git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211-next Johannes Berg says: ==================== For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases: * socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain operations, and can opt in to this where applicable * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space) * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the kernel, which was already available to userspace * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no room to add them * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of magnitude) * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for MAC address privacy (still requires driver support) * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-01-14tcp: remove thin_dupack featureYuchung Cheng1-1/+1
Thin stream DUPACK is to start fast recovery on only one DUPACK provided the connection is a thin stream (i.e., low inflight). But this older feature is now subsumed with RACK. If a connection receives only a single DUPACK, RACK would arm a reordering timer and soon starts fast recovery instead of timeout if no further ACKs are received. The socket option (THIN_DUPACK) is kept as a nop for compatibility. Note that this patch does not change another thin-stream feature which enables linear RTO. Although it might be good to generalize that in the future (i.e., linear RTO for the first say 3 retries).

2017-01-14tcp: remove early retransmitYuchung Cheng2-21/+1
This patch removes the support of RFC5827 early retransmit (i.e., fast recovery on small inflight with <3 dupacks) because it is subsumed by the new RACK loss detection. More specifically when RACK receives DUPACKs, it'll arm a reordering timer to start fast recovery after a quarter of (min)RTT, hence it covers the early retransmit except RACK does not limit itself to specific inflight or dupack numbers.

2017-01-14tcp: remove forward retransmit featureYuchung Cheng1-1/+0
Forward retransmit is an esoteric feature in RFC3517 (condition(3) in the NextSeg()). Basically if a packet is not considered lost by the current criteria (# of dupacks etc), but the congestion window has room for more packets, then retransmit this packet. However it actually conflicts with the rest of recovery design. For example, when reordering is detected we want to be conservative in retransmitting packets but forward-retransmit feature would break that to force more retransmission. Also the implementation is fairly complicated inside the retransmission logic inducing extra iterations in the write queue. With RACK losses are being detected timely and this heuristic is no longer necessary. There this patch removes the feature.

2017-01-14tcp: enable RACK loss detection to trigger recoveryYuchung Cheng1-7/+4
This patch changes two things: 1. Start fast recovery with RACK in addition to other heuristics (e.g., DUPACK threshold, FACK). Prior to this change RACK is enabled to detect losses only after the recovery has started by other algorithms. 2. Disable TCP early retransmit. RACK subsumes the early retransmit with the new reordering timer feature. A latter patch in this series removes the early retransmit code.

2017-01-14tcp: use sequence to break TS ties for RACK loss detectionYuchung Cheng2-1/+2
The packets inside a jumbo skb (e.g., TSO) share the same skb timestamp, even though they are sent sequentially on the wire. Since RACK is based on time, it can not detect some packets inside the same skb are lost. However, we can leverage the packet sequence numbers as extended timestamps to detect losses. Therefore, when RACK timestamp is identical to skb's timestamp (i.e., one of the packets of the skb is acked or sacked), we use the sequence numbers of the acked and unacked packets to break ties. We can use the same sequence logic to advance RACK xmit time as well to detect more losses and avoid timeout.

2017-01-14tcp: add reordering timer in RACK loss detectionYuchung Cheng2-1/+7
This patch makes RACK install a reordering timer when it suspects some packets might be lost, but wants to delay the decision a little bit to accomodate reordering. It does not create a new timer but instead repurposes the existing RTO timer, because both are meant to retransmit packets. Specifically it arms a timer ICSK_TIME_REO_TIMEOUT when the RACK timing check fails. The wait time is set to RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd - (NOW - Packet.xmit_time) + fudge This translates to expecting a packet (Packet) should take (RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd + fudge) to deliver after it was sent. When there are multiple packets that need a timer, we use one timer with the maximum timeout. Therefore the timer conservatively uses the maximum window to expire N packets by one timeout, instead of N timeouts to expire N packets sent at different times. The fudge factor is 2 jiffies to ensure when the timer fires, all the suspected packets would exceed the deadline and be marked lost by tcp_rack_detect_loss(). It has to be at least 1 jiffy because the clock may tick between calling icsk_reset_xmit_timer(timeout) and actually hang the timer. The next jiffy is to lower-bound the timeout to 2 jiffies when reo_wnd is < 1ms. When the reordering timer fires (tcp_rack_reo_timeout): If we aren't in Recovery we'll enter fast recovery and force fast retransmit. This is very similar to the early retransmit (RFC5827) except RACK is not constrained to only enter recovery for small outstanding flights.

