2008-10-07tcp: Fix tcp_hybla zero congestion window growth with small rho and large cwnd.Daniele Lacamera
Because of rounding, in certain conditions, i.e. when in congestion avoidance state rho is smaller than 1/128 of the current cwnd, TCP Hybla congestion control starves and the cwnd is kept constant forever. This patch forces an increment by one segment after #send_cwnd calls without increments(newreno behavior). Signed-off-by: Daniele Lacamera <root@danielinux.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-10-07net: Fix netdev_run_todo dead-lockHerbert Xu
Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances of the error unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free a reference to the device waited on by the first instance. The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait for the very ones that you've added and be done with it. There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock. This is exactly what the following patch does. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-10-07tcp: Fix possible double-ack w/ user dmaAli Saidi
From: Ali Saidi <saidi@engin.umich.edu> When TCP receive copy offload is enabled it's possible that tcp_rcv_established() will cause two acks to be sent for a single packet. In the case that a tcp_dma_early_copy() is successful, copied_early is set to true which causes tcp_cleanup_rbuf() to be called early which can send an ack. Further along in tcp_rcv_established(), __tcp_ack_snd_check() is called and will schedule a delayed ACK. If no packets are processed before the delayed ack timer expires the packet will be acked twice. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-10-07net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UPPatrick McHardy
Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN device down that is in promiscous mode: When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented a second time by the vlan_change_rx_flags() callback. The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags() is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP. Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the intended behaviour.

Since call to function sctp_sf_abort_violation() need paramter 'arg' with 'struct sctp_chunk' type, it will read the chunk type and chunk length from the chunk_hdr member of chunk. But call to sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() always with 'struct sctp_paramhdr' type's parameter, it will be passed to sctp_sf_abort_violation(). This may cause kernel panic. sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() |-- sctp_sf_abort_violation() |-- sctp_make_abort_violation() This patch fixed this problem.

2008-09-249p-trans_fd: fix trans_fd::p9_conn_destroy()Tejun Heo
p9_conn_destroy() first kills all current requests by calling p9_conn_cancel(), then waits for the request list to be cleared by waiting on p9_conn->equeue. After that, polling is stopped and the trans is destroyed. This sequence has a few problems. * Read and write works were never cancelled and the p9_conn can be destroyed while the works are running as r/w works remove requests from the list and dereference the p9_conn from them. * The list emptiness wait using p9_conn->equeue wouldn't trigger because p9_conn_cancel() always clears all the lists and the only way the wait can be triggered is to have another task to issue a request between the slim window between p9_conn_cancel() and the wait, which isn't safe under the current implementation with or without the wait. This patch fixes the problem by first stopping poll, which can schedule r/w works, first and cancle r/w works which guarantees that r/w works are not and will not run from that point and then calling p9_conn_cancel() and do the rest of destruction.

2008-09-23sys_paccept: disable paccept() until API design is resolvedMichael Kerrisk
The reasons for disabling paccept() are as follows: * The API is more complex than needed. There is AFAICS no demonstrated use case that the sigset argument of this syscall serves that couldn't equally be served by the use of pselect/ppoll/epoll_pwait + traditional accept(). Roland seems to concur with this opinion (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255). I have (more than once) asked Ulrich to explain otherwise (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723952/focus=731018), but he does not respond, so one is left to assume that he doesn't know of such a case. * The use of a sigset argument is not consistent with other I/O APIs that can block on a single file descriptor (e.g., read(), recv(), connect()). * The behavior of paccept() when interrupted by a signal is IMO strange: the kernel restarts the system call if SA_RESTART was set for the handler. I think that it should not do this -- that it should behave consistently with paccept()/ppoll()/epoll_pwait(), which never restart, regardless of SA_RESTART. The reasoning here is that the very purpose of paccept() is to wait for a connection or a signal, and that restarting in the latter case is probably never useful. (Note: Roland disagrees on this point, believing that rather paccept() should be consistent with accept() in its behavior wrt EINTR (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255).) I believe that instead, a simpler API, consistent with Ulrich's other recent additions, is preferable: accept4(int fd, struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *salen, ind flags); (This simpler API was originally proposed by Ulrich: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/92072) If this simpler API is added, then if we later decide that the sigset argument really is required, then a suitable bit in 'flags' could be added to indicate the presence of the sigset argument. At this point, I am hoping we either will get a counter-argument from Ulrich about why we really do need paccept()'s sigset argument, or that he will resubmit the original accept4() patch.

