2009-10-29net: Fix 'Re: PACKET_TX_RING: packet size is too long'Gabor Gombas
Currently PACKET_TX_RING forces certain amount of every frame to remain unused. This probably originates from an early version of the PACKET_TX_RING patch that in fact used the extra space when the (since removed) CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP_ZERO_COPY option was enabled. The current code does not make any use of this extra space. This patch removes the extra space reservation and lets userspace make use of the full frame size.

2009-10-29AF_RAW: Augment raw_send_hdrinc to expand skb to fit iphdr->ihl (v2)Neil Horman
Augment raw_send_hdrinc to correct for incorrect ip header length values A series of oopses was reported to me recently. Apparently when using AF_RAW sockets to send data to peers that were reachable via ipsec encapsulation, people could panic or BUG halt their systems. I've tracked the problem down to user space sending an invalid ip header over an AF_RAW socket with IP_HDRINCL set to 1. Basically what happens is that userspace sends down an ip frame that includes only the header (no data), but sets the ip header ihl value to a large number, one that is larger than the total amount of data passed to the sendmsg call. In raw_send_hdrincl, we allocate an skb based on the size of the data in the msghdr that was passed in, but assume the data is all valid. Later during ipsec encapsulation, xfrm4_tranport_output moves the entire frame back in the skbuff to provide headroom for the ipsec headers. During this operation, the skb->transport_header is repointed to a spot computed by skb->network_header + the ip header length (ihl). Since so little data was passed in relative to the value of ihl provided by the raw socket, we point transport header to an unknown location, resulting in various crashes. This fix for this is pretty straightforward, simply validate the value of of iph->ihl when sending over a raw socket. If (iph->ihl*4U) > user data buffer size, drop the frame and return -EINVAL. I just confirmed this fixes the reported crashes. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-27mac80211: fix for incorrect sequence number on hostapd injected framesBjörn Smedman
When hostapd injects a frame, e.g. an authentication or association response, mac80211 looks for a suitable access point virtual interface to associate the frame with based on its source address. This makes it possible e.g. to correctly assign sequence numbers to the frames. A small typo in the ethernet address comparison statement caused a failure to find a suitable ap interface. Sequence numbers on such frames where therefore left unassigned causing some clients (especially windows-based 11b/g clients) to reject them and fail to authenticate or associate with the access point. This patch fixes the typo in the address comparison statement.

2009-10-27mac80211: fix ibss joiningReinette Chatre
Recent commit "mac80211: fix logic error ibss merge bssid check" fixed joining of ibss cell when static bssid is provided. In this case ifibss->bssid is set before the cell is joined and comparing that address to a bss should thus always succeed. Unfortunately this change broke the other case of joining a ibss cell without providing a static bssid where the value of ifibss->bssid is not set before the cell is joined. Since ifibss->bssid may be set before or after joining the cell we do not learn anything by comparing it to a known bss. Remove this check.

2009-10-22virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.hChristian Borntraeger
Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

2009-10-19tcp: accept socket after TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT periodJulian Anastasov
Willy Tarreau and many other folks in recent years were concerned what happens when the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period expires for clients which sent ACK packet. They prefer clients that actively resend ACK on our SYN-ACK retransmissions to be converted from open requests to sockets and queued to the listener for accepting after the deferring period is finished. Then application server can decide to wait longer for data or to properly terminate the connection with FIN if read() returns EAGAIN which is an indication for accepting after the deferring period. This change still can have side effects for applications that expect always to see data on the accepted socket. Others can be prepared to work in both modes (with or without TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period) and their data processing can ignore the read=EAGAIN notification and to allocate resources for clients which proved to have no data to send during the deferring period. OTOH, servers that use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT=1 as flag (not as a timeout) to wait for data will notice clients that didn't send data for 3 seconds but that still resend ACKs.

