The per-socket rate limit for 'challenge acks' was introduced in the context of limiting ack loops: commit f2b2c582 ("tcp: mitigate ACK loops for connections as tcp_sock") And I think it can be extended to rate limit all 'challenge acks' on a per-socket basis. Since we have the global tcp_challenge_ack_limit, this patch allows for tcp_challenge_ack_limit to be set to a large value and effectively rely on the per-socket limit, or set tcp_challenge_ack_limit to a lower value and still prevents a single connections from consuming the entire challenge ack quota. It further moves in the direction of eliminating the global limit at some point, as Eric Dumazet has suggested.

Willem de Bruijn says: ==================== limit sk_filter trim to payload Sockets can apply a filter to incoming packets to drop or trim them. Fix two codepaths that call skb_pull/__skb_pull after sk_filter without checking for packet length. Reading beyond skb->tail after trimming happens in more codepaths, but safety of reading in the linear segment is based on minimum allocation size (MAX_HEADER, GRO_MAX_HEAD, ..). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Dccp verifies packet integrity, including length, at initial rcv in dccp_invalid_packet, later pulls headers in dccp_enqueue_skb. A call to sk_filter in-between can cause __skb_pull to wrap skb->len. skb_copy_datagram_msg interprets this as a negative value, so (correctly) fails with EFAULT. The negative length is reported in ioctl SIOCINQ or possibly in a DCCP_WARN in dccp_close. Introduce an sk_receive_skb variant that caps how small a filter program can trim packets, and call this in dccp with the header length. Excessively trimmed packets are now processed normally and queued for reception as 0B payloads.

Sockets can have a filter program attached that drops or trims incoming packets based on the filter program return value. Rose requires data packets to have at least ROSE_MIN_LEN bytes. It verifies this on arrival in rose_route_frame and unconditionally pulls the bytes in rose_recvmsg. The filter can trim packets to below this value in-between, causing pull to fail, leaving the partial header at the time of skb_copy_datagram_msg. Place a lower bound on the size to which sk_filter may trim packets by introducing sk_filter_trim_cap and call this for rose packets.

Start all tx queues (including inactive ones) when opening the netdev. Stop all tx queues (including inactive ones) when closing the netdev. This is a workaround for the tx timeout watchdog false alarm issue in which the netdev watchdog is polling all the tx queues which may include inactive queues and thus once lowering the real tx queues number (ethtool -L) it will generate tx timeout watchdog false alarms.

First patch was cooked after chasing crashes with invalid resources passed to the driver. Second patch was cooked after seeing that an interface configured with IP 192.168.2.2 was sending ARP packets for 192.168.0.0, no wonder why it could not work. I don't have access to any other platform using an ethoc interface so it could be good to some testing on Xtensa for instance.

The clash resolution is not easy to apply if the NAT table is registered. Even if no NAT rules are installed, the nul-binding ensures that a unique tuple is used, thus, the packet that loses race gets a different source port number, as described by: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=146818011604484&w=2 Clash resolution with NAT is also problematic if addresses/port range ports are used since the conntrack that wins race may describe a different mangling that we may have earlier applied to the packet via nf_nat_setup_info().

Jon Paul Maloy authored
In test situations with many nodes and a heavily stressed system we have observed that the transmission broadcast link may fail due to an excessive number of retransmissions of the same packet. In such situations we need to reset all unicast links to all peers, in order to reset and re-synchronize the broadcast link. In this commit, we add a new function tipc_bearer_reset_all() to be used in such situations. The function scans across all bearers and resets all their pertaining links.

