2009-02-17tcp: Fix length tcp_splice_data_recv passes to skb_splice_bits.Dimitris Michailidis
[ Upstream commit 9fa5fdf291c9b58b1cb8b4bb2a0ee57efa21d635 ] tcp_splice_data_recv has two lengths to consider: the len parameter it gets from tcp_read_sock, which specifies the amount of data in the skb, and rd_desc->count, which is the amount of data the splice caller still wants. Currently it passes just the latter to skb_splice_bits, which then splices min(rd_desc->count, skb->len - offset) bytes. Most of the time this is fine, except when the skb contains urgent data. In that case len goes only up to the urgent byte and is less than skb->len - offset. By ignoring len tcp_splice_data_recv may a) splice data tcp_read_sock told it not to, b) return to tcp_read_sock a value > len. Now, tcp_read_sock doesn't handle used > len and leaves the socket in a bad state (both sk_receive_queue and copied_seq are bad at that point) resulting in duplicated data and corruption. Fix by passing min(rd_desc->count, len) to skb_splice_bits. Signed-off-by: Dimitris Michailidis <dm@chelsio.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-02-17tcp: splice as many packets as possible at onceWilly Tarreau
[ Upstream commit 33966dd0e2f68f26943cd9ee93ec6abbc6547a8e ] As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not optimal. It processes at most one segment per call. This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO. Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less often. With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return 16*1460 = 23360 bytes.

[ Upstream commit e918085aaff34086e265f825dd469926b1aec4a4 ] 802.1Q expanded the maximum ethernet frame size by 4 bytes for the VLAN tag. We're not taking this into account in virtio_net, which means the buffers we provide to the backend in the virtqueue RX ring aren't big enough to hold a full MTU VLAN packet.

2009-02-17tun: Fix unicast filter overflowAlex Williamson
[ Upstream commit cfbf84fcbcda98bb91ada683a8dc8e6901a83ebd ] Tap devices can make use of a small MAC filter set via the TUNSETTXFILTER ioctl. The filter has a set of exact matches plus a hash for imperfect filtering of additional multicast addresses. The current code is unbalanced, adding unicast addresses to the multicast hash, but only checking the hash against multicast addresses. This results in the filter dropping unicast addresses that overflow the exact filter. The fix is simply to disable the filter by leaving count set to zero if we find non-multicast addresses after the exact match table is filled.

[ Upstream commit 71822faa3bc0af5dbf5e333a2d085f1ed7cd809f ] From: Ilkka Virta <itvirta@iki.fi> In the lockup situation the driver seems to go off in an eternal storm of interrupts right after calling request_irq(). It doesn't actually do anything interesting in the interrupt handler. Since connecting the link afterwards works, something later in initialization must fix this. Looking at gem_do_start() and gem_open(), it seems that the only thing done while opening the device after the request_irq(), is a call to napi_enable(). I don't know what the ordering requirements are for the initialization, but I boldly tried to move the napi_enable() call inside gem_do_start() before the link state is checked and interrupts subsequently enabled, and it seems to work for me. Doesn't even break anything too obvious... Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Since the only thing we care about in the mmap handler is for pg_vec* to be invariant, i.e., to exclude packet_set_ring, we can achieve this by simply using a new mutex.

This caused the kernel panic. if (abs_offset < block_limit) { - *data = st->cur_skb->data + abs_offset; + *data = st->cur_skb->data + (abs_offset - st->stepped_offset); I enabled the debug_tcp and with a few printks found that the code did not go to the next_skb label and could find that the sequence being followed was this - It hit this if condition - if (st->cur_skb->next) { st->cur_skb = st->cur_skb->next; st->frag_idx = 0; goto next_skb; And so, now the st pointer is shifted to the next skb whereas actually it should have hit the second else if first since the data is in the frag_list. else if (st->root_skb == st->cur_skb && skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list) { st->cur_skb = skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list; goto next_skb; } Reversing the two conditions the attached patch fixes the issue for me on top of Herbert's patches.

