tcp: perform DMA to userspace only if there is a task waiting for it

2012-08-09T15:23:14Z

[ Upstream commit 59ea33a68a9083ac98515e4861c00e71efdc49a1 ] Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a87b ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT") added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available. The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace task is actually expecting the data in the buffer. This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to recvmsg() is used. If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but misses the check in the dmaengine case. This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine. This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.

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.

tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT negative value check

2012-08-09T15:23:13Z

[ Upstream commit 42493570100b91ef663c4c6f0c0fdab238f9d3c2 ] TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int. But patch "tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option"(dca43c75) didn't check the negative values. If a user assign -1 to it, the socket will set successfully and wait for 4294967295 miliseconds. This patch add a negative value check to avoid this issue. Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: Fix references to out-of-scope variables in put_cmsg_compat()

2012-08-09T15:23:13Z

[ Upstream commit 818810472b129004c16fc51bf0a570b60776bfb7 ] In net/compat.c::put_cmsg_compat() we may assign 'data' the address of either the 'ctv' or 'cts' local variables inside the 'if (!COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME)' branch. Those variables go out of scope at the end of the 'if' statement, so when we use 'data' further down in 'copy_to_user(CMSG_COMPAT_DATA(cm), data, cmlen - sizeof(struct compat_cmsghdr))' there's no telling what it may be refering to - not good. Fix the problem by simply giving 'ctv' and 'cts' function scope. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

The VM ends up calling ->releasepage to get more memory, and it tries to do a blocking commit. That commit can't succeed however without a connected socket, so we deadlock. Fix this by setting PF_FSTRANS on the workqueue task prior to doing the socket allocation, and having nfs_release_page check for that flag when deciding whether to do a commit call. Also, set PF_FSTRANS unconditionally in rpc_async_schedule since that function can also do allocations sometimes.

mac80211: fix crash with single-queue drivers

2012-08-09T15:22:51Z

commit a6f38ac3cc853189705006cc1e0f17ce8467a1df upstream. Larry (and some others I think) reported that with single-queue drivers mac80211 crashes when waking the queues. This happens because we allocate just a single queue for each virtual interface in case the driver doesn't have at least 4 queues, but the code stopping/waking the virtual interface queues wasn't taking this into account.

tun: fix a crash bug and a memory leak

2012-08-09T15:22:51Z

commit b09e786bd1dd66418b69348cb110f3a64764626a upstream. This patch fixes a crash tun_chr_close -> netdev_run_todo -> tun_free_netdev -> sk_release_kernel -> sock_release -> iput(SOCK_INODE(sock)) introduced by commit 1ab5ecb90cb6a3df1476e052f76a6e8f6511cb3d The problem is that this socket is embedded in struct tun_struct, it has no inode, iput is called on invalid inode, which modifies invalid memory and optionally causes a crash. sock_release also decrements sockets_in_use, this causes a bug that "sockets: used" field in /proc/*/net/sockstat keeps on decreasing when creating and closing tun devices. This patch introduces a flag SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED that instructs sock_release to not free the inode and not decrement sockets_in_use, fixing both memory corruption and sockets_in_use underflow. It should be backported to 3.3 an 3.4 stabke. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
