2007-07-10[TCPv4]: Improve BH latency in /proc/net/tcpHerbert Xu1-14/+5
Currently the code for /proc/net/tcp disable BH while iterating over the entire established hash table. Even though we call cond_resched_softirq for each entry, we still won't process softirq's as regularly as we would otherwise do which results in poor performance when the system is loaded near capacity. This anomaly comes from the 2.4 code where this was all in a single function and the local_bh_disable might have made sense as a small optimisation. The cost of each local_bh_disable is so small when compared against the increased latency in keeping it disabled over a large but mostly empty TCP established hash table that we should just move it to the individual read_lock/read_unlock calls as we do in inet_diag.

2007-06-15[TCP]: Congestion control API RTT sampling fixIlpo Järvinen5-2/+16
Commit 164891aadf1721fca4dce473bb0e0998181537c6 broke RTT sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps could be fed to them without providing any way for them to identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

Without FRTO, the tcp_try_to_open is never called with lost_out > 0 (see tcp_time_to_recover).

2007-06-08[CIPSO]: Fix several unaligned kernel accesses in the CIPSO engine.Paul Moore1-10/+13
IPv4 options are not very well aligned within the packet and the format of a CIPSO option is even worse. The result is that the CIPSO engine in the kernel does a few unaligned accesses when parsing and validating incoming packets with CIPSO options attached which generate error messages on certain alignment sensitive platforms. This patch fixes this by marking these unaligned accesses with the get_unaliagned() macro.

2007-06-08[NetLabel]: consolidate the struct socket/sock handling to just struct sockPaul Moore1-33/+8
The current NetLabel code has some redundant APIs which allow both "struct socket" and "struct sock" types to be used; this may have made sense at some point but it is wasteful now. Remove the functions that operate on sockets and convert the callers. Not only does this make the code smaller and more consistent but it pushes the locking burden up to the caller which can be more intelligent about the locks. Also, perform the same conversion (socket to sock) on the SELinux/NetLabel glue code where it make sense.

2007-06-07[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: fix compat related crashDmitry Mishin1-18/+63
check_compat_entry_size_and_hooks iterates over the matches and calls compat_check_calc_match, which loads the match and calculates the compat offsets, but unlike the non-compat version, doesn't call ->checkentry yet. On error however it calls cleanup_matches, which in turn calls ->destroy, which can result in crashes if the destroy function (validly) expects to only get called after the checkentry function. Add a compat_release_match function that only drops the module reference on error and rename compat_check_calc_match to compat_find_calc_match to reflect the fact that it doesn't call the checkentry function.

2007-06-07[IPV4]: Restore old behaviour of default config valuesHerbert Xu2-15/+19
Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added (or rarely in ipmr). Therefore the default config values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default config values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

2007-06-07[IPV4]: Add default config support after inetdev_initHerbert Xu1-35/+98
Previously once inetdev_init has been called on a device any changes made to ipv4_devconf_dflt would have no effect on that device's configuration. This creates a problem since we have moved the point where inetdev_init is called from when an address is added to where the device is registered. This patch is the first half of a set that tries to mimic the old behaviour while still calling inetdev_init. It propagates any changes to ipv4_devconf_dflt to those devices that have not had the corresponding attribute set. The next patch will forcibly set all values at the point where inetdev_init was previously called. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-05-24[XFRM]: Allow packet drops during larval state resolution.David S. Miller1-1/+70
The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the -EAGAIN buisness we had before. Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules. We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in libc. With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default. This lays the framework to either: 1) Make this default at some point or... 2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of. The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved in a certain amount of time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-05-19[IPV4]: icmp: fix crash with sysctl_icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddrPatrick McHardy1-1/+4
When icmp_send is called on the local output path before the packet hits ip_output, skb->dev is not set, causing a crash when sysctl_icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr is set. This can happen with the netfilter REJECT target or IPsec tunnels. Let routing decide the ICMP source address in that case, since the packet is locally generated there is no inbound interface and the sysctl should not apply. The option actually seems to be unfixable broken, on the path after ip_output() skb->dev points to the outgoing device and we don't know the incoming device anymore, so its going to do the absolute wrong thing and pick the address of the outgoing interface.

Whenever reduction happens regardless of reason, CWR should be sent (forgetting to send it is not very fatal though). A better approach would be to queue CWR when one of the sending rate reducing responses (rate-halving one or this conservative response) is used already at RTO. Doing that would allow CWR to be sent along with the two new data segments that are sent during FRTO.