After a new receiver peer has been added to the broadcast transmission link, we allow immediate transmission of new broadcast packets, trusting that the new peer will not accept the packets until it has received the previously sent unicast broadcast initialiation message. In the same way, the sender must not accept any acknowledges until it has itself received the broadcast initialization from the peer, as well as confirmation of the reception of its own initialization message. Furthermore, when a receiver peer goes down, the sender has to produce the missing acknowledges from the lost peer locally, in order ensure correct release of the buffers that were expected to be acknowledged by the said peer. In a highly stressed system we have observed that contact with a peer may come up and be lost before the above mentioned broadcast initial- ization and confirmation have been received. This leads to the locally produced acknowledges being rejected, and the non-acknowledged buffers to linger in the broadcast link transmission queue until it fills up and the link goes into permanent congestion. In this commit, we remedy this by temporarily setting the corresponding broadcast receive link state to ESTABLISHED and the 'bc_peer_is_up' state to true before we issue the local acknowledges. This ensures that those acknowledges will always be accepted. The mentioned state values are restored immediately afterwards when the link is reset.

At first contact between two nodes, an endpoint might sometimes have time to send out a LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE packet before it has received the broadcast initialization packet from the peer, i.e., before it has received a valid broadcast packet number to add to the 'bc_ack' field of the protocol message. This means that the peer endpoint will receive a protocol packet with an invalid broadcast acknowledge value of 0. Under unlucky circumstances this may lead to the original, already received acknowledge value being overwritten, so that the whole broadcast link goes stale after a while. We fix this by delaying the setting of the link field 'bc_peer_is_up' until we know that the peer really has received our own broadcast initialization message. The latter is always sent out as the first unicast message on a link, and always with seqeunce number 1. Because of this, we only need to look for a non-zero unicast acknowledge value in the arriving STATE messages, and once that is confirmed we know we are safe and can set the mentioned field. Before this moment, we must ignore all broadcast acknowledges from the peer. Acked-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Sergei Trofimovich reported that pulse audio sends SCM_CREDENTIALS as a control message to TCP. Since __sock_cmsg_send does not support SCM_RIGHTS and SCM_CREDENTIALS, it returns an error and hence breaks pulse audio over TCP. SCM_RIGHTS and SCM_CREDENTIALS are sent on the SOL_SOCKET layer but they semantically belong to SOL_UNIX. Since all cmsg-processing functions including sock_cmsg_send ignore control messages of other layers, it is best to ignore SCM_RIGHTS and SCM_CREDENTIALS for consistency (and also for fixing pulse audio over TCP).

Yue Cao claims that current host rate limiting of challenge ACKS (RFC 5961) could leak enough information to allow a patient attacker to hijack TCP sessions. He will soon provide details in an academic paper. This patch increases the default limit from 100 to 1000, and adds some randomization so that the attacker can no longer hijack sessions without spending a considerable amount of probes. Based on initial analysis and patch from Linus. Note that we also have per socket rate limiting, so it is tempting to remove the host limit in the future. v2: randomize the count of challenge acks per second, not the period.

Matt reported that we have a NULL pointer dereference in ppp_pernet() from ppp_connect_channel(), i.e. pch->chan_net is NULL. This is due to that a parallel ppp_unregister_channel() could happen while we are in ppp_connect_channel(), during which pch->chan_net set to NULL. Since we need a reference to net per channel, it makes sense to sync the refcnt with the life time of the channel, therefore we should release this reference when we destroy it.

Commit aebea2ba ("net: mvneta: fix Tx interrupt delay") intended to set coalescing threshold to a value guaranteeing interrupt generation per each sent packet, so that buffers can be released with no delay. In fact setting threshold to '1' was wrong, because it causes interrupt every two packets. According to the documentation a reason behind it is following - interrupt occurs once sent buffers counter reaches a value, which is higher than one specified in MVNETA_TXQ_SIZE_REG(q). This behavior was confirmed during tests. Also when testing the SoC working as a NAS device, better performance was observed with int-per-packet, as it strongly depends on the fact that all transmitted packets are released immediately. This commit enables NETA controller work in interrupt per sent packet mode by setting coalescing threshold to 0.

The error message "Argument list too long" isn't helpful. The error occurs because an IPv6 address is given in backup mode. The error is in make_receive_sock() in net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c, since it fails to set the interface on the address or the socket before calling inet6_bind() (via sock->ops->bind), where the test 'if (!sk->sk_bound_dev_if)' failed. Setting sock->sk->sk_bound_dev_if on the socket before calling inet6_bind() resolves the issue.
