ipv6: use a stronger hash for tcp

2013-02-28T14:32:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 08dcdbf6a7b9d14c2302c5bd0c5390ddf122f664 ]

It looks like its possible to open thousands of TCP IPv6
sessions on a server, all landing in a single slot of TCP hash
table. Incoming packets have to lookup sockets in a very
long list.

We should hash all bits from foreign IPv6 addresses, using
a salt and hash mix, not a simple XOR.

inet6_ehashfn() can also separately use the ports, instead
of xoring them.

net: bind() fix error return on wrong address family

2011-07-05T04:37:41+00:00

Hi,

Reinhard Max also pointed out that the error should EAFNOSUPPORT according
to POSIX.

The Linux manpages have it as EINVAL, some other OSes (Minix, HPUX, perhaps BSD) use
EAFNOSUPPORT. Windows uses WSAEFAULT according to MSDN.

Other protocols error values in their af bind() methods in current mainline git as far
as a brief look shows:
	EAFNOSUPPORT: atm, appletalk, l2tp, llc, phonet, rxrpc
	EINVAL: ax25, bluetooth, decnet, econet, ieee802154, iucv, netlink, netrom, packet, rds, rose, unix, x25,
	No check?: can/raw, ipv6/raw, irda, l2tp/l2tp_ip

Ciao, Marcus

OK, here is the net-2.6 based one then, thanks !

[PATCH v2] net: rfs: enable RFS before first data packet is received

First packet received on a passive tcp flow is not correctly RFS
steered.

One sock_rps_record_flow() call is missing in inet_accept()

But before that, we also must record rxhash when child socket is setup.

net/ipv4: Check for mistakenly passed in non-IPv4 address

net: ipv4: add IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind

2011-05-13T20:08:13+00:00

This patch adds IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind.  It makes it possible to send
ICMP_ECHO messages and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages
without any special privileges.  In other words, the patch makes it
possible to implement setuid-less and CAP_NET_RAW-less /bin/ping.  In
order not to increase the kernel's attack surface, the new functionality
is disabled by default, but is enabled at bootup by supporting Linux
distributions, optionally with restriction to a group or a group range
(see below).

Similar functionality is implemented in Mac OS X:
http://www.manpagez.com/man/4/icmp/

A new ping socket is created with

    socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, PROT_ICMP)

Message identifiers (octets 4-5 of ICMP header) are interpreted as local
ports. Addresses are stored in struct sockaddr_in. No port numbers are
reserved for privileged processes, port 0 is reserved for API ("let the
kernel pick a free number"). There is no notion of remote ports, remote
port numbers provided by the user (e.g. in connect()) are ignored.

Data sent and received include ICMP headers. This is deliberate to:
1) Avoid the need to transport headers values like sequence numbers by
other means.
2) Make it easier to port existing programs using raw sockets.

ICMP headers given to send() are checked and sanitized. The type must be
ICMP_ECHO and the code must be zero (future extensions might relax this,
see below). The id is set to the number (local port) of the socket, the
checksum is always recomputed.

ICMP reply packets received from the network are demultiplexed according
to their id's, and are returned by recv() without any modifications.
IP header information and ICMP errors of those packets may be obtained
via ancillary data (IP_RECVTTL, IP_RETOPTS, and IP_RECVERR). ICMP source
quenches and redirects are reported as fake errors via the error queue
(IP_RECVERR); the next hop address for redirects is saved to ee_info (in
network order).

socket(2) is restricted to the group range specified in
"/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range".  It is "1 0" by default, meaning
that nobody (not even root) may create ping sockets.  Setting it to "100
100" would grant permissions to the single group (to either make
/sbin/ping g+s and owned by this group or to grant permissions to the
"netadmins" group), "0 4294967295" would enable it for the world, "100
4294967295" would enable it for the users, but not daemons.

The existing code might be (in the unlikely case anyone needs it)
extended rather easily to handle other similar pairs of ICMP messages
(Timestamp/Reply, Information Request/Reply, Address Mask Request/Reply
etc.).

Userspace ping util & patch for it:
http://openwall.info/wiki/people/segoon/ping

For Openwall GNU/*/Linux it was the last step on the road to the
setuid-less distro.  A revision of this patch (for RHEL5/OpenVZ kernels)
is in use in Owl-current, such as in the 2011/03/12 LiveCD ISOs:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/openwall/Owl/current/iso/

Initially this functionality was written by Pavel Kankovsky for
Linux 2.4.32, but unfortunately it was never made public.

All ping options (-b, -p, -Q, -R, -s, -t, -T, -M, -I), are tested with
the patch.

PATCH v3:
    - switched to flowi4.
    - minor changes to be consistent with raw sockets code.

PATCH v2:
    - changed ping_debug() to pr_debug().
    - removed CONFIG_IP_PING.
    - removed ping_seq_fops.owner field (unused for procfs).
    - switched to proc_net_fops_create().
    - switched to %pK in seq_printf().

PATCH v1:
    - fixed checksumming bug.
    - CAP_NET_RAW may not create icmp sockets anymore.

RFC v2:
    - minor cleanups.
    - introduced sysctl'able group range to restrict socket(2).

ipv4: Use cork flow in inet_sk_{reselect_saddr,rebuild_header}()

2011-05-08T21:05:13+00:00

These two functions must be invoked only when the socket is locked
(because socket identity modifications are made non-atomically).

Therefore we can use the cork flow for output route lookups.

inet: add RCU protection to inet->opt

2011-04-28T20:16:35+00:00

We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options

Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and
ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options),
without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt.

Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us.

Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt).

Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when
necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying.

We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in
skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new
ip_options_rcu structure.

ipv4: Sanitize and simplify ip_route_{connect,newports}()

2011-04-27T20:59:04+00:00

These functions are used together as a unit for route resolution
during connect().  They address the chicken-and-egg problem that
exists when ports need to be allocated during connect() processing,
yet such port allocations require addressing information from the
routing code.

It's currently more heavy handed than it needs to be, and in
particular we allocate and initialize a flow object twice.

Let the callers provide the on-stack flow object.  That way we only
need to initialize it once in the ip_route_connect() call.

Later, if ip_route_newports() needs to do anything, it re-uses that
flow object as-is except for the ports which it updates before the
route re-lookup.

Also, describe why this set of facilities are needed and how it works
in a big comment.
