The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.
1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().
There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing

The breakage is caused by the change to use the CB area for flagging
whether a packet has been queued due to proxy_delay. This area gets
cleared every time arp_rcv gets called. Unfortunately packets delayed
due to proxy_delay also go through arp_rcv when they are reprocessed.
In fact, I can't think of a reason why delayed proxy packets should go
through netfilter again at all. So the easiest solution is to bypass
that and go straight to arp_process.
This is essentially what would've happened before netfilter support
was added to ARP.

Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other
pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo)
(The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line,
so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs)
1) First some performance data :
--------------------------------
tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established()
The most time critical code is :
sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
}
The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
"struct sock" is prefetched.
As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
lines.
This can be problematic if some chains are very long.
2) The goal
-----------
The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
using one cache line per iteration.
3) Description of the patch
---------------------------
Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.
struct sock_common {
unsigned short skc_family;
volatile unsigned char skc_state;
unsigned char skc_reuse;
int skc_bound_dev_if;
struct hlist_node skc_node;
struct hlist_node skc_bind_node;
atomic_t skc_refcnt;
+ unsigned int skc_hash;
struct proto *skc_prot;
};
Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
line in case of a miss.
Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
(ehash_size - 1)
File include/net/inet_hashtables.h
64 bits platforms :
#define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))
((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie)) && \
((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
32bits platforms:
#define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr == (__saddr)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr == (__daddr)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
- Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in
__inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and
__dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the
list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);

I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit
architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time.
Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back
by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.
In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.
When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

Handle better the case where the sender sends full sized
frames initially, then moves to a mode where it trickles
out small amounts of data at a time.
This known problem is even mentioned in the comments
above tcp_grow_window() in tcp_input.c, specifically:
...
* The scheme does not work when sender sends good segments opening
* window and then starts to feed us spagetti. But it should work
* in common situations. Otherwise, we have to rely on queue collapsing.
...
When the sender gives full sized frames, the "struct sk_buff" overhead
from each packet is small. So we'll advertize a larger window.
If the sender moves to a mode where small segments are sent, this
ratio becomes tilted to the other extreme and we start overrunning
the socket buffer space.
tcp_clamp_window() tries to address this, but it's clamping of
tp->window_clamp is a wee bit too aggressive for this particular case.
Fix confirmed by Ion Badulescu.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
But retain the comment fix.
Alexey Kuznetsov has explained the situation as follows:
--------------------
I think the fix is incorrect. Look, the RFC function init_cwnd(mss) is
not continuous: f.e. for mss=1095 it needs initial window 1095*4, but
for mss=1096 it is 1096*3. We do not know exactly what mss sender used
for calculations. If we advertised 1096 (and calculate initial window
3*1096), the sender could limit it to some value < 1096 and then it
will need window his_mss*4 > 3*1096 to send initial burst.
See?
So, the honest function for inital rcv_wnd derived from
tcp_init_cwnd() is:
init_rcv_wnd(mss)=
min { init_cwnd(mss1)*mss1 for mss1 <= mss }
It is something sort of:
if (mss < 1096)
return mss*4;
if (mss < 1096*2)
return 1096*4;
return mss*2;
(I just scrablled a graph of piece of paper, it is difficult to see or
to explain without this)
I selected it differently giving more window than it is strictly
required. Initial receive window must be large enough to allow sender
following to the rfc (or just setting initial cwnd to 2) to send
initial burst. But besides that it is arbitrary, so I decided to give
slack space of one segment.
Actually, the logic was:
If mss is low/normal (<=ethernet), set window to receive more than
initial burst allowed by rfc under the worst conditions
i.e. mss*4. This gives slack space of 1 segment for ethernet frames.
For msses slighlty more than ethernet frame, take 3. Try to give slack
space of 1 frame again.
If mss is huge, force 2*mss. No slack space.
Value 1460*3 is really confusing. Minimal one is 1096*2, but besides
that it is an arbitrary value. It was meant to be ~4096. 1460*3 is
just the magic number from RFC, 1460*3 = 1095*4 is the magic :-), so
that I guess hands typed this themselves.

