2010-10-03net: introduce DST_NOCACHE flagEric Dumazet
While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in neighbour code. When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test()) But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock. Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not inserted in route cache. With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour, results are : Before patch: real 2m28.406s user 0m11.781s sys 36m17.964s After patch: real 1m26.532s user 0m12.185s sys 20m3.903s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-09-30Bluetooth: Fix deadlock in the ERTM logicGustavo F. Padovan
The Enhanced Retransmission Mode(ERTM) is a realiable mode of operation of the Bluetooth L2CAP layer. Think on it like a simplified version of TCP. The problem we were facing here was a deadlock. ERTM uses a backlog queue to queue incomimg packets while the user is helding the lock. At some moment the sk_sndbuf can be exceeded and we can't alloc new skbs then the code sleep with the lock to wait for memory, that stalls the ERTM connection once we can't read the acknowledgements packets in the backlog queue to free memory and make the allocation of outcoming skb successful. This patch actually affect all users of bt_skb_send_alloc(), i.e., all L2CAP modes and SCO. We are safe against socket states changes or channels deletion while the we are sleeping wait memory. Checking for the sk->sk_err and sk->sk_shutdown make the code safe, since any action that can leave the socket or the channel in a not usable state set one of the struct members at least. Then we can check both of them when getting the lock again and return with the proper error if something unexpected happens. Signed-off-by: Gustavo F.

2010-09-28ipv4: Allow configuring subnets as local addressesTom Herbert
This patch allows a host to be configured to respond to any address in a specified range as if it were local, without actually needing to configure the address on an interface. This is done through routing table configuration. For instance, to configure a host to respond to any address in 10.1/16 received on eth0 as a local address we can do: ip rule add from all iif eth0 lookup 200 ip route add local 10.1/16 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 table 200 This host is now reachable by any 10.1/16 address (route lookup on input for packets received on eth0 can find the route). On output, the rule will not be matched so that this host can still send packets to 10.1/16 (not sent on loopback). Presumably, external routing can be configured to make sense out of this. To make this work, we needed to modify the logic in finding the interface which is assigned a given source address for output (dev_ip_find). We perform a normal fib_lookup instead of just a lookup on the local table, and in the lookup we ignore the input interface for matching. This patch is useful to implement IP-anycast for subnets of virtual addresses. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-09-28netfilter: ctnetlink: add support for user-space expectation helpersPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the basic infrastructure to support user-space expectation helpers via ctnetlink and the netfilter queuing infrastructure NFQUEUE. Basically, this patch: * adds NF_CT_EXPECT_USERSPACE flag to identify user-space created expectations. I have also added a sanity check in __nf_ct_expect_check() to avoid that kernel-space helpers may create an expectation if the master conntrack has no helper assigned. * adds some branches to check if the master conntrack helper exists, otherwise we skip the code that refers to kernel-space helper such as the local expectation list and the expectation policy. * allows to set the timeout for user-space expectations with no helper assigned. * a list of expectations created from user-space that depends on ctnetlink (if this module is removed, they are deleted). * includes USERSPACE in the /proc output for expectations that have been created by a user-space helper. This patch also modifies ctnetlink to skip including the helper name in the Netlink messages if no kernel-space helper is set (since no user-space expectation has not kernel-space kernel assigned).

commit 8c0c709eea5cbab97fb464cd68b06f24acc58ee1 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Wed Nov 25 17:46:15 2009 +0100 mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags moved the CMNTR flag into the skb RX flags for some aggregation cleanups, but this was wrong since the optimisation this flag tried to make requires that it is kept across the processing of multiple interfaces -- which isn't true for flags in the skb. The patch not only broke the optimisation, it also introduced a bug: under some (common!) circumstances the flag will be set on an already freed skb! However, investigating this in more detail, I found that most of the flags that we set should be per packet, _except_ for this one, due to a-MPDU processing. Additionally, the flags used for processing (currently just this one) need to be reset before processing a new packet. Since we haven't actually seen bugs reported as a result of the wrong flags handling (which is not too surprising -- the only real bug case I can come up with is an a-MSDU contained in an a-MPDU), I'll make a different fix for rc.

