2008-06-17udp: sk_drops handlingEric Dumazet
In commits 33c732c36169d7022ad7d6eb474b0c9be43a2dc1 ([IPV4]: Add raw drops counter) and a92aa318b4b369091fd80433c80e62838db8bc1c ([IPV6]: Add raw drops counter), Wang Chen added raw drops counter for /proc/net/raw & /proc/net/raw6 This patch adds this capability to UDP sockets too (/proc/net/udp & /proc/net/udp6). This means that 'RcvbufErrors' errors found in /proc/net/snmp can be also be examined for each udp socket. # grep Udp: /proc/net/snmp Udp: InDatagrams NoPorts InErrors OutDatagrams RcvbufErrors SndbufErrors Udp: 23971006 75 899420 16390693 146348 0 # cat /proc/net/udp sl local_address rem_address st tx_queue rx_queue tr tm->when retrnsmt --- uid timeout inode ref pointer drops 75: 00000000:02CB 00000000:0000 07 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 --- 0 0 2358 2 ffff81082a538c80 0 111: 00000000:006F 00000000:0000 07 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 --- 0 0 2286 2 ffff81042dd35c80 146348 In this example, only port 111 (0x006F) was flooded by messages that user program could not read fast enough. 146348 messages were lost.

2008-06-12tcp: Revert 'process defer accept as established' changes.David S. Miller
This reverts two changesets, ec3c0982a2dd1e671bad8e9d26c28dcba0039d87 ("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adbf471c7a6b80102e38e1d5a346b3b38 ("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz"). This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting stuck. Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems. The new function added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent listening socket. Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would create an ABBA deadlock. The normal ordering is parent listening socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the reverse lock ordering. Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted: ---------------------------------------- >--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c >+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c >@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data) > goto death; > } > >+ if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) { >+ tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC); >+ goto death; Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done() will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for freeing. ---------------------------------------- Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all of the bugs: ---------------------------------------- Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole to consume memory without control. ---------------------------------------- So revert this thing for now.

Currently the last packet of a connection isn't accounted when its causing abnormal termination. Introduces nf_ct_kill_acct() which increments the accounting counters on conntrack kill. The new function was necessary, because there are calls to nf_ct_kill() which don't need accounting: nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~847: Kills ct and returns NF_REPEAT. We don't want to count twice. nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880: Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped packets. nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824: As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not desired.

2008-06-09netfilter: ip_tables: add iptables security table for mandatory access ↵James Morris
control rules The following patch implements a new "security" table for iptables, so that MAC (SELinux etc.) networking rules can be managed separately to standard DAC rules. This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based network controls, per various previous discussions. The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy management. The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle table to prevent breakage of existing users.

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.

2008-06-04tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync conditionIlpo Järvinen
This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases. In order for this to cause corruption: 1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated. 2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that in cache in the first place. 3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be updated on this iteration. ...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out by tcp_sacktag_one. It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK. Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)). Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero and reordering metric on RTO). This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have tried to help here. This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go through it just once there. Going through twice would have required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above, I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

2008-06-04tcp: Fix inconsistency source (CA_Open only when !tcp_left_out(tp))Ilpo Järvinen
It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions can easily cause this situation to occur. I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it likely involves some code shuffling). This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out miscount).

2008-05-21tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayedSridhar Samudrala
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits. The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits. I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel. In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset. At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets dst_cache entry remains NULL. So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu. Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

These devices use the private area of appropriate size for statistics. Turning them to use on-device ones make them "privless" and thus - really small wrt kmalloc cache, they are allocated from. Besides, code looks nicer, because of absence of multi-braced type casts and dereferences. [ Fix build failures -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-21ipmr: Ipip tunnel uses on-device stats.Pavel Emelyanov
The ipmr uses ipip tunnels for its purposes and updates the tunnels' stats, but the ipip driver is already switched to use on-device ones. Actually, this is a part of the patch #4 from this set. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-05-21ipgre: Use on-device stats instead of private ones.Pavel Emelyanov
Just switch from tunnel->stat to tunnel->dev->stats. The ip_tunnel->stat member itself will be removed after I fix its other users (very soon). Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
