While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in neighbour code. When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test()) But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock. Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not inserted in route cache. With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour, results are : Before patch: real 2m28.406s user 0m11.781s sys 36m17.964s After patch: real 1m26.532s user 0m12.185s sys 20m3.903s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adapts qeth to handle tagged frames with VLAN-ID 0 and with or without priority information in the tag. It enables qeth to receive priority-tagged frames on a base interface, for example from z/OS, without configuring an additional VLAN interface.

This code does not call deinit_card(card); in an error case, as done in other error-handling code in the same function. But actually, the called function init_sram can only return 0, so there is no need for the error check at all. init_sram is also given a void return type, and its single return statement at the end of the function is dropped. A simplified version of the sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ @r@ statement S1,S2,S3; constant C1,C2,C3; @@ *if (...) {... S1 return -C1;} ... *if (...) {... when != S1 return -C2;} ... *if (...) {... S1 return -C3;} // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

The sctp_asoc_get_hmac() function iterates through a peer's hmac_ids array and attempts to ensure that only a supported hmac entry is returned. The current code fails to do this properly - if the last id in the array is out of range (greater than SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX), the id integer remains set after exiting the loop, and the address of an out-of-bounds entry will be returned and subsequently used in the parent function, causing potentially ugly memory corruption. This patch resets the id integer to 0 on encountering an invalid id so that NULL will be returned after finishing the loop if no valid ids are found.

Two user-controlled allocations in SCTP are subsequently dereferenced as sockaddr structs, without checking if the dereferenced struct members fall beyond the end of the allocated chunk. There doesn't appear to be any information leakage here based on how these members are used and additional checking, but it's still worth fixing.

A recent patch to allow IGMPv2 responses to IGMPv3 queries bypasses length checks for valid query lengths, incorrectly resets the v2_seen timer, and does not support IGMPv1.

This reverts commit e81963b1. LRO is now deprecated in favour of GRO, and only a few drivers use it, so it is desirable to build it as a module in distribution kernels. The original change to prevent building it as a module was made in an attempt to avoid the case where some dependents are set to y and some to m, and INET_LRO can be set to m rather than y. However, the Kconfig system will reliably set INET_LRO=y in this case. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch fixes the condition (3rd arg) passed to sk_wait_event() in sk_stream_wait_memory(). The incorrect check in sk_stream_wait_memory() causes the following soft lockup in tcp_sendmsg() when the global tcp memory pool has exhausted. >>> snip <<< localhost kernel: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 11s!

This is because both sk_stream_memory_free() and vm_wait are true which causes sk_wait_event() to *not* call schedule_timeout(). Hence sk_stream_wait_memory() returns immediately to the caller w/o sleeping. This causes the caller to again try allocation, which again fails and again calls sk_stream_wait_memory(), and so on.
