ipv4: Fix ip-header identification for gso packets.

2013-03-26T17:50:05+00:00

ip-header id needs to be incremented even if IP_DF flag is set.
This behaviour was changed in commit 490ab08127cebc25e3a26
(IP_GRE: Fix IP-Identification).

Following patch fixes it so that identification is always
incremented.

tcp: undo spurious timeout after SACK reneging

2013-03-24T21:27:28+00:00

On SACK reneging the sender immediately retransmits and forces a
timeout but disables Eifel (undo). If the (buggy) receiver does not
drop any packet this can trigger a false slow-start retransmit storm
driven by the ACKs of the original packets. This can be detected with
undo and TCP timestamps.

tcp: preserve ACK clocking in TSO

2013-03-22T14:34:03+00:00

A long standing problem with TSO is the fact that tcp_tso_should_defer()
rearms the deferred timer, while it should not.

Current code leads to following bad bursty behavior :

udp: add encap_destroy callback

2013-03-20T16:10:38+00:00

Users of udp encapsulation currently have an encap_rcv callback which they can
use to hook into the udp receive path.

In situations where a encapsulation user allocates resources associated with a
udp encap socket, it may be convenient to be able to also hook the proto
.destroy operation.  For example, if an encap user holds a reference to the
udp socket, the destroy hook might be used to relinquish this reference.

This patch adds a socket destroy hook into udp, which is set and enabled
in the same way as the existing encap_rcv hook.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains 7 Netfilter/IPVS fixes for 3.9-rc, they are:

* Restrict IPv6 stateless NPT targets to the mangle table. Many users are
  complaining that this target does not work in the nat table, which is the
  wrong table for it, from Florian Westphal.

* Fix possible use before initialization in the netns init path of several
  conntrack protocol trackers (introduced recently while improving conntrack
  netns support), from Gao Feng.

* Fix incorrect initialization of copy_range in nfnetlink_queue, spotted
  by Eric Dumazet during the NFWS2013, patch from myself.

* Fix wrong calculation of next SCTP chunk in IPVS, from Julian Anastasov.

* Remove rcu_read_lock section in IPVS while calling ipv4_update_pmtu
  not required anymore after change introduced in 3.7, again from Julian.

* Fix SYN looping in IPVS state sync if the backup is used a real server
  in DR/TUN modes, this required a new /proc entry to disable the director
  function when acting as backup, also from Julian.

* Remove leftover IP_NF_QUEUE Kconfig after ip_queue removal, noted by
  Paul Bolle.

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)
