ipv4: correct IGMP behavior on v3 query during v2-compatibility mode

2010-10-04T04:58:47Z

A recent patch to allow IGMPv2 responses to IGMPv3 queries bypasses length checks for valid query lengths, incorrectly resets the v2_seen timer, and does not support IGMPv1. The following patch responds with a v2 report as required by IGMPv2 while correcting the other problems introduced by the patch. Signed-Off-By: David L Stevens Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: force_igmp_version ignored when a IGMPv3 query received

2010-09-13T19:56:51Z

After all these years, it turns out that the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/force_igmp_version parameter isn't fully implemented. *Symptom*: When set force_igmp_version to a value of 2, the kernel should only perform multicast IGMPv2 operations (IETF rfc2236). An host-initiated Join message will be sent as a IGMPv2 Join message. But if a IGMPv3 query message is received, the host responds with a IGMPv3 join message. Per rfc3376 and rfc2236, a IGMPv2 host should treat a IGMPv3 query as a IGMPv2 query and respond with an IGMPv2 Join message. *Consequences*: This is an issue when a IGMPv3 capable switch is the querier and will only issue IGMPv3 queries (which double as IGMPv2 querys) and there's an intermediate switch that is only IGMPv2 capable. The intermediate switch processes the initial v2 Join, but fails to recognize the IGMPv3 Join responses to the Query, resulting in a dropped connection when the intermediate v2-only switch times it out. *Identifying issue in the kernel source*: The issue is in this section of code (in net/ipv4/igmp.c), which is called when an IGMP query is received (from mainline 2.6.36-rc3 gitweb): ... A IGMPv3 query has a length >= 12 and no sources. This routine will exit after line 880, setting the general query timer (random timeout between 0 and query response time). This calls igmp_gq_timer_expire(): ... .. which only sends a v3 response. So if a v3 query is received, the kernel always sends a v3 response. IGMP queries happen once every 60 sec (per vlan), so the traffic is low. A IGMPv3 query *is* a strict superset of a IGMPv2 query, so this patch properly short circuit's the v3 behaviour. One issue is that this does not address force_igmp_version=1. Then again, I've never seen any IGMPv1 multicast equipment in the wild. However there is a lot of v2-only equipment. If it's necessary to support the IGMPv1 case as well: 837 if (len == 8 || IGMP_V2_SEEN(in_dev) || IGMP_V1_SEEN(in_dev)) { Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

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.
