2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-21ipv4: Don't drop redirected route cache entry unless PTMU actually expiredGuenter Roeck
TCP sessions over IPv4 can get stuck if routers between endpoints do not fragment packets but implement PMTU instead, and we are using those routers because of an ICMP redirect. Setup is as follows MTU1 MTU2 MTU1 A--------B------C------D with MTU1 > MTU2. A and D are endpoints, B and C are routers. B and C implement PMTU and drop packets larger than MTU2 (for example because DF is set on all packets). TCP sessions are initiated between A and D. There is packet loss between A and D, causing frequent TCP retransmits. After the number of retransmits on a TCP session reaches tcp_retries1, tcp calls dst_negative_advice() prior to each retransmit. This results in route cache entries for the peer to be deleted in ipv4_negative_advice() if the Path MTU is set. If the outstanding data on an affected TCP session is larger than MTU2, packets sent from the endpoints will be dropped by B or C, and ICMP NEEDFRAG will be returned. A and D receive NEEDFRAG messages and update PMTU. Before the next retransmit, tcp will again call dst_negative_advice(), causing the route cache entry (with correct PMTU) to be deleted. The retransmitted packet will be larger than MTU2, causing it to be dropped again. This sequence repeats until the TCP session aborts or is terminated. Problem is fixed by removing redirected route cache entries in ipv4_negative_advice() only if the PMTU is expired. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-03-20NET_DMA: free skbs periodicallySteven J. Magnani
Under NET_DMA, data transfer can grind to a halt when userland issues a large read on a socket with a high RCVLOWAT (i.e., 512 KB for both). This appears to be because the NET_DMA design queues up lots of memcpy operations, but doesn't issue or wait for them (and thus free the associated skbs) until it is time for tcp_recvmesg() to return. The socket hangs when its TCP window goes to zero before enough data is available to satisfy the read. Periodically issue asynchronous memcpy operations, and free skbs for ones that have completed, to prevent sockets from going into zero-window mode. Signed-off-by: Steven J.

2010-03-19ipv4: check rt_genid in dst_checkTimo Teräs
Xfrm_dst keeps a reference to ipv4 rtable entries on each cached bundle. The only way to renew xfrm_dst when the underlying route has changed, is to implement dst_check for this. This is what ipv6 side does too. The problems started after 87c1e12b5eeb7b30b4b41291bef8e0b41fc3dde9 ("ipsec: Fix bogus bundle flowi") which fixed a bug causing xfrm_dst to not get reused, until that all lookups always generated new xfrm_dst with new route reference and path mtu worked. But after the fix, the old routes started to get reused even after they were expired causing pmtu to break (well it would occationally work if the rtable gc had run recently and marked the route obsolete causing dst_check to get called).

2010-03-12ipconfig: Handle devices which take some time to come up.David S. Miller
Some network devices, particularly USB ones, take several seconds to fully init and appear in the device list. If the user turned ipconfig on, they are using it for NFS root or some other early booting purpose. So it makes no sense to just flat out fail immediately if the device isn't found. It also doesn't make sense to just jack up the initial wait to something crazy like 10 seconds. Instead, poll immediately, and then periodically once a second, waiting for a usable device to appear. Fail after 12 seconds. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Tested-by: Christian Pellegrin <chripell@fsfe.org>

2010-03-08net: fix route cache rebuildsEric Dumazet
We added an automatic route cache rebuilding in commit 1080d709fb9d8cd43 but had to correct few bugs. One of the assumption of original patch, was that entries where kept sorted in a given way. This assumption is known to be wrong (commit 1ddbcb005c395518 gave an explanation of this and corrected a leak) and expensive to respect. Paweł Staszewski reported to me one of his machine got its routing cache disabled after few messages like : [ 2677.850065] Route hash chain too long! [ 2677.850080] Adjust your secret_interval! [82839.662993] Route hash chain too long! [82839.662996] Adjust your secret_interval! [155843.731650] Route hash chain too long! [155843.731664] Adjust your secret_interval! [155843.811881] Route hash chain too long! [155843.811891] Adjust your secret_interval! [155843.858209] vlan0811: 5 rebuilds is over limit, route caching disabled [155843.858212] Route hash chain too long! [155843.858213] Adjust your secret_interval! This is because rt_intern_hash() might be fooled when computing a chain length, because multiple entries with same keys can differ because of TOS (or mark/oif) bits. In the rare case the fast algorithm see a too long chain, and before taking expensive path, we call a helper function in order to not count duplicates of same routes, that only differ with tos/mark/oif bits. This helper works with data already in cpu cache and is not be very expensive, despite its O(N^2) implementation. Paweł Staszewski sucessfully tested this patch on his loaded router.

2010-03-04gre: fix hard header destination address checkingTimo Teräs
ipgre_header() can be called with zero daddr when the gre device is configured as multipoint tunnel and still has the NOARP flag set (which is typically cleared by the userspace arp daemon). If the NOARP packets are not dropped, ipgre_tunnel_xmit() will take rt->rt_gateway (= NBMA IP) and use that for route look up (and may lead to bogus xfrm acquires). The multicast address check is removed as sending to multicast group should be ok. In fact, if gre device has a multicast address as destination ipgre_header is always called with multicast address.

Long term the header file should be fixed to be usable even with NF_CONNTRACK=n. Tested-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

The net being checked there is dev_net(dev) and thus this if is always false. Fits both net and net-next trees. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-16percpu: add __percpu sparse annotations to netTejun Heo
Add __percpu sparse annotations to net. These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be in a different address space and warn if accessed without going through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds. The macro and type tricks around snmp stats make things a bit interesting. DEFINE/DECLARE_SNMP_STAT() macros mark the target field as __percpu and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS() macro is updated accordingly. All snmp_mib_*() users which used to cast the argument to (void **) are updated to cast it to (void __percpu **). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: David S.

2010-02-16net neigh: Decouple per interface neighbour table controls from binary sysctlsEric W. Biederman
Stop computing the number of neighbour table settings we have by counting the number of binary sysctls. This behaviour was silly and meant that we could not add another neighbour table setting without also adding another binary sysctl. Don't pass the binary sysctl path for neighour table entries into neigh_sysctl_register. These parameters are no longer used and so are just dead code. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2010-02-16net ipv4: Decouple ipv4 interface parameters from binary sysctl numbersEric W. Biederman
Stop using the binary sysctl enumeartion in sysctl.h as an index into a per interface array. This leads to unnecessary binary sysctl number allocation, and a fragility in data structure and implementation because of unnecessary coupling. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