we found a bug in net/appletalk/ddp.c concerning broadcast packets. In
kernel 2.4 it was working fine. The bug first occured 4 years ago when
switching to new SNAP layer handling. This bug can be splitted up into a
sending(1) and reception(2) problem:
Sending(1)
In kernel 2.4 broadcast packets were sent to a matching ethernet device
and atalk_rcv() was called to receive it as "loopback" (so loopback
packets were shortcutted and handled in DDP layer).
When switching to the new SNAP structure, this shortcut was removed and
the loopback packet was send to SNAP layer. The author forgot to replace
the remote device pointer by the loopback device pointer before sending
the packet to SNAP layer (by calling ddp_dl->request() ) therfor the
packet was not sent back by underlying layers to ddp's atalk_rcv().
Reception(2)
In atalk_rcv() a packet received by this loopback mechanism contains now
the (rigth) loopback device pointer (in Kernel 2.4 it was the (wrong)
remote ethernet device pointer) and therefor no matching socket will be
found to deliver this packet to. Because a broadcast packet should be
send to the first matching socket (as it is done in many other protocols
(?)), we removed the network comparison in broadcast case.
Below you will find a patch to correct this bug. Its diffed to kernel

I have been experimenting with loadable protocol modules, and ran into
several issues with module reference counting.
The first issue was that __module_get failed at the BUG_ON check at
the top of the routine (checking that my module reference count was
not zero) when I created the first socket. When sk_alloc() is called,
my module reference count was still 0. When I looked at why sctp
didn't have this problem, I discovered that sctp creates a control
socket during module init (when the module ref count is not 0), which
keeps the reference count non-zero. This section has been updated to
address the point Stephen raised about checking the return value of
try_module_get().
The next problem arose when my socket init routine returned an error.
This resulted in my module reference count being decremented below 0.
My socket ops->release routine was also being called. The issue here
is that sock_release() calls the ops->release routine and decrements
the ref count if sock->ops is not NULL. Since the socket probably
didn't get correctly initialized, this should not be done, so we will
set sock->ops to NULL because we will not call try_module_get().
While searching for another bug, I also noticed that sys_accept() has
a possibility of doing a module_put() when it did not do an
__module_get so I re-ordered the call to security_socket_accept().

When you've enabled conntrack and NAT as a module (standard case in all
distributions), and you've also enabled the new conntrack netlink
interface, loading ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will auto-load iptable_nat.ko.
This causes a huge performance penalty, since for every packet you iterate
the nat code, even if you don't want it.
This patch splits iptable_nat.ko into the NAT core (ip_nat.ko) and the
iptables frontend (iptable_nat.ko). Threfore, ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will
only pull ip_nat.ko, but not the frontend. ip_nat.ko will "only" allocate
some resources, but not affect runtime performance.
This separation is also a nice step in anticipation of new packet filters
(nf-hipac, ipset, pkttables) being able to use the NAT core.

thus need to perform a full lookup. If you look at debugfs or usbfs they
always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in
a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the
above functions.
And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so
this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers.

The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to
choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether
the transport itself provides it.
The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the
RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling
together. This method provides proper request serialization and the
opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the
transport is congested.
The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control
itself. Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after
years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control
is much better than doing it in the RPC client. Thus TCP, and probably
every future transport implementation, will use the default method,
xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind
of congestion control. UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided
Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation.

