tcp-repair: Handle zero-length data put in rcv queue

2012-11-17T21:18:53Z

[ Upstream commit c454e6111d1ef4268fe98e87087216e51c2718c3 ] When sending data into a tcp socket in repair state we should check for the amount of data being 0 explicitly. Otherwise we'll have an skb with seq == end_seq in rcv queue, but tcp doesn't expect this to happen (in particular a warn_on in tcp_recvmsg shoots).

tcp: fix regression in urgent data handling

2012-09-18T20:26:27Z

Stephan Springl found that commit 1402d366019fed "tcp: introduce tcp_try_coalesce" introduced a regression for rlogin It turns out problem comes from TCP urgent data handling and a change in behavior in input path. rlogin sends two one-byte packets with URG ptr set, and when next data frame is coalesced, we lack sk_data_ready() calls to wakeup consumer.

tcp: fix cwnd reduction for non-sack recovery

2012-08-24T17:48:58Z

The cwnd reduction in fast recovery is based on the number of packets newly delivered per ACK. For non-sack connections every DUPACK signifies a packet has been delivered, but the sender mistakenly skips counting them for cwnd reduction. The fix is to compute newly_acked_sacked after DUPACKs are accounted in sacked_out for non-sack connections.

netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock

2012-08-01T01:42:47Z

This patch series is based on top of "Swap-over-NBD without deadlocking v15" as it depends on the same reservation of PF_MEMALLOC reserves logic. When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it with swapon. In diskless systems this is not an option so if swap if required then swapping over the network is considered. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients. The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block Device (NBD) for swap but this is not always an option. There is no guarantee that the network attached storage (NAS) device is running Linux or supports NBD. However, it is likely that it supports NFS so there are users that want support for swapping over NFS despite any performance concern. Some distributions currently carry patches that support swapping over NFS but it would be preferable to support it in the mainline kernel. Patch 1 avoids a stream-specific deadlock that potentially affects TCP. Patch 2 is a small modification to SELinux to avoid using PFMEMALLOC reserves. Patch 3 adds three helpers for filesystems to handle swap cache pages. For example, page_file_mapping() returns page->mapping for file-backed pages and the address_space of the underlying swap file for swap cache pages. Patch 4 adds two address_space_operations to allow a filesystem to pin all metadata relevant to a swapfile in memory. Upon successful activation, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and the address space operation ->direct_IO is used for writing and ->readpage for reading in swap pages. Patch 5 notes that patch 3 is bolting filesystem-specific-swapfile-support onto the side and that the default handlers have different information to what is available to the filesystem. This patch refactors the code so that there are generic handlers for each of the new address_space operations. Patch 6 adds an API to allow a vector of kernel addresses to be translated to struct pages and pinned for IO. Patch 7 adds support for using highmem pages for swap by kmapping the pages before calling the direct_IO handler. Patch 8 updates NFS to use the helpers from patch 3 where necessary. Patch 9 avoids setting PF_private on PG_swapcache pages within NFS. Patch 10 implements the new swapfile-related address_space operations for NFS and teaches the direct IO handler how to manage kernel addresses. Patch 11 prevents page allocator recursions in NFS by using GFP_NOIO where appropriate. Patch 12 fixes a NULL pointer dereference that occurs when using swap-over-NFS. With the patches applied, it is possible to mount a swapfile that is on an NFS filesystem. Swap performance is not great with a swap stress test taking roughly twice as long to complete than if the swap device was backed by NBD. This patch: netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock It could happen that all !SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets have buffered so much data that we're over the global rmem limit. This will prevent SOCK_MEMALLOC buffers from receiving data, which will prevent userspace from running, which is needed to reduce the buffered data. Fix this by exempting the SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets from the rmem limit. Once this change it applied, it is important that sockets that set SOCK_MEMALLOC do not clear the flag until the socket is being torn down. If this happens, a warning is generated and the tokens reclaimed to avoid accounting errors until the bug is fixed.

net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts

2012-07-30T21:53:22Z

commit c6cffba4ffa2 (ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.) added various fatal races with dst refcounts. crashes happen on tcp workloads if routes are added/deleted at the same time. The dst_free() calls from free_fib_info_rcu() are clearly racy. We need instead regular dst refcounting (dst_release()) and make sure dst_release() is aware of RCU grace periods : Add DST_RCU_FREE flag so that dst_release() respects an RCU grace period before dst destruction for cached dst Introduce a new inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper, using atomic_inc_not_zero() to make sure we dont increase a zero refcount (On a dst currently waiting an rcu grace period before destruction) rt_cache_route() must take a reference on the new cached route, and release it if was not able to install it. With this patch, my machines survive various benchmarks. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: perform DMA to userspace only if there is a task waiting for it

2012-07-27T20:45:51Z

Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a87b ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT") added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available. The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace task is actually expecting the data in the buffer. This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to recvmsg() is used. If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but misses the check in the dmaengine case. This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine. This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.

ipv4: Prepare for change of rt->rt_iif encoding.

2012-07-23T23:36:26Z

Use inet_iif() consistently, and for TCP record the input interface of cached RX dst in inet sock. rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively. When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will be set to zero. This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4 specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6 input paths yet. Also, remove the unlikely on dst->obsolete, all ipv4 dsts have obsolete set to a non-zero value to force invocation of the check callback. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