2009-02-17sctp: Properly timestamp outgoing data chunks for rtx purposesVlad Yasevich
[ Upstream commit 759af00ebef858015eb68876ac1f383bcb6a1774 ] Recent changes to the retransmit code exposed a long standing bug where it was possible for a chunk to be time stamped after the retransmit timer was reset. This caused a rare situation where the retrnamist timer has expired, but nothing was marked for retrnasmission because all of timesamps on data were less then 1 rto ago. As result, the timer was never restarted since nothing was retransmitted, and this resulted in a hung association that did couldn't complete the data transfer. The solution is to timestamp the chunk when it's added to the packet for transmission purposes. After the packet is trsnmitted the rtx timer is restarted. This guarantees that when the timer expires, there will be data to retransmit. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 9d9b87c1218be78ddecbc85ec3bb91c79c1d56ab upstream. If a client requests a blocking lock, is denied, then requests it again, then here in nlmsvc_lock() we will call vfs_lock_file() without FL_SLEEP set, because we've already queued a block and don't need the locks code to do it again. But that means vfs_lock_file() will return -EAGAIN instead of FILE_LOCK_DENIED. So we still need to translate that -EAGAIN return into a nlm_lck_blocked error in this case, and put ourselves back on lockd's block list.

2009-02-17mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmapJeremy Fitzhardinge
commit 9480c53e9b2aa13a06283ffb96bb8f1873ac4e9a upstream. Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]: > Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU. > Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so > that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the > process had any mlocked pages. (in fact, it somehow manages to get into > the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get > a swap token) Jeremy explained: Yes. In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned", meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall (or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing). An unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be directly accessed as normal RW pages. As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses. This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap(). The munlocking happens a few lines below. The obvious thing to do would be to move arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side. Thus, this patch: exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap, as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the former to fail.

2009-02-17Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdownNick Piggin
commit 3a4c6800f31ea8395628af5e7e490270ee5d0585 upstream. A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit 31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic fix"). The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no more work to be done. But the !done condition was dropped from the test. This means that any time the page writeout loop breaks (eg. due to nr_to_write == 0), we will set index to 0, then goto again. This will set done_index to index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the function. When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout, we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0. This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and caused bugzilla entry http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604 about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically. With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly 5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

2009-02-17kernel-doc: fix syscall wrapper processingRandy Dunlap
commit b4870bc5ee8c7a37541a3eb1208b5c76c13a078a upstream. Fix kernel-doc processing of SYSCALL wrappers. The SYSCALL wrapper patches played havoc with kernel-doc for syscalls. Syscalls that were scanned for DocBook processing reported warnings like this one, for sys_tgkill: Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'tgkill' Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'pid_t' Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'int' because the macro parameters all "look like" function parameters, although they are not: /** * sys_tgkill - send signal to one specific thread * @tgid: the thread group ID of the thread * @pid: the PID of the thread * @sig: signal to be sent * * This syscall also checks the @tgid and returns -ESRCH even if the PID * exists but it's not belonging to the target process anymore. This * method solves the problem of threads exiting and PIDs getting reused. */ SYSCALL_DEFINE3(tgkill, pid_t, tgid, pid_t, pid, int, sig) { ...

2009-02-17syscall define: fix uml compile bugHeiko Carstens
commit 6c5979631b4b03c9288776562c18036765e398c1 upstream. With the new system call defines we get this on uml: arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table': (.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask' Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option -Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel. This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask. However sys_sigprocmask is missing because of this. To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels. This was pointed out by Al Viro.

2009-02-17nbd: fix I/O hang on disconnected nbdsPaul Clements
commit 4d48a542b42747c36a5937447d9c3de7c897ea50 upstream. Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized) nbd device to hang indefinitely. To reproduce: # ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048 # dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1 ...hangs... This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server connection. Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later will hang. This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277 Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the same. This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD: allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around 2.6.25. The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock being NULL in do_nbd_request. This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of this bug.

2009-02-17x86, vmi: put a missing paravirt_release_pmd in pgd_dtorAlok Kataria
commit 55a8ba4b7f76bebd7e8ce3f74c04b140627a1bad upstream. Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations, and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path. As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a page table page. After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots). Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

2009-02-12sctp: Fix another socket race during accept/peeloffVlad Yasevich
commit ae53b5bd77719fed58086c5be60ce4f22bffe1c6 upstream. There is a race between sctp_rcv() and sctp_accept() where we have moved the association from the listening socket to the accepted socket, but sctp_rcv() processing cached the old socket and continues to use it. The easy solution is to check for the socket mismatch once we've grabed the socket lock. If we hit a mis-match, that means that were are currently holding the lock on the listening socket, but the association is refrencing a newly accepted socket. We need to drop the lock on the old socket and grab the lock on the new one. A more proper solution might be to create accepted sockets when the new association is established, similar to TCP. That would eliminate the race for 1-to-1 style sockets, but it would still existing for 1-to-many sockets where a user wished to peeloff an association. For now, we'll live with this easy solution as it addresses the problem.