2017-01-14tcp: record most recent RTT in RACK loss detectionYuchung Cheng2-3/+5
Record the most recent RTT in RACK. It is often identical to the "ca_rtt_us" values in tcp_clean_rtx_queue. But when the packet has been retransmitted, RACK choses to believe the ACK is for the (latest) retransmitted packet if the RTT is over minimum RTT. This requires passing the arrival time of the most recent ACK to RACK routines. The timestamp is now recorded in the "ack_time" in tcp_sacktag_state during the ACK processing. This patch does not change the RACK algorithm itself. It only adds the RTT variable to prepare the next main patch.

The function documentation for cfg80211_connect_bss() and cfg80211_connect_result() was still claiming that they are used only for a success case while these functions can now be used to report both success and various failure cases. The actual use cases were already described in the connect() documentation. Update the function specific comments to note the failure cases and also describe how the special status == -1 case is used in cfg80211_connect_bss() to indicate a connection timeout based on the internal implementation in cfg80211_connect_timeout().

Add support to use a random local address (Address 2 = TA in transmit and the same address in receive functionality) for Public Action frames in order to improve privacy of WLAN clients. Applications fill the random transmit address in the frame buffer in the NL80211_CMD_FRAME command. This can be used only with the drivers that indicate support for random local address by setting the new NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_MGMT_TX_RANDOM_TA and/or NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_MGMT_TX_RANDOM_TA_CONNECTED in ext_features. The driver needs to configure receive behavior to accept frames to the specified random address during the time the frame exchange is pending and such frames need to be acknowledged similarly to frames sent to the local permanent address when this random address functionality is not used.

2017-01-13ipmr: improve hash scalabilityNikolay Aleksandrov1-15/+42
Recently we started using ipmr with thousands of entries and easily hit soft lockups on smaller devices. The reason is that the hash function uses the high order bits from the src and dst, but those don't change in many common cases, also the hash table is only 64 elements so with thousands it doesn't scale at all. This patch migrates the hash table to rhashtable, and in particular the rhl interface which allows for duplicate elements to be chained because of the MFC_PROXY support (*,G; *,*,oif cases) which allows for multiple duplicate entries to be added with different interfaces (IMO wrong, but it's been in for a long time). And here are some results from tests I've run in a VM: mr_table size (default, allocated for all namespaces): Before After 49304 bytes 2400 bytes Add 65000 routes (the diff is much larger on smaller devices): Before After 1m42s 58s Forwarding 256 byte packets with 65000 routes (test done in a VM): Before After 3 Mbps / ~1465 pps 122 Mbps / ~59000 pps As a bonus we no longer see the soft lockups on smaller devices which showed up even with 2000 entries before.

2017-01-12bpf: pass original insn directly to convert_ctx_accessDaniel Borkmann1-3/+4
Currently, when calling convert_ctx_access() callback for the various program types, we pass in insn->dst_reg, insn->src_reg, insn->off from the original instruction. This information is needed to rewrite the instruction that is based on the user ctx structure into a kernel representation for the ctx. As we'd like to allow access size beyond just BPF_W, we'd need also insn->code for that in order to decode the original access size. Given that, lets just pass insn directly to the convert_ctx_access() callback and work on that to not clutter the callback with even more arguments we need to pass when everything is already contained in insn.

IOW, reuse_swap_page can reuse the page without waiting writeback completion so it can overwrite page zram is compressing. Unfortunately, zram has used per-cpu stream feature from v4.7. It aims for increasing cache hit ratio of scratch buffer for compressing. Downside of that approach is that zram should ask memory space for compressed page in per-cpu context which requires stricted gfp flag which could be failed. If so, it retries to allocate memory space out of per-cpu context so it could get memory this time and compress the data again, copies it to the memory space. In this scenario, zram assumes the data should never be changed but it is not true unless stable page supports. So, If the data is changed under us, zram can make buffer overrun because second compression size could be bigger than one we got in previous trial and blindly, copy bigger size object to smaller buffer which is buffer overrun. The overrun breaks zsmalloc free object chaining so system goes crash like above. I think below is same problem. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997574 Unfortunately, reuse_swap_page should be atomic so that we cannot wait on writeback in there so the approach in this patch is simply return false if we found it needs stable page. Although it increases memory footprint temporarily, it happens rarely and it should be reclaimed easily althoug it happened. Also, It would be better than waiting of IO completion, which is critial path for application latency.

