net: ipv4: ipmr_expire_timer causes crash when removing net namespace

2012-10-02T17:38:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit acbb219d5f53821b2d0080d047800410c0420ea1 ]

When tearing down a net namespace, ipv4 mr_table structures are freed
without first deactivating their timers. This can result in a crash in
run_timer_softirq.
This patch mimics the corresponding behaviour in ipv6.
Locking and synchronization seem to be adequate.
We are about to kfree mrt, so existing code should already make sure that
no other references to mrt are pending or can be created by incoming traffic.
The functions invoked here do not cause new references to mrt or other
race conditions to be created.
Invoking del_timer_sync guarantees that ipmr_expire_timer is inactive.
Both ipmr_expire_process (whose completion we may have to wait in
del_timer_sync) and mroute_clean_tables internally use mfc_unres_lock
or other synchronizations when needed, and they both only modify mrt.

Tested in Linux 3.4.8.

snmp: fix OutOctets counter to include forwarded datagrams

2012-06-07T21:50:56+00:00

RFC 4293 defines ipIfStatsOutOctets (similar definition for
ipSystemStatsOutOctets):

   The total number of octets in IP datagrams delivered to the lower
   layers for transmission.  Octets from datagrams counted in
   ipIfStatsOutTransmits MUST be counted here.

And ipIfStatsOutTransmits:

   The total number of IP datagrams that this entity supplied to the
   lower layers for transmission.  This includes datagrams generated
   locally and those forwarded by this entity.

Therefore, IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS must be incremented when incrementing
IPSTATS_MIB_OUTFORWDATAGRAMS.

IP_UPD_PO_STATS is not used since ipIfStatsOutRequests must not
include forwarded datagrams:

   The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-protocols
   (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission.  Note
   that this counter does not include any datagrams counted in
   ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams.

ipv4: Stop using NLA_PUT*().

These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error
prone and make code hard to audit.

net: Convert printks to pr_

2012-03-12T06:42:51+00:00

Use a more current kernel messaging style.

Convert a printk block to print_hex_dump.
Coalesce formats, align arguments.
Use %s, __func__ instead of embedding function names.

Some messages that were prefixed with _close are
now prefixed with _fini.  Some ah4 and esp messages
are now not prefixed with "ip ".

The intent of this patch is to later add something like
  #define pr_fmt(fmt) "IPv4: " fmt.
to standardize the output messages.

Text size is trivially reduced. (x86-32 allyesconfig)

$ size net/ipv4/built-in.o*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls

2012-01-12T20:26:56+00:00

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).

We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.

ipv4: remove useless codes in ipmr_device_event()

2011-11-29T23:32:33+00:00

Commit 7dc00c82 added a 'notify' parameter for vif_delete() to
distinguish whether to unregister the device.

When notify=1 means we does not need to unregister the device,
so calling unregister_netdevice_many is useless.

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.
