense because it can only be used through IPCOMP as it stands. The addition of the new modules shouldn't introduce any problems since module dependency will cause them to be loaded. Oh and I also turned some unnecessary pskb's in IPv6 related to this patch to skb's. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-27[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

2006-03-25[PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notificationsDavide Libenzi
Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP (and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets. Since the existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few places where it makes sense. The same thing was discussed and conceptually agreed quite some time ago: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116 Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture, even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it. As far as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is. The pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files. The other attached diff is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP definition. There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here: http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.
