2007-09-24TCP: Fix TCP handling of SACK in bidirectional flowsIlpo Järvinen
It's possible that new SACK blocks that should trigger new LOST markings arrive with new data (which previously made is_dupack false). In addition, I think this fixes a case where we get a cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to trigger the fast recovery (is_dupack would be false there too). I'm not completely pleased with this solution because readability of the code is somewhat questionable as 'is_dupack' in SACK case is no longer about dupacks only but would mean something like 'lost_marker_work_todo' too... But because of Eifel stuff done in CA_Recovery, the FLAG_DATA_SACKED check cannot be placed to the if statement which seems attractive solution. Nevertheless, I didn't like adding another variable just for that either... :-) Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-09-24[PPP]: Fix output buffer size in ppp_decompress_frame().Konstantin Sharlaimov
This patch addresses the issue with "osize too small" errors in mppe encryption. The patch fixes the issue with wrong output buffer size being passed to ppp decompression routine. -------------------- As pointed out by Suresh Mahalingam, the issue addressed by ppp-fix-osize-too-small-errors-when-decoding patch is not fully resolved yet. The size of allocated output buffer is correct, however it size passed to ppp->rcomp->decompress in ppp_generic.c if wrong.

2007-08-30[MATH-EMU]: Fix underflow exception reporting.David S. Miller
The underflow exception cases were wrong. This is one weird area of ieee1754 handling in that the underflow behavior changes based upon whether underflow is enabled in the trap enable mask of the FPU control register. As a specific case the Sparc V9 manual gives us the following description: -------------------- If UFM = 0: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny and a loss of accuracy occurs. Tininess may be detected before or after rounding. Loss of accuracy may be either a denormalization loss or an inexact result. If UFM = 1: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny. Tininess may be detected before or after rounding. -------------------- What this amounts to in the packing case is if we go subnormal, we set underflow if any of the following are true: 1) rounding sets inexact 2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this should set inexact too 3) underflow is set in FPU control register trap-enable mask The initially discovered example was "DBL_MIN / 16.0" which incorrectly generated an underflow. It should not, unless underflow is set in the trap-enable mask of the FPU csr. Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754 literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above. However, if underflow is set in the trap enable mask, only underflow should be set and reported as a trap. That is handled properly by the prioritization logic in arch/sparc{,64}/math-emu/math.c:record_exception(). Based upon a report and test case from Jakub Jelinek. Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-08-30[SPARC32]: Fix rounding errors in ndelay/udelay implementation.Mark Fortescue
__ndelay and __udelay have not been delayung >= specified time. The problem with __ndelay has been tacked down to the rounding of the multiplier constant. By changing this, delays > app 18us are correctly calculated. The problem with __udelay has also been tracked down to rounding issues. Changing the multiplier constant (to match that used in sparc64) corrects for large delays and adding in a rounding constant corrects for trunctaion errors in the claculations. Many short delays will return without looping. This is not an error as there is the fixed delay of doing all the maths to calculate the loop count.

2007-08-23md: avoid possible BUG_ON in md bitmap handlingNeil Brown
md/bitmap tracks how many active write requests are pending on blocks associated with each bit in the bitmap, so that it knows when it can clear the bit (when count hits zero). The counter has 14 bits of space, so if there are ever more than 16383, we cannot cope. Currently the code just calles BUG_ON as "all" drivers have request queue limits much smaller than this. However is seems that some don't. Apparently some multipath configurations can allow more than 16383 concurrent write requests. So, in this unlikely situation, instead of calling BUG_ON we now wait for the count to drop down a bit. This requires a new wait_queue_head, some waiting code, and a wakeup call. Tested by limiting the counter to 20 instead of 16383 (writes go a lot slower in that case...). Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org>
2007-08-23md: fix a few problems with the interface (sysfs and ioctl) to mdNeil Brown
While developing more functionality in mdadm I found some bugs in md... - When we remove a device from an inactive array (write 'remove' to the 'state' sysfs file - see 'state_store') would should not update the superblock information - as we may not have read and processed it all properly yet. - initialise all raid_disk entries to '-1' else the 'slot sysfs file will claim '0' for all devices in an array before the array is started. - all '\n' not to be present at the end of words written to sysfs files - when we use SET_ARRAY_INFO to set the md metadata version, set the flag to say that there is persistant metadata. - allow GET_BITMAP_FILE to be called on an array that hasn't been started yet.

2007-08-23md: assorted md and raid1 one-linersNeil Brown
Fix few bugs that meant that: - superblocks weren't alway written at exactly the right time (this could show up if the array was not written to - writting to the array causes lots of superblock updates and so hides these errors). - restarting device recovery after a clean shutdown (version-1 metadata only) didn't work as intended (or at all). 1/ Ensure superblock is updated when a new device is added. 2/ Remove an inappropriate test on MD_RECOVERY_SYNC in md_do_sync. The body of this if takes one of two branches depending on whether MD_RECOVERY_SYNC is set, so testing it in the clause of the if is wrong. 3/ Flag superblock for updating after a resync/recovery finishes. 4/ If we find the neeed to restart a recovery in the middle (version-1 metadata only) make sure a full recovery (not just as guided by bitmaps) does get done.

