inet: add RCU protection to inet->opt

2013-06-10T09:43:31Z

commit f6d8bd051c391c1c0458a30b2a7abcd939329259 upstream. We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options), without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt. Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us. Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt). Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying. We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new ip_options_rcu structure.

net: skb->dst accessors

2009-06-03T09:51:04Z

Define three accessors to get/set dst attached to a skb struct dst_entry *skb_dst(const struct sk_buff *skb) void skb_dst_set(struct sk_buff *skb, struct dst_entry *dst) void skb_dst_drop(struct sk_buff *skb) This one should replace occurrences of : dst_release(skb->dst) skb->dst = NULL; Delete skb->dst field Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

net: skb->rtable accessor

2009-06-03T09:51:02Z

Define skb_rtable(const struct sk_buff *skb) accessor to get rtable from skb Delete skb->rtable field Setting rtable is not allowed, just set dst instead as rtable is an alias. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: Fix icmp shutdown.

2009-02-23T03:54:48Z

Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Denis V. Lunev Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip: support for TX timestamps on UDP and RAW sockets

netns xfrm: lookup in netns

2008-11-26T01:35:18Z

Pass netns to xfrm_lookup()/__xfrm_lookup(). For that pass netns to flow_cache_lookup() and resolver callback. Take it from socket or netdevice. Stub DECnet to init_net. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: avoid a pair of dst_hold()/dst_release() in ip_append_data()

2008-11-24T23:52:46Z

We can reduce pressure on dst entry refcount that slowdown UDP transmit path on SMP machines. This pressure is visible on RTP servers when delivering content to mediagateways, especially big ones, handling thousand of streams. Several cpus send UDP frames to the same destination, hence use the same dst entry. This patch makes ip_append_data() eventually steal the refcount its callers had to take on the dst entry. This doesnt avoid all refcounting, but still gives speedups on SMP, on UDP/RAW transmit path Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
