ip_tunnel: fix kernel panic with icmp_dest_unreach

2013-06-27T17:34:32Z

[ Upstream commit a622260254ee481747cceaaa8609985b29a31565 ] Daniel Petre reported crashes in icmp_dst_unreach() with following call graph: Daniel found a similar problem mentioned in http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1007.0/00961.html And indeed this is the root cause : skb->cb[] contains data fooling IP stack. We must clear IPCB in ip_tunnel_xmit() sooner in case dst_link_failure() is called. Or else skb->cb[] might contain garbage from GSO segmentation layer. A similar fix was tested on linux-3.9, but gre code was refactored in linux-3.10. I'll send patches for stable kernels as well. Many thanks to Daniel for providing reports, patches and testing !

tcp: xps: fix reordering issues

[ Upstream commit 547669d483e5783d722772af1483fa474da7caf9 ] commit 3853b5841c01a ("xps: Improvements in TX queue selection") introduced ooo_okay flag, but the condition to set it is slightly wrong. In our traces, we have seen ACK packets being received out of order, and RST packets sent in response. We should test if we have any packets still in host queue.

net: drop dst before queueing fragments

2013-05-01T15:56:40Z

[ Upstream commit 97599dc792b45b1669c3cdb9a4b365aad0232f65 ] Commit 4a94445c9a5c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path) added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, as non refcounted dst could escape an RCU protected section. Commit 64f3b9e203bd068 (net: ip_expire() must revalidate route) fixed the case of timeouts, but not the general problem. Tom Parkin noticed crashes in UDP stack and provided a patch, but further analysis permitted us to pinpoint the root cause. Before queueing a packet into a frag list, we must drop its dst, as this dst has limited lifetime (RCU protected) When/if a packet is finally reassembled, we use the dst of the very last skb, still protected by RCU and valid, as the dst of the reassembled packet. Use same logic in IPv6, as there is no need to hold dst references. Reported-by: Tom Parkin Tested-by: Tom Parkin Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: call tcp_replace_ts_recent() from tcp_ack()

2013-05-01T15:56:38Z

[ Upstream commit 12fb3dd9dc3c64ba7d64cec977cca9b5fb7b1d4e ] commit bd090dfc634d (tcp: tcp_replace_ts_recent() should not be called from tcp_validate_incoming()) introduced a TS ecr bug in slow path processing. 1 A > B P. 1:10001(10000) ack 1 2 B < A . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 3 A > B . 1:1001(1000) ack 1 win 227 4 A > B . 1001:2001(1000) ack 1 win 227 (ecr 200 should be ecr 300 in packets 3 & 4) Problem is tcp_ack() can trigger send of new packets (retransmits), reflecting the prior TSval, instead of the TSval contained in the currently processed incoming packet. Fix this by calling tcp_replace_ts_recent() from tcp_ack() after the checks, but before the actions.

tcp: undo spurious timeout after SACK reneging

[ Upstream commit 7ebe183c6d444ef5587d803b64a1f4734b18c564 ] On SACK reneging the sender immediately retransmits and forces a timeout but disables Eifel (undo).

tcp: preserve ACK clocking in TSO

inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket lists

2013-03-28T19:05:59Z

[ Upstream commit 5a3da1fe9561828d0ca7eca664b16ec2b9bf0055 ] This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu. If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed. This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish between the different users of inet_fragment.c. I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path, because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.
