2008-06-04tcp: Fix for race due to temporary drop of the socket lock in skb_splice_bits.Octavian Purdila
skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock. This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb" after the lock has been temporary dropped. Based on idea and initial patch from Evgeniy Polyakov.

2008-06-03net: neighbour table ABI problemStephen Hemminger
The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the real system HZ value which is problematic. Linux has standardized on keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running internally at some other value. This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of iproute2 utilities. But these utilities are already broken since they are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space. Older utilities will just print wrong values. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-05-08netns: Fix arbitrary net_device-s corruptions on net_ns stop.Pavel Emelyanov
When a net namespace is destroyed, some devices (those, not killed on ns stop explicitly) are moved back to init_net. The problem, is that this net_ns change has one point of failure - the __dev_alloc_name() may be called if a name collision occurs (and this is easy to trigger). This allocator performs a likely-to-fail GFP_ATOMIC allocation to find a suitable number. Other possible conditions that may cause error (for device being ns local or not registered) are always false in this case. So, when this call fails, the device is unregistered. But this is *not* the right thing to do, since after this the device may be released (and kfree-ed) improperly. E. g. bridges require more actions (sysfs update, timer disarming, etc.), some other devices want to remove their private areas from lists, etc. I. e. arbitrary use-after-free cases may occur. The proposed fix is the following: since the only reason for the dev_change_net_namespace to fail is the name generation, we may give it a unique fall-back name w/o %d-s in it - the dev<ifindex> one, since ifindexes are still unique. So make this change, raise the failure-case printk loglevel to EMERG and replace the unregister_netdevice call with BUG().

2008-05-02netns: Fix device renaming for sysfsDaniel Lezcano
When a netdev is moved across namespaces with the 'dev_change_net_namespace' function, the 'device_rename' function is used to fixup kobject and refresh the sysfs tree. The device_rename function will call kobject_rename and this one will check if there is an object with the same name and this is the case because we are renaming the object with the same name. The use of 'device_rename' seems for me wrong because we usually don't rename it but just move it across namespaces. As we just want to do a mini "netdev_[un]register", IMO the functions 'netdev_[un]register_kobject' should be used instead, like an usual network device [un]registering. This patch replace device_rename by netdev_unregister_kobject, followed by netdev_register_kobject. The netdev_register_kobject will call device_initialize and will raise a warning indicating the device was already initialized. In order to fix that, I split the device initialization into a separate function and use it together with 'netdev_register_kobject' into register_netdevice. So we can safely call 'netdev_register_kobject' in 'dev_change_net_namespace'. This fix will allow to properly use the sysfs per namespace which is coming from -mm tree.

2008-04-24ethtool: EEPROM dump no longer works for tg3 and natsemiMandeep Singh Baines
In the ethtool user-space application, tg3 and natsemi over-ride the default implementation of dump_eeprom(). In both tg3_dump_eeprom() and natsemi_dump_eeprom(), there is a magic number check which is not present in the default implementation. Commit b131dd5d ("[ETHTOOL]: Add support for large eeproms") snipped the code which copied the ethtool_eeprom structure back to user-space. tg3 and natsemi are over-writing the magic number field and then checking it in user-space.

2008-04-18[NET]: Fix and allocate less memory for ->priv'less netdevicesAlexey Dobriyan
This patch effectively reverts commit d0498d9ae1a5cebac363e38907266d5cd2eedf89 aka "[NET]: Do not allocate unneeded memory for dev->priv alignment." It was found to be buggy because of final unconditional += NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST removal. For example, for sizeof(struct net_device) being 2048 bytes, "alloc_size" was also 2048 bytes, but allocator with debugging options turned on started giving out !32-byte aligned memory resulting in redzones overwrites. Patch does small optimization in ->priv'less case: bumping size to next 32-byte boundary was always done to ensure ->priv will also be aligned. But, no ->priv, no need to do that.

