In the event that our entire receive buffer is full with a series of chunks that represent a single gap-ack, and then we accept a chunk (or chunks) that fill in the gap between the ctsn and the first gap, we renege chunks from the end of the buffer, which effectively does nothing but move our gap to the end of our received tsn stream. This does little but move our missing tsns down stream a little, and, if the sender is sending sufficiently large retransmit frames, the result is a perpetual slowdown which can never be recovered from, since the only chunk that can be accepted to allow progress in the tsn stream necessitates that a new gap be created to make room for it. This leads to a constant need for retransmits, and subsequent receiver stalls. The fix I've come up with is to deliver the frame without reneging if we have a full receive buffer and the receiving sockets sk_receive_queue is empty(indicating that the receive buffer is being blocked by a missing tsn).

Right now, every time we increase our rwnd by more then MTU bytes, we trigger a SACK. When processing large messages, this will generate a SACK for almost every other SCTP fragment. However since we are freeing the entire message at the same time, we might as well collapse the SACK generation to 1.

When using ASSOCINFO socket option, we need to limit the number of maximum association retransmissions to be no greater than the sum of all the path retransmissions. This is specified in Section 7.1.2 of the SCTP socket API draft. However, we only do this if the association has multiple paths. If there is only one path, the protocol stack will use the assoc_max_retrans setting when trying to retransmit packets.

As it is the bridge will only ever declare NETIF_F_IP_CSUM even if all its constituent devices support NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. This patch fixes this by supporting the first one out of NETIF_F_NO_CSUM, NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM that is supported by all constituent devices.

The current stack treats NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_NO_CSUM identically so we test for them in quite a few places. For the sake of brevity, I'm adding the macro NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM for these two. We also test the disjunct of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and the other two in various places, for that purpose I've added NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM.

Herbert Xu pointed out that it is unsafe to call netif_tx_disable() from LLTX drivers because it uses dev->xmit_lock to synchronize whereas LLTX drivers use private locks. Convert tg3 to non-LLTX to fix this issue. tg3 is a lockless driver where hard_start_xmit and tx completion handling can run concurrently under normal conditions. A tx_lock is only needed to prevent netif_stop_queue and netif_wake_queue race condtions when the queue is full. So whether we use LLTX or non-LLTX, it makes practically no difference.

Remove tx_lock where it is unnecessary. tg3 runs lockless and so it requires interrupts to be disabled and sync'ed, netif_queue and NAPI poll to be stopped before the device can be reconfigured. After stopping everything, it is no longer necessary to get the tx_lock. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Use CPU native page size to determine various ring sizes. This allows order-0 memory allocations on all systems. Added check to limit the page size to 16K since that's the maximum rx ring size that will be used. This will prevent using unnecessarily large page sizes on some architectures with large page sizes.

In ppp_receive_nonmp_frame, we call pskb_may_pull(skb, skb->len) if the tailroom is >= 124. This is pointless because this pskb_may_pull is only needed if the skb is non-linear. However, if it is non-linear then the tailroom would be zero. So it can be safely removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but is more general. Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that. Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's either non-linear or cloned. Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner. This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use. With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take xmit_lock recursively. While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible. So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner. I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock. This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small bug fix in winbond. It currently uses netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to use netif_tx_disable. The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

Add new per-packet access controls to SELinux, replacing the old packet controls. Packets are labeled with the iptables SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets, then security policy for the packets is enforced with these controls. To allow for a smooth transition to the new controls, the old code is still present, but not active by default. To restore previous behavior, the old controls may be activated at runtime by writing a '1' to /selinux/compat_net, and also via the kernel boot parameter selinux_compat_net. Switching between the network control models requires the security load_policy permission. The old controls will probably eventually be removed and any continued use is discouraged. With this patch, the new secmark controls for SElinux are disabled by default, so existing behavior is entirely preserved, and the user is not affected at all. It also provides a config option to enable the secmark controls by default (which can always be overridden at boot and runtime). It is also noted in the kconfig help that the user will need updated userspace if enabling secmark controls for SELinux and that they'll probably need the SECMARK and CONNMARK targets, and conntrack protocol helpers, although such decisions are beyond the scope of kernel configuration.

Add a new xtables target, CONNSECMARK, which is used to specify rules for copying security marks from packets to connections, and for copyying security marks back from connections to packets. This is similar to the CONNMARK target, but is more limited in scope in that it only allows copying of security marks to and from packets, as this is all it needs to do. A typical scenario would be to apply a security mark to a 'new' packet with SECMARK, then copy that to its conntrack via CONNMARK, and then restore the security mark from the connection to established and related packets on that connection.

Add a secmark field to IP and NF conntracks, so that security markings on packets can be copied to their associated connections, and also copied back to packets as required.
