* [TCP]: Clear stale pred_flags when snd_wnd changesHerbert Xu2005-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 When it fails (for example, when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with an out-of-date snd_wnd value. When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd which will be wrong.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.

* [IPSEC] Fix block size/MTU bugs in ESPHerbert Xu2005-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Sorry, no exact revison and no more debugging > yet since it'a a production gateway. 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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [INET]: speedup inet (tcp/dccp) lookupsEric Dumazet2005-10-03

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); Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: Fix packet timestamping.Herbert Xu2005-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [TCP]: Don't over-clamp window in tcp_clamp_window()Alexey Kuznetsov2005-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> 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.

* [TCP]: Revert 6b251858d377196b8cea20e65cae60f584a42735David S. Miller2005-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. -------------------- Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NETFILTER]: Fix invalid module autoloading by splitting iptable_natHarald Welte2005-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [TCP]: Adjust Reno SACK estimate in tcp_fragmentHerbert Xu2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * [TCP]: Handle SACK'd packets properly in tcp_fragment().Herbert Xu2005-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | [PATCH] raw_sendmsg DoS on 2.6Mark J Cox2005-09-19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [NETFILTER]: Fix oops in conntrack event cacheHarald Welte2005-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | ip_ct_refresh_acct() can be called without a valid "skb" pointer. This used to work, since ct_add_counters() deals with that fact. However, the recently-added event cache doesn't handle this at all. This patch is a quick fix that is supposed to be replaced soon by a cleaner solution during the pending redesign of the event cache.
