* ax25: Add missing dev_put in ax25_setsockoptRalf Baechle2009-09-281-9/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | ax25_setsockopt SO_BINDTODEVICE is missing a dev_put call in case of success. Re-order code to fix this bug.

* net: Move rx skb_orphan call to where neededHerbert Xu2009-06-231-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to get the tun driver to account packets, we need to be able to receive packets with destructors set. To be on the safe side, I added an skb_orphan call for all protocols by default since some of them (IP in particular) cannot handle receiving packets destructors properly. Now it seems that at least one protocol (CAN) expects to be able to pass skb->sk through the rx path without getting clobbered. So this patch attempts to fix this properly by moving the skb_orphan call to where it's actually needed. In particular, I've added it to skb_set_owner_[rw] which is what most users of skb->destructor call. This is actually an improvement for tun too since it means that we only give back the amount charged to the socket when the skb is passed to another socket that will also be charged accordingly.

* net: sk_wmem_alloc has initial value of one, not zeroEric Dumazet2009-06-171-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 2b85a34e911bf483c27cfdd124aeb1605145dc80 (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx) changed initial sk_wmem_alloc value. Some protocols check sk_wmem_alloc value to determine if a timer must delay socket deallocation. We must take care of the sk_wmem_alloc value being one instead of zero when no write allocations are pending. Reported by Ingo Molnar, and full diagnostic from David Miller. This patch introduces three helpers to get read/write allocations and a followup patch will use these helpers to report correct write allocations to user.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tihomir Heidelberg - 9a4gl, reports: -------------------- I would like to direct you attention to one problem existing in ax.25 kernel since 2.4. If listening socket is closed and its SKB queue is released but those sockets get weird. Those "unAccepted()" sockets should be destroyed in ax25_std_heartbeat_expiry, but it will not happen. And there is also a note about that in ax25_std_timer.c: /* Magic here: If we listen() and a new link dies before it is accepted() it isn't 'dead' so doesn't get removed. */ This issue cause ax25d to stop accepting new connections and I had to restarted ax25d approximately each day and my services were unavailable. Also netstat -n -l shows invalid source and device for those listening sockets. It is strange why ax25d's listening socket get weird because of this issue, but definitely when I solved this bug I do not have problems with ax25d anymore and my ax25d can run for months without problems. -------------------- Actually as far as I can see, this problem is even in releases as far back as 2.2.x as well. It seems senseless to special case this test on TCP_LISTEN state. Anything still stuck in state 0 has no external references and we can just simply kill it off directly. Signed-off-by: David S.

* ax25: Use sock_graft() and remove bogus sk_socket and sk_sleep init.David S. Miller2008-06-171-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The way that listening sockets work in ax25 is that the packet input code path creates new socks via ax25_make_new() and attaches them to the incoming SKB. This SKB gets queued up into the listening socket's receive queue. When accept()'d the sock gets hooked up to the real parent socket. Alternatively, if the listening socket is closed and released, any unborn socks stuff up in the receive queue get released. So during this time period these sockets are unreachable in any other way, so no wakeup events nor references to their ->sk_socket and ->sk_sleep members can occur. And even if they do, all such paths have to make NULL checks. So do not deceptively initialize them in ax25_make_new() to the values in the listening socket. Leave them at NULL. Finally, use sock_graft() in ax25_accept(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch Fixes it the simple way, so this is not fully compatible with the current method, but testing hasn't shown any problems.

But, since it's only for reading proc info it seems this is not necessary (e.g. ax25_send_to_raw() does similar reading without this lock too). So, this patch removes sock lock to avoid deadlock possibility; there is also used sock_i_ino() function, which reads sk_socket under proper read lock.

I don't know if this three-thread clutch is very probable (or possible at all), but it seems another bug reported by Bernard ("[...] system impossible to reboot with linux-2.6.24-rc5") could have similar source - namely ax25_list_lock held by ax25_kill_by_device() during ax25_disconnect(). It looks like the only place which calls ax25_disconnect() this way, so I guess, it isn't necessary. This patch is breaking the lock for ax25_disconnect().

* [AX25]: Locking dependencies fix in ax25_disconnect().Jarek Poplawski2007-12-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bernard Pidoux reported these lockdep warnings: [ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ] 2.6.23.1 #1 --------------------------------------------------------- fpac/4933 just changed the state of lock: (slock-AF_AX25){--..}, at: [<d8be3312>] ax25_disconnect+0x46/0xaf [ax25] but this lock was taken by another, soft-irq-safe lock in the past: (ax25_list_lock){-+..} and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. [...] [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.23.1 #1 --------------------------------- inconsistent {in-softirq-W} -> {softirq-on-W} usage. ax25_call/4005 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (slock-AF_AX25){-+..}, at: [<d8b79312>] ax25_disconnect+0x46/0xaf [ax25] [...] This means slock-AF_AX25 could be taken both from softirq and process context with softirqs enabled, so it's endangered itself, but also makes ax25_list_lock vulnerable. It was not 100% verified if the real lockup can happen, but this fix isn't very costly and looks safe anyway. (It was tested by Bernard with 2.6.23.9 and 2.6.24-rc5 kernels.)

* [NET]: Forget the zero_it argument of sk_alloc()Pavel Emelyanov2007-11-011-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Finally, the zero_it argument can be completely removed from the callers and from the function prototype. Besides, fix the checkpatch.pl warnings about using the assignments inside if-s. This patch is rather big, and it is a part of the previous one. I splitted it wishing to make the patches more readable. Hope this particular split helped. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safeEric W. Biederman2007-10-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Make packet reception network namespace safeEric W. Biederman2007-10-101-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies every packet receive function registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they are not from the initial network namespace. This should ensure that the various network stacks do not receive packets in a anything but the initial network namespace until the code has been converted and is ready for them.
