If the call to xprt_transmit() fails due to socket buffer space
exhaustion, we do not need to re-encode the RPC message when we
loop back through call_transmit.
Re-encoding can actually end up triggering the WARN_ON() in
call_decode() if we re-encode something like a read() request and
auth->au_rslack has changed.
It can also cause us to increment the RPCSEC_GSS sequence number
beyond the limits of the allowed window.

The generic netlink family builds on top of netlink and provides
simplifies access for the less demanding netlink users. It solves
the problem of protocol numbers running out by introducing a so
called controller taking care of id management and name resolving.
Generic netlink modules register themself after filling out their
id card (struct genl_family), after successful registration the
modules are able to register callbacks to command numbers by
filling out a struct genl_ops and calling genl_register_op(). The
registered callbacks are invoked with attributes parsed making
life of simple modules a lot easier.
Although generic netlink modules can request static identifiers,
it is recommended to use GENL_ID_GENERATE and to let the controller
assign a unique identifier to the module. Userspace applications
will then ask the controller and lookup the idenfier by the module
name.
Due to the current multicast implementation of netlink, the number
of generic netlink modules is restricted to 1024 to avoid wasting
memory for the per socket multiacst subscription bitmask.

Introduces netlink_run_queue() to handle the receive queue of
a netlink socket in a generic way. Processes as much as there
was in the queue upon entry and invokes a callback function
for each netlink message found. The callback function may
refuse a message by returning a negative error code but setting
the error pointer to 0 in which case netlink_run_queue() will
return with a qlen != 0.

The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.
In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.
The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here. For example, these issues include:
1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
messages
2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
(which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
isn't feasible in ipv6
3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
design
4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT
The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.

->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.
At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can
actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

And filter mode is exclude.
Further explanation by David Stevens:
Multicast source filters aren't widely used yet, and that's really the only
feature that's affected if an application actually exercises this bug, as far
as I can tell. An ordinary filter-less multicast join should still work, and
only forwarded multicast traffic making use of filters and doing empty-source
filters with the MSFILTER ioctl would be at risk of not getting multicast
traffic forwarded to them because the reports generated would not be based on
the correct counts.

Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature.
1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik.
2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
3. udp sendfile support with UFO
This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP
datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device
driver to use the UFO interface.
UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface:
-------------------------------------------
UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the
IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This
will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to
MTU sized packets
1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using
dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6.
2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine.
UFO packet will have a non-zero value for
"skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size"
skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP
fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware.
skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]
contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW
indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should
compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of
each fragmented IP packet.
For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in
skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating
IPv6 fragments.

This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked"
messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added.
It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems. However,
some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running
Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface.
In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code
that's been there since at least 2.1.8. This bug was tracked down with
help from Dale Blount.
The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked"
messages to hung/aborted TCP connections. The details of the bug
and fix is as follows.
When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if
tcp_fast_path_check succeeds. When it fails (for example,
when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with
an out-of-date snd_wnd value.
When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming
packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd
which will be wrong.
In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd
cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero. Therefore
when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the
window is non-zero.
In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we
will continue making the same mistake. It's only when the peer
transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a
chance to snap out of it. This is what triggers the treason
message at the next retransmit timeout.

This patch kills a redundant rcu_dereference on fa->fa_info in fib_trie.c.
As this dereference directly follows a list_for_each_entry_rcu line, we
have already taken a read barrier with respect to getting an entry from
the list.
This read barrier guarantees that all values read out of fa are valid.
In particular, the contents of structure pointed to by fa->fa_info is
initialised before fa->fa_info is actually set (see fn_trie_insert);
the setting of fa->fa_info itself is further separated with a write
barrier from the insertion of fa into the list.
Therefore by taking a read barrier after obtaining fa from the list
(which is given by list_for_each_entry_rcu), we can be sure that
fa->fa_info contains a valid pointer, as well as the fact that the
data pointed to by fa->fa_info is itself valid.

neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting
nud_state. This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired
when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr. The result is that
the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches
NEIGH_FAILED.
It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer
has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock.
In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in
neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when
it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state.
So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common
function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it.

neigh_add_timer cannot use add_timer unconditionally. The reason is that
by the time it has obtained the write lock someone else (e.g., neigh_update)
could have already added a new timer.

This bug would have led to rare neighbour cache entry leaks.

icmp_send doesn't use skb->sk at all so even if skb->sk has already
been freed it can't cause crash there (it would've crashed somewhere
else first, e.g., ip_queue_xmit).
I found a double-free on an skb that could explain this though.
dccp_sendmsg and dccp_write_xmit are a little confused as to what
should free the packet when something goes wrong. Sometimes they
both go for the ball and end up in each other's way.
This patch makes dccp_write_xmit always free the packet no matter

will come in, and the other code will not think that network device
is part of a bridge.

This patch fixes the following bugs in ESP:
* Fix transport mode MTU overestimate. This means that the inner MTU
is smaller than it needs be. Worse yet, given an input MTU which
is a multiple of 4 it will always produce an estimate which is not
a multiple of 4.
For example, given a standard ESP/3DES/MD5 transform and an MTU of
1500, the resulting MTU for transport mode is 1462 when it should
be 1464.
The reason for this is because IP header lengths are always a multiple
of 4 for IPv4 and 8 for IPv6.
* Ensure that the block size is at least 4. This is required by RFC2406
and corresponds to what the esp_output function does. At the moment
this only affects crypto_null as its block size is 1.

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
