| | | | | | | | | | No available servers is more an error message than something informational.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch extends the inet_addr_type and inet_dev_addr_type with the network namespace pointer. That allows to access the different tables relatively to the network namespace. The modification of the signature function is reported in all the callers of the inet_addr_type using the pointer to the well known init_net.

* [IPVS]: Switch to using ctl_paths.Pavel Emelyanov2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The feature of ipvs ctls is that the net/ipv4/vs path is common for core ipvs ctls and for two schedulers, so I make it exported and re-use it in modules. Two other .c files required linux/sysctl.h to make the extern declaration of this path compile well.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch the synced connections are created with their real state, which can be changed on the next synchronizations if necessary. This way on fail-over all the connections will be treated according to their actual state, causing no scheduling problems (the active and the nonactive connections have different weights in the schedulers).

* [IPVS]: Fix sched registration race when checking for name collision.Pavel Emelyanov2007-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The register_ip_vs_scheduler() checks for the scheduler with the same name under the read-locked __ip_vs_sched_lock, then drops, takes it for writing and puts the scheduler in list. This is racy, since we can have a race window between the lock being re-locked for writing. The fix is to search the scheduler with the given name right under the write-locked __ip_vs_sched_lock.

* [IPVS]: Don't leak sysctl tables if the scheduler registration fails.Pavel Emelyanov2007-12-05

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is silly, but I have turned the CONFIG_IP_VS to m, to check the compilation of one (recently sent) fix and set all the CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_XXX options to n to speed up the compilation.

With no protocols selected there are no calls to this function - all are compiled out with ifdefs.

* [IPVS]: Synchronize closing of ConnectionsRumen G. Bogdanovski2007-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes the master daemon to sync the connection when it is about to close. This makes the connections on the backup to close or timeout according their state. Before the sync was performed only if the connection is in ESTABLISHED state which always made the connections to timeout in the hard coded 3 minutes. However the Andy Gospodarek's patch ([IPVS]: use proper timeout instead of fixed value) effectively did nothing more than increasing this to 15 minutes (Established state timeout). So this patch makes use of proper timeout since it syncs the connections on status changes to FIN_WAIT (2min timeout) and CLOSE (10sec timeout). However if the backup misses CLOSE hopefully it did not miss FIN_WAIT. Otherwise we will just have to wait for the ESTABLISHED state timeout. As it is without this patch. This way the number of the hanging connections on the backup is kept to minimum. And very few of them will be left to timeout with a long timeout. This is important if we want to make use of the fix for the real server overcommit on master/backup fail-over. Signed-off-by: Rumen G.

* [IPVS]: Bind connections on stanby if the destination existsRumen G. Bogdanovski2007-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the problem with node overload on director fail-over. Given the scenario: 2 nodes each accepting 3 connections at a time and 2 directors, director failover occurs when the nodes are fully loaded (6 connections to the cluster) in this case the new director will assign another 6 connections to the cluster, If the same real servers exist there. The problem turned to be in not binding the inherited connections to the real servers (destinations) on the backup director. Therefore: "ipvsadm -l" reports 0 connections: root@test2:~# ipvsadm -l IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096) Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn TCP test2.local:5999 wlc -> node473.local:5999 Route 1000 0 0 -> node484.local:5999 Route 1000 0 0 while "ipvs -lnc" is right root@test2:~# ipvsadm -lnc IPVS connection entries pro expire state source virtual destination TCP 14:56 ESTABLISHED 192.168.0.10:39164 192.168.0.222:5999 192.168.0.51:5999 TCP 14:59 ESTABLISHED 192.168.0.10:39165 192.168.0.222:5999 192.168.0.52:5999 So the patch I am sending fixes the problem by binding the received connections to the appropriate service on the backup director, if it exists, else the connection will be handled the old way. So if the master and the backup directors are synchronized in terms of real services there will be no problem with server over-committing since new connections will not be created on the nonexistent real services on the backup. However if the service is created later on the backup, the binding will be performed when the next connection update is received. With this patch the inherited connections will show as inactive on the backup: root@test2:~# ipvsadm -l IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096) Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn TCP test2.local:5999 wlc -> node473.local:5999 Route 1000 0 1 -> node484.local:5999 Route 1000 0 1 rumen@test2:~$ cat /proc/net/ip_vs IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096) Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn TCP C0A800DE:176F wlc -> C0A80033:176F Route 1000 0 1 -> C0A80032:176F Route 1000 0 1 Regards, Rumen Bogdanovski Acked-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Rumen G.

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

* [NETFILTER]: Fix/improve deadlock condition on module removal netfilterNeil Horman2007-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So I've had a deadlock reported to me. I've found that the sequence of events goes like this: 1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko 2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket, increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count 3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine, which calls nf_unregister_sockopt 4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel 4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load ip_tables_nat.ko 5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and blocks until modprobe exits. 6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one. 7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in step 3) Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've developed a two part solution that corrects the problem Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt calls a modules set/get routine. This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4 from happening. Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity request blocking operation. So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since root can do any old stupid thing it would like.... :) ).

Fix this in ipvs by using the IP_VS_WAIT_WHILE macro which resolves to while (expr) { cpu_relax(); } (why isn't this open coded btw?)

* mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

* [IPVS]: Fix state variable on failure to start ipvs threadsNeil Horman2007-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ip_vs currently fails to reset its ip_vs_sync_state variable if the sync thread fails to start properly. The result is that the kernel will report a running daemon when their actuall is none. If you issue the following commands: 1. ipvsadm --start-daemon master --mcast-interface bla 2. ipvsadm -L --daemon 3. ipvsadm --stop-daemon master Assuming that bla is not an actual interface, step 2 should return no data, but instead returns: $ ipvsadm -L --daemon master sync daemon (mcast=bla, syncid=0) Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | unify flush_work/flush_work_keventd and rename it to cancel_work_syncOleg Nesterov2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_work(wq, work) doesn't need the first parameter, we can use cwq->wq (this was possible from the very beginnig, I missed this). So we can unify flush_work_keventd and flush_work. Also, rename flush_work() to cancel_work_sync() and fix all callers. Perhaps this is not the best name, but "flush_work" is really bad.

The module may be unloaded and the memory may be freed while defense_work's handler is still running/preempted. Do flush_work(&defense_work.work) after cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). Alternatively, we could add flush_work() to cancel_rearming_delayed_work(), but note that we can't change cancel_delayed_work() in the same manner because it may be called from atomic context.
