net: handle NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD case also in napi_frags_finish()

2017-06-29T19:54:13+00:00

Recently I started seeing warnings about pages with refcount -1. The
problem was traced to packets being reused after their head was merged into
a GRO packet by skb_gro_receive(). While bisecting the issue pointed to
commit c21b48cc1bbf ("net: adjust skb->truesize in ___pskb_trim()") and
I have never seen it on a kernel with it reverted, I believe the real
problem appeared earlier when the option to merge head frag in GRO was
implemented.

Handling NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD state was only added to GRO_MERGED_FREE
branch of napi_skb_finish() so that if the driver uses napi_gro_frags()
and head is merged (which in my case happens after the skb_condense()
call added by the commit mentioned above), the skb is reused including the
head that has been merged. As a result, we release the page reference
twice and eventually end up with negative page refcount.

To fix the problem, handle NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD in napi_frags_finish()
the same way it's done in napi_skb_finish().

net: prevent sign extension in dev_get_stats()

2017-06-27T18:45:12+00:00

Similar to the fix provided by Dominik Heidler in commit
9b3dc0a17d73 ("l2tp: cast l2tp traffic counter to unsigned")
we need to take care of 32bit kernels in dev_get_stats().

When using atomic_long_read(), we add a 'long' to u64 and
might misinterpret high order bit, unless we cast to unsigned.

rtnetlink: add IFLA_GROUP to ifla_policy

2017-06-20T19:36:16+00:00

Network interface groups support added while ago, however
there is no IFLA_GROUP attribute description in policy
and netlink message size calculations until now.

Add IFLA_GROUP attribute to the policy.

net/core: remove explicit do_softirq() from busy_poll_stop()

2017-06-20T17:09:33+00:00

Since commit 217f69743681 ("net: busy-poll: allow preemption in
sk_busy_loop()") there is an explicit do_softirq() invocation after
local_bh_enable() has been invoked.
I don't understand why we need this because local_bh_enable() will
invoke do_softirq() once the softirq counter reached zero and we have
softirq-related work pending.

fib_rules: Resolve goto rules target on delete

2017-06-20T16:39:18+00:00

We should avoid marking goto rules unresolved when their
target is actually reachable after rule deletion.

Consolder following sample scenario:

  # ip -4 ru sh
  0:      from all lookup local
  32000:  from all goto 32100
  32100:  from all lookup main
  32100:  from all lookup default
  32766:  from all lookup main
  32767:  from all lookup default

  # ip -4 ru del pref 32100 table main
  # ip -4 ru sh
  0:      from all lookup local
  32000:  from all goto 32100 [unresolved]
  32100:  from all lookup default
  32766:  from all lookup main
  32767:  from all lookup default

After removal of first rule with preference 32100 we
mark all goto rules as unreachable, even when rule with
same preference as removed one still present.

Check if next rule with same preference is available
and make all rules with goto action pointing to it.

dev_ioctl: copy only the smaller struct iwreq for wext

2017-06-14T11:52:44+00:00

Unfortunately, struct iwreq isn't a proper subset of struct ifreq,
but is still handled by the same code path. Robert reported that
then applications may (randomly) fault if the struct iwreq they
pass happens to land within 8 bytes of the end of a mapping (the
struct is only 32 bytes, vs. struct ifreq's 40 bytes).

To fix this, pull out the code handling wireless extension ioctls
and copy only the smaller structure in this case.

This bug goes back a long time, I tracked that it was introduced
into mainline in 2.1.15, over 20 years ago!

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195869

net: rps: send out pending IPI's on CPU hotplug

2017-06-09T19:35:01+00:00

IPI's from the victim cpu are not handled in dev_cpu_callback.
So these pending IPI's would be sent to the remote cpu only when
NET_RX is scheduled on the victim cpu and since this trigger is
unpredictable it would result in packet latencies on the remote cpu.

This patch add support to send the pending ipi's of victim cpu.

Fix an intermittent pr_emerg warning about lo becoming free.

2017-06-09T16:27:28+00:00

It looks like this:

Message from syslogd@flamingo at Apr 26 00:45:00 ...
 kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 4

They seem to coincide with net namespace teardown.

The message is emitted by netdev_wait_allrefs().

Forced a kdump in netdev_run_todo, but found that the refcount on the lo
device was already 0 at the time we got to the panic.

Used bcc to check the blocking in netdev_run_todo.  The only places
where we're off cpu there are in the rcu_barrier() and msleep() calls.
That behavior is expected.  The msleep time coincides with the amount of
time we spend waiting for the refcount to reach zero; the rcu_barrier()
wait times are not excessive.

After looking through the list of callbacks that the netdevice notifiers
invoke in this path, it appears that the dst_dev_event is the most
interesting.  The dst_ifdown path places a hold on the loopback_dev as
part of releasing the dev associated with the original dst cache entry.
Most of our notifier callbacks are straight-forward, but this one a)
looks complex, and b) places a hold on the network interface in
question.

I constructed a new bcc script that watches various events in the
liftime of a dst cache entry.  Note that dst_ifdown will take a hold on
the loopback device until the invalidated dst entry gets freed.

net: Zero ifla_vf_info in rtnl_fill_vfinfo()

2017-06-08T14:58:02+00:00

Some of the structure's fields are not initialized by the
rtnetlink. If driver doesn't set those in ndo_get_vf_config(),
they'd leak memory to user.
