net: check net.core.somaxconn sysctl values

2013-08-02T22:18:53+00:00

It's possible to assign an invalid value to the net.core.somaxconn
sysctl variable, because there is no checks at all.

The sk_max_ack_backlog field of the sock structure is defined as
unsigned short. Therefore, the backlog argument in inet_listen()
shouldn't exceed USHRT_MAX. The backlog argument in the listen() syscall
is truncated to the somaxconn value. So, the somaxconn value shouldn't
exceed 65535 (USHRT_MAX).
Also, negative values of somaxconn are meaningless.

before:
$ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256
net.core.somaxconn = 256
$ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536
net.core.somaxconn = 65536
$ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100
net.core.somaxconn = -100

after:
$ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256
net.core.somaxconn = 256
$ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536
error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn"
$ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100
error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn"

Based on a prior patch from Changli Gao.

net: fix comment above build_skb()

2013-07-25T00:59:07+00:00

build_skb() specifies that the data parameter must come from a kmalloc'd
area, this is only true if frag_size equals 0, because then build_skb()
will use kzsize(data) to figure out the actual data size. Update the
comment to reflect that special condition.

 "A couple interesting SKB fragment handling fixes, plus the usual small
  bits here and there:

   1) Fix 64-bit divide build failure on 32-bit platforms in mlx5, from
      Tim Gardner.

   2) Get rid of a stupid reimplementation on "%*phC" in our sysfs MAC
      address printing helper.

   3) Fix NETIF_F_SG capability advertisement in hyperv driver, if the
      device can't do checksumming offloads then it shouldn't say it can
      do SG either.  From Haiyang Zhang.

   4) bgmac needs to depend on PHYLIB, from Hauke Mehrtens.

   5) Don't leak DMA mappings on mapping failures, from Neil Horman.

   6) We need to reset the transport header of SKBs in ipv4 before we
      attempt to perform early socket demux, just like ipv6 does.  From
      Eric Dumazet.

   7) Add missing locking on vxlan device removal, from Stephen
      Hemminger.

   8) xen-netfront has to make two passes over an SKB to prepare it for
      transfer.  One pass calculates the number of slots needed, the
      second massages the SKB and fills the slots.  Unfortunately, the
      first pass doesn't calculate the number of slots properly so we
      can end up trying to build a MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 SKB which doesn't
      work out so well.  Fix from Jan Beulich with help and discussion
      with several others.

   9) Fix a similar problem in tun and macvtap, which have to split up
      scatter-gather elements at PAGE_SIZE boundaries.  Don't do
      zerocopy if it would result in a > MAX_SKB_FRAGS skb.  Fixes from
      Jason Wang.

  10) On receive, once we've decoded the VLAN state completely, clear
      skb->vlan_tci.  Otherwise demuxed tunnels underneath can trigger
      the VLAN code again, corrupting the packet.  Fix from Eric
      Dumazet"

vlan: mask vlan prio bits

2013-07-18T20:05:23+00:00

In commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e
("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols")
Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST
if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this
particular id.

But we also have a problem if prio bits are set.

Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a
vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device,
because skb->vlan_tci is set.

Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000)
being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address :

16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 >
9f94:4d95:2001:67c:29f4::: ICMP6, unknown icmp6 type (0), length 64
       0x0000:  0000 0029 8000 c7c3 7103 0001 a0ae e651
       0x0010:  0000 0000 ccce 0b00 0000 0000 1011 1213
       0x0020:  1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223
       0x0030:  2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233

It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now.

We can probably do better in future kernels :
vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of
a per vlan_dev one.

For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

net: delete __cpuinit usage from all net files

2013-07-14T23:36:58+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the net/* uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

gso: Update tunnel segmentation to support Tx checksum offload

2013-07-11T19:18:49+00:00

This change makes it so that the GRE and VXLAN tunnels can make use of Tx
checksum offload support provided by some drivers via the hw_enc_features.
Without this fix enabling GSO means sacrificing Tx checksum offload and
this actually leads to a performance regression as shown below:

            Utilization
            Send
Throughput  local         GSO
10^6bits/s  % S           state
  6276.51   8.39          enabled
  7123.52   8.42          disabled

To resolve this it was necessary to address two items.  First
netif_skb_features needed to be updated so that it would correctly handle
the Trans Ether Bridging protocol without impacting the need to check for
Q-in-Q tagging.  To do this it was necessary to update harmonize_features
so that it used skb_network_protocol instead of just using the outer
protocol.

Second it was necessary to update the GRE and UDP tunnel segmentation
offloads so that they would reset the encapsulation bit and inner header
offsets after the offload was complete.

As a result of this change I have seen the following results on a interface
with Tx checksum enabled for encapsulated frames:

            Utilization
            Send
Throughput  local         GSO
10^6bits/s  % S           state
  7123.52   8.42          disabled
  8321.75   5.43          enabled

v2: Instead of replacing refrence to skb->protocol with
    skb_network_protocol just replace the protocol reference in
    harmonize_features to allow for double VLAN tag checks.
