2015-06-25netconsole: implement extended console supportTejun Heo1-2/+139
printk logbuf keeps various metadata and optional key=value dictionary for structured messages, both of which are stripped when messages are handed to regular console drivers. It can be useful to have this metadata and dictionary available to netconsole consumers. This obviously makes logging via netconsole more complete and the sequence number in particular is useful in environments where messages may be lost or reordered in transit - e.g. when netconsole is used to collect messages in a large cluster where packets may have to travel congested hops to reach the aggregator. The lost and reordered messages can easily be identified and handled accordingly using the sequence numbers. printk recently added extended console support which can be selected by setting CON_EXTENDED flag. From console driver side, not much changes. The only difference is that the text passed to the write callback is formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg. This patch implements extended console support for netconsole which can be enabled by either prepending "+" to a netconsole boot param entry or echoing 1 to "extended" file in configfs. When enabled, netconsole transmits extended log messages with headers identical to /dev/kmsg output. There's one complication due to message fragments. netconsole limits the maximum message size to 1k and messages longer than that are split into multiple fragments. As all extended console messages should carry matching headers and be uniquely identifiable, each extended message fragment carries full copy of the metadata and an extra header field to identify the specific fragment. The optional header is of the form "ncfrag=OFF/LEN" where OFF is the byte offset into the message body and LEN is the total length. To avoid unnecessarily making printk format extended messages, Extended netconsole is registered with printk when the first extended netconsole is configured.

2015-06-25netconsole: make all dynamic netconsoles share a mutexTejun Heo1-5/+3
Currently, each dynamic netconsole_target uses its own separate mutex to synchronize the configuration operations. This patch replaces the per-netconsole_target mutexes with a single mutex - dynamic_netconsole_mutex. The reduced granularity doesn't hurt anything, the code is minutely simpler and this'd allow adding operations which should be synchronized across all dynamic netconsoles.

2015-06-25netconsole: remove unnecessary netconsole_target_get/out() from write_msg()Tejun Heo1-2/+0
write_msg() grabs target_list_lock and walks target_list invoking netpool_send_udp() on each target. Curiously, it protects each iteration with netconsole_target_get/put() even though it never releases target_list_lock which protects all the members. While this doesn't harm anything, it doesn't serve any purpose either. The items on the list can't go away while target_list_lock is held. Remove the unnecessary get/put pair.

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h drivers/net/netconsole.c net/bridge/br_private.h Three mostly trivial conflicts. The net/bridge/br_private.h conflict was a function signature (argument addition) change overlapping with the extern removals from Joe Perches. In drivers/net/netconsole.c we had one change adjusting a printk message whilst another changed "printk(KERN_INFO" into "pr_info(".

2013-10-25netconsole: fix multiple race conditionsNikolay Aleksandrov1-7/+3
In every netconsole option that can be set through configfs there's a race when checking for nt->enabled since it can be modified at the same time. Probably the most damage can be done by store_enabled when racing with another instance of itself. Fix all the races with one stone by moving the mutex lock around the ->store call for all options.

2013-10-25netconsole: fix NULL pointer dereferenceNikolay Aleksandrov1-0/+8
We need to disable the netconsole (enabled = 0) before setting nt->np.dev to NULL because otherwise we might still have users after the netpoll_cleanup() since nt->enabled is set afterwards and we can have a message which will result in a NULL pointer dereference. It is very easy to hit dereferences all over the netpoll_send_udp function by running the following two loops in parallel: while [ 1 ]; do echo 1 > enabled; echo 0 > enabled; done; while [ 1 ]; do echo 00:11:22:33:44:55 > remote_mac; done; (the second loop is to generate messages, it can be done by anything) We're safe to set nt->np.dev = NULL and nt->enabled = 0 with the spinlock since it's required in the write_msg() function.

2013-09-19netconsole: fix a deadlock with rtnl and netconsole's mutexNikolay Aleksandrov1-4/+1
This bug was introduced by commit 7a163bfb7ce50895bbe67300ea610d31b9c09230 ("netconsole: avoid a crash with multiple sysfs writers"). In store_enabled() we have the following sequence: acquire nt->mutex then rtnl, but in the netconsole netdev notifier we have rtnl then nt->mutex effectively leading to a deadlock. The NULL pointer dereference that the above commit tries to fix is actually due to another bug in netpoll_cleanup(). This is fixed by dropping the mutex from the netdev notifier as it's already protected by rtnl. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-09-03netconsole: avoid a crash with multiple sysfs writersDan Aloni1-1/+12
When my 'ifup eth' script was fired multiple times and ran concurrent on my laptop, for some obscure /etc scripting reason, it was revealed that the store_enabled() function in netconsole doesn't handle it nicely, as recorded by the Oops below (a syslog paste, but not mangled too much to prevent from discerning the traceback). On Linux 3.10.4, this patch seeks to remedy the problem, and it has been running stable on my laptop for a few days.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...

V3: rename NETDEV_ENSLAVE to NETDEV_JOIN Currently we do nothing when we enslave a net device which is running netconsole.

