      tipc: avoid stale link after aborted failover · 7d24dcdb
      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes
      down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic
      from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently
      abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to
      non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish
      contact with its peer when it comes available.
      
      However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually
      disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted;
      which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished.
      Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node
      structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re-
      establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question.
      
      We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from
      resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is
      also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional
      tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.

      tipc: add reference count to struct tipc_link · 2d72d495
      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      When a bearer is disabled, all pertaining links will be reset and
      deleted. However, if there is a second active link towards a killed
      link's destination, the delete has to be postponed until the failover
      is finished. During this interval, we currently put the link in zombie
      mode, i.e., we take it out of traffic, delete its timer, but leave it
      attached to the owner node structure until all missing packets have
      been received.  When this is done, we detach the link from its node
      and delete it, assuming that the synchronous timer deletion that was
      initiated earlier in a different thread has finished.
      
      This is unsafe, as the failover may finish before del_timer_sync()
      has returned in the other thread.
      
      We fix this by adding an atomic reference counter of type kref in
      struct tipc_link. The counter keeps track of the references kept
      to the link by the owner node and the timer. We then do a conditional
      delete, based on the reference counter, both after the failover has
      been finished and when the timer expires, if applicable. Whoever
      comes last, will actually delete the link. This approach also implies
      that we can make the deletion of the timer asynchronous.

      The bnep_get_device function may be triggered by an ioctl just after a

      net: dctcp: loosen requirement to assert ECT(0) during 3WHS · 843c2fdf
      Florian Westphal authored
      One deployment requirement of DCTCP is to be able to run
      in a DC setting along with TCP traffic. As Glenn Judd's
      NSDI'15 paper "Attaining the Promise and Avoiding the Pitfalls
      of TCP in the Datacenter" [1] (tba) explains, one way to
      solve this on switch side is to split DCTCP and TCP traffic
      in two queues per switch port based on the DSCP: one queue
      soley intended for DCTCP traffic and one for non-DCTCP traffic.
      
      For the DCTCP queue, there's the marking threshold K as
      explained in commit e3118e83 ("net: tcp: add DCTCP congestion
      control algorithm") for RED marking ECT(0) packets with CE.
      For the non-DCTCP queue, there's f.e. a classic tail drop queue.
      As already explained in e3118e83, running DCTCP at scale
      when not marking SYN/SYN-ACK packets with ECT(0) has severe
      consequences as for non-ECT(0) packets, traversing the RED
      marking DCTCP queue will result in a severe reduction of
      connection probability.
      
      This is due to the DCTCP queue being dominated by ECT(0) traffic
      and switches handle non-ECT traffic in the RED marking queue
      after passing K as drops, where K is usually a low watermark
      in order to leave enough tailroom for bursts. Splitting DCTCP
      traffic among several queues (ECN and non-ECN queue) is being
      considered a terrible idea in the network community as it
      splits single flows across multiple network paths.
      
      Therefore, commit e3118e83 implements this on Linux as
      ECT(0) marked traffic, as we argue that marking all packets
      of a DCTCP flow is the only viable solution and also doesn't
      speak against the draft.
      
      However, recently, a DCTCP implementation for FreeBSD hit also
      their mainline kernel [2]. In order to let them play well
      together with Linux' DCTCP, we would need to loosen the
      requirement that ECT(0) has to be asserted during the 3WHS as
      not implemented in FreeBSD. This simplifies the ECN test and
      lets DCTCP work together with FreeBSD.
      
      Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

      David S. Miller authored
      Willem de Bruijn says:
      
      ====================
      net-timestamp: blinding
      
      Changes
        (v2 -> v3)
        - rebase only: v2 did not make it to patchwork / netdev
        (v1 -> v2)
        - fix capability check in patch 2
            this could be moved into net/core/sock.c as sk_capable_nouser()
        (rfc -> v1)
        - dropped patch 4: timestamp batching
            due to complexity, as discussed
        - dropped patch 5: default mode
            because it does not really cover all use cases, as discussed
        - added documentation
        - minor fix, see patch 2
      
      Two issues were raised during recent timestamping discussions:
      1. looping full packets on the error queue exposes packet headers
      2. TCP timestamping with retransmissions generates many timestamps
      
      This RFC patchset is an attempt at addressing both without breaking
      legacy behavior.
      
      Patch 1 reintroduces the "no payload" timestamp option, which loops
      timestamps onto an empty skb. This reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF
      from looping many timestamps. It does not reduce the number of recv()
      calls needed to process them. The timestamp cookie mechanism developed
      in http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/427213/ did, but this is
      considerably simpler.
      
      Patch 2 then gives administrators the power to block all timestamp
      requests that contain data by unprivileged users. I proposed this
      earlier as a backward compatible workaround in the discussion of
      
        net-timestamp: pull headers for SOCK_STREAM
        http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/414810/
      
      Patch 3 only updates the txtimestamp example to test this option.
      Verified that with option '-n', length is zero in all cases and
      option '-I' (PKTINFO) stops working.

      net-timestamp: no-payload only sysctl · b245be1f
      Willem de Bruijn authored
      Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This
      mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload
      options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set.
      
      Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This
      only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW.
      
      The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack.
      It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the
      sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier.
      
      No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge
      gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow
      administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible
      breakage of legacy applications.

      Changes
        (v1 -> v2)
        - test socket CAP_NET_RAW instead of capable(CAP_NET_RAW)
        (rfc -> v1)
        - document the sysctl in Documentation/sysctl/net.txt
        - fix access control race: read .._OPT_TSONLY only once,
              use same value for permission check and skb generation.

      Add timestamping option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY. For transmit
      timestamps, this loops timestamps on top of empty packets.
      
      Doing so reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF. Payload inspection and
      cmsg reception (aside from timestamps) are no longer possible. This
      works together with a follow on patch that allows administrators to
      only allow tx timestamping if it does not loop payload or metadata.
