sctp: properly latch and use autoclose value from sock to association

2013-12-11T03:41:26+00:00

Currently, sctp associations latch a sockets autoclose value to an association at association init time, subject to capping constraints from the max_autoclose sysctl value. This leads to an odd situation where an application may set a socket level autoclose timeout, but sliently sctp will limit the autoclose timeout to something less than that. Fix this by modifying the autoclose setsockopt function to check the limit, cap it and warn the user via syslog that the timeout is capped. This will allow getsockopt to return valid autoclose timeout values that reflect what subsequent associations actually use. While were at it, also elimintate the assoc->autoclose variable, it duplicates whats in the timeout array, which leads to multiple sources for the same information, that may differ (as the former isn't subject to any capping). This gives us the timeout information in a canonical place and saves some space in the association structure as well.

tcp_memcontrol: Cleanup/fix cg_proto->memory_pressure handling.

2013-12-06T02:01:01+00:00

kill memcg_tcp_enter_memory_pressure. The only function of memcg_tcp_enter_memory_pressure was to reduce deal with the unnecessary abstraction that was tcp_memcontrol. Now that struct tcp_memcontrol is gone remove this unnecessary function, the unnecessary function pointer, and modify sk_enter_memory_pressure to set this field directly, just as sk_leave_memory_pressure cleas this field directly. This fixes a small bug I intruduced when killing struct tcp_memcontrol that caused memcg_tcp_enter_memory_pressure to never be called and thus failed to ever set cg_proto->memory_pressure. Remove the cg_proto enter_memory_pressure function as it now serves no useful purpose. Don't test cg_proto->memory_presser in sk_leave_memory_pressure before clearing it. The test was originally there to ensure that the pointer was non-NULL. Now that cg_proto is not a pointer the pointer does not matter. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S.

xen-netback: fix fragment detection in checksum setup

2013-12-06T01:31:40+00:00

The code to detect fragments in checksum_setup() was missing for IPv4 and too eager for IPv6. (It transpires that Windows seems to send IPv6 packets with a fragment header even if they are not a fragment - i.e. offset is zero, and M bit is not set). This patch also incorporates a fix to callers of maybe_pull_tail() where skb->network_header was being erroneously added to the length argument.

sctp: Restore 'resent' bit to avoid retransmitted chunks for RTT measurements

2013-11-28T23:29:58+00:00

Currently retransmitted DATA chunks could also be used for RTT measurements since there are no flag to identify whether the transmitted DATA chunk is a new one or a retransmitted one. This problem is introduced by commit ae19c5486 ("sctp: remove 'resent' bit from the chunk") which inappropriately removed the 'resent' bit completely, instead of doing this, we should set the resent bit only for the retransmitted DATA chunks.

inet: fix addr_len/msg->msg_namelen assignment in recv_error and rxpmtu functions

2013-11-23T22:46:23+00:00

Commit bceaa90240b6019ed73b49965eac7d167610be69 ("inet: prevent leakage of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls") conditionally updated addr_len if the msg_name is written to. The recv_error and rxpmtu functions relied on the recvmsg functions to set up addr_len before. As this does not happen any more we have to pass addr_len to those functions as well and set it to the size of the corresponding sockaddr length. This broke traceroute and such.

genetlink: fix genl_set_err() group ID

Fix another really stupid bug - I introduced genl_set_err() precisely to be able to adjust the group and reject invalid ones, but then forgot to do so. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

genetlink: fix genlmsg_multicast() bug

2013-11-21T18:09:43+00:00

Unfortunately, I introduced a tremendously stupid bug into genlmsg_multicast() when doing all those multicast group changes: it adjusts the group number, but then passes it to genlmsg_multicast_netns() which does that again. Somehow, my tests failed to catch this, so add a warning into genlmsg_multicast_netns() and remove the offending group ID adjustment. Also add a warning to the similar code in other functions so people who misuse them are more loudly warned. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer period of time" 1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink registration. Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant counts for their ops array rather than something like ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar. Also, some genetlink protocols were using fixed IDs for their multicast groups. We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by other protocols can not possibly conflict. In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state management for genetlink operations and multicast groups. 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value is one the driver actually supports. From Ben Hutchings. 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar. 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order relative to skb_scrub_packet(). From Alexei Starovoitov. 5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid. Fix from Toshiaki Makita. 6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita. 7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance decrease. One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in wireless. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts here. Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones. 9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn. 10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the virtio-net header into account. From Michael Dalton. 11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt. statistic bumping, this one has been with us for a while. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik Hugne. 13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka Rissanen. 14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt. propagating LRO disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way. From Michal Kubecek. 15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from Daniel Mack. 16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet. 17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue. 18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little. Fix from Vlad Yasevich. 19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to userspace. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. There is another fix in the works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature. 20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (106 commits) genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse genetlink: pass family to functions using groups genetlink: add and use genl_set_err() genetlink: remove family pointer from genl_multicast_group genetlink: remove genl_unregister_mc_group() hsr: don't call genl_unregister_mc_group() quota/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs drop_monitor/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops() tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair mode atm: idt77252: fix dev refcnt leak xfrm: Release dst if this dst is improper for vti tunnel netlink: fix documentation typo in netlink_set_err() be2net: Delete secondary unicast MAC addresses during be_close be2net: Fix unconditional enabling of Rx interface options net, virtio_net: replace the magic value ping: prevent NULL pointer dereference on write to msg_name bnx2x: Prevent "timeout waiting for state X" bnx2x: prevent CFC attention bnx2x: Prevent panic during DMAE timeout ...

genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse

2013-11-19T21:39:06+00:00

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.
