net: always initialize pagedlen

2018-11-25T01:42:57+00:00

In ip packet generation, pagedlen is initialized for each skb at the start of the loop in __ip(6)_append_data, before label alloc_new_skb. Depending on compiler options, code can be generated that jumps to this label, triggering use of an an uninitialized variable. In practice, at -O2, the generated code moves the initialization below the label. But the code should not rely on that for correctness.

net: Add and use skb_mark_not_on_list().

2018-09-10T17:06:54+00:00

An SKB is not on a list if skb->next is NULL. Codify this convention into a helper function and use it where we are dequeueing an SKB and need to mark it as such. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip: hash fragments consistently

2018-07-23T18:39:30+00:00

The skb hash for locally generated ip[v6] fragments belonging to the same datagram can vary in several circumstances: * for connected UDP[v6] sockets, the first fragment get its hash via set_owner_w()/skb_set_hash_from_sk() * for unconnected IPv6 UDPv6 sockets, the first fragment can get its hash via ip6_make_flowlabel()/skb_get_hash_flowi6(), if auto_flowlabel is enabled For the following frags the hash is usually computed via skb_get_hash(). The above can cause OoO for unconnected IPv6 UDPv6 socket: in that scenario the egress tx queue can be selected on a per packet basis via the skb hash. It may also fool flow-oriented schedulers to place fragments belonging to the same datagram in different flows. Fix the issue by copying the skb hash from the head frag into the others at fragmentation time.

ip: unconditionally set cork gso_size

2018-07-07T01:58:49+00:00

Now that ipc(6)->gso_size is correctly initialized in all callers of ip(6)_setup_cork, it is safe to unconditionally pass it to the cork. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180619164752.143249-1-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip: remove tx_flags from ipcm_cookie and use same logic for v4 and v6

2018-07-07T01:58:49+00:00

skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags is derived from sk->sk_tsflags, possibly after modification by __sock_cmsg_send, by calling sock_tx_timestamp. The IPv4 and IPv6 paths do this conversion differently. In IPv4, the individual protocols that support tx timestamps call this function and store the result in ipc.tx_flags. In IPv6, sock_tx_timestamp is called in __ip6_append_data. There is no need to store both tx_flags and ts_flags in the cookie as one is derived from the other. Convert when setting up the cork and remove the redundant field. This is similar to IPv6, only have the conversion happen only once per datagram, in ip(6)_setup_cork. Also change __ip6_append_data to match __ip_append_data. Only update tskey if timestamping is enabled with OPT_ID. The SOCK_.. test is redundant: only valid protocols can have non-zero cork->tx_flags. After this change the IPv4 and IPv6 logic is the same.

ipv4: ipcm_cookie initializers

net: ipv4: Hook into time based transmission

2018-07-04T13:30:27+00:00

Add a transmit_time field to struct inet_cork, then copy the timestamp from the CMSG cookie at ip_setup_cork() so we can safely copy it into the skb later during __ip_make_skb(). For the raw fast path, just perform the copy at raw_send_hdrinc(). Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: Jesus Sanchez-Palencia Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: add __ip_queue_xmit() that supports tos param

2018-07-04T02:36:54+00:00

This patch introduces __ip_queue_xmit(), through which the callers can pass tos param into it without having to set inet->tos. For ipv6, ip6_xmit() already allows passing tclass parameter. It's needed when some transport protocol doesn't use inet->tos, like sctp's per transport dscp, which will be added in next patch. Signed-off-by: Xin Long Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip: limit use of gso_size to udp

2018-06-20T05:41:04+00:00

The ipcm(6)_cookie field gso_size is set only in the udp path. The ip layer copies this to cork only if sk_type is SOCK_DGRAM. This check proved too permissive. Ping and l2tp sockets have the same type. Limit to sockets of type SOCK_DGRAM and protocol IPPROTO_UDP to exclude ping sockets. v1 -> v2 - remove irrelevant whitespace changes Fixes: bec1f6f69736 ("udp: generate gso with UDP_SEGMENT") Reported-by: Maciej Żenczykowski Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S.