If INIT-ACK is received with SupportedExtensions parameter which indicates that the peer does not support AUTH, the packet will be silently ignore, and sctp_process_init() do cleanup all of the transports in the association. When T1-Init timer is expires, OOPS happen while we try to choose a different init transport. The solution is to only clean up the non-active transports, i.e the ones that the peer added. However, that introduces a problem with sctp_connectx(), because we don't mark the proper state for the transports provided by the user. So, we'll simply mark user-provided transports as ACTIVE. That will allow INIT retransmissions to work properly in the sctp_connectx() context and prevent the crash. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-09-12[Bluetooth] Fix regression from using default link policyMarcel Holtmann
To speed up the Simple Pairing connection setup, the support for the default link policy has been enabled. This is in contrast to settings the link policy on every connection setup. Using the default link policy is the preferred way since there is no need to dynamically change it for every connection. For backward compatibility reason and to support old userspace the HCISETLINKPOL ioctl has been switched over to using hci_request() to issue the HCI command for setting the default link policy instead of just storing it in the HCI device structure. However the hci_request() can only be issued when the device is brought up. If used on a device that is registered, but still down it will timeout and fail. This is problematic since the command is put on the TX queue and the Bluetooth core tries to submit it to hardware that is not ready yet. The timeout for these requests is 10 seconds and this causes a significant regression when setting up a new device. The userspace can perfectly handle a failure of the HCISETLINKPOL ioctl and will re-submit it later, but the 10 seconds delay causes a problem. So in case hci_request() is called on a device that is still down, just fail it with ENETDOWN to indicate what happens. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2008-09-09[Bluetooth] Reject L2CAP connections on an insecure ACL linkMarcel Holtmann
The Security Mode 4 of the Bluetooth 2.1 specification has strict authentication and encryption requirements. It is the initiators job to create a secure ACL link. However in case of malicious devices, the acceptor has to make sure that the ACL is encrypted before allowing any kind of L2CAP connection. The only exception here is the PSM 1 for the service discovery protocol, because that is allowed to run on an insecure ACL link. Previously it was enough to reject a L2CAP connection during the connection setup phase, but with Bluetooth 2.1 it is forbidden to do any L2CAP protocol exchange on an insecure link (except SDP). The new hci_conn_check_link_mode() function can be used to check the integrity of an ACL link. This functions also takes care of the cases where Security Mode 4 is disabled or one of the devices is based on an older specification. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-09-09[Bluetooth] Enforce correct authentication requirementsMarcel Holtmann
With the introduction of Security Mode 4 and Simple Pairing from the Bluetooth 2.1 specification it became mandatory that the initiator requires authentication and encryption before any L2CAP channel can be established. The only exception here is PSM 1 for the service discovery protocol (SDP). It is meant to be used without any encryption since it contains only public information. This is how Bluetooth 2.0 and before handle connections on PSM 1. For Bluetooth 2.1 devices the pairing procedure differentiates between no bonding, general bonding and dedicated bonding. The L2CAP layer wrongly uses always general bonding when creating new connections, but it should not do this for SDP connections. In this case the authentication requirement should be no bonding and the just-works model should be used, but in case of non-SDP connection it is required to use general bonding. If the new connection requires man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection, it also first wrongly creates an unauthenticated link key and then later on requests an upgrade to an authenticated link key to provide full MITM protection. With Simple Pairing the link key generation is an expensive operation (compared to Bluetooth 2.0 and before) and doing this twice during a connection setup causes a noticeable delay when establishing a new connection. This should be avoided to not regress from the expected Bluetooth 2.0 connection times. The authentication requirements are known up-front and so enforce them. To fulfill these requirements the hci_connect() function has been extended with an authentication requirement parameter that will be stored inside the connection information and can be retrieved by userspace at any time. This allows the correct IO capabilities exchange and results in the expected behavior. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-09-09[Bluetooth] Fix reference counting during ACL config stageMarcel Holtmann
The ACL config stage keeps holding a reference count on incoming connections when requesting the extended features. This results in keeping an ACL link up without any users. The problem here is that the Bluetooth specification doesn't define an ownership of the ACL link and thus it can happen that the implementation on the initiator side doesn't care about disconnecting unused links. In this case the acceptor needs to take care of this. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per second. He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2 and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface. In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts are specifying a hello timer interval of "0". The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1 second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to the namespace like for example in: inet_twdr_do_twkill_work -> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED); Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will: 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Acked-by: Denis V.
