net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc

2010-12-16T22:26:56Z

Special care is taken inside sk_port_alloc to avoid overwriting skc_node/skc_nulls_node. We should also avoid overwriting skc_bind_node/skc_portaddr_node. The patch fixes the following crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0 IP: [] udp4_lib_lookup2+0xad/0x370 [] __udp4_lib_lookup+0x282/0x360 [] __udp4_lib_rcv+0x31e/0x700 [] ? ip_local_deliver_finish+0x65/0x190 [] ? ip_local_deliver+0x88/0xa0 [] udp_rcv+0x15/0x20 [] ip_local_deliver_finish+0x65/0x190 [] ip_local_deliver+0x88/0xa0 [] ip_rcv_finish+0x32d/0x6f0 [] ? netif_receive_skb+0x99c/0x11c0 [] ip_rcv+0x2bb/0x350 [] netif_receive_skb+0x99c/0x11c0 Signed-off-by: Leonard Crestez Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

net: avoid limits overflow

2010-11-10T20:12:00Z

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB machine and found some limits were reached : sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2] We can switch infrastructure to use long "instead" of "int", now atomic_long_t primitives are available for free.

udp: add rehash on connect()

2010-09-09T04:45:01Z

commit 30fff923 introduced in linux-2.6.33 (udp: bind() optimisation) added a secondary hash on UDP, hashed on (local addr, local port). Problem is that following sequence : fd = socket(...) connect(fd, &remote, ...) not only selects remote end point (address and port), but also sets local address, while UDP stack stored in secondary hash table the socket while its local address was INADDR_ANY (or ipv6 equivalent) Sequence is : - autobind() : choose a random local port, insert socket in hash tables [while local address is INADDR_ANY] - connect() : set remote address and port, change local address to IP given by a route lookup. When an incoming UDP frame comes, if more than 10 sockets are found in primary hash table, we switch to secondary table, and fail to find socket because its local address changed. One solution to this problem is to rehash datagram socket if needed. We add a new rehash(struct socket *) method in "struct proto", and implement this method for UDP v4 & v6, using a common helper. This rehashing only takes care of secondary hash table, since primary hash (based on local port only) is not changed.

net: simplify flags for tx timestamping

2010-08-19T07:08:30Z

This patch removes the abstraction introduced by the union skb_shared_tx in the shared skb data. The access of the different union elements at several places led to some confusion about accessing the shared tx_flags e.g. in skb_orphan_try(). http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=128084897415886&w=2 Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp Signed-off-by: David S.

net: sock_queue_err_skb() dont mess with sk_forward_alloc

2010-06-01T06:44:05Z

Correct sk_forward_alloc handling for error_queue would need to use a backlog of frames that softirq handler could not deliver because socket is owned by user thread. Or extend backlog processing to be able to process normal and error packets. Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is what I implemented in this patch. Note: this reverts commit 29030374 (net: fix sk_forward_alloc corruptions), since we dont need to lock socket anymore. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: fix sk_forward_alloc corruptions

2010-05-29T07:20:48Z

As David found out, sock_queue_err_skb() should be called with socket lock hold, or we risk sk_forward_alloc corruption, since we use non atomic operations to update this field. This patch adds bh_lock_sock()/bh_unlock_sock() pair to three spots. (BH already disabled) 1) skb_tstamp_tx() 2) Before calling ip_icmp_error(), in __udp4_lib_err() 3) Before calling ipv6_icmp_error(), in __udp6_lib_err() Reported-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
