2009-09-24tunnel: eliminate recursion fieldEric Dumazet
It seems recursion field from "struct ip_tunnel" is not anymore needed. recursion prevention is done at the upper level (in dev_queue_xmit()), since we use HARD_TX_LOCK protection for tunnels. This avoids a cache line ping pong on "struct ip_tunnel" : This structure should be now mostly read on xmit and receive paths.

2009-09-15bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()Moni Shoua
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses. This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks: *. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat) and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. *. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing table, which might be unnecessary. The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

2009-09-03ipv6: Fix tcp_v6_send_response(): it didn't set skb transport headerCosmin Ratiu
Here is a patch which fixes an issue observed when using TCP over IPv6 and AH from IPsec. When a connection gets closed the 4-way method and the last ACK from the server gets dropped, the subsequent FINs from the client do not get ACKed because tcp_v6_send_response does not set the transport header pointer. This causes ah6_output to try to allocate a lot of memory, which typically fails, so the ACKs never make it out of the stack. I have reproduced the problem on kernel 2.6.7, but after looking at the latest kernel it seems the problem is still there. Signed-off-by: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-09-02tcp: replace hard coded GFP_KERNEL with sk_allocationWu Fengguang
This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress memory tests over NFS: inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage. page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock => tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim David raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting for the allocation to succeed. But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could loop endlessly under memory pressure.

2009-09-02ip: Report qdisc packet dropsEric Dumazet
Christoph Lameter pointed out that packet drops at qdisc level where not accounted in SNMP counters. Only if application sets IP_RECVERR, drops are reported to user (-ENOBUFS errors) and SNMP counters updated. IP_RECVERR is used to enable extended reliable error message passing, but these are not needed to update system wide SNMP stats. This patch changes things a bit to allow SNMP counters to be updated, regardless of IP_RECVERR being set or not on the socket. Example after an UDP tx flood # netstat -s ... IP: 1487048 outgoing packets dropped ... Udp: ... SndbufErrors: 1487048 send() syscalls, do however still return an OK status, to not break applications. Note : send() manual page explicitly says for -ENOBUFS error : "The output queue for a network interface was full. This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending, but may be caused by transient congestion. (Normally, this does not occur in Linux. Packets are just silently dropped when a device queue overflows.) " This is not true for IP_RECVERR enabled sockets : a send() syscall that hit a qdisc drop returns an ENOBUFS error.

2009-08-29ipv6: Update Neighbor Cache when IPv6 RA is received on a routerDavid Ward
When processing a received IPv6 Router Advertisement, the kernel creates or updates an IPv6 Neighbor Cache entry for the sender -- but presently this does not occur if IPv6 forwarding is enabled (net.ipv6.conf.*.forwarding = 1), or if IPv6 Router Advertisements are not accepted (net.ipv6.conf.*.accept_ra = 0), because in these cases processing of the Router Advertisement has already halted. This patch allows the Neighbor Cache to be updated in these cases, while still avoiding any modification to routes or link parameters. This continues to satisfy RFC 4861, since any entry created in the Neighbor Cache as the result of a received Router Advertisement is still placed in the STALE state.

2009-08-28sit: allow ip fragmentation when using nopmtudisc to fix package lossSascha Hlusiak
if tunnel parameters have frag_off set to IP_DF, pmtudisc on the ipv4 link will be performed by deriving the mtu from the ipv4 link and setting the DF-Flag of the encapsulating IPv4 Header. If fragmentation is needed on the way, the IPv4 pmtu gets adjusted, the ipv6 package will be resent eventually, using the new and lower mtu and everyone is happy. If the frag_off parameter is unset, the mtu for the tunnel will be derived from the tunnel device or the ipv6 pmtu, which might be higher than the ipv4 pmtu. In that case we must allow the fragmentation of the IPv4 packet because the IPv6 mtu wouldn't 'learn' from the adjusted IPv4 pmtu, resulting in frequent icmp_frag_needed and package loss on the IPv6 layer. This patch allows fragmentation when tunnel was created with parameter nopmtudisc, like in ipip/gre tunnels. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hlusiak <contact@saschahlusiak.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-08-13inet6: Set default traffic classGerrit Renker
This patch addresses: * assigning -1 to np->tclass as it is currently done is not very meaningful, since it turns into 0xff; * RFC 3542, 6.5 allows -1 for clearing the sticky IPV6_TCLASS option and specifies -1 to mean "use kernel default": - RFC 2460, 7. requires that the default traffic class must be zero for all 8 bits, - this is consistent with RFC 2474, 4.1 which recommends a default PHB of 0, in combination with a value of the ECN field of "non-ECT" (RFC 3168, 5.). This patch changes the meaning of -1 from assigning 255 to mean the RFC 2460 default, which at the same time allows to satisfy clearing the sticky TCLASS option as per RFC 3542, 6.5.

2009-07-30xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_threshNeil Horman
Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values (set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical. This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as the routing table can. For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 * gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size. For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size, but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4 code does).

2009-07-27xfrm: export xfrm garbage collector thresholds via sysctlNeil Horman
Export garbage collector thresholds for xfrm[4|6]_dst_ops Had a problem reported to me recently in which a high volume of ipsec connections on a system began reporting ENOBUFS for new connections eventually. It seemed that after about 2000 connections we started being unable to create more. A quick look revealed that the xfrm code used a dst_ops structure that limited the gc_thresh value to 1024, and always dropped route cache entries after 2x the gc_thresh. It seems the most direct solution is to export the gc_thresh values in the xfrm[4|6] dst_ops as sysctls, like the main routing table does, so that higher volumes of connections can be supported. This patch has been tested and allows the reporter to increase their ipsec connection volume successfully.
