{pktgen, xfrm} Update IPv4 header total len and checksum after tranformation

2013-12-08T15:29:42Z

[ Upstream commit 3868204d6b89ea373a273e760609cb08020beb1a ] commit a553e4a6317b2cfc7659542c10fe43184ffe53da ("[PKTGEN]: IPSEC support") tried to support IPsec ESP transport transformation for pktgen, but acctually this doesn't work at all for two reasons(The orignal transformed packet has bad IPv4 checksum value, as well as wrong auth value, reported by wireshark) - After transpormation, IPv4 header total length needs update, because encrypted payload's length is NOT same as that of plain text. - After transformation, IPv4 checksum needs re-caculate because of payload has been changed. With this patch, armmed pktgen with below cofiguration, Wireshark is able to decrypted ESP packet generated by pktgen without any IPv4 checksum error or auth value error. pgset "flag IPSEC" pgset "flows 1" Signed-off-by: Fan Du Signed-off-by: David S.

net: core: Always propagate flag changes to interfaces

2013-12-08T15:29:42Z

[ Upstream commit d2615bf450694c1302d86b9cc8a8958edfe4c3a4 ] The following commit: b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7 net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP tried to fix a problem with VLAN devices and promiscuouse flag setting. The issue was that VLAN device was setting a flag on an interface that was down, thus resulting in bad promiscuity count. This commit blocked flag propagation to any device that is currently down. A later commit: deede2fabe24e00bd7e246eb81cd5767dc6fcfc7 vlan: Don't propagate flag changes on down interfaces fixed VLAN code to only propagate flags when the VLAN interface is up, thus fixing the same issue as above, only localized to VLAN. The problem we have now is that if we have create a complex stack involving multiple software devices like bridges, bonds, and vlans, then it is possible that the flags would not propagate properly to the physical devices. A simple examle of the scenario is the following: eth0----> bond0 ----> bridge0 ---> vlan50 If bond0 or eth0 happen to be down at the time bond0 is added to the bridge, then eth0 will never have promisc mode set which is currently required for operation as part of the bridge. As a result, packets with vlan50 will be dropped by the interface. The only 2 devices that implement the special flag handling are VLAN and DSA and they both have required code to prevent incorrect flag propagation. As a result we can remove the generic solution introduced in b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7 and leave it to the individual devices to decide whether they will block flag propagation or not.

net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

2013-12-08T15:29:41Z

[ Upstream commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c ] This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

net: Fix "ip rule delete table 256"

2013-12-08T15:29:41Z

[ Upstream commit 13eb2ab2d33c57ebddc57437a7d341995fc9138c ] When trying to delete a table >= 256 using iproute2 the local table will be deleted. The table id is specified as a netlink attribute when it needs more then 8 bits and iproute2 then sets the table field to RT_TABLE_UNSPEC (0). Preconditions to matching the table id in the rule delete code doesn't seem to take the "table id in netlink attribute" into condition so the frh_get_table helper function never gets to do its job when matching against current rule. Use the helper function twice instead of peaking at the table value directly.

[ Upstream commit 6f092343855a71e03b8d209815d8c45bf3a27fcd ] We don't validate iph->ihl which may lead a dead loop if we meet a IPIP skb whose iph->ihl is zero.

This is not a problem for TCP/UDP because port offset (@poff) is 0 for these protocols.

net: check net.core.somaxconn sysctl values

2013-09-14T13:02:08Z

[ Upstream commit 5f671d6b4ec3e6d66c2a868738af2cdea09e7509 ] It's possible to assign an invalid value to the net.core.somaxconn sysctl variable, because there is no checks at all. The sk_max_ack_backlog field of the sock structure is defined as unsigned short. Therefore, the backlog argument in inet_listen() shouldn't exceed USHRT_MAX. The backlog argument in the listen() syscall is truncated to the somaxconn value. So, the somaxconn value shouldn't exceed 65535 (USHRT_MAX). Also, negative values of somaxconn are meaningless. before: $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256 net.core.somaxconn = 256 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536 net.core.somaxconn = 65536 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100 net.core.somaxconn = -100 after: $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256 net.core.somaxconn = 256 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536 error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn" $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100 error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn" Based on a prior patch from Changli Gao.
