net: avoid NULL deref in inet_ctl_sock_destroy()

2015-12-03T15:17:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8fa677d2706d325d71dab91bf6e6512c05214e37 ] Under low memory conditions, tcp_sk_init() and icmp_sk_init() can both iterate on all possible cpus and call inet_ctl_sock_destroy(), with eventual NULL pointer.

net-timestamp: make tcp_recvmsg call ipv6_recv_error for AF_INET6 socks

2014-11-26T20:45:04+00:00

TCP timestamping introduced MSG_ERRQUEUE handling for TCP sockets. If the socket is of family AF_INET6, call ipv6_recv_error instead of ip_recv_error. This change is more complex than a single branch due to the loadable ipv6 module. It reuses a pre-existing indirect function call from ping. The ping code is safe to call, because it is part of the core ipv6 module and always present when AF_INET6 sockets are active. Fixes: 4ed2d765 (net-timestamp: TCP timestamping) Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn ---- It may also be worthwhile to add WARN_ON_ONCE(sk->family == AF_INET6) to ip_recv_error. Signed-off-by: David S.

inet*.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-21T18:01:38+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.

net-tcp: Fast Open client - sendmsg(MSG_FASTOPEN)

2012-07-19T18:02:03+00:00

sendmsg() (or sendto()) with MSG_FASTOPEN is a combo of connect(2) and write(2). The application should replace connect() with it to send data in the opening SYN packet. For blocking socket, sendmsg() blocks until all the data are buffered locally and the handshake is completed like connect() call. It returns similar errno like connect() if the TCP handshake fails. For non-blocking socket, it returns the number of bytes queued (and transmitted in the SYN-data packet) if cookie is available. If cookie is not available, it transmits a data-less SYN packet with Fast Open cookie request option and returns -EINPROGRESS like connect(). Using MSG_FASTOPEN on connecting or connected socket will result in simlar errno like repeating connect() calls. Therefore the application should only use this flag on new sockets. The buffer size of sendmsg() is independent of the MSS of the connection. Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet, inet6: make tcp_sendmsg() and tcp_sendpage() through inet_sendmsg() and inet_sendpage()

2010-07-13T03:21:46+00:00

a new boolean flag no_autobind is added to structure proto to avoid the autobind calls when the protocol is TCP. Then sock_rps_record_flow() is called int the TCP's sendmsg() and sendpage() pathes.

[NETNS]: Inet control socket should not hold a namespace.

2008-04-03T21:28:30+00:00

This is a generic requirement, so make inet_ctl_sock_create namespace aware and create a inet_ctl_sock_destroy wrapper around sk_release_kernel. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[INET]: Rename inet_csk_ctl_sock_create to inet_ctl_sock_create.

2008-04-03T21:22:32+00:00

This call is nothing common with INET connection sockets code. It simply creates an unhashes kernel sockets for protocol messages. Move the new call into af_inet.c after the rename. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
