[NET]: Fix compat layer setsockopt overzealous conversions. · aeb2cc38

David Woodhouse authored Sep 06, 2004

compat_sys_setsockopt() is a little overzealous about converting 32-bit
stuff into 64-bit. It should match on level _and_ optname, not just
optname. Currently it eats the IPV6_V6ONLY sockopt because its value
(26) happens to match SO_ATTACH_FILTER.

This makes it at least check 'level' for everything but
IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE == IPT6_SO_SET_REPLACE, because that does seem to be
the same in different levels. But do_netfilter_replace() is another can
of worms entirely -- it doesn't actually work either, because some
netfilter modules (like ipt_limit) include kernel-only bits which change
size in the structure they share with userspace.

[NET]: Fully plug netigh_create/inetdev_destroy race. · cb402627

Herbert Xu authored Sep 06, 2004

So here is a patch to make sure that there is a barrier between the
reading of dev->*_ptr and *dev->neigh_parms.

With these barriers in place, it's clear that *dev->neigh_parms can no
longer be NULL since once the parms are allocated, that pointer is never
reset to NULL again.  Therefore I've also removed the parms check in
these paths.

They were bogus to begin with since if they ever triggered then we'll
have dead neigh entries stuck in the hash table.

Unfortunately I couldn't arrange for this to happen with DECnet due
to the dn_db->parms.up() call that's sandwiched between the assignment
of dev->dn_ptr and dn_db->neigh_parms.  So I've kept the parms check
there but it will now fail instead of continuing.  I've also added an
smp_wmb() there so that at least we won't be reading garbage from
dn_db->neigh_parms.

DECnet is also buggy since there is no locking at all in the destruction
path.  It either needs locking or RCU like IPv4.

[TCP]: Make TSO play nice with congestion window. · 14a1f445

David S. Miller authored Sep 06, 2004

Previously TSO would not abide by the congestion
window properly.  Essentially, each TSO packet would
be trated just like 1 normal packet, even though a TSO
packet generates more than 1 normal packet.  This
violates congestion window rules entirely.

So now we record the TSO factor, a count of how many
real packets a TSO packet will generate, and include
this in all the packet counting routines.

This initial version has a bug in that skb_entail() is
not the correct time to figure out the TSO factor for
the SKB, and tp->mss_tso_factor is not necessarily the
right value for a given SKB.  Will fix this up next.

[NET]: Add reference counting to neigh_parms. · 10bc9563

Herbert Xu authored Sep 02, 2004

I've added a refcnt on neigh_parms as well as a dead flag.  The latter
is checked under the tbl_lock before adding a neigh entry to the hash
table.

The non-trivial bit of the patch is the first chunk of net/core/neighbour.c.
I removed that line because not doing so would mean that I have to drop
the reference to the parms right there.  That would've lead to race
conditions since many places dereference neigh->parms without holding
locks.  It's also unnecessary to reset n->parms since we're no longer
in a hurry to see it go due to the new ref counting.

You'll also notice that I've put all dereferences of dev->*_ptr under
the rcu_read_lock().  Without this we may get a neigh_parms that's
already been released.

Incidentally a lot of these places were racy even before the RCU change.
For example, in the IPv6 case neigh->parms may be set to a value that's
just been released.

Finally in order to make sure that all stale entries are purged as
quickly as possible I've added neigh_ifdown/arp_ifdown calls after
every neigh_parms_release call.  In many cases we now have multiple
calls to neigh_ifdown in the shutdown path.  I didn't remove the
earlier calls because there may be hidden dependencies for them to
be there.  Once the respective maintainers have looked at them we
can probably remove most of them.

[PATCH] fixed pidhashing patch · 37cbd41d

Kirill Korotaev authored Sep 02, 2004

This patch fixes strange and obscure pid implementation in current kernels:
- it removes calling of put_task_struct() from detach_pid()
  under tasklist_lock. This allows to use blocking calls
  in security_task_free() hooks (in __put_task_struct()).
- it saves some space = 5*5 ints = 100 bytes in task_struct
- it's smaller and tidy, more straigthforward and doesn't use
  any knowledge about pids using and assignment.
- it removes pid_links and pid_struct doesn't hold reference counters
  on task_struct. instead, new pid_structs and linked altogether and
  only one of them is inserted in hash_list.