2007-08-23md: fix a plug/unplug race in raid5Neil Brown
When a device is unplugged, requests are moved from one or two (depending on whether a bitmap is in use) queues to the main request queue. So whenever requests are put on either of those queues, we should make sure the raid5 array is 'plugged'. However we don't. We currently plug the raid5 queue just before putting requests on queues, so there is room for a race. If something unplugs the queue at just the wrong time, requests will be left on the queue and nothing will want to unplug them. Normally something else will plug and unplug the queue fairly soon, but there is a risk that nothing will. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org>
2007-08-23md: fix resync speed calculation for restarted resyncsNeil Brown
We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync. However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current 'curr_resync' count. This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors, not just io sectors. So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.

2007-08-23md: Allow re-add to work on array without bitmapsNeil Brown
When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced. It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps. i.e. if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the interim, then the add should not require a resync. This patch allows that option. This means that when assembling an array one device at a time (e.g. during device discovery) the array can be enabled read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still be added without causing a resync.

2007-07-22[IPV6]: MSG_ERRQUEUE messages do not pass to connected raw socketsDmitry Butskoy
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8747 Problem Description: It is related to the possibility to obtain MSG_ERRQUEUE messages from the udp and raw sockets, both connected and unconnected. There is a little typo in net/ipv6/icmp.c code, which prevents such messages to be delivered to the errqueue of the correspond raw socket, when the socket is CONNECTED. The typo is due to swap of local/remote addresses. Consider __raw_v6_lookup() function from net/ipv6/raw.c. When a raw socket is looked up usual way, it is something like: sk = __raw_v6_lookup(sk, nexthdr, daddr, saddr, IP6CB(skb)->iif); where "daddr" is a destination address of the incoming packet (IOW our local address), "saddr" is a source address of the incoming packet (the remote end). But when the raw socket is looked up for some icmp error report, in net/ipv6/icmp.c:icmpv6_notify() , daddr/saddr are obtained from the echoed fragment of the "bad" packet, i.e. "daddr" is the original destination address of that packet, "saddr" is our local address. Hence, for icmpv6_notify() must use "saddr, daddr" in its arguments, not "daddr, saddr" ... Steps to reproduce: Create some raw socket, connect it to an address, and cause some error situation: f.e. set ttl=1 where the remote address is more than 1 hop to reach. Set IPV6_RECVERR . Then send something and wait for the error (f.e. poll() with POLLERR|POLLIN). You should receive "time exceeded" icmp message (because of "ttl=1"), but the socket do not receive it. If you do not connect your raw socket, you will receive MSG_ERRQUEUE successfully. (The reason is that for unconnected socket there are no actual checks for local/remote addresses).

2007-07-22[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: don't track locally generated special ICMP errorYasuyuki Kozakai
The conntrack assigned to locally generated ICMP error is usually the one assigned to the original packet which has caused the error. But if the original packet is handled as invalid by nf_conntrack, no conntrack is assigned to the original packet. Then nf_ct_attach() cannot assign any conntrack to the ICMP error packet. In that case the current nf_conntrack_icmp assigns appropriate conntrack to it. But the current code mistakes the direction of the packet. As a result, NAT code mistakes the address to be mangled. To fix the bug, this changes nf_conntrack_icmp not to assign conntrack to such ICMP error. Actually no address is necessary to be mangled in this case. Spotted by Jordan Russell.

As mentioned in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5015 The helptext implies that this is on by default. This may be true on some distros (Fedora/RHEL have it enabled in /etc/sysctl.conf), but the kernel defaults to it off. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-05-23[TCP]: zero out rx_opt in tcp_disconnect()Srinivas Aji
When the server drops its connection, NFS client reconnects using the same socket after disconnecting. If the new connection's SYN,ACK doesn't contain the TCP timestamp option and the old connection's did, tp->tcp_header_len is recomputed assuming no timestamp header but tp->rx_opt.tstamp_ok remains set. Then tcp_build_and_update_options() adds in a timestamp option past the end of the allocated TCP header, overwriting TCP data, or when the data is in skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[], overwriting skb_shinfo(skb) causing a crash soon after. (The issue was debugged from such a crash.) Similarly, wscale_ok and sack_ok also get set based on the SYN,ACK packet but not reset on disconnect, since they are zeroed out at initialization. The patch zeroes out the entire tp->rx_opt struct in tcp_disconnect() to avoid this sort of problem. Signed-off-by: Srinivas Aji <Aji_Srinivas@emc.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-05-23[NETPOLL]: Fix TX queue overflow in trapped mode.Sergei Shtylyov
CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP causes the TX queue controls to be completely bypassed in the netpoll's "trapped" mode which easily causes overflows in the drivers with short TX queues (most notably, in 8139too with its 4-deep queue). So, make this option more sensible by making it only bypass the TX softirq wakeup.
