RxRPC: Handle VERSION Rx protocol packets

2015-04-01T15:31:26+00:00

Handle VERSION Rx protocol packets. We should respond to a VERSION packet with a string indicating the Rx version. This is a maximum of 64 characters and is padded out to 65 chars with NUL bytes. Note that other AFS clients use the version request as a NAT keepalive so we need to handle it rather than returning an abort. The standard formulation seems to be: built --

for example: " OpenAFS 1.6.2 built 2013-05-07 " (note the three extra spaces) as obtained with: rxdebug grand.mit.edu -version from the openafs package. Signed-off-by: David Howells

net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg

2015-03-02T18:06:31+00:00

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now. Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire networking stack.

net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.

2014-04-11T20:15:36+00:00

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like: skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb); sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len); But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially to freed up memory. Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is possible that the value isn't accurate. And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and even '1'. So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get fixed as a side effect. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this issue tree-wide. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

af_rxrpc: Keep rxrpc_call pointers in a hashtable

2014-03-04T10:36:53+00:00

Keep track of rxrpc_call structures in a hashtable so they can be found directly from the network parameters which define the call. This allows incoming packets to be routed directly to a call without walking through hierarchy of peer -> transport -> connection -> call and all the spinlocks that that entailed.

af_rxrpc: Expose more RxRPC parameters via sysctls

2014-02-26T17:25:07+00:00

Expose RxRPC parameters via sysctls to control the Rx window size, the Rx MTU maximum size and the number of packets that can be glued into a jumbo packet. More info added to Documentation/networking/rxrpc.txt. Signed-off-by: David Howells

af_rxrpc: Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC parameters

2014-02-26T17:25:06+00:00

Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC protocol handling, specifically controls on delays before ack generation, the delay before resending a packet, the maximum lifetime of a call and the expiration times of calls, connections and transports that haven't been recently used. More info added in Documentation/networking/rxrpc.txt. Signed-off-by: David Howells

net: misc: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-10-19T23:12:11+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

Add a dummy printk function for the maintenance of unused printks

2010-08-12T16:51:35+00:00

Add a dummy printk function for the maintenance of unused printks through gcc format checking, and also so that side-effect checking is maintained too. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