2008-04-16[NET]: Do not allocate unneeded memory for dev->priv alignment.Pavel Emelyanov
The alloc_netdev_mq() tries to produce 32-bytes alignment for both the net_device itself and its private data. The second alignment is achieved by adding the NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST to the whole size of the memory to be allocated. However, for those devices that do not need the private area, this addition just makes the net_device weight 1024 + 32 = 1068 bytes, i.e. consume twice as much memory. Since loopback device is such (sizeof_priv == 0 for it), and each net namespace creates one, this can save a noticeable amount of memory for kernel with net namespaces turned on. After this set the lo device is actually allocated from a size-1024 kmem cache on i386 box even with NETPOLL and WIRELESS_EXT turned on.

2008-04-15[NETNS]: The generic per-net pointers.Pavel Emelyanov
Add the elastic array of void * pointer to the struct net. The access rules are simple: 1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get the id of your private pointer 2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the struct net (most preferably this should be done in the ->init callback of the ops registered) 3. do not store any private reference on the net_generic array; 4. do not change this pointer while the net is alive; 5. use the net_generic() to get the pointer. When adding a new pointer, I copy the old array, replace it with a new one and schedule the old for kfree after an RCU grace period. Since the net_generic explores the net->gen array inside rcu read section and once set the net->gen->ptr[x] pointer never changes, this grants us a safe access to generic pointers. Quoting Paul: "... RCU is protecting -only- the net_generic structure that net_generic() is traversing, and the [pointer] returned by net_generic() is protected by a reference counter in the upper-level struct net."

To make some per-net generic pointers, we need some way to address them, i.e. - IDs. This is simple IDA-based IDs generator for pernet subsystems. Addressing questions about potential checkpoint/restart problems: these IDs are "lite-offsets" within the net structure and are by no means supposed to be exported to the userspace. Since it will be used in the nearest future by devices only (tun, vlan, tunnels, bridge, etc), I make it resemble the functionality of register_pernet_device(). The new ids is stored in the *id pointer _before_ calling the init callback to make this id available in this callback. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

A top-level attribute can be located using a filter like this (example for nfnetlink, using struct nfgenmsg): ... { /* A = offset of first attribute */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_IMM, .k = sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) + sizeof(struct nfgenmsg) }, { /* X = CTA_PROTOINFO */ .code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM, .k = CTA_PROTOINFO, }, { /* A = netlink attribute offset */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS, .k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR }, { /* Exit if not found */ .code = BPF_JMP | BPF_JEQ | BPF_K, .k = 0, .jt = <error> }, ... A nested attribute below the CTA_PROTOINFO attribute would then be parsed like this: ... { /* A += sizeof(struct nlattr) */ .code = BPF_ALU | BPF_ADD | BPF_K, .k = sizeof(struct nlattr), }, { /* X = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP */ .code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM, .k = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP, }, { /* A = netlink attribute offset */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS, .k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR }, ... The data of an attribute can be loaded into 'A' like this: ... { /* X = A (attribute offset) */ .code = BPF_MISC | BPF_TAX, }, { /* A = skb->data[X + k] */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_IND, .k = sizeof(struct nlattr), }, ...

2008-03-31[SOCK][NETNS]: Add the percpu prot_inuse counter in the struct net.Pavel Emelyanov
Such an accounting would cost us two more dereferences to get the percpu variable from the struct net, so I make sock_prot_inuse_get and _add calls work differently depending on CONFIG_NET_NS - without it old optimized routines are used. The per-cpu counter for init_net is prepared in core_initcall, so that even af_inet, that starts as fs_initcall, will already have the init_net prepared.

2008-03-31[SOCK][NETNS]: Add a struct net argument to sock_prot_inuse_add and _get.Pavel Emelyanov
This counter is about to become per-proto-and-per-net, so we'll need two arguments to determine which cell in this "table" to work with. All the places, but proc already pass proper net to it - proc will be tuned a bit later. Some indentation with spaces in proc files is done to keep the file coding style consistent.