2010-09-21ipvs: netfilter connection tracking changesJulian Anastasov
Add more code to IPVS to work with Netfilter connection tracking and fix some problems. - Allow IPVS to be compiled without connection tracking as in 2.6.35 and before. This can avoid keeping conntracks for all IPVS connections because this costs memory. ip_vs_ftp still depends on connection tracking and NAT as implemented for 2.6.36. - Add sysctl var "conntrack" to enable connection tracking for all IPVS connections. For loaded IPVS directors it needs tuning of nf_conntrack_max limit. - Add IP_VS_CONN_F_NFCT connection flag to request the connection to use connection tracking. This allows user space to provide this flag, for example, in dest->conn_flags. This can be useful to request connection tracking per real server instead of forcing it for all connections with the "conntrack" sysctl. This flag is set currently only by ip_vs_ftp and of course by "conntrack" sysctl. - Add ip_vs_nfct.c file to hold all connection tracking code, by this way main code should not depend of netfilter conntrack support. - Return back the ip_vs_post_routing handler as in 2.6.35 and use skb->ipvs_property=1 to allow IPVS to work without connection tracking Connection tracking: - most of the code is already in 2.6.36-rc - alter conntrack reply tuple for LVS-NAT connections when first packet from client is forwarded and conntrack state is NEW or RELATED. Additionally, alter reply for RELATED connections from real server, again for packet in original direction. - add IP_VS_XMIT_TUNNEL to confirm conntrack (without altering reply) for LVS-TUN early because we want to call nf_reset. It is needed because we add IPIP header and the original conntrack should be preserved, not destroyed. The transmitted IPIP packets can reuse same conntrack, so we do not set skb->ipvs_property. - try to destroy conntrack when the IPVS connection is destroyed. It is not fatal if conntrack disappears before that, it depends on the used timers. Fix problems from long time: - add skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE for the LVS-TUN transmitters Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2010-09-20xfrm: Allow different selector family in temporary stateThomas Egerer
The family parameter xfrm_state_find is used to find a state matching a certain policy. This value is set to the template's family (encap_family) right before xfrm_state_find is called. The family parameter is however also used to construct a temporary state in xfrm_state_find itself which is wrong for inter-family scenarios because it produces a selector for the wrong family. Since this selector is included in the xfrm_user_acquire structure, user space programs misinterpret IPv6 addresses as IPv4 and vice versa. This patch splits up the original init_tempsel function into a part that initializes the selector respectively the props and id of the temporary state, to allow for differing ip address families whithin the state.

But there is no way to prevent Linux userspace processes from being killed or suffering from bugs, so this can still happen. We might as well forcefully close Phonet pipe endpoints then. The cellular modem supports only a few existing pipes at a time. So we really should not leak them.

2010-09-08udp: add rehash on connect()Eric Dumazet
commit 30fff923 introduced in linux-2.6.33 (udp: bind() optimisation) added a secondary hash on UDP, hashed on (local addr, local port). Problem is that following sequence : fd = socket(...) connect(fd, &remote, ...) not only selects remote end point (address and port), but also sets local address, while UDP stack stored in secondary hash table the socket while its local address was INADDR_ANY (or ipv6 equivalent) Sequence is : - autobind() : choose a random local port, insert socket in hash tables [while local address is INADDR_ANY] - connect() : set remote address and port, change local address to IP given by a route lookup. When an incoming UDP frame comes, if more than 10 sockets are found in primary hash table, we switch to secondary table, and fail to find socket because its local address changed. One solution to this problem is to rehash datagram socket if needed. We add a new rehash(struct socket *) method in "struct proto", and implement this method for UDP v4 & v6, using a common helper. This rehashing only takes care of secondary hash table, since primary hash (based on local port only) is not changed.

2010-08-30tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option.Jerry Chu
This patch provides a "user timeout" support as described in RFC793. The socket option is also needed for the the local half of RFC5482 "TCP User Timeout Option". TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int, when > 0, to specify the maximum amount of time in ms that transmitted data may remain unacknowledged before TCP will forcefully close the corresponding connection and return ETIMEDOUT to the application. If 0 is given, TCP will continue to use the system default. Increasing the user timeouts allows a TCP connection to survive extended periods without end-to-end connectivity. Decreasing the user timeouts allows applications to "fail fast" if so desired. Otherwise it may take upto 20 minutes with the current system defaults in a normal WAN environment. The socket option can be made during any state of a TCP connection, but is only effective during the synchronized states of a connection (ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN-WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, or LAST-ACK). Moreover, when used with the TCP keepalive (SO_KEEPALIVE) option, TCP_USER_TIMEOUT will overtake keepalive to determine when to close a connection due to keepalive failure. The option does not change in anyway when TCP retransmits a packet, nor when a keepalive probe will be sent. This option, like many others, will be inherited by an acceptor from its listener.

2010-08-27cfg80211: allow changing port control protocolJohannes Berg
Some vendor specified mechanisms for 802.1X-style functionality use a different protocol than EAP (even if EAP is vendor-extensible). Allow setting the ethertype for the protocol when a driver has support for this. The default if unspecified is EAP, of course. Note: This is suitable only for station mode, not for AP implementation.

2010-08-27mac80211: allow scan to complete from any contextJohannes Berg
The ieee80211_scan_completed() function was a frequent source of potential deadlocks, since it is called by drivers but may call back into drivers, so drivers had to make sure to call it without any locks held, which frequently lead to more complex code in drivers. Avoid that problem by allowing the function to be called in any context, and queueing the actual work it does. Also update the documentation for it to indicate this.
