cred: simpler, 1D supplementary groups

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

Current supplementary groups code can massively overallocate memory and
is implemented in a way so that access to individual gid is done via 2D
array.

If number of gids is <= 32, memory allocation is more or less tolerable
(140/148 bytes).  But if it is not, code allocates full page (!)
regardless and, what's even more fun, doesn't reuse small 32-entry
array.

2D array means dependent shifts, loads and LEAs without possibility to
optimize them (gid is never known at compile time).

All of the above is unnecessary.  Switch to the usual
trailing-zero-len-array scheme.  Memory is allocated with
kmalloc/vmalloc() and only as much as needed.  Accesses become simpler
(LEA 8(gi,idx,4) or even without displacement).

Maximum number of gids is 65536 which translates to 256KB+8 bytes.  I
think kernel can handle such allocation.

On my usual desktop system with whole 9 (nine) aux groups, struct
group_info shrinks from 148 bytes to 44 bytes, yay!

Nice side effects:

 - "gi->gid[i]" is shorter than "GROUP_AT(gi, i)", less typing,

 - fix little mess in net/ipv4/ping.c
   should have been using GROUP_AT macro but this point becomes moot,

 - aux group allocation is persistent and should be accounted as such.

sock: enable timestamping using control messages

2016-04-04T19:50:30+00:00

Currently, SOL_TIMESTAMPING can only be enabled using setsockopt.
This is very costly when users want to sample writes to gather
tx timestamps.

Add support for enabling SO_TIMESTAMPING via control messages by
using tsflags added in `struct sockcm_cookie` (added in the previous
patches in this series) to set the tx_flags of the last skb created in
a sendmsg. With this patch, the timestamp recording bits in tx_flags
of the skbuff is overridden if SO_TIMESTAMPING is passed in a cmsg.

Please note that this is only effective for overriding the recording
timestamps flags. Users should enable timestamp reporting (e.g.,
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID) using
socket options and then should ask for SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_*
using control messages per sendmsg to sample timestamps for each
write.

ipv4: process socket-level control messages in IPv4

2016-04-04T19:50:30+00:00

Process socket-level control messages by invoking
__sock_cmsg_send in ip_cmsg_send for control messages on
the SOL_SOCKET layer.

This makes sure whenever ip_cmsg_send is called in udp, icmp,
and raw, we also process socket-level control messages.

Note that this commit interprets new control messages that
were ignored before. As such, this commit does not change
the behavior of IPv4 control messages.

ipv4: fix memory leaks in ip_cmsg_send() callers

2016-02-13T10:57:39+00:00

Dmitry reported memory leaks of IP options allocated in
ip_cmsg_send() when/if this function returns an error.

Callers are responsible for the freeing.

Many thanks to Dmitry for the report and diagnostic.

sock: struct proto hash function may error

2016-02-11T08:54:14+00:00

In order to support fast reuseport lookups in TCP, the hash function
defined in struct proto must be capable of returning an error code.
This patch changes the function signature of all related hash functions
to return an integer and handles or propagates this return value at
all call sites.

ipv6: Nonlocal bind

2015-07-10T04:09:10+00:00

Add support to allow non-local binds similar to how this was done for IPv4.
Non-local binds are very useful in emulating the Internet in a box, etc.

This add the ip_nonlocal_bind sysctl under ipv6.

Testing:

Set up nonlocal binding and receive routing on a host, e.g.:

ip -6 rule add from ::/0 iif eth0 lookup 200
ip -6 route add local 2001:0:0:1::/64 dev lo proto kernel scope host table 200
sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind=1

Set up routing to 2001:0:0:1::/64 on peer to go to first host

ping6 -I 2001:0:0:1::1 peer-address -- to verify

ipv4: Missing sk_nulls_node_init() in ping_unhash().

2015-05-02T02:02:47+00:00

If we don't do that, then the poison value is left in the ->pprev
backlink.

This can cause crashes if we do a disconnect, followed by a connect().
