2007-10-10[NETLINK]: Introduce nested and byteorder flag to netlink attributeThomas Graf2-2/+2
This change allows the generic attribute interface to be used within the netfilter subsystem where this flag was initially introduced. The byte-order flag is yet unused, it's intended use is to allow automatic byte order convertions for all atomic types. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman15-34/+34
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlinkEric W. Biederman4-8/+9
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safeEric W. Biederman6-1/+21
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[NET]: Make packet reception network namespace safeEric W. Biederman3-0/+12
This patch modifies every packet receive function registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they are not from the initial network namespace. This should ensure that the various network stacks do not receive packets in a anything but the initial network namespace until the code has been converted and is ready for them.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.Eric W. Biederman1-2/+5
This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace. Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe. Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the exotic protocols are supported. Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman20-58/+77
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

2007-10-10[IPV4] IPSEC: Omit redirect for tunnelled packet.Masahide NAKAMURA1-1/+1
IPv4 IPsec tunnel gateway incorrectly sends redirect to sender if it is onlink host when network device the IPsec tunnelled packet is arrived is the same as the one the decapsulated packet is sent. With this patch, it omits to send the redirect when the forwarding skbuff carries secpath, since such skbuff should be assumed as a decapsulated packet from IPsec tunnel by own. Request for comments: Alternatively we'd have another way to change net/ipv4/route.c (__mkroute_input) to use RTCF_DOREDIRECT flag unless skbuff has no secpath. It is better than this patch at performance point of view because IPv4 redirect judgement is done at routing slow-path. However, it should be taken care of resource changes between SAD(XFRM states) and routing table. In other words, When IPv4 SAD is changed does the related routing entry go to its slow-path? If not, it is reasonable to apply this patch. Signed-off-by: Masahide NAKAMURA <nakam@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-10-10[TCP] MIB: Add counters for discarded SACK blocksIlpo Järvinen2-1/+12
In DSACK case, some events are not extraordinary, such as packet duplication generated DSACK. They can arrive easily below snd_una when undo_marker is not set (TCP being in CA_Open), counting such DSACKs amoung SACK discards will likely just mislead if they occur in some scenario when there are other problems as well. Similarly, excessively delayed packets could cause "normal" DSACKs. Therefore, separate counters are allocated for DSACK events.

SACK processing code has been a sort of russian roulette as no validation of SACK blocks is previously attempted.

2007-10-10[TCP]: Move sack_ok access to obviously named funcs & cleanupIlpo Järvinen5-42/+52
Previously code had IsReno/IsFack defined as macros that were local to tcp_input.c though sack_ok field has user elsewhere too for the same purpose. This changes them to static inlines as preferred according the current coding style and unifies the access to sack_ok across multiple files. Magic bitops of sack_ok for FACK and DSACK are also abstracted to functions with appropriate names. Note: - One sack_ok = 1 remains but that's self explanary, i.e., it enables sack - Couple of !IsReno cases are changed to tcp_is_sack - There were no users for IsDSack => I dropped it Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queueIlpo Järvinen1-8/+7
Previously TCP had a transitional state during which reno counted segments that are already below the current window into sacked_out, which is now prevented. In addition, re-try now the unconditional S+L skb catching. This approach conservatively calls just remove_sack and leaves reset_sack() calls alone. The best solution to the whole problem would be to first calculate the new sacked_out fully (this patch does not move reno_sack_reset calls from original sites and thus does not implement this). However, that would require very invasive change to fastretrans_alert (perhaps even slicing it to two halves). Alternatively, all callers of tcp_packets_in_flight (i.e., users that depend on sacked_out) should be postponed until the new sacked_out has been calculated but it isn't any simpler alternative.

This happens rather infrequently and is only possible during FRTO.

Left_out was dropped a while ago, thus leaving verifying consistency of the "left out" as only task for the function in question. Thus make it's name more appropriate. In addition, it is intentionally converted to #define instead of static inline because the location of the invariant failure is the most important thing to have if this ever triggers. I think it would have been helpful e.g. in this case where the location of the failure point had to be based on some quesswork: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/2/464 ...Luckily the guesswork seems to have proved to be correct.

2007-10-07[TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKedIlpo Järvinen1-0/+3
When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset, therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue eventually anyway. In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed, the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore), thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

2007-09-28[TCP]: Fix MD5 signature handling on big-endian.David S. Miller1-10/+9
Based upon a report and initial patch by Peter Lieven. tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup(). Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key uses. This just so happens to work by accident on little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't. Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and kill off the ugly casts. Signed-off-by: David S.

I've found that the sequence of events goes like this: 1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko 2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket, increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count 3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine, which calls nf_unregister_sockopt 4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel 4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load ip_tables_nat.ko 5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and blocks until modprobe exits. 6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one. 7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in step 3) Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've developed a two part solution that corrects the problem Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt calls a modules set/get routine. This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4 from happening. Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity request blocking operation. So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since root can do any old stupid thing it would like.... :) ).

2007-09-11[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_ipv4: fix "Frag of proto ..." messagesPatrick McHardy1-7/+3
Since we're now using a generic tuple decoding function in ICMP connection tracking, ipv4_get_l4proto() might get called with a fragmented packet from within an ICMP error. Remove the error message we used to print when this happens. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-09-11[IPV4] devinet: show all addresses assigned to interfaceStephen Hemminger1-1/+1
Bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8876 Not all ips are shown by "ip addr show" command when IPs number assigned to an interface is more than 60-80 (in fact it depends on broadcast/label etc presence on each address). Steps to reproduce: It's terribly simple to reproduce: # for i in $(seq 1 100); do ip ad add 10.0.$i.1/24 dev eth10 ; done # ip addr show this will _not_ show all IPs. Looks like the problem is in netlink/ipv4 message processing. This is fix from bug submitter, it looks correct.

2007-08-26[IPSEC] AH4: Update IPv4 options handling to conform to RFC 4302.Nick Bowler1-1/+1
In testing our ESP/AH offload hardware, I discovered an issue with how AH handles mutable fields in IPv4. RFC 4302 (AH) states the following on the subject: For IPv4, the entire option is viewed as a unit; so even though the type and length fields within most options are immutable in transit, if an option is classified as mutable, the entire option is zeroed for ICV computation purposes. The current implementation does not zero the type and length fields, resulting in authentication failures when communicating with hosts that do (i.e. FreeBSD). I have tested record route and timestamp options (ping -R and ping -T) on a small network involving Windows XP, FreeBSD 6.2, and Linux hosts, with one router. In the presence of these options, the FreeBSD and Linux hosts (with the patch or with the hardware) can communicate. The Windows XP host simply fails to accept these packets with or without the patch. I have also been trying to test source routing options (using traceroute -g), but haven't had much luck getting this option to work *without* AH, let alone with.

2007-08-13[IPVS]: Use IP_VS_WAIT_WHILE when encessary.Heiko Carstens1-1/+1
For architectures that don't have a volatile atomic_ts constructs like while (atomic_read(&something)); might result in endless loops since a barrier() is missing which forces the compiler to generate code that actually reads memory contents. Fix this in ipvs by using the IP_VS_WAIT_WHILE macro which resolves to while (expr) { cpu_relax(); } (why isn't this open coded btw?)
