Revert "bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received"

2013-10-22T18:41:02Z

While this commit was a good attempt to fix issues occuring when no multicast querier is present, this commit still has two more issues: 1) There are cases where mdb entries do not expire even if there is a querier present. The bridge will unnecessarily continue flooding multicast packets on the according ports. 2) Never removing an mdb entry could be exploited for a Denial of Service by an attacker on the local link, slowly, but steadily eating up all memory. Actually, this commit became obsolete with "bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (b00589af3b) which included fixes for a few more cases. Therefore reverting the following commits (the commit stated in the commit message plus three of its follow up fixes): ==================== Revert "bridge: update mdb expiration timer upon reports." This reverts commit f144febd93d5ee534fdf23505ab091b2b9088edc. Revert "bridge: do not call setup_timer() multiple times" This reverts commit 1faabf2aab1fdaa1ace4e8c829d1b9cf7bfec2f1. Revert "bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer" This reverts commit c7e8e8a8f7a70b343ca1e0f90a31e35ab2d16de1. Revert "bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received" This reverts commit 9f00b2e7cf241fa389733d41b615efdaa2cb0f5b. ==================== CC: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing Reviewed-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: initialize passive-side sk_pacing_rate after 3WHS

2013-10-21T22:56:23Z

For passive TCP connections, upon receiving the ACK that completes the 3WHS, make sure we set our pacing rate after we get our first RTT sample. On passive TCP connections, when we receive the ACK completing the 3WHS we do not take an RTT sample in tcp_ack(), but rather in tcp_synack_rtt_meas(). So upon receiving the ACK that completes the 3WHS, tcp_ack() leaves sk_pacing_rate at its initial value. Originally the initial sk_pacing_rate value was 0, so passive-side connections defaulted to sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs (2 segs) in skbuffs made in the first RTT. With a default initial cwnd of 10 packets, this happened to be correct for RTTs 5ms or bigger, so it was hard to see problems in WAN or emulated WAN testing. Since 7eec4174ff ("pkt_sched: fq: fix non TCP flows pacing"), the initial sk_pacing_rate is 0xffffffff. So after that change, passive TCP connections were keeping this value (and using large numbers of segments per skbuff) until receiving an ACK for data.

ipv6: probe routes asynchronous in rt6_probe

2013-10-21T22:56:22Z

Routes need to be probed asynchronous otherwise the call stack gets exhausted when the kernel attemps to deliver another skb inline, like e.g. xt_TEE does, and we probe at the same time. We update neigh->updated still at once, otherwise we would send to many probes. Cc: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix rt6i_gateway checks for H.323 helper

2013-10-21T22:37:01Z

Now when rt6_nexthop() can return nexthop address we can use it for proper nexthop comparison of directly connected destinations. For more information refer to commit bbb5823cf742a7 ("netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix rt_gateway checks for H.323 helper").

ipv6: fill rt6i_gateway with nexthop address

2013-10-21T22:37:01Z

Make sure rt6i_gateway contains nexthop information in all routes returned from lookup or when routes are directly attached to skb for generated ICMP packets. The effect of this patch should be a faster version of rt6_nexthop() and the consideration of local addresses as nexthop.

ip_output: do skb ufo init for peeked non ufo skb as well

2013-10-19T23:20:52Z

Now, if user application does: sendto lenmtu flag 0 The skb is not treated as fragmented one because it is not initialized that way. So move the initialization to fix this. introduced by: commit e89e9cf539a28df7d0eb1d0a545368e9920b34ac "[IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approach" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

udp6: respect IPV6_DONTFRAG sockopt in case there are pending frames

2013-10-19T23:20:52Z

if up->pending != 0 dontfrag is left with default value -1. That causes that application that do: sendto len>mtu flag MSG_MORE sendto len>mtu flag 0 will receive EMSGSIZE errno as the result of the second sendto. This patch fixes it by respecting IPV6_DONTFRAG socket option. introduced by: commit 4b340ae20d0e2366792abe70f46629e576adaf5e "IPv6: Complete IPV6_DONTFRAG support" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

net: unix: inherit SOCK_PASS{CRED, SEC} flags from socket to fix race

2013-10-19T22:50:15Z

In the case of credentials passing in unix stream sockets (dgram sockets seem not affected), we get a rather sparse race after commit 16e5726 ("af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default"). We have a stream server on receiver side that requests credential passing from senders (e.g. nc -U). Since we need to set SO_PASSCRED on each spawned/accepted socket on server side to 1 first (as it's not inherited), it can happen that in the time between accept() and setsockopt() we get interrupted, the sender is being scheduled and continues with passing data to our receiver. At that time SO_PASSCRED is neither set on sender nor receiver side, hence in cmsg's SCM_CREDENTIALS we get eventually pid:0, uid:65534, gid:65534 (== overflow{u,g}id) instead of what we actually would like to see. On the sender side, here nc -U, the tests in maybe_add_creds() invoked through unix_stream_sendmsg() would fail, as at that exact time, as mentioned, the sender has neither SO_PASSCRED on his side nor sees it on the server side, and we have a valid 'other' socket in place. Thus, sender believes it would just look like a normal connection, not needing/requesting SO_PASSCRED at that time. As reverting 16e5726 would not be an option due to the significant performance regression reported when having creds always passed, one way/trade-off to prevent that would be to set SO_PASSCRED on the listener socket and allow inheriting these flags to the spawned socket on server side in accept(). It seems also logical to do so if we'd tell the listener socket to pass those flags onwards, and would fix the race. Before, strace: recvmsg(4, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"blub\n", 4096}], msg_controllen=32, {cmsg_len=28, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type=SCM_CREDENTIALS{pid=0, uid=65534, gid=65534}}, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 5 After, strace: recvmsg(4, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"blub\n", 4096}], msg_controllen=32, {cmsg_len=28, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type=SCM_CREDENTIALS{pid=11580, uid=1000, gid=1000}}, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 5 Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: Eric W.

bridge: Fix updating FDB entries when the PVID is applied

2013-10-18T20:02:53Z

We currently set the value that variable vid is pointing, which will be used in FDB later, to 0 at br_allowed_ingress() when we receive untagged or priority-tagged frames, even though the PVID is valid. This leads to FDB updates in such a wrong way that they are learned with VID 0. Update the value to that of PVID if the PVID is applied.
