2013-11-20ipv4: fix race in concurrent ip_route_input_slow()Alexei Starovoitov1-2/+6
CPUs can ask for local route via ip_route_input_noref() concurrently. if nh_rth_input is not cached yet, CPUs will proceed to allocate equivalent DSTs on 'lo' and then will try to cache them in nh_rth_input via rt_cache_route() Most of the time they succeed, but on occasion the following two lines: orig = *p; prev = cmpxchg(p, orig, rt); in rt_cache_route() do race and one of the cpus fails to complete cmpxchg. But ip_route_input_slow() doesn't check the return code of rt_cache_route(), so dst is leaking. dst_destroy() is never called and 'lo' device refcnt doesn't go to zero, which can be seen in the logs as: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1 Adding mdelay() between above two lines makes it easily reproducible. Fix it similar to nh_pcpu_rth_output case. Fixes: d2d68ba9fe8b ("ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.")

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 ...
2013-11-19genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops()Johannes Berg1-2/+1
As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

2013-11-19tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair modeAndrey Vagin1-1/+0
snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head. Otherwise tp->packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic. Here is a kernel panic from my host. [ 103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048 [ 103.044025] IP: [<ffffffff815aaaaf>] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150 ... [ 146.301158] Call Trace: [ 146.301158] [<ffffffff815ab7f0>] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0 Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode, then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode. In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this: snd_una snd_nxt write_seq |_________|________| | sk_send_head After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was changed: snd_una snd_nxt, write_seq |_________ ________| | sk_send_head This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized. Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized. In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when sk_write_queue is empty. tcp_write_wakeup skb = tcp_send_head(sk); tcp_fragment if (!before(tp->snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)->end_seq)) tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff); tcp_event_new_data_sent tp->packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb); I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from repair mode. Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent, so it's always is in consistent state. I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.

2013-11-14tcp: tsq: restore minimal amount of queueingEric Dumazet2-7/+5
After commit c9eeec26e32e ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit"), several users reported throughput regressions, notably on mvneta and wifi adapters. 802.11 AMPDU requires a fair amount of queueing to be effective. This patch partially reverts the change done in tcp_write_xmit() so that the minimal amount is sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes. It also remove the use of this sysctl while building skb stored in write queue, as TSO autosizing does the right thing anyway. Users with well behaving NICS and correct qdisc (like sch_fq), can then lower the default sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes value from 128KB to 8KB. This new usage of sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes permits each driver authors to check how their driver performs when/if the value is set to a minimum of 4KB. Normally, line rate for a single TCP flow should be possible, but some drivers rely on timers to perform TX completion and too long TX completion delays prevent reaching full throughput.

2013-11-06net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdepJohn Stultz2-1/+21
In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we must explicitly initialize any locks. The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize the structure. This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes this worth while. Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with the seqcount lockdep enablement.

2013-11-05ipv4: introduce new IP_MTU_DISCOVER mode IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACEHannes Frederic Sowa4-5/+10
Sockets marked with IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE won't do path mtu discovery, their sockets won't accept and install new path mtu information and they will always use the interface mtu for outgoing packets. It is guaranteed that the packet is not fragmented locally. But we won't set the DF-Flag on the outgoing frames. Florian Weimer had the idea to use this flag to ensure DNS servers are never generating outgoing fragments. They may well be fragmented on the path, but the server never stores or usees path mtu values, which could well be forged in an attack. (The root of the problem with path MTU discovery is that there is no reliable way to authenticate ICMP Fragmentation Needed But DF Set messages because they are sent from intermediate routers with their source addresses, and the IMCP payload will not always contain sufficient information to identify a flow.) Recent research in the DNS community showed that it is possible to implement an attack where DNS cache poisoning is feasible by spoofing fragments. This work was done by Amir Herzberg and Haya Shulman: <https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf> This issue was previously discussed among the DNS community, e.g. <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg01204.html>, without leading to fixes. This patch depends on the patch "ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORK" for the enforcement of the non-fragmentable checks. If other users than ip_append_page/data should use this semantic too, we have to add a new flag to IPCB(skb)->flags to suppress local fragmentation and check for this in ip_finish_output.

2013-11-04tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow startYuchung Cheng14-67/+56
Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets, regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK, GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1) to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase. In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start (LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow start (hystart) enabled by default.

