| * net: splice() from tcp to pipe should take into account O_NONBLOCKEric Dumazet2009-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_splice_read() doesnt take into account socket's O_NONBLOCK flag Before this patch : splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE); causes a random endless block (if pipe is full) and splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK); will return 0 immediately if the TCP buffer is empty. User application has no way to instruct splice() that socket should be in blocking mode but pipe in nonblock more. Many projects cannot use splice(tcp -> pipe) because of this flaw. http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=history;f=source3/lib/recvfile.c;h=ea0159642137390a0f7e57a123684e6e63e47581;hb=HEAD http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.2/0687.html Linus introduced SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK in commit 29e350944fdc2dfca102500790d8ad6d6ff4f69d (splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag ) It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations nonblocking. Linus intention was clear : let SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK control the splice pipe mode only This patch instruct tcp_splice_read() to use the underlying file O_NONBLOCK flag, as other socket operations do. Users will then call : splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK ); to block on data coming from socket (if file is in blocking mode), and not block on pipe output (to avoid deadlock) First version of this patch was submitted by Octavian Purdila Reported-by: Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org> Reported-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * net: Use sk_mark for routing lookup in more placesAtis Elsts2009-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch against v2.6.31 adds support for route lookup using sk_mark in some more places. The benefits from this patch are the following. First, SO_MARK option now has effect on UDP sockets too. Second, ip_queue_xmit() and inet_sk_rebuild_header() could fail to do routing lookup correctly if TCP sockets with SO_MARK were used.

| * IPv4 TCP fails to send window scale option when window scale is zeroOri Finkelman2009-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero. This fixes the following observed behavior: 1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale value to a Linux box. 2. Linux box notes large receive window from client. 3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part. 4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all. With the following result: Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had TCP window scale option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server regarding window sizes. Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice): 1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server. 2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale. 3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does not to set windows scale TCP option header on SYN. With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal performance.

| | * mac80211: Fix [re]association power saving issue on AP sideIgor Perminov2009-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consider the following step-by step: 1. A STA authenticates and associates with the AP and exchanges traffic. 2. The STA reports to the AP that it is going to PS state. 3. Some time later the STA device goes to the stand-by mode (not only its wi-fi card, but the device itself) and drops the association state without sending a disassociation frame. 4. The STA device wakes up and begins authentication with an Auth frame as it hasn't been authenticated/associated previously. At the step 4 the AP "remembers" the STA and considers it is still in the PS state, so the AP buffers frames, which it has to send to the STA. But the STA isn't actually in the PS state and so it neither checks TIM bits nor reports to the AP that it isn't power saving. Because of that authentication/[re]association fails. To fix authentication/[re]association stage of this issue, Auth, Assoc Resp and Reassoc Resp frames are transmitted disregarding of STA's power saving state. N.B. This patch doesn't fix further data frame exchange after authentication/[re]association. A patch in hostapd is required to fix that.

Fix is to update pkt_dev->next_tx even if spin() returns early, so that next spin() calls have a chance to see a positive delay.

* tunnel: eliminate recursion fieldEric Dumazet2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | It seems recursion field from "struct ip_tunnel" is not anymore needed. recursion prevention is done at the upper level (in dev_queue_xmit()), since we use HARD_TX_LOCK protection for tunnels. This avoids a cache line ping pong on "struct ip_tunnel" : This structure should be now mostly read on xmit and receive paths.

| * NFS/RPC: fix problems with reestablish_timeout and related code.Neil Brown2009-09-23

It is not used for the first connection (when transport->sock is NULL) but only on reconnects. It is currently set: a/ to 0 when xs_tcp_state_change finds a state of TCP_FIN_WAIT1 on the assumption that the client has closed the connection so the reconnect should be immediate when needed. b/ to at least XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO when xs_tcp_state_change detects TCP_CLOSING or TCP_CLOSE_WAIT on the assumption that the server closed the connection so a small delay at least is required. c/ as above when xs_tcp_state_change detects TCP_SYN_SENT, so that it is never 0 while a connection has been attempted, else the doubling will produce 0 and there will be no backoff. d/ to double is value (up to a limit) when delaying a connection, thus providing exponential backoff and e/ to XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO in xs_setup_tcp as simple initialisation. So you can see it is highly dependant on xs_tcp_state_change being called as expected. However experimental evidence shows that xs_tcp_state_change does not see all state changes. ("rpcdebug -m rpc trans" can help show what actually happens). Results show: TCP_ESTABLISHED is reported when a connection is made. TCP_SYN_SENT is never reported, so rule 'c' above is never effective. When the server closes the connection, TCP_CLOSE_WAIT and TCP_LAST_ACK *might* be reported, and TCP_CLOSE is always reported. This rule 'b' above will sometimes be effective, but not reliably. When the client closes the connection, it used to result in TCP_FIN_WAIT1, TCP_FIN_WAIT2, TCP_CLOSE. However since commit f75e674 (SUNRPC: Fix the problem of EADDRNOTAVAIL syslog floods on reconnect) we don't see *any* events on client-close. I think this is because xs_restore_old_callbacks is called to disconnect xs_tcp_state_change before the socket is closed. In any case, rule 'a' no longer applies. So all that is left are rule d, which successfully doubles the timeout which is never rest, and rule e which initialises the timeout. Even if the rules worked as expected, there would be a problem because a successful connection does not reset the timeout, so a sequence of events where the server closes the connection (e.g. during failover testing) will cause longer and longer timeouts with no good reason. This patch: - sets reestablish_timeout to 0 in xs_close thus effecting rule 'a' - sets it to 0 in xs_tcp_data_ready to ensure that a successful connection resets the timeout - sets it to at least XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO after it is doubled, thus effecting rule c I have not reimplemented rule b and the new version of rule c seems sufficient. I suspect other code in xs_tcp_data_ready needs to be revised as well. For example I don't think connect_cookie is being incremented as often as it should be.
