backchannel use
For nfs41 callbacks we need an svc_xprt to process requests coming up the
backchannel socket as rpc_rqst's that are transformed into svc_rqst's that
need a rq_xprt to be processed.
The svc_{udp,tcp}_create methods are too heavy for this job as svc_create_socket
creates an actual socket to listen on while for nfs41 we're "reusing" the
fore channel's socket.

Implement the NFSv4.1 backchannel service. Invokes the common callback
processing logic svc_process_common() to authenticate the call and
dispatch the appropriate NFSv4.1 XDR decoder and operation procedure.
It then invokes bc_send() to send the reply over the same connection.
bc_send() is implemented in a separate patch.
At this time there is no slot validation or reply cache handling.

net/sunrpc/svc.c:svc_process() is used by the NFSv4 callback service
to process RPC requests arriving over connections initiated by the
server. NFSv4.1 supports callbacks over the backchannel on connections
initiated by the client. This patch refactors svc_process() so that
common code can also be used by the backchannel.

Adds rpc_run_bc_task() which is called by the NFS callback service to
process backchannel requests. It performs similar work to rpc_run_task()
though "schedules" the backchannel task to be executed starting at the
call_trasmit state in the RPC state machine.
It also introduces some miscellaneous updates to the argument validation,
call_transmit, and transport cleanup functions to take into account
that there are now forechannel and backchannel tasks.
Backchannel requests do not carry an RPC message structure, since the
payload has already been XDR encoded using the existing NFSv4 callback
mechanism.
Introduce a new transmit state for the client to reply on to backchannel
requests. This new state simply reserves the transport and issues the
reply. In case of a connection related error, disconnects the transport and
drops the reply. It requires the forechannel to re-establish the connection
and the server to retransmit the request, as stated in NFSv4.1 section
2.9.2 "Client and Server Transport Behavior".
Note: There is no need to loop attempting to reserve the transport. If EAGAIN
is returned by xprt_prepare_transmit(), return with tk_status == 0,
setting tk_action to call_bc_transmit. rpc_execute() will invoke it again
after the task is taken off the sleep queue.

Handles RPC replies and backchannel callbacks. Traditionally the NFS
client has expected only RPC replies on its open connections. With
NFSv4.1, callbacks can arrive over an existing open connection.
This patch refactors the old xs_tcp_read_request() into an RPC reply handler:
xs_tcp_read_reply(), a new backchannel callback handler: xs_tcp_read_callback(),
and a common routine to read the data off the transport: xs_tcp_read_common().
The new xs_tcp_read_callback() queues callback requests onto a queue where
the callback service (a separate thread) is listening for the processing.
This patch incorporates work and suggestions from Rahul Iyer (iyer@netapp.com)
and Benny Halevy (bhalevy@panasas.com).
xs_tcp_read_callback() drops the connection when the number of expected
callbacks is exceeded. Use xprt_force_disconnect(), ensuring tasks on
the pending queue are awaken on disconnect.

This patch introduces support to setup the callback xprt on the client side.
It allocates/ destroys the preallocated memory structures used to process
backchannel requests.
At setup time, xprt_setup_backchannel() is invoked to allocate one or
more rpc_rqst structures and substructures. This ensures that they
are available when an RPC callback arrives. The rpc_rqst structures
are maintained in a linked list attached to the rpc_xprt structure.
We keep track of the number of allocations so that they can be correctly
removed when the channel is destroyed.
When an RPC callback arrives, xprt_alloc_bc_request() is invoked to
obtain a preallocated rpc_rqst structure. An rpc_xprt structure is
returned, and its RPC_BC_PREALLOC_IN_USE bit is set in
rpc_xprt->bc_flags. The structure is removed from the the list
since it is now in use, and it will be later added back when its
user is done with it.
After the RPC callback replies, the rpc_rqst structure is returned
by invoking xprt_free_bc_request(). This clears the
RPC_BC_PREALLOC_IN_USE bit and adds it back to the list, allowing it
to be reused by a subsequent RPC callback request.
To be consistent with the reception of RPC messages, the backchannel requests
should be placed into the 'struct rpc_rqst' rq_rcv_buf, which is then in turn
copied to the 'struct rpc_rqst' rq_private_buf.

