| * net: Fix soft lockups/OOM issues w/ unix garbage collectordann frazier2008-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201 It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of wait_event_interruptible(). Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg() block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes. Signed-off-by: dann frazier <dannf@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | net: percpu_counter_inc() should not be called in BH-disabled sectionEric Dumazet2008-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based upon a lockdep report by Alexey Dobriyan. I checked all per_cpu_counter_xxx() usages in network tree, and I think all call sites are BH enabled except one in inet_csk_listen_stop(). commit dd24c00191d5e4a1ae896aafe33c6b8095ab4bd1 (net: Use a percpu_counter for orphan_count) replaced atomic_t orphan_count to a percpu_counter. atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() can be called from any context, while percpu_counter_xxx() should be called from a consistent state. For orphan_count, this context can be the BH-enabled one. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | dccp: Feature activation handlersGerrit Renker2008-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides the post-processing of feature negotiation state, after the negotiation has completed. To this purpose, handlers are used and added to the dccp_feat_table. Each handler is passed a boolean flag whether the RX or TX side of the feature is meant. Several handlers are provided already, new handlers can easily be added. The initialisation is now fully dynamic, i.e. CCIDs are activated only after the feature negotiation. The integration of this dynamic activation is done in the subsequent patches. Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing out the necessity of skipping over empty Confirm options while copying the negotiated feature values.

* | dccp: Processing Confirm optionsGerrit Renker2008-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Analogous to the previous patch, this adds code to interpret incoming Confirm feature-negotiation options. Both functions operate on the feature-negotiation list of either the request_sock (server) or the dccp_sock (client). Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing out that it is overly restrictive to check the entire list of confirmed SP values.

* | dccp: Process incoming Change feature-negotiation optionsGerrit Renker2008-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds/replaces code for processing incoming ChangeL/R options. The main difference is that: * mandatory FN options are now interpreted inside the function (there are too many individual cases to do this externally); * the function returns an appropriate Reset code or 0, which is then used to fill in the data for the Reset packet. Old code, which is no longer used or referenced, has been removed. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | dccp: Preference list reconciliationGerrit Renker2008-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides two functions to * reconcile preference lists (with appropriate return codes) and * reorder the preference list if successful reconciliation changed the preferred value. The patch also removes the old code for processing SP/NN Change options, since new code to process these is mostly there already; related references have been commented out. The code for processing Change options follows in the next patch. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | dccp: Integrate feature-negotiation insertion codeGerrit Renker2008-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch implements insertion of feature negotiation at the server (listening and request socket) and the client (connecting socket). In dccp_insert_options(), several statements have been grouped together now to achieve (it is hoped) better efficiency by reducing the number of tests each packet has to go through: - Ack Vectors are sent if the packet is neither a Data or a Request packet; - a previous issue is corrected - feature negotiation options are allowed on DataAck packets (5.8).

| * | netfilter: ctnetlink: deliver events for conntracks changed from userspacePablo Neira Ayuso2008-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As for now, the creation and update of conntracks via ctnetlink do not propagate an event to userspace. This can result in inconsistent situations if several userspace processes modify the connection tracking table by means of ctnetlink at the same time. Specifically, using the conntrack command line tool and conntrackd at the same time can trigger unconsistencies. This patch also modifies the event cache infrastructure to pass the process PID and the ECHO flag to nfnetlink_send() to report back to userspace if the process that triggered the change needs so.

I have a DNAT target in the OUTPUT chain than changes connections with dst 2.0.0.1 to another address which I'll substitute with 66.102.9.99 below. On every boot I get the following message: [ 146.252505] NAT: no longer support implicit source local NAT [ 146.252517] NAT: packet src 66.102.9.99 -> dst 2.0.0.1 As far as I can tell from reading the function doing this, it should warn if the source IP for the route to 66.102.9.99 is different from 2.0.0.1 but that is not the case. It doesn't make sense to check the DNAT target against the local route source. Either the function should be changed to correctly check the route, or it should be removed entirely as it's been nearly 2 years since it was added.

Miller, empty packet can be transmitted on connected socket for datagram protocols. However, this patch broke a high level application using ROSE network protocol with connected datagram. Bulletin Board Stations perform bulletins forwarding between BBS stations via ROSE network using a forward protocol. Now, if for some reason, a buffer in the application software happens to be empty at a specific moment, ROSE sends an empty packet via unfiltered packet socket. When received, this ROSE packet introduces perturbations of data exchange of BBS forwarding, for the application message forwarding protocol is waiting for something else. We agree that a more careful programming of the application protocol would avoid this situation and we are willing to debug it. But, as an empty frame is no use and does not have any meaning for ROSE protocol, we may consider filtering zero length data both when sending and receiving socket data. The proposed patch repaired BBS data exchange through ROSE network that were broken since 2.6.22.11 kernel. Signed-off-by: Bernard Pidoux <f6bvp@amsat.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch fixes this by giving the bridge device an ops field with an update_pmtu function. For the moment I've left all other fields blank but we can fill them in later should the need arise. Based on report and patch by Philip Craig. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