page_frag_free Patch series "Page fragment updates", v4. This patch series takes care of a few cleanups for the page fragments API. First we do some renames so that things are much more consistent. First we move the page_frag_ portion of the name to the front of the functions names. Secondly we split out the cache specific functions from the other page fragment functions by adding the word "cache" to the name. Finally I added a bit of documentation that will hopefully help to explain some of this. I plan to revisit this later as we get things more ironed out in the near future with the changes planned for the DMA setup to support eXpress Data Path. This patch (of 3): This patch renames the page frag functions to be more consistent with other APIs. Specifically we place the name page_frag first in the name and then have either an alloc or free call name that we append as the suffix. This makes it a bit clearer in terms of naming. In addition we drop the leading double underscores since we are technically no longer a backing interface and instead the front end that is called from the networking APIs.

Further debugging has shown that the reclaim cannot make any forward progress because the page cache is hidden in the active list which doesn't get rotated because inactive_list_is_low is not memcg aware. The code simply subtracts per-zone highmem counters from the respective memcg's lru sizes which doesn't make any sense. We can simply end up always seeing the resulting active and inactive counts 0 and return false. This issue is not limited to 32b kernels but in practice the effect on systems without CONFIG_HIGHMEM would be much harder to notice because we do not invoke the OOM killer for allocations requests targeting < ZONE_NORMAL. Fix the issue by tracking per zone lru page counts in mem_cgroup_per_node and subtract per-memcg highmem counts when memcg is enabled. Introduce helper lruvec_zone_lru_size which redirects to either zone counters or mem_cgroup_get_zone_lru_size when appropriate. We are losing empty LRU but non-zero lru size detection introduced by ca707239e8a7 ("mm: update_lru_size warn and reset bad lru_size") because of the inherent zone vs. node discrepancy.

2017-01-11signal: protect SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE from unintentional clearing.Jamie Iles1-0/+10
Since commit 00cd5c37afd5 ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we can now trace init processes. init is initially protected with SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can be implicitly cleared. This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing. For example, running: while true; do kill -STOP 1; done & strace -p 1 and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being left in state TASK_STOPPED. Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring them. Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.

2017-01-11dax: wrprotect pmd_t in dax_mapping_entry_mkcleanRoss Zwisler1-2/+0
Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect the pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation. This can result in data loss in the following sequence: 1) mmap write to DAX PMD, dirtying PMD radix tree entry and making the pmd_t dirty and writeable 2) fsync, flushing out PMD data and cleaning the radix tree entry. We currently fail to mark the pmd_t as clean and write protected. 3) more mmap writes to the PMD. These don't cause any page faults since the pmd_t is dirty and writeable. The radix tree entry remains clean. 4) fsync, which fails to flush the dirty PMD data because the radix tree entry was clean. 5) crash - dirty data that should have been fsync'd as part of 4) could still have been in the processor cache, and is lost. Fix this by marking the pmd_t clean and write protected in dax_mapping_entry_mkclean(), which is called as part of the fsync operation 2). This will cause the writes in step 3) above to generate page faults where we'll re-dirty the PMD radix tree entry, resulting in flushes in the fsync that happens in step 4).

