If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3
(or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall
through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any
other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet.
Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported
AX.25 dialects.
The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather
unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

This patch fixes a problem in the ieee80211 probe response and beacon
reception code that would use the packet statistics for a network even
if they were received on a channel other than that which the network
exists on.
This causes a problem in overlapping channels where, for example, a
strong AP on channel 2 could have its beacons received on channels 1 and
3, but at much lower signal levels. If scanning was done sequentially,
this means the beacon received on channel 3 would update the AP's signal
level as being much lower than it really is, which subsequently could
cause that AP to be passed over and an alternate AP selected.

I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant
performance difference on kernbench. Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc.
The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched
freeing. For scalability reasons, file accounting was
constructor/destructor based. This meant that nr_files was decremented
only when the object was removed from the slab cache. This is susceptible
to slab fragmentation. With RCU based file structure, consequent batched
freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up
with a very fragmented slab -
llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
587730 0 758844
At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache. The following
patch I fixes this problem.
This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock.
Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all
accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api. In the sysctl handler for
nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user.
Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to
inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU.

I have come to consider BUG_ON generally harmful. The idea of an assert is
to prevent a program to execute past a point where its state is known
erroneous, thus preventing it from dealing more damage to the data
(or hiding the traces of malfunction). The problem is, in kernel this harm
has to be balanced against the harm of forced reboot.
The last straw was our softmac tree, where "iwlist eth1 scan" causes
a lockup. It is absolutely frivolus and provides no advantages a normal
assert has to provide. In fact, doing this impedes debugging.

The only reason post_input exists at all is that it gives us the
potential to adjust the checksums incrementally in future which
we ought to do.
However, after thinking about it for a bit we can adjust the
checksums without using this post_input stuff at all. The crucial
point is that only the inner-most NAT-T SA needs to be considered
when adjusting checksums. What's more, the checksum adjustment
comes down to a single u32 due to the linearity of IP checksums.
We just happen to have a spare u32 lying around in our skb structure :)
When ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE on input, the value of skb->csum
is currently unused. All we have to do is to make that the checksum
adjustment and voila, there goes all the post_input and decap structures!
I've left in the decap data structures for now since it's intricately
woven into the sec_path stuff. We can kill them later too.

When you turn off ARP on a netdevice then the first packet always goes
out with a dstMAC of all zeroes. This is because the first packet is
used to resolve ARP entries. Even though the ARP entry may be resolved
(I tried by setting a static ARP entry for a host i was pinging from),
it gets overwritten by virtue of having the netdevice disabling ARP.
Subsequent packets go out fine with correct dstMAC address (which may
be why people have ignored reporting this issue).
To cut the story short:
the culprit code is in net/ethernet/eth.c::eth_header()
----
/*
* Anyway, the loopback-device should never use this
function...
*/
if (dev->flags & (IFF_LOOPBACK|IFF_NOARP))
{
memset(eth->h_dest, 0, dev->addr_len);
return ETH_HLEN;
}
if(daddr)
{
memcpy(eth->h_dest,daddr,dev->addr_len);
return ETH_HLEN;
}
----
Note how the h_dest is being reset when device has IFF_NOARP.
As a note:
All devices including loopback pass a daddr. loopback in fact passes
a 0 all the time ;->
This means i can delete the check totaly or i can remove the IFF_NOARP
Alexey says:
--------------------
I think, it was me who did this crap. It was so long ago I do not remember
why it was made.
I remember some troubles with dummy device. It tried to resolve
addresses, apparently, without success and generated errors instead of
blackholing. I think the problem was eventually solved at neighbour
level.
After some thinking I suspect the deletion of this chunk could change
behaviour of some parts which do not use neighbour cache f.e. packet
socket.
I think safer approach would be to move this chunk after if (daddr).
And the possibility to remove this completely could be analyzed later.

To find out if a packet needs to be handled by IPsec after SNAT, packets
are currently rerouted in POST_ROUTING and a new xfrm lookup is done. This
breaks SNAT of non-unicast packets to non-local addresses because the
packet is routed as incoming packet and no neighbour entry is bound to the
dst_entry. In general, it seems to be a bad idea to replace the dst_entry
after the packet was already sent to the output routine because its state
might not match what's expected.
This patch changes the xfrm lookup in POST_ROUTING to re-use the original
dst_entry without routing the packet again. This means no policy routing
can be used for transport mode transforms (which keep the original route)
when packets are SNATed to match the policy, but it looks like the best
we can do for now.

Problem discovered and initial patch by Olaf Kirch:
there's a problem with IPsec that has been bugging some of our users
for the last couple of kernel revs. Every now and then, IPsec will
freeze the machine completely. This is with openswan user land,
and with kernels up to and including 2.6.16-rc2.
I managed to debug this a little, and what happens is that we end
up looping in xfrm_lookup, and never get out. With a bit of debug
printks added, I can this happening:
ip_route_output_flow calls xfrm_lookup
xfrm_find_bundle returns NULL (apparently we're in the
middle of negotiating a new SA or something)
We therefore call xfrm_tmpl_resolve. This returns EAGAIN
We go to sleep, waiting for a policy update.
Then we loop back to the top
Apparently, the dst_orig that was passed into xfrm_lookup
has been dropped from the routing table (obsolete=2)
This leads to the endless loop, because we now create
a new bundle, check the new bundle and find it's stale
(stale_bundle -> xfrm_bundle_ok -> dst_check() return 0)
People have been testing with the patch below, which seems to fix the
problem partially. They still see connection hangs however (things
only clear up when they start a new ping or new ssh). So the patch
is obvsiouly not sufficient, and something else seems to go wrong.
I'm grateful for any hints you may have...
I suggest that we simply bail out always. If the dst decides to die
on us later on, the packet will be dropped anyway. So there is no
great urgency to retry here. Once we have the proper resolution
queueing, we can then do the retry again.

