2006-10-21[DCCP]: Fix Oops in DCCPv6Gerrit Renker
I think I got the cause for the Oops observed in http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00578.html The problem is always with applications listening on PF_INET6 sockets. Apart from the mentioned oops, I observed another one one, triggered at irregular intervals via timer interrupt: run_timer_softirq -> dccp_keepalive_timer -> inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune -> reqsk_free -> dccp_v6_reqsk_destructor The latter function is the problem and is also the last function to be called in said kernel panic. In any case, there is a real problem with allocating the right request_sock which is what this patch tackles. It fixes the following problem: - application listens on PF_INET6 - DCCPv4 packet comes in, is handed over to dccp_v4_do_rcv, from there to dccp_v4_conn_request Now: socket is PF_INET6, packet is IPv4. The following code then furnishes the connection with IPv6 - request_sock operations: req = reqsk_alloc(sk->sk_prot->rsk_prot); The first problem is that all further incoming packets will get a Reset since the connection can not be looked up. The second problem is worse: --> reqsk_alloc is called instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc --> consequently inet6_rsk_offset is never set (dangling pointer) --> the request_sock_ops are nevertheless still dccp6_request_ops --> destructor is called via reqsk_free --> dccp_v6_reqsk_destructor tries to free random memory location (inet6_rsk_offset not set) --> panic I have tested this for a while, DCCP sockets are now handled correctly in all three scenarios (v4/v6 only/v4-mapped). Commiter note: I've added the dccp_request_sock_ops forward declaration to keep the tree building and to reduce the size of the patch for 2.6.19, later I'll move the functions to the top of the affected source code to match what we have in the TCP counterpart, where this problem hasn't existed in the first place, dumb me not to have done the same thing on DCCP land 8) Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

2006-10-20[PATCH] knfsd: fix race that can disable NFS serverNeilBrown
This patch is suitable for just about any 2.6 kernel. It should go in 2.6.19 and 2.6.18.2 and possible even the .17 and .16 stable series. This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many distros seem to be making it the default. The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available. It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither of these set. It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the spin_lock. They could be cleared immediately after the test and before the lock is gained. This normally shouldn't be a problem. The sockets are non-blocking so trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem. However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not. This usually works but is not safe. The decision should be based on whether it is a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket.

2006-10-20[NETFILTER]: Missing check for CAP_NET_ADMIN in iptables compat layerBjörn Steinbrink
The 32bit compatibility layer has no CAP_NET_ADMIN check in compat_do_ipt_get_ctl, which for example allows to list the current iptables rules even without having that capability (the non-compat version requires it). Other capabilities might be required to exploit the bug (eg. CAP_NET_RAW to get the nfnetlink socket?), so a plain user can't exploit it, but a setup actually using the posix capability system might very well hit such a constellation of granted capabilities.

2006-10-18[TCP]: Bound TSO defer timeJohn Heffner
This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is longer. On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts. See attached plots, which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO. This burstiness causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult. Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small impact on performance. Signed-off-by: John Heffner <jheffner@psc.edu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-10-17[PATCH] knfsd: Allow lockd to drop replies as appropriateNeilBrown
It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request has to be 'dropped', to be retried later. That error status is not currently propagated back. So: Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code. Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply when this error comes back. Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of rpc_drop_reply.