The GRO fast path caches the frag0 address. This address becomes invalid if frag0 is modified by pskb_may_pull or its variants. So whenever that happens we must disable the frag0 optimization. This is usually done through the combination of gro_header_hard and gro_header_slow, however, the IPv6 extension header path did the pulling directly and would continue to use the GRO fast path incorrectly. This patch fixes it by disabling the fast path when we enter the IPv6 extension header path.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5 4K UAR The following series of patches optimizes the usage of the UAR area which is contained within the BAR 0-1. Previous versions of the firmware and the driver assumed each system page contains a single UAR. This patch set will query the firmware for a new capability that if published, means that the firmware can support UARs of fixed 4K regardless of system page size. In the case of powerpc, where page size equals 64KB, this means we can utilize 16 UARs per system page. Since user space processes by default consume eight UARs per context this means that with this change a process will need a single system page to fulfill that requirement and in fact make use of more UARs which is better in terms of performance. In addition to optimizing user-space processes, we introduce an allocator that can be used by kernel consumers to allocate blue flame registers (which are areas within a UAR that are used to write doorbells). This provides further optimization on using the UAR area since the Ethernet driver makes use of a single blue flame register per system page and now it will use two blue flame registers per 4K. The series also makes changes to naming conventions and now the terms used in the driver code match the terms used in the PRM (programmers reference manual). Thus, what used to be called UUAR (micro UAR) is now called BFREG (blue flame register). In order to support compatibility between different versions of library/driver/firmware, the library has now means to notify the kernel driver that it supports the new scheme and the kernel can notify the library if it supports this extension. So mixed versions of libraries can run concurrently without any issues. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2017-01-10smc: establish pnet table managementThomas Richter1-0/+35
Connection creation with SMC-R starts through an internal TCP-connection. The Ethernet interface for this TCP-connection is not restricted to the Ethernet interface of a RoCE device. Any existing Ethernet interface belonging to the same physical net can be used, as long as there is a defined relation between the Ethernet interface and some RoCE devices. This relation is defined with the help of an identification string called "Physical Net ID" or short "pnet ID". Information about defined pnet IDs and their related Ethernet interfaces and RoCE devices is stored in the SMC-R pnet table. A pnet table entry consists of the identifying pnet ID and the associated network and IB device. This patch adds pnet table configuration support using the generic netlink message interface referring to network and IB device by their names. Commands exist to add, delete, and display pnet table entries, and to flush or display the entire pnet table. There are cross-checks to verify whether the ethernet interfaces or infiniband devices really exist in the system. If either device is not available, the pnet ID entry is not created. Loss of network devices and IB devices is also monitored; a pnet ID entry is removed when an associated network or IB device is removed.

These drivers have their own DT bindings that are not compatible with stmmac's.

2017-01-09siphash: implement HalfSipHash1-3 for hash tablesJason A. Donenfeld1-1/+56
HalfSipHash, or hsiphash, is a shortened version of SipHash, which generates 32-bit outputs using a weaker 64-bit key. It has *much* lower security margins, and shouldn't be used for anything too sensitive, but it could be used as a hashtable key function replacement, if the output is never exposed, and if the security requirement is not too high. The goal is to make this something that performance-critical jhash users would be willing to use. On 64-bit machines, HalfSipHash1-3 is slower than SipHash1-3, so we alias SipHash1-3 to HalfSipHash1-3 on those systems. 64-bit x86_64: [ 0.509409] test_siphash: SipHash2-4 cycles: 4049181 [ 0.510650] test_siphash: SipHash1-3 cycles: 2512884 [ 0.512205] test_siphash: HalfSipHash1-3 cycles: 3429920 [ 0.512904] test_siphash: JenkinsHash cycles: 978267 So, we map hsiphash() -> SipHash1-3 32-bit x86: [ 0.509868] test_siphash: SipHash2-4 cycles: 14812892 [ 0.513601] test_siphash: SipHash1-3 cycles: 9510710 [ 0.515263] test_siphash: HalfSipHash1-3 cycles: 3856157 [ 0.515952] test_siphash: JenkinsHash cycles: 1148567 So, we map hsiphash() -> HalfSipHash1-3 hsiphash() is roughly 3 times slower than jhash(), but comes with a considerable security improvement.

2017-01-09siphash: add cryptographically secure PRFJason A. Donenfeld1-0/+85
SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast, and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function, or as a general PRF for short input use cases, such as sequence numbers or RNG chaining. For the first usage: There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector. Currently hashtables use jhash, which is fast but not secure, and some kind of rotating key scheme (or none at all, which isn't good). SipHash is meant as a replacement for jhash in these cases. There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate. While SipHash is extremely fast for a cryptographically secure function, it is likely a bit slower than the insecure jhash, and so replacements will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on whether or not the difference in speed is negligible and whether or not the current jhash usage poses a real security risk. For the second usage: A few places in the kernel are using MD5 or SHA1 for creating secure sequence numbers, syn cookies, port numbers, or fast random numbers. SipHash is a faster and more fitting, and more secure replacement for MD5 in those situations. Replacing MD5 and SHA1 with SipHash for these uses is obvious and straight-forward, and so is submitted along with this patch series. There shouldn't be much of a debate over its efficacy. Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash tables and PRFs. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels. SipHash is a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known set of problems, and it's time we catch-up. Signed-off-by: Jason A.
