ipvs: remove extra rcu lock

2013-03-19T12:21:52Z

In 3.7 we added code that uses ipv4_update_pmtu but after commit c5ae7d4192 (ipv4: must use rcu protection while calling fib_lookup) the RCU lock is not needed. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

ipvs: add backup_only flag to avoid loops

2013-03-19T12:21:51Z

Dmitry Akindinov is reporting for a problem where SYNs are looping between the master and backup server when the backup server is used as real server in DR mode and has IPVS rules to function as director. Even when the backup function is enabled we continue to forward traffic and schedule new connections when the current master is using the backup server as real server. While this is not a problem for NAT, for DR and TUN method the backup server can not determine if a request comes from client or from director. To avoid such loops add new sysctl flag backup_only. It can be needed for DR/TUN setups that do not need backup and director function at the same time. When the backup function is enabled we stop any forwarding and pass the traffic to the local stack (real server mode). The flag disables the director function when the backup function is enabled. For setups that enable backup function for some virtual services and director function for other virtual services there should be another more complex solution to support DR/TUN mode, may be to assign per-virtual service syncid value, so that we can differentiate the requests.

ipvs: fix sctp chunk length order

2013-03-19T00:37:27Z

Fix wrong but non-fatal access to chunk length. sch->length should be in network order, next chunk should be aligned to 4 bytes. Problem noticed in sparse output. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators

2013-02-28T03:10:24Z

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin Acked-by: Paul E.

net: proc: change proc_net_remove to remove_proc_entry

2013-02-18T19:53:08Z

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still need to call remove_proc_entry. this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove. we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

net: proc: change proc_net_fops_create to proc_create

2013-02-18T19:53:08Z

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create. It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove proc_net_fops_create after this patch. Signed-off-by: Gao feng Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.c The bnx2x gso_type setting bug fix in 'net' conflicted with changes in 'net-next' that broke the gso_* setting logic out into a seperate function, which also fixes the bug in question.

ipvs: sctp: fix checksumming on snat and dnat handlers

2013-02-06T00:56:50Z

In our test lab, we have a simple SCTP client connecting to a SCTP server via an IPVS load balancer. On some machines, load balancing works, but on others the initial handshake just fails, thus no SCTP connection whatsoever can be established! We observed that the SCTP INIT-ACK handshake reply from the IPVS machine to the client had a correct IP checksum, but corrupt SCTP checksum when forwarded, thus on the client-side the packet was dropped and an intial handshake retriggered until all attempts run into the void. To fix this issue, this patch i) adds a missing CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY after the full checksum (re-)calculation (as done in IPVS TCP and UDP code as well), ii) calculates the checksum in little-endian format (as fixed with the SCTP code in commit 4458f04c: sctp: Clean up sctp checksumming code) and iii) refactors duplicate checksum code into a common function. Tested by myself. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

net: remove redundant check for timer pending state before del_timer

2013-02-04T18:26:49Z

As in del_timer() there has already placed a timer_pending() function to check whether the timer to be deleted is pending or not, it's unnecessary to check timer pending state again before del_timer() is called. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Cc: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
