| * | | | gro: Re-fix different skb headroomsJarek Poplawski2010-09-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch: "gro: fix different skb headrooms" in its part: "2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list" is buggy. The copied skb has p->data set at the ip header at the moment, and skb_gro_offset is the length of ip + tcp headers. So, after the change the length of mac header is skipped. Later skb_set_mac_header() sets it into the NET_SKB_PAD area (if it's long enough) and ip header is misaligned at NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN offset. There is no reason to assume the original skb was wrongly allocated, so let's copy it as it was. bugzilla : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16626 fixes commit: 3d3be4333fdf6faa080947b331a6a19bce1a4f57 Reported-by: Plamen Petrov <pvp-lsts@fs.uni-ruse.bg> Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> CC: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Tested-by: Plamen Petrov <pvp-lsts@fs.uni-ruse.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | | | UNIX: Do not loop forever at unix_autobind().Tetsuo Handa2010-09-071-3/+12

But unix_autobind() allows only 1048576 names. If /proc/sys/fs/file-max is larger than 1048576 (e.g. systems with more than 10GB of RAM), a local user can consume all names using fork()/socket()/bind(). If all names are in use, those who call bind() with addr_len == sizeof(short) or connect()/sendmsg() with setsockopt(SO_PASSCRED) will continue while (1) yield(); loop at unix_autobind() till a name becomes available. This patch adds a loop counter in order to give up after 1048576 attempts. Calling yield() for once per 256 attempts may not be sufficient when many names are already in use, for __unix_find_socket_byname() can take long time under such circumstance. Therefore, this patch also adds cond_resched() call. Note that currently a local user can consume 2GB of kernel memory if the user is allowed to create and autobind 1048576 UNIX domain sockets. We should consider adding some restriction for autobind operation. Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

However it also needs to call vortex_error() sometimes, and that uses the regular functions for access to windowed registers, which will try to acquire window_lock again. Therefore, drop window_lock around the call to vortex_error() and set the window afterward reacquiring the lock. Since vortex_error() may call vortex_rx(), which *does* require its caller to hold window_lock, lift that call up into vortex_interrupt(). This also removes the potential for calling vortex_rx() on a later-generation NIC.

| * | | | net: fix tx queue selection for bridged devices implementing select_queueHelmut Schaa2010-09-071-8/+8

The call to sk_tx_queue_get will then return the tx queue used by the bridge instead of calling the select_queue callback. In case of mac80211 this broke QoS which is implemented by using the select_queue callback. Furthermore it introduced problems with rt2x00 because frames with the same TID and RA sometimes appeared on different tx queues which the hw cannot handle correctly. Fix this by always calling select_queue first if it is available and only afterwards use the socket tx queue mapping. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Some of the variables (slave->jiffies, dev->trans_start, dev->last_rx) used by bonding store a copy of jiffies and may not be updated for a long time. With HZ=1000, time_before_eq()/time_after_eq() will start giving bad results after ~25 days. jiffies will never be before slave->jiffies, dev->trans_start, dev->last_rx by more than possibly a couple ticks caused by preemption of this code. This allows us to detect/prevent these overflows by replacing time_before_eq()/time_after_eq() with time_in_range().

This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion processing was being seen to slow everything down even further. By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue, they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

It runs uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL. Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending(). We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

There is already a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new points in the abstract sense. When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice. So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON. This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to create a crash pretty easily. Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a kernel problem.

It had bugs on the x86_64 architecture at the time, where it was called after CPU_ONLINE. The arches have since merged and the bug is gone. It might be noted other features should probably start making use of this callback; microcode updates in particular which might be fixing important erratums would be best applied before beginning to run user tasks.

Since dynamic trace event(kprobe_events) accepts special characters for its argument, its format can show those special characters (e.g. '$', '%', '+'). However, perf can't parse those format because of the character (especially '%') mess up the format. This sets "argX" name for those arguments if user omitted the argument names.