RFCOMM implementations. To make this more flexible the L2CAP MTU
becomes also a module parameter and so it can changed at runtime.

netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink.
Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket,
so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be,
and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock
of rtnetlink.
Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional
argument to netlink_attachskb().
A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed
to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even
have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases:
1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot
wait for buffer space.
2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered
to some recipients.

If you set network interface down and up again, the IPv6 address

During NETDEV_DOWN we clear IF_READY, and we don't set it back in
NETDEV_UP. While starting to perform DAD on the link-local address, we
notice that the device is not in IF_READY, and we abort autoconfiguration
process (which would eventually send router solicitations).

netfilter's do_replace() can overflow on addition within SMP_ALIGN()
and/or on multiplication by NR_CPUS, resulting in a buffer overflow on
the copy_from_user(). In practice, the overflow on addition is
triggerable on all systems, whereas the multiplication one might require
much physical memory to be present due to the check above. Either is
sufficient to overwrite arbitrary amounts of kernel memory.
I really hate adding the same check to all 4 versions of do_replace(),

OK this is definitely broken. We should never touch the dst lock in
softirq context. Since inet6_destroy_sock may be called from that
context due to the asynchronous nature of sockets, we can't take the
lock there.
In fact this sk_dst_reset is totally redundant since all IPv6 sockets
use inet_sock_destruct as their socket destructor which always cleans
up the dst anyway. So the solution is to simply remove the call.

Currently the logic in ipv6_ifa_notify is to hold an extra reference
count for addrconf dst's that get added to the routing table. Thus,
when addrconf dst entries are taken out of the routing table, we need
to drop that dst. However, addrconf dst entries may be removed from
the routing table by means other than __ipv6_ifa_notify.
So we're faced with the choice of either fixing up all places where
addrconf dst entries are removed, or dropping the extra reference count
altogether.
I chose the latter because the ifp itself always holds a dst reference
count of 1 while it's alive. This is dropped just before we kfree the
ifp object. Therefore we know that in __ipv6_ifa_notify we will always
hold that count.

This patch fix dst reference counting in tcp_v6_send_synack
Analysis:
Currently tcp_v6_send_synack is never called with a dst entry
so dst always comes in as NULL.
ip6_dst_lookup calls ip6_route_output which calls dst_hold
before it returns the dst entry. Neither xfrm_lookup
nor tcp_make_synack consume the dst entry so we still have
a dst_entry with a bumped refrence count at the end of
this function.
Therefore we need to call dst_release just before we return
just like tcp_v4_send_synack does.

use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP
This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.
It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

sctp_unpack_cookie used an on-stack array called digest as a result/out
parameter in the call to crypto_hmac. However, hmac code
(crypto_hmac_final)
assumes that the 'out' argument is in virtual memory (identity mapped
region)
and can use virt_to_page call on it. This does not work with the on-stack
declared digest. The problems observed so far have been:
a) incorrect hmac digest
b) machine check and hardware reset.
Solution is to define the digest in an identity mapped region by
kmalloc'ing
it. We can do this once as part of the endpoint structure and re-use it
when
verifying the SCTP cookie.

When creating a very large number of associations (and endpoints),
/proc/assocs and /proc/eps will not show all of them. As a result
netstat will not show all of the either. This is particularly evident
when creating 1000+ associations (or endpoints). As an example with
1500 tcp style associations over loopback, netstat showed 1420 on my
system instead of 3000.
The reason for this is that the seq_operations start method is invoked
multiple times bacause of the amount of data that is provided. The
start method always increments the position parameter and since we use
the position as the hash bucket id, we end up skipping hash buckets.
This patch corrects this situation and get's rid of the silly hash-1

Using __get_cpu_var(obj) is slightly faster than per_cpu_ptr(obj,
raw_smp_processor_id()).
1) Smaller code and memory use
For static and small objects, DEFINE_PER_CPU(type, object) is preferred over a
alloc_percpu() : Better and smaller code to access them, and no extra memory
(storing the pointer, and the percpu array of pointers)
x86_64 code before patch
mov 1237577(%rip),%rax # ffffffff803e5990 <rt_cache_stat>
not %rax # part of per_cpu machinery
mov %gs:0x3c,%edx # get cpu number
movslq %edx,%rdx # extend 32 bits cpu number to 64 bits
mov (%rax,%rdx,8),%rax # get the pointer for this cpu
incl 0x38(%rax)
x86_64 code after patch
mov $per_cpu__rt_cache_stat,%rdx
mov %gs:0x48,%rax # get percpu data offset
incl 0x38(%rax,%rdx,1)
2) False sharing avoidance for SMP :
For a small NR_CPUS, the array of per cpu pointers allocated in alloc_percpu()
can be <= 32 bytes. This let slab code gives a part of a cache line. If the
other part of this 64 bytes (or 128 bytes) cache line is used by a mostly
written object, we can have false sharing and expensive per_cpu_ptr() operations.
Size of rt_cache_stat is 64 bytes, so this patch is not a danger of a too big
increase of bss (in UP mode) or static per_cpu data for SMP
(PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM is currently 32768 bytes)

are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases

The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.
This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.
When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.
For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).
Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.
The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.
I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.
Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.
Description:
tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It
does now also return the number of chars inserted
There are also
tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)
which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.
and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)
to insert a string of characters and flags
For a smart interface the usual code is
len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);
More description!
At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)
I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.
So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all
break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.
At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say
int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)
Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.
int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)
As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.
int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)
Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted.
int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)
Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.
