2008-02-28[IPCOMP]: Disable BH on output when using shared tfmHerbert Xu
Because we use shared tfm objects in order to conserve memory, (each tfm requires 128K of vmalloc memory), BH needs to be turned off on output as that can occur in process context. Previously this was done implicitly by the xfrm output code. That was lost when it became lockless. So we need to add the BH disabling to IPComp directly.

2008-02-26[INET]: Don't create tunnels with '%' in name.Pavel Emelyanov
Four tunnel drivers (ip_gre, ipip, ip6_tunnel and sit) can receive a pre-defined name for a device from the userspace. Since these drivers call the register_netdevice() (rtnl_lock, is held), which does _not_ generate the device's name, this name may contain a '%' character. Not sure how bad is this to have a device with a '%' in its name, but all the other places either use the register_netdev(), which call the dev_alloc_name(), or explicitly call the dev_alloc_name() before registering, i.e. do not allow for such names. This had to be prior to the commit 34cc7b, but I forgot to number the patches and this one got lost, sorry. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-02-26[IPV4]: Reset scope when changing addressBjorn Mork
This bug did bite at least one user, who did have to resort to rebooting the system after an "ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1" typo. Deleting the address and adding a new is a less intrusive workaround. But I still beleive this is a bug that should be fixed. Some way or another. Another possibility would be to remove the scope mangling based on address. This will always be incomplete (are 127/8 the only address space with host scope requirements?) We set the scope to RT_SCOPE_HOST if an IPv4 interface is configured with a loopback address (127/8). The scope is never reset, and will remain set to RT_SCOPE_HOST after changing the address. This patch resets the scope if the address is changed again, to restore normal functionality.

Use the added dev_alloc_name() call to create tunnel device name, rather than iterate in a hand-made loop with an artificial limit. Thanks Patrick for noticing this.

packet data As reported by Tomas Simonaitis <tomas.simonaitis@gmail.com>, inserting new data in skbs queued over {ip,ip6,nfnetlink}_queue triggers a SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT in skb_put().

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>

2008-02-12[IPV4]: Remove IP_TOS setting privilege checks.David S. Miller
Various RFCs have all sorts of things to say about the CS field of the DSCP value. In particular they try to make the distinction between values that should be used by "user applications" and things like routing daemons. This seems to have influenced the CAP_NET_ADMIN check which exists for IP_TOS socket option settings, but in fact it has an off-by-one error so it wasn't allowing CS5 which is meant for "user applications" as well. Further adding to the inconsistency and brokenness here, IPV6 does not validate the DSCP values specified for the IPV6_TCLASS socket option. The real actual uses of these TOS values are system specific in the final analysis, and these RFC recommendations are just that, "a recommendation". In fact the standards very purposefully use "SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" when describing how these values can be used. In the final analysis the only clean way to provide consistency here is to remove the CAP_NET_ADMIN check. The alternatives just don't work out: 1) If we add the CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6, this can break existing setups. 2) If we just fix the off-by-one error in the class comparison in IPV4, certain DSCP values can be used in IPV6 but not IPV4 by default. So people will just ask for a sysctl asking to override that. I checked several other freely available kernel trees and they do not make any privilege checks in this area like we do. For the BSD stacks, this goes back all the way to Stevens Volume 2 and beyond. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-02-03[SOCK] proto: Add hashinfo member to struct protoArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This way we can remove TCP and DCCP specific versions of sk->sk_prot->get_port: both v4 and v6 use inet_csk_get_port sk->sk_prot->hash: inet_hash is directly used, only v6 need a specific version to deal with mapped sockets sk->sk_prot->unhash: both v4 and v6 use inet_hash directly struct inet_connection_sock_af_ops also gets a new member, bind_conflict, so that inet_csk_get_port can find the per family routine. Now only the lookup routines receive as a parameter a struct inet_hashtable. With this we further reuse code, reducing the difference among INET transport protocols. Eventually work has to be done on UDP and SCTP to make them share this infrastructure and get as a bonus inet_diag interfaces so that iproute can be used with these protocols. net-2.6/net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c: struct proto | +8 struct inet_connection_sock_af_ops | +8 2 structs changed __inet_hash_nolisten | +18 __inet_hash | -210 inet_put_port | +8 inet_bind_bucket_create | +1 __inet_hash_connect | -8 5 functions changed, 27 bytes added, 218 bytes removed, diff: -191 net-2.6/net/core/sock.c: proto_seq_show | +3 1 function changed, 3 bytes added, diff: +3 net-2.6/net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c: inet_csk_get_port | +15 1 function changed, 15 bytes added, diff: +15 net-2.6/net/ipv4/tcp.c: tcp_set_state | -7 1 function changed, 7 bytes removed, diff: -7 net-2.6/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c: tcp_v4_get_port | -31 tcp_v4_hash | -48 tcp_v4_destroy_sock | -7 tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock | -2 tcp_unhash | -179 5 functions changed, 267 bytes removed, diff: -267 net-2.6/net/ipv6/inet6_hashtables.c: __inet6_hash | +8 1 function changed, 8 bytes added, diff: +8 net-2.6/net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c: inet_unhash | +190 inet_hash | +242 2 functions changed, 432 bytes added, diff: +432 vmlinux: 16 functions changed, 485 bytes added, 492 bytes removed, diff: -7 /home/acme/git/net-2.6/net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c: tcp_v6_get_port | -31 tcp_v6_hash | -7 tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock | -9 3 functions changed, 47 bytes removed, diff: -47 /home/acme/git/net-2.6/net/dccp/proto.c: dccp_destroy_sock | -7 dccp_unhash | -179 dccp_hash | -49 dccp_set_state | -7 dccp_done | +1 5 functions changed, 1 bytes added, 242 bytes removed, diff: -241 /home/acme/git/net-2.6/net/dccp/ipv4.c: dccp_v4_get_port | -31 dccp_v4_request_recv_sock | -2 2 functions changed, 33 bytes removed, diff: -33 /home/acme/git/net-2.6/net/dccp/ipv6.c: dccp_v6_get_port | -31 dccp_v6_hash | -7 dccp_v6_request_recv_sock | +5 3 functions changed, 5 bytes added, 38 bytes removed, diff: -33 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-01-31[IPV4] route cache: Introduce rt_genid for smooth cache invalidationEric Dumazet
Current ip route cache implementation is not suited to large caches. We can consume a lot of CPU when cache must be invalidated, since we currently need to evict all cache entries, and this eviction is sometimes asynchronous. min_delay & max_delay can somewhat control this asynchronism behavior, but whole thing is a kludge, regularly triggering infamous soft lockup messages. When entries are still in use, this also consumes a lot of ram, filling dst_garbage.list. A better scheme is to use a generation identifier on each entry, so that cache invalidation can be performed by changing the table identifier, without having to scan all entries. No more delayed flushing, no more stalling when secret_interval expires. Invalidated entries will then be freed at GC time (controled by ip_rt_gc_timeout or stress), or when an invalidated entry is found in a chain when an insert is done. Thus we keep a normal equilibrium. This patch : - renames rt_hash_rnd to rt_genid (and makes it an atomic_t) - Adds a new rt_genid field to 'struct rtable' (filling a hole on 64bit) - Checks entry->rt_genid at appropriate places :