Reading and storing the RPC direction is a three step process.
1. xs_tcp_read_calldir() reads the RPC direction, but it will not store it
in the XDR buffer since the 'struct rpc_rqst' is not yet available.
2. The 'struct rpc_rqst' is obtained during the TCP_RCV_COPY_DATA state.
This state need not necessarily be preceeded by the TCP_RCV_READ_CALLDIR.
For example, we may be reading a continuation packet to a large reply.
Therefore, we can't simply obtain the 'struct rpc_rqst' during the
TCP_RCV_READ_CALLDIR state and assume it's available during TCP_RCV_COPY_DATA.
This patch adds a new TCP_RCV_READ_CALLDIR flag to indicate the need to
read the RPC direction. It then uses TCP_RCV_COPY_CALLDIR to indicate the
RPC direction needs to be saved after the 'struct rpc_rqst' has been allocated.
3. The 'struct rpc_rqst' is obtained by the xs_tcp_read_data() helper
functions. xs_tcp_read_common() then saves the RPC direction in the XDR
buffer if TCP_RCV_COPY_CALLDIR is set. This will happen when we're reading
the data immediately after the direction was read. xs_tcp_read_common()
then clears this flag.

NFSv4.1 callbacks can arrive over an existing connection. This patch adds
the logic to read the RPC call direction (call or reply). It does this by
updating the state machine to look for the call direction invoking
xs_tcp_read_calldir(...) after reading the XID.
[nfs41: Keep track of RPC call/reply direction with a flag]
As per 11/14/08 review of RFC 53/85.
Add a new flag to track whether the incoming message is an RPC call or an
RPC reply. TCP_RPC_REPLY is set in the 'struct sock_xprt' tcp_flags in
xs_tcp_read_calldir() if the message is an RPC reply sent on the forechannel.
It is cleared if the message is an RPC request sent on the back channel.

panic when we use cls_cgroup
This patch fixes a bug which unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps
chaining in tc_ctl_tfilter(), and avoids kernel panic in
cls_cgroup_classify() when we use cls_cgroup.
When we execute 'tc filter add', tcf_proto is allocated, initialized
by classifier's init(), and chained. After it's chained,
tc_ctl_tfilter() calls classifier's change(). When classifier's
change() fails, tc_ctl_tfilter() does not free and keeps tcf_proto.
In addition, cls_cgroup is initialized in change() not in init(). It
accesses unconfigured struct tcf_proto which is chained before
change(), then hits Oops.

|

The svcrdma module was incorrectly unmapping the RPCRDMA header page.
On IBM pserver systems this causes a resource leak that results in
running out of bus address space (10 cthon iterations will reproduce it).
The code was mapping the full page but only unmapping the actual header
length. The fix is to only map the header length.
I also cleaned up the use of ib_dma_map_page() calls since the unmap
logic always uses ib_dma_unmap_single(). I made these symmetrical.

Robert L Mathews discovered that some clients send evil TCP RST segments,
which are accepted by netfilter conntrack but discarded by the
destination. Thus the conntrack entry is destroyed but the destination
retransmits data until timeout.
The same technique, i.e. sending properly crafted RST segments, can easily
be used to bypass connlimit/connbytes based restrictions (the sample
script written by Robert can be found in the netfilter mailing list
archives).
The patch below adds a new flag and new field to struct ip_ct_tcp_state so
that checking RST segments can be made more strict and thus TCP conntrack
can catch the invalid ones: the RST segment is accepted only if its
sequence number higher than or equal to the highest ack we seen from the
other direction. (The last_ack field cannot be reused because it is used
to catch resent packets.)

