* [NETFILTER]: nat: avoid rerouting packets if only XFRM policy key changedPatrick McHardy2007-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently NAT not only reroutes packets in the OUTPUT chain when the routing key changed, but also if only the non-routing part of the IPsec policy key changed. This breaks ping -I since it doesn't use SO_BINDTODEVICE but IP_PKTINFO cmsg to specify the output device, and this information is lost. Only do full rerouting if the routing key changed, and just do a new policy lookup with the old route if only the ports changed.

* [IPV4]: Do not disable preemption in trie_leaf_remove().Robert Olsson2007-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hello, Just discussed this Patrick... We have two users of trie_leaf_remove, fn_trie_flush and fn_trie_delete both are holding RTNL. So there shouldn't be need for this preempt stuff. This is assumed to a leftover from an older RCU-take. > Mhh ..

* [NetLabel]: parse the CIPSO ranged tag on incoming packetsPaul Moore2007-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 484b366932be0b73a22c74a82748ca10a721643e added support for the CIPSO ranged categories tag. However, it appears that I made a mistake when rebasing then patch to the latest upstream sources for submission and dropped the part of the patch that actually parses the tag on incoming packets. This patch fixes this mistake by adding the required function call to the cipso_v4_skbuff_getattr() function. I've run this patch over the weekend and have not noticed any problems.

This can happen in combination with the conntrack event cache, which holds a reference to the conntrack entry, which is only released when the packet makes it all the way through the stack or a different packet is handled. - taking references to an unconfirmed entry and using it outside the locked section doesn't work, the list entries are not refcounted and another CPU might already be waiting to destroy the entry What the code really wants to do is make sure the references of the hash table to the selected conntrack entries are released, so they will be destroyed once all references from skbs and the event cache are dropped. Since unconfirmed entries haven't even entered the hash yet, simply mark them as dying and skip confirmation based on that.

* | bonding: Improve IGMP join processingJay Vosburgh2007-03-06
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In active-backup mode, the current bonding code duplicates IGMP traffic to all slaves, so that switches are up to date in case of a failover from an active to a backup interface. If bonding then fails back to the original active interface, it is likely that the "active slave" switch's IGMP forwarding for the port will be out of date until some event occurs to refresh the switch (e.g., a membership query). This patch alters the behavior of bonding to no longer flood IGMP to all ports, and to issue IGMP JOINs to the newly active port at the time of a failover. This insures that switches are kept up to date for all cases. "GOELLESCH Niels" <niels.goellesch@eurocontrol.int> originally reported this problem, and included a patch. His original patch was modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally remove the existing IGMP flood behavior, use RCU, streamline code paths, fix trailing white space, and adjust for style.

* [NetLabel]: Verify sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mappingPaul Moore2007-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current CIPSO engine has a problem where it does not verify that the given sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mapping when the "std" CIPSO DOI type is used. The end result is that bad packets are sent on the wire which should have never been sent in the first place. This patch corrects this problem by verifying the sensitivity level mapping similar to what is done with the category mapping. This patch also changes the returned error code in this case to -EPERM to better match what the category mapping verification code returns.

If I shut down the connection before running 'ifdown eth0', then there's no problem. The critical operation of this script is to kill dhcpd. The problem is probably caused by commit with git identifier 4337226228e1cfc1d70ee975789c6bd070fb597c (Linus tree) "[IPSEC]: IPv4 over IPv6 IPsec tunnel". This patch fixes that oops.

* [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

* [TCP]: Prevent pseudo garbage in SYN's advertized windowIlpo Järvinen2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP may advertize up to 16-bits window in SYN packets (no window scaling allowed). At the same time, TCP may have rcv_wnd (32-bits) that does not fit to 16-bits without window scaling resulting in pseudo garbage into advertized window from the low-order bits of rcv_wnd. This can happen at least when mss <= (1<<wscale) (see tcp_select_initial_window). This patch fixes the handling of SYN advertized windows (compile tested only). In worst case (which is unlikely to occur though), the receiver advertized window could be just couple of bytes. I'm not sure that such situation would be handled very well at all by the receiver!? Fortunately, the situation normalizes after the first non-SYN ACK is received because it has the correct, scaled window. Alternatively, tcp_select_initial_window could be changed to prevent too large rcv_wnd in the first place.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I forgot to test build this part of the networking code... Sorry guys. This patch renames u.rt_next to u.dst.rt_next Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [IPV4]: Convert ipv4 route to use the new dst_entry 'next' pointerEric Dumazet2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the rt_next pointer from 'struct rtable.u' union, and renames u.rt_next to u.dst_rt_next. It also moves 'struct flowi' right after 'struct dst_entry' to prepare the gain on lookups. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [UDP]: UDP can use sk_hash to speedup lookupsEric Dumazet2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a prior patch, I introduced a sk_hash field (__sk_common.skc_hash) to let tcp lookups use one cache line per unmatched entry instead of two. We can also use sk_hash to speedup UDP part as well. We store in sk_hash the hnum value, and use sk->sk_hash (same cache line than 'next' pointer), instead of inet->num (different cache line) Note : We still have a false sharing problem for SMP machines, because sock_hold(sock) dirties the cache line containing the 'next' pointer. Not counting the udp_hash_lock rwlock. (did someone mentioned RCU ? :) ) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NET]: change layout of ehash tableEric Dumazet2007-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ehash table layout is currently this one : First half of this table is used by sockets not in TIME_WAIT state Second half of it is used by sockets in TIME_WAIT state. This is non optimal because of for a given hash or socket, the two chain heads are located in separate cache lines. Moreover the locks of the second half are never used. If instead of this halving, we use two list heads in inet_ehash_bucket instead of only one, we probably can avoid one cache miss, and reduce ram usage, particularly if sizeof(rwlock_t) is big (various CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC settings). So we still halves the table but we keep together related chains to speedup lookups and socket state change. In this patch I did not try to align struct inet_ehash_bucket, but a future patch could try to make this structure have a convenient size (a power of two or a multiple of L1_CACHE_SIZE). I guess rwlock will just vanish as soon as RCU is plugged into ehash :) , so maybe we dont need to scratch our heads to align the bucket... Note : In case struct inet_ehash_bucket is not a power of two, we could probably change alloc_large_system_hash() (in case it use __get_free_pages()) to free the unused space. It currently allocates a big zone, but the last quarter of it could be freed. Again, this should be a temporary 'problem'. Patch tested on ipv4 tcp only, but should be OK for IPV6 and DCCP.