This also provides an FSM hook for retrying an rpcbind with a different
rpcbind protocol version. We'll use this later to try multiple rpcbind

code returned during a portmap request to the FSM so it can make some

This patch fixes a number of bugs. It cannot be reasonably split up in
multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same
function:
Bug #1:
The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held. Therefore, the
call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be
moved outside of the locked section. This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX
oops and deadlock reports.
Bug #2:
We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without
holding a lock. Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race
with another CPU.
Bug #3:
ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh
(and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be
performed. Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb
parameter bein non-null. We now re-introduce a non-accounting
"ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

Since the introduction of TSO pcount a year ago, it has been possible
for tcp_fragment() to cause packets_out to decrease. Prior to that,
tcp_retrans_try_collapse() was the only way for that to happen on the
retransmission path.
When this happens with Reno, it is possible for sasked_out to become
invalid because it is only an estimate and not tied to any particular
packet on the retransmission queue.
Therefore we need to adjust sacked_out as well as left_out in the Reno
case. The following patch does exactly that.
This bug is pretty difficult to trigger in practice though since you
need a SACKless peer with a retransmission that occurs just as the
cached MTU value expires.

drivers can now result in NETDEV_TX_BUSY being returned when the queue
a packet is targetted for is full.
To implement this, ieee80211_xmit will now call the driver's
is_queue_full to determine if the current priority queue is full. If
so, NETDEV_TX_BUSY is returned to the kernel and no processing is done

Fix TKIP, repeated fragmentation problem, and payload_size reporting
1. TKIP encryption
Originally, TKIP encryption issues msdu + mpdu encryption on every
fragment. Change the behavior to msdu encryption on the whole
packet, then mpdu encryption on every fragment.
2. Avoid repeated fragmentation when !host_encrypt.
We only need do fragmentation when using host encryption. Otherwise
we only need pass the whole packet to driver, letting driver do the
fragmentation.
3. change the txb->payload_size to correct value
FW will use this value to determine whether to do fragmentation. If
we pass the wrong value, fw may cut on the wrong bound which will
make decryption fail when we do host encryption.
NOTE: This requires changing drivers (hostap) that have
extra_prefix_len used within them (structure member name change).

Fixed a kernel oops on module unload by adding spin lock protection to
ieee80211's crypt handlers (thanks to Zhu Yi)
Modified scan result logic to report WPA and RSN IEs if set (vs.being
based on wpa_enabled)
Added ieee80211_device as the first parameter to the crypt init()
method. TKIP modified to use that structure for determining whether to
countermeasures are active.

Patch from Joel Sing to fix the default congestion control algorithm
for incoming connections. If a new congestion control handler is added
(via module), it should become the default for new
connections. Instead, the incoming connections use reno. The cause is
incorrect initialisation causes the tcp_init_congestion_control()
function to return after the initial if test fails.

Cleanup the printk's in fib_trie:
* Convert a couple of places in the dump code to BUG_ON
* Put log level's on each message
The version message really needed the message since it leaks out
on the pretty Fedora bootup.

The convention is that longer addresses will simply extend
the hardeware address byte arrays at the end of sockaddr_ll and
packet_mreq.
In making this change a small information leak was also closed.
The code only initializes the hardware address bytes that are
used, but all of struct sockaddr_ll was copied to userspace.
Now we just copy sockaddr_ll to the last byte of the hardware
address used.
For error checking larger structures than our internal
maximums continue to be allowed but an error is signaled if we can
not fit the hardware address into our internal structure.

Fix unchecked __get_user that could be tricked into generating a
memory read on an arbitrary address. The result of the read is not
returned directly but you may be able to divine some information about
it, or use the read to cause a crash on some architectures by reading
hardware state. CAN-2004-2492.
Fix from Al Viro, ack from Dave Miller.

The problem is that we're now calling tcp_fragment() in a context
where the packets might be marked as SACKED_ACKED or SACKED_RETRANS.
This was not possible before as you never retransmitted packets that
are so marked.
Because of this, we need to adjust sacked_out and retrans_out in
tcp_fragment(). This is exactly what the following patch does.
We also need to preserve the SACKED_ACKED/SACKED_RETRANS marking
if they exist.
