2010-01-06ip: fix mc_loop checks for tunnels with multicast outer addressesOctavian Purdila1-0/+16
When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families (i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled. The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket (e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part). setsockopt sets the inner family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

2010-01-05IPVS: Allow boot time change of hash sizeCatalin(ux) M. BOIE1-11/+5
I was very frustrated about the fact that I have to recompile the kernel to change the hash size. So, I created this patch. If IPVS is built-in you can append ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=?? to kernel command line, or, if you built IPVS as modules, you can add options ip_vs conn_tab_bits=??. To keep everything backward compatible, you still can select the size at compile time, and that will be used as default. It has been about a year since this patch was originally posted and subsequently dropped on the basis of insufficient test data. Mark Bergsma has provided the following test results which seem to strongly support the need for larger hash table sizes: We do however run into the same problem with the default setting (212 = 4096 entries), as most of our LVS balancers handle around a million connections/SLAB entries at any point in time (around 100-150 kpps load). With only 4096 hash table entries this implies that each entry consists of a linked list of 256 connections *on average*. To provide some statistics, I did an oprofile run on an 2.6.31 kernel, with both the default 4096 table size, and the same kernel recompiled with IP_VS_CONN_TAB_BITS set to 18 (218 = 262144 entries). I built a quick test setup with a part of Wikimedia/Wikipedia's live traffic mirrored by the switch to the test host. With the default setting, at ~ 120 kpps packet load we saw a typical %si CPU usage of around 30-35%, and oprofile reported a hot spot in ip_vs_conn_in_get: samples % image name app name symbol name 1719761 42.3741 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_in_get 302577 7.4554 bnx2 bnx2 /bnx2 181984 4.4840 vmlinux vmlinux __ticket_spin_lock 128636 3.1695 vmlinux vmlinux ip_route_input 74345 1.8318 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_out_get 68482 1.6874 vmlinux vmlinux mwait_idle After loading the recompiled kernel with 218 entries, %si CPU usage dropped in half to around 12-18%, and oprofile looks much healthier, with only 7% spent in ip_vs_conn_in_get: samples % image name app name symbol name 265641 14.4616 bnx2 bnx2 /bnx2 143251 7.7986 vmlinux vmlinux __ticket_spin_lock 140661 7.6576 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_in_get 94364 5.1372 vmlinux vmlinux mwait_idle 86267 4.6964 vmlinux vmlinux ip_route_input [ horms@verge.net.au: trivial up-port and minor style fixes ] Signed-off-by: Catalin(ux) M.

To make it easier to notice cases of calling sleeping ops in atomic context, annotate driver-ops.h with appropiate might_sleep() calls. At the same time, also document in mac80211.h the op functions with missing contexts. mac80211 doesn't seem to use get_tx_stats anywhere currently.

Add new commands for requesting the driver to remain awake on a specified channel for the specified amount of time (and another command to cancel such an operation). This can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another channel than the operation channel. The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be used to request enough time to receive a response from the target station.

2009-12-26llc: replace the socket list with a local address based hashOctavian Purdila1-1/+20
For the cases where a lot of interfaces are used in conjunction with a lot of LLC sockets bound to the same SAP, the iteration of the socket list becomes prohibitively expensive. Replacing the list with a a local address based hash significantly improves the bind and listener lookup operations as well as the datagram delivery. Connected sockets delivery is also improved, but this patch does not address the case where we have lots of sockets with the same local address connected to different remote addresses. In order to keep the socket sanity checks alive and fast a socket counter was added to the SAP structure. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-26llc: convert the socket list to RCU lockingOctavian Purdila1-4/+3
For the reclamation phase we use the SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU mechanism, which require some extra checks in the lookup code: a) If the current socket was released, reallocated & inserted in another list it will short circuit the iteration for the current list, thus we need to restart the lookup. b) If the current socket was released, reallocated & inserted in the same list we just need to recheck it matches the look-up criteria and if not we can skip to the next element. In this case there is no need to restart the lookup, since sockets are inserted at the start of the list and the worst that will happen is that we will iterate throught some of the list elements more then once. Note that the /proc and multicast delivery was not yet converted to RCU, it still uses spinlocks for protection. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-23net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive windowlaurent chavey2-3/+2
Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size advertised by passive and active TCP connections. The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results in increased latency to complete the transaction. Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window. The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window than the ones bounded by slow start.

