af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group

2012-10-02T17:38:54Z

[ Upstream commit c0de08d04215031d68fa13af36f347a6cfa252ca ] If a packet is emitted on one socket in one group of fanout sockets, it is transmitted again. It is thus read again on one of the sockets of the fanout group. This result in a loop for software which generate packets when receiving one. This retransmission is not the intended behavior: a fanout group must behave like a single socket. The packet should not be transmitted on a socket if it originates from a socket belonging to the same fanout group. This patch fixes the issue by changing the transmission check to take fanout group info account. Reported-by: Aleksandr Kotov Signed-off-by: Eric Leblond Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: Apply device TSO segment limit earlier

[ Upstream commit 1485348d2424e1131ea42efc033cbd9366462b01 ] Cache the device gso_max_segs in sock::sk_gso_max_segs and use it to limit the size of TSO skbs.

net: Allow driver to limit number of GSO segments per skb

2012-10-02T17:38:39Z

[ Upstream commit 30b678d844af3305cda5953467005cebb5d7b687 ] A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough, it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments. In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Therefore: 1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific limit. 2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.

net: fix rtnetlink IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI handling

2012-08-09T15:23:13Z

[ Upstream commit b1beb681cba5358f62e6187340660ade226a5fcc ] When device flags are set using rtnetlink, IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI flags are handled specially. Function dev_change_flags sets IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI bits in dev->gflags according to the passed value but do_setlink passes a result of rtnl_dev_combine_flags which takes those bits from dev->flags. This can be easily trigerred by doing: tcpdump -i eth0 & ip l s up eth0 ip sets IFF_UP flag in ifi_flags and ifi_change, which is combined with IFF_PROMISC by rtnl_dev_combine_flags, causing __dev_change_flags to set IFF_PROMISC in gflags.

net: cgroup: fix access the unallocated memory in netprio cgroup

2012-07-17T06:00:43Z

there are some out of bound accesses in netprio cgroup. now before accessing the dev->priomap.priomap array,we only check if the dev->priomap exist.and because we don't want to see additional bound checkings in fast path, so we should make sure that dev->priomap is null or array size of dev->priomap.priomap is equal to max_prioidx + 1; so in write_priomap logic,we should call extend_netdev_table when dev->priomap is null and dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len. and in cgrp_create->update_netdev_tables logic,we should call extend_netdev_table only when dev->priomap exist and dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len. and it's not needed to call update_netdev_tables in write_priomap, we can only allocate the net device's priomap which we change through net_prio.ifpriomap. this patch also add a return value for update_netdev_tables & extend_netdev_table, so when new_priomap is allocated failed, write_priomap will stop to access the priomap,and return -ENOMEM back to the userspace to tell the user what happend. Change From v3: 1. add rtnl protect when reading max_prioidx in write_priomap. 2. only call extend_netdev_table when map->priomap_len < max_len, this will make sure array size of dev->map->priomap always bigger than any prioidx. 3. add a function write_update_netdev_table to make codes clear. Change From v2: 1. protect extend_netdev_table by RTNL. 2. when extend_netdev_table failed,call dev_put to reduce device's refcount.

net: cgroup: fix out of bounds accesses

2012-07-09T21:50:54Z

dev->priomap is allocated by extend_netdev_table() called from update_netdev_tables(). And this is only called if write_priomap() is called. But if write_priomap() is not called, it seems we can have out of bounds accesses in cgrp_destroy(), read_priomap() & skb_update_prio() With help from Gao Feng Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Neil Horman Cc: Gao feng Acked-by: Gao feng Signed-off-by: David S.
