Remove DECnet support from kernel

2023-06-21T13:44:10+00:00

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream.

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

ipv4: convert fib_num_tclassid_users to atomic_t

2021-12-08T08:01:12+00:00

commit 213f5f8f31f10aa1e83187ae20fb7fa4e626b724 upstream.

Before commit faa041a40b9f ("ipv4: Create cleanup helper for fib_nh")
changes to net->ipv4.fib_num_tclassid_users were protected by RTNL.

After the change, this is no longer the case, as free_fib_info_rcu()
runs after rcu grace period, without rtnl being held.

net: xfrm: Localize sequence counter per network namespace

2021-04-14T06:24:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit e88add19f68191448427a6e4eb059664650a837f ]

A sequence counter write section must be serialized or its internal
state can get corrupted. The "xfrm_state_hash_generation" seqcount is
global, but its write serialization lock (net->xfrm.xfrm_state_lock) is
instantiated per network namespace. The write protection is thus
insufficient.

To provide full protection, localize the sequence counter per network
namespace instead. This should be safe as both the seqcount read and
write sections access data exclusively within the network namespace. It
also lays the foundation for transforming "xfrm_state_hash_generation"
data type from seqcount_t to seqcount_LOCKNAME_t in further commits.

netfilter: nf_tables: autoload modules from the abort path

2020-01-29T15:45:33+00:00

commit eb014de4fd418de1a277913cba244e47274fe392 upstream.

This patch introduces a list of pending module requests. This new module
list is composed of nft_module_request objects that contain the module
name and one status field that tells if the module has been already
loaded (the 'done' field).

In the first pass, from the preparation phase, the netlink command finds
that a module is missing on this list. Then, a module request is
allocated and added to this list and nft_request_module() returns
-EAGAIN. This triggers the abort path with the autoload parameter set on
from nfnetlink, request_module() is called and the module request enters
the 'done' state. Since the mutex is released when loading modules from
the abort phase, the module list is zapped so this is iteration occurs
over a local list. Therefore, the request_module() calls happen when
object lists are in consistent state (after fulling aborting the
transaction) and the commit list is empty.

On the second pass, the netlink command will find that it already tried
to load the module, so it does not request it again and
nft_request_module() returns 0. Then, there is a look up to find the
object that the command was missing. If the module was successfully
loaded, the command proceeds normally since it finds the missing object
in place, otherwise -ENOENT is reported to userspace.

This patch also updates nfnetlink to include the reason to enter the
abort phase, which is required for this new autoload module rationale.

can: netns: remove "can_" prefix from members struct netns_can

2019-09-04T11:29:14+00:00

This patch improves the code reability by removing the redundant "can_"
prefix from the members of struct netns_can (as the struct netns_can itself
is the member "can" of the struct net.)

The conversion is done with:

	sed -i \
		-e "s/struct can_dev_rcv_lists \*can_rx_alldev_list;/struct can_dev_rcv_lists *rx_alldev_list;/" \
		-e "s/spinlock_t can_rcvlists_lock;/spinlock_t rcvlists_lock;/" \

can: netns: give members of struct netns_can holding the statistics a sensible name

2019-09-04T11:29:13+00:00

This patch gives the members of the struct netns_can that are holding
the statistics a sensible name, by renaming struct netns_can::can_stats

struct netns_can::rcv_lists_stats.

The conversion is done with:

sctp: make ecn flag per netns and endpoint

2019-08-28T03:54:14+00:00

This patch is to add ecn flag for both netns_sctp and sctp_endpoint,
net->sctp.ecn_enable is set 1 by default, and ep->ecn_enable will
be initialized with net->sctp.ecn_enable.

asoc->peer.ecn_capable will be set during negotiation only when
ep->ecn_enable is set on both sides.

tcp: add new tcp_mtu_probe_floor sysctl

2019-08-09T20:03:30+00:00

The current implementation of TCP MTU probing can considerably
underestimate the MTU on lossy connections allowing the MSS to get down to
48. We have found that in almost all of these cases on our networks these
paths can handle much larger MTUs meaning the connections are being
artificially limited. Even though TCP MTU probing can raise the MSS back up
we have seen this not to be the case causing connections to be "stuck" with
an MSS of 48 when heavy loss is present.

Prior to pushing out this change we could not keep TCP MTU probing enabled
b/c of the above reasons. Now with a reasonble floor set we've had it
enabled for the past 6 months.

The new sysctl will still default to TCP_MIN_SND_MSS (48), but gives
administrators the ability to control the floor of MSS probing.
