| | | | | | | | | | Commit ac45f602ee3d1b6f326f68bc0c2591ceebf05ba4 ("net: infrastructure for hardware time stamping") added two skb initialization actions to __alloc_skb(), which need to be added to skb_recycle_check() as well.

* net: Fix skb_tx_hash() for forwarding workloads.Eric Dumazet2009-05-011-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When skb_rx_queue_recorded() is true, we dont want to use jash distribution as the device driver exactly told us which queue was selected at RX time. jhash makes a statistical shuffle, but this wont work with 8 static inputs. Later improvements would be to compute reciprocal value of real_num_tx_queues to avoid a divide here. But this computation should be done once, when real_num_tx_queues is set. This needs a separate patch, and a new field in struct net_device. Reported-by: Andrew Dickinson <andrew@whydna.net> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()Eric Dumazet2009-04-281-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting. This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket. Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep again as event was meaningless. (All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor) This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler. Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit 37e5540b3c9d838eb20f2ca8ea2eb8072271e403 epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups) Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate handler. This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread blocked in this function. Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is : __kfree_skb() skb_release_head_state() sock_wfree() sock_def_write_space() __wake_up_sync_key() __wake_up_common() receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT Reported-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.Jarek Poplawski2009-04-201-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alex Sidorenko reported: "while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some hosts but not on others. After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That is: - if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected - if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay" This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit() on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active. Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host, tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the outside.

These days most of these packets are constructed by the tun driver, which prefers to allocate linear memory if possible. This is fixed in the latest kernel, but for 2.6.29 and earlier it is still the norm. Therefore this bug causes failures with GSO when used with tun in 2.6.29.

Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I fixed the GRO crash in the legacy receive path I used napi_complete to replace __napi_complete. Unfortunately they're not the same when NETPOLL is enabled, which may result in us not calling __napi_complete at all. What's more, we really do need to keep the __napi_complete call within the IRQ-off section since in theory an IRQ can occur in between and fill up the backlog to the maximum, causing us to lock up. Since we can't seem to find a fix that works properly right now, this patch reverts all the GRO support from the netif_rx path.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As my netpoll fix for net doesn't really work for net-next, we need this update to move the checks into the right place. As it stands we may pass freed skbs to netpoll_receive_skb. This patch also introduces a netpoll_rx_on function to avoid GRO completely if we're invoked through netpoll. This might seem paranoid but as netpoll may have an external receive hook it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't think we need this for 2.6.29 though since there's nothing immediately broken by it. This patch also moves the GRO_* return values to netdevice.h since VLAN needs them too (I tried to avoid this originally but alas this seems to be the easiest way out). This fixes a bug in VLAN where it continued to use the old return value 2 instead of the correct GRO_DROP. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll. Unfortunately it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry points. The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird problems. This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points. I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code). The reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.

* | netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso2009-02-243-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

| * net: amend the fix for SO_BSDCOMPAT gsopt infoleakEugene Teo2009-02-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fix for CVE-2009-0676 (upstream commit df0bca04) is incomplete. Note that the same problem of leaking kernel memory will reappear if someone on some architecture uses struct timeval with some internal padding (for example tv_sec 64-bit and tv_usec 32-bit) --- then, you are going to leak the padded bytes to userspace.
