2015-10-08act_mirred: clear sender cpu before sending to txWANG Cong1-0/+1
Similar to commit c29390c6dfee ("xps: must clear sender_cpu before forwarding") the skb->sender_cpu needs to be cleared when moving from Rx Tx, otherwise kernel could crash.

2015-10-05act_mirred: fix a race condition on mirred_listWANG Cong1-1/+10
After commit 1ce87720d456 ("net: sched: make cls_u32 lockless") we began to release tc actions in a RCU callback. However, mirred action relies on RTNL lock to protect the global mirred_list, therefore we could have a race condition between RCU callback and netdevice event, which caused a list corruption as reported by Vinson. Instead of relying on RTNL lock, introduce a spinlock to protect this list. Note, in non-bind case, it is still called with RTNL lock, therefore should disable BH too.

2015-05-13net: sched: use counter to break reclassify loopsFlorian Westphal1-1/+1
Seems all we want here is to avoid endless 'goto reclassify' loop. tc_classify_compat even resets this counter when something other than TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY is returned, so this skb-counter doesn't break hypothetical loops induced by something other than perpetual TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY return values. skb_act_clone is now identical to skb_clone, so just use that.

2015-04-17act_mirred: Fix bogus header when redirecting from VLANHerbert Xu1-1/+1
When you redirect a VLAN device to any device, you end up with crap in af_packet on the xmit path because hard_header_len is not equal to skb->mac_len. So the redirected packet contains four extra bytes at the start which then gets interpreted as part of the MAC address. This patch fixes this by only pushing skb->mac_len. We also need to fix ifb because it tries to undo the pushing done by act_mirred.

Eric Dumazet pointed out that act_mirred needs to find the current net_ns, and struct net pointer is not provided in the call chain. His original patch made use of current->nsproxy->net_ns to find the network namespace, but this fails to work correctly for userspace code that makes use of netlink sockets in different network namespaces. Instead, pass the "struct net *" down along the call chain to where it is needed.

2012-08-16act_mirred: do not drop packets when fails to mirror itJason Wang1-6/+5
We drop packet unconditionally when we fail to mirror it. This is not intended in some cases. Consdier for kvm guest, we may mirror the traffic of the bridge to a tap device used by a VM. When kernel fails to mirror the packet in conditions such as when qemu crashes or stop polling the tap, it's hard for the management software to detect such condition and clean the the mirroring before. This would lead all packets to the bridge to be dropped and break the netowrk of other virtual machines. To solve the issue, the patch does not drop packets when kernel fails to mirror it, and only drop the redirected packets.

This fixes hang when target device of mirred packet classifier action is removed. If a mirror or redirection action is configured to cause packets to go to another device, the classifier holds a ref count, but was assuming the adminstrator cleaned up all redirections before removing. The fix is to add a notifier and cleanup during unregister. The new list is implicitly protected by RTNL mutex because it is held during filter add/delete as well as notifier.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman1-1/+2
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.
