2008-03-23[IPV4] fib_trie: fix warning from rcu_assign_poingerStephen Hemminger
This gets rid of a warning caused by the test in rcu_assign_pointer. I tried to fix rcu_assign_pointer, but that devolved into a long set of discussions about doing it right that came to no real solution. Since the test in rcu_assign_pointer for constant NULL would never succeed in fib_trie, just open code instead. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2008-03-22[TCP]: Let skbs grow over a page on fast peersHerbert Xu
While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU. The packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller than a page. Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be sent and if it's larger than the MSS. Since each extension is bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can always be sent immediately. The fix is also quite obvious. The push calls inside the loop is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the sending at the end of the loop. Therefore there is no specific reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries. For TSO, the most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal. This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436 MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than 16436. I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections, but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that those cases don't regress.

2008-03-20[TCP]: Fix shrinking windows with window scalingPatrick McHardy
When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt. This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down. The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7): - Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...> - New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes below the last end: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...> The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window: 3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832 65832 / 2^7 = 514 65832 % 2^7 = 40 If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq() will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number. This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack. If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of ACKs until the connection times out. Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to the window scaling factor. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-03-20audit: netlink socket can be auto-bound to pid other than current->pid (v2)Pavel Emelyanov
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> This patch is based on the one from Thomas. The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9) uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one. That's the preamble. The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be) in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy and its socket will be bound to another id. The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys, that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg. The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only. Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid as well. A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in the audit_filter_syscall.

2008-03-20[SCTP]: Fix a race between module load and protosw accessVlad Yasevich
There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions. In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw. Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized. The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list. The solution is to refactor how we do registration and initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw. Care must be taken since the address list initialization depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization. Also the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.

The last change in the Tx queue stop mechanism opens a window where the Tx queue might be stopped after pending credits returned. Tx credits are returned via a control message generated by the HW. It returns tx credits on demand, triggered by a completion bit set in selective transmit packet headers. The current code can lead to the Tx queue stopped with all pending credits returned, and the current frame not triggering a credit return. The Tx queue will then never be awaken. The driver could alternatively request a completion for packets that stop the queue. It's however safer at this point to go back to the pre-existing behaviour.

Problem Description and Fix --------------------------- When a pause packet(with destination as reserved Multicast address) is received by the EMAC hardware to control the flow of frames being transmitted by it, it is dropped by the hardware unless the reserved Multicast address is hashed in to the GAHT[1-4] registers. This code fix adds the default reserved multicast address to the GAHT[1-4] registers in the EMAC(s) present on the chip. The flow control with Pause packets will only work if the following register bits are programmed in EMAC: EMACx_MR1[APP] = 1 EMACx_RMR[BAE] = 1 EMACx_RMR[MAE] = 1 Behavior that may be observed in a running system ------------------------------------------------- A host transferring data from a PPC based system may send a Pause packet to the PPC EMAC requesting it to slow down the flow of packets. If the default reserved multicast MAC address is not programmed into the GAHT[1-4] registers this Pause packet will be dropped by PPC EMAC and no Flow Control will be done. Signed-off-by: Pravin M.

2008-03-17virtio: fix race in enable_cbChristian Borntraeger
There is a race in virtio_net, dealing with disabling/enabling the callback. I saw the following oops: kernel BUG at /space/kvm/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:218! illegal operation: 0001 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: sunrpc dm_mod CPU: 2 Not tainted 2.6.25-rc1zlive-host-10623-gd358142-dirty #99 Process swapper (pid: 0, task: 000000000f85a610, ksp: 000000000f873c60) Krnl PSW : 0404300180000000 00000000002b81a6 (vring_disable_cb+0x16/0x20) R:0 T:1 IO:0 EX:0 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:3 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 0000000010005800 0000000000000001 000000000f3a0900 000000000f85a610 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000000f870000 0000000000000000 0000000000001237 000000000f3a0920 000000000010ff74 00000000002846f6 000000000fa0bcd8 Krnl Code: 00000000002b819a: a7110001 tmll %r1,1 00000000002b819e: a7840004 brc 8,2b81a6 00000000002b81a2: a7f40001 brc 15,2b81a4 >00000000002b81a6: a51b0001 oill %r1,1 00000000002b81aa: 40102000 sth %r1,0(%r2) 00000000002b81ae: 07fe bcr 15,%r14 00000000002b81b0: eb7ff0380024 stmg %r7,%r15,56(%r15) 00000000002b81b6: a7f13e00 tmll %r15,15872 Call Trace: ([<000000000fa0bcd0>] 0xfa0bcd0) [<00000000002b8350>] vring_interrupt+0x5c/0x6c [<000000000010ab08>] do_extint+0xb8/0xf0 [<0000000000110716>] ext_no_vtime+0x16/0x1a [<0000000000107e72>] cpu_idle+0x1c2/0x1e0 The problem can be triggered with a high amount of host->guest traffic. I think its the following race: poll says netif_rx_complete poll calls enable_cb enable_cb opens the interrupt mask a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\ enable_cb sees that there is more work | enable_cb disables the interrupt | . V . interrupt is delivered . skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok some waiting disable_cb is called->check fails->bang! . poll would do napi check poll would do disable_cb The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.
