2006-08-02[IPV6]: SNMPv2 "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates" counter errorWei Dong
When I tested linux kernel 2.6.71.7 about statistics "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates", and found that it couldn't increase correctly. The criteria is RFC 2465: ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Counter32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of output datagram fragments that have been generated as a result of fragmentation at this output interface." ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 15 } I think there are two issues in Linux kernel. 1st: RFC2465 specifies the counter is "The number of output datagram fragments...". I think increasing this counter after output a fragment successfully is better. And it should not be increased even though a fragment is created but failed to output. 2nd: If we send a big ICMP/ICMPv6 echo request to a host, and receive ICMP/ICMPv6 echo reply consisted of some fragments. As we know that in Linux kernel first fragmentation occurs in ICMP layer(maybe saying transport layer is better), but this is not the "real" fragmentation,just do some "pre-fragment" -- allocate space for date, and form a frag_list, etc. The "real" fragmentation happens in IP layer -- set offset and MF flag and so on. So I think in "fast path" for ip_fragment/ip6_fragment, if we send a fragment which "pre-fragment" by upper layer we should also increase "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates".

2006-08-02[IPV6]: Audit all ip6_dst_lookup/ip6_dst_store callsHerbert Xu
The current users of ip6_dst_lookup can be divided into two classes: 1) The caller holds no locks and is in user-context (UDP). 2) The caller does not want to lookup the dst cache at all. The second class covers everyone except UDP because most people do the cache lookup directly before calling ip6_dst_lookup. This patch adds ip6_sk_dst_lookup for the first class. Similarly ip6_dst_store users can be divded into those that need to take the socket dst lock and those that don't. This patch adds __ip6_dst_store for those (everyone except UDP/datagram) that don't need an extra lock. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-07-12[IPCOMP]: Fix truesize after decompressionHerbert Xu
The truesize check has uncovered the fact that we forgot to update truesize after pskb_expand_head. Unfortunately pskb_expand_head can't update it for us because it's used in all sorts of different contexts, some of which would not allow truesize to be updated by itself. So the solution for now is to simply update it in IPComp. This patch also changes skb_put to __skb_put since we've just expanded tailroom by exactly that amount so we know it's there (but gcc does not).

2006-06-30[IPV6]: Added GSO support for TCPv6Herbert Xu
This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>. His original description is: This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from "dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction. This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6 will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO. In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't get TSO packets created by TCP layer. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet. SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature. UFO is supported over IPv6 also The following table shows there is significant improvement in throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo. -------------------------------------------------- | | 1500 | 9600 | | ------------------|-------------------| | | thru CPU | thru CPU | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO OFF | 2.00 5.5% id | 5.66 20.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO ON | 2.63 78.0 id | 5.67 39.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

All the standard networking utilities that display socket info like netstat, ss and /proc/net/tcp have 2 fields called rx_queue and tx_queue. These fields do not mean much for listening sockets.

It also updates the SELinux implementation of the security_netlink_send and security_netlink_recv hooks to take advantage of the sid in the netlink_skb_params struct.

2006-06-23[IPSEC]: Handle GSO packetsHerbert Xu
This patch segments GSO packets received by the IPsec stack. This can happen when a NIC driver injects GSO packets into the stack which are then forwarded to another host. The primary application of this is going to be Xen where its backend driver may inject GSO packets into dom0. Of course this also can be used by other virtualisation schemes such as VMWare or UML since the tap device could be modified to inject GSO packets received through splice.

2006-06-23[NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buffHerbert Xu
Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So let's merge them. They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features field. I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type (e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features. For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need to be emulated in software. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but is more general. Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that. Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's either non-linear or cloned. Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Now that we have xfrm_mode objects we can move the transport mode specific input decapsulation code into xfrm_mode_transport. This removes duplicate code as well as unnecessary header movement in case of tunnel mode SAs since we will discard the original IP header immediately. This also fixes a minor bug for transport-mode ESP where the IP payload length is set to the correct value minus the header length (with extension headers for IPv6). Of course the other neat thing is that we no longer have to allocate temporary buffers to hold the IP headers for ESP and IPComp.

2006-06-17[IPSEC] xfrm: Undo afinfo lock proliferationHerbert Xu
The number of locks used to manage afinfo structures can easily be reduced down to one each for policy and state respectively. This is based on the observation that the write locks are only held by module insertion/removal which are very rare events so there is no need to further differentiate between the insertion of modules like ipv6 versus esp6. The removal of the read locks in xfrm4_policy.c/xfrm6_policy.c might look suspicious at first. However, after you realise that nobody ever takes the corresponding write lock you'll feel better :) As far as I can gather it's an attempt to guard against the removal of the corresponding modules. Since neither module can be unloaded at all we can leave it to whoever fixes up IPv6 unloading :) Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

If the check below (t->private->number != paddc->num_counters) nevertheless passes (perhaps this requires the race condition to be triggered), IPT_ENTRY_ITERATE() would read kernel memory beyond the allocation size, potentially causing an oops or leaking sensitive data (e.g., passwords from host system or from another VPS) via counter increments. This requires CAP_NET_ADMIN.
