inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket lists

2013-03-28T19:17:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5a3da1fe9561828d0ca7eca664b16ec2b9bf0055 ] This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu. If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed. This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish between the different users of inet_fragment.c. I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path, because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

ipv4: fix definition of FIB_TABLE_HASHSZ

Lunev Date: Thu Jan 10 03:23:38 2008 -0800 [IPV4]: Unify access to the routing tables. the defenition of FIB_HASH_TABLE size has obtained wrong dependency: it should depend upon CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES (as was in the original code) but it was depended from CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH This patch returns the situation to the original state.

ipv4: fix error handling in icmp_protocol.

2013-02-28T13:38:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5b0520425e5ea81ba95ec486dd6bbb59a09fff0e ] Now we handle icmp errors in each transport protocol's err_handler, for icmp protocols, that is ping_err. Since this handler only care of those icmp errors triggered by echo request, errors triggered by echo reply(which sent by kernel) are sliently ignored. So wrap ping_err() with icmp_err() to deal with those icmp errors. Signed-off-by: Li Wei Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ipv6: use a stronger hash for tcp

2013-02-28T13:38:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 08dcdbf6a7b9d14c2302c5bd0c5390ddf122f664 ] It looks like its possible to open thousands of TCP IPv6 sessions on a server, all landing in a single slot of TCP hash table. Incoming packets have to lookup sockets in a very long list. We should hash all bits from foreign IPv6 addresses, using a salt and hash mix, not a simple XOR. inet6_ehashfn() can also separately use the ports, instead of xoring them.

To fix this issue, split 'from' and 'expires' field in dst_entry out of union. Once it is 'from' is assigned in the constructor, keep the reference until the very last stage of the life time of the object. Of course, it is unsafe to change 'from', so make rt6_set_from simple just for fresh entries.

ipv6: rename datagram_send_ctl and datagram_recv_ctl

2013-01-31T18:53:08+00:00

The datagram_*_ctl functions in net/ipv6/datagram.c are IPv6-specific. Since datagram_send_ctl is publicly exported it should be appropriately named to reflect the fact that it's for IPv6 only. Signed-off-by: Tom Parkin Signed-off-by: James Chapman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Add a socket release callback for datagram sockets

2013-01-21T19:17:05+00:00

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix BUG_ON while removing nf_conntrack with netns

2013-01-12T13:12:36+00:00

canqun zhang reported that we're hitting BUG_ON in the nf_conntrack_destroy path when calling kfree_skb while rmmod'ing the nf_conntrack module. Currently, the nf_ct_destroy hook is being set to NULL in the destroy path of conntrack.init_net. However, this is a problem since init_net may be destroyed before any other existing netns (we cannot assume any specific ordering while releasing existing netns according to what I read in recent emails). Thanks to Gao feng for initial patch to address this issue. Reported-by: canqun zhang Acked-by: Gao feng Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

Merge branch 'master' of git://1984.lsi.us.es/nf

2012-12-28T22:28:17+00:00

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== The following batch contains Netfilter fixes for 3.8-rc1. They are a mixture of old bugs that have passed unnoticed (I'll pass these to stable) and more fresh ones from the previous merge window, they are: * Fix for MAC address in 6in4 tunnels via NFLOG that results in ulogd showing up wrong address, from Bob Hockney. * Fix a comment in nf_conntrack_ipv6, from Florent Fourcot. * Fix a leak an error path in ctnetlink while creating an expectation, from Jesper Juhl. * Fix missing ICMP time exceeded in the IPv6 defragmentation code, from Haibo Xi. * Fix inconsistent handling of routing changes in MASQUERADE for the new connections case, from Andrew Collins. * Fix a missing skb_reset_transport in ip[6]t_REJECT that leads to crashes in the ixgbe driver (since it seems to access the transport header with TSO enabled), from Mukund Jampala. * Recover obsoleted NOTRACK target by including it into the CT and spot a warning via printk about being obsoleted. Many people don't check the scheduled to be removal file under Documentation, so we follow some less agressive approach to kill this in a year or so. Spotted by Florian Westphal, patch from myself. * Fix race condition in xt_hashlimit that allows to create two or more entries, from myself. * Fix crash if the CT is used due to the recently added facilities to consult the dying and unconfirmed conntrack lists, from myself. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
