2013-10-06T20:50:14+00:00

pkt_sched: fq: rate limiting improvements

2013-10-01T17:00:38+00:00

FQ rate limiting suffers from two problems, reported
by Steinar :

1) FQ enforces a delay when flow quantum is exhausted in order
to reduce cpu overhead. But if packets are small, current
delay computation is slightly wrong, and observed rates can
be too high.

Steinar had this problem because he disabled TSO and GSO,
and default FQ quantum is 2*1514.

(Of course, I wish recent TSO auto sizing changes will help
to not having to disable TSO in the first place)

2) maxrate was not used for forwarded flows (skbs not attached
to a socket)

Tested:

tc qdisc add dev eth0 root est 1sec 4sec fq maxrate 8Mbit
netperf -H lpq84 -l 1000 &
sleep 10 ; tc -s qdisc show dev eth0

ip6tnl: allow to use rtnl ops on fb tunnel

2013-10-01T16:55:53+00:00

rtnl ops where introduced by c075b13098b3 ("ip6tnl: advertise tunnel param via
rtnl"), but I forget to assign rtnl ops to fb tunnels.

Now that it is done, we must remove the explicit call to
unregister_netdevice_queue(), because  the fallback tunnel is added to the queue
in ip6_tnl_destroy_tunnels() when checking rtnl_link_ops of all netdevices (this
is valid since commit 0bd8762824e7 ("ip6tnl: add x-netns support")).

ip_tunnel: Remove double unregister of the fallback device

2013-10-01T16:42:16+00:00

When queueing the netdevices for removal, we queue the
fallback device twice in ip_tunnel_destroy(). The first
time when we queue all netdevices in the namespace and
then again explicitly. Fix this by removing the explicit
queueing of the fallback device.

Bug was introduced when network namespace support was added
with commit 6c742e714d8 ("ipip: add x-netns support").

ip_tunnel_core: Change __skb_push back to skb_push

2013-10-01T16:42:16+00:00

Git commit 0e6fbc5b ("ip_tunnels: extend iptunnel_xmit()")
moved the IP header installation to iptunnel_xmit() and
changed skb_push() to __skb_push(). This makes possible
bugs hard to track down, so change it back to skb_push().

ip_tunnel: Add fallback tunnels to the hash lists

2013-10-01T16:42:16+00:00

Currently we can not update the tunnel parameters of
the fallback tunnels because we don't find them in the
hash lists. Fix this by adding them on initialization.

ip_tunnel: Fix a memory corruption in ip_tunnel_xmit

2013-10-01T16:42:16+00:00

We might extend the used aera of a skb beyond the total
headroom when we install the ipip header. Fix this by
calling skb_cow_head() unconditionally.

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net
tree, they are:

* Fix BUG_ON splat due to malformed TCP packets seen by synproxy, from
  Patrick McHardy.

* Fix possible weight overflow in lblc and lblcr schedulers due to
  32-bits arithmetics, from Simon Kirby.

* Fix possible memory access race in the lblc and lblcr schedulers,
  introduced when it was converted to use RCU, two patches from
  Julian Anastasov.

* Fix hard dependency on CPU 0 when reading per-cpu stats in the
  rate estimator, from Julian Anastasov.

* Fix race that may lead to object use after release, when invoking
  ipvsadm -C && ipvsadm -R, introduced when adding RCU, from Julian
  Anastasov.
