<content type='text'>
While testing how linux behaves on SYNFLOOD attack on multiqueue device
(ixgbe), I found that SYNACK messages were dropped at Qdisc level
because we send them all on a single queue.

Obvious choice is to reflect incoming SYN packet @queue_mapping to
SYNACK packet.

Under stress, my machine could only send 25.000 SYNACK per second (for
200.000 incoming SYN per second). NIC : ixgbe with 16 rx/tx queues.

After patch, not a single SYNACK is dropped.

Another problem on SYNFLOOD/DDOS attack is the inetpeer cache getting
larger and larger, using lots of memory and cpu time.

tcp_v4_send_synack()
-&gt;inet_csk_route_req()
 -&gt;ip_route_output_flow()
  -&gt;rt_set_nexthop()
   -&gt;rt_init_metrics()
    -&gt;inet_getpeer( create = true)

This is a side effect of commit a4daad6b09230 (net: Pre-COW metrics for
TCP) added in 2.6.39

Possible solution :

Instruct inet_csk_route_req() to remove FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS

Pull networking changes from David S. Miller:

 1) Fix IPSEC header length calculation for transport mode in ESP.  The
    issue is whether to do the calculation before or after alignment.
    Fix from Benjamin Poirier.

 2) Fix regression in IPV6 IPSEC fragment length calculations, from Gao
    Feng.  This is another transport vs tunnel mode issue.

 3) Handle AF_UNSPEC connect()s properly in L2TP to avoid OOPSes.  Fix
    from James Chapman.

 4) Fix USB ASIX driver's reception of full sized VLAN packets, from
    Eric Dumazet.

 5) Allow drop monitor (and, more generically, all generic netlink
    protocols) to be automatically loaded as a module.  From Neil
    Horman.

Fix up trivial conflict in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
due to new entries added next to each other at the end. As usual.

<title>memcg: decrement static keys at real destroy time</title>

<id>3f134619393cb6c6dfab7890a617d0ceca6d05d7</id>
<content type='text'>
We call the destroy function when a cgroup starts to be removed, such as
by a rmdir event.

However, because of our reference counters, some objects are still
inflight.  Right now, we are decrementing the static_keys at destroy()
time, meaning that if we get rid of the last static_key reference, some
objects will still have charges, but the code to properly uncharge them
won't be run.

This becomes a problem specially if it is ever enabled again, because now
new charges will be added to the staled charges making keeping it pretty
much impossible.

We just need to be careful with the static branch activation: since there
is no particular preferred order of their activation, we need to make sure
that we only start using it after all call sites are active.  This is
achieved by having a per-memcg flag that is only updated after
static_key_slow_inc() returns.  At this time, we are sure all sites are
active.

This is made per-memcg, not global, for a reason: it also has the effect
of making socket accounting more consistent.  The first memcg to be
limited will trigger static_key() activation, therefore, accounting.  But
all the others will then be accounted no matter what.  After this patch,
only limited memcgs will have its sockets accounted.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: move enum sock_flag_bits into sock.h,
                            document enum sock_flag_bits,
                            convert memcg_proto_active() and memcg_proto_activated() to test_bit(),
                            redo tcp_update_limit() comment to 80 cols]

<title>xfrm: take net hdr len into account for esp payload size calculation</title>

<content type='text'>
Corrects the function that determines the esp payload size. The calculations
done in esp{4,6}_get_mtu() lead to overlength frames in transport mode for
certain mtu values and suboptimal frames for others.

According to what is done, mainly in esp{,6}_output() and tcp_mtu_to_mss(),
net_header_len must be taken into account before doing the alignment
calculation.

done in esp{4,6}_get_mtu() lead to overlength frames in transport mode for
certain mtu values and suboptimal frames for others.

According to what is done, mainly in esp{,6}_output() and tcp_mtu_to_mss(),
net_header_len must be taken into account before doing the alignment
calculation.

Pull more networking updates from David Miller:
 "Ok, everything from here on out will be bug fixes."

1) One final sync of wireless and bluetooth stuff from John Linville.
   These changes have all been in his tree for more than a week, and
   therefore have had the necessary -next exposure.  John was just away
   on a trip and didn't have a change to send the pull request until a
   day or two ago.

2) Put back some defines in user exposed header file areas that were
   removed during the tokenring purge.  From Stephen Hemminger and Paul
   Gortmaker.

3) A bug fix for UDP hash table allocation got lost in the pile due to
   one of those "you got it..  no I've got it.." situations.  :-)

   From Tim Bird.

4) SKB coalescing in TCP needs to have stricter checks, otherwise we'll
   try to coalesce overlapping frags and crash.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

5) RCU routing table lookups can race with free_fib_info(), causing
   crashes when we deref the device pointers in the route.  Fix by
   releasing the net device in the RCU callback.  From Yanmin Zhang.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (293 commits)
  tcp: take care of overlaps in tcp_try_coalesce()
  ipv4: fix the rcu race between free_fib_info and ip_route_output_slow
  mm: add a low limit to alloc_large_system_hash
  ipx: restore token ring define to include/linux/ipx.h
  if: restore token ring ARP type to header
  xen: do not disable netfront in dom0
  phy/micrel: Fix ID of KSZ9021
  mISDN: Add X-Tensions USB ISDN TA XC-525
  gianfar:don't add FCB length to hard_header_len

Sergio Correia reported following warning :

WARNING: at net/ipv4/tcp.c:1301 tcp_cleanup_rbuf+0x4f/0x110()

WARN(skb &amp;&amp; !before(tp-&gt;copied_seq, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;end_seq),

     tp-&gt;copied_seq, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;end_seq, tp-&gt;rcv_nxt);

It appears TCP coalescing, and more specifically commit b081f85c297
(net: implement tcp coalescing in tcp_queue_rcv()) should take care of
possible segment overlaps in receive queue. This was properly done in
the case of out_or_order_queue by the caller.

For example, segment at tail of queue have sequence 1000-2000, and we
add a segment with sequence 1500-2500.
This can happen in case of retransmits.

In this case, just don't do the coalescing.

<content type='text'>
UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also
uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash
tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory.

On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the
alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area.

As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can
issue a warning.

This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to
solve this problem.

We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table
allocation.

<content type='text'>
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be

Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