2013-10-29tcp: temporarily disable Fast Open on SYN timeoutYuchung Cheng2-3/+8
Fast Open currently has a fall back feature to address SYN-data being dropped but it requires the middle-box to pass on regular SYN retry after SYN-data. This is implemented in commit aab487435 ("net-tcp: Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops") However some NAT boxes will drop all subsequent packets after first SYN-data and blackholes the entire connections. An example is in commit 356d7d8 "netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix tcp_in_window for Fast Open". The sender should note such incidents and fall back to use the regular TCP handshake on subsequent attempts temporarily as well: after the second SYN timeouts the original Fast Open SYN is most likely lost. When such an event recurs Fast Open is disabled based on the number of recurrences exponentially.

2013-10-29ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORKHannes Frederic Sowa1-4/+8
UFO as well as UDP_CORK do not respect IP_PMTUDISC_DO and IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE well enough. UFO enabled packet delivery just appends all frags to the cork and hands it over to the network card. So we just deliver non-DF udp fragments (DF-flag may get overwritten by hardware or virtual UFO enabled interface). UDP_CORK does enqueue the data until the cork is disengaged. At this point it sets the correct IP_DF and local_df flags and hands it over to ip_fragment which in this case will generate an icmp error which gets appended to the error socket queue. This is not reflected in the syscall error (of course, if UFO is enabled this also won't happen). Improve this by checking the pmtudisc flags before appending data to the socket and if we still can fit all data in one packet when IP_PMTUDISC_DO or IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE is set, only then proceed. We use (mtu-fragheaderlen) to check for the maximum length because we ensure not to generate a fragment and non-fragmented data does not need to have its length aligned on 64 bit boundaries. Also the passed in ip_options are already aligned correctly. Maybe, we can relax some other checks around ip_fragment. This needs more research.

commit 6ff50cd55545 ("tcp: gso: do not generate out of order packets") had an heuristic that can trigger a warning in skb_try_coalesce(), because skb->truesize of the gso segments were exactly set to mss. This breaks the requirement that skb->truesize >= skb->len + truesizeof(struct sk_buff); It can trivially be reproduced by : ifconfig lo mtu 1500 ethtool -K lo tso off netperf As the skbs are looped into the TCP networking stack, skb_try_coalesce() warns us of these skb under-estimating their truesize.

2013-10-28xfrm: Increase the garbage collector thresholdSteffen Klassert1-1/+1
With the removal of the routing cache, we lost the option to tweak the garbage collector threshold along with the maximum routing cache size. So git commit 703fb94ec ("xfrm: Fix the gc threshold value for ipv4") moved back to a static threshold. It turned out that the current threshold before we start garbage collecting is much to small for some workloads, so increase it from 1024 to 32768. This means that we start the garbage collector if we have more than 32768 dst entries in the system and refuse new allocations if we are above 65536.

Rename 'bool tunnel' to 'bool encap', and add a new boolean to express the fact that UDP should be fragmented. This fragmentation is triggered by skb->encapsulation being set.

Patch ed08495c3 "tcp: use RTT from SACK for RTO" always re-arms RTO upon obtaining a RTT sample from newly sacked data. But technically RTO should only be re-armed when the data sent before the last (re)transmission of write queue head are (s)acked. Otherwise the RTO may continue to extend during loss recovery on data sent in the future. Note that RTTs from ACK or timestamps do not have this problem, as the RTT source must be from data sent before. The new RTO re-arm policy is 1) Always re-arm RTO if SND.UNA is advanced 2) Re-arm RTO if sack RTT is available, provided the sacked data was sent before the last time write_queue_head was sent.

2013-10-21tcp: initialize passive-side sk_pacing_rate after 3WHSNeal Cardwell1-0/+2
For passive TCP connections, upon receiving the ACK that completes the 3WHS, make sure we set our pacing rate after we get our first RTT sample. On passive TCP connections, when we receive the ACK completing the 3WHS we do not take an RTT sample in tcp_ack(), but rather in tcp_synack_rtt_meas(). So upon receiving the ACK that completes the 3WHS, tcp_ack() leaves sk_pacing_rate at its initial value. Originally the initial sk_pacing_rate value was 0, so passive-side connections defaulted to sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs (2 segs) in skbuffs made in the first RTT. With a default initial cwnd of 10 packets, this happened to be correct for RTTs 5ms or bigger, so it was hard to see problems in WAN or emulated WAN testing. Since 7eec4174ff ("pkt_sched: fq: fix non TCP flows pacing"), the initial sk_pacing_rate is 0xffffffff. So after that change, passive TCP connections were keeping this value (and using large numbers of segments per skbuff) until receiving an ACK for data.
