2010-06-10ip: ip_ra_control() rcu fixEric Dumazet
commit 66018506e15b (ip: Router Alert RCU conversion) introduced RCU lookups to ip_call_ra_chain(). It missed proper deinit phase : When ip_ra_control() deletes an ip_ra_chain, it should make sure ip_call_ra_chain() users can not start to use socket during the rcu grace period. It should also delay the sock_put() after the grace period, or we risk a premature socket freeing and corruptions, as raw sockets are not rcu protected yet. This delay avoids using expensive atomic_inc_not_zero() in ip_call_ra_chain(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-06-07tcp: Fix slowness in read /proc/net/tcpTom Herbert
This patch address a serious performance issue in reading the TCP sockets table (/proc/net/tcp). Reading the full table is done by a number of sequential read operations. At each read operation, a seek is done to find the last socket that was previously read. This seek operation requires that the sockets in the table need to be counted up to the current file position, and to count each of these requires taking a lock for each non-empty bucket. The whole algorithm is O(n^2). The fix is to cache the last bucket value, offset within the bucket, and the file position returned by the last read operation. On the next sequential read, the bucket and offset are used to find the last read socket immediately without needing ot scan the previous buckets the table. This algorithm t read the whole table is O(n). The improvement offered by this patch is easily show by performing cat'ing /proc/net/tcp on a machine with a lot of connections. With about 182K connections in the table, I see the following: - Without patch time cat /proc/net/tcp > /dev/null real 1m56.729s user 0m0.214s sys 1m56.344s - With patch time cat /proc/net/tcp > /dev/null real 0m0.894s user 0m0.290s sys 0m0.594s Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-06-04rps: tcp: fix rps_sock_flow_table table updatesEric Dumazet
I believe a moderate SYN flood attack can corrupt RFS flow table (rps_sock_flow_table), making RPS/RFS much less effective. Even in a normal situation, server handling short lived sessions suffer from bad steering for the first data packet of a session, if another SYN packet is received for another session. We do following action in tcp_v4_rcv() : sock_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash); We should _not_ do this if sk is a LISTEN socket, as about each packet received on a LISTEN socket has a different rxhash than previous one. -> RPS_NO_CPU markers are spread all over rps_sock_flow_table. Also, it makes sense to protect sk->rxhash field changes with socket lock (We currently can change it even if user thread owns the lock and might use rxhash) This patch moves sock_rps_save_rxhash() to a sock locked section, and only for non LISTEN sockets.

2010-05-31net: sock_queue_err_skb() dont mess with sk_forward_allocEric Dumazet
Correct sk_forward_alloc handling for error_queue would need to use a backlog of frames that softirq handler could not deliver because socket is owned by user thread. Or extend backlog processing to be able to process normal and error packets. Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is what I implemented in this patch.

2010-05-31arp_notify: allow drivers to explicitly request a notification event.Ian Campbell
Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use to explicitly trigger the notification.

2010-05-27net: fix lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bhEric Dumazet
This new sock lock primitive was introduced to speedup some user context socket manipulation. But it is unsafe to protect two threads, one using regular lock_sock/release_sock, one using lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh This patch changes lock_sock_bh to be careful against 'owned' state. If owned is found to be set, we must take the slow path. lock_sock_bh() now returns a boolean to say if the slow path was taken, and this boolean is used at unlock_sock_bh time to call the appropriate unlock function. After this change, BH are either disabled or enabled during the lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh protected section. This might be misleading, so we rename these functions to lock_sock_fast()/unlock_sock_fast().

Commit 33ad798c924b4a (tcp: options clean up) introduced a problem if MD5+SACK+timestamps were used in initial SYN message. Some stacks (old linux for example) try to negotiate MD5+SACK+TSTAMP sessions, but since 40 bytes of tcp options space are not enough to store all the bits needed, we chose to disable timestamps in this case. We send a SYN-ACK _without_ timestamp option, but socket has timestamps enabled and all further outgoing messages contain a TS block, all with the initial timestamp of the remote peer.

New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb. (with lockdep check) skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted. skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb is queued and not anymore RCU protected. Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if !IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue(). Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb(). Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it later to do one dirtying per jiffies.
