2009-07-09net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacksJiri Olsa
Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper to wrap the memory barrier. Without the memory barrier, following race can happen. The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches. CPU1 CPU2 sys_select receive packet ... ... __add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt ... ... tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable ... { schedule ... if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep)) wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep) ... } If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and rcv_nxt are opposit to each other. Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask. In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1. The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the socket. Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited: net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c net/irda/af_irda.c net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c net/mac80211/rc80211_pid_debugfs.c net/phonet/socket.c net/rds/af_rds.c net/rfkill/core.c net/sunrpc/cache.c net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c net/tipc/socket.c Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-07-08netpoll: Fix carrier detection for drivers that are using phylibAnton Vorontsov
Using early netconsole and gianfar driver this error pops up: netconsole: timeout waiting for carrier It appears that net/core/netpoll.c:netpoll_setup() is using cond_resched() in a loop waiting for a carrier. The thing is that cond_resched() is a no-op when system_state != SYSTEM_RUNNING, and so drivers/net/phy/phy.c's state_queue is never scheduled, therefore link detection doesn't work. I belive that the main problem is in cond_resched()[1], but despite how the cond_resched() story ends, it might be a good idea to call msleep(1) instead of cond_resched(), as suggested by Andrew Morton.

2009-07-08netpoll: Introduce netpoll_carrier_timeout kernel optionAnton Vorontsov
Some PHYs require longer timeouts for carrier detection, and auto-negotiation process may take indefinite amount of time. It may be inconvenient to force longer timeouts for sane PHYs, so let's introduce a kernel command line option. Since we're using module_param(), the option also can be changed in runtime.

It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost of a minimally longer searching. This patch restores values before the patch "[IPV4]: fib_trie root node settings", commit: 965ffea43d4ebe8cd7b9fee78d651268dd7d23c5 from v2.6.22.

So, until memory handling is improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this patch resets to safer defaults.

2009-07-03IPv6: preferred lifetime of address not getting updatedBrian Haley
There's a bug in addrconf_prefix_rcv() where it won't update the preferred lifetime of an IPv6 address if the current valid lifetime of the address is less than 2 hours (the minimum value in the RA). For example, If I send a router advertisement with a prefix that has valid lifetime = preferred lifetime = 2 hours we'll build this address: 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 7175sec preferred_lft 7175sec If I then send the same prefix with valid lifetime = preferred lifetime = 0 it will be ignored since the minimum valid lifetime is 2 hours: 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 7161sec preferred_lft 7161sec But according to RFC 4862 we should always reset the preferred lifetime even if the valid lifetime is invalid, which would cause the address to immediately get deprecated. So with this patch we'd see this: 5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:21f:29ff:fe5a:ef04/64 scope global deprecated dynamic valid_lft 7163sec preferred_lft 0sec The comment winds-up being 5x the size of the code to fix the problem. Update the preferred lifetime of IPv6 addresses derived from a prefix info option in a router advertisement even if the valid lifetime in the option is invalid, as specified in RFC 4862 Section 5.5.3e. Fixes an issue where an address will not immediately become deprecated. Reported by Jens Rosenboom. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-06-30Revert "ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verification"Eric W. Biederman
This reverts commit 73ce7b01b4496a5fbf9caf63033c874be692333f. After discovering that we don't listen to gratuitious arps in 2.6.30 I tracked the failure down to this commit. The patch makes absolutely no sense. RFC2131 RFC3927 and RFC5227. are all in agreement that an arp request with sip == 0 should be used for the probe (to prevent learning) and an arp request with sip == tip should be used for the gratitous announcement that people can learn from. It appears the author of the broken patch got those two cases confused and modified the code to drop all gratuitous arp traffic. Ouch! Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-06-29tcp: Do not tack on TSO data to non-TSO packetHerbert Xu
If a socket starts out on a non-TSO route, and then switches to a TSO route, then we will tack on data to the tail of the tx queue even if it started out life as non-TSO. This is suboptimal because all of it will then be copied and checksummed unnecessarily. This patch fixes this by ensuring that skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL before appending extra data beyond the MSS.

2009-06-29tcp: Stop non-TSO packets morphing into TSOHerbert Xu
If a socket starts out on a non-TSO route, and then switches to a TSO route, then the tail on the tx queue can morph into a TSO packet, causing mischief because the rest of the stack does not expect a partially linear TSO packet. This patch fixes this by ensuring that skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL before declaring a packet as TSO.

2009-06-29netfilter: tcp conntrack: fix unacknowledged data detection with NATPatrick McHardy
When NAT helpers change the TCP packet size, the highest seen sequence number needs to be corrected. This is currently only done upwards, when the packet size is reduced the sequence number is unchanged. This causes TCP conntrack to falsely detect unacknowledged data and decrease the timeout. Fix by updating the highest seen sequence number in both directions after packet mangling. Tested-by: Krzysztof Piotr Oledzki <ole@ans.pl> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2009-06-26gro: Flush GRO packets in napi_disable_pending pathHerbert Xu
When NAPI is disabled while we're in net_rx_action, we end up calling __napi_complete without flushing GRO packets. This is a bug as it would cause the GRO packets to linger, of course it also literally BUGs to catch error like this :) This patch changes it to napi_complete, with the obligatory IRQ reenabling. This should be safe because we've only just disabled IRQs and it does not materially affect the test conditions in between.

2009-06-25nf_conntrack: Use rcu_barrier()Jesper Dangaard Brouer
RCU barriers, rcu_barrier(), is inserted two places. In nf_conntrack_expect.c nf_conntrack_expect_fini() before the kmem_cache_destroy(). Firstly to make sure the callback to the nf_ct_expect_free_rcu() code is still around. Secondly because I'm unsure about the consequence of having in flight nf_ct_expect_free_rcu/kmem_cache_free() calls while doing a kmem_cache_destroy() slab destroy. And in nf_conntrack_extend.c nf_ct_extend_unregister(), inorder to wait for completion of callbacks to __nf_ct_ext_free_rcu(), which is invoked by __nf_ct_ext_add(). It might be more efficient to call rcu_barrier() in nf_conntrack_core.c nf_conntrack_cleanup_net(), but thats make it more difficult to read the code (as the callback code in located in nf_conntrack_extend.c).