Alexander V. Lukyanov found a regression in 2.6.29 and made a complete
analysis found in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13339
Quoted here because its a perfect one :
begin_of_quotation
2.6.29 patch has introduced flexible route cache rebuilding. Unfortunately the
patch has at least one critical flaw, and another problem.
rt_intern_hash calculates rthi pointer, which is later used for new entry
insertion. The same loop calculates cand pointer which is used to clean the
list. If the pointers are the same, rtable leak occurs, as first the cand is
removed then the new entry is appended to it.
This leak leads to unregister_netdevice problem (usage count > 0).
Another problem of the patch is that it tries to insert the entries in certain
order, to facilitate counting of entries distinct by all but QoS parameters.
Unfortunately, referencing an existing rtable entry moves it to list beginning,
to speed up further lookups, so the carefully built order is destroyed.
For the first problem the simplest patch it to set rthi=0 when rthi==cand, but
it will also destroy the ordering.
end_of_quotation
Problematic commit is 1080d709fb9d8cd4392f93476ee46a9d6ea05a5b
(net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceeded)
Trying to keep dst_entries ordered is too complex and breaks the fact that
order should depend on the frequency of use for garbage collection.
A possible fix is to make rt_intern_hash() simpler, and only makes
rt_check_expire() a litle bit smarter, being able to cope with an arbitrary
entries order. The added loop is running on cache hot data, while cpu
is prefetching next object, so should be unnoticied.

rt_check_expire() computes average and standard deviation of chain lengths,
but not correclty reset length to 0 at beginning of each chain.
This probably gives overflows for sum2 (and sum) on loaded machines instead
of meaningful results.

Its possible for cfg80211 to have scheduled the work and for
the global workqueue to not have kicked in prior to a cfg80211
driver's regulatory hint or wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory().
Although this is very unlikely its possible and should fix
this race. When this race would happen you are expected to have
hit a null pointer dereference panic.

Another design flaw in wireless extensions (is anybody
surprised?) in the way it handles the iw_encode_ext
structure: The structure is part of the 'extra' memory
but contains the key length explicitly, instead of it
just being the length of the extra buffer - size of
the struct and using the explicit key length only for
the get operation (which only writes it).
Therefore, we have this layout:
extra: +-------------------------+
| struct iw_encode_ext { |
| ... |
| u16 key_len; |
| u8 key[0]; |
| }; |
+-------------------------+
| key material |
+-------------------------+
Now, all drivers I checked use ext->key_len without
checking that both key_len and the struct fit into the
extra buffer that has been copied from userspace. This
leads to a buffer overrun while reading that buffer,
depending on the driver it may be possible to specify
arbitrary key_len or it may need to be a proper length
for the key algorithm specified.
Thankfully, this is only exploitable by root, but root
can actually cause a segfault or use kernel memory as
a key (which you can even get back with siocgiwencode
or siocgiwencodeext from the key buffer).
Fix this by verifying that key_len fits into the buffer
along with struct iw_encode_ext.

gen_estimator can overflow bps (bytes per second) with Gb links, while
it was designed with a u32 API, with a theorical limit of 34360Mbit
(2^32 bytes)
Using 64 bit intermediate avbps/brate counters can allow us to reach
this theorical limit.

It is illegal to dereference a skb after a successful ndo_start_xmit()
call. We must store skb length in a local variable instead.

Commit 518a09ef11 (tcp: Fix recvmsg MSG_PEEK influence of
blocking behavior) lets the loop run longer than the race check
did previously expect, so we need to be more careful with this
check and consider the work we have been doing.
I tried my best to deal with urg hole madness too which happens
here:
if (!sock_flag(sk, SOCK_URGINLINE)) {
++*seq;
...
by using additional offset by one but I certainly have very
little interest in testing that part.

If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which
is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all
packets for the first 20 seconds.
This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes:
* forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate
user wants to always flood packets
* optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial
timer tick
The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if
kernel STP is not being used.

Currently the bridge catches all STP packets; even if STP is turned
off. This prevents other systems (which do have STP turned on)
from being able to detect loops in the network.
With this patch, if STP is off, then any packet sent to the STP
multicast group address is forwarded to all ports.
Based on earlier patch by Joakim Tjernlund with changes
to go through forwarding (not local chain), and optimization
that only last octet needs to be checked.

If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the
DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from
a second interface. The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the
second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and
rejects the request.
This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws
away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device. A more
sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the
struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.
