2008-12-29net: Fix percpu counters deadlockHerbert Xu
When we converted the protocol atomic counters such as the orphan count and the total socket count deadlocks were introduced due to the mismatch in BH status of the spots that used the percpu counter operations. Based on the diagnosis and patch by Peter Zijlstra, this patch fixes these issues by disabling BH where we may be in process context.

2008-12-29netns: foreach_netdev_safe is insufficient in default_device_exitEric W. Biederman
During network namespace teardown we either move or delete all of the network devices associated with a network namespace. In the case of veth devices deleting one will also delete it's pair device. If both devices are in the same network namespace then for_each_netdev_safe is insufficient as next may point to the second veth device we have deleted. To avoid problems I do what we do in __rtnl_kill_links and restart the scan of the device list, after we have deleted a device. Currently dev_change_netnamespace does not appear to suffer from this problem, but wireless devices are also paired and likely should be moved between network namespaces together. So I have errored on the side of caution and restart the scan of the network devices in that case as well. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-12-26net: Init NAPI dev_list on napi_delPeter P Waskiewicz Jr
The recent GRO patches introduced the NAPI removal of devices in free_netdev. For drivers that can change the number of queues during driver operation, the NAPI infrastructure doesn't allow the freeing and re-addition of NAPI entities without reloading the driver. This change reinitializes the dev_list in each NAPI struct on delete, instead of just deleting it (and assigning the list pointers to POISON). Drivers that wish to remove/re-add NAPI will need to re-initialize the netdev napi_list after removing all NAPI instances, before re-adding NAPI devices again.

2008-12-25tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxtHerbert Xu
Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the sequence number of a packet. This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification (though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible. Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up. Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data. Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet. The only potential downside is that applications on the remote end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since the signal itself does not carry any information other than the fact that we're in urgent mode.

2008-12-23rpc: add service field to new upcallOlga Kornievskaia
This patch extends the new upcall with a "service" field that currently can have 2 values: "*" or "nfs". These values specify matching rules for principals in the keytab file. The "*" means that gssd is allowed to use "root", "nfs", or "host" keytab entries while the other option requires "nfs". Restricting gssd to use the "nfs" principal is needed for when the server performs a callback to the client. The server in this case has to authenticate itself as an "nfs" principal. We also need "service" field to distiguish between two client-side cases both currently using a uid of 0: the case of regular file access by the root user, and the case of state-management calls (such as setclientid) which should use a keytab for authentication. (And the upcall should fail if an appropriate principal can't be found.) Signed-off: Olga Kornievskaia <aglo@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: J.

2008-12-23nfsd: pass client principal name in rsc downcallOlga Kornievskaia

Therefore we allow svcgssd to pass down the name of the principal that just authenticated, so that on setclientid we can store that principal name with the new client, to be used later on callbacks.

2008-12-23rpc: implement new upcall\"J. Bruce Fields\
Implement the new upcall. We decide which version of the upcall gssd will use (new or old), by creating both pipes (the new one named "gssd", the old one named after the mechanism (e.g., "krb5")), and then waiting to see which version gssd actually opens.

Introduce a global variable pipe_version which will eventually be used to keep track of which version of the upcall gssd is using. For now, though, it only keeps track of whether any pipe is open or not; it is negative if not, zero if one is opened. We use this to wait for the first gssd to open a pipe. (Minor digression: note this waits only for the very first open of any pipe, not for the first open of a pipe for a given auth; thus we still need the RPC_PIPE_WAIT_FOR_OPEN behavior to wait for gssd to open new pipes that pop up on subsequent mounts.)

I can't see any reason we need to call this until either the kernel or the last gssd closes the pipe. Also, this allows to guarantee that open_pipe and release_pipe are called strictly in pairs; open_pipe on gssd's first open, release_pipe on gssd's last close (or on the close of the kernel side of the pipe, if that comes first).

2008-12-23rpc: add an rpc_pipe_open method\"J. Bruce Fields\
We want to transition to a new gssd upcall which is text-based and more easily extensible. To simplify upgrades, as well as testing and debugging, it will help if we can upgrade gssd (to a version which understands the new upcall) without having to choose at boot (or module-load) time whether we want the new or the old upcall. We will do this by providing two different pipes: one named, as currently, after the mechanism (normally "krb5"), and supporting the old upcall. One named "gssd" and supporting the new upcall version. We allow gssd to indicate which version it supports by its choice of which pipe to open. As we have no interest in supporting *simultaneous* use of both versions, we'll forbid opening both pipes at the same time. So, add a new pipe_open callback to the rpc_pipefs api, which the gss code can use to track which pipes have been open, and to refuse opens of incompatible pipes. We only need this to be called on the first open of a given pipe. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-12-23sunrpc: fix code that makes auth_gss send destroy_cred message (try #2)Jeff Layton
There's a bit of a chicken and egg problem when it comes to destroying auth_gss credentials. When we destroy the last instance of a GSSAPI RPC credential, we should send a NULL RPC call with a GSS procedure of RPCSEC_GSS_DESTROY to hint to the server that it can destroy those creds. This isn't happening because we're setting clearing the uptodate bit on the credentials and then setting the operations to the gss_nullops. When we go to do the RPC call, we try to refresh the creds. That fails with -EACCES and the call fails. Fix this by not clearing the UPTODATE bit for the credentials and adding a new crdestroy op for gss_nullops that just tears down the cred without trying to destroy the context. The only difference between this patch and the first one is the removal of some minor formatting deltas.

2008-12-23optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"Peter Staubach
Hi. I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0" mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out. (With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always appear to be timed out.) In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The cache should be considered valid only in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally expected. This problem was previously addressed by special casing the attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off- by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one error and thus, not require the special case.