2009-10-18AF_UNIX: Fix deadlock on connecting to shutdown socketTomoki Sekiyama
I found a deadlock bug in UNIX domain socket, which makes able to DoS attack against the local machine by non-root users. How to reproduce: 1. Make a listening AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM socket with an abstruct namespace(*), and shutdown(2) it. 2. Repeat connect(2)ing to the listening socket from the other sockets until the connection backlog is full-filled. 3. connect(2) takes the CPU forever. If every core is taken, the system hangs. PoC code: (Run as many times as cores on SMP machines.) int main(void) { int ret; int csd; int lsd; struct sockaddr_un sun; /* make an abstruct name address (*) */ memset(&sun, 0, sizeof(sun)); sun.sun_family = PF_UNIX; sprintf(&sun.sun_path[1], "%d", getpid()); /* create the listening socket and shutdown */ lsd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); bind(lsd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun)); listen(lsd, 1); shutdown(lsd, SHUT_RDWR); /* connect loop */ alarm(15); /* forcely exit the loop after 15 sec */ for (;;) { csd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); ret = connect(csd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun)); if (-1 == ret) { perror("connect()"); break; } puts("Connection OK"); } return 0; } (*) Make sun_path[0] = 0 to use the abstruct namespace. If a file-based socket is used, the system doesn't deadlock because of context switches in the file system layer. Why this happens: Error checks between unix_socket_connect() and unix_wait_for_peer() are inconsistent. The former calls the latter to wait until the backlog is processed. Despite the latter returns without doing anything when the socket is shutdown, the former doesn't check the shutdown state and just retries calling the latter forever. Patch: The patch below adds shutdown check into unix_socket_connect(), so connect(2) to the shutdown socket will return -ECONREFUSED.

2009-10-13tcp: fix tcp_defer_accept to consider the timeoutWilly Tarreau
I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as netfilter sits between the client and the server because the firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST. This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should wait only for some time : TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4) Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives on the socket. Takes an integer value (seconds), this can bound the maximum number of attempts TCP will make to complete the connection. This option should not be used in code intended to be portable. Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly computed : case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT: icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0; if (val > 0) { /* Translate value in seconds to number of * retransmits */ while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 && val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) << icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept)) icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++; icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++; } break; ==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits. But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does. Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-12mac80211: document ieee80211_rx() context requirementJohannes Berg
ieee80211_rx() must be called with softirqs disabled since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx() and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same time. It may be possible to remove this requirement after a careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet processing to process context in mac80211, instead of to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.

2009-10-12mac80211: fix ibss raceJohannes Berg
When a scan completes, we call ieee80211_sta_find_ibss(), which is also called from other places. When the scan was done in software, there's no problem as both run from the single-threaded mac80211 workqueue and are thus serialised against each other, but with hardware scan the completion can be in a different context and race against callers of this function from the workqueue (e.g. due to beacon RX). So instead of calling ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() directly, just arm the timer and have it fire, scheduling the work, which will invoke ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() (if that is appropriate in the current state).

2009-10-07mac80211: fix vlan and optimise RXJohannes Berg
When receiving data frames, we can send them only to the interface they belong to based on transmitting station (this doesn't work for probe requests). Also, don't try to handle other frames for AP_VLAN at all since those interface should only receive data. Additionally, the transmit side must check that the station we're sending a frame to is actually on the interface we're transmitting on, and not transmit packets to functions that live on other interfaces, so validate that as well. Another bug fix is needed in sta_info.c where in the VLAN case when adding/removing stations we overwrite the sdata variable we still need.

It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue. When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly. I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender. This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one. Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

2009-10-02net: splice() from tcp to pipe should take into account O_NONBLOCKEric Dumazet
tcp_splice_read() doesnt take into account socket's O_NONBLOCK flag Before this patch : splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE); causes a random endless block (if pipe is full) and splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK); will return 0 immediately if the TCP buffer is empty. User application has no way to instruct splice() that socket should be in blocking mode but pipe in nonblock more. Many projects cannot use splice(tcp -> pipe) because of this flaw. http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=history;f=source3/lib/recvfile.c;h=ea0159642137390a0f7e57a123684e6e63e47581;hb=HEAD http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.2/0687.html Linus introduced SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK in commit 29e350944fdc2dfca102500790d8ad6d6ff4f69d (splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag ) It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations nonblocking. Linus intention was clear : let SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK control the splice pipe mode only This patch instruct tcp_splice_read() to use the underlying file O_NONBLOCK flag, as other socket operations do. Users will then call : splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK ); to block on data coming from socket (if file is in blocking mode), and not block on pipe output (to avoid deadlock) First version of this patch was submitted by Octavian Purdila Reported-by: Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org> Reported-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-01IPv4 TCP fails to send window scale option when window scale is zeroOri Finkelman
Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero. This fixes the following observed behavior: 1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale value to a Linux box. 2. Linux box notes large receive window from client. 3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part. 4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all. With the following result: Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had TCP window scale option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server regarding window sizes. Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice): 1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server. 2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale. 3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does not to set windows scale TCP option header on SYN. With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal performance.