By the way, this patch also removes the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN from netconsole netdev notifier, because netpoll will check if the device is running or not and we don't handle NETDEV_PRE_UP neither.

Target usage: if (!mac_pton(str, whatever->mac)) return -EINVAL; /* ->mac being u8 [ETH_ALEN] is filled at this point. */ /* optionally check str[3 * ETH_ALEN - 1] for termination */ Use mac_pton() in pktgen and netconsole for start.

2011-04-22netconsole: fix deadlock when removing net driver that netconsole is using (v2)Neil Horman1-0/+8
A deadlock was reported to me recently that occured when netconsole was being used in a virtual guest. If the virtio_net driver was removed while netconsole was setup to use an interface that was driven by that driver, the guest deadlocked. No backtrace was provided because netconsole was the only console configured, but it became clear pretty quickly what the problem was. In netconsole_netdev_event, if we get an unregister event, we call __netpoll_cleanup with the target_list_lock held and irqs disabled. __netpoll_cleanup can, if pending netpoll packets are waiting call cancel_delayed_work_sync, which is a sleeping path. the might_sleep call in that path gets triggered, causing a console warning to be issued. The netconsole write handler of course tries to take the target_list_lock again, which we already hold, causing deadlock. The fix is pretty striaghtforward. Simply drop the target_list_lock and re-enable irqs prior to calling __netpoll_cleanup, the re-acquire the lock, and restart the loop. Confirmed by myself to fix the problem reported.

2010-05-06netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devicesWANG Cong1-6/+9
This whole patchset is for adding netpoll support to bridge and bonding devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding, and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now. To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things: 1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device: IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll; IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device at run-time; 2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops: ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is removed. 3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter; export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later; 4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto. 5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll. 6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-05-01netconsole: take care of NETDEV_UNREGISTER eventBruno Prémont1-1/+10
When netconsole is loaded and a network interface fades away (e.g. on rmmod $interface_driver_module) the rmmod remains stuck and some locks are taken that prevent any additional module loading/unloading as well as interface up/down changes. In addition kernel logs (and console) get flooded at 10s interval with [ 122.464065] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1 [ 132.704059] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free.

2008-04-15netconsole: only set CON_PRINTBUFFER if the user specifies a netconsoleMichael Ellerman1-1/+4
Since 0bcc1816188e570bde1d56a208996660f2633ae0 (netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs), the netconsole is always registered, regardless of whether the user actually specified a netconsole configuration on the command line. However because netconsole has CON_PRINTBUFFER set, when it is registered it causes the printk buffer to be replayed to all consoles. When there is no netconsole configured this is a) pointless, and b) somewhat annoying for the user of the existing console. So instead we should only set CON_PRINTBUFFER if there is a netconsole configuration found on the command line. This retains the existing behaviour if a netconsole is setup by the user, and avoids spamming other consoles when we're only registering for the dynamic netconsole case.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfsSatyam Sharma1-26/+579
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated accordingly. Issues and brief design overview: (1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there. (2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus, netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls. (3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt. (4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API, that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure. netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to be used from netconsole.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Support multiple logging targetsSatyam Sharma1-40/+131
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and (including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really add too many bytes to module text. All the complexity (and size) comes with the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too). Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string. Brief overview: We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock). Get rid of the static "default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour such as default values). During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option string. The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup. During exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Introduce netconsole_netdev_notifierSatyam Sharma1-0/+32
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. To update fields of underlying netpoll structure at runtime on corresponding NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME notifications. ioctl(SIOCSIFHWADDR or SIOCSIFNAME) could be used to change the hardware/MAC address or name of the local interface that our netpoll is attached to. Whenever this happens, netdev notifier chain is called out with the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME event message. We respond to that and update the local_mac or dev_name field of the struct netpoll. This makes sense anyway, but is especially required for dynamic netconsole because the netpoll structure's internal members become user visible files when either sysfs or configfs are used. So this helps us to keep up with the MAC address/name changes and keep values in struct netpoll uptodate. [ Note that ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) to change IP address of interface at runtime is not handled (to update local_ip of netpoll) on purpose -- some setups may set the local_ip to a private address, not necessary the actual IP address of the sender host, as presently allowed. ] Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma <satyam@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Simplify boot/module option setup logicSatyam Sharma1-13/+14
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. Presently, boot/module parameters are set up quite differently for the case of built-in netconsole (__setup() -> obsolete_checksetup() -> netpoll_parse_options() -> strlen(config) == 0 in init_netconsole()) vs modular netconsole (module_param_string() -> string copied to the config variable -> strlen(config) != 0 init_netconsole() -> netpoll_parse_options()). This patch makes both of them similar by doing exactly the equivalent of a module_param_string() in option_setup() also -- just copying the param string passed from the kernel command line into "config" variable. So, strlen(config) != 0 in both cases, and netpoll_parse_options() is always called from init_netconsole(), thus making the setup logic for both cases similar. Now, option_setup() is only ever called / used for the built-in case, so we put it inside a #ifndef MODULE, otherwise gcc will complain about option_setup() being "defined but not used". Also, the "configured" variable is redundant with this patch and hence removed.