2009-12-21mac80211: reduce reliance on netdevJohannes Berg1-0/+2
For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so prepare for that by reducing the reliance on having a netdev. This patch moves the name and address fields into the sdata struct and uses them from there all over. Some work is needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not a lot of work and in slow paths anyway. In doing so, this also reduces the number of pointer dereferences in many places, because of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming sdata->vif.addr.

It creates a regression, triggering badness for SYN_RECV sockets, for example: [19148.022102] Badness at net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c:293 [19148.022570] NIP: c02a0914 LR: c02a0904 CTR: 00000000 [19148.023035] REGS: eeecbd30 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (2.6.32) [19148.023496] MSR: 00029032 <EE,ME,CE,IR,DR> CR: 24002442 XER: 00000000 [19148.024012] TASK = eee9a820[1756] 'privoxy' THREAD: eeeca000 This is likely caused by the change in the 'estab' parameter passed to tcp_parse_options() when invoked by the functions in net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c But even if that is fixed, the ->conn_request() changes made in this patch series is fundamentally wrong. They try to use the listening socket's 'dst' to probe the route settings. The listening socket doesn't even have a route, and you can't get the right route (the child request one) until much later after we setup all of the state, and it must be done by hand. This stuff really isn't ready, so the best thing to do is a full revert.

2009-12-15netfilter: fix crashes in bridge netfilter caused by fragment jumpsPatrick McHardy2-0/+2
When fragments from bridge netfilter are passed to IPv4 or IPv6 conntrack and a reassembly queue with the same fragment key already exists from reassembling a similar packet received on a different device (f.i. with multicasted fragments), the reassembled packet might continue on a different codepath than where the head fragment originated. This can cause crashes in bridge netfilter when a fragment received on a non-bridge device (and thus with skb->nf_bridge == NULL) continues through the bridge netfilter code. Add a new reassembly identifier for packets originating from bridge netfilter and use it to put those packets in insolated queues.

2009-12-08tcp: Stalling connections: Fix timeout calculation routineDamian Lukowski1-2/+8
This patch fixes a problem in the TCP connection timeout calculation. Currently, timeout decisions are made on the basis of the current tcp_time_stamp and retrans_stamp, which is usually set at the first retransmission. However, if the retransmission fails in tcp_retransmit_skb(), retrans_stamp is not updated and remains zero. This leads to wrong decisions in retransmits_timed_out() if tcp_time_stamp is larger than the specified timeout, which is very likely. In this case, the TCP connection dies after the first attempted (and unsuccessful) retransmission. With this patch, tcp_skb_cb->when is used instead, when retrans_stamp is not available. This bug has been introduced together with retransmits_timed_out() in 2.6.32, as the number of retransmissions has been used for timeout decisions before. The corresponding commit was 6fa12c85031485dff38ce550c24f10da23b0adaa (Revert Backoff [v3]: Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.).

Another thread might find the timewait socket we already chose, leading to list corruption and crashes. Fix is to remove timewait socket from bind list before releasing the bind lock. Note: This problem happens if sysctl_tcp_tw_reuse is set. Reported-by: kapil dakhane <kdakhane@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

First patch changes __inet_hash_nolisten() and __inet6_hash() to get a timewait parameter to be able to unhash it from ehash at same time the new socket is inserted in hash. This makes sure timewait socket wont be found by a concurrent writer in __inet_check_established() Reported-by: kapil dakhane <kdakhane@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-03tcp: connect() race with timewait reuseEric Dumazet1-0/+2
Its currently possible that several threads issuing a connect() find the same timewait socket and try to reuse it, leading to list corruptions. Condition for bug is that these threads bound their socket on same address/port of to-be-find timewait socket, and connected to same target. (SO_REUSEADDR needed) To fix this problem, we could unhash timewait socket while holding ehash lock, to make sure lookups/changes will be serialized. Only first thread finds the timewait socket, other ones find the established socket and return an EADDRNOTAVAIL error. This second version takes into account Evgeniy's review and makes sure inet_twsk_put() is called outside of locked sections.
