libceph: fix protocol feature mismatch failure path

2012-12-28T02:27:04+00:00

We should not set con->state to CLOSED here; that happens in
ceph_fault() in the caller, where it first asserts that the state
is not yet CLOSED.  Avoids a BUG when the features don't match.

Since the fail_protocol() has become a trivial wrapper, replace
calls to it with direct calls to reset_connection().

libceph: WARN, don't BUG on unexpected connection states

2012-12-28T02:27:04+00:00

A number of assertions in the ceph messenger are implemented with
BUG_ON(), killing the system if connection's state doesn't match
what's expected.  At this point our state model is (evidently) not
well understood enough for these assertions to trigger a BUG().
Convert all BUG_ON(con->state...) calls to be WARN_ON(con->state...)
so we learn about these issues without killing the machine.

We now recognize that a connection fault can occur due to a socket
closure at any time, regardless of the state of the connection.  So
there is really nothing we can assert about the state of the
connection at that point so eliminate that assertion.

libceph: always reset osds when kicking

2012-12-28T02:27:04+00:00

When ceph_osdc_handle_map() is called to process a new osd map,
kick_requests() is called to ensure all affected requests are
updated if necessary to reflect changes in the osd map.  This
happens in two cases:  whenever an incremental map update is
processed; and when a full map update (or the last one if there is
more than one) gets processed.

In the former case, the kick_requests() call is followed immediately
by a call to reset_changed_osds() to ensure any connections to osds
affected by the map change are reset.  But for full map updates
this isn't done.

Both cases should be doing this osd reset.

Rather than duplicating the reset_changed_osds() call, move it into
the end of kick_requests().

libceph: move linger requests sooner in kick_requests()

2012-12-28T02:27:04+00:00

The kick_requests() function is called by ceph_osdc_handle_map()
when an osd map change has been indicated.  Its purpose is to
re-queue any request whose target osd is different from what it
was when it was originally sent.

It is structured as two loops, one for incomplete but registered
requests, and a second for handling completed linger requests.
As a special case, in the first loop if a request marked to linger
has not yet completed, it is moved from the request list to the
linger list.  This is as a quick and dirty way to have the second
loop handle sending the request along with all the other linger
requests.

Because of the way it's done now, however, this quick and dirty
solution can result in these incomplete linger requests never
getting re-sent as desired.  The problem lies in the fact that
the second loop only arranges for a linger request to be sent
if it appears its target osd has changed.  This is the proper
handling for *completed* linger requests (it avoids issuing
the same linger request twice to the same osd).

But although the linger requests added to the list in the first loop
may have been sent, they have not yet completed, so they need to be
re-sent regardless of whether their target osd has changed.

The first required fix is we need to avoid calling __map_request()
on any incomplete linger request.  Otherwise the subsequent
__map_request() call in the second loop will find the target osd
has not changed and will therefore not re-send the request.

Second, we need to be sure that a sent but incomplete linger request
gets re-sent.  If the target osd is the same with the new osd map as
it was when the request was originally sent, this won't happen.
This can be fixed through careful handling when we move these
requests from the request list to the linger list, by unregistering
the request *before* it is registered as a linger request.  This
works because a side-effect of unregistering the request is to make
the request's r_osd pointer be NULL, and *that* will ensure the
second loop actually re-sends the linger request.

Processing of such a request is done at that point, so continue with
the next one once it's been moved.

ipv6/ip6_gre: set transport header correctly

2012-12-26T23:19:56+00:00

ip6gre_xmit2() incorrectly sets transport header to inner payload
instead of GRE header. It seems copy-and-pasted from ipip.c.
Set transport header to gre header.
(In ipip case the transport header is the inner ip header, so that's
correct.)

Found by inspection. In practice the incorrect transport header
doesn't matter because the skb usually is sent to another net_device
or socket, so the transport header isn't referenced.

tcp: should drop incoming frames without ACK flag set

2012-12-26T23:08:55+00:00

In commit 96e0bf4b5193d (tcp: Discard segments that ack data not yet
sent) John Dykstra enforced a check against ack sequences.

In commit 354e4aa391ed5 (tcp: RFC 5961 5.2 Blind Data Injection Attack
Mitigation) I added more safety tests.

But we missed fact that these tests are not performed if ACK bit is
not set.

RFC 793 3.9 mandates TCP should drop a frame without ACK flag set.

" fifth check the ACK field,
      if the ACK bit is off drop the segment and return"

Not doing so permits an attacker to only guess an acceptable sequence
number, evading stronger checks.

Many thanks to Zhiyun Qian for bringing this issue to our attention.
