This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371. As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a char sized socket option value, as in: unsigned char ttl = 255; socklen_t len = sizeof(ttl); setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len); getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len); The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little- endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written with garbage. It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt(): if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) { It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it copies a full 'int' back to userspace. On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace. On big endian it writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three bytes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Without this patch, the generic L3 tracker would kick in if nf_conntrack_ipv4 was not loaded before nf_nat, which would lead to translation problems with ICMP errors. NAT does not make sense without IPv4 connection tracking anyway, so just add a call to need_ipv4_conntrack().

Commit df9dcb45 ([IPSEC]: Fix inter address family IPsec tunnel handling) broke openswan by removing the selector initialization for tunnel mode in case it is uninitialized. This patch restores the initialization, fixing openswan, but probably breaking inter-family tunnels again (unknown since the patch author disappeared). The correct thing for inter-family tunnels is probably to simply initialize the selector family explicitly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

If print_mac() is used inside of a pr_debug() the compiler can't see that the call is redundant so still performs it even of pr_debug() ends up being a nop. So don't use print_mac() in such cases in hot code paths, use MAC_FMT et al. instead. As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to handle this better, but that is a change to an interface used by the entire kernel and thus needs to be validated carefully. This here is thus the less risky fix for 2.6.25 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal packet ordering may be violated allowing FRTO to make a wrong decision (it might not be that serious threat for anything though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is underway. It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one but I didn't implement it now (plain seqno in window check isn't robust against wraparounds).

This fixes Bugzilla #10384 tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use. The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well, leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate ACK will fix the S counter. More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie., the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs had arrived. So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit 1b6d427b ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled. With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow because our code was built on top of assumption about valid NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for the overflow in a number of places. It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried. Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an overflow. Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here. Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK for 2.6.26. In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect is slightly different because of a small changes in the if conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The fast retransmission can be forced locally to the rfc3517 branch in tcp_update_scoreboard instead of making such fragile constructs deeper in tcp_mark_head_lost. This is necessary for the next patch which must not have loopholes for cnt > packets check. As one can notice, readability got some improvements too because of this :-).

Anycast DST entries allocated inside ipv6_dev_ac_inc are leaked when network device is stopped without removing IPv6 addresses from it. The bug has been observed in the reality on 2.6.18-rhel5 kernel. In the above case addrconf_ifdown marks all entries as obsolete and ip6_del_rt called from __ipv6_dev_ac_dec returns ENOENT. The referrence is not dropped. The fix is simple. DST entry should not keep referrence when stored in the FIB6 tree. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The ICMP relookup path is only meant to modify behaviour when appropriate IPsec policies are in place and marked as requiring relookups. It is certainly not meant to modify behaviour when IPsec policies don't exist at all. However, due to an oversight on the error paths existing behaviour may in fact change should one of the relookup steps fail. This patch corrects this by redirecting all errors on relookup failures to the previous code path. That is, if the initial xfrm_lookup let the packet pass, we will stand by that decision should the relookup fail due to an error. This should be safe from a security point-of-view because compliant systems must install a default deny policy so the packet would'nt have passed in that case.

Markers do not mix well with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU because it uses preempt_disable/enable() and not rcu_read_lock/unlock for minimal intrusiveness. We would need call_sched and sched_barrier primitives. Currently, the modification (connection and disconnection) of probes from markers requires changes to the data structure done in RCU-style : a new data structure is created, the pointer is changed atomically, a quiescent state is reached and then the old data structure is freed. The quiescent state is reached once all the currently running preempt_disable regions are done running. We use the call_rcu mechanism to execute kfree() after such quiescent state has been reached. However, the new CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of call_rcu and rcu_barrier does not guarantee that all preempt_disable code regions have finished, hence the race. The "proper" way to do this is to use rcu_read_lock/unlock, but we don't want to use it to minimize intrusiveness on the traced system. (we do not want the marker code to call into much of the OS code, because it would quickly restrict what can and cannot be instrumented, such as the scheduler). The temporary fix, until we get call_rcu_sched and rcu_barrier_sched in mainline, is to use synchronize_sched before each call_rcu calls, so we wait for the quiescent state in the system call code path. It will slow down batch marker enable/disable, but will make sure the race is gone. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Paul E.

Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine. This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following: # makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile The kernel version is not supported. The created dumpfile may be incomplete. _exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node. makedumpfile Failed. # The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data. If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly. To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi <oomichi@mxs.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: "Eric W.
