inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket lists

2013-03-19T14:28:36+00:00

This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash
table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat
arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with
empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should
just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu.

If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed.
This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish
between the different users of inet_fragment.c.

I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path,
because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

tcp: dont handle MTU reduction on LISTEN socket

2013-03-18T17:31:28+00:00

When an ICMP ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED (or ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG) message finds a
LISTEN socket, and this socket is currently owned by the user, we
set TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED flag in listener tsq_flags.

This is bad because if we clone the parent before it had a chance to
clear the flag, the child inherits the tsq_flags value, and next
tcp_release_cb() on the child will decrement sk_refcnt.

Result is that we might free a live TCP socket, as reported by
Dormando.

IPv4: Attempt to release TCP socket in state 1

Fix this issue by testing sk_state against TCP_LISTEN early, so that we
set TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED on appropriate sockets (not a LISTEN one)

This bug was introduced in commit 563d34d05786
(tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indications)

Revert "ip_gre: make ipgre_tunnel_xmit() not parse network header as IP unconditionally"

2013-03-17T03:00:41+00:00

This reverts commit 412ed94744d16806fbec3bd250fd94e71cde5a1f.

The commit is wrong as tiph points to the outer IPv4 header which is
installed at ipgre_header() and not the inner one which is protocol dependant.

This commit broke succesfully opennhrp which use PF_PACKET socket with
ETH_P_NHRP protocol. Additionally ssl_addr is set to the link-layer
IPv4 address. This address is written by ipgre_header() to the skb
earlier, and this is the IPv4 header tiph should point to - regardless
of the inner protocol payload.

tcp: fix skb_availroom()

2013-03-14T15:49:45+00:00

Chrome OS team reported a crash on a Pixel ChromeBook in TCP stack :

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=182056

commit a21d45726acac (tcp: avoid order-1 allocations on wifi and tx
path) did a poor choice adding an 'avail_size' field to skb, while
what we really needed was a 'reserved_tailroom' one.

It would have avoided commit 22b4a4f22da (tcp: fix retransmit of
partially acked frames) and this commit.

Crash occurs because skb_split() is not aware of the 'avail_size'
management (and should not be aware)

net/ipv4: Ensure that location of timestamp option is stored

2013-03-12T09:35:39+00:00

This is needed in order to detect if the timestamp option appears
more than once in a packet, to remove the option if the packet is
fragmented, etc. My previous change neglected to store the option
location when the router addresses were prespecified and Pointer >
Length. But now the option location is also stored when Flag is an
unrecognized value, to ensure these option handling behaviors are
still performed.

Fix: sparse warning in inet_csk_prepare_forced_close

2013-03-07T21:31:29+00:00

In e337e24d66 (inet: Fix kmemleak in tcp_v4/6_syn_recv_sock and
dccp_v4/6_request_recv_sock) I introduced the function
inet_csk_prepare_forced_close, which does a call to bh_unlock_sock().
This produces a sparse-warning.

This patch adds the missing __releases.

net/ipv4: Timestamp option cannot overflow with prespecified addresses

2013-03-06T07:47:06+00:00

When a router forwards a packet that contains the IPv4 timestamp option,
if there is no space left in the option for the router to add its own
timestamp, then the router increments the Overflow value in the option.

However, if the addresses of the routers are prespecified in the option,
then the overflow condition cannot happen: the option is structured so
that each prespecified router has a place to write its timestamp. Other
routers do not add a timestamp, so there will never be a lack of space.

This fix ensures that the Overflow value in the IPv4 timestamp option is
not incremented when the addresses of the routers are prespecified, even
if the Pointer value is greater than the Length value.

We should not update ts_recent and call tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts() both
before and after going to step5. That wastes CPU and double-counts the
receiver-side RTT sample.

ipv[4|6]: correct dropwatch false positive in local_deliver_finish

2013-03-01T20:56:29+00:00

I had a report recently of a user trying to use dropwatch to localise some frame
loss, and they were getting false positives.  Turned out they were using a user
space SCTP stack that used raw sockets to grab frames.  When we don't have a
registered protocol for a given packet, we record it as a drop, even if a raw
socket receieves the frame.  We should only record the drop in the event a raw
socket doesnt exist to receive the frames
